Q&A: Spartz reflects on first months in Congress

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz began her first term representing Indiana’s 5th District on Jan. 3.

P0LITICS During one for her frequent visits to the district, Current caught up with Spartz for a Q&A interview after she had finished touring the Lawrence PoSpartz lice Dept. headquarters.

How has your experience in Washington, D.C., over the last several months differed from your expectations going in?

I didn’t have very high expectations. I’m not naïve. I’ve been in politics long enough.

It’s unfortunate. Such a serious institution with an important function and it’s become so dysfunctional. I talked to one of the members, Alaska’s Don Young, he’s been there since 1973, he’s the second congressman since Alaska became a state, and I asked him, “Has it always been that bad?”

And he says, “It’s never been as bad as it is right now.”

H.R. 1 recently passed the House and now is sitting in the Senate. It aims to federalize many of our country’s voting processes. Why did you vote against the bill?

H.R. 1 is actually an awful bill. There are a lot of things in that bill that are centralizing more power in the federal government. To think that a small group of people know better and are superior to millions of people on the ground, I would say it is

To our valued readers: Current remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we will continue our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will

probably the opposite. I think centralizing (an increasing amount of power) is a very bad idea The bill would cause significant change to Indiana’s election laws by federalizing elections and eliminating the voter ID requirement. Do you think the federal government should be involved in how individual states operate their elections?

I think it’s more of a state issue than a federal issue. There are a few things that the federal government can look inside, like how we can improve more integrity of the federal elections and just deal with the federal piece. And having IDs, there is nothing wrong with that. We have IDs for everything. You cannot get on the plane without having an ID. The more populations grow, if you don’t have some controls in place, then that creates more opportunity for fraud.

Infrastructure is a big agenda item for President Joe Biden, and the bill — American Jobs Plan — is going to cost a lot.

What was your take on it?

Unfortunately, in the COVID bill, only 10 percent was related to COVID-19. And now in the infrastructure bill, only 6 percent is related to actual infrastructure that people think of — roads and bridges. I think if the president wants to have debate on other issues, we can have a separate debate, but

he cannot lump every issue that he wants to deal with into one bill to try to force everyone to vote for something. It’s one thing, at least, if we spend our money and invest in assets like roads and bridges and tangible infrastructure that’s going to last us. You can justify (to future generations), “OK, you guys are going to take advantage of this.” Instead (we are) spending money to put bandages on issues that have existed for a long time and not resolving them.

How do you think our area of Indiana, maybe even Indiana as a whole, matches up with the rest of the country? Are we doing better, worse?

We have a lot to offer in this state, and I think it provides us an opportunity to compete with other states. We have good, stable laws. We have a good regulatory environment. We have good schools. We have economic growth and a low tax base.

Going around other states, I’ve been very disturbed to see what is happening out there.

We have a very efficient operation, and the other states are wasting money left and right, and I feel like my citizens in Indiana have to pay for it? That’s very frustrating. Why should we pay for programs in other states, New York and California, that don’t do a good job? That’s their state. If you don’t like it, move to another state or take down your elected officials.

“I didnt have very high expectations … such a serious institution with an important function and it’s become so dysfuntional.”

– U.S. REP. VICTORIA SPARTZ

continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community. That means, in a fourweek month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail. In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change.

It’s starting to appear that we’ll be able to return to weekly circulation at 100

percent sooner than later. As we indicated before, exactly when is anyone’s guess, but is something we badly want to restore.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to work to get back to business as usual.

Neumann selected to city council

Entertaining Design

Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Crystal Neumann is the newest member of the Fishers City Council.

She was sworn GOVERNMENT in April 26 by Judge Daniel Henke in the same chambers where she will serve as the second Democrat on the council. She looks forward to getting to work.

“I definitely want to see a lot more (done) with diversity, equity and inclusion,” Neumann said. “I definitely want to see more transparency and include people. There are a lot of Fishers citizens who want to have a voice and want to be involved, they just don’t know how. We just need to organize them and develop our coalition.”

Neumann defeated Chauna Leigh Holder at an April 25 Hamilton County Democratic Party caucus to fill the seat vacated by Samantha DeLong, who is moving to Nevada.

The vote tally was kept confidential.

“Crystal is a uniquely qualified individual who will serve the residents of Fishers well. We are looking forward to seeing her work alongside fellow Democratic councilor

Jocelyn Vare to improve the transparency of the city’s finances and be a strong voice for underrepresented individuals in our community,” Hamilton County Democratic Chair Dayne Colbert stated.

The opportunity to join the council came early for Neumann, who was looking to run for office in 2023. She received encouragement from her mentor, Christina Hale, to vie for the vacancy. Hale, a Democrat, lost to Victoria Spartz in the 2020 race for the 5th District Congressional seat.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury.

For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Michael, 8th grader at Noblesville West Middle school, plays football and baseball both at school and through travel leagues. Since his first injury in 5th grade, Michael has dealt with reoccurring sports related knee injuries. When Michael was first injured, his father, Brandon, knew Michael Bennett is an 8th he wanted to get his son over to Methodist Sports grader at Noblesville West Medicine for an evaluation. Brandon had surgery Middle School performed on his knee at MSM years ago when he was injured in high school sports. Knowing the level of care that he received then, and how smoothly the recovery process was, Brandon got Michael set up at MSM. WHY MSM: “Every experience throughout this process has been fantastic,” said Brandon, Michael’s father. “From the care that he received the moment we walked in, to the treatment by Dr. Ritter and his associates, the surgery at Beltway, to the physical therapy at Finch Creek with Nate and Melissa, it has all been phenomenal!”

THE JOURNEY: During his appointment with Dr. Mark Ritter, specialist in orthopedic sports medicine & trauma, Michael was informed that he had a hereditary condition which offset his kneecaps, causing ongoing patella instability. With the need to hold off on surgery until his growth plates were closed, Michael received physical therapy at MSM until the time was right. At a checkup appointment in the fall of 2020, Michael was informed that his growth plates were officially closed, and that it was time to make a tough decision to either keep playing through the pain, or go through with the surgery. Ultimately, Michael decided to have the surgery so that he would be back on the field for summer ball and freshman football. “I thought I would not be able to try out for the Middle School baseball team,” said Michael. “My recovery was so far ahead of schedule I was able to try out for the team and make it.” A surgery that typically takes six to nine months for recovery took Michael only four and a half.

“Michael poured dedication and energy into his rehabilitation,” said Dr. Ritter. “He’s returning to the baseball diamond just a few months after his reconstructive surgery. His quick return is a product of his hard work with MSM’s physical therapy staff.”

Michael continues to receive physical therapy at MSM’s Finch Creek Noblesville location as he gets back in the swing of things. He has been able to return to doing the things that he loves most - fishing, catching baseballs behind the plate, and being active with friends and family.

Giving back by design

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com The challenge that NKBA Indiana presented during its 2021 Student Design Competition for a dozen stuHABITAT FOR dents from Purdue and Ball State universities HUMANITY was to design a kitchen.

They were given a floor plan and a list of ideas that a future resident might want.

The rest was up to their interior designer’s imagination.

The students competed against classmates but also against their rival school.

The prize? The winner’s design would be incorporated into a new Habitat for Humanity home in the city of their choice.

“It definitely made me pay attention more to the client,” said Lauren Cloonan, a Carmel native and Ball State sophomore.

The event was presented by NKBA, or National Kitchen and Bath Association. The NKBA holds national and local competitions.

“I chose state (competition) because I knew it was more close to the community, and it’s through Habitat for Humanity family and it’s a small competition as well,” Cloonan said.

There were real-life applications, too. That was the aspect that drew Fishers resident and Ball State graduate student Emily Scully to the competition.

“It was more of a real experience because designing a kitchen is a lot of effort and a lot of work and I thought that would be helpful in the future,” she said. “Also, using the programs and the technology that we use is called Revit, so it would give me more background experience.”

Ball State student Amber Scott of Dale was Ball State’s competition winner. Katlyn Griffin, of Georgetown was Purdue’s winner and the overall winner.

Yvonne Stokes has been named superintendent of Hamilton Southeastern Schools and will EDUCATION assume her new role July 1.

Stokes, a former Fishers resident, spent the past four years as an assistant superintendent at the Stokes School Town of Munster school district and previously worked as an associate superintendent at Indianapolis Public Schools. She’s also worked for schools in Blackford County, Marion and Fort Wayne.

“I have always admired Hamilton Southeastern Schools,” Stokes said. “(I) am well aware of the excellent reputation for academic rigor, student and staff support and community engagement.”

Stokes, who received a 2018 Indiana Governor’s Award for Achievement in Education, set herself apart from the 25 other candidates “because of her comprehensive education experience, her collaborative approach to addressing challenges and her approachable communication style,” according to a news release from HSE. Stokes replaces Allen Bourff, who announced his retirement in November 2020.

Cervical cancer survivor stresses importance of routine health screenings Patient describes relationship formed with Ascension St. Vincent care teams as a ‘blessing’ After a visit to the emergency room due to uncontrollable bleeding, Elaine Krieg scheduled a Pap test with her OB-GYN. When the test detected abnormal cells, her doctor did a cervical biopsy. She said she remembers crying and pulling over to the side of the road when her doctor called with her results.

“I got the call on a Friday night and my doctor told me that I had cervical cancer,” said Elaine. “I was shocked.”

Elaine received chemotherapy and radiation, and has been in remission for two years. She said she has “been blessed” by the relationships she has formed with her care teams at Ascension St. Vincent.

“I feel like I have been surrounded by the best medical team possible,” said Elaine. “My doctors and nurses are amazing, and they listen to all of my questions and concerns.”

Elaine admits she went several years without having a Pap test, but now she encourages all women to stay up to date on the screenings their doctor recommends.

Michael Callahan, MD, is Elaine’s gynecologic oncologist at Ascension St. Vincent. He said all women are at risk for cervical cancer, but it’s seen most often in women over age 30.

“A Pap smear could save your life. It may feel awkward at times, but it’s better to feel awkward for 10 minutes than go through what I went through.”

Elaine Krieg, cervical cancer survivor treated at Ascension St. Vincent

“The human papillomavirus (HPV) is very common and various strains of the virus can cause cervical cancer,” said Dr. Callahan. “Getting screened regularly is important, because it may help find cancer early, when it’s most treatable.”

11

At Ascension St. Vincent, doctors are ready to listen to understand you and your needs as a woman. Gynecologists are available to help determine the screenings that are right for you.

Current recommendations for screenings by age include: • 20s - Women should begin getting regular Pap exams.

• 30s and 40s - Women should begin getting HPV tests in addition to regular Pap exams.

• 50 and older - Women should continue getting regular screenings as recommended by their doctor.

With locations throughout Indiana, Ascension St. Vincent makes getting routine screenings as convenient as possible.

And if more advanced care is needed, you are connected to a team of specialists ready to help. We are maintaining strict precautions to keep you safe in our care.

McCordsville girl competes at Augusta National tournament

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com More than a few avid golfers have spent a lifetime dreaming of sinking a putt on the 18th green at Augusta National Golf Club, but most never come closer than watching pro golfers attempt the feat on TV. Not so for Ressie Lemmon, 10, who lived the dream only four years after first picking up a golf club.

On April 4, at the beginning of Masters week, Ressie was one of 80 finalists from across the nation to compete at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club in the National Drive, Chip and Putt competition. She finished fifth out of 10 in her age group.

To reach Augusta, Ressie advanced in the 7 to 9 age bracket through local and sub-regional qualifiers to compete in the regional competition at Oakland Hills Golf Club in Michigan, which has hosted six U.S. Opens and three PGA Championships.

Ressie, a McCordsville resident and fourth-grade student at Fortville Elementary School, won the sub-regional and regional rounds but finished second in the local qualifier to her little sister, Nellie, 8, who was just old enough to play in the same age bracket.

“I still finished second, so that was good,” Ressie said. “But I’m still a little mad she beat me.”

‘DISNEY WORLD AND HEAVEN FOR GOLFERS’ Golf runs in the Lemmon family. Ressie’s maternal grandfather, Tom Kirby, is the boys golf coach at Mt. Vernon High School.

Her 12-year-old brother, Elijah, also plays.

Ressie enjoys playing with her family and enjoys the game because of its many challenges.

“I like playing with my family and that not every shot is the same so you kind of have to think about each one differently,” Ressie said.

Ressie and Nellie’s father, Adam Lemmon, 40, isn’t an avid golfer but enjoys being outdoors and the beauty of the golf course.

Most of all, he embraces the opportunity to spend quality time with his children.

“I just love that we get to spend time together outside,” Adam said. “There’s no TV on, we get to walk around together on a beautiful day, and I can ask them about how school went. (Ressie and Nellie) love the game. They always have a smile on at the course.”

Ressie’s mother, April Lemmon, who doesn’t play golf, described the family’s recent trip to Augusta National as “a blend of Disney World and heaven for golfers.”

Her daughter agreed.

“It was very nice,” Ressie said. “The grass was really green. They treated us very well and were very nice and kind to us. I really liked the drive down Magnolia Lane. That was very beautiful. It was just very beautiful there.”

THE PERFECT PUTT The national competition was held in the PGA player’s private chipping area, which is only used once a year by PGA professionals, and the driving range and the 18th green.

Each player had two attempts at each event. For driving, only the longest drive was scored. Ressie’s best drive was her first attempt, 167.7 yards, and she finished sixth in that portion.

Next came chipping. From the private practice area, each player had two chips that were scored on the cumulative distance the ball ended up from the pin. One girl even made her chip shot. Ressie did not, as her chips ended up 8 feet, 4 inch-

es and 7 feet, 5 inches from the hole for a sixth-place finish. Going into the last event, Ressie was tied for seventh.

Her goal entering the Nationals was to finish in the top five, and to reach it she would need to perform well in putting.

She tapped her first putt 5 feet from the hole. To finish in the top five, she’d need to hit her final putt less than 3 feet away from the pin. Ressie sank a 15-foot putt to reach her goal and went home with a fifth-place finish.

Her younger sister, Nellie, looks on. Nellie was the only girl to beat Ressie in any of the preliminary rounds for the National Drive, Chip and Putt competition. (Photos by Jonathan Matthes)

THE PERKS OF AUGUSTA Ressie Lemmon didn’t just leave Augusta National with memories. She also received plenty of gifts to commemorate the trip. “(The Augusta National staff) gave us a bag and we got masks, some pens, like Sharpies, and AirPods,” Ressie said.

Ressie got to meet former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. She fist-bumped two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson.

When she returned home to her friends at Fortville Elementary, she received a bit of star treatment.

“They wanted me to give them my autograph. They told me congratulations,” Ressie said. “They gave me sunglasses and fake flowers.”

Why fake flowers?

“Because that was all they had,” Ressie said with a laugh.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Old-school vacations

Skipping school

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

It is time to get away from it all. The specter of COVID-19 is waning, and the echo of a very tough year is beginning, for many at least, to fade off into the canyon of history. The sun is shining, and the trees again showcase their foliage. Still, the nagging challenges of our daily ritual cast a shadow over us. We need a vacation.

Where will we go? For many of those among us, no kids mean footloose choices. For others, we pack the little ones into the truckster and head to all points of the compass. For those whose nest has emptied, perhaps this is the year for the dream trip — long awaited and much imagined. Or maybe, our plans will take us to visit friends and family, always missed but especially longed for during the lockdowns and travel restrictions. Could we go to the lake again, or is it the summer to visit our college roommate who long ago repaired to some small town out west to pursue her fortune?

Whatever the destination, we pack up, pull out and decamp. With each mile, our recollection of the domestic stresses of difficult customers and the slowly leaking toilet in the guest bath blur into the distance. We set out for new territory, with new faces and a new attitude.

The rules of ordinary life seem more relaxed at some distance from home.

Alas, the phone rings, email dings, and text brings us right back to the office. While we are blessed to enjoy the long tether of the modern age, it is just that, a tether, giving us a prolonged leash but never fully setting us free.

And we like it, mostly. In a world where we can increasingly be anywhere at any time, will there be need for an oldschool vacation?

That second COVID-19 vaccine is no joke! I recently received mine, and despite my “I’ll be fine” and “Everyone else is weak” proclamations, it was never a real contest. Moderna 1, me 0.

I felt so terrible I actually took a sick day! I know! For you non-educators out there, this is tantamount to publicly admitting defeat to your worst enemy in your underwear. You just don’t do it, ever. It’s too much work preparing for a substitute who probably won’t be able to carry out your instructions, anyway, assuming you’re even feeling well enough to pull those worthless plans together. To give you some perspective, I haven’t called in sick in probably seven years, though I’ve certainly been ill enough to warrant it. It’s simply easier to push through.

But I knew about 12 hours after “the shot” that my near-perfect attendance was about to be flushed down the toilet. First, the intense chills and body aches hit, followed by a decent fever and a general sense of awfulness. For a brief moment, I thought maybe I could Zoom from home, but then quickly conceded defeat. If I couldn’t summon the strength to watch Netflix or whisper a thank-you to my husband when he thoughtfully brought me ginger ale, how was I supposed to explain the complexities of Reaganomics? No, I would not be doing any form of teaching in my condition.

So, I informed the pedagogical powers-that-be, curled up on the couch, and … endured, reminding my pitiful self that this flu-like misery was still far better than contracting COVID-19.

Get vaccinated, friends. Even if that second body blow necessitates a sick day.

Peace out.

The new Shake Shack at 9701 E 116th St. in the Fishers District opened April 22. The first person got in line at 8:30 a.m. The line eventually grew to about NEW BIZ 70 people for the opening day for what also is the first Shake Shack in Indiana.

“We knew (the reception) was going to be big,” said Stuart McLaren, general manager of the Fishers location.

“Any time we open a new market, it’s always pretty big.

Definitely once we got settled here and saw the Fishers District, saw Fishers, this community, we realized it was going to be even bigger than expected.”

Shake Shack began as a hot dog stand in 2001 in New York City. It was part of an effort to rejuvenate Madison Square Park. Twenty years later, the company has nearly 300 locations around the world without franchising.

The new Fishers restaurant has a feature no other Shake Shack has.

“The most exciting thing about the Fishers Shack is it’s our first new Shack opening with the pickup window Shack Track option for guests,” said Hannah Yoffa, Midwest regional marketing manager. “So, that means you can go on the app and pick ‘drive-up-window.’ You don’t need to get out of your car. You can order your food and you’ll get a text when your food is ready, then you just drive around and pick it up on your way.”

Carmel actors get another shot at ‘A Few Good Men’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A few hours before opening night of Civic Theatre’s production of “A Few Good Men” on March 13, 2020, DRAMA the curtain dropped on the play because of a shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, more than a year later, the play returns with Carmel resident Matt Kraft in a leading role of Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a Navy lawyer. “A Few Good Men” runs May 7-22 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“I think one of the biggest challenges of this role is just memorizing the sheer amount of dialogue my character has, but that’s the best problem I could ever ask for,” said Kraft, a 2009 Carmel High School graduate. “(Playwright) Aaron Sorkin writes incredibly sharp dialogue, so it’s a ton of fun to get to use it in this play. I started going over the script and the lines again about three weeks before rehearsal.

It’s actually cool coming back to this story a year later because I see pieces now that I missed the first time.”

The play is about the trial of two Marines charged with complicity in the death of a fellow Marine. The play was made into a 1992 movie.

“I am so glad to have the chance to finish what we started with this show,” Kraft said. “Everyone at the theater is so fun to hang out with at rehearsal every day, and I can’t wait for audiences to finally see this.”

Kraft performed in “Pride and Prejudice” at Civic Theatre in February. Kraft is confident “A Few Good Men” can succeed because of all the challenges involved with juggling that show.

“It’s like, ‘Hey, if we can do a Jane Austen adaptation with English accents, masks and basically no live audience, we can definitely do ‘A Few Good Men,’” Kraft said.

Jonathan Scoble, a Carmel resident, returns in his role as Lt. Jonathan James Kendrick.

‘Light on the Horizon’ Civic Theatre will present “Light on the Horizon” through May 15 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Performances are at 7 p.m. May 7-9.

In-person and livestream options are available. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

‘Live at the Center’ Starlite Lounge will perform in the “Live at the Center” series at 7:30 p.m. May 6 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. To register for the free livestream, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Beef & Boards Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will present “Smoke on the Mountain” from May 4 to June 20. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

Westfield Playhouse Main Street Productions’ performances of “Silent Sky” May 6-16 at Westfield Playhouse.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. May 6-8, 2:30 p.m. May 9. For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

“We were given about a month to rehearse, and with a few new faces in the cast, there was some work to do,” Scoble said. “For me, personally, it took about a week to get my lines back. My character, however, never really went away. He rattled around my subconscious for over a year, hopeful that we would get another chance to perform, and here we are.”

Scoble said there are some new considerations as a result of the pandemic.

“Mostly in terms of spacing and distancing and such, but we are working through them, almost effortlessly, without diminishing the integrity of the story,” Scoble said. “I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge and commend Civic leadership and our director, John Goodson, for how they’ve handled these circumstances.”

Scoble’s character is that of a military tough guy.

“On the surface, he seems very one-dimensional,” Scoble said. “To some degree, his tough-guy persona is simply an ex-

tension of his commanding officer, Col. Jessup. I believe there is a bit more to him than just that — a bright, articulate, commanding leader with more than a handful of misappropriated, God-fearing tendencies. I have found him to be a relatively dynamic character to portray.”

Scoble performed in the summer of 2020 in a lighthearted Shakespeare abridged show for Indy Bard Fest.

“With the cancellation of all indoor events, the concept was to bring theater to the community in outdoor spaces, which at the time was deemed safe,” Scoble said. “We managed to book 15 shows all over the state of Indiana from August to October, and although a bit non-traditional, it was very well received and considered a huge success. We were even able to stream the show live online in October, which was then still a novel concept in the community theater space — a production I won’t soon forget.”

The Stave

The Stave Burger has plenty of pimento cheese to enjoy. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 5711 McCracken Pike, Frankfort, Ky. What to get: The Stave Burger Price: $14 Anna’s take: This is At the Table with Anna’s Bourbon Trail edition. I went on the Bourbon Trail a few weeks ago with my older brother, Matthew, and although there will be a full story in a future edition about which distilleries we tried, what we liked, what to be sure to do, how to arrive at each destination safely, etc., there’s simply too much information for just one story, so I thought I would summarize the food in one of the At the Table with Anna columns. The Stave takes the top spot, although we did eat at several places like Troll Pub Under the Bridge in Louisville and Bourbon on Main in Frankfort. The Stave is a tiny bourbon bar in

Frankfort, Ky., conveniently placed between two of the distilleries we visited (Woodford Reserve and Castle and Key). We sat on the wrap-around porch because it was a gorgeous day. We ordered bourbon cocktails that were made with orange juice and ginger beer, and we both got the Stave Burger ($14).

Pimento cheese is apparently a big thing in Kentucky, and this one-third-pound burger was slathered in a house recipe of the stuff.

It also had candied pork belly, and pickled onion served on a toasted potato bun. Tip for all backyard grillers: toast your buns.

If you find yourself near Frankfort, Ky., stop at The Stave. I do encourage you to call ahead and reserve a spot because Kentucky is a bit behind Indiana on loosening COVID-19 restrictions, and it’s a very small restaurant.

Behind bars: The Cure Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 1.5 oz. gin, .5 oz. cherry liqueur, .75 oz. lemon juice, .75 oz. aquafaba, .75 oz. rosemary-raspberry simple syrup, Rosemary sprig Directions: Dry shake the ingredients, then shake them with ice and double strain into a chilled wine glass. Garnish with a torched rosemary sprig.

Don’t forget your shacket Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Story Inn, Story, Ind. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A fascinating little Story Commentary by Don Knebel Many Hoosiers know about the charm of Nashville, Ind. Fewer know about Story, a unique town 13 miles away.

TRAVEL In 1851, President Millard Fillmore granted a 173-acre tract of land in southern Brown County to George Story, an Ohio physician attracted to the area by its timber. Dr. Story and his family erected buildings on a cleared site, which became known first as “Storyville,” and then simply as “Story.” Within a few years, the unincorporated village was the largest in the area, including homes, a doctor’s office, a general store, a church, a school, a sawmill, a grist mill, a slaughterhouse and a post office. When the general store, which supplied huckster wagons servicing nearby farms, burned in 1915, the owner replaced it with a larger two-story structure. A second general store was added in the 1920s, the peak of the town’s prosperity. The Great Depression, during which Brown County lost half its population, hit Story hard. The creation of Lake Monroe in 1960, cutting off highway access to the town from Blooming-

ton, furthered its decline.

Today, all 14 remaining buildings are operated as Story Inn, a bed and breakfast using the slogan “One inconvenient location since 1851.” The restaurant in the original general store still has Standard Oil crown pumps near the entrance and features stained glass windows, creaky floors, a potbelly stove, rusty farm antiques and the presidential land grant. It is famous for Indiana-inspired gourmet meals. When I ate there last month, the food and service were superb. The five course, prix fixe meal included an egg arpege amuse, featuring poached yolk, trout roe, pickled fennel and matsutake sabayon, and a magnificent caramelized onion soup. Story Inn is near the end of a winding scenic road that runs south from Nashville. The next time you visit Nashville, consider a trip to Story.

It’s that time of year: is it spring yet? Or is it summer? Wait, is it going to get cold again? What? There’s snow in the forecast this week? Maypril GRAMMAR GUY in central Indiana is like a box of chocolates, assuming that box of chocolates was insane and had a personal vendetta against you and your garden.

Enter the shacket. While in New England, a shacket is another name for a yellowjacket or hornet, I’m not talking about flying insects with miniature needles on their butts. No, I’m talking about a piece of clothing that is the hybrid of a shirt and a jacket. It’s a shacket. Picture a thick, slightly oversized flannel shirt for which retailers can charge $130 and you’ll get a good idea of what the shacket is.

Is it too cold to go out with just your regular shirt on? Grab a shacket. Is it too warm for your hoodie? Shacket time. In case you’re not following the right Instagram influencers, just know that the shacket is blowing up everyone’s feeds, stories and reels these days. Yes, this year

the shacket is just the clothing item that will get you through this tricky time of the season when Mother Nature decides to hit you with a late frost around the time you’re scheduling your Memorial Day plans.

What kind of word is “shacket”? If this were the year 2010, we’d call it a “mashup,” but “Glee” is not on the air anymore. First, “shacket” is a neologism, which is a fancy way of saying “a newly coined word.”

More specifically, “shacket” is a type of “word blend” or “portmanteau.” Believe it or not, both of these terms mean the same thing.

Whether you call them “word blends” or “portmanteaus,” this type of word is everywhere. From “jorts” (jeans + shorts) to “turducken” (turkey + duck + chicken) the novelty of newly coined word blends — especially in the case of the shacket — makes for a great hashtag.

MULCH? Looks good.

Isn’t fun!
