APC sends rezone request to council

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The majority of the Westfield Advisory Plan Commission members shared their DEVELOPMENT thoughts both for and against a rezone request for the Links planned unit development prior to sending it to the Westfield City Council with an 8-1 positive recommendation at its Feb. 3 meeting.

The PUD proposes an entertainment center including a facility for laser tag, a jump park and a go-kart track as well as an observatory, digital planetarium and space science center.

Two public hearings were held on the proposal, which led to increased buffering with staggered evergreens and a 3-foot berm and only permitting electric go-karts. Birch Dalton of Edgerock Development is the developer for the project.

“I appreciate Mr. Dalton putting in the buffer yard. I know that was not required, or at least the berm was not required, so I appreciate him doing that,” APC member Ginny Kelleher said.

If the project is not built, Kelleher requested that the PUD revert to Local Business zoning and follow the State Road 32 Overlay.

APC member Kristen Burkman, who cast the only “no” vote, voiced concern about the location within Grand Park and how it wouldn’t be easily walkable from the sports campus’ baseball and soccer fields.

“I love the planetarium,” she said.

“I think that makes a lot of sense for the city. I love that you want to do an amenity center. I just don’t like where it is for future development of Grand Park and all its amenities. I like all the parts of the PUD. I just don’t like

where the amenities are, given other plans that are out there.”

Dalton said because of parking issues, much of the development immediately surrounding Grand Park hasn’t happened.

“The bottom line is, if we fill in around Grand Park, it’ll eventually fill in,” Dalton said.

APC President Randy Graham supports the project.

“Being a resident here, I think the development is spot-on in this location and what’s going to be there,” he said. “I’m glad to see it come through sooner rather than later.”

APC member Mike Johns, who also serves on the Westfield City Council, said the project will be beneficial.

“I think this development will go a long way to attracting more youth sports teams to our area when they know they have other amenities to spend time at during the weekend,” he said.

Deputy treasurer seeks damages from accuser

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Approximately 15 months after she was accused of waiving statutory fees on late tax payments on behalf of family and friends, LAWSUIT Hamilton County Chief Deputy Treasurer Kim Good has filed a defamation lawsuit against her accuser, Susan Byer.

Good, of Cicero, is represented by attorney Mario Massillamany, a partner in the firm Massillamany Jeter & Carson LLP. Byer, of Arcadia, Good had been an employee with the Hamilton County Treasurer’s Office for 13 years prior to being fired in March 2018. According to a formal complaint from Massillamany Jeter & Carson, Byer “was frequently and consistently disciplined for violating office policies and work rules such as distracting the attention of others, shouting, demonstrating/ causing a disruption in the workplace, unauthorized overtime, disobeying a reasonable order of a supervisor to perform assigned work, refusing to comply with written or verbal instructions, negligently handling of funds and falsifying county tax records.”

Byer then filed a wrongful termination lawsuit on Nov. 14, 2018, which alleges she was fired for threatening to uncover a criminal enterprise in which Good waived fees on late tax payments for her family members.

After Byer’s accusations were made, Brent Eaton, the prosecuting attorney for Hancock County, found there was insufficient evidence to prove Good waived the late fees. Good wasn’t charged with a crime, but the wrongful termination lawsuit will move forward.

A trial is scheduled for October.

Good is pursuing monetary damages against Byer for defamation.

Her attorney has not announced the amount. Good filed to run for Hamilton County Treasurer Jan. 6.

“Our claim is malice and that Susan did this on purpose to defame and hurt Kim Good,” Massillamany said.

“Our allegations are (Susan) was wanting to run for treasurer herself, and this was a way of taking down one of her opponents.”

Massillamany said shortly after the lawsuit was filed, Byer filed to run for Hamilton County Clerk Treasurer.

Massillamany said the lawsuit can take nine months to a year to play out. The next step is awaiting Byer’s response to the allegations. Byer has 30 days from the file date of Jan. 28 to respond.

“We will be waiting to see what Susan’s response is,” Massillamany said. “I think this is a really good case for us. We hope one of the things it does is it makes people think twice before making statements that aren’t actually accurate or truthful. This is completely and utterly politically motivated.”

Byer said the defamation lawsuit against her is politically motivated.

“This is a political lawsuit filed by a career politician and her political consultant lawyer,” Byer said.

Byer’s lawyer, Tim Stoesz, said the lawsuit was filed before Byer decided to run for office.

“It was done because she was fired for reporting Kim Good’s favoritism toward her parents,” Stoesz said.

“Susan has zero political motivation behind the filing of her lawsuit.”

Good has served as the county’s chief deputy treasurer for the past eight years. Prior to that, she was elected to the position of treasurer in 2004 and served until 2012.

Coffee Talk with Grate dates set — Members from the community have an opportunity to speak with Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Sherry Grate at various coffee talk dates. Attendees do not have to have a child in the school district. Upcoming dates are 9 a.m. Feb. 26 at Titus Bakery, 17471 Wheeler Rd. and 6 p.m. March 30 at Starbucks, 741 E. Ind. 32.

New legislation affects deductions, exemptions

TWO to Tincture

news@currentinwestfield.com

Hamilton County Auditor Robin Mills is informing county residents on newly enacted laws LAWS that change qualifying limitations for property tax deductions and exemptions.

Senate Enrolled Act 280 will change qualifying limitations to the Over 65, 65 Circuit Breaker and Disabled Veterans Deductions, and increase deduction amounts.

“People hear about legislation being passed all the time and may not truly understand the ramifications and what that legislation means for them,” Mills said. “Senate Enrolled Act 280 is one of those.”

SEA 280 increased the deduction amount for Disabled Veterans Deductions and Over 65 Deductions from $12,480 to $14,000. In addition, the assessed value limitation for the Over

65 Deduction increased from $182,430 to $200,000. The income limitation increased from $25,000 to $30,000 for single tenants and $40,000 for married or joint tenants. The assessed value limitation for the Over 65 Circuit Breaker Deduction also increased from $160,000 to $200,000. The income limitation remained at $30,000 for single tenants and $40,000 for married or joint tenants.

The assessed value limitation for Disabled Veterans increased from $175,000 to $200,000.

The new law also adds other qualifying factors for surviving spouses, including if an individual is killed in action, died while serving on active duty in the military or naval forces or dies while performing inactive duty training in the military or naval forces.

Council should perform duties Commentary by Donald Rainwater As the new year begins in Westfield, members of a newly elected city council are beginVIEWPOINT ning their four-year terms in office representing the people of Westfield.

During the election cycle, the candidates campaigned, at least in part, as members of a political party.

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that governments are instituted among human beings to secure the unalienable rights of all people. Among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as defined by the individual. James Madison later wrote that every person also has a right to property.

In a democratic republic, such as the City of Westfield, we elect leaders who then perform the functions of government. When these individuals are sworn into office, they become the representatives of all the people, not just those who voted for them.

They exist to secure the unalienable rights of everyone.

The members of the Westfield City Council were not elected to represent the Republican Party of Hamilton County, the Westfield GOP Club, the Fiscal Conservatives of Hamilton County, the Grand Junction Task Group, the Downtown Westfield Association or any of a multitude of developers and builders who are seeking the opportunity to do business in Westfield. The members of the Westfield City Council were elected to secure the unalienable rights of each and every resident of Westfield, irrespective of economic or political standing within the community.

Donald Rainwater, Westfield, is a Libertarian who ran for various offices. To reach him, write rainwater4indiana@ outlook.com.

Expanded offerings Culinary courses grow at Westfield High School

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When teacher Nikki Heflin first began teaching culinary classes at Westfield High COVER STORY School, only two classes were offered. Five years later, class offerings have expanded considerably — as has Heflin’s vision for the culinary program, which will serve up Heflin nine classes in beginning in the 2021-22 school year.

“We started the program about five years ago with two courses, Nutrition and Wellness and Advanced Nutrition 1,” Heflin said. “From there, student interest has grown, the rigor in the program has grown and the needs of our community have grown.”

At a time when the hospitality industry is having trouble filling positions, Heflin views the classes as filling a need.

“There’s a shortage in our community of highly skilled employees, and our students are the perfect fit for a lot of these positions,” she said.

“So, right here at the high school, these courses are highly training our students to go in and fill these positions.”

Many of Heflin’s students find work as hostesses, dishwashers, expeditors, assistant cooks and even assistant managers while still in high school.

“We have students that are graduating and going off to major in hospitality and tourism management, which traditionally is a two- or four-year program,” Heflin said. “We are seeing students now going to culinary school. We are setting our students up to explore all of those options, and the program is great

because we are able to work and capture interest of students and help guide them really on any pathway they want to continue on after high school.”

The classes are offered through a dual-credit partnership with Ivy Tech, where students have the potential to earn up to 12 dual credits for college.

Some of the high school classes even offer certification that can be applied in the workforce.

The Culinary 1 course is a two-trimester class that certifies students in ServSafe, which is the leading food safety standard in the food service industry.

“At the end, they take a national certification exam, and if they pass, they get certified,” Heflin said. “A restaurant has to have someone in the restaurant holding that certifi-

cate, according to the Hamilton County Board of Health, and our students are going into restaurants with that certification on their resume.”

Heflin co-teaches the courses with Bryan Ferreira.

Purdue University sophomore Seth Workman is still applying the skills he learned in Heflin’s class. He graduated from WHS in 2018.

“I started taking Mrs. Heflin’s classes in 2016, so I started with the basic nutrition classes, and then my junior year is when they first introduced the culinary arts classes in addition to nutrition,” Workman said. “I believe the first class was called Intro to Hospitality and Culinary Arts, and I knew I wanted to go into hospitality.

“A lot of skills I used in Mrs. Heflin’s class at high school carry on to college, which is cool because not every-

one taking classes gets to say that.”

Workman is majoring in hospitality and tourism management with a minor in event management and French.

In 2019, he spent six months in China through Purdue’s hospitality and tourism management program, where he gained hands-on food catering experience.

ESSAY

LETTER

Pack mentality

Support Heirbrandt

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor, I am writing this letter because I was overjoyed to see Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt file for reelection.

I could not imagine Hamilton County today without Mark Heirbrandt. The work he spearheaded over the course of his time serving as commissioner improved the entire county. While commissioner, Mark made major strides in road safety across the county. The Ind. 37 project is now under way, and when finished, will be an incredible value to the community by attracting businesses along the corridor and shortening commute times.

Just recently, Heirbrandt earned the Project of the Year from the Associated Builders & Contractors for powering the county’s correctional campus with solar energy and saving millions of taxpayer dollars.

I am very happy to support Mark Heirbrandt.

It is time to even the score. We cannot let them get by with this!

We have flourished on this blue sphere. Still, we carry within ourselves a need, justifiable or not, to keep the herd together, even if by force, shame or influence.

One might argue a bit of benevolence here. Don’t get too far from the collective or you will be eaten by a lion. But how do we know that our intention to coerce others into staying put isn’t more for us than for them? How can we be in charge if they aren’t listening?

We’ve developed all manner and sort of strategy for keeping our team members in their rightful place, directly behind us. We justify our indignation, exclaiming that we are forced into action by the malfeasance of others. We are just getting even. OK, but even with what? And, do we have a claim for even? Or, is the objective to protect ourselves by knocking down the contrast. Don’t outperform us because it makes us vulnerable. Don’t leave us alone on the plain or the lion will feast.

Not a routine morning Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m annoyed, but maybe you can have a good laugh. My husband Doo came downstairs earlier HUMOR than usual this morning, turned on all the lights and sat at the kitchen counter to go through bills. He even tried talking to me. What the heck? Doesn’t he understand I have a routine, nay, a ritual, that depends on 90 percent darkness, 100 percent silence and absolutely 0 percent other people?

Clearly, he does not, for when I said as much, he scoffed and proceeded to rip open envelopes as loudly as he could, right in front of my angry face.

What a butt!

Incidentally, this was the second such encounter in less than 12 hours.

Last night, when I’d already turned back into a pumpkin and was literally trying to sleep (eyes closed, weighted blanket tucked, sound machine on blast), Doo insisted on a fashion show (yes, a fashion show; he was dying to parade his new birthday clothes

in every possible combination). With his stuff strewn across the room, including the bed, he kept walking in and out, asking, “How do these jeans look?” “Does this shirt wash me out?”

I admit to enjoying his production, but seriously, I just wanted some ZZZs. And complaining to Doo obviously doesn’t work. He’s a classic extrovert who needs dramatic stimulus 24/7 while I require the exact opposite, which is basically anything resembling a float-tank session. It’s an enigma, for sure.

In summary, my perfectly crafted morning and evening routines are being firebombed by a handsome bald guy in a new sweater vest with a dangerous aversion to online bill pay.

It’s OK. Go ahead and laugh.

Peace out.

Violent nature of TV Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Tom Roush Mazda THE 2020 MAZDA CX-30 LEASE FOR $215/MO FOR 36 MONTHS (317) 896-5561 W W W. TO M R O U S H M A Z D A . C O M US 31 N.WESTFIELD, IN

Not all leases will qualify. Lease is 36 months, 10k miles, with $2,999 DAS + tax, title, 1st payment and $199 doc fee. Must take new retail delivery from dealer stock by 2/29/20. See Tom Roush Mazda for complete details.

On Sunday nights, we have a tradition in the Wolfsie family. Our son Brett comes over, and HUMOR after dinner we all watch one of the many nature shows on WFYI or the BBC. We are especially captivated by programs narrated by Sir Richard Attenborough, with his mesmerizing voice. The video clips of predatory animals, birds, fish and insects are enthralling.

My wife gets emotionally involved in these shows. The photography vividly captures the incredible beauty and complexity of life. But it also highlights the tremendous competition for food.

“Why do all these animals have to eat each other?” Mary Ellen asked me last week. “Why can’t they all be vegetarians?”

Fair question. In fact, this was the very question Emma Darwin asked her husband Charles when she read his initial draft of “On the Origin of Species.” This put a damper on her hubby’s first attempt at a bestseller.

Last Sunday, hyenas were chasing monkeys. Mary Ellen rooted for the monkeys, of course. When badgers preyed on cute prairie dogs, Mary Ellen covered her eyes, hoping the badgers would fail. Dingoes stalking baby kangaroos? She was screaming, “Hurry, hurry!” to the adorable joeys on the run.

Polar bears were hunting seals in one episode, and Mary Ellen was rooting for the seals, but when she saw clips of the darling polar bear cubs

that hadn’t eaten in weeks, she didn’t know for whom to root.

Mary Ellen was rooting against a lion when it stalked a baby deer for food, but later in the documentary, we saw a hungry cougar swimming in a river after a crocodile. This time, my wife rooted for the feline, especially when the photographers showed the adorable cubs back in her lair, pining for their dinner.

“But what about those cute little crocodile hatchlings?” I goaded her, proud of myself for knowing what a baby croc is called. “Aren’t you rooting for them?”

“Don’t confuse me,” Mary Ellen said.

“I didn’t ask you why you rooted for the Indianapolis Colts all year, and then in the Super Bowl, all of a sudden you rooted for San Francisco.”

“Huh?” There was much to unpack in that analogy, but on some bizarre level, she kind of had a point.

Last Sunday, I suggested we break tradition and watch “The Lion King.”

It was a nice change, because in the film no animal digests another animal.

But in the final scenes, the evil lion Scar was about to be attacked by a clan of hyenas. This was no laughing matter.

Oh, and this time, Mary Ellen was clearly rooting for the hyenas.

Avoid overuse injuries Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan If you are like many Americans, you may have made a New Year’s resolution to improve PREVENTION your health. Overuse injuries occur when we begin an exercise program that is too aggressive or when we step up the speed or duration of our current routine.

Overuse injuries include: • Tendonitis, or inflamed tendon, is commonly associated with jumping or side-to-side motions.

• Plantar fasciitis, or inflammation of the plantar fascia which runs along the sole of the foot, is caused by overuse of this tissue.

The heel pain from plantar fasciitis is usually worst in the morning when you first get out of bed.

• Stress fractures are tiny breaks in the bone that plague athletes such as distance runners and basketball players.

Some prevention methods are as

follows: Do some gentle stretches before beginning your activity – but always warm up before stretching with some easy jogging in place.

• Don’t work through any pain.

• Follow the 10 percent rule. Increase your activity level, such as running distance or duration, by only 10 percent per week.

• Whenever possible, run on soft, flat surfaces.

• Mix up your routine. Alternate hard training days with easier ones.

• Choose the right footwear.

• Replace your running shoes every 500 miles.

• Women and teen girls should get enough calcium.

But low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can be just as dangerous.

Hypoglycemia can be a precursor to diabetes that is often downplayed by doctors and/or missed by tests. Having low blood sugar might even make you think that you are far from having diabetes when, in fact, the opposite is true. If you think you might have hypoglycemia, call your doctor.

ATI, CSO collaborate for production of Sondheim’s ‘Sweeney Todd’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Don Farrell has been eager for this collaboration on one of his favorite musicals.

MUSICAL “I am very excited about playing a part in presenting such a great musical as (Stephen) Sondheim’s ‘Sweeney Todd’ in the Palladium, a venue worthy of such a great work of art that many have called the greatest musical ever written,” Farrell said. “To hear the lush orchestrations by the wonderful Carmel Symphony Orchestra will be marvelous for everyone.

Mr. Sondheim turns 90 years old on March 22, and I can’t think of a better way for Actors Theatre of Indiana and the Carmel Symphony Orchestra to honor and celebrate the genius of such an iconic composer and lyricist than our production.”

ATI and CSO will present “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” at 8 p.m. Feb. 21-22 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

ATI co-founder Farrell played the role of Todd for the first time for ATI in 2016.

“I am thrilled to recreate the role for this amazing co-production,” Farrell said. “I played the role of Anthony Hope twice, the first time in 1991 at Cincinnati Hot Summer Nights with Broadway actress Pamela Myers in the role of Mrs. Lovett, and then again in 1992 for The Springer Opera House in Columbus, Ga.” Fellow ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins also appear in the production.

Farrell said Sondheim musicals are complex and no two works are similar in style or presentation.

certainly complex,” he said. “Here you have a man who devoutly loves his family, was unjustly exiled for 15 years of hard labor by a corrupt judge wishing to take advantage of his wife and child. Everything was taken away from him. Who can’t relate to the deep hurt, anger, pain and loss and the temptation, the desire to enact revenge on such horrific characters as Judge Turpin and the society he represents? The question is how we deal with that hurt, pain and loss. What decisions do we choose to make and act upon? And truthfully, I believe that everyone wants to root for the underdog, even if Sweeney’s choices might be very unsavory at the very the least.

“I do find the characters that Sondheim chooses to write about and create are very challenging and satisfying to perform. They are not one-dimensional, but neither are human beings, which is why I find them so engaging.”

Fitzgerald plays Mrs. Lovett, Todd’s accomplice in the murders, as she did in 2016.

“She is pretty much the mastermind in all of the killing and the pie filling,” Fitzgerald said. “She is a despicable character right out of the gate. Good thing that she is funny and (provides) comic relief for the production.”

Collins is reprising her role as the Beggar Woman.

“What I like about the role is that it is challenging,” Collins said.

“Sondheim is challenging for any actor, which is why everyone in the business relishes portraying a character in a Sondheim musical. In my opinion, it’s Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece.”

Fitzgerald agrees.

“He is beyond brilliant,” she said.

“As an actor it is so fulfilling to perform anything Sondheim.”

Collins said it’s always a thrill to perform with a full orchestra “The Palladium’s acoustics are wonderful, and it is always a joy to sing there,” Collins said.

CSO Music Director Janna Hymes said a choir will join the orchestra.

Deer Creek Pub & Bistro opened last fall, and shortly thereafter chef Chris Pike moved from Boston and revamped the menu, which offers a mix of comfort food and bar food. I sampled the fusion wings ($9.98), eight meaty, bone-in

baked chicken wings, seasoned, fried, sauced and grilled. The fusion is similar to teriyaki. I also tried chicken tenders ($8), which are five hand-breaded chicken tenders tossed in your choice of sauce. My favorite item was the grilled chicken and noodles, which was a hefty serving of grilled chicken, thick Amish egg noodles and mashed potatoes with skins smothered in homemade gravy. It was so incredible I ate all I could, took the rest home and finished it off bachelor-style, standing over my sink because I didn’t want to waste time grabbing a plate.

CCPL presents concert

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Public Library wants to spread the 2020 Mardi Gras season to residents.

MARDI GRAS From 2 to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 16, the Cohen-Rutkowski Project will perform a free concert in the library’s Main Room.

The Cohen-Rutkowski Project is the brainchild of saxophonist Rich Cohen and pianist/composer Chris Rutkowski, who have created various groups that, in addition to the Cohen-Rutkowski Project, include the Cohen-Rutkowski Mix and Cohen-Rutkowski Duo. Based in Indianapolis, the band describes itself as a high-energy acoustic jazz ensemble. Performing both originals and covers, it frequently performs around the city and at Indy Jazz Fest and the Indianapolis Artsgarden.

“We’re putting together a program that pays homage to New Orleans rhythms, in conjunction with Mardi Gras season,” said Cohen, a Carmel resident. “The program

Saxophonist Rich Cohen, left, and pianist and composer Chris Rutkowski. (Submitted photo)

also will include educational content about the rhythm of New Orleans street grooves, the role of the different instruments in a jazz quartet and a little bit about what it is that jazz musicians are doing when they’re performing a song.”

Diann Ryan of CCPL said the library strives to educate as well as entertain patrons.

“It’s one of the things we like to bring to the community,” Ryan said.

Admission is free. Learn more at carmel.lib.in.us.

Brewery, restaurant partner

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Two Indianapolis businesses are partnering throughout the month to offer a CHOCOLATE pairing of beer and homemade chocolates.

Bier Brewery, 5133 E. 65th St., and Movable Feast, 5143 E. 65th St., will sell the pairings for $12.50 at each location.

Movable Feast co-owner Kathleen Tracy orders the cocoa from

Belgium and makes the chocolates herself.

“There are four different types of chocolates, and people will get two of each,” Tracy said.

The chocolates must be purchased at Bier Brewery to receive the flight of beer pairings, but if purchased at Movable Feast, patrons will have the opportunity to pair the chocolate with wine.

“We wanted to have some fun things in the neighborhood,” Tracy said of the partnership.

Year after year, saving more money is consistently a top priority, and if you are strategizing ways to improve your financial health and boost your savings in 2020, Centier Bank has 5 easy ways you can save more to set yourself up for a successful year.

BUDGET - Creating a budget is one of the first steps you should take to saving more money. Without a budget, you won’t know where your money is going or where you can find room to improve. Furthermore, a budget is imperative to helping you keep track of your spending and planning for unexpected expenses.

AUTOMATE YOUR SAVINGS - Consider setting up an automatic transfer from each paycheck into your savings account. The “set it

and forget it” approach is helpful as it does not require you to remember to transfer money into your savings account or expend any extra effort. This can also reduce the temptation of spending that money before it gets saved.

ELIMINATE DEBT - When you must pay interest on credit card balances and loans, you’re throwing away money. After paying off your loans and debts, you’ll have more money to save. Figure out a plan to tackle high-interest debt first. The faster you pay it off, the less you’ll have to pay in interest. Once your debt is paid off, consider putting the money you were paying each month into your savings.

TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR SHOPPING HABITS - Are you subscribed to too many marketing

emails? Are you an impulse shopper? Look at your spending habits and find ways to make small adjustments. For example, use the 24-hour rule when shopping. If you find an item you want to buy, sleep on it for 24 hours before purchasing. After considering it, you might decide you don’t need it after all.

ASK FOR HELP - You don’t have to dive into savings all alone! We have a dedicated group of individuals to help you understand your finances and make recommendations regarding your financial plan. Contact your local Centier Bank Branch Manager or go to centier.com for more information.

Valentine vino varieties Commentary by Elizabeth Morse What to choose for your romantic evening? I’ve got some creative options to share WINEderlust with you. Pardon the names, some of them may make you blush. These beauties can be found locally at many locations, but all four are available at Tasteful Times on Olio Road in Fishers.

Brassfield Eruption, $19.99, is a sweet, red blend of petite sirah, syrah, malbec, grenache, mourvèdre, zinfandel and viognier. Whew. I love the pretty violet fragrance of this wine. It’s a mouthful of huge California fruit, with some vanilla, cedar and pepper. Silky smooth and definitely sweet but with structured tannins. It’d be a great complement to barbecue.

Next up is a fun new variety from the Willow Creek District in Paso Robles (California). Barton Holiday Clairette, $34.99, is a white wine that

should please anyone who normally enjoys chardonnay. It’s a dry, tropical glass featuring the likes of mango and papaya but contrasted with minerals and sweet apples. A thoughtful change of pace. Give it a swirl.

Feeling spendy? Lust by Michael David Wines, $54.99, is a delicious, velvety zinfandel that is described by the winemaker as “sexy, showy and seductive.” With a flavor profile that smacks of raspberry, dark cherry and chocolate, you’ll also pick up bits of caramel and softly spiced vanilla. A decadent selection, for sure, and perfect with a chocolate dessert. From Lodi, Calif., this one is a little higher in alcohol, coming in at 15.5 percent alcohol by volume. You’ve been warned.

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel pool cabana Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The covered pavilion is large enough to offer plenty of room for an outdoor sitting area and dining area. The back of the building features an oversized storage room that can be accessed from the driveway via a garage door.

2. Custom privacy screening was added next to the driveway.

3. The space features an outdoor kitchen and wall-mounted TV. 4. The new guest bathroom and mudroom are immediately inside the home, so guests can quickly and easily access these areas from the outdoors.

THE CHALLENGE This home is in Carmel’s Grandin Hall neighborhood. The homeowners were eager to create a beautiful backyard oasis, including a new pool and covered pavilion to play host to friends and family. And to better accommodate their guests, they wanted more space inside by adding on an extra bathroom and mudroom.

Wall in Las Vegas’ Mob Museum. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A tour of the mob museum Commentary by Don Knebel For most Americans, Valentine’s Day is associated with love and romance. An exhibit in TRAVEL an unusual Las Vegas museum remembers an altogether different Valentine’s Day story.

In 2002, the then-mayor of Las Vegas, a lawyer who had previously defended local crime figures, decided that his city needed a museum devoted to organized crime and government efforts to fight it. Despite considerable opposition, his dream was realized in 2012 when the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement opened in a renovated Depression-era federal courthouse on Stewart Street, 6 miles north of the strip. Designed by the person who designed Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the so-called “mob museum” is operated in partnership with the city.

The second floor includes the actual courtroom where Sen. Estes Kefauver held hearings in 1950 and 1951 investigating organized crime in Las Vegas. Photographs and recordings from the hearings recreate the atmosphere of the time. Other exhibits

feature notorious gang figures and those who pursued and prosecuted them. One particularly graphic exhibit includes photographs of the mutilated bodies of men killed in gang wars. Another exhibit includes a replica of an electric chair. The third floor, where the self-guided tour begins, includes the killing wall, reconstructed from the original bricks, from Chicago’s infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. On Feb. 14, 1929, seven members and associates of the North Side Gang were lined up against the wall of a garage in the Lincoln Park area and shot by four men thought to have been members of Al Capone’s crime family. Red circles indicate where the bullets hit the wall. Nearby is a Colt revolver recovered from the massacre. In 2018, a speakeasy called “The Underground” was added in the basement, serving corn alcohol distilled on-site in a recreated pot still.
