Groups partner to improve White River experience in Hamilton, Marion counties

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Many central Indiana residents rarely think about it. Others have been told to avoid it.

But now, several organizaRECREATION tions are working together to make the White River a gem that attracts people to live, work and play near its banks.

Hamilton County Tourism is partnering with the City of Indianapolis and other organizations to develop the White River Vision Plan, a comprehensive look at the 58 miles of the river in Hamilton and Marion counties. The initiative was launched in May and has included dozens of meetings with stakeholders and opportunities for the public to provide input.

“We want everybody in central Indiana, when asked, to say, ‘I know about the White River,’” said Brenda Myers, president and CEO of Carmel-based Hamilton County Tourism.

“Through awareness we can create positive change. It’s really important. This is not going to end in April when the final report is brought out for public input.”

Re-engage with the river While many things can be done to improve the White River, much progress has been made in previous decades.

A century ago, the river experienced “pig jams” when meat producers threw hog carcasses in the river after removing the parts they wanted, according to Cliff Chapman, executive director of the Central Indiana Land Trust, which works to preserve land along the river and elsewhere.

“You could walk across the river on the bloated carcasses of pigs,” Chapman said. “It ain’t that bad anymore.”

The river may no longer be full of pigs, but other hazards have caused ecological devastation and contributed to a negative reputation. Most notably, in 1999 a chemical spill near Anderson led to a fish kill, and other dangers — such as e-coli — have at times led officials to urge people not to make full body contact with the water.

Even now, in Indianapolis, sewage over-

flows into the river when it rains more than a quarter inch. The $2 billion DigIndy project is creating a 28-mile tunnel system deep underground to virtually eliminate the problem.

In Hamilton County, where most development occurred more recently than Indianapolis, modern designs have kept the problem to a minimum.

But for years now in both counties, the White River has been deemed a safe place to enjoy outdoor recreation.

“One of our group’s goals is to re-engage people with the river,” said Lance Lantz, a member of the White River Alliance board of directors. “It seems like it’s almost a hidden treasure. Those who know it’s there enjoy it, but most of us drive (over it) across the bridges and don’t think twice.”

‘Amazing resource’ In addition to the DigIndy project, other major projects are in the works along the White River, such as the transformation of the former General Motors stamping plant in downtown Indianapolis to a $550 million mixed-use project. Conner Prairie, which borders 3 miles of the river, is in the process of completing a master plan that includes showcasing the water to provide education about Indiana history.

Myers said it seemed like a good time to launch the White River Vision Plan with so many organizations already focusing on improving the river. The plan doesn’t seek to replace the work that’s been done by other groups; rather, it aims to unite organizations that already are working toward the same goals.

“We see ourselves as the convener on the project,” Myers said of HCT. “We’re sort of

shepherding the collective.”

Other partners include the White River Alliance, Friends of the White River, Reconnecting Our Waterways and more. Massachusetts-based Agency Landscape + Planning is consulting on the project, which costs $1.5 million and is funded by several municipalities, Legacy Fund and a grant from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust.

The partners have different focus areas, but all are committed to helping the White River reach its full potential.

“We have this amazing resource going right through our community,” said Claire Lane, an urban conservationist with the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, a project partner. “It’s really a shame to not utilize it and make it a big part of peoples’ lives and respect that this is an awesome asset we have.”

A balanced approach Not only does the White River Vision Plan aim to clean up the river, but it is exploring ways to increase access and attract development.

“We’re always looking for more family activities to get the average person to realize the fun there is to be had on this great recreational opportunity,” Lantz said.

At the same time, the group is cognizant of the fact that many private landowners don’t want to see big changes.

Ed Shaugnessy, a Carmel resident who enjoys fishing and kayaking also is hoping the vision doesn’t lead to drastic changes.

“I hope they go with caution,” he said. “I don’t want to see a lot of restaurants and bars and businesses spring up on what’s now quiet and peaceful.”

DOING HER JOB & GETTING RESULTS

Preschoolers soon will see an influx of nature in their classrooms.

Westfield Washington EDUCATION Township and Westfield Washington Schools have announced a collaboration project, the All Aboard Program. Because preschool students are too young to take a field trip to MacGregor Park in Westfield, the township will bring the field trip to them.

Kristy White, director of education for the township, will visit eight All Aboard classrooms once a month during the school year to build an environmental education program aimed at exciting children about parks and nature.

White has 10 years of experience teaching preschool enrichment programs at Westfield Washington Township.

“We hope to bring nature-related themes into the All Aboard Program as well as other preschool-related topics,” she stated.

In the future, the township plans to include elementary-aged students in the

program.

“Strong partners like Westfield Washington Township allow us to broaden our students’ educational experience beyond the classroom,” stated Marci Derado, WWS director of Student Support Programs. “Plus, the students have really enjoyed the interactive and engaging presentations from the township staff.”

Last year was the first year the Downtown Westfield Association utilized the Lions clubhouse for its market.

Formerly, the market was conducted at the Grand Parks Events Center.

At the clubhouse, the market can offer readymade food options, DWA Executive Director Teresa Skelton said. Moving the market to downtown Westfield also helps creSkelton ate a presence where the market plans to relocate when the Grand Junction Park and Plaza is complete.

“The vendors did very well at Grand Park, but I think this is a more intimate setting, and from an organization standpoint, I like the fact (the clubhouse) is in our downtown,” Skelton said.

It’s always a challenge during the holidays to balance food, family, fellowship and fun while still being mindful of health and fitness. Get yourself in shape and take the first step today for a more enjoyable holiday.

“Motion 4 Life has opened the door to a new healthy lifestyle. Everyone is friendly and professional. They have helped me to regain my balance and improve my eating habits.

I especially appreciate the individual attention.” - Maridean, M4L Member

Club paints bathroom stalls

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When Westfield High School administrators designated October as Kindness Month, WHS Art Club students decided on a ART project to spread inspirational and motivational messages to other students. The project involved painting inspirational quotes on bathroom stall doors near the auditorium.

The club originally planned to paint stall doors in several bathrooms, but it soon became obvious that bathroom stall doors weren’t conducive for painting.

“I think it’s the nature of the plastic door.

It’s made so it’s really hard for things to stick on it, like graffiti,” art club sponsor Lindsay Frey said. “We were kind of hesitant to really sand the door and destroy that surface, so we lightly sanded the door, added a primer, painted the door black and then the art club worked in groups to come up with designs to promote kindness and positivity and motivation.”

Because of the doors’ material, the paint didn’t stick and came off easily. The students then decided to just paint the bathrooms near the auditorium because they

are used frequently during lunch hours and weekend events.

“We like to try and do things instead of just working on independent projects for the kids in the club,” Frey said. “They like to try to do more community and school-based projects.”

The club meets each Wednesday, and Frey said the bathroom stall door project took several weeks to complete.

The art club’s next project is painting Carey Ridge Elementary School’s 10 inspirational words on canvases to hang in the elementary.

Distressed Unit Appeal Board to assess school finances statewide

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indiana House Bill 1315, passed earlier this year, created the Distressed Unit Appeal Board, which will COVER STORY assess school districts’ finances statewide.

As state officials begin to sort out the process, some residents are concerned Westfield Washington Schools may be listed as “distressed.”

However, State Rep. Tony Cook Cook and WWS staff don’t expect that to happen, as has occurred with corporations.

Muncie Community Schools and Gary Community School Corp. have been designated as distressed, which led to Ball State University taking control of MCS finances and the state of Indiana taking control of GCSC’s finances.

When a school corporation is listed as distressed, the bill calls for the DUAB to appoint an emergency manager for the corporation, which reduces its school board to an advi-

sory board that cannot meet more than once every three months. The bill also establishes a list of financial and qualitative indicators to ensure that situations like Muncie or Gary don’t happen again.

Conversation about the bill is evolving, and the DUAB recently proposed a list of fiscal and qualitative indicators which reveal the overall picture of a school corporation’s fiscal health. However, if a corporation appears to be struggling financially, it isn’t immediately placed on the distressed list.

The DUAB works directly with the corporation to deal with unique circumstances.

Several fiscal indicators, such as credit ratings, outstanding debt, property tax collection percentages, debt service expenditures and other factors may appear negative on the surface, but qualitative indictors such as academic performance, building capacity and utilization, age and condition of buildings, practices and policies of the superintendent and school board in monitoring fiscal health of the school corporation and several others may balance the school out in the eyes of the DUAB. A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE Cook voted for the bill and he said it’s not the DUAB’s intent to take over school corporations or designate them as distressed.

Rather, Cook said the DUAB is used as a preventative mechanism.

“You only get on that watch list if you don’t enact the corrective plan that they’ve all agreed on or don’t develop it at all. If you’ve lost tons of kids and tons of revenues but made no adjustments for that in the buildings, you have to make some tough decisions.”

-State Rep. Tony Cook

“The intent of this part of that bill is definitely to take in all these indicators, both fiscal and qualitative, that they have here and determine whether that school corporation is experiencing some difficulties, what those difficulties are, where they are out of balance financially and what help and assistance and resources can the state, DUAB and Dept. of Budget provide them and recommend them in their working plan to correct and get back into a financially positive situation versus a distressed situation,” Cook said.

Cook previously worked as superintendent of Hamilton Heights School Corp. from 2005 to 2014. He said the proposed qualitative indicators balance out the fiscal indicators, which may keep schools from landing on the distressed list, especially in a situation such as Westfield’s.

“Qualitative indicators are important to Westfield because Westfield is kind of in a unique situation that Hamilton Southeastern (Schools) used to be in,” Cook said. “They are experiencing such growth so quickly and they’re having to expand classrooms, build add-ons, add staff, so that all the sudden, they look like, ‘Wow, we’re having to put out all this expense and we’re having to go to a referendum to do it.’”

In the past 10 years, WWS student enrollment has increased by 20 percent. Since 2000, enrollment has increased by 118 percent.

Cook said based on fiscal indicators alone, WWS could appear to be struggling.

“But at the same time, they are growing and assessed value of land and population is going to bring them in more money down the road,” he said. “They may look like this a little now, but five years from now, they’re going to have all these kids and businesses coming in.”

Cook said fiscal indicators only show information on paper but qualitative indicators paint a more accurate picture. He said some school corporations, such as WWS, may have to take preventative measures to make it through their current situation.

“I think they’re going to be fine,” he said.

“They have some tough things to do in planning to get through the time period. I had to cut some instructional assistants and library accommodations in a smaller school setting (when he I was superintendent), but then I was able to add that back on when we grew a little more.”

IMPROVEMENTS TO FUND BALANCE AND ADDING A CFO One fiscal indicator at which WWS excels is debt management.

“As debt decreases, we are being proactive in thinking about projects and any kind of construction or facility needs we might have,” WWS Supt.

Sherry Grate said. “We are really trying to be thoughtful on how we plan that for the future.”

Grate Grate said when she became superintendent in 2016, one of the first things she did was hire Brian Tomamichel as a chief financial officer for the school corporation.

“One of the first steps Tomamichel we did was hire a CFO,” Grate said. “With Brian now being in his role for a year, we have had the opportunity to take a deep dive and deep look at where we have been, where we currently are and looking to the future.”

Tomamichel said one of the indicators WWS could improve is fund balance.

“If you look at our fund balances, they’ve been a little low,” Tomamichel said. “We are looking at improving fund balances. A lot of it is based on are you a growing school or are you a shrinking school? We are one of the growing schools. In layman’s terms, we need to make sure the budget is balanced, always, and that it’s not only a balanced budget but operating in the black to where we are in the positive.”

CUTTING COSTS WWS has already taken several steps to improve its financial balance, such as reducing and restructuring instructional assistant positions and managing building energy differently. The district also is evaluating health insurance benefits.

“Health insurance as benefits is a huge cost for us,” Tomamichel said. “We are not cutting benefits, but how do you look at the back end of the negotiation side and how is the plan structured? We have worked through a lot of that to have as minimal impact as possible.”

Cook said some school corporations may save by sharing services, such as teachers or purchasing certain items jointly. Some districts may impose layoffs, while others may shut down buildings. “(Some districts) may have tough decisions in that respect to try to avoid having to make harder financial decisions,” Cook said.

AVOIDING A DISTRESSED DESIGNATION Cook said school corporations only will be listed on the distressed list if the DUAB’s suggested actions aren’t acted upon.

“You only get on that watch list if you don’t enact the corrective plan that they’ve all agreed on or don’t develop it at all,” he said. “If you’ve lost tons of kids and tons of revenue but made no adjustments for that in the buildings, you have to make some tough decisions.”

The DUAB follows a five-step process before placing a school corporation on a watch list. The first step, releasing the fiscal indicators for all school corporations, won’t take place until Jan. 1, 2019. The DUAB won’t prepare a report on which school cor-

Cook refers to the DUAB as a good auditor for school corporations.

ESSAY Go vote

LETTER Say a prayer

Commentary by Terry Anker Perhaps we’ve already heard it.

Maybe a passing billboard caught our eye. Or, it could have been a television commercial that planted the suggestion. For the intelligent and erudite, it might have been a well-placed advertisement in this very newspaper that brought it to your attention. Regardless of the genesis, it seems difficult to believe that it is time for another election.

On Nov. 6, many of us will march to the polls. Millions already have made the trip through the newly instituted early voting in addition to the time-tested standard of advanced absentee suffrage. Good, and add this voice to the many that urge us to exercise the right. If you haven’t yet done it, drop this paper and vote – now. For those of us who have, well done.

Still, millions will skip the ballot box entirely. Some for reasons that may seem good enough but most for convenience or lack of will. Sure, politics is more than a bit unpleasant. It always has been. Fantasy writer and would-be Minnesotan office-bearer Will Shetterly once correctly remarked that “politics is a dirty business, but if you do not do politics, politics will be done to you.”

In this acrimonious electorate, there are those who have decided to take a break by working to avoid participation in the whole circus.

If we don’t vote, for any candidate, how can they be responsible for the behavior of those elected? If we feel uninformed, how can we make an informed choice? Hmm. Can one be a conscientious objector to elections? Perhaps. Yet, isn’t a nonvote, in most cases, the same as a consent to the rule of the minority?

Our resistance is registered as an advantage to the largest of the sets of those motivated to participate.

There is no “opt out.”

Editor, In case you missed last month’s Hamilton County Prayer Breakfast, supporting first responders and their families, we want you to consider the challenge we all received that morning.

Pray for a first responder each time you hear a siren or see a first responder in public. Can you imagine how much continual prayer coverage they and their family members would receive throughout the year if we do so? Prayer is one of the most powerful blessings we can give to others, and our first responders deserve that blessing in addition to our thanks for their service.

Please join us in accepting this challenge and lift our first responders in prayer!

Careless spending

Reelin’ in the years Commentary by Danielle Wilson My baby is 20 today. Twenty! I think I’m in shock. I am way too young to have a 20-yearold and he’s way too young to HUMOR be 20. Another startling development? Yesterday, my twins were accepted to college. What the what!

How is this happening? When I asked a colleague, he said, “The days go by slowly, but the years? The years fly by.” Preach.

I remember when I had three under 3.

I’d wake up at the crack of dawn, already anxious about what kind of parenting hell I’d have to survive. Physically exhausting, emotionally challenging and psychologically punishing – each day seemed interminable.

Odds were good that I wouldn’t eat anything other than a stray Gerber puff and a toasted-hours-ago bagel, and that at some point I’d be exposed to a biochemical substance that required a Clorox hose-down and several shouted expletives. By nightfall, I’d usually collapse into bed, say a quick prayer

that everyone would sleep through the night and fall into a fitful repose only to do it all again come sunrise.

I can recall with vivid detail harrowing trips to the Fishers YMCA, the Children’s Museum and a particularly controversial depantsing at the Carmel Library that nearly earned me a story-hour lifetime ban. I remember individual playdates, specific neighborhood walks and even the guest lists for all the birthday parties. But I can’t tell you where all the years went. I cannot remember when my two sons suddenly needed razors or when my daughters began wearing makeup. I literally have no idea when my kids grew up.

Seriously, where has the time gone? My baby is 20! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”

— John Adams

Editor, I, for one, do not appreciate Danielle Carey Tolan bragging about spending my money so carelessly. Her comment, “...But really, I don’t see $4 a year being a burden on someone.” Believe it or not Ms. Carey Tolan we are all not millionaires like you believe we are in Westfield.

When you are on the ballot, I will specifically not vote for you. Shame on you for laughing about spending other people’s money. Shame on Erica Strahm also.

You both can share my $4 per year — I don’t see $2 each being a burden on the each of you.

Stepheny Tays, Carmel

Long live coffee and debates Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I just read on AOL that coffee first thing in the morning is bad for you. Hard to believe, isn’t it? No, not the cofHUMOR fee part — the fact I still have AOL. Apparently, you mess with your internal clock when you drink java on an empty stomach. That morning cup of joe can backfire and make you feel sleepier and grumpier. Has no one noticed this in 300 years?

Beneath that article was another medical finding, that women who keep quiet during an argument with their husbands are four times more likely to die from heart disease.

So, if I argue with my wife, I’m a boorish brute and a sexist. But if she wants to argue with me, she’ll live longer.

We have debated just about everything in our 39 years of marriage: How to eat popcorn; if it’s a good idea to nap in the middle of the day; how to load a dishwasher; and high flame or low for scrambled eggs. We once debated whether my mother knew how to raise children. I thought my mom had done a pretty good job, but Mary Ellen provided some very strong evidence to the contrary: Me!

I must not be a very good debater because I seem to lose the exchange, even if I have most facts in my favor. For example, I was pretty sure this past July was my wife’s 67th birthday, but she claimed she was only 66. I dug out her passport and birth certificate from our safe deposit box.

I tried to further bolster my position with this argument: “Mary Ellen, remember when we got married, we talked about there being a four-year difference in our age?”

“Oh, Dick, you’re living in the past. That was 38 years ago.”

I hope the two of us have many more heated discussions. I figure if she keeps arguing with me, she will stay healthy. And I’m still going to continue to drink huge amounts of coffee, even if it makes me sleepy and cantankerous.

I know you’re tempted to say, “Wouldn’t that be grounds for divorce?”

Thanks for beating me to it.

How the flu can spread and why the vaccine is vital

Commentary by Dr. Charles Harris

Have you and your family received your yearly influenza vaccinations?

Influenza season is PREVENTION upon us, and in Indiana, it usually starts in October and continues until late May. The contagious, respiratory illness is caused by a virus that infects the nose, throat and lungs. The disease can cause mild to severe symptoms of chills, aches, runny nose, fever, sore throat and can even lead to death.

Influenza is spread mainly by droplets made when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of anyone nearby or be inhaled into the lungs.

People who have influenza can spread the virus to anyone within 6 feet, and this can happen before they know they are sick. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and five to seven days after they become sick. Younger children and people with weakened immune systems may be able to infect others for longer periods of time.

The best ways to prevent influenza are known – cover your cough and wash your

hands thoroughly and often. But most importantly, you should receive your annual influenza vaccine as soon as possible.

After receiving the vaccine, it takes about two weeks for the body to develop antibodies to the most common viruses of the season. Influenza vaccines are available in different types, including both live and inactive injections.

Those most at-risk vary widely in age and demographic, including children younger than 5 and especially younger than 2; adults 65 and older; pregnant women, who often have weakened immune systems and passes antibodies onto her developing baby; residents in long-term care facilities; and American Indians and Alaska Natives.

Those 65 and older should receive the highdose vaccine. Vaccines are available at your doctor’s office, local pharmacies and clinics, community centers and the Hamilton County Health Dept.

For more, visit hamiltoncounty.in.gov/278/ immunization-information.

Dr. Charles Harris is the Hamilton County Health Officer and can be reached at the Hamilton County Health Dept. at health@ hamiltoncounty.in.gov.

Breastfeeding can reduce cancer risk — Research has shown that women who breastfeed greatly lower their risk of developing breast cancer, but in a new study published in the journal Breastfeeding Medicine, researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center find that very few women have received this information from their doctor. Findings show 60 percent of moms knew of the link between breastfeeding and breast cancer, but of those women, only 16 percent received the

information from a medical professional.

Of the women who didn’t breastfeed, 60 percent said having the information would have influenced their decision African American women, who have a greater risk of developing triple negative breast cancer, were less likely to be informed about the health benefits of breastfeeding when compared with women of other ethnicities.

Pianist Jon Nakamatsu to make debut appearance with Carmel Symphony Orchestra

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Classical pianist Jon Nakamatsu’s journey has been one of perseverance.

Nakamatsu was a high MUSIC school German language teacher in California when he won the gold medal at Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in June 1997.

“It went by in a flash. I can’t believe it’s been (more than) 20 years,” Nakamatsu said. “It seems like a dream and I have to go back to my real job teaching school. I think it went by so fast. Right after the competition, the tour started three days later and because they (concerts) never stopped, it’s just been a whirlwind. In that time what transformed my life is being on stage constantly. I guess because I never knew if this career was going to happen for me, it’s kind of a pinch yourself moment when I get to walk on stage. That’s why coming to Carmel is so special. I never would have been there if it wouldn’t have been for an event 20 years ago.”

Nakamatsu will make his first appearance with Carmel Symphony Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 10 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. Nakamatsu, who has worked with CSO Music Director Janna Hymes previously with another orchestra, will perform Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.”

“The wonderful moment for the audience is the 18th variation, which is the famous one,” Nakamatsu said. “Rachmaninoff is a love, of course. He wrote so many great things for the piano. I enjoy playing it every time. It’s one of those pieces where you always find something new, different and exciting. It reveals its secrets over time to us.”

Hymes stated Rachmaninoff has “a way of transporting listeners to another place with his work, and this piece is no exception, especially performed by Jon.” Nakamatsu compared winning the Van Cliburn competition to winning the musical equivalent of the Olympics.

Pianist Jon Nakamatsu will perform with Carmel Symphony Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 10 at the Palladium. (Submitted photo)

“It’s every four years and basically can make your career,” Nakamatsu said. “But while the Olympics is often the height of an athlete’s career, for musicians, the competition is just the start. What winning does is allows you marketability. I was the same person the day before the competition as I was the day after, but suddenly I was set for a tour. It’s not the most glamorous entree into the world, but that’s how the business works. The competition sets up tours for you for a year or two years, but then you are on your own.”

The victory abruptly ended Nakamatsu’s teaching career.

“It was just a magical opportunity,” he said.

Nakamatsu worked with private teacher Marina Derryberry starting at age 6.

“She knew how to prepare someone for a competition 20 years later, so we had a long journey together and she was there when I won,” Nakamatsu said. “She was there when I first played at Carnegie Hall.

It was a huge common trip for both of us. I feel so lucky we had that.”

Derryberry died in 2009.

Before his Van Cliburn competition success, Nakamatsu had his ups and downs in competitions.

“You lose more than you win, that’s for sure,” he said. “There’s no chance of winning if you don’t risk losing. I’ve learned more from the things that I lost and the number of times people slammed doors in my face. It wasn’t just competitions. It was knocking on managements’ doors.

Having people tell you you’re not good enough, you’ll never make it, there’s no reason why you should be here. If you can weather that in any profession and get through the ugliness of that, I think you have a chance for something amazing.”

There will be a pre-concert discussion, called “Meet the Music with Nakamatsu and Hymes,” at 6:30 p.m. For more, visit carmelsymphony.org.

Oakley’s Bistro

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1464 W. 186th St., Indianapolis What to get: Tilapia Price: $25.75 Anna’s take: I sampled several dishes at Oakley’s Bistro on the north side of Indianapolis, all of which blew me away. The meal started with chef Steve Oakley’s famous shrimp corndog, the recipe that beat Bobby Flay last year in a 2017 Food Network episode of “Beat Bobby Flay.” The corndogs are al a carte at $2.75 each. They consist of cocktail-sized shrimp dipped in Oakley’s secret corndog batter and then fried. They are topped with bistro honey mustard, lending a sweet finish. The corndogs are topped with microgreens.

I then ordered the Lobster Waffle ( $14.75).

This was my favorite dish because of its taste and uniqueness. Essentially, the Lobster Waffle is exactly as it sounds – a basil roasted garlic waffle topped with lobster bites, sautéed zucchini, crispy leeks, mustard cream and tomato jam. It is an exotic twist on the traditional chicken-and-waffles dish, and it was phenomenal.

I then tried the Three Little Pigs ($16.75),

which are three small, individual pork dishes. One is a suckling pig croquette. Another is a country pate. The other is pork belly.

This dish was rich and decadent. If you look closely throughout the restaurant, pigs are everywhere in the decorations because chef Oakley loves to create pork-centered dishes.

For my entrée, I opted for the tilapia. The thick slab of mild fish is served with a side of butternut squash risotto inside an edible potato basket, adorned by pine nuts around the plate. The tilapia is seared and served atop tender baby vegetables and wholeroasted tomatoes. A tomato fennel fondue adds a bright flash of color.

Much of the menu changes seasonally, but a few items are staples, such as the Mac-N-Goat Cheese ($6.75), which is mixed with a pesto sauce. The goat cheese gives the dish a rich taste.

For dessert, my sweet tooth craved the chocolate whiskey cake ($8.75), served with caramelized bananas, chocolate mousse and a hearty scoop of Cookie Monster ice cream. It was a fantastic finisher.

Suggested pairings: If ordering the tilapia, pair it with a 2017 Joseph Drouhin Macon-Villages, a dry, white French Chardonnay that tastes minerally and crisp, not oaky and buttery. For the beer drinkers, order the Hefeweizen Grapefruit Bier Schofferhofer.

Behind bars: The Bay Fog Get it at Oakley’s Bistro, Indianapolis Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Patron XO coffee liqueur, .5 oz. chai tea syrup, .5 oz Lazzaroni Maraschino, .5 oz. cream Directions: Shake, strain into an up glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar.

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor living on Geist Reservoir Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

After

Before

Focusing on the exterior, the goal was to make a more functional and appealing outdoor living space for the homeowners to entertain their family and friends.

1. One of the dramatic changes came from replacing the deck with more durable Trex composite decking, railings, lighting and rain-escape system.

These materials are easier for the homeowner to maintain.

2. A new covered porch roof was extended to cover part of the upper deck and a new screened porch was added.

3. The new custom exterior staircase is the focal point of the space. Its curved design adds visual appeal to the home.

4. The concrete patio was replaced with a larger paver patio, retaining walls and terraced landscape beds.

Background Info: This 1998 home on Geist Reservoir was the perfect place for the homeowners to settle down in retirement. They completed their basement and kitchen remodel last year. The outdoor living expansion was the last piece of the puzzle to complete.

BEFORE PROBLEMS The owners wanted to create more space for guests, update their guest and master bathrooms and make their outdoor living space easier to maintain and take advantage of the spectacular lake views.

Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to Arlington National Cemetery are often surprised to find an imposing Greek revival-style mansion close to rows of tombstones a few hundred TRAVEL yards uphill from President John F. Kennedy’s Eternal Flame. The mansion’s twisted history explains both the cemetery’s location and its name.

In 1802, George Washington Parke Custis, the adopted son of George Washington, began building a massive house atop Washington Hill, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. Custis wanted the house, visible from the just-completed Capitol, to be a memorial to President Washington and a repository for his memorabilia. The completed house was 140 feet wide and featured enormous Doric columns. Custis named it Arlington House after the family homestead.

Upon Custis’ death, Arlington House and the surrounding 1,100 acres passed to his daughter, Mary, who had lived in the house with Robert E. Lee since her marriage to him in 1831. When Virginia seceded from the Union in April 1861, Lee left Arlington House

to command Confederate forces and Mary left for her own safety. Union forces soon occupied Arlington House to prevent Confederate forces from lobbing cannon balls onto the Capitol from Washington Hill. In 1864, the United States government obtained Arlington House and its grounds in a tax sale the Supreme Court later ruled was illegal. To prevent Lee and his family from ever again using Arlington House as a residence, the Army designated the area Arlington National Cemetery and began burying Union dead close to the house.

Today, Arlington National Cemetery contains more than 400,000 graves, including that of President Kennedy. Jacqueline Kennedy selected the burial site just east of Arlington House for its spectacular view of Washington, D.C. Arlington House (previously called the Custis-Lee Mansion) is now maintained by the National Park Service as a memorial to Robert E. Lee.

DISPATCH Snag these cars before prices jump — Most of the time, prices in the collector car market don’t make dramatic leaps or dips.But when you’ve had your eye on a long-desired car, and then it suddenly ticks up in value, you just want kick yourself for not acting sooner. Nobody can predict the future, but our insurance quote activity and the frequency a vehicle is added to our insurance policies are generally helpful indicators of how in-demand a car is at a given moment. If all signs are pointing to a car about to get hot, but prices are steady at the moment, it’s a good time to check the bank account and decide how badly you want to scratch that itch. Here are seven cars that fit the bill right now: 1968-69 Ford Farlane; 1960-65 Ford Ranchero; 1993-2002 Chevrolet Camaro; 1981-86-Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler; 1956-75 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia; 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette; and 1955-59 GMC Series 100 (Blue Chip) Pickup.

Jerks, snobs and tasers “I always correct people when they call an initialism that is not an acronym an acronym. Although, I GRAMMAR GUY think I come across a bit like a snob or a jerk, or both.” -Rick, Fishers Rick, you bring up a great point. Are you a snob, jerk, or both? When you wear your gold-rimmed monocle to the grocery store, it’s a bit over the top. So, maybe you’re a snob with jerk-like tendencies.

Regarding your grammar distinction, let’s tackle it head-on. Most people probably think they know what an acronym is, but let’s review. An acronym is an abbreviation where the abbreviation is formed from letters of other words, usually the first letter of each word. This abbreviation (to be considered an acronym) needs to be pronounceable as its own word. Examples include NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), radar (Radio Detection and Ranging), SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) and Taser (Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle).

If you are pronouncing the abbreviation as its own word, your resulting word is an

acronym. On the other hand, if you’re pronouncing the letters of each word, you’ve got an initialism on your hands. Examples of initialisms include DVD (digital versatile disc), FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and FYI (for your information). Initialisms are traditionally capitalized.

Now, things get murky, thanks to the internet. Are internet slang abbreviations like LOL (laughing out loud) and ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing) acronyms or initialisms?

I’ve heard people pronounce each of these abbreviated phrases using just the letters as well as spoken phonetically. In the case of ROFL, the acronym version rhymes with “awful.” And, with the proliferation of texting and social media commenting, these abbreviations are increasingly not capitalized.

As popular usage of the term acronym has expanded to include initialisms, I wouldn’t be surprised if dictionaries follow suit to include initialisms in the definition of acronyms.
