ClearObject CEO and Salesforce leader examine hacking concerns

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers-based ClearObject CEO John McDonald knows computer hacking is a frequent concern.

It was one of several TECHNOLOGY issues examined by McDonald and Dan Fowler, Salesforce director of customer success, during a Westfield Chamber of Commerce session on technology July 19 at The Bridgewater Club in Carmel.

McDonald said the risk that it will be misused by people is inherent in any technology.

“It’s really important as business owners and leaders to try and apply intelligence and logic to this problem,” said McDonald, whose company is an Internet of Things systems innovator. “I completely agree if you are relying your entire business on that box in the closet and the network cable, you should talk to somebody professionally about how to make that better for yourself.”

McDonald offered an analogy to separate the difference between real and perceived security issues.

“If a security issue is real, there’s any number of ways that we can solve the problem technologically for you and make that security risk be reduced or eliminated,” McDonald said.

“If that security risk is just a perception issue, no amount of technology can be applied to dealing with a perceived security issue.”

McDonald said when ordering a book on Amazon, customers often have concerns about typing in credit card numbers. However, McDonald

said people don’t think as much about restaurant servers taking a photo of a credit card.

“The reason you feel different is even though it’s brief and not meaty, you develop an interpersonal relationship between you and the waiter,” McDonald said. “People can’t trust computers yet. They can only trust other people, so you feel that way about Amazon because they can’t see the people behind Amazon and it’s inherently untrustworthy. Which of these two systems is more secure? Amazon, by far. But your mind perceives it as exactly opposite.”

Fowler, whose company is a leader in cloud computing, said many people are afraid of artificial intelligence.

“It’s not ‘The Terminator,’” Fowler said. “You have tons of data you’ve gathered over the years from customers, and what you do and what they do. Instead of just running a report and looking back at the numbers, it’s starting to look forward, and in an unbiased look maybe what is the next best move or what should I be doing with my customers. What types of email marketing campaigns, or phone calls (should be made), and what can we do better.

Artificial intelligence can help you make that decision before you even engaged.”

Fowler said most companies wouldn’t hire a data scientist because of the cost.

“But if you use cloud-based technologies that do this, you can buy into a pool of data science technology and leverage those types of things to begin to take the next leap,” Fowler said.

F.C. Tucker real estate stats — Sale prices are on the rise once again in Westfield as homes return to spending fewer days on the market. According to F.C. Tucker, the average sale price for homes in the city was $342,934 at $132.68 per square foot in June 2018.

This sale price represented a 14.2 percent increase from June 2017. Homes in the city sold in an average of 35 days, 18.6 percent faster than June last year.

IndyGo launches Veteran fare cards — IndyGo and the City of Indianapolis recently announced the new Veteran Fare Cards, allowing veterans to ride IndyGo’s fixed-route service at no cost. To register, veterans must complete the enrollment process in person at the Julia Carson Transit Center, 201 E. Washington St., Indianapolis. Those interested must be able to prove veteran status with either a valid, government-issued photo ID and DD 214 certificate of release/discharge from active duty, or, a valid U.S. Dept. of Veterans affairs ID. Initial fare cards are $2. For more, visit indigo.net.

Summer produce donation program — The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District and The Farmers Bank have relaunched its annual program that encourages the public to donate fresh produce for county food pantries. Last year’s program provided more than 400 pounds of produce to people experiencing food insecurity.

Each Wednesday through Sept. 26, the public may drop off produce donations to The Farmers Bank, 16940 Clover Rd., Noblesville between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Mobile command center a staple at Colts Camp

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Westfield acquired the Mobile Command Center from Hamilton County in April, and Colts PUBLIC SAFETY Training Camp is the first event in which it has been activated.

The MCC is stationed at Grand Park for the duration of Colts camp. It coordinates security, safety and logistics, monitors emergency radio and online traffic and site activity and communicates directly with the National Weather Service and can dispatch fire, police and other resources as needed.

“During the first weekend of training camp, for example, we could monitor, from the Mobile Command Center, not only security and safety incidents but also the influx of cars,” said Rob Gaylor, deputy chief of planning with the Westfield Fire Dept.

“This allowed us to communicate with police and public safety volunteers on where to direct traffic.”

The mobile command center is permanently housed at the Westfield Public Safety building.

Energy costs — WalletHub recently published 2018’s Most and Least Energy Expensive States. Indiana ranked as the seventh highest energy expensive state in the nation. Rankings were based on energy consumption, electricity and natural gas prices and fuel consumption and prices.

“It has been a great asset at Indianapolis Colts Training Camp,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said. “We are able to have visibility and react quickly to what is happening on campus. It helps us from a public safety standpoint and allows us to deliver a great experience to Grand Park visitors.”

In 2007, the county purchased the MCC for $2 million, when it was planned to be used as a back-up dispatch center. Since

then, the county built a back-up dispatch center, and the MCC went unused. The agreement between Hamilton County and the City of Westfield states that Westfield will not purchase the vehicle, but instead staff it with personnel, provide storage and handle maintenance costs. Also, the city is required to deliver the MCC to any need outside of Westfield Washington Township.

John Aguilera presents at the 2018 Triple J Dinner.

Democrats hold event for three candidates

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Democratic Central Committee held a fundraiser dinner July 21 featuring three candidates.

POLITICS The event, called the 2018 Triple J Dinner, featured candidates Joselyn Whitticker, John Aguilera and Jim Harper.

Each candidate had a few minutes to present on their campaign platform. Whitticker, running for state auditor, said trust needs to be put back into government.

“We are on fire because we bring something to the table,” she said. “You empower each other, and that empowerment comes because of who you are. I’m running because you know I’m the only African American you’re going to see on that ticket, and I’m the only female you’re going to see on that ticket.”

Whitticker said everyone is important and deserves equal protection.

“I think we need to be transparent,” she said. “We need to put the trust back in government. Right now, my democracy and your democracy is under attack.”

Whitticker is a former Marion Common Council president and spent a 35-year career in education as a teacher and principal. She owns an instructional curriculum consulting business. For more on Whitticker and her campaign, visit joselyn4indiana. com.

Aguilera, who is running for state treasurer, said the local community will become better if quality Democrats are elected in November.

“This is an opportunity I do not take lightly,” he said. “There hasn’t been a democratic

treasurer elected in 39 years, and there hasn’t been a member of the Latino community ever elected. That’s going to change this year. I saw a need for the legislature to be more representative of Indiana’s diverse population.”

Aguilera said he plans to invest in resources such as E911, which is support for wireless phone users who dial 911.

“It expands the possibility of response in some of the most rural areas in the state,” he said.

Aguilera formerly served as a state representative from East Chicago. He served on the Ways and Means Committee and was vice president of the National Hispanic Council Caucus of State Legislators, was vice president of the Transportation Committee of the National Conference of State Legislators and served two terms as a Lake County councilman. For more on Aguilera’s campaign, visit John Aguilera for Indiana on Facebook.

Harper was not present, so his deputy campaign manager Ali Brown presented on his behalf. Harper is running for secretary of state.

“We are honest. We are going to tell you how we feel,” Brown said. “I can tell you right now, he’s mad. He’s mad that Connie Lawson, the current secretary of state, has not taken money from the federal government to secure our elections.”

According to Brown’s presentation, Harper plans to end gerrymandering, increase voter accessibility, ensure election security and support small businesses if elected. For more on Harper’s campaign, visit harperforindiana.com.

“I hope my ride not only inspires veterans but the civilian population so that they have an awareness of what the Boot Campaign’s Health and Wellness program is doing for veterans,” Raley said. “My biggest hope for all of this is awareness that there is an organization that does not see us veterans as broken people without hope, but to see us as fixable humans that once were strong and (are) capable of returning back to civilian life.”

ABOUT BOOT CAMPAIGN’S HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM Each participant is connected to crucial services according to individual need. Treatment and training programs include scientifically validated protocols for traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, self-medication and insomnia. Depending on the services needed, the estimated cost can reach up to $35,000 per participant. Ricky Raley’s goal is to support up to five veterans through Boot Campaign’s whole person – brain and body – approach to health and well-being.

Fincerdoodle657 claims near omnipotent insight into world affairs. Likewise, Catlovesdog4528 knows the movement patterns of extraterrestrials across North America.

Unidentified and unsolicited “comments” have proliferated on the digital streets of the modern media machine. With each internet article or blog post come countless retorts from those unwilling to put their actual names alongside their many opinions.

To wit, they push civil space to be anything but civil. In reaction, some good-intentioned, if a tad overzealous, among us are cutting free speech to the quick in an effort to put up some guardrails. Zero tolerance policies and expression laws of all sorts, marked by Byzantine rules and hopelessly inconsistent enforcement, leaves a chill over public discourse. Still, the intentionally disruptive manage to anonymously dump toxic waste into our public space without repercussion. The sewers of this internet overflow with secret and mislabeled opinion and diatribe of every sort.

Comedienne Roseanne Barr and pro athlete Colin Kaepernick stepped into the spotlight to publicly express their points of view, each for vastly different reasons. And to each, the world delivered a consequence.

Yet, their acts were undeniably their own.

Some 239 years ago, the founders of this nation chose likewise to sign their real names — many in bold, large letters — to a document demanding independence from, and incurring the wrath of, the world’s mightiest military power. In so doing, they took stunning risk and helped inspire countless others. Can Fincerdoodle657 do the same?

Summer colds are the worst. All I want to do is lie in bed wallowing in Netflix, Sudafed and self pity, but the stupid sunshine keeps mocking me: “It’s beautiful outHUMOR side! Come play! Or at least cut the grass!” Ugh. On a side note, I’m pretty sure my husband Doo infected me on purpose. He was sick last week and had to work while I slept late and wasted the day on Facebook, feeling absolutely fine. I know the irony of it drove him crazy. Had the tables been turned, I probably would have done the same thing, but I’m still aggravated.

At first, I tried to deny my illness, blaming the sneezing and watery eyes on allergies (never mind that I don’t have allergies, except a recent one to avocados, which I’m vehemently protesting). The next day the runny nose set up camp in my sinuses, and by the third morning, I was experiencing full-on headache and fatigue. I knew I was in bad shape when I tried to order photos at the nearby pharmacy, where I’d also pick up ginger ale and more drugs (I pride myself on efficiency, even in dark times).

I live within 2 miles of three different CVS stores, so when the cashier told me I was at the wrong place, I chalked it up to oversight. When the second store was also a no-go, I pulled up my email confirmation for the manager. She said, “You want East 126th. This is West 116th.” Jeeze-Louise, I wasn’t even on the right side of town! My 10-minute errand became a highly inefficient 45. In gorgeous weather.

Curse you summer cold!

Peace out.

READER’S VIEW Someone has to pay property taxes Editor, I just finished reading the article (Housing for All, Current in Westfield July 31 edition), and I’m literally scratching my head.

I believe that some of the people that are quoted in the article are the same people that fully supported the last property tax increase referendum in Westfield. That’s like praying for rain and then blaming God

for the puddles.

When you continue to increase taxes on property, someone has to pay – homeowner always and the renter eventually.

I know that this issue goes a bit deeper than that; however, voting for higher taxes equals higher costs of living for everyone.

“What is this?” Mary Ellen asked me as she dangled a doodad in front of my face. It was small, plastic and had an HUMOR odd shape. “It looks like it goes to something,” she said. “Do you know what?”

“No clue,” I said.

“Put it somewhere. It looks important.”

“So, you want me to keep it because we don’t know what it is for?” I asked.

“Exactly.”

“But if we did know what it was for, we’d also keep it. So, I guess we keep everything.”

She said, “Don’t be silly ­— some things don’t go to anything. We can throw those things away. We should only keep things that look important.”

I stared at the thingamajig Mary Ellen unearthed. I was certain nothing in our house required anything quite like that. But there is only one way to be sure it was not important: Throw it away.

I had a small window of opportunity left to retrieve it, if necessary. It would be two days before the trash was picked up, enough time to rescue the thing when

I realized I had thrown away something important.

I heard the familiar sound of the garbage truck on Friday. Whatever that thing was, it was now gone forever. Just a matter of time before I found out what it was for. In fact, it was the very next day.

“Dick, I need that thingie I found last week. It’s the hook that attaches to the vacuum to wrap the cord around. Where is it?”

“At the city dump.”

“You threw that away? Didn’t you know it went to something?”

“Yes, I knew it went to something. I just didn’t know what it went to. So, I threw it away. That’s how you find out.”

Later that day, I removed my desk drawer and emptied the entire contents: wooden knobs, old keys, pen caps, dozens of multicolored plastic parts, metal gizmos and a rubber whatchamacallit. I threw them all out. Within days, I would know what each thing was for.

Riverview boutique receives accreditation

news@currentnoblesville.com

The Women’s Boutique at Riverview Health has once again received a three-year mastectomy accreditation HOSPITAL by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics, Inc. The award recognizes organizations that provide products such as wigs, specialty bras and breast forms for women who have undergone chemotherapy treatment or mastectomies after a breast cancer diagnosis.

“We’re excited to achieve this accreditation again as it reflects on the high-quality care we provide and the great work our certified mastectomy fitters do to help patients physically as well as emotionally,” said Terri McCall, manager of the boutique.

“We’re really here to support patients who have gone through life-changing procedures, such as a mastectomy, to help them feel like themselves again.”

The award represents the highest level of accreditation achievable in the orthotics and prosthetics industry.

DISPATCHES Natural appetite suppressant — Research shows that a spinach extract, called Appethyl, can significantly reduce cravings and snacking. A teaspoon per day was given to women in the study and they lost 43 percent more weight than women in the placebo group. Appethyl is available online as spinach extract in powder or capsule form.

Source: BottomLineHealth.com New radiation technique — For patients with cancer of the left breast, radiation therapy can be dangerous because it exposes the heart and lungs to radiation.

New research shows that holding one’s breath during radiation can push those organs out of the way and protect them.

A machine assists with the process so the patient breathes properly.

Eyestrain relief — If you’re suffering from eyestrain, here’s a natural way to make your eyes look and feel better. Mix one ounce of the herb eyebright into a pint of just-boiled water. Let it steep for 10 minutes, then strain. Dip cotton pads into the tea and place them on your closed eyes

for about 15 minutes.

New research now shows another danger that comes with exposure to BPA. It appears that BPA also raises blood pressure, typically about five points in studies. It’s impossible to avoid BPA’s entirely but try to limit exposure by using glass containers rather than plastic.

Laser Flash of Carmel will build a new facility in Westfield through EdgeRock Development, west of U.S. 31 on Ind. 32.

The new facility will be a 50,000-square-foot enGROWTH tertainment center featuring Laser Flash, axe throwing, bowling, Cyber Sport, an arcade, an indoor ropes course, an outdoor miniature golf course, a restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor seating and more.

Laser Flash in Westfield will be the first Indiana location to offer Cyber Sport, a two-team game combining basketball and lacrosse.

It is played indoors on maneuverable Cyber Cars. Players use a onehanded scoop to move foam balls down the court. Goals are mounted on each end of the court.

According to a press release, Laser Flash in Carmel will continue to operate at full capacity until the Laser Flash in Westfield is complete and ready for occupancy. The new center will require approximately 130 employees, who will be trained at Laser Flash in Carmel.

Laser Flash in Westfield is planned to open late next year. When it opens, the Carmel location will close and all equipment and staff will shift to Laser Flash in Westfield.

Owner Peter Murphy said Westfield’s growth and proximity to Grand Park is what attracted him to the area.

“One of our markets is the tourist market,” Murphy said. “Our primary market is the families that live here locally, and other markets include youth groups and businesses, and the third market would be the tourist market. This would help add to that.”

Laser Flash in Carmel opened in 2002, and Murphy said he has searched for a new home for 12 years.

“The requirements were tough to find,” he said.

Anthony’s Chophouse to feature original Glass Chimney bar

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Many visitors to Anthony’s Chophouse will feel a touch of nostalgia.

The new Carmel resRESTAURANT taurant, which opens this month, will feature the Glass Chimney room, whose centerpiece is a mahogany bar. The room pays homage to the upscale Carmel restaurant, which closed in 2008 after 32 years.

Chuck Lazzara The building, 201 W. Main St., is owned by Chuck Lazzara, co-owner of Ritz Charles. The restaurant is owned by his son, Tony Lazzara, and wife, Kayla.

“We had this vision Tony Lazzara probably six years ago to say wouldn’t it be nice if it had a little Carmel history in the restaurant,” Chuck Lazzara said. “Then we heard Bru Burger was going to tear down Glass Chimney.

We thought wouldn’t it be great to incorporate this bar into our restaurant downtown.”

Chuck Lazzara and his son met with the owner, Mike Cunningham, in 2014 to ask if they could buy the mahogany bar. Cunningham agreed because he didn’t have plans to use it.

“We thought we should try to save the bar for Carmel history,” Tony said. “It was more about dad going there and knowing about the bar and service. I think I had only gone in there once. I knew it was a cool bar everyone remembered, but I didn’t have a vision of it yet until I saw it. It’s beautiful and is tied into the design of the entire building.”

So, they had the bar taken apart by a master carpenter and moved it. Tony estimated it was around 100 pieces. The parts were stored in relatives’ homes before it was put back together at the restaurant. The master carpenter oversaw the

assembly.

“We did a light refinishing,” Chuck said.

“We didn’t want to change the character of it. We did a little of steel wool. It’s all the original stuff. We wanted to go with an old Chicago look, so we put this marble floor in. We designed the space to fit this.”

In 1998, Glass Chimney owner Dieter Puska, with a builder friend James Taylor of Custom Homes of Carmel, decided to establish the Glass Chimney Bar room. The mahogany bar was built the same year, and it became one of the hottest spots in Carmel. People entering the Glass Chimney would be greeted by the tuxedo-dressed Gabriel Piron.

“You’d go to the bar and hear what the $13 special for the night was,” said Chuck, a frequent visitor. “It was packed to the gills. My wife (Lynn) and I went there often, and we saw a lot of people from Carmel.”

Puska opened the original Glass Chimney restaurant in the Main Street shop-

ping center at Old Meridian Street in 1976.

In 1979, he moved around the corner on the Old Meridian Street to a larger spot he had to remodel.

Chuck Lazzara said Puska has offered to display his cognac collection at the bar.

“A lot of people we’ve shown this to have said they can’t wait to come back,” he said. “At first we thought we have it up here and have a bartender up here in case a few people want to drink. But everyone who has come in said they want to come up here, so that’s why we sectioned it off in its own space.”

Chuck moved to Carmel in 1975, working as a real estate agent before opening Ritz Charles in 1985.

A 2008 Carmel High School graduate, Tony made the feasibility of a downtown Carmel steakhouse his DECA project as a senior. He graduated from Ball State’s entrepreneurship program in 2013, using the steakhouse as his thesis.

Grateful wins Audience Choice award editorial@youarecurrent.com “Grateful” was one of four Indy Shorts International Film Festival Audience Choice Award winners.

The Indy Shorts Festival concluded July 29. All the Choice winners will have encore screenings at the Heartland International Film Festival, Oct. 11 to 21, in Indianapolis.

“Grateful,” which won for Indiana Spotlight, chronicles the story of Indianapolis resident Jenni Berebitsky, who suffers from ALS. Geist resident Amy Pauszek, who has her Where’s Amy photo column in Current Publishing Inc., was the film’s executive producer and producer.

“The reason this award is so prestigious is because it is a statement to the major film industry and its executives that our film is marketable, profitable and will go places after the festival,” Pauszek said.

Other Audience Choice winners were “The Happiness Machine,” directed by Rebecca Blumhagen for Documentary Short; “Alternative Math,” directed by David Maddox for Narrative Short; and “The Driver Is Red,” directed

by Randall Christopher for Animated Short.

CCP stages ‘The Kitchen Witches’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Genevieve Keegan-Bedano

Courtnie Janikowski had already developed an affinity for “The Kitchen Witches.”

“I was in this show about five PLAY years ago in my hometown of Columbus (Ind.),” said Janikowski, who will direct the comedy for Carmel Community Players. “I played Robi, the grunge, hipster camera person, so I had tattoos up and down my arm and I had blue hair. I brought this to CCP and said, ‘This show is hilarious. We need to do this show.’ They loved it, so here I am.”

This is Westfield resident Janikowski’s first directing effort with CCP, which will present “The Kitchen Witches” at The Cat Theatre, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel, Aug. 10 to 19. The play is about the members of a cable TV cooking show.

Janikowski has previously served as a stage manager with CCP and acted in “Ragtime” in April.

“A small cast is a lot of fun to build those relationships,” Janikowski said. “It’s tough because it’s a load-in show, so we have to do it all here and load it all over to The Cat. It’s definitely a prop-heavy show and a

food-heavy show.”

Tim Moore, Carmel, who has acted in productions at Grace Church and “Murder on the Nile” for Carmel Apprentice Theatre at The Cat, is a member of the four-person cast.

“This story, although it’s fast-paced and snarky, it has great values in it about how to redeem a relationship,” Moore said.

Plainfield High School student Sydney Heller plays Robi. The other performers are Gina Atwell, Avon, and Denise Fort, Indianapolis.

Westfield resident Dee Timi is producing the play.

For Chicago founding member Lee Loughnane, the passion to perform is still strong.

The trumpet player is one CONCERT of three founding members, along with Robert Lamm and James Pankow, still touring.

“We usually play 100 shows a year,” Loughnane said. “We still enjoy playing for people. To be able to do this 50 years later and have people come out and enjoy it at this level, there’s no reason not to do it.”

Chicago will be joined by REO Speedwagon at 7 p.m. Aug. 11 at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center in Noblesville. During the tour, Chicago performs its entire second album as its first set. The second set is all the other hits from the past, Loughnane said.

“When you put a show together, the intent is to make each and every one of them an event for the audience and something they can remember through the years,” Loughnane said. “They actually tell us that when we take pictures before and after the show. People tell us all the time that they remember a specific show back when they were kids.”

Loughnane, 71, said it takes more stamina

now to do the traveling than the show itself.

Despite selling more than a 100 million records, Chicago didn’t get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until 2016.

“We had started thinking it’s not going to happen,” Loughnane said. “But at the same time, we were on the road playing for full houses. We started thinking if we didn’t get in, why would it matter if we are doing something that a lot of people that are in there aren’t doing, which is still working.

But when (the induction) did come we had a great time with all the people at the show, the rehearsals and seeing the other bands.

It’s like winning the Super Bowl. It’s one of those things that can’t be taken away from you.”

A COMEDY BY

CAROLINE SMITH Adapted by DAVID IVES

THESE TWO TV CHEFS CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT...

BUT NEITHER ONE OF THEM WANTS TO LEAVE THE KITCHEN!

The Rail Epicurean’s Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern dish paired with a grilled baguette and fresh, locally sourced spinach salad. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Rail Epicurean Market Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 211 Park St., Westfield.

What to get: Shakshuka.

Price: $16.

Anna’s take: The Rail was constructed in an old barn, and the upstairs bar is reminiscent of what the barn may have been like before The Rail opened. A window in the upstairs bar overlooks Westfield’s popular Park Street and the patio. The restaurant specializes in farm-to-table meals, with many of the ingredients locally sourced in Westfield. I ordered the Shakshuka, a Middle Eastern dish comprised of tomato compote, herbs and spices, feta cheese and an egg.

The egg is cooked in the oven with the compote, then topped with mixed microgreens and parsley. The compote’s spices are mostly made up of za’atar, a Middle Eastern herb mix heavy in thyme and toasted sesame, and sumac, which has a lemony-flavor. The egg yolk is still runny, and the traditional way of eating Shakshuka is to break the egg, mix the yolk in with the compote and scoop the contents with a baguette.

To counteract the heaviness of the dish, it is paired with a spinach salad tossed with cucumber, tomato, radishes, red onions, olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper.

The salad is topped with mint, which adds a Midwestern twist.

The entire dish is vegetarian-friendly and can easily be made vegan by excluding the cheese and egg. The compote is full of flavor, but not spicy in terms of heat. The entire dish was beautifully presented on a wooden plank.

Suggested pairings: La Yunta Torrontes Argentinian white wine, a lighter beer such as a pilsner or a wheat or, for the cocktail drinkers, the Bramble Mule or the Gin Blossom.

Chef’s take: Co-owner/chef Toby Miles said he was taught that tasting a dish is the third step in eating one. The first is seeing the contents and tasting it with the eyes, which is why Miles said presentation is so important. He provided some tips for the home cook for plating a meal.

“Everybody eats with their eyes first.

Sight and smell are the biggest triggers for memory,” Miles said, noting that smelling a dish is the second step to eating. “When you plate something, you want all your components to be able to stand alone by themselves but complement each other at the same time. We like grouping to make the dishes pop a little bit more.”

Although every chef is different, Miles suggests using colorful ingredients, letting them stand out and adding a little bit of salt are all ways to turn a novice chef into one who is up and coming in the cooking world.

The guise of guys Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Central Section of Helsinki, Finland. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Helsinki: Beauty in the far north Commentary by Don Knebel Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, thriving amid its natural TRAVEL disadvantages.

In 1550, the king of Sweden, which controlled the area at the time, founded Helsinki as a trading village on a peninsula in the Gulf of Finland. The city began to grow in the 19th century after Russia defeated Sweden and took control of Finland. Today, Helsinki, with a population of approximately 650,000, occupies its original peninsula and 315 islands, connected by bridges and water transportation.

Located just 2,000 miles from the North Pole, Helsinki is, with the exception of Reykjavik, Iceland, the farthest north of all world capitals. For almost three months in the fall and winter, the sun hugs the horizon, providing about five hours of daylight. Winter temperatures rarely rise above freezing and temperatures of 25 degrees below zero are not unusual. Precipitation falls about 180 days a year, making Helsinki rainier than Seattle.

Despite its climate, Helsinki, always im-

maculately clean, is routinely ranked among the world’s most livable cities, having one of the world’s highest urban standards of living. The major sidewalks are heated in the winter. Residents not wanting to walk can take the efficient Helsinki Metro, the northernmost subway in the world. Four large indoor swimming halls allow yearround swimming. Four other pools provide swimming exclusively for dogs, one offering half-hour lessons. World-class museums and theaters provide extraordinary cultural opportunities for such a small city. And, of course, the ubiquitous Finnish saunas provide opportunities to be inside during the cold and dark days of winter. In 2012, Helsinki was named the World Design Capital for its innovative approaches.

Each year, at least 5,000 people move to Helsinki from all around the world. If you get a chance to visit this unique city, take advantage of it.

I love collective nouns. A collective noun is a name for the group of similar things. Well-known GRAMMAR GUY examples include a pride of lions, a colony of ants, a herd of cows and a murder of crows. Some of my favorite, lesserknown collective nouns are a tower of giraffes, a business of ferrets, a coalition of cheetahs and a prickle of porcupines.

What is the proper term for a group of people? You could accept a number of collective nouns, depending on context: tribe, nation, family or crowd. But, when it comes to everyday English, how do we refer to our group of friends?

We call them “guys.”

This term, in vernacular usage, applies to a group of male humans, a group of men and women, or a group made up entirely of women.

Originally, the term “guy” comes from Guy Fawkes, a 17th-century rabble-rouser who was involved in the failed Gunpowder Plot in England, in which a group of guys attempted to blow up the members of both Houses of Parliament, King James I, most

of the royal family and leading officers of state in order to establish a powerful English Catholic regime. I’ll spare you the rest of the details and cut to the chase: Their plan didn’t work. Fawkes got caught.

After Guy Fawkes’ notorious legend spread, the term “guys” came to be known as something similar to a “gang” or a group of “rebels” – bad guys up to no good. As the term progressed, its meaning shifted to something more positive, like “people on your team” or “friends you can count on.”

What do you say to your friends if you’re trying to get their attention? I would guess most of you would say, “Hey, guys!”

This is in no way the capital “G” grammar rule for a collective group of humans.

It’s my takeaway based on listening to how people, men and women alike, actually talk in 2018 America. So, I’m totally fine if you guys disagree with the Grammar Guy on this one.

Remove hair clogs — To remove hair clogs from drains when you don’t have a plumber’s snake, try using a long zip tie. Cut some notches into one end and push that end down into the drain. The notches will grab onto the hair and allow you to pull it back out.
