Beck’s seeks tax abatement

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Just hours after announcing plans for a $60 million expansion of its Atlanta headquarters, Beck’s Hybrids discussed four county council resolutions that would provide two tax abatements and establish a new economic revitalization area with the Hamilton County Council on April 2.

Sonny Beck, president of Beck’s Hybrids, said the project has a net worth of $5.6 million for the county during a 20-year period – Beck $2 million the first 10 years and $3.6 million the following 10 years.

The request from the company is for 100 percent of its $45 million personal property for 10 years and 50 percent of their real property for 10 years. Beck said that the company decided to ask for the 50 percent of real property (a savings of $2 million) to allow money to flow locally.

“It allows other taxing agents to share in additional revenues in the first 10 years,” he said.

“It works for them, it works for us,” Councilor Brad Beaver said.

Beck said the total taxes his company in 2014 to 2025 will be $11.8 million. After the proposed abatements end, Beck said that amount increases to $12.2 million for 2026 to 2035.

Beck said the $60 million expansion will add research labs, greenhouses, seed-processing facilities and equipment, and offices at Beck’s 1 million-squarefoot headquarters complex. He said the construction will be completed in the next three to four years.

“It will create over 100 jobs in Indiana and a few more in other states,” Beck said. “That will occur easily in the first three years. In 2012 we had 74 new jobs and in 2013 85 new jobs.”

The council has scheduled a public hearing for May 7. After the hearing the council may vote on the final resolutions.

In addition to the tax abatements, Beck’s is working to improve 276th Street over the next two and a half years. The Hamilton County Council and Commissioners are partnering with the state and federal government on the $6 million road improvement.

“There are substantial road improvements in front of the building with county and state funding,” Beck said. “We worked hard to obtain federal grants for some of the roads.”

Beck’s Hybrids operates additional Indiana facilities in Sharpsville, West Lafayette and Noblesville with operations also in Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and Iowa. Beck’s employees 290 full-time employees in Indiana and more than 400 people overall. The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Beck’s up to $825,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $75,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans.

Beck’s Hybrids growing headquarters Atlanta-based Beck’s Hybrids has announced plans to expand its headquarters, production, research and distribution operations in Hamilton County. Officials said the decision will create 100 new jobs by 2017. Officials said the expansion will ease the company’s continued growth, which has been advancing by nearly 20 percent annually for the past 40 years.

“This expansion not only shows our commitment to Midwest farmers, but our long-term partnership with the community, county and state of Indiana,” stated Sonny Beck, president of Beck’s Hybrids.

New construction projects this year include two new 4,000 square-foot greenhouses and the expansion of the biotechnology building, which

will provide more office and laboratory space for research and product development. The company will also add four machinery storage buildings for trucks and seed equipment.

In the next three to four years, the expansion includes an additional soybean seed processing tower that is expected to produce one million bags of seed in the first year. As growth continues, new seed drying and storage facilities will be constructed.

The company plans to begin hiring for positions this summer. Interested applicants may apply by visiting www.beckshybrids.com/quick-links/ careers.

Indiana American to flush mains

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Indiana American Water will conduct water main flushing in Noblesville during the next two months.

Safety IAW spokesman Joe Loughmiller said water mains in the downtown area were to be flushed overnight on April 6 and 7. Flushing for the remainder of the system will take place on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning April 8 and continuing through May 30.

“The company conducts the annual maintenance program to assure high-quality water service and to ensure fire hydrants are operational,” Loughmiller said.

Loughmiller said no interruptions in water service are anticipated as a result of the work, but residents may experience a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration while this program is under way. Customers should

www.currentnoblesville.com

refrain from doing laundry during the time of day the flushing program is taking place in or near their neighborhood.

If tap water is discolored, IAW recommends allowing several cold-water faucets to run for a short time until the water runs clear. Using more than one faucet allows the water to clear more quickly.

“Water main and fire hydrant flushing is an important part of a regular maintenance program for water distribution systems. Indiana American Water consistently meets or exceeds all drinking water standards,” Noblesville Superintendent Neal McKee stated.

Loughmiller said the water main flushing will be performed by IAW crews.

“They will be working out of trucks identified with the company logo. All employees will also have photo ID badges,” he said.

Noblesville writer publishes first book

By Lauren Olsen • news@currentnoblesville.com Creativity, determination and hard work are just some of the ingredients that helped Noblesville resident Kristen Mott publish her first children’s achievement book, “Odie the Stray Kitten.”

Mott, 28, graduated from Indiana University with a degree in journalism in 2008, and she was looking for a way to combine her two loves, writing and animals.

“I always knew I wanted to write chilMott dren’s books,” she said. “Children’s books are the only genre of literature that stay with you for a lifetime; they bring back memories from your childhood.”

One day, last January, inspiration struck when a 15-week-old kitten found its way into the horse stables on Mott’s property.

Being an animal lover, Mott took the stray kitten in and gave it shelter and a warm home.

“The kitten inspired me to write the story,” she said.

“I love the simplicity, the morals and the themes of most children’s books. And I have a bleeding heart for animals and stories about talking animals.”

The story is about a stray kitten that is all alone and

wanders into a barn to get out of the cold. A girl finds the kitten, scared and cold, takes him into her family, and gives him a loving home.

“I hope that this book and the series inspire children to write their own stories and become more aware of animal welfare,” she said.

Mott worked with AuthorHouse, a self-publishing company in Bloomington, to bring her book to life. She also worked with illustrator Lowell Hildebrandt from AuthorHouse to create the images that would help tell her story.

Those partnerships proved so successful that Mott is working with them on her second book that is set to be released this summer, “Odie’s Best Friend” is about Odie growing up and making friends with another cat on the farm.

“I want to turn this into a series about Odie and all of his adventures,” Mott said.

Mott’s book,” Odie the Stray Kitten,” has recently been selected for the Children’s Literary Classics Seal of Approval. CLC is an organization that promotes children’s literature that educates and instills good values in children.

“Odie the Stray Kitten” is available at 4 Kids Books & Toys, 4450 Weston Pointe Dr., Zionsville, or online at www. authorhouse.com and www.amazon.com.

Health Methodist Hospital where he died due to the injuries he sustained during the crash.

Accident reconstructionists from the Noblesville Police Dept. and Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the crash. Field Drive was temporarily closed as investigators collected information and evidence. Barnes said the cause of the crash is under investigation.

Meet Khaled Soofy Age: 25 Birthplace: Chicago Residence: Noblesville Family: Parents, Nora and Ken Kuzel; siblings, Ashley South, Ben Kuzel and Joey Kuzel.

Education: Noblesville High School Class of 2007 and Indiana University (2011)

NHS graduate Khaled Soofy passed on the corporate world to create his own business

Hobbies: Learning, fitness, health and spending time with his girlfriend Quote: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” “I thought it was a cool quote ever since I was young and I’ve always lived by that,” Soofy said.

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Khaled Soofy made the decision in high school to be an entrepreneur.

“I had a mentor, a family cover story friend, who was a serial entrepreneur. Just seeing that aspect of business was intriguing. It’s really hard for me to pin down one thing to do,” he said. I thought entrepreneurship might allow me to do more things than I would be able to do otherwise.”

After graduating from Noblesville High School in 2007, Soofy attended Indiana Univeristy’s Kelley School of Business to study entrepreneurship, operations management and economics.

After graduating in 2011, Soofy decided to take a different approach than his classmates.

“My heart wasn’t there. This wasn’t the path I wanted to go on,” he said about interviewing and the prospects of the corporate world.

During the spring semester of his senior year, Soofy’s biological father, Khalil Soofy, reached out to him for the first time since he was 2.

“He got in touch with me. I thought I might travel around the world and maybe go visit him (after graduation),” he said. “I ended up getting interested in herbal tea and learning about it and decided this could be a business.”

The sacrifice

Soofy said he knows his life is “a lot different” than those of his classmates.

“I have friends from high school and college I have not seen a lot in the last two years,” he said. “Their lives are different. Three-quarters are in the workforce and some are making pretty good money. I’m living life as cheaply as possible.

I have a much different lifestyle. They have a guaranteed income coming in, where I don’t.”

Soofy said he works 12 to 18 hours a day, seven days a week to create his business.

“There is a tremendous amount to learn – reg-

istering a company, taxes, patents, legal aspects.

I was self-educated with a lot of trial and error,” he said. “It (school) prepares you a little. I don’t think anything can prepare you for it.”

When Soofy first started his project he created a checklist, not knowing it would become as extensive as it did.

“Each item was an entire new project – new skills, new knowledge to check that item off,” he said. “When you are an entrepreneur you don’t refine one skill, you work on many.”

Creating Athena BioNutrix and its naturally brewed, ready-to-drink herbal tea, Yújiáā, was Soofy’s fulltime job. In addition to his parents’ support, he had investors to support his dream.

“If I would have known how in depth this product would have been in the beginning I probably would have started with something simpler,” he said. “I didn’t ever give up on it, but it was definitely tough.”

Putting in the time

Soofy began learning martial arts at the age of

5. His mother, Nora Kuzel, wanted him to be able to defend himself while living in Chicago. The lesson soon turned into a passion as Soofy continued his training and became a third-degree black belt.

“It snowballed into a way I lived my life. A big part of martial arts is mental, physical and spiritual health and I always found these important.”

Soofy studied research papers to better understand the science of herbs used in other cultures.

“I took the best herbs for you and put them all together. Some herbs we don’t eat in our diets because they taste bad. I had to find the balance between palatability and the benefits of the herbs,” he said. “Ginkgo biloba tastes awful but it’s really good for you.”

To ensure Yújiā was different than others available, Soofy dug into market research and consumer trends.

“Past health crazes of products for people wanting to be healthier without the understanding have shifted to people educating themselves and being better informed about their health.

Yújiá, Mandarin for yoga, is an herbal tea infused with prebiotic fiber and all natural vitamins and minerals. Like the regular practice of yoga, this “Liquid Yoga” purports to help provde a healthier life by restoring balance, enhancing energy and promoting longevity with no preservatives and a full range of essential nutrients our bodies are often missing, Yújiá rises above a quick boost to the immune system or a short-lived energy shot. For more information, visit facebook.com/YujiaTea or www.YujiaTea.com.

Health isn’t just a pill or supplement but a lifestyle,” he said. “Health is something you can work on. I want to enjoy the rest of my life better. It improves my life for the long run.”

Kickstarter

After two years of research to perfect the formula, Athena BioNutrix, L.L.C. began its Kickstarter campaign on March 30. Soofy said Kickstarter is an online platform where investors may get in on the gound floor of projects they believe in.

“It builds a community around that project, builds awareness. The hardest part about starting a business (is that) no one knows about you,” he said, adding pledges are not charged until the project is successfully funded.

In just two days of starting the campaign, Soofy has received more than $1,300 in pledges.

The funding assists Soofy with packaging costs since professional bottling companies have large minimum-order requirements.

Soofy said the accomplishment of starting his own company and creating a product didn’t hit him until the first time he went to talk to a store owner.

“They told me, ‘it’s a cool product. I’d like you to let me know when you’re ready to make it because I’d like to put it in my store.’ It went from being a cool possibility to thinking this is going to be a real product,” he said.

Prior to its Kickstarter launch, Soofy has encountered early success as three independent health food stores in Indianapolis – Good Earth, Georgetown Market and Nature’s Market – had agreed to carry his product. He is working to increase the awareness of Yújiā by independent health stores in Chicago and Bloomington “This project helped me sharpen my skills and learn about the whole entrepreneurship process.

My thesis paper just happens to be a business,” he said. “It may not be massive, but it’s going to be something.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

FROM THE EDITOR Tops in the state

Sustainability event all set for April 26 We may not be tree huggers, but we are, indeed, tree lovers. So when news floated across our desks that Sustain Noblesville is coming back with its second edition of Earth Day ArborFest, we decided it was an event worthy of a nod, if not your attention. So, on April 26, it will stage “the Wonders of the Watershed” in an effort to illuminate residents and visitors on trees and Earth and ways to improve and properly care for both. Trees are near and dear to us, and Sustain Noblesville is making available free seedlings as part of the day. Everything gets under way at 9 a.m. in Forest Park (shelters 3 and 5), and will be kicked off by a fundraiser breakfast provided by the Noblesville Sunrisers Kiwanis. In additional, you’ll hear from planting and pruning experts and be able to recycle electronic waste items and shred documents as part of the initiative. Nickel Plate Arts is reprising its Fairyville Trail and other Earth Day week activities, as well. For more information, visit www. nickelplatearts.org.

••• And so the March 31 deadline came and went with much fanfare (cough, cough) for registering for Obamacare. President Barack Obama’s initiative reeled in a whopping seven million registrants. How many healthy, previously insured folks were piped aboard the Good Ship Socialist? How many were previously uninsured? We believe you can make educated guesses at answers. So, then, “If you like your insurance … .“ Travesty.

••• We found it interesting that the federal government actually recruited former NBA stars Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Alonzo Mourning to pitch Obamacare. On our dime, yet. Breathtaking. And we found it pulverizing to our collective intelligence that Vice President Joe Biden (can’t believe we’re using “intelligence and “Biden” in the same sentence) took to no less a platform than the Rachel Ray Show in one last appeal to gain registrants last Monday.

Story-teller, speaker, raconteur Commentary by Terry Anker

These past few days have found us leapfrogging the ancient capitals of Europe on a speaking tour as a part of a responsibility as a member of the board for the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. Among those on the docket were Bucharest, Athens and London (thanks to my colleagues who tolerate Skype and late-night email as the sole paths of communication back home). Each city designated for our little roadshow warrants four or five international guests buttressed by a slightly larger domestic contingent. In a week’s time, one is exposed to many, many speeches; and an array of opinions equally abundant.

Style and content vary widely. Some are entertaining and others deliberately eschew humor and rely only on dry data, imagining, one supposes, that even the remotest jocularity might diminish the gravitas with which their desired message is conveyed. It is notable that others find parable and anecdote to be the most effec-

tive way to reach the assembled audience. The best find balance.

Weaving both cold fact and personal warmth are among the very most effective methods. So how much latitude can one take in making a point before she dances on the edge of veracity?

When is puffery simply the route to efficiency and when does it become deception? The Romanians clung to figures. Each presentation was a study in PowerPoint precision. The Greeks robustly and captivatingly advocated with a near evangelic zeal. While the Brits, ever true to form, employed restraint and erudition to carry the message. It makes me wonder about our American “style.” Do we stray too far from fact when attempting to entertain or do we cling too closely to data and fail to ever make the point?

The fifth-annual County Health Rankings were recently released and it should be no surprise that Hamilton County was named the healthiest in the state – again.

The rankings, which are organized by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, evaluated nearly every county in the nation. It considers 29 factors including, income, employment, physical activity, access to health care and access to healthy foods.

“Health habits start first in the home and are supported through neighborhoods, community coalitions, business, education and government – so, it’s not surprising to see that those counties with the infrastructure to support residents’ health have the most positive health outcomes,” said State Health Commissioner William VanNess, M.D. “These rankings demonstrate that where you live matters.”

In Indiana, Hamilton County ranked first in health outcomes (first in length of life and third in quality of life) and tops in health factors (first in health behaviors, clinical care, and social and economic factors, and 36th in physical environment).

Two of the biggest drivers for poor health outcomes are obesity (22 percent, Hamilton County; 25 percent, top U.S. performers; and 31 percent, Indiana) and tobacco use (12 percent, Hamilton County; 14 percent, top U.S. performers; and 23 percent, Indiana).

The best protective factors include ensuring children are raised in a safe, healthy environment and graduate from high school.

VanNess said everyone has a role in advancing overall health outcomes. At the community level, more trails and recreation programming are offered. Hospitals are expanding their services – (and sometimes buildings – constantly to provide more options for patients. We all know that Hamilton County is on a lot of “best of” lists and in addition to using that to attract businesses and residents, we now have statistic rankings stating it does matter that you live here.

Remember my last column about how my husband Doo has been getting on my nerves with his rising early and going to bed well humor ahead of his normal schedule?

If I hadn’t hit my obscenely-low word limit (a travesty, in my opinion; greatness cannot be expressed in a mere 450 words!), I would have regaled you with even more stories of unusual behavior. His attempt to simultaneously participate in P-90X and T-25, two intense at-home fitness programs, for example, is driving me absolutely bonkers! (Of course you’re sore and fatigued, my darling, you just did two hours of plyometrics!) He’s also been having frequent minitantrums over the amount of chauffeuring and carpooling he’s been asked to do. “When is it my time?” he complains as he stomps his feet. “I’m sick of having my life revolve around the kids!” he whines, as he throws his hands into the air. “I’m done!” he hurumphs, as he collapses into the armchair. I’m living with a 5-year old Jack LaLanne!

Luckily, we’ve finally diagnosed the problem. My beloved spouse is going through . . .

Man-opause. Can you believe it? I wasn’t sure exactly what Man-opause was, so I looked it up.

Here’s what I found. “Man-opause is a serious, non-life threating condition that typically afflicts men in their forties. Sufferers usually experience discontentment with the status-quo, anxiety over the demands of middle-age, and an intense

desire to buy a Porsche. Other symptoms may include planning vacations to tropical locations, picking fights with the wife over her awesome basketball team, and a sincere belief that wine is a recovery drink.” Yep, that’s my Doo. I read on.

“Though incurable, symptoms of Man-opause can be alleviated by a periodic venting of emotion and lots of there-theres from the spouse.

Do not, however, under any circumstances, point out the immature or selfish behavior to said sufferer. This technique is a scam cooked up by Hollywood producers and pharmaceutical companies to incite panic in suburbia. Instead, try a more holistic approach. Though not yet approved by the FDA for use on male adults, one promising procedure has its roots in a technique used with tantrum-throwing toddlers: Parents of small children simply step over the child and walk away.

Initial trials with Manopausal men using a similar approach are encouraging. Acknowledgement of his concerns demonstrate love, while time alone allows for thoughtful reflection and regrouping.”

I can do that!

There is a chance that Doo will outgrow his Man-opause, but regardless, at least now we have answers. Life can return to normal! Peace out.

World-famous violin player coming to Palladium stage

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com An almost freakish incident of two broken strings in the course of one concert performance gave Midori a flash of acclaim in her early teens. music In 1986, Leonard Bernstein was conducting her at the Tanglewood Festival as soloist in his “Serenade” when she had the sudden twin misfortune. Immediately after the initial accident, Midori (she uses only her first name) made the customary turn to the concertmaster in order to continue. That borrowed instrument suffered the same bad luck as the performance proceeded, and the Japanese-born 14-year-old finished it playing on a third violin, again passed on to her by the first-chair first violinist.

What everyone remarked on at the time was her imperturbable elan in bringing off the performance. She won over everyone, including the astonished Bernstein, and the event made the front page of the New York Times. Yet there has been nothing ordinary about her career since, even without the sensationalism that briefly moved her name onto the news pages.

Those distinctions have included establishing several kinds of music-education programs. One of them gives exposure to music and direct training in underserved neighborhoods in Japan and the United States. It serves about 15,000 people annually in New York City. It is no one-off exposure to music, but a 26-week course.

Another venture, established on the basis of the lucrative Avery Fisher Award she won in 2001, is Partners in Performance, which is designed to stimulate interest in classical music in small cities.

Proceeds from concerts by Midori and other eminent artists are used for support of community music organizations.

Then, a decade ago, she established a program to encourage American youth orchestras. Midori has performed with these orchestras and has advocated for them offstage, using her prominence to strengthen their home viability. Several years ago, she took this initiative outside the United States, collaborating with orchestras in Costa Rica, Bulgaria and Peru.

Midori is an accomplished violin player and also the Her core artistry continues into early chair of the strings department at the University of middle age, complete with an academic Southern California. (Submitted photo) anchor. She is entering her third year as professor at the University of Southern California, where she chairs the strings department.

If you want to hear how well Midori applies her technical wizardry to musical insight and understanding, you can’t do better than listen to this Carnegie Hall recital performance of Ravel’s “Tzigane” on YouTube. The pianist is Robert McDonald. She was 18 at the time, and already a veteran of the world’s concert stages, having made her professional debut at 11. The suspenseful energy and seemingly spontaneous rapport between Midori and McDonald are remarkable.

The Carmel Symphony Orchestra will conclude its season with another fun and music very personal performance featuring Carl Orff’s epic tale of fate, “Carmina Burana,” at 7:30 p.m. on April 12 at the Palladium.

One of the highlights of the show will be the vocals sung by the Anderson University Choral Ensembles directed by Rick Sowers.

“Carmina Burana” is considered the singlebiggest audience draw in the classical music repertoire next to Beethoven’s Ninth.

“The opening of Carmina Burana is among the most powerful music ever written,” said Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director David Bowden.

He refers to the piece as a morality tale based on a collection of poetry writings of monks namely about wine, women and song as they relate to the unwavering nature of fate.

Also on the program is Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos, featuring internationally acclaimed pianist, three-time Sagamore of the Wabash recipient and Indiana Historical Society Living Legend, Charles Webb along with his piano partner, Steven Mann of New York.

“This is a really great balance to Carmina Burana because it has this really humorous, perky, sparking rhythm and melody that has a touch of irony in it,” Bowden said.

And Webb is actually a mentor of Bowden’s

Jump rope for fun and fitness Commentary by Kathleen Connelly As a parent and a health professional, I love to see the schools promote activity. My two oldest children attend Hoosier wellness Road Elementary and the past couple of years I have been delighted to see them support the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart Program. It is a program that raises money to help fight against heart disease and supports services offered by the American Heart Association.

Recently, the forms came home with my kids and they are excited to participate again.

This got me thinking about my clients and new ways for them to get active. As adults, jump roping can provide an intense cardiovascular workout. Regular jump roping can improve dynamic balance, coordination, reflexes, bone density and muscular endurance. It also can help increase mental alertness and memory as well has improve spacial awareness and reading skills.

The Jump Rope Institute states that 10 minutes of continual jump roping at 120 RPMs can provide the same benefits as 30 minutes of jogging, 720 yards of swimming and 18 holes of golf. That’s

amazing! A simple childhood activity that we can do right on our own driveway or sidewalk can provide so much good for our health!

Another bonus is it’s an activity that the whole family can do. If you have little ones that can’t jump rope yet, they can play outside or sit in a stroller while you jump rope for 5-10 minutes. If your kids are a little older, make it a family affair and add in a couple days of jump roping during the summer. A new jump rope for each family member is a great way to start the spring season.

Did you know Indianapolis has a jump rope organization? They are called the Indy Air Bears and their website is www.indyairbears.homestead.com. The team is made up of children ranging from 2 years old through college. Just like me, they believe jump roping is a great way to exercise and have lots of fun.

A dream of owning and operating an authentic Tex-Mex restaurant started with two men in Austin, Texas, in 1982. Mike business Young and John Zapp wanted to give back to their communities through delicious food, family fun, and community charity.

Since that day more than 30 years ago, this dream has crossed 13 states, established 47 restaurants and has helped numerous communities.

At its second Indiana location, local businessman Russell Burns heads up the new restaurant at 14150 Town Center Blvd. As owner/operator, Burns and his staff will open their Burns doors for business on April 15.

“The unbelievable flavors are unique to this restaurant and I can’t wait to bring them to all my friends and neighbors,” Burns said.

Tex-Mex is an uncommon style of Mexican food with a Texas twist that is typically only found around the Texas-Mexico border. It combines the Mexican flavors with the southern style of cooking with an emphasis on always serving fresh food.

Burns said the atmosphere of the restaurant matches the colorful food that is served. There are three separate dining rooms each with its own wild theme. For instance, one of the dining rooms at the Noblesville location allows customers to kick back surrounded by hubcaps. Each Chuy’s restaurant is decorated differently and

Chuy’s

• Where: 14150 Town Center Blvd.

• Type: Mexican with a blend of southern American • When: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Closed Sunday.

• Offers: Takeout, catering, casual attire, waiter service • Website: www.chuys.com

has a personality of its own. This concept was the origin of their No. 1 phrase, “If you’ve seen one Chuy’s, you’ve seen one Chuy’s!”

There is a story to every decoration that Chuy’s features and the staff is excited to share them with their customers. Distributed throughout the restaurant are giant metal palm trees and hand painted tiles, traditionally seen in Mexico homes and churches.

This restaurant also has a unique approach with its presence in the community. They are just as concerned with their community and its well being as they are with serving up delicious food.

“We are dedicated to our customers and at the same time giving back to the community,” Burns said.

There are several charitable ideas already planned for when the restaurant opens including partnering with Community Works food pantry and Prevail. Burns said they have already started their charitable activities with a photo shoot for dogs with the profits benefiting Every Dog Counts Rescue.

Giving ‘short shrift’ its proper due Commentary by Jordan Fischer

As Joy accurately mentioned, the phrase derives from an archaic word which is itself no longer used – “shrift” – meaning a confession or absolution given by a priest. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, the phrase “short shrift” came about meaning a “brief penance given to a person condemned to death so that absolution could be granted before execution.”

While “shrift” has more or less died off as a word on its own, the phrase “short shrift” has lived on with a decidedly less morbid meaning.

So, never fear, older siblings of the world: We can continue ignoring the younger ones without portending their imminent demise!

Question: “Dear Jordan, did you perhaps mean ‘short shrift’ [in your column]? I enjoy your column. English was one grammar guy of my favorite subjects to teach.” (Marcia Lehrman) Answer: Oh, I do love you, dear readers, especially when you teach me new things (and find polite ways to say, “Uh, Jordan, I think you’re wrong here”).

A few weeks ago I used the phrase “short thrift” in a column. It seems the phrase is in fact “short shrift,” and I’ve been using it wrong for all these years. I’m pretty sure I still sing “Stairway to Heaven” wrong too, though, so it’s in good company.

The phrase I wanted, “short shrift,” means “little or no attention or thought” – as in, “I gave my younger brother short shrift when we were kids.”

SPRING SPECIAL! GARDENING • LANDSCAPING • MAINTENANCE • LAWN

Past, present meet in Shipshewana Commentary by Don Knebel Shipshewana is the only Indiana entry in “1,000 Places to See Before you Die.” Each year more than one million visitors travel come to this self-described “Town of Character,” located about 25 miles east of Elkhart, to see how its Amish residents manage to lead such simple lives amid twenty-first century complexity.

The Amish, like the Mennonites, are spiritual descendants of the Anabaptists, European Christians who rejected the idea of infant baptism and persecuted for their beliefs. They separated from the Mennonites in 1693 when their founder, Jakob Ammann, decided Mennonites were too accommodating of a sinful world. The Amish came to Pennsylvania in the early eighteenth century seeking religious freedom and later came to Ohio and Indiana seeking farmland for their children.

The Amish past is chronicled in the Menno-Hof Museum just south of Shipshewana’s only traffic light. The Amish present can be learned from a ride through the countryside in a horse drawn Amish buggy guided by a retired farmer. The drivers, who speak a German dialect at home, are willing to answer any questions put to them

by the “English,” their name for outsiders. As the drivers will explain, the Amish do not avoid all modern conveniences, but only ones that their local Ordnung decides make life too comfortable.

So an Amish family may use a powered lawn mower so long as it is not self propelled or a tractor so long as it does not have rubber tires.

A harness factory may use tools powered by compressed air but not by electricity. Most Amish will ride in an automobile owned by others but will not own one themselves. The Amish want to be reminded constantly of their separation from society and their need to trust God and each other.

Not all the goods in Shipshewana’s 100 shops are made locally and the food in its popular restaurants is predictable. However, the unique appeal of Shipshewana does not come from its merchandise or its food. It comes from residents willing to share their lives of piety and simplicity with people from a world too often lacking both.

Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit currentzionsville.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com

Redesign your kitchen on a budget Commentary by David Decker The kitchen is often considered the headquarters of the modern home. And since it fulfills so many roles in the home, it’s no indoors wonder that so many people want to show off a modern and updated kitchen. The good news is, a few simple design changes can completely reinvent the look of the room. Here are five quick and easy ways to update your kitchen without breaking the bank.

New hardware: You don’t need to order entirely new cabinetry to change the look of your kitchen cabinets. Instead, try swapping out your existing hardware and drawer pulls for new ones. You’ll be amazed at the difference new hardware can make on the overall look of the room.

Lighting: Lighting is an essential decorative element, especially in the home. Proper lighting makes color more vibrant, while drastically affecting the energy of the room. Softer lighting will create a more elegant feel while bright lighting will make the room cheerful and inviting. You could even install dimmer switches to adjust the lighting depending on your activity or mood. And of course, the lighting fixtures themselves are an important decorative element. Replace your old sconces or hanging fixtures with new ones that feature a different style. Make sure all of the lighting fixtures fit together cohesively to tie

Instead of purchasing entirely new cabinetry to change the look of your kitchen cabinets, try swapping out your existing hardware and drawer pulls for new ones. (Submitted photo)

everything together into a complete look.

New flooring: Gone are the days of standardized laminate or hardwood. Today, kitchen flooring can be found in a vast array of materials, colors, shapes and sizes. Shop around to find a material and price that fits your budget.

A fresh coat of paint: Whether you are using it on your walls, ceiling or refinished cabinetry, a

fresh coat of paint can completely transform the look of a room. Try a new color scheme that you can mix and match with new decorative items.

New décor: There’s no reason to make sweeping décor changes. Start with the basics, such as a new table or chairs set. Decide whether your curtains, blinds and window decorations could benefit from an update. If you are redesigning on a tight budget, focus on the small details. Try changing out small details, such as display dishes, framed pictures or potted plants to make a big difference in the overall look of the room.

A kitchen redesign project can be as extensive as you make it. If you are unsure of where to start, I’d suggest begin by cleaning out the entire room and donating the items you no longer use.

A clean and organized room is the ideal blank canvas to start your redesign project. You may also want to look into storage options to organize any remaining objects. After everything is neat and tidy, the redesign process can really begin. And by now you’ve seen for yourself that a tight budget doesn’t have to keep you from creating a vibrant and user-friendly kitchen space.

“You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public.”

“Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly.

You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public, and we will definitely use its services again."

three to four thousand shows, which still cannot compare to what I saw tonight!”

It’s just fabulous!”
