Westfield Mayor warns of repercussions if city breaks agreement with INDOT to widen Ind. 32

Council members voiced concern Several years ago, Cook proposed about the cost of the project to for the city and INDOT to partner on Cook widen Ind. 32 to four lanes, a price the project so that the city could that won’t be fully known until bids are acbegin developing. cepted. The council, which has five different “The development was coming to our members from when the then-estimated downtown,” Cook said. “I couldn’t really $15 million project was approved in 2018, is wait another eight to 10 years. I proposed set to reconsider an interlocal agreement we split the cost and that the City of between the city and INDOT outlining terms Westfield will manage the project, and the of the project at its April 12 meeting. state of Indiana will do the land acquisition Council President Mike Johns said his process and the city will manage the conmain concerns are the financial aspect and struction and design, and therefore we have creating a walkable city.

Instead, Johns hopes the city can agree Cook said the entire portion of the Ind. 32 to a road diet, which is a boulevard with project Westfield was responsible for would one lane and a bike path. be completely funded with cash saved from Cook said it’s impossible to know the the city’s road impact fees and that no debt true cost of a project until bids open. would be acquired. He said the downtown “Sometimes they’re over, and sometimes Westfield segment of Ind. 32 sees 17,000 they’re under,” Cook said. “We’ve been sucvehicles a day. cessful with our roadway projects (in) that “By next year, the entire segment will be many of our projects come in under budget, rated from standard INDOT mobility stanlike East Street, which was $900,000 under dards as an F,” Cook said. “The traffic, espethe estimate.” cially in the afternoon, backs up from Union

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

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 continues and never will change.

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

Street west clear to the Poplar Street roundabout, and similarly, it backs up to the east.”

Additional concerns In addition to the main concern of not improving the roadway if the council decides to break the interlocal agreement, Cook said there would be many other indirect impacts of breaching the contract with INDOT. The city would owe all the INDOT expenses that have occurred to date, which are approximately $450,000. The city also has incurred $1 million of its own engineering costs.

Cook said that in 2028, INDOT plans to add lanes to Ind. 32 from East Street in Westfield east to Noblesville, which is figured into INDOT’s plans and would be 100 percent funded by INDOT. However, that wouldn’t happen if the Ind. 32 widening in downtown Westfield doesn’t happen.

“INDOT has stated that if Westfield fails to widen our downtown, INDOT will cancel the additional lane project to Noblesville, because it makes no sense to have four lanes to the west and four lanes to the east and an existing pinch point in the middle,” Cook said.

However, Johns said he feels like the city is using INDOT as a threat instead of the concerns being true concerns.

“It was almost like the administration was using INDOT as a threat to say if we decided to have a boulevard through the heart of the town, that INDOT would suddenly refuse to allow us to put a roundabout at East Street, which prevents us from widening Jersey Street, which are both absolutely critical to building the city infrastructure to sustain the growth that’s coming to the downtown area,” Johns said. “So, at the end of the day, we decided that the administration would arrange a meeting with INDOT so I could ask them specifically that question.”

Johns said the meeting was supposed to be scheduled prior to the April 12 council meeting, but as of press time, Current was unable to confirm if the meeting with INDOT was scheduled. 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.

it’s in a facility that’s state-of-the-art,” said Director of Marketing Max Williams, a Fishers resident.

“This place represents, for me, personally, over a decade of blood, sweat and tears trying to create a place where animals can go temporarily that celebrates their life and would be a destination for families to want to visit because it’s full of life and happiness,” Stevens said.

When Stevens joined the HSHC 16 years ago, its facility was on the campus of the Hamilton County Jail and had been in Noblesville, at various locations, for 36 years.

Stevens often thought about what she would add if she could help design her own animal welfare facility, such as exercise space and a fully developed veterinary clinic with its own operating table and X-ray machine.

The new facility has each of those amenities.

“This place is probably going to be my legacy and why I was put on this earth, to create a brighter future for these animals,” Stevens said. “Not just in Hamilton County, but from outside this county, too.”

During the COVID pandemic, the HSHC has seen a nearly 400 percent increase in adoptions. But there has already been an uptick in surrenders, whereby people drop off an animal at the facility. The Humane Society’s initial effort is to encourage and try to help the pet owner retain their animal.

But animals are always arriving. It is the hope of Stevens that all of Hamilton County might visit and see the new place, and maybe discover a new member to the family in the process.

The Hamilton County Invasives Partnership recently kicked off its 2021 series of Weed Wrangle events, with the next one set for April 22 at Cool Creek OUTDOORS Park in Westfield.

Many of the organization’s previous stewardship programs have focused on plantings and other projects, but this year it will focus on the Weed Wrangle initiative.

Weed Wrangle, a program that launched in Tennessee, is designed to encourage volunteers to help eradicate invasive species

in public parks and at private residences.

Claire Lane, urban conservationist at Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, said the initiative is “an opportunity for volunteers to get out and learn about invasive species and to also help improve a natural area.”

Lane said invasive species are a serious problem across Hamilton County and, without action, pose a large threat to natural areas.

Examples of invasive species are Asian bush honeysuckle and garlic mustard.

Aspire Indiana Health to expand Noblesville office, renovate space

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Aspire Indiana Health aims to provide health care for the entire family, and with a $6.9 million facility expansion under way, it expects to be better positioned to accomplish that task.

Aspire is a Federally Qualified Health Center that provides primary care, behavioral health services, substance-use disorder services and mental health services.

“We also provide social services, such as housing, employment, financial and legal assistance,” Aspire Indiana Health President and CEO Barbara Scott said. “We do all of those things for the residents of Hamilton County.”

Aspire recently broke ground on an expansion to its Noblesville office at 17840 Cumberland Rd. “The Noblesville office is our fastest-growing, largest operation in our entire region, and we serve Boone, Hamilton, Madison and Marion counties,” Scott said. “Because of that volume growth and our integrated model, we just needed more space.”

Aspire also has an office in Carmel at 697 Pro-Med Lane.

The expansion will double the office’s 15,000-square-foot footprint, and the project includes upgrades to the existing building.

“In the new space, that’s going to be primarily our primary care space, so we will have exam rooms and we also will have what we call consultation rooms, so individuals who are receiving primary care and behavioral health can have a place to go to receive behavioral health services,” Scott said. “In our existing space, we are building out the group rooms. A lot of substance abuse disorder treatment is in that facility, and one of the best ways to provide that treatment is in groups so people going through addiction treatment have peers to hold each other accountable as well as support one another.”

Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said with mental health being one of his focuses as mayor, the city is excited to move forward with Aspire.

“Mental health is one of our pillars here in Noblesville and Aspire has been a partner with the city and will continue to be a partner moving forward,” Jensen said. “We look forward to watching Aspire continue to grow

in our community and offer vital health and well-being services to our residents.”

The design for the building expansion took two years to complete.

“There are no integrated primary care and behavioral health facilities that are a template for this,” Scott said. “This is an innova-

tive model, and then COVID hit, and we realized many behavioral health services can be done through telehealth. Unfortunately, not all people we serve have their financial and housing needs met, and they just don’t have devices or connectivity to benefit from telehealth, so we actually built telehealth

NO DISRUPTIONS Although Aspire Indiana Health is constructing a new building and renovating its space at 17840 Cumberland Rd., Noblesville, it still will be able to provide service to those in need during the construction.

“Luckily because of the space we have today, we will phase the building so operations will continue in that facility and shouldn’t be disrupted,” Aspire Indiana Health President and CEO Barbara Scott said.

Scott said the COVID-19 pandemic has increased depression, anxiety and substance-use disorders.

“COVID has been very, very hard on the people in our community,” she said.

Aspire Indiana Health also provides home and community-based services.

“We have individuals that their level of care is they may need more than just coming in for therapy or coming in for primary care,” Scott said. “We are able to go into their home to help with life skills like budgeting and parenting, and we are able to help them with seeking employment. We can help provide housing opportunities for them, so we do a lot of support out in the community.”

rooms where individuals who do not have access to a device or internet can come to the facility and the provider might be in a different location. So, we actually will have telehealth rooms called technology-assisted therapy rooms.”

Aspire Indiana Health broke ground on the expansion last month. Construction is expected to be complete in spring 2022.

Scott said Aspire Indiana Health is open to anyone.

“We serve all walks of life,” she said. “So, we do serve individuals who have commercial insurance and are working, but we also serve individuals who may be unemployed who do not have insurance. We have a sliding scale fee, so we charge what people can afford all the way down to if they are unable to pay. The other thing we are able to do with individuals is connect them to resources and benefits.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Of sound mind and body

Recalling the best spring break ever

Commentary by Terry Anker Why can’t life be easy all the time?

Would it be so difficult to remove our difficulties? For many of us, such questions resonate, especially these days.

Things that used to be very simple can now be abundantly complicated. Do we shake hands anymore? Or, is it best to deploy a fist bump, elbow bang or nod across the room to acknowledge a kind greeting from a friend? Even from those many things we might keep after the pandemic is officially pronounced no longer a threat, most of us are struggling to make sense of the new social order. For some, it may be — or seem — irreversibly life damaging. For many, it will be an inconvenience for a while.

At least we have our health, right?

The cliché, like many others, makes a good point. Anyone who has ever endured a toothache will tell you that all is well until the pain starts. Then, within hours, nothing else matters. Time stops until the anguish is alleviated. Birthday parties, long-planned trips, big presentations at work — all are set aside in the increasing wave of sensory-induced focus. No matter the cost, we’ll do anything to make it relent! Our previous worries have faded into some fistclenched negotiation with God — make the pain recede and we promise to be good and stop tormenting our brother, complaining about the job, or watching too much television news.

Then, modern medicine rescues the tooth — equilibrium is ultimately restored. How long do we hold our promised repentance? With the sharp and shooting agony alleviated, our attention returns to the annoyances of the daily ritual. Is the corporal sufficient? Does mental anguish count? Maybe the saying should be redrafted to proclaim, “At least we have our physical and mental health.”

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”

— WALT DISNEY

POLICIES Letters to the editor: Current Publishing will consider verifiable letters of up to 150 words.

Letters must be thoroughly vetted prior to submission. Current retains the right to reject or return any letter it deems to carry unsubstantiated content. Current also retains the right to edit letters, but not their intent. Send letters to info@youarecurrent.com. Writers must include a hometown and a daytime phone number for verification. Guest columns: The policy for guest columns is the same as the aforementioned, but the allowable length is 240 words.

Guest columns should address the whole of Current’s readership, not simply special-interest groups, and may not in any way contain a commercial message.

I met my husband Doo 31 years ago this month. We were seniors in high school who happened to be spring breaking in the same small island town in the Bahamas. I had a rich best friend with a timeshare, and Doo had a family connection through an uncle. He was tall and skinny, with an impressive mullet (Doo, not the uncle), and for me, at least, it was love at first sight.

Surprisingly, he called a few days after we were back stateside to invite me to visit. We married six years later, and the rest, of course, is Wilson history.

It’s a great story, right? Spring break fling-turned-matrimonial bliss? With our own children now around the age we met, I can’t help but think how crazy it all was. For starters, my parents let me travel internationally to a place where the drinking age was 18, essentially unchaperoned (there was a designated adult there, but she wasn’t either of our mothers and drank more than we did).

And then to fall for a boy who lived only two hours north, and like me, heading to Colorado for college? What were the odds?

I believe it was fate. And so, when I give my annual spring break talk to my students about making good choices, I do in fact spend some time on vacation romance. “Be prepared for one of two eventualities!” I warn. “Heartbreak is the more likely, but you might also land at the spectrum’s other end: Three decades of marriage with a guy whose once enviable mullet has been replaced by an immaculately bald dome.”

Peace out.

READERS’ VIEWS

LWVHC educates on Senate Bill 353 Editor: The League of Women Voters of Hamilton County would like to alert residents to a bill in the General Assembly that would limit the voting process.

Specifically, this bill, SB 353: 1. Prohibits the Indiana election commission from: Instituting, increasing or expanding vote by mail or absentee vote by mail; and changing the time, place, or manner of holding an election. This language limits the commission’s ability to serve and protect Indiana voters’ rights.

2. Requires an applicant for an absentee ballot application to include the driver’s license number or last four digits of the individual’s Social Security number. Current processes already preclude an unregistered voter from receiving an absentee ballot. The bill adds unwarranted steps to the absentee ballot application, complicating the work of county clerks, increasing chances for error and potentially

violating the Voting Rights Act. It adds nothing to election security or integrity.

3. Prohibits the governor from changing, during a declared disaster emergency, the time, place or manner of holding an election, including instituting, increasing or expanding vote by mail or absentee vote by mail. Such restriction will create unnecessary hardships for voters in times of crisis and serve to disenfranchise voters. Voting is a fundamental citizen right that must be guaranteed. This long-standing league position is based on study and consensus within our organization over a century of working for voting rights for all Americans.

Please let your state representatives and senators know how you feel about this bill.

‘Mallard Fillmore’ a refreshing surprise Editor: What a refreshing surprise to see “Mallard Fillmore” in the latest copy of Current in Carmel! It may just be a hint of the conservative side of things, but a boatload more than what’s in the Star. Thank you for giving us a voice.

Unpleasantly surprised to see me?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie People always act surprised to see me.

Not happy to see me — just surprised. I remember walking home from HUMOR elementary school and coming in the door about 3 p.m. My mother would say, “Are you home already?”

I must have lived closer to school than I thought.

When I was on TV every morning, people who saw me at the supermarket seemed shocked. “Dick Wolfsie! What are you doing here?” I had a list of answers that began with eggs, bread and 2 percent milk.

The staff at my dentist’s office was stunned to see me the other day, but I can’t figure out why. True, I had not been to the dentist in a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but I made an appointment in January for late March, assuming I would be vaccinated by then.

Ten minutes after I made that appointment, I got a text asking me to confirm the date.

Then, two weeks ago came a postcard in the mail reminding me that at 2 p.m. on March 31, I was to see Dr. James about my pearly off-whites. Then a few days before the ap-

pointment date, I received an email and a text, all not-so-subtle hints to be sure I arrived at my scheduled time. I also got a message on my answering machine that morning: “Hi, this is Dr. James’ office. We are confirming your appointment. Could you call us back and let us know you got this message?”

A few days before the appointment date, I received an email and a text, all not-so-subtle hints to be sure I arrived at my scheduled time.

– DICK WOLFSIE When I returned the call, I got their answering machine: “Hi, this is Dick Wolfsie and I can’t wait to see all of you again.

Could you please call me back to confirm that you got my message confirming that I will be there? If I don’t hear from you, I’m not going to bother driving all the way over there.”

When they called back, I wasn’t home, so they left a message: “Dick, this is Dr. James’

office. Yes, we expect you. Please confirm you got this message, which confirms we received your last message, confirming you will be here. We can’t wait to dig away at the plaque.”

This could have gone on indefinitely, so I decided to just show up. I walked into the office, sat down and started flipping through pamphlets featuring horrifying photos of gum disease.

The receptionist finally noticed me: “Oh, if it isn’t Dick Wolfsie! What a nice surprise!

Are you on today’s schedule?”

Right after my dental appointment, I checked my phone and there was already a text message from Dr. James’ office confirming my next appointment … for August.

When I got back home, I opened the front door and there was Mary Ellen: “Oh, it’s you,” she said.

After 42 years, there are no surprises.

INFO: InternationalTalentAcademy.org/events

Fishers resident Judy Schwuchow has lived with an atrial septal defect, which is a hole between the two CARDIOLOGY upper chambers of her heart, all her life.

ASD is typically a defect in which people do not experience symptoms, but in 2018, that wasn’t the case for Schwuchow, as she began to experience shortness of breath and had trouble walking short distances.

“I didn’t know I had ASD until I was 31 years old,” said Schwuchow, now 71. “I had gone in for some pre-op testing for a minor surgery, and they heard a heart murmur and sent me to a hospital for an angiogram.

That’s how they found out I was born with a hole in my heart.”

Schwuchow didn’t notice any issues with her health until she had a bicycle accident a few years ago.

“It seemed like one thing set off another thing with my heart, and I was having trouble breathing,” Schwuchow said.

Schwuchow recently had a non-invasive surgery to fix the hole in her heart. Although the defect isn’t rare, it is uncommon for an adult to have the surgery.

“Now they know to check babies when they’re born, and this surgery is mainly done on small children and not so many adults, so I feel like I was one of the fortunate ones,” Schwuchow said. “I’m just thankful they were able to perform that procedure on me.”

IU Health Cardiology Medical Director Dr. Nathan Lambert of Noblesville said that in the past, correcting an ASD meant openheart surgery, but that’s no longer the case.

“Now they are often treated with catheters in the catheterization laboratory, a significantly less invasive approach,” Lambert said. “Large ASDs often present in childhood and require treatment then. One of the unusual aspects of Judy’s case is that her ASD didn’t cause symptoms until later in life in

adulthood.”

During the surgery, an adult congenital cardiologist performs the procedure in the catheterization laboratory. IU Health Adult Congenital Cardiology Specialist Dr. Georges Ephrem performed the procedure on Schwuchow. He inserted a catheter into her heart with a device called an Amplatzer ASD Occluder attached to the catheter.

When positioned across the ASD, the device is secured in place and released from the catheter, closing the hole.

“I did (physical activities) before, then all of the sudden I could no longer do them, and now I can do all of that again,” Schwuchow said. “Walking, riding my bike, hiking — I always have had a lot of energy, and then when I didn’t have a lot of energy, I knew something was wrong. It was trying to find out what it was, and now I’m right back to where I was. Lots of energy, still able to do all the things I love doing, just keeping busy and very active.”

DISPATCH Improve your focus — Do you have more trouble concentrating than you used to? Studies show that our attention spans are declining, largely due to the use of technology. We feel we have to respond to every text, alert and call immediately. Instead, try putting the phone on “do not disturb” mode for a few minutes when you need to focus on something else. You may find it easier to concentrate and you probably won’t miss anything truly important.

DISPATCHES Stocks benefit from cancer test breakthroughs -- Amid the race to develop coronavirus tests, vaccines and treatments, many investors might overlook another realm of impressive medical breakthroughs.

Molecular diagnostic firms are developing innovative blood tests that can detect many forms of cancer, some even at the earliest stages before cancerous cells mass together. In the past five years, genomic blood testing has become a $6 billion-a-year market, mostly driven by tests such as “liquid biopsies” that allow patients with potentially cancerous tumors to avoid expensive and invasive surgery to remove sample tissue.

Over the next decade, the diagnostics market is expected to soar to more than $50 billion annually as companies develop early-detection tests to screen asymptomatic patients for cancers.

Three promising companies are: Exact Sciences (EXAS) had nearly $900 million in total revenues last year, mostly from two products -- Cologuard, an alternative to colonoscopies that screens stool samples for colon cancer, and Oncotype Dx, a genomic test that can predict which women with early-stage breast cancer will not benefit from chemotherapy.

Guardant Health (GH) makes liquid biopsy kits that test for mutations in the tumors of advanced cancer patients to enable proper

therapy selection.

Natera (NTRA) tests monitor for relapses in breast and lung cancer and can identify recurrent tumors months before traditional methods such as CT scans. The company also is expanding its blood-test technology to predict whether organ-transplant recipients are likely to reject a new organ.

Cavin enjoys success as writer, filmmaker

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Quinn Cavin started acting classes with his mother when he was younger, mostly because he was bored with FILM school.

“She’s always been very supportive of my desire to act and create stories,” Cavin said. “She took me to acting class when I was younger. What motivated me to be an actor is I had this idea that actors didn’t need to go to school. I really didn’t like to go to school as a kid, so I tried to convince her to let me stay home and be homeschooled because I didn’t need to go to school because I was going to be an actor.

“Luckily, she encouraged me to stay in school.”

Cavin graduated in the top 10 of his class academically at Mooresville High School. Cavin, who turns 24 April 16, graduated from Wabash College in 2019 with a double major in psychology and theater.

An honors student, he was selected to give one of the two student commencement addresses at Wabash.

Cavin performed in school plays in high school and in college.

“I’m glad I didn’t quit,” Cavin joked about school.

His parents, Curt and Becky Cavin, moved to Noblesville when Quinn started college and now live in Westfield. Curt is a former Indianapolis Star sports writer who now works for IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Cavin, who now lives in Burbank, Calif., moved to New York after graduating from college. He quickly found success as he made a short film called “The Dine-andDash Dater” with another Wabash graduate, Ryan Cairns, shortly after moving to New York.

“It’s based on a real-life news article that Ryan had shown me, ‘The dine-anddash dater,’” Cavin said. “This guy had been going on hundreds of dates on dating apps. He’d show up to dinner early, order an entrée and then order another entrée with his date, take another to go and just slip out the back door. All the

women put the pieces together that this was the same guy. The story went on even after we finished the film. But he was finally arrested and charged with the felony with the sheer numbers of bills he’s skipped out on paying.

“I thought the story was a funny real-life thing and we kind of adapted that to a fun movie to make.”

Cavin wrote and directed the film with Cairns. Cavin’s girlfriend, Mafalda Pinto Correia, from Portugal, portrays the main character since the story is told from the perspective of the girl who is left from dinner. They set up a sting to catch him.

While in college, Cavin took a semester off, from January to July in 2018, to study in New York City, winning a scholarship to study at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. He met several actors, including his girlfriend, who he used for the film. They were in an acting class together.

The short film was completed at the end of 2019 and won the Best of Fest at the 2020 Strasberg Film Festival in February 2020. It was nominated in several categories.

“It was in a handful of virtual festivals,” Cavin said.

Cavin said because of the short film success, they decided to produce a series called “CherryBomb,” with Corriera as the lead and co-creator.

“We took the core characters that are in ‘The Dine-and-Dash Dater,’ minus the guy doing the dining and dashing,” Cavin said. “We took the tone of the film and adapted it to be a TV show. The story is about entrepreneurialism and the experience of finding your way in the world as a young adult.”

The six episodes, which were filmed during the summer of 2020, are about 25 minutes each.

“There were obstacles filming in New York during the pandemic,” Cavin said. “It was an ambitious thing for us to do and none of us were sure when we were shooting the first episode that we would make it all the way to six episodes because of the time, energy and money it takes to produce even one of them.”

The series is in post-production, and Cavin hopes to find a streaming home later this year.

Cavin recently took a job as a writer and production coordinator at Echobend Pictures.

ONLINE CLASSES WITH JEANNETTE POMEROY PARSSI (via Zoom)

NickelPlateArts.org Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 110 E. Main St., Carmel What to get: Charleston-style shrimp and grits Price: $17 or $23, depending on size.

Anna’s take: After visiting Juniper on Main for a food review, it is now my favorite restaurant. Like, top restaurant for me, ever.

The little building is on Carmel’s charming Main Street, and the inside is adorable and quaint. The outdoor seating, with the twinkle lights and a soft breeze, makes you feel like you’re on vacation, and the coastal fare enhances the feeling. I sampled several items, all of which blew me away. To start, I tried a sampler platter of the appetizers (which is not on the menu but was made just for me). I tried the fried green tomatoes, which were deliciously crisp on the outside and served with a side of lemon aioli, spiced green tomato jam (reminded me of apple butter) and a bed of arugula. Typically, four to five tomatoes are served per order for $11. I also tried the cornbread basket, which is a warm portion of cornbread served with a delicious sweet butter and a savory pimento cheese spread. Four hunks of cornbread are served per order for $8.50.

The Low Country Crab Cakes were my favorite appetizer. They are two crab cakes the size of tennis balls with a side of lemon aioli and arugula for $16. The flight of deviled eggs is very fun — each egg is different and chef’s choice. The two I tried had smoked sausage and a Coca-Cola barbecue on one and salmon and dill on the other. Five are usually served per order for $10.

Clockwise, from top left, appetizer platter with fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, crab cake and cornbread; grilled salmon with chili lime butter; Forsyth fig salad and Charleston-style shrimp and grits. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

For the main course, the Forsyth fig salad ($16) was bright, tart and sweet with a sweet tea-brined chicken, goat cheese and honey fritters, and an array of fruit and nuts with a side of house-made rosemary fig balsamic dressing. The Charleston-style shrimp and grits ($17 for the lunch portion, $23 for the dinner portion) was a rich bowl full of jumbo shrimp, smoked sausage, caramelized onions and peppers atop a mound of heirloom cheese grits and served in a velvety cream sherry sauce topped with a fried egg. Another favorite main course was the grilled salmon with chili lime butter ($23), served atop a bed of coconut rice with citrus black beans, sweet plantains, asparagus, pickled red onion and cilantro.

To top it off, I had a slice of the hummingbird cake, which I urge you to order, it was so good, and a key lime tart with layers of sponge cake, which was bright and refreshing. Since I write this column every week, I rarely ask for carryout boxes to take leftovers home, but you better believe I asked this time. I was incredibly impressed, to the point that I called my mom as I left the restaurant and told her that we would have to return together and pretend we were on a cruise while dining there.

A cutesy look at pet names Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Western end of Kiel Canal. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of world’s busiest canal Commentary by Don Knebel Germany’s Kiel Canal is the world’s busiest artificial waterway, accommodating more ships than the Suez and TRAVEL Panama Canals combined.

The waters north of Germany are divided into the North and Baltic seas by the Jutland Peninsula, jutting about 270 miles into those waters. Denmark occupies the northern three quarters of the peninsula and the German state of Schleswig-Holstein occupies the southern quarter.

In 1871, Schleswig-Holstein became part of the German Empire, ruled by Kaiser (Emperor) Wilhelm I. With Germany now united, it became important that German commercial and military vessels could go between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea without going around Denmark. As a result, the German government decided to construct a canal near the base of the Jutland Peninsula, running southwest from Kiel to Brunsbüttel, with locks at both ends.

Construction of the canal began in 1887, with 9,000 workers moving 100 million cubic yards of dirt. In 1895, Kaiser Wilhelm II officially opened the 61-mile-long canal, 10 miles

longer than the Panama Canal, and named it the Kaiser Wilhelm Kanal in honor of his grandfather. Using the canal instead of going around the Jutland Peninsula cut the travel distance of ships going between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea by about 450 nautical miles. Between 1907 and 1914, Germany enlarged the canal to accommodate its largest battleships.

Although the Treaty of Versailles opened the canal to international shipping, Adolf Hitler closed it in 1936. The canal was reopened after World War II and renamed the Kiel Canal. The canal is spanned by 11 fixed bridges, each providing at least 138 feet of clearance. The canal can accommodate ships as long as 772 feet and as wide as 106 feet, dimensions excluding the largest container and cruise ships. Despite the limitations, up to 130 ships travel through the Kiel Canal each day.

Remember that episode of “Seinfeld” where Jerry and Sheila (Jerry’s girlfriend for one episode) call each other “schmoopie”? This schmaltzy, GRAMMAR GUY saccharine show of cutesy nicknaming made the rest of the gang sick. Most people remember this episode for the “Soup Nazi” yelling “No soup for you!” I, however, can’t get the baby-talk nicknames out of my mind.

Did you know there’s a term for these pet names? It’s called “hypocorism.” We get the term from the Greek word “hypokorizesthai,” which means “to call by pet names.” In general, the term applies to whenever adults talk like babies, create diminutive nicknames for other words or names, or use another fond term to replace someone’s name. When researching this topic, I found that hypocorisms are all over the place in Australia. Some believe this is because the Aussies are generally welcoming and friendly people, and these sorts of fond nicknames flow naturally out of that interpersonal warmth.

Have you ever noticed people adding “-y” to the end of a word to make it sound cuter? That’s a hypocorism. My daughter (who is 3) calls her blanket a “blanky.” The “blanky” is fuzzy and “comfy.” Of course, the rest of our family follows suit with this kind of talk because it’s just so darn cute.

A “kitten” becomes a “kitty.” “Bird” turns into “birdy.” In the 1920s, the term “chamber pot” gave us the word “potty.” In our family, we’ve gone so far down the hypocorism rabbit hole that koalas have become “koalies.”

Think about when you’re talking to someone dear to you. Instead of saying “Agnes” (if Agnes is the focus of your endearment), you say “honey.” I’m sure you have a dating or married couple who calls each other “babe.” While “babe” is a far cry from “sugar pie” or “honeybunch,” it counts as a form of hypocorism, or as I like to call it, a precious wittle hypycory.
