A piece of the Herb Barn was repurposed as a gazebo in Liberty Park. (Submitted photos)

The Herb Barn used to be on 146th Street near the Carmel/Westfield border.

Historic barn lives on at park

By Jessica Williams news@currentiincarmel.com A weathered barn, its rafters decorated with dried lavender, once stood beyond Spring Mill Road where 146th Street PROFILE winds toward Ditch Road. Inside, floral wreaths, herbs, paper, candy, molasses cookies and sugar cookies adorned with single center raisins were for sale. Local kids rode their 10-speeds down Six Points Road to 146th Street for those giant cookies, a bottled Coke, or some Candy Buttons and then hopped on the tire swing.

The barn was the Herb Barn, the work of Alan and Barbara Brookie White. It attracted busloads of people for more than 35 years after opening in 1969. This one-time destination near the Carmel and Westfield border aimed to provide an escape from the ordinary, and a piece of it can be found in Westfield’s Liberty Park.

“I think I was born with a love of flowers from an early age,” said Alan, a 1955 Westfield High School graduate.

Alan, whose résumé includes working for Joe Letterman, David Letterman’s father, in his floral shop at 34th Street in Indianapolis, spent his senior year working for local florists. During that time, he met Barbara, another Westfield graduate. They married four years later, rented a small apartment in downtown Carmel and began collecting antiques for it.

Barbara, an artist who would attend the John Herron Art Institute, was born and raised in Carmel, living near 116th Street until her parents bought 90 acres of farmland off 146th Street when she was a high school freshman. It was during Alan and Barbara’s delayed honeymoon, bicycling and “scrimping” their

way through Europe, they received word that Barbara’s father had died. After her father’s death, Barbara and Alan moved into the farmhouse on a portion of those 90 acres, which at the time consisted of the farmhouse, a small barn and a large barn.

In 1962, they moved in. Alan was in his second year of dental school.

But after practicing dentistry a few years, he found his dental career unsatisfying. So, with a 10-month-old son and another in kindergarten, Barbara and Alan started buying and refinishing furniture to sell. At antique shows, they’d set up their finds and decorate the antiques with herbs from their garden.

They decided to tackle the second barn—the large barn—for the Herb Barn.

With a small bank loan, they opened their official shop. Barbara started designing gift tags, cards and paper to sell. Never satisfied how the Chicago printers printed her designs, she bought her own printing press and learned printing and embossing.

When the time came to sell their land because of the road-widening and redevelopment of 146th Street, Alan and Barbara closed the Herb Barn in phases and essentially gave away their printing equipment. They left the property in 2009, and not long after, the farmhouse and grounds were razed for development.

But when one story ended, a new one began. After closing the Herb Barn, they stumbled upon their current venture, running a bed and breakfast in Yountsville.

Bricks from the small barn were repurposed as part of a 2011 Eagle Scout project and used to build another retreat from the routine, a gazebo at the southeast corner of 161st Street and South Union Street in Liberty Park.

Local company helps declutter

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield-based Organizing Remedies has helped people organize and declutter for more than three years, all while making donations to the GIVING BACK community.

“It is important to set yourself up for success,” said Cindy Garloch, owner and professional home organizer for Organizing Remedies. “People on average spend seven hours a week looking for their things. I tell clients that by taking the time to purge and organize, you can save yourself valuable time in the future.”

The company provides professional organizing services for customers in Hamilton and Marion counties. Garloch said she regularly donates items people throw out after she organizes their home.

“Most people don’t know they have options,” she said. “I have clients that still have crayons and toys, but now their kid is 25 and there’s no need for it anymore.

Teachers and women’s shelters can really benefit here. It resonates with clients and it does direct and immediate good. Many of my clients don’t care where the stuff goes.

THE CITY

Mayor’s address highlights 10 years as a city, upcoming projects

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Mayor Andy Cook not only highlighted upcoming projects in his annual State of the City address Jan. 18, but also reflected on COVER STORY Westfield’s first 10 years as a city.

Cook spoke during a Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon. He began his presentation with a video reflecting on Westfield’s journey to becoming a city. The video was created by Cameron Sprinkle.

In the video, residents, developers, the mayor, city staff and others spoke on Westfield and its downtown. Multiple chapters emphasized different aspects of Westfield’s trek to becoming a city, such as creating a downtown.

“The first time I heard Westfield becoming a city was in 2007,” Economic Development Director Matt Skelton said in the video. “My initial reaction was, ‘Why? What would be accomplished by doing that, as having folks outside of Westfield perceive us as a city, as a legitimate entity?’ I think that’s changed the way people treat us, the way people perceive Westfield, and frankly, I think it’s had a huge effect on the people who live in Westfield and how they perceive themselves.”

Skelton’s wife, Teresa, is director of the Downtown Westfield Association. She also spoke during the video.

“Nothing stays the same, and if you don’t move forward, you take, usually, a couple of steps backward,” she said.

The video chronicled Cook joining the town council in 2007, which ultimately led to his run for mayor.

“At that time, I was looking around and thinking, ‘What could we possibly be here in Westfield?’” he said.

In the video, Cook said one of the first objectives to becoming a city was to develop a downtown. He said there were discussions on moving the downtown closer to Spring Mill Road, or centering it at Union and Main streets.

“The consensus came back to keep our down-

town where it is,” Cook said. “I look back, and these 10 years have absolutely flown by. So much has happened.”

Cook followed up the video with a live presentation. He said Grand Junction Park and Plaza will begin more movement this year, along with road construction to frame the Grand Millennium Center.

“You’re going to see some very, very exciting things happening in and around the downtown area,” Cook said.

Cook spoke on Grand Park’s recent announcements, such as the Indianapolis Colts moving its training camp to Grand Park, the Pacers Athletic Center and more.

Cook mentioned the possibility of the city becoming a golf cart community and hinted that Link Observatory Space Science Institute might be seeking a 2,000- to 4,000-square-foot building in Westfield.

The city also will invest in gateway signs on the 146th Street overpass on U.S. 31. The signs cost approximately $270,000 and will go to bid soon, with a projected completion date of mid-summer.

COOK JOINS TRAVEL, TOURISM COMMIT TEE

Mayor Andy Cook announced during his annual State of the City address Jan. 18 at the Bridgewater Club in Westfield that he was asked to join the National Advisory Committee on Travel and Tourism Infrastructure. He will join approximately 20 others on the committee.

“I like transportation, love the tourism,” Cook said. “I think just what a tribute to the City of Westfield (this is). I’m thrilled to represent this city.”

The National Advisory Committee on Travel and Tourism Infrastructure is an extension of the U.S. Dept. of Transportation.

Shifting rules

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker In 1735, U.S. founding-era publisher Benjamin Franklin is quoted as having said in “Poor Richard’s Almanac,”: “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” By 1920, another American, Pulitzer-prize winner Carl Sandburg, took the adage to task, asserting, “Early to bed and early to rise and you never meet any prominent people.” One could assume his assertion is rooted in some evolved knowledge that only a fool would get up and work hard to find success.

There is always someone eager to give us cover for our choices. No matter the habit, vice or proclivity, there is an internet troll eager to reinforce the alternative position. Even as we destroy the existing foundations of our civil order, how does a reasonable person sift through the rubble?

Sure, we’re cool. Right? Stay up late. Sleep in. Miss school, if you’d like. Who cares?

Rules are meant to be broken. While we might argue that the world has moved in a direction where pajama pants are acceptable office attire, does this trend mean that people won’t work for a company with a dress code? Perhaps. But likewise, might said company attract those who are comfortable in trousers sporting something other than an elastic waistband? Maybe we should ask why we have offices at all. Can’t we just work from bed? Slippers are comfy.

Ours is an age of shifting standards. We challenge each basic rule as a pointless tradition. In an attempt to achieve laudable pluralism, we accept all ideologies as equivalent. But, is every approach to living deserving of equal standing, or do some achieve empirically better outcomes?

READER’S VIEW Let’s build a truly regional transit system Editor, As we revel in the news that Indy is one of 20 finalists for Amazon’s HQ2, let’s take a moment to consider one thought: Had the request for bids come out a few years ago, we probably wouldn’t have made the cut.

One of the requirements Amazon stipulated is direct access to mass transit, such as rail, subway or bus lines. The system we’ve had for decades – and still have today – wouldn’t qualify, but, fortunately, progress is under way thanks to Marion County voters, who approved a tax increase in 2016 that’s allowing the Marion County Transit Plan to be implemented. Nearly 50 miles of bus rapid transit on three lines and 70 percent more local bus service will dramatically improve Marion County’s public transit system. Route improvements, including greater frequencies, start next month.

Making Amazon’s Top 20 shows that

this progress is already having an impact, but we cannot let up. We still have a long way to go to have a truly regional transit system. As it stands now, only Marion County has embraced the transit plan. To continue to compete for projects like Amazon’s, we need a regional system – we need to make sure that discussions about expanding transit in surrounding counties bear fruit.

The good news is that the bid for Amazon has caused many people in this area to recognize how critical mass transit is to our region’s economic future. Now that we’ve got people’s attention, let’s show them how committed we are to competing for the biggest economic opportunities by building out the vision of a truly regional, 21st-century transit system.

I recently celebrated another birthday, the big four-six. No party or hoopla, but I did have several moments HUMOR where I certainly felt the love.

My actual birthday fell on Friday, which meant the usual early morning carpool, work and then a Meijer run.

But when I finally got home, my family had taken to heart my one present request, to have the house clean. True, as soon as I left, the main floor disaster reigned, but the kitchen was dish-free and the living room smelled of lemon instead of dog poop, so I took it. They do love me!

Saturday I carved out two hours between color guard drop-off and dance pickup to spend some birthday cash at DSW before heading out to dinner with Doo and my siblings-in-law. And even though the restaurant ended up being a seafood place (which made ordering challenging since I vowed long ago never to eat ocean fish while in a land-locked state) and one SIL confirmed on the way home that she has a severe allergy to shellfish (a side street off Keystone, a stretch of U.S. 31, and our toilet will never be the same), it was a fun evening. Plus, I scored a free dessert!

My weekend culminated in a college basketball game in Kentucky. I’ll admit to shedding a few tears as I drove down through dreary fog alone (my youngest became ill and had to bail), but I scrounged up a lastminute date and enjoyed both the hot dogs and the win.

Not the typical celebratory weekend, but if this birthday is any indication of the year ahead, 46 will be a good one. Peace out.

Phyllis Baskerville passed away peacefully this past week. In my 35 years on Channel 8, she may have HUMOR been my favorite guest. She was not someone to be toyed with—or she was the perfect person to toy with. You decide.

I met Phyllis in 2002 after doing a live TV segment in Fortville. As I headed for my car, the spunky 75-year-old woman in her pickup truck approached me and asked me to follow her home.

Minutes later we arrived at a Pentecostal church. Entering the sanctuary was heavenly. Taking up every bit of available space were thousands of classic toys, all in mint condition, and many in the original boxes.

Memories flooded back as I saw board games, wind-up toys, lunchboxes and dolls I had not seen in 50 years.

When Phyllis’s husband developed Alzheimer’s, Phyllis was overwhelmed, as many caregivers are.

“I went to a support group meeting, but that wasn’t for me,” Phyllis said. “I didn’t need someone else’s problems. I needed something else.”

That something else began with a few dolls she had, which mushroomed into so many toys that they filled several rooms.

When her husband’s condition worsened, they moved from Florida to Indy to be close to her daughters.

That’s when she decided to open a museum.

Phyllis purchased the then-vacant Fortville church and continued to hunt for toys, assisted by her daughters who religiously took Phyllis to garage sales, antique shows and consignment shops.

Her museum’s normal tour lasted 90 minutes, with Phyllis pointing out her favorites.

“See that O.J. Simpson board game? See that Gund doll?” she said. “You’ll never see anything like that again.”

She often interrupted herself to demonstrate a punching nun or to set in motion Robby the Robot.

The museum is closed, and the future of Dolly Mama’s is still to be determined.

Austen fan embraces role

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com Emily Bohn is a huge fan of Jane Austen literature. So much so that portraying a character from an Austen novel has been a lifelong ambition.

THEATER Finally, she’s getting the chance to fulfill it.

Bohn, an Indianapolis resident who grew up in Carmel, portrays Elinor Dashwood in Civic Theatre’s production of “Sense and Sensibility,” based on the classic novel.

Published in 1811, “Sense and Sensibility” tells the story of the teenage Dashwood sisters, who become broke and “socially vulnerable” following the death of their father in 18th century England. The play runs Feb. 2 through Feb. 17 at Civic Theatre, 3 Center Green, Suite 300.

Bohn, who began acting at a young age in summer theater camps, has longed for the opportunity to perform in an Austen production.

“I’m drawn to the story for the fact that it’s Jane Austen,” said Bohn, a 2012 Park Tudor High School graduate who has a bachelor’s degree in theater from Butler University.

She also has a diploma in classical act-

ing from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts and teaches acting at the Indiana Repertory Theatre.

Civic’s production is directed by John Michael Goodson. Deena Fogle is the stage manager. The other lead cast members are Morgan Morton (Marianne Dashwood); Elisabeth Griffin Speckman (Margaret/Anne); Carrie Neal (Mrs. Dashwood); Justin Klein (John Dashwood); Joshua Ramsey (Edward/ Robert); Abby Gilster (Fanny/Lucy); Bradford Reilly (Bandon); Matt Anderson (Sir John/ Doctor); Mami Lemons (Mrs. Jennings); and Emily Jackson (Lady Middleton/Mrs. Ferrars).

Simcha is a Hebrew word meaning gladness or joy.

The Academy of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will present a cabaretDANCE style production of “SIMCHA” Feb. 3 to 18. It showcases Jewish culture and heritage and features a mix of Yiddish, Klezmer, Ladino and Israeli music.

The piece, choreographed by Artistic Director Gregory Hancock, was first performed in Latvia.

Hancock said the cabaret-style setting gives audiences an up-close look at the performance.

“You can see the physicality more, hear the dancers breathing,” Hancock said.

The show also will feature a series of vignettes showcasing Jewish culture, including “1941,” a solo piece about a mother’s grief during the Holocaust performed by Taylar Green; “The Western Wall,” an abstract piece performed by the G2 dancers; and an untitled piece.

Music students visit Broadway

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For a group of Carmel High School Applied Music students, a trip to New York was far more than just a MUSIC chance to see the sights.

The students saw four Broadway shows: “Waitress,” “Kinky Boots,” “Come From Away” and “Once on This Island.” The students visited Radio City Music Hall and the 9/11 Museum. They attended backstage workshops as well.

“I absolutely loved the workshops we did with the Broadway performers,” junior Laney McNamar said. “We learned a dance from ‘Once on This Island,’ and once we had the steps down, the cast member we were working with pulled me up to do it alone with him, which was very cool. I also got the chance to sing a solo in front of them, which was very helpful because I received feedback on what to improve.”

Senior Hannah Paul and junior Jessy Voris found the workshop experience to be special as well.

“The backstage workshop was a highly valuable experience as I not only received feedback on my personal performance, but also had the chance to learn Broadway-

Blueprint for Improvement: Backyard fit for entertainment Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This home in Lebanon was built in the 1980s. The interior was perfect for the homeowners, but the exterior of the home had a small deck and a large yard that was being underutilized.

The overall goal was to create a larger space for the family to entertain, utilizing more of the homeowners’ backyard and making it easy for them to maintain.

1. The biggest transformation came from removing the deck and a large tree in the backyard, which created enough space to add a large, stamped-concrete patio that utilized more of the backyard.

2. Having the extra space on the large patio allowed the homeowners to add more outdoor furniture without compromising space.

3. Building a pavilion structure with a ceiling fan created a comfortable shaded area for entertaining.

4. The pavilion also created a space for the homeowners to add a portable fire pit.

5. Light fixtures were added to the structure so it could be enjoyed in the evening hours.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The original deck on the home was small and had limited shaded space for the homeowners to entertain. The deck needed regular maintenance and upkeep. The backyard was very large, and a majority of it was not being utilized to its full potential.

In 2014, kale was all the rage at the local farmers market. 2016 brought us an avocado fad, which GRAMMAR GUY elevated toast prices among the hipster millennial community. As a professional grammarian and amateur vegetable trend forecaster, take this hot tip: You’re going to want to put all your summer stock in Brussels sprouts.

Before you object to this up-and-coming veggie trend based on how your mom used to make Brussels sprouts (boiled to oblivion), I’m told there are now more interesting and tasty ways to prepare these cute little cabbages (roasted with sea salt and olive oil, for one).

And it’s spelled Brussels sprouts, not brussel sprouts. You could theoretically have one Brussels sprout, I suppose. Even though they originated in the Mediterranean region, Brussels sprouts gained popularity across Europe, especially in Belgium, where they received their geographical moniker. And yes, I capitalized the “b” in Brussels sprouts.

For that matter, what about the “f” in

French toast? French fries certainly don’t always get the capital treatment. In the United Nations of foods, there’s not much capitalization consistency. Will the delegation from Switzerland be offended if Swiss cheese isn’t capitalized?

One argument against capitalizing any noun phrase containing a place word is that you should call Brussels sprouts “Brussels sprouts” with a capital “b” if (and only if) they did, indeed, originate from the city of Brussels. If they didn’t actually hail from the geographical region, argues the Chicago Manual of Style, you don’t need to capitalize them.

I’m going to have to disagree with the “never capitalize” camp. I’ve never seen baked Alaska with a lowercase “a,” even though the flambéd dessert most likely wasn’t sourced and shipped from our 49th state. The same rule applies to Swiss chard, Dijon mustard, Gorgonzola cheese, Canadian bacon and the Cuban sandwich.

Mount of Temptation near Jericho, Palestinian Territories. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Sizing up Mount of Temptation Commentary by Don Knebel A monastery suspended from the side of a mountain near Jericho memorializes a famous story about Jesus. It also suggests that perhaps the story should TRAVEL not be taken too literally.

According to the New Testament, after Jesus had been baptized in the Jordan River he went into the desert to meditate. After 40 days of fasting, the devil took him to an “exceedingly high mountain,” where he could see all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, and offered him control of those kingdoms if Jesus became a devil worshipper. Jesus refused.

As early as the first century, Christian hermits began living in a network of about 40 natural caves on the side of a 1,200-foot mountain northwest of Jericho. In about 326 A.D., after Emperor Constantine had declared that Christianity was legal in the Roman Empire, he sent his mother Helena to identify sites mentioned in the Bible.

She concluded that the mountain with the caves was where the devil had tempted

Jesus. Based on Helena’s identification, fourth century monks built a monastery on the mountain near the ruins of a second century B.C. fortress erected by the Maccabees. The monastery was destroyed in 614 when Persia took control of the area from the Byzantine Empire. When the Crusaders captured the area in 1099, they erected two churches near caves, by then associated with the temptation of Jesus. In 1895, a Greek Orthodox religious order erected a cantilevered monastery half way up the side of the mountain, now known as the Mount of Temptation.

Since 1998, a cable car has run from the ruins of the ancient city of Jericho to the monastery, where visitors can eat lunch and get a spectacular view of the Jordan River Valley, the Dead Sea and the mountains of Moab in nearby Jordan.

DISPATCHES Paint color and home value – When Zillow.com examined the effect that colors had on the closing prices of more than 32,000 recently sold homes, it discovered that the color of paint used on the walls can add or subtract thousands of dollars of value. The Zillow analysis found that muted blues and grays add the most value, while warm colors including reds, oranges and yellows reduced a home’s value the most.

Reuse those cartons – Six-pack cartons are useful for storing and transporting items like spray paint, lubricants and caulk. So, save those beer cartons and put them to good use in the garage.
