State legislators give halftime update at legislative breakfast By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Indiana General Assembly lawmakers representing Hamilton County gave a mid-point update of the 2018 session at a chamber of commerce legislative GOVERNMENT breakfast Feb. 16 at Conner Prairie. At the time of the breakfast, the Indiana Senate had passed the Sunday sales law, which would allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for carryout on Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. Since then, the Indiana House approved its version and was awaiting a final approval from the Senate and the signature of Gov. Eric Holcomb before final passage. The legislature also has approved or is working on approving bills regarding the opioid epidemic, K-12 funding and workforce development. Other bills weren’t passed. Senate Republicans killed a hate crimes bill, leaving Indiana as one of only five states without such a law. State Sen. John Ruckelshaus expressed disappointment that a bill couldn’t get passed but said a consensus wasn’t reached. Indiana Speaker of the House Brian Bosma assured the audience that the death of the bill wouldn’t have an effect on Amazon choosing Indiana for its second headquarters, but he was interrupted by an angry member of the audience. Another bill that would have merged approximately 300 of Indiana’s townships died in the House. There was resistance from smaller townships. The idea would have been to push townships with less than 1,200 residents to merge with a contiguous township in the same county. “This would have required smaller townships to have consolidated their neighbors,” State Rep. Jerry Torr said. “It would have eliminated government, and I was disappointed we didn’t have the votes to get it passed.” Lawmakers also addressed issues that dealt with local government control, such as state laws regarding Airbnb and small cell

towers. Bosma said legislators are trying to deal with emerging technology prudently. He noted the small cell tower law from last year, which allowed telecommunication companies to install small-cell boxes in a city right-of-way without a permit or fee. This allows greater use of broadband access in rural areas and 5G cellphone data. Bosma said there was a lot of misinformation about the small cell towers. “Last year, people were circulated pictures that looked like Volkswagon minivans on top of poles,” Bosma said. This year, about 80 municipalities made themselves exempt from the law by declaring a section of town an underground utility area. In some cases, almost entire cities were declared as such. Carmel was one of those cities. Bosma said mobile communication companies asked the General Assembly to void those laws, but they decided not to do that. He said a compromise might need to be reached. “I’m not exactly sure what the final compromise is,” he said. “But these boxes are like bread boxes, not bread factory boxes. You want 5G. I want 5G, and this is how we get it.”

“My midlife crisis wasn’t a sports car. It was a heart attack.” – dave r.

He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal. Living proof you’re never too old to learn. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

Master Gardeners to open seed library at CCPL By Lana Bandy news@currentinwestfield.com A new library is opening in Hamilton County in March, but you won’t find any books in it. OUTDOORS The Hamilton County Master Gardeners Association is opening the county’s first-ever seed library at Carmel Clay Public Library. “A seed library is a collection of openpollinated and heirloom seeds that you can borrow to plant and grow at home or in community gardens,” said Jennifer Lambert, SEEDS committee co-chair. “At the end of the growing season, some seeds are saved from the plants grown and then returned to the library.” The seed library’s grand opening is set for 2 p.m. March 4 and will consist of a presentation, a guest speaker, goodie bags, light refreshments and a ribbon cutting. Ben Cohen, who has opened more than 30 seed libraries in Michigan, will do a brief introduction and discuss how a seed library works, how the community participates and why community involvement is important. He also will touch on self-pollinating annuals and the easiest seeds to save and

return each year. The seed library will remain open until October. Anyone with a library card from their home library in Hamilton County (Carmel Clay, Fishers Hamilton East, Noblesville Hamilton East, Westfield Washington, Hamilton North or Sheridan) can check out seeds. Patrons may check out up to five packets of seeds per visit, for a total of 15 packets per season. The seed library is located next to the checkout desk on the first floor in a cabinet that resembles a card catalog. CCPL Reference Services Manager Chris-

tine Owens said the seed library is a great fit for Hamilton County. “Gardening books are very popular and gardening programs are always wellattended,” she said. “More people are gardening as a way to know where their food comes from. There is interest in sustainability, and saving seeds provides that, unlike hybrid seeds you buy at the store.

Saving seeds and using them year after year creates seeds that are better suited for your growing area. Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers have community gardens that are inexpensive to rent. Saving seeds saves money.” The seed library is the brainchild of Master Gardeners Lambert and Shelli Broadbent, who said they got the idea after attending the Master Gardeners’ Conference. They also were inspired by the popularity of the Indianapolis Public Library’s seed libraries at its Spades and Glendale branches. In conjunction with the seed library, HCMGA will offer four educational programs at CCPL this year. The first one will be 7 p.m. March 15, covering direct sowing of coolweather crops and soil preparation. Speakers also will touch on basic indoor seed starting of crops like broccoli, lettuce, kale, radishes, cabbage, peas and beets. The second program will be in May and will cover fertilizing and pest management. A summer session will focus on harvest season and seed saving. The final program of the year will be on how to put gardens to bed and cover crops. For the full story, visit currentinwestfield.com.

Chamber celebrates Valentine’s Day by highlighting local organizations NONPROFITS TAKING PART IN SHARE THE LOVE By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Habitat for Humanity

The Westfield Chamber of Commerce celebrated Valentine’s Day by spreading love to local nonprofits at its COVER STORY Feb. 15 luncheon. For the second consecutive year, the chamber put on the Share the Love luncheon. A total of 24 nonprofits set up display booths highlighting their organizations. Open Doors of Washington Township returned this year, and Treasurer Jerry Rosenberger said last year’s Share the Love event drew several volunteers for the Westfieldbased organization. “The main reason we came the first year and continue to return is there’s extra exposure here,” Rosenberger said. “We’ve learned over the years that people in the community don’t know what we do, and there’s a lot of members of the community here, and it allows us to spread the word about what we do in Westfield.” City leaders, business professionals and local residents attended the event. Chamber President Jack Russell said 165 people attended. Last year, 135 attended. Russell “This was our second annual Share the Love event. We put this luncheon on because two years ago we had heard from nonprofits that they were looking for volunteers and different businesses interested in giving money,” Russell said. “The interesting part was that we were hearing from businesses that they wanted to have their employees give back their time and the businesses wanted to donate money. With our goal of connecting people with people, we felt it was a perfect event.” Four new nonprofits joined the display this year, including Highlands Latin School, which plans to break ground in Westfield this summer. “We were hoping to introduce ourselves to the Westfield community,” Treasurer Susan Wible said. “Also, the school is involved with community projects where the whole school participates in a project to service Westfield,

and we were hoping to get businesses to support us in that.” Other new ‘Share the Love’ participants were The O’Connor House, American Cancer Society and Corporate Chaplains of America. Last year, Jill Doyle attended the event as a nonprofit vendor with the Hamilton County Leadership Association, but this year she attended as a luncheon guest from Westfield Washington Schools. Doyle said her mission last year was to showcase HCLA’s program. “It’s great to see all of the nonprofits in the Westfield community in one space,” she said. “It’s nice to highlight all of the nonprofits together as they are separate from the business community.” Russell said his goal at the Westfield Chamber of Commerce is not only connecting businesses with businesses but people with people. “We want the chamber to be a place where if someone wants to know what’s going on in the community and how to get involved, we are the place to go,” he said.

Nine nonprofits presented during the luncheon, including Westfield Youth Assistance Program, Westfield Youth Sports Inc., The O’Connor House, Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County, Trinity Free Clinic, Hamilton County Leadership Academy, Heart & Soul Clinic, Janus Developmental Services and Student Impact. “The nice thing about this is, to understand the business community thinks enough of the not-for-profits in our community that they have a special day for us, and it really links us with the chamber in ways we really appreciate,” Rosenberger said. Share the Love isn’t the only innovative thing the Westfield Chamber of Commerce is doing to unite the community. Russell said more events are planned this year, such as a June 11 golf outing at Chatham Hills. The next Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon is set for 11 a.m. March 15 at The Bridgewater Club. State Sen. Jim Merritt will be the speaker. He will address the opioid crisis. For more, visit westfield-chamber.org.

Scary trips to the devil’s commode

O B S E R V AT I O N What will they think? Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Grandmother always reminded us to keep our business to ourselves. Don’t air our soiled skivvies for all to see. And most of all, behave like the neighbors are watching. Perhaps we might think the constraint a bit too harsh for our modern lives. But, it did tend to emphasize the rightful difference between the public forum and a private life. We learned, rather clumsily at times, how to negotiate what is correct to discuss at the dinner table and yet not suitable for the same table in a neighborhood restaurant. Come now this time of social media and the instant news cycle to make identifying this imagined line even a much greater challenge. The quaint, if not a bit prudish, admonishment to behave well in public seems decidedly on its way out. Off-handed comments are recorded, clipped and used in all manner of unintended ways. Challenging our suppositions in the company of others is imperative to human flourishing. So, if we edit ourselves so that there is no private space, where do we explore our notions? A nearby large city council has been in the news of late. It seems that there are some leadership struggles. Moreover, a pair of its members have been accused of heinous predatory acts against children. We should know about these machinations and take great care in dispensing with them. But even as central Indiana joins in pursuit of an Amazon headquarters investment, what message are we sending? Can we find a way to fight our battles without vilifying each other? Or is honesty always the best policy? What do the neighbors think? And, should we care?

It’s official. Our master bathroom toilet has become a portal to hell. And I’m not just saying this because the HUMOR bottom is stained and partially corroded by hard water, impervious to scrubbing, Cloroxing and even CLRing. Nor is this charge the result of postDoo-use brimstone stench, which luckily “Poo-Pourri” and Lysol handle quite nicely. No, our commode is a gateway to Hades thanks to a motion-activated nightlight that makes the water emanate an eerie green glow. Courtesy of Doo’s co-workers who thought it’d make a hilarious birthday gift, I now face the prospect of evil incarnate at every 2 a.m. lavatory visit. And the experience is rather disturbing, actually, because each time the toilet “turns on,” it’s as if Satan himself is rising from the depths. So, there I sit, illuminated in all my natural glory, thinking, “If the girl from the Ring tries to crawl out of here, I’m done.” One positive effect, though, has been the reduction of midnight mishaps, like tripping over shoes and running into walls. Before the highway to hell light, navigating my way to the pot meant carefully placed footsteps and arms held out straight. But now that the devil can sense my presence as soon as I cross the threshold, all I have to do is follow the beautiful, alluring luminosity of my porcelain throne. Anyhoo, I guess the point is, if something odd or terrible should happen to me, check our master bathroom first. I mean, if the Amityville Horror family could have a well in their basement to welcome Beelzebub, it just seems fitting that we Wilsons would have a john. Peace out.

READER’S VIEW Stay-at-home parenting a blessing Editor, I am responding to Danielle Wilson’s column last week, entitled “Those were the (exhausting) days,” in which she commented on the long, hard days of having young children. I am currently a stay-at-home parent, after leaving my job in academic medicine a few months ago. After juggling 80-hour work weeks and two kids under 2, I longed to be able to actually see my children for more than an hour a day. I yearned to be able to spend time with them. In Wilson’s column, she instructs the readers to “offer words of condolences or assistance; or a bottle of scotch” to a mom if you see her in the dairy aisle with a cart full of kiddos. I used to work in a children’s hospital. I looked into the eyes of parents of critically ill children every day. They would give anything to be grappling their children in the dairy aisle. My toughest day with my children could never compare to the suffering and heartache those parents feel. She also references looking forward to her “5 p.m. goblet of Pinot.” At the medical center, I also worked with children of alcoholics and opiate-addicted parents. For this column to imply that parents of

young children need scotch or pinot to get through the day is sad and insulting to the career of parenting. It is also giving validation to a culture of turning to substances to deal with challenges. Deciding to be a stay-at-home parent for the time being has been a huge blessing and privilege. I am very aware that many people are not given this “choice,” and that many other people would rather not do it. I find great meaning in the simple time spent reading or talking with my young children. Our community of Carmel has great resources for parents of young children: Daily library story times, countless churches with MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) groups, award-winning preschools, numerous toddler programs at the Monon Community Center and wonderful toddler music programs at The Palladium. Instead of groaning and wishing this time away until we can “ship (our) angels off to school,” let’s celebrate this special time and support parents of young children in positive and healthy ways. These infants and toddlers are the future of our community, and we get the privilege to watch them grow. I would rather not be drunk for that. Jen Robinson, Carmel

EW NNEWTION OCATION LLOCA

For the past several years, I had the pleasure of reading my syndicated weekly humor column on WFYI radio. I HUMOR was listening to some old audio files and realized that, like so many other people, I don’t like the sound of my recorded voice. This reminded me of a dear friend I wrote about five years ago when he passed away, a man who really did have a voice for radio. John Gillis was as tall as a grizzly bear but as gentle as a teddy bear. The 40-year veteran of Indiana broadcasting was an iconic figure whose loyal followers looked up to him. “I guess being 6-foot-4 helps,” he joked. Each word that tumbled off John’s tongue was not only meticulously chosen, but it was savored by listeners for still another nanosecond before he went on to the next. “His 60-second traffic reports,” said longtime associate Jeff Pigeon at John’s funeral, “lasted about eight minutes.” John once remarked: “I have 20 seconds to do what I have to do, read a sponsor’s name, and then if I can figure out a way to

twist a word or inject my personality into it, that’s it — I’m a disembodied voice, and every 10 minutes I stop what I am doing and talk to my imaginary friends.” Radio was John’s best friend. “Everywhere you travel, it’s there. It takes you places immediately. It exercises your imagination,” he said. John regretted how media was changing. “We went high-tech and lost the high touch,” he told me. “Radio should be about content, character and personality.” “Big John” had many opportunities to leave the Indianapolis market and pursue a more lucrative career. That was not in his flight plan. His job was on the air and in the air, but his feet were on the ground. He loved Indianapolis. He was wedded to WIBC. Why break up a happy marriage? If you still hear his halting, yet mesmerizing, voice in your head, look to the heavens. No, he’s not in the helicopter, but he’s up there. Trust me.

Broccoli Bill’s to add home on property By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council approved a variance to allow construction of a single-family home DEVELOPMENT on the property at 15009 Gray Rd., the location of Broccoli Bill’s produce market. Broccoli Bill’s owner Bill Weghorst had to ask for the variance because all singlefamily homes are required to have frontage on a public road. Weghorst wants to construct the home in the rear of the property. The council approved the variance to face Holston Hills Drive, 6-0. Weghorst said his home will look similar to those in the Holston Hills subdivision, which his home will front. “I didn’t want my house back there tied into Broccoli Bill’s with access through Broccoli Bill’s, because what if I sell it? I still want to live in my house,” Weghorst said. Weghorst rents a home in Westfield. He and his wife are downsizing, and he said he wouldn’t mind living near his business’s property. He said he wants to build in September or October of this year. “We have to get the plans drawn up,” Weghorst said. “I’m 66, and we are downsiz-

Riverview to open 4 ER centers By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Riverview Health is expanding its services yet again in central Indiana in the form of four new facilities that will focus solely on emergency DEVELOPMENT and urgent care. The hospital, headquartered in Noblesville, announced plans to build four new freestanding emergency departments with urgent care services – one in north Carmel, west Carmel, Fishers and the Nora area of Indianapolis. All are expected to open in 2019. “As the area continues to grow, the demand for urgent and emergency services has, too,” Riverview Health president and CEO Seth Warren stated in a press release. “Often, when unplanned medical needs arise, there’s the question of whether or not to go to the emergency room. With the emergency and urgent care combination, patients will have a single convenient access point close to home and be treated accordingly with the same high-quality health care of our full-service hospital in Noblesville.” According to Riverview officials, the re-

tail model will focus on customer service and treating patients quickly, with limited paperwork. ER services will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while the urgent care hours will be 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. An ER physician, regardless of the level of service needed, will see all patients, who will be billed only for the level of care provided. “Many visits to the emergency department could be treated in an urgent care setting at a lower cost,” Warren said. “This model eliminates that discrepancy by billing only for the level of care needed, which has the potential to save money for patients, employers and communities.” For the full story, visit youarecurrent. com/?p=159206.

A heart-to-heart conversation Commentary by Mark Fisch February may be most associated with Valentine’s Day, but it’s also Heart Month and a great time to learn SYMPTOMS the symptoms of a heart attack. What are some lesser known facts about heart attacks? A common misconception about heart attacks is that they are painful, particularly in the chest. This is not always the case. Instead, you could feel pain or discomfort in your arm or jaw. You could also have nausea or unusual breathing. Men and women might also have different heart attack symptoms. The most common symptoms for men include pressure (chest discomfort), shortness of breath, discomfort in one or both arms, discomfort in the neck or jaw, cold sweat or nausea. Women might also have chest pain and some of the previously mentioned warning signs. More often than men, however, women might notice breathlessness, fatigue or that they just don’t feel quite right.

good blood supply at all times to function properly, and your coronary arteries supply the blood. Without adequate blood, the heart lacks the oxygen and vital nutrients it needs to work properly. This can cause chest pain. A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery becomes blocked, stopping blood flow to the heart muscle. If you think you’re having a heart attack, it’s important to remember that the moments following the heart attack matter the most. Call 911 immediately if you experience symptoms, and don’t drive yourself or loved one to the hospital. Emergency response personnel can start treatment on the way to the hospital. One of the reasons people don’t act fast enough is because they don’t think they are actually having a heart attack. For the safety of you and your health, if you experience any symptoms, seek medical attention.

ATI presents ‘Lillian Baxter & Friends’ By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkinl@youarecurrent.com “Dressing in drag isn’t something I necessarily enjoy,” singer-actor John Vessels said. “Gluing on false CONCERT eye lashes is like gluing on giant spiders. And the padding? I don’t have the right kind of Vessels curves. It takes a lot of scaffolding to make me look like a woman. “It’s a lot of work.” But it comes with the job. And it’s probably not what you are thinking. “Lillian Baxter is a lady all the way,” Vessels said. “She’s not a drag queen. They’re a little different in that Lillian is a nice lady.” Lillian Baxter, aka John Vessels, and three other “nice ladies” – totally females – will present the world premiere of “Lillian Baxter & Friends: We Enjoy Being a Girl” at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The Actors Theatre of Indiana shows will be at 7:30 p.m. March 9 and 10. Vessels describes the show as a “revusical” – part revue, part musical. “The show has a girl-power theme set in 1976, so wear your wide-legged pants,” Vessels said. “It’s a concert, a cabaret, with loads of comedy and lots of reminiscing about the good ol’ days.” Supporting Baxter are the fictional vaudeville Humperdink Sisters, friends

from Baxter’s showbiz past, and pianist Corky Weinstopper, Baxter’s third and favorite of her seven ex-husbands. A gay partner with Baxter’s pool boy, Weinstopper wears elegant pajamas when he plays. Weinstopper is actually Jay Schwandt, Vessels’ real-life partner who also arranges the music for all of the shows. The Humperdink sisters are all local – ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia

Collins and special events and entertainment coordinator for the Indiana State Fair Commission, Bobbi Bates – all standout vocalists. “The twist on our show is that the sisters haven’t realized they are not little girls anymore,” Vessels said. “They are trying to find their grown-up voices.” Vessels created Lillian as a has-been MGM movie star. Actually, he “stole” it from himself after he originally had set out to write the show for a female singer. Then one day, Schwandt asked Vessels if he thought the character could be played by a man. “Oh, maybe,” was Vessels’ response. “Then what we found out along the way was that I could sing in the same key as an Irish tenor and an old belter from the MGM days and Julie Andrews. I could sing in the old belter keys, so we wrapped the first show (there are now three) around that. From there I just made her up.” The final character was a mediocre 1950s-60s performer during the days at MGM, who advanced to a short TV career on such hit shows as the “Thrifty Vittles Happy-Time Song Hour.” Despite her failure to reach real stardom, that never stopped her from spinning her tales with never-ending pride and joy. “She is a classy dame, no matter the circumstance,” said Vessels, a familiar face on the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage. What Vessels likes most about portraying Baxter is the reaction he gets from the audience. “The crowds have been really, really responsive,” he said. “The shows are funny, but there’s also a lesson to be learned and a little heart to each show that kind of surprises the audience. When that dawns on them, well, watching that light come on thrills me.”

At 75, Ronnie Milsap has no plans of slowing down. “I’m always in the middle CONCERT of one ( a tour),” Milsap said. “I wouldn’t know how to stop.” Milsap will perform in his “A Legend in My Time Tour” at The Palladium, the Center For the Performing Arts in Carmel at 8 p.m. March 2. Milsap will perform all of his fan favorites, including crossover country “Smoky Mountain Rain,” “There’s No Gettin’ Over Me,” “What a Difference You’ve Made in My Life” and “It Was Almost Like a Song.” 
“They’re all special for different reasons,” Milsap said. “They’re like children. They all have their little story to tell, how I found a song, did I work with a songwriter or was it sent to me.” Milsap is enjoying performing as much as ever. “I have a wonderful band, a wonderful crew,” he said. “It’s very exciting times for me. I really love it. The audience plays a big role in that. Their enthusiasm makes me perform better. I love playing these performing arts centers. They seem to be just

The legendary performer is working on a new album and plans to have it out later this year. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Carmel Community Players, which has been in operation for nearly 25 years, is searching for a new home. THEATER On Feb. 14, CCP received a letter from Clay Terrace giving the theater group 30 days to vacate its space at the outdoor shopping mall. Clay Terrace has been the home for the small playhouse since 2009. It now needs to look for a new short- and long-term space for shows that are already scheduled. CCP will continue with its production of “American Buffalo” at Clay Terrace from Feb. 23 to March 4, but its April production of “Ragtime” has been moved to the Ivy Tech auditorium in Noblesville. It’s been shortened to two weekends because of larger seating capacity and will run April 20 to 29. Clay Terrace had given CCP a short-term lease at a fraction of market value, so CCP leadership has no animosity toward Clay Terrace. “While the timing of this announcement was sudden, it was not totally unexpected,” CCP President Tim Paramore said. “We knew that one day the competitive demand for space in Clay Terrace would force us to

move our playhouse. That day is now.” Clay Terrace will remodel CCP’s space and a few nearby spaces to accommodate new tenants. Several other displaced tenants had found other spaces elsewhere at Clay Terrace. Founded in Carmel in 1993, CCP is the oldest community theater group that was established in the city. It also is the only one that is completely volunteer-operated. Actors Theatre of Indiana and Civic Theatre are professional organizations with paid positions. “We have enjoyed having Carmel Community Players as a tenant and important part of our Clay Terrace community over the past eight years,” said Jennifer Jones, Clay Terrace’s area general manager. “We have offered assistance in helping Carmel Community Players find a new location. We wish them the best as they find a new home and continue to provide quality entertainment to the community.” Phipps said CCP was prepared to announce its 2018-19 season at its May meeting, but details might change. He said it has shows in mind but those could change depending on the size of its new space. The hope is for a minimum of 4,000 square feet.

ZWest musical rolls into town By Heather Lusk editorial@youarecurrent.com The Wells Fargo Wagon is coming to Zionsville West Middle School. With a litany of faPRODUCTION miliar songs ranging from “76 Trombones” to “Ya Got Trouble,” the student production of “The Music Man Jr.” will be at ZWMS March 9 and 10. The family friendly musical is set in the quiet Iowa town of River City in the early 20th century. “The people of River City fear what they don’t know,” director Lynne Manning said. “A stranger coming to town is the catalyst for change.” The stranger is played by eighth-grader Jake Stevenson, who describes his character, Harold Hill, as “a charming con-man” who convinces the town residents to invest in a marching band. “You see these people change their ways,” Stevenson said. “Harold makes the town interesting.” The company includes 63 middle school students working on and off stage.

The show will be at Zionsville West Middle School March 9 at 7 p.m. and March 10 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets at the door are $5 for students, $8 for adults and $25 for a family.

Featuring a menu that offers a variety of entrees, this eatery will satisfy that barbecue craving. Whether you’re dining in with the family, catching the big game or carrying out, you’ll enjoy Rackz BBQ. What to get: Bring an appetite for this one becauase portions run big. What I found to be the most appetizing was the combo platter, the brisket and pulled pork. There are three sauce choices: sweet, tangy and spicy. I lean tangy. Add baked beans and fries for sides and a Wee Mac for your beverage. What’s the cost: Entrees run $12 to $27.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modernized Meridian-Kessler kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This 1920s home is in the historic Meridian-Kessler neighborhood. The owners have been in this beautiful home for many years with the intent to make it their “forever home.” It just needed a few updates to make it perfect home for them!

The main focus of the kitchen remodel was to open up the space and make it function better for the owner while creating a cohesive design that flows nicely with the rest of the home. 1. One of the largest changes came from enlarging the footprint of the kitchen by expanding into the butler’s pantry. This created more space in the kitchen and allowed for better flow. 2. Another major change came from replacing all of the cabinetry and countertops, in addition to adding a built-in island for counter space. 3. The backsplash was replaced with a traditional white subway tile laid in a herringbone pattern, and a stainless steel rangehood was added above the stove, giving the space a modern yet traditional look. 4. For more details, visit out blog!

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The kitchen was not only dated but lacked overall functionality. It was very small and connected to the rest of the home by two narrow doorways. The lack of open space made it hard to utilize the kitchen to its full potentional.

Jewish village reconstruction Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to Israel wanting a glimpse of Jewish rural life 1,500 years ago should make a trip to Katzrin Park, a reconstructed Talmudic village on the TRAVEL outskirts of the modern city of Katzrin, the unofficial capital of the Golan Heights. Beginning in the third century A.D., Jewish farmers built about 27 villages in the fertile area northeast of the Sea of Galilee. One of the most important villages was Katzrin, located above an active spring. In the sixth century, residents of Katzrin built a magnificent synagogue over the ruins of their earlier place of worship. Like the other buildings in the village, the two-story synagogue, with two rows of columns, was erected from basalt, a volcanic rock found throughout the area. Katzin and its synagogue were destroyed in 749 by a massive earthquake, and the village was eventually buried and forgotten. The ruins of Katzrin came to light in 1967 during Israel’s Six-Day War, and its ancient synagogue was soon uncovered. Archaeolo-

gists began restoring some of the buildings. Today, about 10 percent of the original village has been excavated and is open to the public as an open-air museum. Some of the buildings, including a two-story house with a sleeping room upstairs, have been completely restored and appointed with period-appropriate furniture and supplies. Although the synagogue, popular for weddings and bar mitzvahs, has been only partially restored, visitors looking at it through a special viewer can envisage its original design. Costumed guides speaking English and Hebrew are happy to describe Katzrin’s history and buildings. An ancient wine press and olive press are again operable, and demonstrations of wine and olive oil making are available in season. With the same ticket, visitors can explore a museum in modern Katzrin displaying archaeological discoveries from throughout the Golan Heights. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com.

For once, it’s not the millennials getting the blame for the downfall of civilization. Today, I’m GRAMMAR GUY blaming Apple. But the good news is — if anyone from Apple is reading this column (I’ve heard Grammar Guy is big in Cupertino) — they can fix this with a quick update to their iOS. Last year, Apple’s autocorrect feature had a hiccup: When people typed in “I” it would autocorrect to “A.” A couldn’t believe what A was seeing. Fortunately, enough people brought it to Apple’s attention that the company that gave birth to Siri (or was it the other way around?) fixed the bug in an iOS update. As an iPhone user, I can’t speak for Android- or Windows-based phones, but Apple’s autocorrect gets confused when I type plural days of the week. Sometimes it adds an unnecessary apostrophe and sometimes it leaves Tuesdays alone. And, remember my apostrophe philosophy: Apostrophes are like sentence confetti, adding a fun flair to your scintillating syntax. But a misplaced apostrophe is

like confetti at a funeral – inappropriate and impossible to undo. When I type “I like to eat waffles on Fridays” into a text message, Apple’s iOS correctly leaves my sentence alone. However, when I type “I hate Mondays almost as much as Garfield,” autocorrect changes Mondays to Monday’s. In this instance, Mondays doesn’t have ownership of anything? If you use a non-Apple-based smartphone, let me know if your autocorrect feature does the same thing for you. The tricky thing is, texting “Did you see last Monday’s episode of ‘The Bachelor’” is correct, but, “On Mondays I watch ‘The Bachelor’ with my trusty box of Franzia” also is correct, and my autocorrect leaves both alone. So, it seems like when you type pluralized days of the week on their own (i.e., I hate Mondays), Apple’s autocorrect incorrectly apostrophizes my texts. Can someone call or text Apple and let them know? Curtis Honeycutt is a freelance humor writer. Have a grammar question? Connect with him on Twitter @curtishoneycutt or at curtishoneycutt.com.

DISPATCHES Direct vs nonstop flights — If you don’t want to worry about catching connecting flights, you might book a direct flight assuming that this will take you directly to your destination. A direct flight, however, just keeps the same flight number all the way to the end, regardless of stops in between. Instead, book a nonstop flight so you won’t have to make connections.
