Lindley Run could bring affordable housing to Westfield

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At its Sept. 10 meeting, the Westfield City Council heard a proposal for an affordable housing development DEVELOPMENT called the Lindley Run planned unit development. It consists of 107 acres to the east of Grassy Branch Road between 191st and 196th streets.

If approved, the development would be divided into three districts, including 133 single-family, detached units; 60 duplexes; and 240 for-sale townhomes. The townhomes’ prices would begin at $150,000. The duplexes would begin in the low $200,000s.

The single-family homes, including ranch and two-story styles, would begin in the mid$200,000s and stretch into the $300,000s.

Prior to the proposal, City Council President Jim Ake provided data on affordable housing in Hamilton County. According to the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis, 41 percent of county residents have incomes that limit the purchase of a home to $200,000 or less.

However, the median closing price on a new home in the county is $336,000.

“In our township, there are only 15 homes for sale in the $160,000 to $240,000 price range. That is very low inventory,” Ake said.

“Westfield is working to be a place where families can grow and prosper, offering a variety of entry points into our housing market. As we grow, the economy is in need for

workers. This project will offer the current and future workforce an opportunity to live in Westfield. The lack of affordable housing is a regional problem.”

Council member Steve Hoover raised concerns of teachers and public safety officials being unable to live in Westfield. Homes in the $150,000 to $200,000 range require a salary greater than $50,000 a year.

“Some of the things I have noted as we delved into this housing situation a little bit is that many of our teachers and public safety workers and other workers, even people that work for the city, can’t find housing in Westfield,” he said. “As we continue to grow and as we continue to attract more businesses, employees are critical to those businesses. We are certainly offering housing, but we are not offering what I would call workforce housing.”

Amenities in the proposal include a fitness trail with fitness stations, a picnic shelter, a community fire pit and a playground. The development would offer housing for firsttime home buyers and empty-nesters who are looking to downsize, among other home shoppers.

After the presentation, Hoover suggested the developers look into adding a swimming pool. The public hearing for the development is scheduled for the 7 p.m. Oct. 1 Advisory Plan Commission meeting at Westfield City Hall, 130 Penn St. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

NSPIRE holds grand opening

Indianapolis

Top Dentist

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A little more than two years ago, Imagine Church and CitySpring Church joined forces to create NSPIRE Church and began conducting services once a week at FAITH Oak Trace Elementary School.

Now, after a multi-year fundraising campaign, NSPIRE is hosting a threeweekend grand opening at its new brickand-mortar church at 18097 Sun Park Dr. Part of an abandoned lumberyard, the oncedecaying building was restored and began hosting services around Easter as work progressed. The building is now nearly complete and hosted the first in a series of grand-opening events Sept. 16. Other events are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Sept. 23 and Sept. 30. The Sept. 23 event will be a team-spirit Sunday and Sept. 30 will be superhero Sunday.

“We are a real diverse group of people with a broad spectrum of backgrounds, beliefs and experience with church,” Formation Pastor Brad Ruggles said. “That’s one of the things we love is we came together on the idea that we could be better together and we believe as a church community there’s a lot more to bring us together than divide us.”

Engagement Pastor Matt Gaylor gives a sermon in the new NSPIRE Church building. (Submitted photo)

The name NSPIRE was derived from the word spire.

“Spire literally means life, breath or wind,” Engagement Pastor Matt Gaylor said. “When you’re inspiring someone, you’re breathing life into them, and it’s our hope that when people come here, they feel like they’ve had life breathed into them.”

The pastors adopted the church name by figuratively breathing life into the lumberyard.

“It was an old, abandoned space and we were able to breathe life into this building,” Ruggles said. “It’s an ongoing example of breathing life into our church and our community.”

Hamilton County opened its new morgue Sept. 10 at Riverview Health in Noblesville. It has 20 beds, including two for COUNTY homicide victims. The new facility is roughly four times the square footage of the old morgue, which had only two beds.

On average, seven bodies occupied the old morgue at the time. As a result, funeral homes often assisted in storing bodies before the new facility opened.

The new morgue has two rooms – a body cooler and an autopsy suite. There are 18 beds in the cooler. The homicide victim beds are in the autopsy suite. The purpose is to limit the chain of custody to coroner personnel and hospital security staff. The original morgue had a two-person cooler for homicide victims locked by a key, but the coolers weren’t stored in a separate room.

The new facility cost just above $1 million.

Hamilton County Commissioners contributed approximately half of the funding.

Other additions include a separate viewing area for families to identify the deceased through a window. Stainless steel accents are covered to provide a less cold feel to the process. Previously, families would identify the person in the one-room morgue. The new viewing area will be used as an exam room for the day clinic, when the viewing window will be covered.

“I’ve told my office and the guys that work for me that we are public servants and we want to serve the people in this

community with dignity,” county Coroner John Chalfin said. “We want to ensure the family has a softer blow.”

The viewing room will limit situations where family members may smell an unpleasant odor because a wall and window separate the family and the deceased.

“We have patients that are burned or decayed, and you don’t want that to be the last thing family members remember,” Chalfin said.

Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman said the viewing room is sensitive to family members’ emotions.

“It takes into account that it is a very difficult process for the family to identify (a loved one), and (the viewing room) is very sensitive to that problem,” Altman said.

The viewing room also allows family members of different faiths to observe their traditions.

“There are different customs when it comes to death,” Chalfin said. “We’ve done our best to accommodate those different customs and serve the best of the county.”

A death becomes a coroner’s case if it is an automobile accident, a suspicious death, an act of violence such as a homicide or a suicide, a drug overdose or an unattended death.

“We speak for the dead and try to smooth over that transition from life to death,” Chalfin said.

The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office is expected to handle more than 475 deaths this year.

Team wins state championship

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Four teams from central Indiana have won the United States Tennis Association Midwest Section state champiTENNIS onships, including a Westfield team from the Bridgewater Club. The team won the title Aug. 12.

Team captain Katy Rhinehart said she founded the team after playing in a summer recreational league.

“Some of us had just picked up a racket in the last two months, so I formed a group of friends to have fun matches and started getting competitive,” she said. “Then this past spring, there became interest in joining a 2.5 team at the Bridgewater.”

The format for USTA’s 2.5 leagues is one singles match and two doubles matches.

“A lot of us are moms with young kids, and there are very few sports with women outside of high school and college,” Rhinehart said. “Besides golf, tennis is the obvious choice to merge exercise, social and fun together.”

During the Midwest sectionals, the team was undefeated before losing the sectional championship to a team from Illinois.

From left, Siby Hill, Lindsay Forrest, Mary Peers, Christin Barber and Michelle Dudash are members of the Bridgewater Club’s United States Tennis Association team. (Submitted photo)

Rhinehart said the team originally started practicing once a week but practiced every day toward the end of summer.

“It was a really emotional season but in a good way,” she said. “Never in a million years would we have thought we would have such an incredible season.”

Rhinehart said the team improved dramatically throughout the season.

“To have women play their heart out on the court was inspiring,” she said. “We started something for all of us that will last a lifetime.”

The team plans on returning again for next year’s tournament.

The most value for those you value most.

When you compare the costs of in-home assistance with a retirement community, you may be surprised that our community provides not only top-notch care, amenities, activities, housekeeping and dining; it’s also a better value.

BAGI’s Home-a-Rama returns

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis has featured Westfield neighborhood Chatham Hills in its EVENT annual Home-A-Rama event before, but this year will showcase a different section of the custom-built development.

“In 2016, they did a Home-A-Rama in the first section to kind of open up the neighborhood as a whole,” said Kristen Krempp, BAGI’s director of communications and special events. “This year, it’s back in Section Three, which is in the back of the property.

That’s a whole new part of the development that hasn’t really been touched yet.”

Six homes will be featured in the show.

Builders include Becley Building Group, Scott B. Campbell Custom Homes, Old Town Design Group, Arthur Rutenberg Homes (By Christopher Scott), Kent Shaffer Homes with Randy Shaffer Custom Homes and Williams Custom Art Builders.

The event runs from noon to 8 p.m.

Thursday through Sunday from Sept. 20 to Oct. 7. Tickets are $15 in advance or $18 at the door. Children 12 and under are free. The ticket booth closes at 7 p.m. each day.

“These are custom-built, fully decorated and landscaped homes,” Krempp said. “I think the work Chatham has put into the property is stunning, particularly in Section Three.”

Typically, Home-A-Rama showcases trends in technology and design, and Krempp said she expects outdoor living trends to be showcased because Chatham Hills is built around a golf course.

“I think people will be pretty impressed with what they see,” she said.

Suburban Indy Shows will present the second Home and Outdoor Living fall show and its third show since movEVENT ing the home and outdoor living series to Grand Park Events Center. The show runs from Sept. 20 to 23.

Founder Donell Herberer said vendors will take up 90 percent of the leased space inside the event center. Last year, vendors only took up approximately 65 percent of the space. There will be an increase of approximately 40 vendors this year.

“The Colts training camp just finished up out at Grand Park, so I think that helps the visibility of Grand Park as well,” Herberer said. “It’s on everyone’s radar now.”

New this year will be a plant sale.

indoor spaces, marketplace artisans and local fall businesses with homemade goods will be part of the show.

“One of the big selling points, since it is 100,000 square feet, it’s very doable in a couple of hours,” Herberer said. “In essence, you can come and talk to a professional you want to work with and it doesn’t have to consume your entire day.”

Tickets are $5 if purchased online before the show or $10 at the door. Show times are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 20-22 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 23.

BZA postpones voting on greyhound variance

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After receiving input from the public and from attorney Gary Sallee, the Board of Zoning Appeals has delayed voting PETS on a variance that could allow for a kennel in the Villages of Oak Manor. Voting has been delayed for 30 days.

Sallee represented resident Juliana Robertson. During his presentation, he said the variance wouldn’t create a kennel as commonly known to the public, but it would allow more than three dogs to live on Robertson’s property at one time.

The permitted uses for the Oak Manor planned unit development allows three or less pets per property. Robertson owns six senior greyhounds. The proposed variance is for two years.

“These dogs will be kept in an immaculately kept home as they have been for the last 11 years,” Sallee said. “All of Julie’s dogs are from a dog she previously owned that has (died). These dogs that she has have become her family, and they are family to one another.”

Sallee explained the dogs sleep 20 to 22 hours a day and that Robertson lets them out in pairs or in threes to not disturb the neighbors. She feeds them a raw, homemade diet of organic beef, grain and vegetables.

During the public hearing, several veterinarians and others spoke in favor of the BZA granting the variance, but other neighbors didn’t agree with Sallee’s statement of an immaculate home. Deanna Truitt lives in a house near Robertson’s, positioned so that the Truitt family can see into Robertson’s yard.

Truitt said when she and her husband first purchased their home, she was on the patio when Robertson approached her

“nonchalantly trying to discuss that she had dogs.”

“Until this (variance) came up, she would never say how many dogs she has,” Truitt said. “We have done improvements to our property in order to block out some of our view of what we had to deal with. This is an ongoing problem. It stinks to high heaven.”

Robertson is making improvements to her yard, and Truitt said Robertson only allows the dogs on one-third of her property while the improvements are being made.

Robertson previously picked up the dogs’ waste and stored it in a container in her yard but has since moved the container to her garage.

Ed Higgins, chairman of the Villages of Oak Manor Steering Committee, said he is concerned if the variance is passed, other variances will be passed to allow for other dog breeds that may be more aggressive.

“The applicant goes to great lengths describing how quiet and docile her dogs are, and that may be so. However, we have concern about how granting this exception may be creating a precedent,” he said. “What if another owner in our Villages of Oak Manor or somewhere else in Westfield asks for an exception for rottweilers or pit bulls or some other aggressive breed?”

Some BZA members had concerns regarding the amount of evidence required to approve a variance. Even if the BZA approved the variance, it wouldn’t overrule covenants established by the HOA, and the HOA may then file a lawsuit against Robertson.

BZA President Bob Smith suggested Sallee and Robertson return in 30 days after they try to reach a compromise with the HOA, and then the BZA would consider voting on the ordinance. Another public hearing will not be held.

Residents move from California, Las Vegas for resort-style living in Chatham Hills

Cruising through the Chatham Hills development to the southwest of Tomlinson Road and 203rd Street affords landscape views not commonly seen in COVER STORY Westfield.

The Chatham Hills development, a project by Westfield resident Steve Henke, features an 18hole championship Pete Dye golf course; a nine-hole par 3 executive golf course; custom homes; rolling hills with ravines; and touches of history throughout. A 65,000-squarefoot clubhouse with a swim-up pool bar, three restaurants, a four-lane bowling center, a sledding hill and other amenities is under construction and slated to open this month.

“That’s really what we’re doing here, is building an exclusive, resort-style community,” Henke said.

As a result, Chatham Hills is attracting more than Indiana residents. People from Las Vegas, California, Chicago and other areas across the U.S. are attracted to the neighborhood. Chatham Hills residents Curt and Linda White moved in a year ago after living in Southern California for 14 years.

Their 25-year-old daughter Maggie also lives with them.

Maggie has Down syndrome.

“I was just telling people recently, we lived in California for 14 years and we’ve been here a year, and I feel more at home in this neighborhood than I did in California after 14 years,” Linda said. “It’s just a great community.”

Linda is a member of the Women’s Golf League at Chatham Hills. Curt is a member of the Men’s Golf League. Last year, the women’s league had six members. It now has 30.

“It’s really caught on,” Curt said.

Prior to living in California, the Whites lived in Minnesota.

One of the reasons they returned to the Midwest was to expand their social horizons.

“It was really hard to connect with people (in California),” Curt said. “That was the main attraction coming here. But we just started to see the development around the golf courses, and now certainly with the clubhouse being built,

this is going to be probably one of the nicest communities you could live in with all the amenities.”

Henke, however, is doing more than building an exclusive neighborhood in Westfield. He’s tying in history with the Lindley Farmstead, which was renovated by Henke Development Group into an event venue. Historic artifacts, such as a portion of a fence from the 1800s, have been added to the topography throughout the golf course.

In addition, two beehives have been installed on the Chatham Hills property. The bees pollinate the plants throughout the development and produce honey.

“We have beehives for pollination and will have the first 30 to 40 pounds of honey this fall,” Henke said.

The hives were established with four pounds of bees in May, which equals 8,000 to 10,000 bees. Now, there are

Steve Henke of Henke Development Group also developed the Bridgewater community, beginning in 2002. He and his wife reside in Bridgewater but are selling their home so they can move to Chatham Hills.

Land was added to the original Bridgewater community, and some construction is still ongoing. For the future of Chatham Hills, Henke said condominiums or townhomes are a possibility.

Henke He’s also developing a Cape Cod-style apartment complex with 260 units. The complex will begin construction this fall.

Another Henke Development Group project is the Grand Park Village, which will include multi-tenant buildings with restaurants and shops on the water. Four restaurants and a day care center have already signed leases. Henke said he expects the development to take up to 10 years to complete. close to 30,000 bees between the two hives.

“They really help all of the flowers,” Agronomy Manager David Hardesty said. “They help pollinate everything. We are playing our part in being environmental stewards and keeping the bees alive.”

Property development began in 2015. Three hundred of the approximately 700 lots are already sold. Approximately 240 homes have been built or are under construction. Prices range from $500,000 to more than $2 million. Henke said he expected the project to take six to seven years to complete.

“This is going much faster than we anticipated,” he said.

“We are already opening sections we didn’t think we’d be opening until three years from now. I think all the amenities and location and topography with the rolling hills, we just don’t have that in central Indiana.”

Determining policy

ESSAY Trust in trust?

Commentary by Donald Rainwater

Commentary by Terry Anker A thoughtful strategic planning process places high importance on, identifying and agreeing upon some statement of the work’s objective.

Such sentences are often called missions, impact statements or visions. Of such importance, are these declarations of an organization’s purpose and goals that our own nascent nation pulled together a Committee of Congress on July 4, 1776 to design a seal for the United States. Those good people included the motto E pluibus unum (translated from the Latin – Out of many, one – we are all in this together, so trust in each other).

Although the motto was never adopted independently from the Great Seal, it did unofficially hold in the intervening 175 years from 1782 until 1956 when Congress decided to declare “In God We Trust” as our maxim. Mostly appearing on U.S. currency, the dictum became more relevant as our nation abandoned the gold standard of underwriting our money, moving instead to a system largely based in trust of the federal government. Scores of political, academic and financial leaders have debated, and continue to review, the efficacy of the shift. Trust became the central element to our economy.

Even as the crime rate in our state’s largest city hits record levels, local law enforcement routinely laments the reluctance of citizens’ trust in partnering with it to identify perpetrators. But the data reveals that the past several decades have been tough on faith. Still, can a society survive without it? Can trust be extorted or only earned?

And even if we trust in God, can we be expected to do the same for Uncle Sam? In a time when our confidence is strained, how do we find our way back to conviction? Is trust enough, or is it the only thing?

Snow place like home Commentary by Danielle Wilson My husband Doo is in the midst of planning a short ski vacation to Michigan for our six-pack this January. He is HUMOR super excited about it because he loves skiing and he loves family. Bonus: three of his siblings are joining the party, along with their kids! Shared bathrooms, dangerous physical activity and freezing cold weather! Yeah, count me out.

I’m serious. I told Doo I wasn’t going. I’m not a huge fan of repeatedly hurling myself down frozen mountains in order to justify an evening Jacuzzi and hot toddy. I much prefer the beach, where the wind doesn’t hurt your face and the only potential hazard is a portly man-in-Speedos sighting.

Plus, it’s my birthday that weekend and this little adventure is quite literally at the bottom of the Great Ideas for Celebrating “47” list. As a middle-aged working mom, quiet is my drug of choice. Deciding which Net-

flix show to binge-watch is about as much sport as I can handle. And my ideal gift is to be left to my own devices in a space where I can keep an immaculately clean kitchen 24-7. Three days with in-laws, bruises and the inevitable fatigue-induced bickering, on top of unavoidable hypothermia, is a proven recipe for Cuckoo Land. No. Just no.

So, I am staying put, by myself, in cornfield-flat, moderately less chilly Indiana. Doo is disappointed but understands. We are different people with different needs, and far be it for him to stand in the way of my dream birthday. Besides, Doo gets a dream fulfilled, too, a ski trip with family! Truly winwin, with my win being warmer.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.

-Robert Browning

During the past few years, our state’s government has taken several steps toward increasing its role in controlOPINION ling the education of our children while significantly diminishing the parental role.

Within the past two years, the Indiana General Assembly has passed legislation to convert the Indiana Supt. of Public Instruction from an elected office, which it had been for more than 100 years, to an appointed office. By doing so, the legislature revoked your right to vote for a duly elected official, implying that the governor is more qualified to determine who makes education policy. Last year, the General Assembly dissolved the duly elected school boards in Gary and Muncie, giving control to government appointees.

Yes, both of those school districts were having financial issues. However, I believe these issues were allowed to grow in severity because parents have been conditioned to defer to government to hold schools accountable. As a society, we have accepted the idea that government dictates education funding and policy.

Duly elected school boards and school district administrations should be determining local education policy, in conjunction with parent-teacher organizations, not federal or state government. For the full column, visit currentinwestfield.com.

Icy relationships Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My sister just returned from a vacation in Iceland. She learned that the biggest issue men have with women in HUMOR Iceland is not that the ladies are frigid. The men can be a little frosty themselves — but temperature is relative. The person they meet at the pub could actually be a relative.

Not a lot of people summer in Iceland, largely because summer lasts about four hours. As a result, swinging singles often end up together not realizing that some of their ancestors were swinging from the same family tree. Most Icelanders hail from a group of ninth-century Viking settlers whose descendants are still on the island, except those who went to Hollywood to make Capital One commercials.

Wedding planners and family reunion organizers compete for the same guests. Online dating services in Iceland try hard to match people who enjoy spectator sports, hunting and moonlight walks, and have different grandparents.

Recently, software engineers produced an app that features a “bump” function.

Potential lovers tap phones together to

see how closely they are related. If it’s a genetic match, an “incest alarm” sounds.

With 22 hours of sunshine each day from May through August, if you are looking for things that go bump in the night, you have less than two hours to make your move on a potential kissin’ cousin.

One user commented he regretted it wasn’t released earlier: “If I had access to this service last year,” he wrote, “I probably wouldn’t have gone home with a relative.” The operative word is “probably,” because pickins for eligible women are slim in Reykjavik.

One resident, Arnar Freyr Adalsteinsson, says he seldom uses the bumping feature: “I just use common sense. Even if the girl is hot, if her name is Gloria Freyr Adalsteinsson, I am going to be a little wary.”

The application only works for Androids.

I’m no expert on human sexuality, but if you’re an android, it’s probably safe to go home with anybody you want.

Gary Gibson was born in America, but his wife, Laddawan Siriwong, was born in Thailand. They married four RESTAURANT years ago. The Westfield residents first met in Thailand and their shared dream has been to open an authentic Thai restaurant in the city.

Last month, their dream came true when they opened Thai & Go at 2796 E. 146th St. “We offer authentic Thai food and it’s a full-service restaurant,” Gibson said. “We decided to open this and give it a try on our own. I had retirement coming up in a couple years and wanted something to occupy our time with.”

Gibson said the restaurant can seat up to 50 guests inside and 25 on the patio. He said food from Thai & Go also is available through Door Dash.

Gibson said the cooks are from Thailand, so the food is truly authentic. Guests can choose from a 0 to 4 level of spice for their dish. The level refers to the amount of hot peppers added to the dish. Thai & Go offers lunch and dinner menus.

“They cook food fresh on the spot. It’s not

DISPATCHES Music and menu choices — It’s no secret that restaurants use colors, lighting and music to influence diner’s food choices.

Now a study suggests that theory may be fact. The study analyzed customers’ food choices during periods of loud, upbeat music and during periods of quiet music.

When the music was quiet, customers made healthier menu choices than when the music was loud. The takeaway is that you should focus on the healthy choices regardless of the noise level.

Actors return to perform same role in Carmel Community Players’ ‘Forever Plaid’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com “Forever Plaid” has a forever feel for all four of the actors.

Rich Phipps, Syd Loomis and MUSIC Howard Baetzhold performed in the same role together for 10 consecutive years. The fourth actor, Darrin Gowan, is joining the trio for the first time but played his same role in 2003 for another theater.

The Carmel Community Players will present the musical from Sept. 21 to Oct. 7 at The Cat Theatre in Carmel. The three actors performed in the show together at CCP the first time in 2001. They then reprised their roles for nine years at different venues, primarily for fundraisers.

“The groups are modeled around the groups of the ’50s, like The Four Aces, The Four Freshmen and the Four Lads,” said Phipps, a Carmel resident who is the producer and plays Frankie. “The name ‘Forever Plaid’ is a take-off on the Four Lads. We are supposed to be high school students in the ‘50s and we all met in the audio/visual club. We started rehearsing in the basement of Smudge’s family plumbing supplies company. We start performing at school dances, bowling alley functions and weddings. We’re on our way to pick up our new tuxedos for our first big concert at the airport lounge in Pittsburgh.

We were side-swiped by a bus of girls that was on its way to see The Beatles on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ in 1964. We were killed instantly.

“Metaphorically, it was out with the old music and in with the new. Through some holes in the ozone layer and so forth, we are able to come back in 2018 and do the show we never got to do.”

There are 29 songs from the 1950s and ‘60s, including songs from groups like the harmony quartets along with Perry Como and Harry Belafonte.

“We always figure the cast of ‘Forever Plaid’ can be any age as long as they look like they might have all gone to high school together,” Phipps said. “It’s got some bittersweet moments. It’s got a lot

Sandy Baetzhold, Noblesville, serves as the director, musical director and accompanist. Her husband, Baetzhold, plays Smudge.

“I was musical director when we did it in 2001, and after that we kept it together,” she said. “We averaged doing it once or twice for the next nine years. I sure never thought I’d do it again, but I’m happy that I am. This is a perfect venue for the show.”

Loomis, a Cicero resident, performs as Jinx. Darrin Gowan, from Indianapolis, plays Sparky.

“I’m the asthmatic second tenor leader,” Phipps said. “We all have our foibles.

Sparky has a retainer and has a bit of a lisp. Jinx has a nose-bleed problem when he sings his high notes. Smudge is dyslexic and has a stomach problem.”

Gowan said his character is the baritone.

“He thinks he’s the funny one and ladies’ man, although it doesn’t turn out that way,” Gowan said. “It was just what the popular music used to be when you

saw ‘The Perry Como Show’ or “The Andy Williams Show.’ My parents played this music like I play classic rock for my kids.”

Loomis said his character is shy and timid and is Sparky’s stepbrother.

“The high notes are getting higher with age,” Loomis said.

Phipps said they expected a younger crowd to audition for the roles this time, but it didn’t happen.

“I wasn’t going to be in it. I was going to co-direct it with Sandy,” Phipps said.

“After two nights, it became apparent I should audition, and we got some of these other guys. Darrin had already auditioned.”

MSP honors first responders

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com For most Americans, the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center evoke graphic images of THEATER fire, fear, death and destruction.

Although moved by the same recollections, Kate Hinman wants to show the less visible but no-less Wallyn powerful side of the cataclysm, one in which everyday human beings — rescue workers, in particular — had to cope with the grievous aftermath.

That’s the focus of “The Guys,” a Main Street Productions, Inc. play that begins an eight-show run Sept. 21 and concludes Oct. 8 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W Ind. 32.

“When people hear the date ‘9/11,’ the immediate inner visions are the towers coming down, the dust in the streets, the after-horror of the first responders searching to recover victims and thousands upon thousands of pictures and messages posted near the site in and around New York,” said Hinman, the play’s director. “‘The Guys’ brings the experience to a much smaller,

personal experience between two people who talk about first responders framed as all of us.”

Written by Anne Nelson, “The Guys” tells the story of a newspaper editor, Joan, who helps a FDNY captain, Nick, prepare eulogies for eight firefighters under his command who died when the Twin Towers collapsed.

Joan is played by Julie Aiello Wallyn, a Kokomo resident and Westfield Playhouse veteran. Nick is played by Joe Aiello, a former Fishers resident who recently moved to Indianapolis. He is making his Westfield Playhouse debut.

Wallyn and Aiello are the only cast members in the one-hour production, which includes a post-show “talk back,” where the audience is invited to stay for a conversation with the cast and crew.

“It’s a real honor to be able to play this role and to try to portray one of these guys that was involved in this situation,” Aiello said. “It’s intimidating but it’s rewarding.”

All first responders who make a reservation at westfieldplayhouse.org and present an ID will be admitted free.

Oca’s King Roland sandwich features meatballs nestled at the bottom of a bun, blanketed by roast corned beef top round, onion, mushrooms, red sauce and smothered with melted provolone cheese.

Pair it with a Wee Mac Scottish Ale. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Oca

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Inside Sun King Spirits taproom and distillery, 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel What to get: King Roland Price: $10.95 Anna’s take: I ordered the King Roland sandwich. It burst with flavor as soon as I bit into it. It’s a souped-up meatball sandwich, but the bun never got soggy even though I took my time consuming it. Meatballs nestled at the bottom of a bun are blanketed with roast corned beef top round, onion, mushrooms and red sauce. The entire sandwich is smothered in melty provolone cheese. All ingredients harmonize with the others. The sub would be perfect to enjoy on a cooler day as fall approaches while sitting on Sun King Spirit’s rooftop patio.

Oca is one of four restaurants inside Sun King Spirits, a new taproom and distillery just off the Monon near downtown Carmel.

Sun King Spirits features the emerging concept of food halls, where multiple eater-

ies with different menus are housed within one establishment. Guests pick their table, and a server takes their drink order. Guests then enter the eatery within the food hall from which they wish to order. Oca is on the first floor. Dishes are sausage-based.

It also offers charcuterie boards. Oca is a food-service collaboration between Smoking Goose and Sun King. In the Italian and Spanish languages, oca means goose. Smoking Goose acquires its meats from small, local family farms with naturally raised, antibiotic-free stock that is vegetarian-fed without gestation pens.

Suggested pairings: A pint of Sun King’s Wee Mac, a Scottish ale that pairs well with the warm, rich depth of the King Roland.

Behind bars: Mermaid Water Get it at Pure Eatery, Fishers Ingredients: 1 oz. Captain Morgan rum, 1 oz. blue curacao, 1 oz. melon liqueur, 1.5 oz. pineapple juice, splash coconut rum, splash of lime juice, sprite, orange wedge Directions: Add all ingredients but Sprite and orange wedge in a mixing tin, shake to combine. Pour into a glass, top with Sprite and garnish with an orange wedge.

Church hosts Greek festival

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Greek food favorites will return during the annual St. George Orthodox Christian Church Festival. The festival will EVENT be from 5 to 10 p.m. Sept. 21, 1 to 10 p.m. Sept. 22 and 1 to 5 p.m.

Sept. 23. Admission is free. Parking is available for $5 at Journey Lutheran Ministries, 10401 E. 116th St., Fishers.

The festival will feature a Middle Eastern band, hourly dances and food booths with items such as lamb shanks, falafel, gyros, kibbe, kafta, spinach pies, grape leaves and desserts. Food is homemade by church members. Guided church tours will be available to view its architecture and Greek iconography. Vendors selling jewelry, art, olivewood crafts and other items also will be on-site.

The festival’s goals include community outreach, allowing the St. George community to work together in harmony and raise funds to pay off the church’s mortgage.

Last year, the event raised $40,000.

Although the festival showcases Greek and Middle Eastern favorites, the church embraces all culture with regard to its membership.

Rami Elsharaiha prepares gyro meat at a previous St. George Orthodox Christian Church festival.

Although masses are spoken in English, some portions are spoken in Romanian, Russian, Greek, Spanish and Arabic. Nearly 50 percent of church members speak two or more languages, including Rowa Mercho.

Mercho is from Demascus, Syria. She immigrated to the United States in 1994. Last year, she went on a church pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where her faith was reignited.

“I’m Orthodox. I grew up Orthodox and always had that faith and feelings and I love the Byzantine music, but I cannot describe the feelings when you go to Jerusalem,” she said. “Spiritually, you get lifted up. I just cried.”

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to perform

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s rich repertoire will be on display during its concert stop in Carmel.

CONCERT “We’re going to play, ‘Buy For Me The Rain,’ which was our very first single in 1967, and then we’ll be playing songs from the album we did a couple of years ago,” founding member and singer-guitarist Jeff Hanna said.

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Palladium. The group visited the Palladium in March 2016 as part of its 50th anniversary tour.

Ross Holmes, who plays fiddle and mandolin, has played with Mumford & Sons and Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers.

“He’s a fine picker. We’re glad to have him aboard,” Hanna said.

The other new member is Hanna’s son, Jaime.

“He played with a great band called The Mavericks for a while and most recently has been playing with a great country singer, Gary Allen,” Hanna said. “When John McEuen left our band last year, it gave us the opportunity to change things up and we’re just having a blast.”

From left, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band members Bob Carpenter, Jim Photoglo, Ross Holmes, Jaime Hanna, Jimmie Fadden and Jeff Hanna. (Photo by Glen Rose)

McEuen left to focus on his solo career.

McEuen joined the band in 1966 when Jackson Browne left after a few months to concentrate on a solo career. The band released its first album in 1967.

Hanna said the new members have energized the band, which also include original member Jimmie Fadden and Bob Carpenter, who has been with NGDB since the late 1970s.

“We are having the best time every night and there is a lot of musical discovery going on,” Hanna said.

After the tour ends in November, Hanna said they plan to get into the studio to create new music.

My favorite (fad and trendy) things Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard

homeowners to consider the amount of “return on enjoyment” their decision to remodel will provide rather than just the potential for a return on their investment. The length of time you plan on staying in your soon-to-be remodeled home often affects scope and material choices. For maximum ROE, we encourage decisions that evoke a more timeless design aesthetic rather than the trendy. We try our best to help our homeowners avoid fads whose ROE is equally fleeting.

Harvest gold kitchens and purple shag carpet; Bright yellow bean bags and glowing lava lamps; Carpeted bathrooms and giant Jacuzzis; These are a few of my favorite things.

Nearly everyone cringes at the memory of having one or more of these icons in their home. Even though they may bring back fond memories of bygone eras, most would say these were not exactly aesthetically timeless decisions. These were certainly all fads. A few of them held on long enough to have been considered trends. Some of them are even coming back for another trip around the block. None of them could be considered timeless, but at the time they often provided great enjoyment. They may still conjure up fond memories.

We are often asked if a particular design decision, or if an entire remodeling project, will provide a good “return on investment.” We prefer to ask our

The Children’s Museum Guild’s 5th Annual

When the tile cracks, when the door leaks; When I’m feeling sad; I simply remember my favorite fads; And then I don’t feel so bad.

We look forward to helping you stay home and be moved.

A toast to objects Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Heated floor in Masada’s bath house. (Photos by Don and Jen Knebel)

Masada’s royal bath house Commentary by Don Knebel Masada, located near the eastern border of Israel, is Israel’s second-most popular tourist destination, each year attracting almost 1 million visitors. For TRAVEL many, the most interesting thing to see is an elaborate bath complex built by Herod the Great.

In 37 B.C., the Roman Senate appointed Herod the King of Judea, a position he held until he died in 4 B.C. Known to Christians for ordering the killing of male babies in Bethlehem at the time of the birth of Jesus, Herod is known to history for his massive building projects, including the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and an artificial harbor on the Mediterranean coast named Caesarea Maritima.

To protect himself and his royal entourage from the constant threat of insurrection, Herod built a number of fortresses around his kingdom, the most famous one at Masada. Atop this isolated and rocky plateau in the Judean desert, then reachable only by a winding narrow path, Herod built two palaces, the northern one a three-

tiered structure more than 100 feet tall offering a spectacular view of the Dead Sea. Near his palaces, Herod constructed a fourroom Roman bath. After changing clothes in a room richly decorated with frescoes, royal bathers entered a room where air heated in a furnace was blown beneath a floor supported on posts, heating the entire room and causing bathers to perspire. After entering an adjoining room where they were scrubbed clean and oiled by slaves, bathers entered the final room, where they doused themselves in a pool of cold water.

Masada was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001. Today, Masada’s bath complex has been partially restored and models show how it looked during the time of King Herod. Visitors not wanting to climb the so-called “Snake Path” to the top can ride a cable car.

Let’s face it: Fancy toast is the new cupcake. My friend Melvin is thinking about opening an GRAMMAR GUY artisan toast bar in SoNoHoBro, the hippest area of town that you haven’t even heard of yet. If he wants to make some dough in this endeavor, Melvin can’t just loaf around all day. And, if you ask me, this seems like as good a time as any to better understand direct and indirect objects.

As an aspiring new business owner, Melvin needs some money. So you might say something like, “Melvin secured a loan from the bank.” In this sentence, “Melvin” is the subject. The subject of a sentence is the noun that is doing or being something. A direct object is a noun that receives the action performed by the subject. What did Melvin secure? A loan.

“Loan” is the direct object.

Suppose Melvin’s toast bar, The Toast Office, is now celebrating its grand opening, and he’s hired his brother Kelvin to be the senior jam spreader. Although Mel thought it would be fitting to attempt the

ceremonial ribbon cutting with a butter knife, it didn’t work out very well. As a result, Kelvin carefully handed the giant scissors to Melvin. In this sentence, “Kelvin” is the subject. “Scissors” is the direct object because it is the noun that receives Kelvin’s action. “Melvin” is the indirect object. An indirect object (Melvin) is the recipient of the direct object (scissors).

A few weeks later, The Toast Office is the white-hot epicenter of SoNoHoBro’s cultural scene. Mel and Kel have modified their toasters to make the springs superpowered, and the customers are encouraged to catch the toast on their plates (think Benihana, but with hot bread). The toaster propels the artisanal toast to the customer. In this sentence, the “toaster” (subject) propels the artisanal “toast” (direct object) to the “customer” (indirect object). I think we’re getting the hang of it now.
