Town of Zionsville Street Dept. and Wastewater Dept. projects Zionsville Road The road opened to all traffic late last year. Although roadwork has been suspended for the rest of the winter season, Duke Energy will continue to install decorative streetlights. Final construction will take place in the spring.

Road closures anticipated: No full closures are expected.

Estimated completion: May Background: Project involves widening Zionsville Road, which will go from two to three lanes when a center turn lane is added between Technology Center Drive and 106th Street. The project also includes adding a bike path on the west side of the road.

North/South connector Bids have been awarded and contract documents are being finalized.

Preliminary construction activities are expected to begin this month, and full construction is expected to start in the spring. The project is expected to take a full construction season.

Road closures anticipated: • Intersection of Whitestown Road and C.R. 875 E. from June 1 - Aug. • C.R. 875 E. between C.R. 550 S. and C.R. 575 S., dates to be determined.

• C.R. 850 E. south of Oak Street, dates to be determined.

Estimated completion: September Background: Design has begun on a new roadway segment that will connect the intersection of C.R. 850 E./Cooper Rd. with C.R. 875 E. to the north. The design includes a round-

about at the intersection of 850 E./ Cooper Road and Oak Street as well as a roundabout at the intersection of C.R. 875 E. and Whitestown Road. The project is also expected to include a 10-foot multi-use path.

C.R. 400 S. reconstruction and widening The project is postponed to late summer to allow Boone County REMC to complete the relocation of utility poles. Due to restrictions in scheduling power outages necessary to complete the work, it cannot begin until May 1 and requires eight to 10 weeks to complete. Road reconstruction cannot begin until all utility poles have been moved.

Road closures anticipated: Full road closure of C.R. 400 S. for approximately half a mile west of C.R. 875 E. is expected; dates to be determined.

Estimated completion: Fall Background: Project includes widening, repair and resurfacing of C.R. 400 S. to the west of C.R. 875 E. for approximately half a mile.

C.R. 500 S. reconstruction and widening Design is ongoing. It is anticipated that utilities will be relocated during winter with road construction beginning in summer.

Road closures anticipated: Full road closures are anticipated.

Estimated completion: Fall Background: The project improves and widens C.R. 500 S. from C.R. 875 E.

approximately 0.4 miles to the west.

The project will reconstruct a portion of the road and widen its existing width to 24 feet. The project is funded partially from private developer funds.

Ford Road and Bloor Lane roundabout Work is nearly complete on new landscape and hardscape elements within the center of the roundabout.

Background: Roundabout includes low masonry walls and upgraded plant materials. The tree at the center that was planted by a local Eagle Scout candidate will be preserved.

Irongate Drainage and Improvement Project Pre-construction is taking place this month. Because the project includes a new storm sewer pipe crossing under Oak Street, traffic control personnel will be utilized during this portion of the project to keep Oak Street open. Local access for residents and businesses within the project area will be maintained, but short-term driveway closures will be necessary.

Road closures anticipated: No fullroad closures are expected. The south lane of eastbound Oak Street will be closed during construction between Irongate Drive and the Walgreen’s entrance.

Estimated completion: To be determined Background: Project is intended to mitigate localized street flooding in the Irongate subdivision. It involves the installation of a new storm sewer pipe along the south side of Oak Street from Irongate Drive to just west of Ford Road.

Municipal Services Building Pathway Design work is nearly complete. It is expected that the project will be awarded for construction prior to the end of the year and that construction will begin in the spring.

Road closures anticipated: None Estimated completion: December Background: A multi-use pathway will be constructed along the west side of the Municipal Services Building. Project will provide a route from the sidewalk system along Parkway Drive south to Starkey Trail.

Zionsville student receives statewide volunteer award news@currentinzionsville.com The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards named Zionsville Middle School Student Margaret Dimmett one of Indiana’s top two youth GIVING volunteers of 2020.

Dimmett, 13, an eighth-grader at ZMS, established a charity with her sister, Kate, that has raised more than $13,000 over the past three years to buy instruments, sheet music and other musical equipment for schools and music programs across Indiana.

The sisters both began playing the violin at age 3. And when their parents began shopping for a new violin for Kate, the girls realized how expensive instruments are, limiting children’s access to musical equipment.

“We wanted to provide as many students as possible with the chance to be exposed to music in their schools or through other programs,” Margaret stated.

Margaret and Kate asked local businesses for support and for opportunities to perform for donations. The girls were soon playing at ice cream shops, furniture stores, farmers markets and sporting events, often joined by classmates and community members, according to the release.

The siblings also launched an annual fall-letter-writing campaign to raise contributions and requested donations from family and friends in lieu of birthday gifts.

Since 2017, more than 20 musicians and vocalists have performed at fund-

raising events for Margaret’s foundation, “Notable Measures.” During that time, the organization has made grants of $300 to $1,000 to eight schools and music/arts organizations across the state, according to the release. They’ve also provided scholarships for three students to play in a youth orchestra.

“Margaret is an example of a young person who has used her talents and drive to create awareness and support for a statewide need. She is making a difference,” Zionsville Community Schools Supt. Scott Robison stated.

As a state honoree, Margaret will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and an all-expense-paid trip in early May to Washington, D.C., where she will join Emily Graves, 17, of La Porte, and the top two honorees from other states for four days of national recognition events.

Self-reliant bike repair Commentary by Ward Degler When I was a kid growing up in Missouri, if something broke, we fixed it. It never dawned on us to throw it away and buy a new PLAIN TALK one.

We used fountain pens for writing, and after a couple years scrawling out themes about what we did last summer, the rubber bladder that held the ink would grow brittle, crack and leak.

We replaced them. It was dirty business because the ink got on our hands, and we had blue fingers for several days.

Another thing we fixed were our bicycles. Face it, anything with moving parts will break, and our bikes back then had a lot of moving parts. Every bike came with a tool kit, a leather bag that hung from the back of the seat. With it, you could fix anything on the bike that broke.

Sometimes the chain would snap.

We always kept spare links in our tool kits, and in 20 minutes or less we would be back on the road. A more serious but equally common failure was the coaster brake – that series of gears and discs that allowed you to pedal forward, coast or reverse the pedal and apply the brakes.

We didn’t have friction brakes attached to cables on the handlebars like today’s bikes do. Ours were all in the rear wheel. We also had big

balloon tires. The only guys who had skinny-tire bikes were racers, and most of them lived in France.

There were two kinds of coaster brake: Moreau and New Departure.

Expensive bikes like Schwinn had New Departure. My bike came from Montgomery Ward. It had a Moreau coaster brake.

You knew your brake had failed when you applied it and felt a distinct crunch followed by a rumbling vibration – a sound you might get grinding up walnuts in the garbage disposal.

The local hardware store kept a ready supply of replacements, but it would still take half a day to get back on the street. It took that long because when the old departure broke, it chewed itself into a thousand pieces. You first had to remove the big chunks, then scrape out the small pieces and wash out the hub with kerosene and dry it before installing the new brake with a giant glob of axel grease.

Some of those old balloon-tire bikes are still around, of course, but I doubt if the local hardware still carries Moreau and New Departure coaster brakes.

Chamber to publish guide

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, in a new partnership with Current Publishing, will produce ZCC a 2020 chamber guide.

Allyson Gutwein, executive director of the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, said the organization’s goal is to “make our business community that is strong, stronger.”

“And we do that by supporting our members through strong programming and having new initiatives that will lead to more specific programming in order to make their businesses better,” Gutwein said.

She said the chamber guide, a glossy, magazine-sized information booklet, will help the chamber notify residents and visitors of the chamber’s efforts and the businesses it champions. The most recent guide was published in 2018.

“The nicest thing about the guide is that people who are coming into town who are unfamiliar with Zionsville get a really nice snapshot of what Zionsville is in that guide,” Gutwein said. “People can share it with friends, they can keep it for themselves, and it’s something that they can just use in order to find what they’re looking for at their fingertips for the Town of Zionsville and beyond.”

The guide will have information about major events and information about chamber members, businesses and the services they provide. Gutwein will write an introduction.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with the chamber on this project,” Current Publisher Brian Kelly said.

“We enjoy our relationship with Allyson Gutwein, and we’re looking forward to continuing to serve this vibrant community in an additional way.”

New tech less invasive for more

With a Heart Attack...

Minutes Matter.

24/7 CATH LAB AND CARDIAC CARE IS AT IU HEALTH NORTH HOSPITAL.

11700 N. Meridian St. | Carmel, IN 46032 Learn more at iuhealth.org/north ©2020 IUHealth

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As modern medicine helps people live longer and catch certain conditions earlier, HEART HEALTH cardiologists are diagnosing a wider range of problems in a larger pool of patients.

But those same advances are helping physicians provide treatment in a much less invasive way.

At IU Health North in Carmel, doctors Lambert are using cardiac-specific MRI and CT scans and ultrasounds with 3-D capability to look inside the heart without surgery, according to Nathan Lambert, director of cardiology for IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton hospitals.

Other new technologies also are helping make treatment less painful for patients, he said, and some procedures that once required a trip to the operating room can now be done in a cardiac catherization lab.

“Everything is becoming less invasive, and we are focusing more on being proactive in preventing heart disease,” Lambert said. “For example, there is still a role for bypass surgery for heart and vascular blockages, but we can treat many of these blockages with balloons and stents, including in the heart and in the legs, which is much less invasive than open surgery.”

As treatments evolve, traditional methods remain key in preventing heart disease in the first place.

“Know the common risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and family history,” Lambert said. “Do not be in denial about your own risk.”

COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS Discussing mental health treatment options in schools

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Local residents expressed concern as to how legislators will determine where “the intersection between parental rights and mental health treatment” exists during a recent COVER STORY legislative breakfast.

State lawmakers Sen. Brian Buchanan, Rep. Tim Brown, Rep. Donna Schaibley, Rep. Jeff Thompson and Sen. Phil Boots gathered Feb. 1 at the Lebanon Public Library to discuss topics most important to Boone County residents.

How to navigate mental health care in schools was among the primary topics.

In previous legislative sessions, including last year’s, bills were introduced advocating for mental health care in schools. Some were tied to bills addressing school safety.

Mental health care in schools, and how it relates to school safety, has entered public discussion following an uptick in mass shootings in recent years.

The shootings have particularly affected schools and college campuses, including one at Noblesville West Middle School in 2018 that injured a student and a teacher.

This year, another school health care-focused bill has been introduced, with eight Republican co-authors and five Democrat co-authors. Senate bill 246 would require a school to certify to the Dept. of Homeland Security that it has a memorandum of understanding in place with a community mental health center or provider, certified or licensed by the state, to provide services to students before applying for a grant from the Indiana Secured School Safety Grant Program.

Since its inception in 2013, the Indiana Secured School Safety Grant Program has awarded more than $72 million in matching grants to Indiana school districts to address safety concerns.

Under the bill’s current language, schools would not be able to refer a child to a mental health care provider without the permission of a parent or guardian. It also states that schools would not note diagnoses in the child’s school records, or any other information regarding their mental health, with the exception of medications the child might take.

Last year, a wide-ranging school safety bill was expunged of all references to mental health in the last days of the legislative session because of parental rights concerns. The bill, House bill 1004,

Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library will host a third legislative breakfast in Boone County from 7:30 to 9 a.m.

Feb. 22 at 250 N. 5th St. Registration isn’t required.

which passed, would have allowed schools to pursue grant money dedicated to improve school safety to fund mental health services before the references were removed.

“I think teachers can identify some kids that have some troubles, some issues,” Buchanan said.

“And the whole (question) last year, probably more so this year, is, where is that intersection between parental rights and mental Buchanan health treatment?”

Buchanan acknowledged the answer is difficult to determine, but he said he would support a third party being involved to offer mental health services, but only with a parent’s consent.

“You want to get children the mental health treatment they need, but you also have to protect parental rights,” Buchanan said.

Pascal Fettig, executive director of Mental Health America of Boone County, a local chapter of a national nonprofit dedicated to addressing the needs of those living with mental illness and promoting the overall mental health of all Americans, said that while Fettig parents should be involved, early identification of mental health issues is important for the quality of life of children.

Fettig said many of the early identifiers of mental health issues are misidentified as behavior problems by nonprofessionals.

“It needs to be diagnosed,” Fettig said. “We really

need that early identification. The quicker you treat it when it starts, the better the quality of life, and I think professionals are the ones who truly need to identify and treat (issues).”

Jill Hardee, a fourth-grade teacher at Stokes Elementary, said it’s easy for her and other teachers to identify which children’s families need to consider mental health treatment for their child. One of the problems she has observed is parents sometimes refuse to get their child treatment based on a teacher’s recommendation. Another problem she sees is parents can’t afford the treatment that their child needs.

Another legislative breakfast is scheduled for 7:30 to 9 a.m. Feb. 22 at Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library, 250 N. 5th St., in Zionsville.

Second chances

‘In God We Trust’

Commentary by Terry Anker Famed American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in a 1932 essay, “My Lost City,” that “I once thought that there were no second acts in American lives, but there was certainly to be a second act to New York’s boom days.”

The line exposed the resilience of the great city following a period of poor decisions and adverse externalities. Fitzgerald’s novels, including the literary classic “The Great Gatsby,” often wrestled with the notion of redemption. Unlike Gatsby, New York would rise again.

Recently, pundits have debated the entry of one-time political highflier Carl Brizzi into an already crowded local congressional primary battle (note, Brizzi, former Marion County prosecutor, is a reader and well-known to this columnist). To some, his peccadillos, while arguably unsubstantiated, have come to cause doubt in his prudence. Examination is warranted.

Still, are we best defined by what we have been? Or better, should we be measured by what we have the potential to become? Divorced?

Failed business? Less than stellar fourth-grade student? When, if ever, are we fully defined? When can we no longer expect the dawn to follow the night? In a world of ubiquitous social media spouting, do our failures become indelible stains on our lives? Or, are they simply the hardship that frames and molds us along the way? How are we judged as a human in full?

The voters will decide if Brizzi gets a second act. But, who decides about us?

Most unwonderful time of the year

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

February ... am I right? As I was contemplating my weekly missive this morning, on the way to a HUMOR dance competition, mind you, it occurred to me that I’m not a huge fan of this month.

Dreary weather, no sunshine, and the lamest holiday of the year, Valentine’s Day. Seriously, Valentine’s Day ranks about 74th on my list of celebratory dates, right between Mammogram Awareness and the Ides of March. If I want an excuse to eat sea salt caramel hearts, I’ll just pretend I’m having a low-sodium moment and be done.

No excruciating card-buying experience necessary.

Anyway, while these depressing thoughts are circulating, I glanced at my teenage daughter, who was simultaneously applying fake eyelashes and sneering. She was operating on 5 hours of sleep and no caffeine and was frustrated that I was making her wear a seat belt. The horror! I’m Mom-

mie Dearest, apparently. Her attitude did not improve my take on February.

Naturally, then, I missed my exit, like I do every time I drive to this particular venue. You would think that after probably 18 trips during the last few years, I would know to head east on I-70 and not west. Even worse, Barb, my Google Maps voice, totally judged me afterward: “Recalculating route, you idiot!” Ugh. February — this is all your fault!

Yes, you bring Black History Month and great college basketball and a three-day weekend for some, but you are simply too cold and dark and boring, even during a leap year. And you turn my children into brats and impair brain functioning. No, February, I am not a fan.

Peace out.

Editor, Senate Bill 131 soon (willl go before) the Indiana House for committee hearings and approval of being a posted addition with our national and state flags in public and private schools’ classrooms and libraries. I support this addition with the two flags. Our children need to know the history of our republic and how “In God We Trust” came to be a national motto on our coins and public buildings.

“In God We Trust” first came about in the last stanza of our national anthem, written by Frances Scott Key during the War of 1812.

During the Civil War, many religious leaders sent letters of sentiment to the secretary of treasury to place the motto on coins which would most likely be passed on both sides of a war-torn United States.

With the polarizing events in our country this small gesture may bring about some sanity to Hoosiers. Contact your Indiana representative and tell them to vote ‘yes’ on Senate Bill 131.

Hide and (continually) seek Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Last weekend, some friends called at the last minute to ask if they could drop by. Panic set in.

HUMOR We had a lot of areas to straighten up.

Of course, no matter how successful we were at making order out of the chaos, the first thing my wife would say when our friends arrived was the obligatory, “I’m so sorry the place is such a mess.”

The clock was running. Guests were on the way. That’s when the old toaster was taken off the counter and stuffed in the kitchen pantry. The cat’s scratching post was rolled under a bed. The kitty litter was placed on the cellar steps. I even put the cat in the storage room because she snarls at strangers. The ugly basket with all the TV remotes that sat on the coffee table was hidden behind a chair.

The guest bathroom was sufficiently clean, but there was a chance someone might want to use my bathroom (yes, I have my own bathroom; that’s why we have been happily married for 40 years).

“Hide everything,” Mary Ellen said.

“Your bathroom is a disgrace.”

I grabbed all my medications off the counter, my electric toothbrush, the Norelco shaver, a gallon-size bottle of minty-blue mouthwash, two combs and three hairbrushes and hid them in the … well, I put them under the …

behind the …I had no clue where they were. I should have kept track.

Our dining room table had become the depository for bills and assorted important papers. My wife has always been concerned about leaving material like this out in plain sight. She thinks it all should be secured in a place where no one can find it. Well, mission accomplished.

When our friends left, it was time for us to find everything. And quick. I was sure the cat had to pee and was anxious to scratch her post. I wanted to watch TV and Mary Ellen wanted to pay some bills. We spent most of the next morning looking for stuff we had squirreled away. We didn’t find everything, but I did locate the huge pile of instruction manuals for all our new appliances in the back of the laundry closet. I hid those two years ago before our housewarming party.

So, that’s where they’ve been?

The next morning, I couldn’t brush my teeth, comb my hair or take my Lipitor. Fortunately, when I got in the shower, I found all the items from my countertop piled up in the back end of the tub. I know that eventually everything else will show up, too. Mary Ellen really misses the cat.

CoderDojo to offer 12-week program

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com CoderDojo is offering 12-week coding classes for Zionsville children ages 7-17.

The courses start Feb. 23 STEM and will be from 2 to 4 p.m. every Sunday at zWorks, 85 E. Cedar St. 1502.

CoderDojo is a global volunteer-led community of free programming workshops for children. It is a grassroots organization with individual clubs operating independently and led by local experts in STEM fields.

CoderDojo’s vision is for every child worldwide to have the opportunity to learn to code and provide a chance to learn about technology in a safe and social environment, according to its website.

Class topics include Scratch and App Inventor, Python, robotics, 3-D

printing and Roblox game development. Scratch and App Inventor teaches children to build games and Android apps. Coding experience isn’t required.

Classes include field trips, guest sessions and technology events.

Parents should ensure their child has a functioning laptop and a Google account to participate.

Heather Osborn-Hass, visual designer at Petal Snap and instructor of Scratch, said learning the basics is important for children.

“You have to have some logic, but we finesse your logical thinking,” Osborn-Hass said.

Osborn-Hass said classes not only teach coding, but also build a community and teach children social skills by having them help each other with tasks which with they may not be familiar.

LE PEEP OPENS IN WHITESTOWN

A Le Peep restaurant opened in Whitestown Feb. 6. The eatery serves breakfast, brunch and lunch and has franchises throughout central Indiana, including in neighboring Zionsville. The Whitestown location is only the second to have a liquor license allowing it to serve mimosas, Bloody Marys, wine and vodka cocktails, according to store manager Erica Miller. She said the restaurant plans to add more drink options in the future. (Photo by Jarred Meeks)

DISPATCH Stock up on TV stocks — The most likely winner of the 2020 presidential election? The stocks of local TV broadcasters. Their revenues should benefit from a record $3.3 billion in spending on political ads broadcast in 2019 and 2020, nearly double the $1.7 billion spent in 2016, according to Advertising Analytics. That’s thanks in part to a crowded Democratic presidential field and to President Donald Trump, who is e­ xpected to attract more donations as an incumbent and spend much more on his re-election campaign than he did on the first campaign. Beyond the boost from presidential campaigns, local TV broadcasters are also good investments beyond 2020. They continue to grow through acquisitions, scooping up weaker players in the wake of the FCC’s 2017 rollback of rules designed to limit single-company control of many local broadcast properties. 2022 will see TV-ad spending for 36 governor races, up from 11 in 2020.

Smith takes on physical role in CCP’s ‘Lend Me a Tenor’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Some might consider this to be Tom Smith’s fourth act.

The Westfield resCOMEDY ident was an English teacher at several central Indiana school districts, followed by a 23-year career as an FBI agent in the Minneapolis, New York and Indianapolis field offices. After retiring in 2006, Smith served on the Westfield City Council.

Smith, 70, then began acting four years ago and performs as much as possible.

“I’m trying to catch up for lost time,” he said.

Smith will be in his biggest role yet in Carmel Community Players’ production of “Lend Me a Tenor” Feb. 27 to March 8 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

“This is a challenge for me, not only because there is a lot of lines but there is a lot of running around, and I’m not a young man,” Smith said. “It’s a physical show. It’s a lot of work to get ready for, but it’s going to be hilarious.”

Smith plays Saunders, the manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Co., in the farce by Ken Ludwig. Smith said he had no reservations about taking the part. “(Director Susan Rardin) offered it to me and I jumped at it,” he said.

“It’s the most energetic farce I’ve ever been in. I love the cast.”

Smith said he auditions for roles he believes he has a shot at getting.

“I’m a little old for the part but it fit me pretty well,” he said.

Smith said his daughter, Jessica, from Chicago, and son, Tom, an Indianapolis police officer, will attend the show because he has a large part.

Carmel resident J.D. Walls plays Tito, or Il Stupendo, the greatest tenor of his generation.

“I’ve been in Ken Ludwig’s ‘Moon Over Buffalo’ at Civic Theatre,” Walls said. “I’ve always wanted to do this show, so when I saw they were doing it, I was first in line to audition.”

The production is Walls’ first with CCP. He planned to audition for Saunders, but Rardin wanted him to audition for Tito.

“It’s a great part and a lot of fun,” Walls said. “It’s a farce, so there is a lot of physical comedy and a lot of timing. It’s outrageousness and misdirection.”

Walls said he had never worked with Rardin or any of the cast before, but everyone has been fantastic.

“I think this will be a big crowd-pleaser as far as a show,” he said.

Caity Withers, who lives in Speedway, plays the female lead of Maggie.

“Every single character gets to do something fun and funny,” Withers said. “Maggie is fun because she is hopeful and earnest, but she is definitely someone used to getting her way. If she doesn’t get her way, she will go to great lengths to make sure she does get her way.”

Withers, from Anderson, did theater when she was younger and then picked it back up a few years ago.

“I saw this show a few years ago and thought it was hilarious, so when I saw the audition notice, I knew I wanted to try out,” she said.

Tyler Marx, Anderson, is performing in his second CCP production.

He played in “The Failure to Zig-Zag,” which Rardin directed in the summer of 2019 “This is my first farce, but I like it so far,” said Marx, who plays Max. “It’s high energy and a lot of fun. The challenge is having all your actions synched up with the other actors.”

Address: 28153 West Ditch Rd., Sheridan What to get: The Screaming Goat pizza Price: $9 Anna’s take: My first trip to Blackhawk Winery was definitely enjoyable.

It offers great pizza options to pair with its wines. Typically, pizzas can be ordered with cheese, pepperoni, sausage, olive, onion or mushrooms, but there also are specialty pizzas, depending on the season. I sampled a pepperoni, olive and onion pizza, a sausage and mushroom pizza, a straw-

The Screaming Goat is a specialty pizza that is not always available. It’s topped with goat cheese crumbles, fig preserves, bacon and onion on a flatbread crust. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

berry balsamic specialty pizza with mozzarella, strawberry slices, bacon, onion and balsamic, and a goat cheese pizza called The Screaming Goat, with fig preserves, goat cheese crumbles, bacon and onion. All pizzas are $9 for a whole or $4.50 for a half. The flatbread is not greasy and can withstand the weight of the toppings and is of a thinbut-soft consistency.

Suggested pairings: For the best option, ask your server which wine to pair with which pizza, as options change depending on which toppings are added. However, give the Sheridan wine a try. It is named after the grape varietal, not after the Town of Sheridan. The Sheridan grape is a sweeter grape, similar to a Concord grape, and creates a dark rose color in the wine.

Behind bars: Italian lemon drop martini Get it at Pasto Italiano, Westfield Ingredients: 1.25 oz. Absolut Citron vodka, .75 oz limoncello, 3 lemon slices, simple syrup, sugar rim, lemon garnish Directions: Shake vodka, limoncello, the juice of three lemon slices and a dash of simple syrup with ice and strain into a martini glass with a sugar rim. Garnish with a lemon slice.

Ruins of El Badi Palace in Marrakech, Morocco. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of the onceincomparable palace Commentary by Don Knebel Just south of the famous central square in Marrakech, Morocco, are the ruins of El Badi, perhaps TRAVEL once the world’s most spectacular palace.

In 1578, Ahmad al-Mansur, a member of the Saadi dynasty that had ruled Morocco since 1549, became ruler after his brother, the sultan, died in a victorious battle against the Portuguese, who had sought to bring Christianity to Morocco. The Portuguese were forced to pay enormous sums to al-Mansur to ransom their many important prisoners taken in what became known as the Battle of the Three Kings.

Al-Mansur used the money to begin building a magnificent palace in Marrakech, his capital. The palace became known in Arabic as El Badi, “The Incomparable.” The El Badi palace, which took 25 years to complete, lived up to its name. Modeled on the Alhambra in Granada, the palace contained 360 rooms, a massive courtyard and a reflecting pool 300 feet by 60 feet. It included stables for

the sultan’s horses and dungeons for his prisoners. The palace was adorned with marble from Italy, gold from Sudan and jade from China. Al-Mansur used the palace to host lavish receptions for ambassadors from Spain, England and the Ottoman Empire, displaying Moroccan power.

When al-Mansur died in 1603, the Saadi dynasty began a period of decline and lost power entirely to the Alaouites in 1649. Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif, an Alaouite sultan who began his reign in 1672, moved the Moroccan capital from Marrakech to Meknes and spent 10 years destroying the El Badi palace, both to use its materials in his own palace and to destroy vestiges of the Saadis. Today, only remnants of El Badi remain, but it is an important destination for visitors to Marrakech, who can imagine the scale and grandeur of the once-incomparable palace.
