‘No margin for error’ on Oak Street, contends resident

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com

A new Facebook page recently launched in response to a section of Oak Street that many residents believe is too public safety dangerous. The page, Residents for a Safer 334/Oak Street, was created by Nicole Adams, who was in a June accident at Oak Street and Kissel Road that left her back broken in three places. She intended to create the page after her crash, but pain and therapy took precedence. Then a Dec. 30 accident in the same location that killed an 82-year-old passenger and injured three prompted Adams to take action. The accidents are two among about a dozen that have occurred over the past year, more than double the number of accidents in that area of Oak Street in previous years. Adams believes there may be several reasons for the increase in crashes, including changes in elevation and increased traffic on the road. While Zionsville Mayor Tim Haak agrees that increased density and development have impacted the levels of traffic, he believes that drivers are at fault. “The road is safe. The intersection is safe,” Haak said. “The majority of accidents are because of driver inattention, not because of speed.” Adams said that her accident occurred in a split second, leaving no time to react. “People are missing the point,” Adams said. “My goal is to not have anybody to go through what I’ve gone through and every other person that’s crashed there.” “Pay attention, tell your kids, let’s all be cognizant of exactly every single second on that road because there’s no margin for error,” she said. “It’s a busy stretch of roadway,” said Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen. “People need to pay

attention to surroundings and make sure that they’re not distracted.” The Zionsville Town Council has been aware of accidents in the area for several years, but “budget cycles, going through priorities, and where to allocate the funds” have prevented a study of the area, according to Haak. He said funds have been allocated in this year’s budget to look at the intersection and determine short and long term solutions. Although a contract has not been signed, “that study will be starting in the next couple months,” he said. The speed limit was lowered to 45 mph in 2013 after the town took control of the state-owned road in 2011, but according to law cannot it be lowered any further without a study providing proper justification. A sign notifying drivers of their speed was placed on Oak Street near the intersection on Jan. 5 by the Zionsville Police Dept. but is not related to the upcoming study. Jill Meyers lives a few houses from the intersection and believes the issue has gotten worse over the past several years as traffic levels have increased. “It’s not just distracted driving,” she said. “People are going too fast, there’s too many. It’s definitely a problem.”

Zionsville singer on ‘Idol’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Kendall Phillips said her main mission in auditioning for “American Idol” was to meet country star Keith Urban, one of the three judges. achievement The 2007 Zionsville Community High School graduate not only got to check that off her list, but she also earned a golden ticket to advance to Hollywood. “Now it’s mostly about the exposure,” Phillips said, adding she had 25,000 Facebook interactions the day after appearing on the Jan. 6 show. The episode showed her getting the golden ticket and talking to Urban. The producers told her that the performance might be aired during Hollywood week. “The goal is to win, but that’s super in advance,” Phillips said. This will be Phillips’ second trip to Hollywood on “American Idol,” as she also made it when she was 16 years old in the show’s fifth season in 2006. This season will be the last for the show. The country singer, who turned 27 last month, auditioned in Denver, singing “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town. There were several

rejections before she auditioned, so she admitted waiting was nerve-racking. “I was happy with whatever verdict they gave me, but when I sang, I was really happy with my performance,” Phillips said. “Then the judges told me how impressed they were. Harry Connick Jr. said it was the best he ever heard someone sing ‘Girl Crush.’ The more they gave their feedback, the more confident I got.” Phillips said she bounces between living in Zionsville and Nashville, Tenn.

Whitestown library launches By Audrey Bailey • news@currentzionsville.com The Whitestown Municipal Complex has taken an unused, drab closet and turned it into something special for the community to share. books Families and anyone eager to read are welcome to visit the complex to check out books at the new and ever-evolving library, located by the main, side entrance of the building. Tanya Sumner, assistant town manager and director of public relations, has been devoting time to paint the walls and put in shelves to make the library a reality. And, with the help of local partners and patrons, the space has been transformed. “It was all, 100 percent, completely (funded) through donations, which was wonderful. We have been working on it for several months now, soliciting donations for the bookshelves and the books,” Sumner said. “All of the books you see came from town staff and local residents.” The quaint library has a total of five bookshelves and showcases children, teen and adult books. Those who stop by are encouraged to take a book and leave one of their own. But, according to Sumner, people are

8 Scouts earn Eagle status By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The number of those being honored as Eagle Scouts was described by more than one of the honorees as “crazy.” Zach Badger, one of achievement the eight being given Eagle Scout badges, said he has never seen more than four get their Eagle Scout badge in one night. “It’s special for our troop and shows that the community outreach is alive and well,” said Luther Rice, another who earned the Eagle Scout badge. Troop 358 Scoutmaster James Beck said to have eight at one time is very unusual. Eagle Scout is the highest achievement in Boy Scouts. The Eagle Scouts were recognized at Troop 358 Court of Honor on Jan. 4 at St. Alphonsus Liguori Catholic Church in Zionsville. “We are the largest troop in the North Star district and one of the largest in Central Indiana,” Beck said. “We’ve been chartered since 1923, so we’re in our 93rd year of existence. To this day, we have 180 Eagle Scouts who have earned that rank in the troop so far.” For 2015, Beck said the troop had its largest number of Eagle Scout badges ever awarded with 12.

The eight Boy Scouts receiving an Eagle badge are, back row from left, Jesper Wiebke, Burk Evans, Logan Witt, Matthew Bricker, and front row, Harrison Davis, Zach Badger, Luther Rice and Brian O’Leary. (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

“A typical year for this troop would be six to eight Eagle Scouts,” Beck said. “For a normal troop, it would be one to three.” The eight scouts, Badger, Rice, Harrison Davis, Brian O’Leary, Jesper Wiebke, Burk Evans, Logan Witt and Matthew Bricker, earning the honor on Jan. 4, were all from Zionsville. Davis is a Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School senior. The others are from Zionsville Community High School. Wiebke, Bricker and Witt are juniors and the other four are seniors. To achieve Eagle Scout status, the scouts did non-profit community service projects.

NFL’s Vikings once loved cold Commentary by Ward Degler The Minnesota Vikings are out in the cold again. After 31 years in the covered Hubert Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis, they have rounded out plain talk their current season in the open air of the University of Minnesota’s Memorial Stadium. The Vikings lost their last game of the season 10-9 against the Seattle Seahawks by missing a field goal in the final seconds. The temperature during the game was six-below with a wind chill in negative double digits. That would never have been an acceptable excuse back in the 1960s and ’70s when the Vikings played all their home games in the refrigerated confines of Metropolitan Stadium in the Twin Cities suburb of Bloomington – now the location of Mall of the Americas. In addition to being case-hardened by subzero temperatures, the Vikings had a secret weapon back then, a quarterback by the name of Fran Tarkenton. He sat on the bench during most of his first game in September of that year. When Coach Norm Van Broklin finally put him into the game, he stunned the football world by throwing four rapid touchdown passes and person-

ally running a fifth to bring the Vikings from behind to beat the Chicago Bears 37-13. From that notable beginning, Tarkenton launched a career of dizzying victories for the Minnesota team – along with a culture of insane joy and unbearable angst among thousands of fans. One game was especially memorable. The Vikings versus the Packers. It was 25-below at Metropolitan Stadium. Fans huddled in down-filled sleeping bags, their faces buried in ski masks, waiting for the Tarkenton magic. He did not disappoint, and the Vikings pulled out another heart attack victory. The Minneapolis Tribune reported the next day that because of the extreme cold, more than 1,000 delirious Viking fans shelled out 30 bucks apiece to get their frozen cars started after the game. No one complained. The Vikings also lost all four Super Bowl attempts. Some said it was because they were playing indoors.

Noble Order to open Boone County’s first brewery on Main Street By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com

“When we bought the building 15 years ago, that was our long-term dream,” she said. “It’s a wonderful thing that they are the experts in it, and we’ll get to enjoy the wonderful products.” The location will only serve beverages, so customers are encouraged to bring their own food from other local dining establishments. The building will be ADA compliant with electrical upgrades and the addition of televisions. “We’re not a sports bar, but we want to be able to have those things when people come in,” Miller said. “We just think that’s a nice touch.” Bottles of wine, specialty beer, meads and ciders will be available for takeout along with cans and growlers of beer. All four varieties will be available in-house, on tap. “We’re tapping some unique things,” Miller said. Brewmaster Richard Shoyer writes all of Noble Order’s recipes and was a home brewer along with Miller when they met Jeff and Melody Haist, owners of JJ Winery. “We had an affinity and love for craft beers,” Miller said. The Haists were interested in adding a brewery to the winery, and in 2010 they together created Noble Order. Three years ago Miller quit teaching middle school to focus full time on the business. The owners are designing Noble Order to be a pet-friendly

An oasis is being created in what has been marketed as a “beer desert” by the Boone Co. Economic Development Corporation. cover story Boone County is getting its first brewery since the 1870s. Noble Order Brewing Company expects to open a taproom on Zionsville’s Main Street by late February serving a rare quadruple menu of craft beer, mead, cider and wine. “We’ve combed the entire country, but we cannot find another place that bottles all four of those,” co-owner Mike Miller said. This will be the second location for the Noble Order, which has its brewing headquarters in Richmond. While its libations will continue to be brewed in Wayne Co., Noble Order will add specific Boone Co. distillations to its menu using only ingredients found locally. “All the materials that we use will be coming out of Sugar Creek Hops and Sugar Creek Malt Farms,” Miller said, along with yet unknown spices that will be from the area. “That’s something unique we can offer.” “What we would like to do is all the time have one small Boone County brew on tap,” Miller said, “so every time you come into the tasting room, you can get a beer that’s made with all Boone County products.” The Boone Co. EDC began working to convince a brewery to locate in the county during the inaugural Whitestown Brewfest in September. EDC officials distributed marketing materials to attending craft breweries, encouraging them to consider moving to the area. The campaign was created “to let them know, ‘Hey, we’re here. We’d love for you to be the first one,’” said Molly Whitehead, executive director of the Boone Co. EDC. The next day Noble Order contacted Whitehead with interest in expanding. “They were interested in more foot traffic and a place that’s growing, more millennial growth,” said Whitehead, who walked them through the village where they discovered their new location at 98 S. Main St. “Zionsville just really hit it on the head,” Miller said. “It just fits our aesthetic and our look. We found a home.” “We think it’s an excellent addition, a space for people to meet,” Whitehead said. “The more options we have the better off we’ll be.” Valerie Swack, who owns the building with her husband, said she has always From left, building owner Mike Swack and Noble Order Co-owners Mike Miller, Melody thought the location would be perfect for a Haist and Jeff Haist are working together to bring Boone Co.’s first brewery to Zionsbrewery. ville.

establishment. They also are working on plans to host musicians certain nights of the week and bring local art into the building. “We have plans to pair with local artists to be the ones who decorate our tasting room, and that will revolve every six weeks,” Miller said. “It will always be evolving and changing.” Miller is eager to open the doors and be involved in Zionsville. “We want to be a part of the community and work with everybody to help enhance some economic growth for our neighbors,” he said. “The people you get to meet is what makes it really fun.”

the search continues The Boone Co. EDC isn’t done seeking breweries to move to the area. “We’re still pursuing others,” said Molly Whitehead, who recognizes there are many opportunities and locations for taprooms in the county. Whitehead said it’s an unusual marketing plan the EDC has undertaken to entice breweries to the county. “This isn’t traditional economic development marketing,” Whitehead said. “We’re marketing to companies that are usually a little bit hipster.” The initial “beer desert” campaign idea has been followed by a mailing to brewers during the holidays with a photo of Santa and his “Reinbeer.” Other communications will follow “as ideas come to us,” Whitehead said. They say their priority, however, is to find the best location for the business. “It’s all driven on what the company is looking for,” she said. “That’s where we’ll take them.”

Whose story ‘rings’ truest?

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it stuck us that there are true, overthe-top romantics in our midst. By that, we mean gents that do more than the old getdown-on-one-knee deal to beg/propose. (We do that simply to get the TV remotes from our spouses, by the way.) Some guys really go all out, expand the boundaries of creativity and really stretch to propose to what they hope will be their bride-to-be. And so in recognition of those that really know how to push the envelope in this category, we’ve created The Most Romantic Marriage Proposal contest. Every couple has a unique story, as no two are alike, but we (and our readers) want to know what over-the-moon proposal you offered or, in the case of a bride, was presented to you. The grand-prize winner, as determined by online voting Jan. 27 through Feb. 1 at www. youarecurrent.com, will be awarded a John Hardy limited edition, pink-sapphire bracelet, courtesy of Moyer Fine Jewelers. The first runner-up will have dinner for two on the house at Prime 47-Carmel, and the second runner-up will win a $100 gift card from Kroger of Carmel to use on flowers, chocolates or, perhaps, ingredients for a romantic, home-cooked meal. (Thank you, sincerely, sponsors!) All submissions will be posted, and then we’ll let our readers decide who wins what. Send your story to our editorial director, Sophie Pappas, at sophie@youarecurrent.com. The winners and their respective entries will be announced and published in the Feb. 9 edition of Current. We’re eagerly anticipating the submissions to see who really has the corner on creativity. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Good enough Commentary by Terry Anker When is good enough, well, good enough? Every one of us holds an internal standard that allows us to call an assigned task complete. Some will obsess over every detail to a point of absurdity well beyond any hoped for return on the effort. Others will walk away with the job better described as half-started than as half-done. Is there a benchmark that we can identify to measure a duty finished? Some of us come to know the principle outlined in software development (I’d argue that it applies to almost any start-up organization or nascent product) that the work is done when a consumer market decides enough value is created by the invention in its currently “incomplete” form to justify its cost and to therefore buy it. To continue to expend resources that do not increase the value to the customer in proportion to the required increase in price is bad business. It seems simple enough. Yet in our personal lives, so many of us obsess over the minutia of our daily

routines, ever mired in detail and “improvements” that could scarcely show a return in the quality of living were we to be around in 1,000 years. Don’t misunderstand. Excellence matters. We exist in a competitive world with an ever increasing interpretation of perfection. But, are we deploying our attentions to the specifics that matter to those that we care about around us? Or, are we indulging in our own vanity in assuming that “our” perfection will suit anyone else? It is a thorny challenge. Seeking distinction through hard-work and innovation is virtuous. We should celebrate it. But also, knowing when to stop expending resources on something that is ostensibly as good as it is going to get, likewise, is virtuous. The trick is to reconcile the two.

Q UOTE OF THE WEEK A man’s character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation. – Mark Twain

Get your mooches up, people! Football may be winding down but competitive dance is just getting started. Woot, humor woot! Yes, it’s true. I’ve reached the point in every dance mom’s life where she actually looks forward to the dressing room drama, the bedazzled bootie shorts and the crazy cacophony of hundreds of tween-agers yelling “Nail it, Kaylie!” How did this happen? Believe me, I ask myself this question daily. I’m not particularly girly, nor did I grow up in this world of jazz hands and faux Kardashian lashes. I’d always dreamed of watching my kids from the basketball stands or natatorium seats, or even the frozen tundra of soccer sidelines. Never, at least up until three years ago, had I imagined I’d be packing Dream Duffels full of sequenced costumes and make-up remover, fishnet tights and bun makers and heading off to local hotels for 36-48 hours of dance competition. And happily, I might add. In truth, my first year of wading through contemporary marshland with my youngest daughter was almost my last. The time, the money, the stupid judges . . . and all for watching my precious little angel on stage for maybe seven minutes, total. I could barely handle it. But she clearly has a passion for this, and I could easily see that behind the occasional tears and forgotten bling earrings, she was learning grace and confidence and how to persevere under pressure. Big stuff for an 11-year-old. And I’ve improved, too, especially in the coping arena. I’ve learned how to squash my sometimes critical but always competitive nature and focus instead on how much fun she is having and the wonderful friendships she is making. I also know that, with the right attitude, a good book and a pair of high-quality ear plugs, the weekends can be rather pleasurable. So get ready for some unbelievable tales of tacky parenting and outrageous toddlers, my friends, for rarely does a dance season disappoint. And you can count on me to deliver the juice freshly squeezed as I dive headfirst into the crazy. Can’t wait! Peace out.

Brush with fame

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mike and Glenda Carmichael of Alexandria, Ind., have been married a long time, but they still have a ball. In fact, they’ve humor had this ball for nearly 40 years. A paintball, that is. It all started in 1977, when Mike and his 3-year-old son, Michael Jr., painted a baseball that was sitting on a shelf in their garage. Mike thought it would be a fun pastime for his family to continually repaint the ball to see just how big it could get. Fast-forward four decades and almost (key word: almost) 25,000 coats of paint later, and we now have a 4,500-pound sphere of paint, so big it sits (hangs, really) in a nearby barn. Yikes! And there is no end (or circumference) in sight. When I first covered this story on TV back in the ’90s, Mike’s venture was a mere roadside oddity: now everything has snowballed, er … paint-balled. Since then, Mike has been featured on numerous national travel shows, “CBS This Morning,” and a page in “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.” And, of course, in “Guinness World Records.” Mike keeps a record of the color in each layer (there are 20 choices) and the name of each person who painted it. “Sometimes an entire family wants to paint the ball,” says Mike. “It’s cheaper than a day at Disney World.” Mike’s wife, Glenda, is responsible for more than 8,000 paint coats, a feat for which she is openly proud. “It’s more fun than vacuuming, and you feel like you have accomplished something.” You have? To paint the ball, Mike asks that you make an appointment, but he has welcomed a few unannounced visitors. “It’s hard to turn down someone who’s travelled hundreds of miles just to get a photo of themselves painting the ball.” On Saturday morning, Jan. 23. on WISHTV’s “Daybreak,” I will be painting the 25,000th coat. How interesting will that be? About as interesting as watching paint dry. For more of this story, go to www.currentinwestfield.com

ATI breaks from normal fare by presenting ‘Sweeney Todd’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

This performance comes with a warning: this is not your normal Actors Theatre of Indiana fare. cover “We’re known for more uplifting and light-hearted shows,” said Don Farrell, one of the ATI founders, along with Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins. “People walk away with a little tap in their step.” That’s not likely to be the case with “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” “This one has very mature themes. It could be even considered an R-rated show,” Farrell said. No nudity, Farrell assured, but it is the tale of a murderous barber bent on revenge. “It’s a musical thriller,” Farrell said. “Stephen Sondheim has to be one of the most brilliant writers, really ever.” Farrell will play the title character. “It’s a dream role for almost every male actor,” Farrell said. “If you ask actors, ‘What are your dream roles?’ nine times out of 10, Sweeney Todd will be listed among those roles for any actor on the musical theater stage.” Farrell previously performed in “Sweeney Todd” twice before as Anthony Hope in two other productions. “‘Sweeney Todd’ is very rich with layers and layers of subplots,” Farrell said. “You could make an entire college course just analyzing this musical.” Collins, who will play the beggar woman, is also major Sondheim fan. “Sondheim is probably one of the most brilliant composers of the 20th and 21st century,” Collins said. “His shows are extremely difficult and complex and a challenge. For an actor, it’s wonderful to do a Sondheim show because of the challenge and the great satisfaction of getting over those hurdles. “I can’t emphasize enough how special it

is for actor to do a Sondheim show. You don’t see a lot of Sondheim shows around here because his work is so complex and so difficult that some theater companies don’t want to do it; they don’t think the audiences will understand it. ‘Sweeney Todd’ is in the top five of the greatest musicals ever written.” This is Richard J Roberts’ fourth time directing a show with ATI. He previously directed “My Fair Lady,” “The 39 Steps” and “The Musical of Musicals.” “It’s definitely a challenging and complicated show and one that doesn’t get done very often for that reason,” Roberts said. “The fact that we’re doing it with a small cast of 11 is part of that challenge. Sondheim music is more complicated than average music. It’s also more beautiful and exciting than the av-

erage music.” Roberts is confident the talented cast will pull it off. “They’ve put a lot of work in on their own, so they arrived the first day of rehearsal really well prepared,” Roberts said. “We have some really talented high school kids. That’s one of the things that I’m most excited about. When they first contacted me about directing the show, I said I wanted to have actual kids playing the kids, which people don’t normally do. We found these amazingly talented high school kids. So I’m really thrilled they are part of the show.” The three high school students appearing in the show are Franklin Community junior Caleb Wertz (Tobias Ragg), Crawfordsville senior Elizabeth Hutson (Johanna) and Herron junior

John Collins (Anthony Hope). Fitzgerald plays Mrs. Lovett. Johnna Tavianini, an assistant professor of musical theatre voice at Ball State University, will provide the musical direction. “She has taken a score that is usually done with a 20-person orchestra and scaled it down to five,” Farrell said.

The Hoosier Heart-Land exhibit is meant to serve as a visual love letter to our state, commemorating the people, places and things that make Indiana what it is today. The goal is to create an exhibit that can lift up visitors’ spirits on even the coldest, dreariest of February days and encourage everyone to marvel at what a complex, vibrant place Indiana has become over the past 200 years.

TOTS to present ‘Skylight’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The decision to present “Skylight” was easy for Theatre on the Square Artistic Director Lori Raffel. theater “Theatre on the Square chose ‘Skylight’ for one reason: Bill Simmons,” Raffel said. “I have watched Bill on stage in Indy theatre for years and worked with him at the Phoenix Theatre. He is a treasure, and the opportunity to work with him was just too wonderful to pass up. He brought with him Gari Williams to direct, and that clinched the deal.” Simmons performed at TOTS for several years, then moved on to Phoenix Theatre, Indiana Repertory Theatre and others. The play will run on weekends from Jan. 22 to Feb. 13 at the Christel DeHaan Main Stage. “Skylight,” written by top British playwright David Hare, won the 2015 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. Other cast members include Sarah McGee and Tyler Ostrander. McGee, who lives in Carmel, is making her TOTS debut. Raffel is a board member of Carmel Community Players and has directed there for nearly 10 years. McGee has been in several productions that Raffel directed at CCP at Clay Terrace.

Bill Simmons (who plays Tom), Sarah McGee (who plays Kyra) and Tyler Ostrander (who plays Edward) will be on stage in “Skylight.” (Submitted photo)

The plot revolves around Kyra Hollis (McGee) receiving two unexpected visitors at her London home: first the boy she used to nanny (Ostrander), then from his father and her exlover, Tom Sergeant (Simmons), a successful restaurateur whose wife has recently died. The two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship, only to find themselves locked in a battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires. “I hope that people take away from this play that even when the circumstances are stacked against you, there can be second chances for all of us,” Raffel said.

Client/Filename:

On his website tomrush.com, folk icon Tom Rush offers young people seeking a career in music two pieces of coming soon advice: One, play in front of a live audience as much as possible because, he says, “You will learn more in 30 minutes of live performance than you will in a month of rehearsing in the garage.” Two, do your best to form a personal bond with your audience. “Try to engage them from the stage; tell them stories, make them laugh, make them care about you.” That approach has worked for the 74-yearold musician for more than 50 years – ever since his first regular gig when “engaging” his audience too well cost him the job. Music fans will be able to witness for themselves just how engaging Rush can be when he plays at The Warehouse on May 19. By putting the performer and the fan on the same level, Rush creates an atmosphere of comfort and familiarity. Audiences come for distinctive acoustic guitar style – he occasionally uses a dinner knife when playing – his rich baritone vocals and his humorous storytelling. And, about that first “too successful” gig?

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas Commentary by Ceci Martinez

This past Christmas, we celebrated the holidays with all my family at the Iberostar Quetzal resort near Cancun, Mexico. Fantastic trip and for sure our favorite travel memory of 2015! A highlight was the food. We were in food heaven. Not only was it delicious to the palate, but dishes were works of art. I am sharing a dish that recreates those special memories from our recent trip. Note: You can assemble enchiladas ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze (up to a month). Serves: 5 (makes 10) / Time: 50 minutes Ingredients: 10 oz. diced green chiles roasted, such as Hatch or Anaheim, 1 tablespoon butter, 6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped, 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, 3 cups lowsodium chicken broth, divided, 10 corn tortillas (6 1/2 to 8 in. wide), 2 cups coarsely shredded Monterey jack, divided, 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken, sour cream Directions: Preheat oven to 400F. Heat oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in cilantro, chiles, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes to mix flavors. Add 1 1/4 cups broth and simmer until reduced by one-

third, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare tortillas: In a small frying pan, bring 1 1/2 cups broth to a gentle simmer. Working with one at a time, briefly dip tortillas into broth to barely soften. Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet. Do not overlap or tortillas will stick. Divide 1 1/4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shredded chicken, dividing evenly. Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer, seam side down to baking dish. Pour chile sauce over enchiladas, and top with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with sour cream. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru. For more of Ceci’s recipes, visit currentzionsville.com.

Patrick’s focuses on small plates By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Patrick’s Kitchen and Drinks is shrinking its menu items to focus on small plates. “It’s a whole concept change,” dining said Co-owner Beth Dickerson, who added that the window blinds are open, the tabletops are cleared and new artwork adorns the walls in the Main Street restaurant that was originally built to have a more formal feeling as part of Brick Street Inn. “We’re not formal people,” she said. “We brought small plates to Zionsville when we opened six years ago,” she said. “We’ve wanted to do this for a while.” The idea is for small inexpensive courses to be shared by the table according to Dickerson, “but you can still order your own small plate and not share it.” Not all items on the menu are being shrunk. Soups and sandwiches such as the Cuban and Fischer Farms Burger are unchanged. Items such as the flatiron steak are a smaller size, but two portions on one plate can be ordered by those preferring the old menu, along with sides that are now ordered separately. “If you want a traditional meal, you can still do that,” Dickerson said. Customers are encouraged to order several times during their meal. “Things come out when they’re ready,” said Dickerson, adding that the new format will be easier and faster for their small kitchen. Brunch and lunch menus remain unchanged, but beer, wine and martini flights

will be added in February. “That’s another thing that’s sharable,” Dickerson said. Menu items start at $5 and range from “Dip It” and “Cheesy Stuff” to vegetarian and surf. “When you have a lot of regulars, you want them to come but not be tired of the same thing over and over again,” she said. “But we have the same things on the menu that you love about Patrick’s. It’s like a whole new restaurant.”

IU Health is making certain its hospitals are prepared for a variety of disaster situations. More than 1,800 associemergency ates from IU Health North in Carmel, Saxony in Fishers and Tipton have completed the mandatory Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate, or A.L.I.C.E. training session. Then smaller groups took part in active shooter drills in November. “We had approximately 60 take part in an active shooter drill at IU North with the Carmel SWAT Team,” said Garry Kimble, chief of police for North Central Region for IU Health. “Then we had 25 or 30 take part in an active shooter drill at IU Saxony with the Fishers SWAT Team. I really wanted the staff to recognize the sound of gun fire and realize they only have seconds to react when they hear that sound.” The shooter used blanks to simulate the gunfire, Kimble said. Doug Market is the safety officer for North, Saxony and Tipton. “Part of my duties are to coordinate the emergency management program,” he said. “For us, it’s kind of a committee. It’s not like me being this dictator.” Market prefers to call it preparation for

out-of-the-ordinary events such as a network failure. In August, the hospitals prepared with a training exercise for both severe weather and hazardous material. “Annually, our hospitals do hazardous vulnerability analysis. It takes literally hundreds of scenarios, and we go through a risk assessment on those,” Market said. “We then look at what our top five risks right now. So severe weather in the Midwest, particularly tornadoes, always ranks really high up there. Decontamination also ranked high on our risk assessment. Three times in 2015 we’re drilled for that.”

Blueprint for Improvement: New outdoor living space with fireplace Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a space large enough for the whole family to enjoy year round. 1. A new, larger deck was added and created a space that was more feasible for entertainment and family enjoyment. 2. A roof was built over the new deck to protect the space from the weather. The new roof needed to appear as part of the original design of the home. 3. The new addition needed to allow ample natural lighting into the home without obstructing the backyard views. 4. A fireplace was added to allow the space to be enjoyed on cool evenings or winter months. 5. New outdoor furniture, wood ceiling, and a TV above the fireplace finished the look and created a very homey feel.

Before Background Info: Built in 1991, this home is located in the Windemere subdivision in Carmel. The homeowners have lived there for four years but their home lacked the outdoor space they desired.

Before problems: The current outdoor living area consisted of an exposed deck that offered no protection from the weather. The homeowners wanted to enjoy the outdoors all year without having to worry about the weather. They desired a larger area that would bring the inside out and create a more enjoyable space the whole family could enjoy.

St. Isaac’s Cathedral from Neva River. (Photo by Don Knebel)

St. Isaac’s deadly domes

Commentary by Don Knebel

The golden dome of St. Isaac’s Cathedral dominates the skyline of St. Petersburg, Russia. The massive church, said travel to be the third largest domed cathedral in the world, was built at an enormous cost in both treasure and human life. St. Petersburg’s largest cathedral, located near the Neva River, honors St. Isaac of Dalmatia, the patron saint of Peter the Great, born on the saint’s feast day. Designed to accommodate up to 14,000 standing Orthodox worshipers, the church was built from 1818 to 1858 on the order of Tsar Alexander I, who considered its predecessor unworthy of a great city. The building, mixing classical Greek and Russian elements, was designed by Auguste de Montferrand, a Parisian architect who died just after the project was completed. The church takes the shape of a Greek cross, with four bronze pediments resting on a total of 48 56-foot-tall columns, each carved from a single piece of red granite. Statues of Jesus’ disciples stand on the corners and apex

of each pediment. A 72-foot-diameter central dome, covered with 200 pounds of pure gold, is surrounded by four smaller domes. The walls of the one-acre interior of St. Isaac’s are adorned with murals and mosaics above columns of semi-precious stones. A magnificent stained glass window, rare in Orthodox churches, portrays the resurrected Jesus. Construction of St. Isaacs cost about 25 million rubles, worth perhaps $150 million today. The cost also included 60 workers killed by the mercury used in gilding the domes. In 1931, the Soviet government replaced the dove of the Holy Spirit descending from the heavenly scenes beneath St. Isaac’s central dome with a Foucault pendulum and renamed the building the “Museum of Religion and Atheism.� With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the dove has returned and church services have resumed on special occasions.
