Preservation alliance hosts meeting on historic district

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Many residents know Westfield has a rich history, but the Westfield Preservation Alliance wants to enhance that DOWNTOWN awareness. The alliance has filed for the Westfield Historic Business District to be officially registered with the National Register of Historic Places.

However, the alliance received concerns from the public regarding what would happen if a resident owns one of the buildings in the district.

The alliance hosted Paul Diebold at a public information meeting Sept. 12 at the Westfield Washington Public Library to clear up any confusion. Diebold is the assistant director of the Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology at the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources.

Diebold, who also took questions from the audience, said the district is eligible.

“The short version is (the register is) the official list of places that are worthy of preservation,” he said. “It doesn’t mean they’ll all be preserved, it just means as a culture, as a society, we have agreed these places are historic.”

The alliance has been working toward the designation for several years but actively began pursuing it this summer. The district would be comprised of 55 buildings in downtown Westfield bordered by Penn Street to the north, Walnut Street to the east, Park Street to the south and Camilla Court to the West.

Requirements for a listing on the national register include events that transpired there, association of persons and design or architecture or properties which yielded information important to history. A property has to meet only one of the four criterions to be eligible.

Properties can have local, state or national relevance to history. Diebold said 75 percent of properties on the National Register of Historic Places are of local significance.

Diebold said local and federal tax benefits and grants could be available to properties if they are in a historic district.

Paul Diebold explains what it means to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places at a public information meeting Sept. 12.

“Twenty percent of what you invest in a building, if the building is on the national register, the owner gets to deduct that 20 percent on federal income taxes as a one-time benefit,” said Diebold, adding that 50-50 matching grants are available up to $50,000.

Diebold addressed misconceptions commonly associated with properties on the register.

“It does not restrict a private owner from altering their property,” he said.

Diebold cited a possibiiity of property owners painting their home pink if they aren’t happy about being placed on the national register.

“We are not able to swoop down in a black helicopter and stop them from doing that,” he said.

Diebold lives in a home on the national register and said he’s painted and upgraded his home without any remonstrance from the DNR. “We didn’t have to consult anyone about that,” he said. “When we did other repairs on the house, we didn’t have to consult with anyone with it being on the national register.”

There are 425 historic districts in Indiana, which Diebold said is not very many. Each of the state’s 92 counties has a county seat identified as historic along with many other historic districts within those communities.

“Being on the national register is really a point of pride,” he said.

Hines gets Colts MVP honor

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

YOUR LIFE

IN ASCENT.

-New, 3-Row Subaru Ascent. t drive at Tom Wood Subaru.

Matthew Hines has loved football for as long as he can remember.

He was able to play until FOOTBALL sixth grade, but after that his autism made it too difficult to continue. Yet Hines, 18, still follows the sport, especially the Indianapolis Colts.

Through a partnership between the Colts and Indianapolis-based Damar Services, which provides services to children and adults with autism and intellectual, developmental and behavioral disabilities, one Damar client is selected to be an MVP for each of the Colts’ home games. Hines received the MVP honor for the Sept. 9 opener against Cincinnati at Lucas Oil Stadium. He and three guests got to be on the field before the game.

“I will never get an experience like that ever again,” said Matthew, who lives in a group home and attends school at Damar Matthew shared the experience with his parents, Westfield residents Mickey and Tammie Hines, and a friend, who is a Damar graduate.

“The Colts did such a wonderful job and so did Damar,” Tammie said. “It was the ex-

perience of a lifetime for him.”

The day began with a stretch limousine picking up Matthew, his parents and his friend from Damar’s campus and taking them to the Colts VIP entrance, where they were met by a Colts representative.

Matthew said getting to see the players during pregame warmups was the best part.

“I’m a huge Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton fan,” he said. “We got an NFL-sized football, which I thought was amazing.”

COMMUNITY Lane restrictions will be in place on U.S. 31 from U.S. 38 to CONSTRUCTION the U.S. 31 bypass in Tipton County for pavement rehabilitation. Traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction during the construction. E&B Paving crews will patch asphalt and concrete, mill and resurface. INDOT encourages drivers to slow down and stay alert while driving near crews. Arrow boards and barrels will be in place to direct traffic around the crews.

The project began on April 30 and should be complete this fall.

INDOT will perform strip patching on Ind. 32 from Noblesville to Westfield. No road closures are anticipated, and the strip patching should be complete within a week.

INDOT also announced lane closures along one lane at a time down Ind. 32 for crews to improve and modernize traffic signals. Ind. 32 will be affected at Spring Mill Road, Dartown Road, Oak Ridge Road, Union Street, Grassy Branch Road, Gunthur Boulevard and Moontown Road. That project should be complete by December. Flaggers will be in place directing traffic.

A traffic signal will be constructed at Ind. 32 and Ditch Road. Utility relocations are expected to begin this fall, and turn lanes will be added next spring. The traffic signal should be complete by summer 2019. No road closures are anticipated for the early construction plans.

The Towne Road Improvement Project has begun, and Towne Road is closed to through traffic from 156th Street to 161st Street. The project should be finished in October. Three box culverts will be replaced and new ditches will be cut to facilitate better roadside drainage. Each travel lane will be widened by 2 feet, and grade adjustments along the road will improve line of sight.

A new connection that will link 146th Street to southbound Keystone Parkway is under construction. Lane closures are active on Keystone Parkway, and construction is expected to last through 2019.

A section of the Midland Trail from Union Street to Cherry Street will be closed beginning Sept. 9 for two weeks for the construction of a new sanitary lift station south of Mill Street to accommodate for the sanitary needs of future downtown development.

Construction is ongoing for Monon Trail Phase 7, which will extend the trail from 191st Street in Westfield to 216th Street in Sheridan. The trail is under construction and planned for completion in late October.

City to extend East Street from 196th Street to Ind. 38

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In 2021, the City of Westfield will begin construction to extend East Street from 196th Street to Ind. 38.

DOWNTOWN The city was granted $5.5 million from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization in May 2017 for the project.

The city submitted a call for projects to the MPO for the East Street extension in late 2016 for improving safety. As a part of the project, Grassy Branch Road will tie into the East Street extension so drivers don’t turn left on Ind. 38 without a traffic light.

The tie-in will remove the offset intersection between Grassy Branch and Anthony roads, split by Ind. 38. The city examined crash data for the intersection between 2012 and 2014 when considering the project.

Ten crashes occured during the two-year study. Three involved serious injury.

“This project does a couple of things,” City Engineer John Nail said. “It increases connectivity within our traffic system, which is good for traffic flow, and it will improve safety so (drivers) are not making that dangerous left turn.”

With the project going to bid in 2021, it should be complete by 2022. Nail said the project is taking time because the majority of funds are coming from MPO. “I know that sounds like a long way away, but as a part of getting that federal funding, there’s a bunch of processes we have to go through and regulations we have to follow to be sure we are being good stewards of those federal dollars,” Nail said. “That’s why there’s a lengthy process between now and when it will be constructed.”

The grant funds are for construction and inspection. The City of Westfield will supply

more funds secured from road impact fees for hiring an engineer for the project and acquiring right-of-way.

The extension will be a boulevard section with two one-way roads separated by a wide median.

“That median is wide for a reason,” Nail said. “In the future, maybe 20 or 30 years out, as traffic warrants it, we have the option to construct a second lane on inside in each direction.”

A path and bike lanes also will be part of the project.

“We are all about what’s known as complete streets,” Nail said. “We want to make sure we are not just catering to vehicular users but pedestrians and cyclists, anyone who needs to use the roadway.”

The extension also will improve traffic flow as development continues in the area.

A public information meeting was held Aug. 28. Another will be held in two or three months. The date will be announced on city social media platforms when set.

Woofstock helps save lives Commentary by Rebecca Stevens On Oct. 6, the Humane Society for Hamilton County will be celebrating our 10thannual Woofstock Festival and PETS Survivor Program Charity Walk at the newly renovated Nickel Plate District Amphitheater in Fishers.

Because we serve as both the Humane Society and Animal Control Facility for Hamilton County, we receive some of the most severely neglected, abused and injured animals imaginable. What many don’t know is that we fund 100 percent of all life-saving and emergency medical care for every animal that passes through our doors. It is our Survivor Program that makes this possible.

Sparkle, a dog, was abandoned by her owner. By the time someone found her and called the police, she had withered to less than half of what her body weight should have been, and she was in diabetic shock.

She spent several days hospitalized, and now she is recovering in a foster home.

She’s just one example of thousands who are alive today because of donations made to our Survivor Program and because people like you participate in our single-largest fundraiser for the program — the Woofstock

Lutheran pastor Duckworth to deploy as U.S. Army chaplain

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield’s New Joy Lutheran Church Pastor Chris Duckworth has to meet physical standards for his role COVER STORY as chaplain in the U.S. Army National Guard, but he won’t carry a weapon when he’s deployed to the Middle East early next year.

Duckworth joined the National Guard at 39 and never has been deployed. Now 43, the Carmel resident is the only chaplain in his battalion of 500 soldiers.

An armed soldier, known as a chaplain’s assistant, accompanies Duckworth because as a chaplain, he isn’t authorized to carry a weapon.

“We don’t shoot but we are soldiers,” Duckworth said. “We don’t qualify on a weapon. I’m not allowed to pick up a weapon and fire it. His (armed soldier’s) lane is shooting and my lane is spiritual care and drawing us to that higher power. I don’t know how to shoot and have no desire to.

It’s not my job.”

By joining the National Guard, Duckworth fulfilled a longtime ambition of serving in the military. In high school, he wanted to follow his grandfather’s footsteps and join the Marines, but his mother forbade it. Now, he gets to serve his nation ministering to soldiers’ spiritual and emotional needs.

“I had no idea there were chaplains in the National Guard,” Duckworth said. “It was a huge ‘a-ha’ moment that re-awakened a sense of call within me to military service, a call that I first heard back when I was a kid.”

Several members of Duckworth’s congregation served in the Vietnam War. They have supported him and shared details of their experiences.

“They’ve told me some of their stories, and we’ve spoken about what has changed, or hasn’t, in the military since their time in the service,” Duckworth said. “I am grateful for their moral and spiritual support and appreciate that when I’m overseas we’ll have some active church members who can understand what’s going on for me and my family.”

Duckworth isn’t well-versed in the traditions of denomination or faiths outside of

ago, to Indiana for my work. Some of those moves were easy, some were a bit more difficult. So, too, with this. Chris is pursuing his calling. He loves it and we support that.

We know it is good and important work.

Still, being apart for that long, it won’t be easy on any of us.”

the Lutheran Church, but he can support Muslim, Jewish and Christian soldiers in his own way. He provides religious support to soldiers regarding suicide prevention, emotional care and other non-secular support.

“An Army chaplain is an approved ordained religious minister to carry out a religious support function,” Duckworth said.

“I support Muslim, Jewish and Christian soldiers. (I support) every soldier I can to practice their faith. I am not Jewish, I am not Muslim, I’m not Roman Catholic, so I can’t perform all the rites and rituals those soldiers know, so I help them find the right religious support they need. I’m called to perform religious service or to provide for that religious service, and I love it.”

Duckworth also a tends the needs of nonreligious soldiers.

“My call, my faith, drives me to serve people, period, to put the needs of others before myself,” he said. “I am not less comfortable serving a Muslim soldier or a nonbelieving soldier. Not at all. I do it unflinchingly.”

Duckworth arrived at New Joy Lutheran Church in 2014, a month after he joined the Army. An interim pastor will serve the congregation during his one-year deployment.

“There will be some element of danger here or there, but I’ll be focused and I’ll be OK,” he said. “But it’s my family and my congregation that’s going to be dealing with some bigger adjustments. They’re sharing the sacrifice, and I’m so grateful they do.

It’s not just me who’s doing this, it’s (us) who’s doing this. My congregation is experiencing deployment, my family is experiencing deployment, and the Army couldn’t do it without them.”

Duckworth’s wife, Jessicah, is an ordained Lutheran pastor and program director in the Religion Division at Lilly Endowment, Inc. She fully supports him in following his calling.

“We’ve always believed in following our callings and supporting each other in our ministries, even when it wasn’t easy,” she said. “That approach has taken us from Philadelphia to D.C. to Minnesota and, five years

PREACHING IN FATIGUES One weekend each month, New Joy Lutheran Church Pastor Chris Duckworth preaches while wearing his army fatigues under his Lutheran pastor robes.

Combat boots protrude from his robes.

He comes straight from his monthly training and doesn’t miss his church services.

“I’ll be here on Sundays with my uniform on underneath my robes, and as soon as worship is done, I run right back to the armory and right back to duty,” he said. “That’s the normal rhythm.”

Early in his tenure as pastor, Duckworth spent three months away from the church to train as a chaplain with the National Guard. He spends two weeks during the summer at training in addition to his monthly weekends.

“New Joy called me to be their pastor knowing I would be in the Army National Guard and supporting that call and realizing at times there might be schedule conflicts, I might be pulled into training, that I would have this dual mission,” Duckworth said.

ESSAY Tough choices

LETTER

Brooks is a proven leader

Commentary by Terry Anker As youngsters, many of us would lament what it was we might decide to surrender during a religious observation of fast and penance.

For some, it was chocolate — milk or candy. For others, it would be the intentional deprivation of a beloved activity. The PlayStation or television would be switched off for a bit. Still, in most cases, our lives functioned largely the same. We tended to replace one indulgence with another. Although one can rightly say that the reminder of the sacrifices that led to the commemoration was present, which is good, in all, we suffered little.

In a conversation with a friend who recently found his way out of a rough patch, he lamented that he “could have lost it all.” While compassion led to an empathetic interaction, it begged the question: What really might have been lost? Surely, his was more intense than not being able to have an evening glass of chocolate milk. But can we lose our family? Can we lose our property?

Can we lose our health? Can we lose our sanity? Can we lose them all?

If the world were so ordered that each hour for 10 days we were required to sacrifice something we hold dear, how would we let them go? Could we? In most instances, we identify our top priorities and claim to stick to them. Still, we spend inordinate amounts of time attending the things that we believe inconsequential. So, if we turned this game on its head and thought about what we would sacrifice if times were truly tough, what would remain after 240 such choices? PlayStation, television, chocolate milk and candy might be easy. But what of the others? Is it more about what remains than what is lost?

Spartan existence Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well, I’ve gone and done it, friends. I’ve committed to a Spartan Race, which, for those of you uncool enough to HUMOR not be in the know, is a military-style obstacle course that hip millennials do for fun. Over the course of 3 miles, would-be Spartans climb, crawl, haul, drag, jog, jump, wade, swear, scream, hyperventilate, overheat and presumably weep, surrounded by smoke, mud, rocks and barbed wire. Hoo-rah!

I mention this only because two of my teacher colleagues and I completed our first couple of workouts this past week, and I am on my third day of not being able to walk properly. Descending stairs is literally agony. I can only get off the couch by rolling onto the floor. I considered using a roller to massage my quads but the mere thought of a metal bar touching my sore legs brought me to tears. This begs the question, “Am

I too old for such nonsense or did I just overdo it?” Let’s explore.

It might be my age. I’ll be 47 come January and don’t respond to physical exertion the way I once did. Despite decent cardio and a very close relationship with Aleve, my creaky knees and achy muscles persist in their conspiracy to destroy me. But I also may have taken on too much, too soon. I was in great shape earlier this year but then decided on a summer-long fitness sabbatical. Is it really surprising that after running suicides and stadium stairs with intermittent sets of burpees and walking lunges, I am semi-hobbled? I think not.

So, we shall see. Spartan Race, here I come. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air.”

— Nathaniel Hawthorne

Editor, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks fights for our interests, and she gets results for Hoosiers.

Brooks is focused on modern threats to our security. When ISIS and other terrorist organizations are looking for ways to use chemical and biological weapons, she’s advocating for legislation to strengthen our national response to deadly pathogens.

Closer to home, Brooks is working with colleagues across the aisle to ensure that women of all ages have access to life-saving mammograms.

Brooks voted in favor of more than 50 bills this summer to support substance abuse prevention, treatment, education and enforcement. During the last two years, she’s helped secure more than $20 million for substance abuse programs in Indiana.

She wrote a law to help veterans take full advantage of their GI Bill benefits, making sure that they can get and keep a good job when they come home.

Along with this impressive record, Brooks remains easily accessible to her constituents. Since January 2017, Brooks has held 20 public events to personally meet with constituents.

This record of accomplishment is why I’ll be voting for Brooks, a proven leader, Nov. 6.

Sincerely, Demetrick L. Baker II, Sheridan

Boxing in memories Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “What’s in here?” I asked Mary Ellen as I opened another carton the movers had deposited in our new home.

HUMOR “What does it say on the box?” she asked.

“STUFF,” I said.

“Well, that sounds like your labeling system, Dick. Years ago when we got new carpet, you did the packing alphabetically. The cat ended up in the same box as the computer.”

Then I realized this was not a box from our current move, but one unopened from two moves ago in 1985. Anything called “stuff” couldn’t be that important, right?

Inside was a huge stack of assorted business cards. On the top of the pile was: HABIBA BELLY DANCER (614) 253-XXXX I had no recollection of Habiba. Was she a friend from my bachelor days? Or a guest on a show I did in Columbus? Memories are just no fun when you can’t remember them. None of the cards’ names rang any bells.

In that same box was a huge envelope filled with newspaper articles sent by friends who know I love oddball subjects: • You can lead a cow up stairs, but not down stairs • A duck’s quack doesn’t echo • Smart people have more copper in their hair There were some wacky headlines: • Homicide victims seldom talk to police • Tight end returns after colon surgery Mary Ellen and I went to dinner with our friends Pat and Garry. I casually mentioned that a duck’s quack does not echo and that a cow won’t walk down stairs.

“Fascinating,” Garry said. “Where did you learn these things?”

It’s just stuff I picked up while thinking outside the box.

Indiana Conservatory Ballet members perform “Pulse.” (Photo by Renzulli Photography)

Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s ‘Pulse’ set for Basile Theatre performance

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Altona Yakovleva-Randall would listen to her husband, Daryl Randall, drum for fun around the house.

DANCE After a couple years of thinking about it, the Indiana Ballet Conservatory founding artistic director created “Pulse: Dance to the Beat of Your Own Drummer,” which debuted in 2012.

“Pulse” will be performed at 7 p.m.

Oct. 3 at the Basile Theatre at the Historic Atheneum, 401 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis. It hasn’t been performed in full in a few years.

The Carmel-based IBC ballet follows the evolutionary progression of a young boy, a percussionist, and a girl, a ballerina, who dream of becoming famous artists.

Yakovleva-Randall’s husband, who was a participant in the acclaimed National Association of Music Merchants percussion music show in Chicago, provides the percussion music.

“It’s a collaboration of contemporary ballet and percussion, and it’s just that journey on the way to the dream,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “My message to

the students is to never give up.”

The ballet emphasizes ways in which dance and music are intricately intertwined and the ways art inspires life.

Yakovleva-Randall said the decision was made by the board to bring back “Pulse” in the beginning of the summer.

“We usually have a show this time of year, but we didn’t have full production for two years,” said Yakovleva-Randall, who recently moved from Geist to Carmel.

IBC Executive Director Jenny Okamoto said by the time of the performance, IBC will have had 6 1/2 weeks to prepare for the show.

“The kids have been very busy,” Okamoto said.

The message is conveyed through music, dance, voiceovers and a slide show.

There are four performers for the leads at different ages. There are 35 dancers in the performance.

“It’s nice to support the Atheneum because they’ve made improvements,” Okamoto said. “It’s open-cabaret seating, so it’s a different setup.”

Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets are available at indianaballetconservatory.org.

Performance supports Indy Humane A portion of the proceeds from “Pulse” ticket sales and beverages will support Indy Humane. IBC board member Sue Ames is a volunteer with Indy Humane.

“The goal is to have an important project to each board member and to base our fundraising and outreach around that,” Okamoto said.

There will be an Indy Humane mobile adoption unit on-site.

Yakovleva-Randall has two dogs that join her at IBC. “I have three rescue dogs, so we appreciate what rescue organizations are trying to do,” Okamoto said. “It’s really nice with this fall production that we can offer it more as a giveback like we did when it was cancer research.”

Okamoto said Tito’s Vodka and Sun King are donating beverages.

“The Atheneum is pretty dog-friendly.

They actually allow dogs into their coffee shop in the lobby,” Okamoto said.

IBC holds a Halloween contest for dogs, and one is selected to appear in IBC’s “The Nutcracker” in December.

“Last year, we lucked out because we had two French bulldogs, so we got to splitcast our dogs,” Okamoto said. “I always feel like dancers and dogs go together.”

After breaking a box office record at The Cat Theatre in Carmel over Independence Day weekend, Magic Thread Cabaret is bringing its hit show “Katy Gentry: Judy Garland LIVE!” to downtown Indianapolis’ Mass Ave. Arts & Cultural District for a special engagement this Christmas season.

The District Theatre, formerly Theatre on the Square, will host a six-show run of the cabaret Dec. 7-9 and Dec. 14-16.

“After Katy’s success in Carmel, we’re eager for our audiences to enjoy a night of beautiful music in the intimate space of our Cabaret Stage,” stated IndyFringe Executive Director Pauline Moffat, who is managing The District Theatre.

Tickets are on sale for Dec. 7, 8, 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 9 and 16 at 4 p.m. at The District Theatre Cabaret Stage, 627 Mass Ave. in Indianapolis. Tickets, $30 for general admission, $25 for seniors (65 and older) and $20 for students with a valid ID, are on sale at indyfringe.org.

Noblesville — The Hamilton Harvest Festival will be held from 3 to 8 p.m. Sept. 29 at Hamilton Town Center. There will be live music, pumpkin carving, childrens entertainment, beer, food and a marketplace.

Carmel — The Carmel City Center Movie Night on the Plaza is set from 6 to 10 p.m.

Sept. 28. Viewers can enjoy a double feature beginning with “Sing” at 6 p.m., followed by “The Greatest Showman.”

Fishers — The St. Louis De Montfort Fall Festival is scheduled for 2 to 11 p.m. Sept.

Westfield teen performs in 3rd Carmel PorchFest

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Emily Rhodes, age 16, has been performing since she was 13.

Rhodes sang at her third MUSIC Carmel PorchFest Sept. 16 in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

The event, which recently added AAA Insurance as a title sponsor, has grown each year. Rhodes was one of more than 40 artists performing on 20 different porches.

“You get to meet a lot of cool and interesting people and, obviously, grow your fan base, which is great,” Rhodes said. “It’s a great atmosphere and environment.”

The Westfield High School sophomore, who is taking guitar lessons and Rock Ensemble at WHS, said she primarily sings folk, indie and country songs.

“I’ve performed locally around different areas,” Rhodes said.

Among the places she has performed are The Scoop in Zionsville, Grand Junction Brewing Co. in Westfield, Federal Hill Commons in Noblesville and the Carmel Farmers

ABA book signing set for Sept. 29

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com You can judge this book by its cover.

“The title of the book is, ‘We Changed the Game,’ and we did,” said former BOOK Indiana Pacers player Bob “Neto” Netolicky, a Noblesville resident.

“Today’s NBA would not be the way it is if not for the ABA.” The book, which was released earlier this year, was written by Netolicky, Richard Tinkham and Robin Miller. A book signing is set for 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 29 at the American Legion Hall, 852 W. Main St., Carmel. The book is full of stories about the league’s many characters.

“Ninety-nine percent of the books out there about the ABA are third-, fourth-, fifth-hand stories,” said Netolicky, an original Pacer who played most of his career with Indiana. “This one kind of nails it. Dick Tinkham helped start the league and was the league lawyer. Robin followed us for three or four years when we started. He was a cub reporter, so he knows the real happenings.”

Bob Costas, who was a radio announcer for the ABA’s Spirits of St. Louis, praised the book.

Bob “Neto” Netolicky signs a book along with Robin Miller. (Submitted photo)

“If you loved the ABA as I did or are simply curious about a fascinating slice of sports history, you will love this book,” Costas said.

Ten percent of proceeds from book sales go to the Indianapolis-based Dropping Dimes Foundation that advocates for former ABA players.

“Dropping Dimes has taken the lead and is getting involved in our pension fight with the NBA,” Netolicky said. “We’ve got some heavy hitters helping us. We have eight or nine Hall of Famers on the advisory board, guys like George Gervin, Dan Issel and Artis Gilmore. Bob Costas. Reggie Miller is on it and so is Myles Turner.”

TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8660 Purdue Rd., Suite 8666-600, Indianapolis.

What to get: Donut Ice Cream Sandwich.

Price: $5.

Anna’s take: TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth has only been open a month and already customers are photographing the vibrantly colorful ice cream sandwiches and posting them on social media.

According to TeeJay’s, the ice cream shop is home to what it calls the only donut ice cream sandwich in Indiana.

The sandwich is a sight to behold.

Customers can choose two scoops out of 16 flavors to sandwich between halves of a Jack’s glazed donut and top it with one topping. I ordered the cookie dough ice cream and the cookies and cream ice cream with a donut sandwich and topped it with peanut butter crunch cereal. When assembled, the donut/ice cream concoction is heated in a waffle iron-type device for five seconds, which is enough to warm the donut but not melt the ice cream.

The mix of flavors and textures from the flaky, sweetened donut glaze to the crunch of the cereal and smoothness of the ice cream tastes heavenly. The delicious behemoth was only $5. The shop offers more than donut sandwiches. I couldn’t help but sample the Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispy sandwich with Blue’s Vanilla and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream topped with Lucky Charms cereal. It was a delicious, colorful snack.

I also tried a scoop each of the Lemoreo

(lemon Oreo) and the Graham Central Station flavors, which are the store’s most popular flavors.

TeeJay’s is affordable, and it sources its ice cream from Sundae’s Homemade Ice Cream in Indianapolis. The concoctions are dessert monsters you’d expect to find at a State Fair, and they are worth breaking a diet. In addition to ice cream sandwiches, TeeJay’s sells cones, scoops and floats.

Fall flavors will be available soon.

Behind Bars: I’m Your Huckleberry Get it at Sun King Spirits, Carmel Ingredients: 3 oz. No Mean City American gin, .5 oz. agave syrup, 2 oz. huckleberry syrup, kombucha, lemon wedge, basil leaves Directions: Add first three ingredients to a shaker, squeeze a lemon wedge into the mix, shake with ice and pour into a glass. Top with kombucha and garnish with a basil leaf.

Blueprint for Improvement: Geist master bathroom sanctuary Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

After

Before

The goal was to create a timeless master bathroom design that maximized the functionality of the space.

1. The biggest change came from removing the large decked tub that took up the outside wall of the bathroom and replacing it with a smaller freestanding tub, making the space appear much more open.

2. After removing the decked tub there was room to make some minor floorplan changes, relocating the single vanity and expanding the shower.

3. The shower expansion included creating a custom-glass enclosed shower with a bench seat and detailed tile work.

4. All cabinetry was updated, and a linen tower was added to create more storage space.

5. The space was finished with wood-look luxury vinyl tile flooring, a perfect material for any bathroom!

Background Info: This early 1990s home in the Admirals Pointe neighborhood of the Geist area is home to a growing family. Overall, the owners were happy with the home but it was in need of a few updates to make it function better for the soon-to-be family of four.

BEFORE PROBLEMS The bathrooms were the first priority for the homeowners. They had plenty of space, but the layout of the master bathroom made the room feel confined. The bathroom had never been updated, so the materials and bulkheads dated the space.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

Give it up for Rustic Citrus!

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I wish Rustic Citrus was the name of a band I played in back in college. We would have probably been GRAMMAR GUY some kind of folk/ funk fusion, with banjo, mandolin and an entire horn section.

I would have played cowbell and sung in the chanting sections of select songs. But, alas, I wasn’t in a band in college; “rustic” and “citrus” are simply two different anagrams for my first name.

Word nerds like you probably already know this, but an anagram is a word, phrase or name with the letters rearranged to spell something else, like “debit card” and “bad credit.”

Anagrams go all the way back to Ancient Greece, first used by either Pythagoras in the sixth century B.C. or by the poet Lycophron in the third century B.C. But my favorite example of anagram nerdiness in history took place long after the Greeks geeked out on switching letters around.

In the 17th century, King Louis XIII enjoyed anagrams so much that he hired an official royal anagrammatist named Thomas Billon to entertain his court with the clever rear-

ranging of their names in amusing or mystical ways. Billon was the combination of a jester and obsessive word scrambler. For the record, if anyone’s hiring, that sounds like an awesome job for me.

I have some favorite anagrams. For instance, “stifle” is an anagram of “itself.” In Oklahoma (my home state), two cities on the opposite end of the state, “Altus” and “Tulsa,” are anagrams of each other. The brand name Spandex was made by rearranging the letters of “expands.” And, I don’t want to play favorites here, but an anagram for Presbyterians is “best in prayer” (and also “Britney Spears”).

Finally, “eleven plus two” equals “twelve plus one.” Don’t let that blow your mind too much. And — don’t worry — I’m not going to change the name of my column to Anagrammatist Guy, although I am considering the pseudonym Mr. Ray Gugam. Is Curtis Honeycutt “hectic unto yurts?” I’ll let you decide.
