To our valued readers: We hope you are well and are enjoying the summer!

It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Noblesville, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose.

Current in Noblesville 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 must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail, and a supply of the editions will be made available at these locations each week: • Hamilton East Public Library, 1 Library Plaza.

In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later.

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

Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

Laird Memorial Golf Outing raises funds for police forces

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jake Laird grew up watching “Adam-12,” “Emergency!” and other police-related television shows.

EVENT Laird always envisioned himself being a police officer.

“He never lost his passion for that dream and realized that goal after serving 10 years in the Marines,” his mother Debbie Laird said.

An Indianapolis Police Dept. officer for four years, Laird was killed Aug. 18, 2004, when he and other officers responded to 911 reports of gunfire on the southside of Indianapolis. Laird, 31, was fatally wounded when a bullet hit him high in the chest above his protective vest.

Noblesville residents Debbie and Mike Laird started the Jake Laird Memorial Fund in 2004 to honor their son’s memory. The 17th Annual Jake Laird Memorial Golf Outing is set for 10:30 a.m. Aug. 7 at Pebble Brook Golf Club in Noblesville.

The fund has raised approximately $1 million for police departments in Indiana.

“He would be so happy to know Mike and

Debbie and Mike Laird at the 2018 Jake Laird Memorial Golf Outing. (Submitted photo)

I have been able to help his brothers and sisters in blue,” Debbie said. “For us, this golf outing and the money we raise has enabled us to keep his memory alive. The mission of the fund is to provide financial contributions to law and fire department

agencies for the purchase of new equipment, the institution of new instructional programs or financial assistance to officers and firefighters injured in the line of duty or incurring hardships.”

Although raising money is the primary

Tom Roush Mazda

objective, it is not the only one.

“Another goal that is almost equally important is for everyone in attendance to be able to relax and enjoy themselves on the golf course,” Debbie said. “This has been a difficult year for many people, but this will be a day when all police officers and the community can enjoy time spent together for a good cause.”

Debbie is optimistic about attendance this year.

“Many of the players in this outing have supported Jake’s Foundation by playing in our golf outing for many years,” she said.

“Last year, we had 82 teams of four play in the event, and we are on target for that number again this year. We are also fortunate that despite the effect COVID-19 has had on so many businesses, every sponsor we have had in the last few years has returned again to support us.”

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with opening ceremonies at 10:30 a.m. BMO Harris Bank will provide lunch and Jugs Catering will provide dinner. A large auction and raffle, known for its one-of-a-kind items, will be held during dinner. For more, visit thejakelairdmemorialtourney.org.

Narcan program scheduled

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Health Dept. will conduct a free Narcan education class July 29 in which it also EDUCATION will disperse Narcan to those who request it to have available for a family emergency. The class is available through a grant from the Indiana State Dept. of Health. The Hamilton County Health Dept. has offered the program Ginder for three years.

“The grant lets us provide free Narcan to individuals who feel they need Narcan,” Hamilton County Health Dept. health education specialist Jim Ginder said. “We have a lot of families come to the training who have family members with substance abuse disorders, and we also have a lot of people from the community who want to come to learn about Narcan and opiates and habits just in case they’re ever in a situation where they can help save somebody’s life.”

The class begins at 6 p.m. at the health department, 18030 Foundation Dr., Noblesville. Registration is required.

Ginder said the health department tries to offer the program quarterly. It teaches about opiates, signs and symptoms of overdose, how to dispose of old medication, what opiates do to the body and how to administer Narcan. It also shows how to provide hands-only CPR. “Attendees get a pretty extensive packet of other resources, like treatment and mental health resources,” Ginder said. “I think it’s a great program because with COVID, a lot of people are staying at home and maybe not getting the mental heath support they need, or if they have a substance abuse disorder, they are not able to connect with their support system. We are starting to see more people relapsing because of COVID.” Depending on the number of registrants, each attendee will receive one or two doses of Narcan to administer when needed.

days. The race, which is 3,105 miles, began June 14, featuring more than 250 teams and more than 4,000 runners. “They gave you a cumulative 24 hours to run each day,� Dailey said. “We crossed the line virtually in New York in a little shy of 16 days. We divided it up that each person runs an hour a day. We covered about 198 miles a day.�

Some teams included Olympians and professional runners. “We were lucky to have a complete team from top to bottom,� he said. “Most of the professional athletes had four or five on the team and the rest were filled in with your average noncompetitive runner. We were lucky to have 24 people that took it real seriously.�

That commitment was huge since Dailey said it was a grueling schedule, unlike preparing for a one-weekend marathon or road race. “This is going out and racing for 16 straight days,� he said. “We communicated on strategy. If you wake up and feel bad, you don’t have to run an hour at once, (you can) break it up into 15- minute or 30-minute runs.�

Dailey’s younger brothers, Trent, 39, and Todd, 35, competed, too. Trent lives in Marion while Todd is from Westfield. Most of the runners are originally from Marion.

Meshingomesia is the name of a country club in Marion.

Todd, 35, said most of the runners range in age from 35 to 40.

Anthony Bruns, who grew up in Marion but now lives in Denver, was the No. 1 runner. He led the team with 172 miles. “He was our rock star,� Dailey said.

The youngest runner was Corey Stewart at 26 and the oldest was Matt Byerley at 54.

Both are Noblesville residents. “We had a good range of ages and experience across the board,â€? Dailey said.Â

Pollinate introduces bee colonies to abandoned coal mines in an effort to remediate the environment. (Submitted photo)

Local environmental remediation agency brings beehives to abandoned coal mines

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com As an environmental remediation agency, Fishers-based Land Betterment works to improve distressed rural areas. Its most recent business ACHIEVEMENT venture, Pollinate, provides transitionary occupations in abandoned coal mines by creating beehives in those areas.

“Basically, we all came together from a company perspective and we wanted to make a change and we wanted to help Jensen some of these areas that are overlooked and underserved,” Land Betterment Executive Chairman Mark Jensen said. “They ultimately needed a lot of help, so we created Land Betterment a few years back to do environmental remediation and sustainable development on top of those impacted properties.”

While repairing the land in those areas, Land Betterment staff saw a need to do it more efficiently.

“We saw these impacted properties and the people needed purpose and they needed jobs, so Pollinate was born under the concept that when you go out there to remediate a property, we wanted to do that faster, better and more naturally than what was done by the predecessors,” said Jensen, a Fishers resident. “What we are doing is building out bee colonies with the idea that they are helping pollinate a lot of growth around these reclaimed properties. The beautiful thing about it is it creates jobs in the communities that need them the most, and it helps environmental remediation by returning the earth to a more natural state.”

Each of Land Betterment’s product lines will be connected, and Pollinate aids in one of Land Betterment’s other ventures, Restored. The product is a 100-percent honey-based spirits brand operated through Coal Craft Spirits, a distillery brand operated by Land Betterment.

“They don’t all taste like honey, but they are made from

honey,” Jensen said. “So, we are using honey from all these restored properties we are bringing bee colonies into.”

At each bee colony, two to three individuals will be hired to manage the hives. The entire operation can create up to 90 jobs.

Pollinate is a new company. Its plan is to install bee colonies in 14 locations. The firm will then explore installing more high-tech hives.

“Out of all Land Betterment’s business lines, Pollinate is the least labor intensive,” Jensen said.

Originally, Land betterment officials Taylor planned to make Pollinate a charitable concept, but they knew they had to make money to influence and impact communities.

“There’s so much opportunity for this type of sustainable impact,” Land Betterment President Kirk Taylor said. “Right now, we have five commercialized businesses.”

Taylor, a Westfield resident, said Land Betterment is seeking supporters through crowdfunding.

FARM-TO-BOTTLE CONCEPT Land Betterment’s company Coal Craft Spirits has a full distillery in Jacksonville, Ind. The firm is in negotiations to open a micro-tasting room and micro-distillery in Noblesville. Once negotiations are finalized and the micro-distillery is built, Restored and Coal Craft Spirits products will be offered at the Noblesville location. The tasting room will open under the Restored brand.

“As I mentioned earlier with Land Betterment, we want each existing business line to touch another, and in Jacksonville, we are taking property and growing with a farm-to-bottle concept. We are looking at utilizing all local-based products, and all field-based products like corn, rye and wheat will be grown on our site or in local farms,” Land Betterment executive chairman Mark Jensen said.

Regular discussions between mayor, therapist encourage residents to seek help

Mayor Chris Jensen conducts Zoom meetings with Kristen Boice every other Monday for Mental Health Mondays. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Mayor Chris Jensen decided personal experience was an effective way to encourage Noblesville residents to seek help for mental health issues.

He and licensed therapist and Pathways to Healing Counseling Center founder Kristen Boice started a weekly Zoom discussion in April called Mental Health Mondays. The Zoom call is broadcast on the City of Noblesville’s Facebook Live platform, and approximately 100 residents tune in live each week, with thousands more viewing the information afterward.

“It really started with a suggestion from Kristen,” Jensen said. “We have been talking about the importance of mental health in Noblesville for several years. It was one of the key pillars of focus we ran on to obtain this office, and we know we wanted to have a strong push in mental health in Noblesville.”

Although COVID-19 and the subsequent feelings of fear, depression, anxiety and issues between relationships was the catalyst, Boice and Jensen plan to continue the biweekly Mental Health Mondays indefinitely.

“I was willing to be vulnerable as a leader and talk about my personal experiences around mental health, as a leader in the community and someone with a young family, and it took off,” Jensen said.

Boice said the pandemic has stirred public feelings of depression and anxiety.

“This was a way to come together, to offer support, coping mechanisms, connection and how to work through this challenging time together,” Boice said. “We have hit some really tough topics along the way. We have talked about parenting, racism, anxiety, depression, PTSD. “We’ve talked about social isolation and what that means, and I think what makes it work is, we are trying to make it relatable with personal experience, and I think people like

SPREADING MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS OUTSIDE OF NOBLESVILLE Due to Mayor Chris Jensen’s connections, the Mental Health Monday initiative is spreading outside of Noblesville.

“One of the things I’ve been most encouraged about is it isn’t just a Noblesville thing. I have a sister-in-law in Ohio who tunes in, my mom’s best friend from high school in Texas tunes in,” Jensen said. “The Town of Culver, Ind., has taken our conversations and linked them directly to their Facebook page to share our Mental Health Mondays with their community. I have people come up to me all the time at the store. The stories have really made people feel more comfortable talking about mental health.

“From a government standpoint, if I can be open and honest myself, I think the community reacts appropriately to that.”

that they feel like they can connect to that.”

Jensen said mental health conversations could continue for several years.

“We are going to keep going as long as the community needs it,” he said. “We don’t want this to be a blip on the radar. It’s really about exposing our culture to why this is so important. This is a lifelong commitment.”

Boice said she’s seen patients who’ve said the Mental Health Monday conversations encouraged them to seek therapy on their own.

“We want to change the conversations about mental health and empower the community to know how to handle hard, challenging and difficult emotions, situations and times,” Boice said. “If we can equip the community and bring it to the light, we can help people free themselves from the past and their traumas of the past and their fears.

“I’ve gotten feedback that it’s encouraged people to get the help they’ve been wanting to get, and now they feel safe enough to get the help they want or need.”

Jensen said in March, there was more than a 100 percent increase in suicidal or social emotional 911 calls by Noblesville residents. At Pathways to Healing, Boice has seen an increase in teens struggling with feelings of isolation during the pandemic.

“Throughout generations, the loneliness seems to be one of the major catalysts for people coming in,” she said.

LETTER

Nothing new

‘White Fragility’ worth reading

Commentary by Terry Anker These past few months have been remarkable in a panoply of ways. Among them has been the decided destruction of millions of life-sustaining and hope-providing jobs. Not so remarkable is that it has produced unprecedented growth in wealth and power for others. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, brags of record earnings facilitated by vast lockdowns of the American economy, while, not surprisingly, aggressively supporting elected officials and policies that will restrict lockdown dissent. And to many of those even well-intentioned bureaucrats, the ability to literally control by force the thinking of their fellow Americans is too tempting to overlook. These opportunities don’t come along very often.

One is reminded of the prevailing scientific fact of previous generations, and the use of privilege and power to prevent legitimate challenge to those facts. It was certain and observable that Pluto was a planet, that blood-letting kept balance in the humors, and that the world is, in fact, unequivocally flat. OK. Still, there were some who dared to question: “How do we know for certain? Can’t we just consider alternatives under risk of inquisition?” Study continued and our collective knowledge creaked forward.

For many, a challenge to the accepted and dominant academy is a required part of the scientific process. To others, it is to spread dangerous misinformation, heresy and subversive thought. First, we shame and discredit the offenders. Then, we cause their family harm. Ultimately, if persisting that the earth might be round, they will force us to elimination through detention or worse.

Power abhors dissent, and we like power. When in authority, we work to silence opposition. And when not, we demand that our dissenting voice is heard while marching the streets and crying foul. Even as we talk of a “new” normal, the “old” normal seems abundantly still around.

A writer’s block breakthrough Commentary by Danielle Wilson As I sit pondering possible topics for this week’s column, my children keep cycling through the room, pausing to HUMOR engage in bits of conversation with me. On the one hand, I want to yell at them to leave me alone: Momma is working! But on the other, I love that they still want to chat, even after we’ve spent the last five months basically on top of each other. So, I pause my writing, listen and marvel at the fantastic creatures my husband Doo and I have raised.

First, my 19-year-old twins “stop by.” A boy and a girl, they’ve always been good friends despite their very different personalities. My daughter asks me for help with her summer math class, but in a funny, baby-nerd voice. Her brother is feeding into the bit, asking her science-type questions laced with Minecraft lingo. I have no idea what they’re saying, but I am giggling, nonetheless.

Next up is our youngest. She’s in crisis

mode, trying to decide her career path.

She’s 16. Currently, she’s analyzing the pros and cons of becoming a surgeon versus an ER doctor. With her people skills and years in competitive dance, I’m recommending trauma. It suits everything about her.

Finally, our oldest makes an appearance.

He launches into a passionate tirade on the latest political debacle, this time involving our travesty of a secretary of education. I nod in agreement, feeling the rage burn in my stomach. I shoo him away as soon as he comes up for air. I can’t write while seeing red!

Once again, my amazing offspring have come through. Thanks for the article fodder, kids!

Peace out.

Currently, she’s analyzing the pros and cons of becoming a surgeon versus an ER doctor. With her people skills and years in competitive dance, I’m recommending trauma. It suits everything about her.

Editor, I highly recommend the book “White Fragility.” It explores the reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. For example, white people often compare their immigration story to that of Black people. “My grandparents came here with barely an education and no money, but with hard work they achieved the American Dream.” We wish to believe in the potential of America for all, but such a belief system glosses over the systemic racism of today that began with slavery at our nation’s foundation.

Some people say that the police do not target Black people. We have all seen on video how black men, women and children are treated differently by police.

American values of equity, inclusion and the American Dream are ideals that systemic racism corrupts. At its least, systemic racism removes the ideal of equal opportunities in education, place of residence, career, health care and in the judicial system. At its worst, it is a tear that rips us apart as a people and keeps us separate, defensive and distrustful.

Beth Kurlander, Carmel

Feet need sunscreen, too Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan July is UV Safety Awareness Month, a great time to discuss how you can protect your feet from the sun and find out the best ways to check yourself.

SUMMER Often, consistent sunscreen users neglect the feet, yet bare feet are exposed to the sun’s rays, too. The sun’s UVA and UVB rays can cause skin cancer, especially deadly melanoma which can spread through blood vessels and the lymphatic system. Symptoms can be as subtle as an abnormal-looking mole or freckle found anywhere on the foot, and often go unnoticed without routine foot exams.

The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and the American Academy of Dermatology offer these tips to keep your feet safe this summer: • Select a water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and broad-spectrum coverage that protects from UVA and UVB rays.

• Apply at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.

• Lather up with sunscreen from head to toe — literally — when at the pool or beach. Make sure to apply to both the top and bottom of your feet. Once is not enough! Reapply

at least every two hours and immediately if you are sweating or swimming.

• Avoid sun exposure when it’s strongest, generally between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

• Be aware that water, sand and even snow reflect and intensify UV rays.

• Check your feet and toes regularly for symptoms such as an abnormal-looking mole or freckle anywhere on the foot — even under toenails and on your soles. Look for moles or freckles that change in size or shape. If you notice anything suspicious, promptly schedule an appointment with your podiatrist to have the mark examined.

• Schedule routine exams with your podiatrist so he or she can keep track of suspicious, changing marks.

Early detection and treatment of skin cancer is key and could help save your life.

Art teacher Feeney displays oil paintings

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers Arts Council featured artist Shelley Feeney is no stranger to the city’s arts scene.

ARTIST The Fishers resident will soon begin her 15th year as an eighth-grade art teacher and art department chair at Fall Creek Junior High in Fishers.

Feeney’s paintings will be displayed through Sept.

30 at the The Alcove at Feeney The Art Gallery at City Hall. A reception was held for Feeney July 10, and she sold two of her pieces. Some of the remaining 20-plus paintings are oil on canvas and some are on wood.

Feeney started producing paintings after graduating from Indiana University in 2006. She then received her Master of Arts at Anderson University.

“Then with teaching full-time, I put it a little to the side, but recently I’ve picked it back up again,” she said. “I’ve been doing a lot with texture and using my finger for oil paintings instead of a paint brush.”

She started using her finger more to paint approximately 18 months ago. The paintings on display at The Art Gallery are a mixture of finger and brush.

“I still do a lot of florals, landscapes and nature scenes,” Feeney said. “That’s my main subject matter. I like how I can manipulate the paint and try the different textures and color. I’m really inspired by Vincent van Gogh. He’s my favorite artist.”

Feeney said she has worked with Fishers Arts Gallery President Tom Rich to display her students’ artwork for Black History Month for three years. Rich asked if Feeney wanted to display her own work. She had previously done a couple of events through the Fishers Arts Council.

Feeney exaggerates the use of color and texture through the layering of paint.

“When I see Shelley’s paintings, I get drawn into her art,” Rich said. “In one, I am the bee gathering nectar (‘Morning Bloom’). In another (‘Irises in Bloom’), I feel the breeze as it blows across your face. In

still another (‘Colors of the West’), I feel the heat as I am climbing. This is what she does. She pulls you in.”

During class, she painted a portrait by brush of Harlej, a Fishers Police Dept. K-9 that was shot and killed on duty in November 2019.

“My students like watching the progression of oil painting on canvas come to life,” said Feeney, who is married with three

daughters. “The students enjoyed seeing it start and the textures you can create.”

Feeney gave the portrait to Fishers Police officer Jarred Koopman, Harlej’s handler.

Feeney applied for a Lilly Teachers Creativity grant but did not receive one. She plans to try again in the next application process.

“I was able to study abroad my senior year at IU,” she said. “I was in Venice, Italy, to study printmaking. I kind of focus more on personal work on painting now, so I want to be able to travel Europe by train, capture some photographs and do some plein air paintings of the countryside.”

Born in Cincinnati, Feeney later moved to New Palestine and graduated from high school there. Her paintings can be viewed at fishersartscouncil.org/ art-gallery-exhibit.

COVID-19 has hit the arts industry hard, but it’s not stopping the third annual Indy Shorts International Film Festival presented

by Heartland Film from showcasing 18 programs featuring 128 shorts in the Academy Award-qualifying event.

The entire lineup of short films is available for streaming during the festival week of July 21-26. To provide the true cinematic experience, there also will be four screenings at Tibbs Drive-In Theatre, 480 S. Tibbs Ave. in Indianapolis, in the categories of Indiana Spotlight, Comedy, Award Winners and a new category, Heartland Horror. Tickets and passes for the virtual festival and drive-in screenings can be purchased at IndyShorts.org.

Since 2009, shorts programmed by Heartland Film have gone on to earn 19 Academy Award nominations and seven Academy Award wins, including wins in the past five Oscar ceremonies.

Drive-in concerts have successful launch

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville’s Ruoff Music Center was part of a grand experiment.

PERFORMANCE Ruoff was one of three venues used for three nights of drive-in concerts July 10-12.

“Live From The Drive In was the first major return to live music here in the U.S., with artists performing live, in-person, giving fans those amazing summer concert experiences they’ve been missing,” Live Nation Venues President Tom See stated. “Thank you to the artists, fans, crews and Live Nation teams for reminding the world that nothing replaces the energy and excitement of live music. We look forward to doing this again soon.”

The other sites were St. Louis and Nashville, Tenn.

The concert stage was set up in Ruoff’s parking lot. Fans drove to their own private tailgate space and enjoyed the performances from outside of their cars.

At Noblesville, Yacht Rock Revue appeared July 10, Jon Pardi July 11 and Brad Paisley July 12.

Geist residents and frequent concert-goers Bill Benner and wife Sherry attended Yacht Rock Revue.

“We and a neighbor couple went with no expectations

other than to get out of the house and have an open-air experience,” Benner said. “We left highly impressed with the organization, the staffing, the music and the overall experience. From our arrival at Gate 1 to being parked took no more than five minutes. Departure required even less.”

Benner said although the foursome was a bit far from the stage, the sound was good, and the video screens were excellent.

“Staff did an outstanding job with the portable restrooms and politely enforced the social distancing. We all agreed it was a fun evening, worth the price and something we’d do again,” he said.

Lohrman pays tribute to Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Valeri Lohrman has embraced her new home in Carmel so much that her album is full of song titles paying tribute to the city and surroundings.

MUSIC Lohrman, who performs under the name Louvena the Scout, released her album “Roundabouts” July 17. The album cover features Carmel resident Oran Sands, who has made world records for time spent driving around Carmel roundabouts. The album also will be available as a CD. The title track is one of the album’s 11 songs.

There is one song called “Sun-Blinded on 146th Street.”

There is another one paying tribute to the nearby Pyramids in College Park in northwest Indianapolis called “Hieroglyphics in the Pyramids at College Park.”

“A lot of the things are inspired by Carmel,” she said.

“There is a song about ‘Organic,’ which I work at Whole Foods, so it was inspired by that.”

Lohrman, 24, works at the Whole Foods at Clay Terrace in Carmel. She moved to Carmel from south New Jersey in July 2019.

“I had more friends here than I had in New Jersey where I’m from,” she said. “I had a friend that went to Indiana Wesleyan University and she introduced me to her friends that became my friends. It just kind of stuck.”

Her performance name Louvena the Scout was derived from the iPhone game center that randomly assigned her that name.

“I thought that sounds pretty cool, so I made it my name,”

Valeri Lohrman, who goes by Louvena the Scout, moved to Carmel a year ago. (Submitted photo)

she said.

Her style is singer/songwriter with pop and indie rock elements. She plays piano and guitar. Dave Macey plays guitar on two of the songs.

In addition to songs inspired by Carmel and the surroundings, the songs are about heartbreak and growth. Lohrman wrote and recorded all the songs in her Carmel apartment.

“Two songs in particular stand out as personally very meaningful, ‘Hieroglyphics in the Pyramids and College Park’ and “Roundabouts,’” she said. “They essentially bookend this moment of growth, ‘Hieroglyphics’ signifying the end of this ‘lower’ part of my life, and ‘Roundabouts’ signifying a beginning to a better me. ‘Hieroglyphics’ still gives me chills when I listen to it. It’s likely one of my best songs, lyrically.”

The album will be available on iTunes and Spotify. The songs will be available on CD at louvenathescout.com.

A2Z Café

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 4705 E. 96th St., Indianapolis.

What to get: The Hawaiian Plate Price: $13 Anna’s take: I’ve never been to Hawaii.

It was my parents’ honeymoon destination, and it’s on my list of places to visit, but I have no experience with Hawaiian food.

A2Z Café in northern Indianapolis was an excellent introduction, especially with the Christmas tree adorned with Spam containers at the entrance. A2Z Café is a mom-andpop diner with traditional Hawaiian menu options and traditional American options.

On the Hawaiian side, I tried The Hawaiian Plate with Shoyu chicken, a type of Hawaiian-teriyaki chicken served with macaroni salad and white rice. It was delicious, with a unique blend of soy sauce, ginger and other ingredients.

The Hawaiian Plate comes with macaroni salad and white rice. Patrons choose between Shoyu chicken, grilled Spam, luau pork or Portuguese sausage. I chose Shoyu chicken. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

I also tried the Loco Moco ($11), another traditional Hawaiian dish which is the epitome of comfort food with rice, a hamburger patty and two over-easy eggs smothered in brown gravy.

On the American side, I tried the Hoosier pork tenderloin ($11.50) and the sloppy Joe ($8.50). Both were delicious, and I really appreciated that A2Z Café offers traditional American fare in addition to Hawaiian dishes.

Behind bars: The POGillini Get it at A2Z Café, Indianapolis Ingredients: • 3 oz. POG (passion fruit, orange, guave juice) • 3 oz. Prosecco Directions: Add ingredients to a champagne flute and serve.

Blueprint for Improvement: Reimagined laundry room in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The plumbing for the washing machine and vent for the dryer were moved to the back wall. This immediately opened up the space and made everything more accessible.

2. The owners chose maple cabinetry with a soft white painted finish. The cabinets are topped with a Cambria granite countertop.

3. Oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, including faucet and cabinet pulls, complete the look.

4. The porcelain tile floor — laid in a classic herringbone pattern — is the stunning finishing touch on this remodel.

THE CHALLENGE This 2011 home is in The Woods at Thorpe Creek neighborhood in Fishers. The original layout of the laundry room was not well designed — the washer and dryer extended so far into the room that it was difficult to maneuver to the cabinet and sink area.

History of a Muslim emperor’s church

PUZZLE ANSWERS

Commentary by Don Knebel Agra, a city in northern India, is home to the Taj Mahal, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his favorite wife. Agra also is home to a Roman TRAVEL Catholic church named for Shah Jahan’s Sunni Muslim grandfather, Akbar the Great.

In about 1556, 14-year-old Akbar became the third Mughal Emperor. His empire eventually included much of northern and central India, with its capital initially in Agra. When Armenian Christians established a trading colony in Agra, Akbar, known for religious tolerance, asked Jesuits from Goa, a Portuguese colony in southwest India, to teach him about Christianity. Three priests reportedly made the 1,000-mile trip to Akbar’s court in early 1580 and met with Akbar repeatedly during the next three years. Seeing Akbar’s openness to Christianity, more European Christians began settling in Agra. In 1598, Akbar built a church for Agra’s Christian community on land he owned near the Armenian colony. Akbar, one of whose wives was Christian, occasionally attended services in what became known as “Akbar’s Church.”

Jahangir, Akbar’s successor, expanded his father’s church, and three of his nephews were baptized there.

Shah Jahan, Jahangir’s son, became Mughal Emperor in 1628. During a war with the Portuguese, he captured some Jesuit priests and agreed to release them only after they had destroyed Akbar’s Church. A year later, he reconsidered, pardoned the priests and rebuilt the church on its

original site. Subsequent renovations and reconstructions resulted in the current church, which features French, Portuguese and Mughal architectural elements. Akbar’s Church remained the seat of the Agra’s bishop until 1848, when it could no longer accommodate Agra’s Christians. The imposing Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, which is adjacent to Akbar’s Church, replaced it. However, Akbar’s Church, also known as the “Church of the Pieta,” remains active and open to the public.
