Zionsville Town Council stops Sycamore Flats development, 4-3

By Jarred Meeks • news@currentzionsville.com The Zionsville Town Council voted 4-3 June 3 to deny the approval of a contentious luxury apartment complex, moving against the recommendation of the town’s DEVELOPMENT plan commission.

The proposed 4-acre development, Sycamore Flats, would have been at West Sycamore Street off of the town’s Main Street brick road.

A standing-room-only crowd filled the lower Town Hall conference room, forcing dozens to watch the meeting on a live stream upstairs.

Opponents wore red “Vote No” stickers and matching red shirts.

Council President Josh Garrett, Council Vice President Bryan Traylor and council members Kevin Spees and Jason Plunkett voted against the development. Council members Tom Schuler, Elizabeth Hopper and Susana Suarez voted in favor.

Schuler said he was disappointed with the vote, adding that the town missed an opportunity to increase “the economic vibrancy of the downtown area” and “help drainage issues downtown.”

Schuler said he hopes there will be other projects in the future the town will consider, especially those that benefit the county.

“We have a housing shortage in Boone County, and we have to do something,” Schuler said.

“We are on the short side of that right now.”

Julia Leonard, a Zionsville resident, said she knew the the vote would be contentious and was unsure if the development would be ap-

proved. The council voted 3-3 during its May 6 meeting when Plunkett, who would cast the tie-breaking vote June 3, was not present.

Leonard said she couldn’t be happier about the outcome.

“I thought that (the council members) took the town’s views into consideration – the petition and all of our yard signs, and all the hard work we have done to show how much we care about Zionsville,” she said.

The 184-unit luxury apartment project drew controversy for months because of its size and density compared to Zionsville’s other buildings in the downtown area, but some residents – more than 3,500 had signed a petition expressing their disapproval before the meeting – also found other reasons to oppose the development, including traffic and environmental concerns.

Cynthia Carr, center, and her dog, Louie, visit IUPUI on the eve of final exams. (Photos by Ben Stout)

Commentary by Brad Thompson

The Love on a Leash Team of, from right, Cindy Fitch, Karen Naber of Zionsville and Becky Moore talk with Nancy Jacobs, in a wheelchair, as they get ready to enter Maple Park, an assisted-living home in Westfield.

Patient Rhonda Geiger was in a serious car accident that left her mostly paralyzed. When Karen Naber and her dog, Howdy, visited, Geiger had made progress in that she can now move her hands and forearms a little. The opportunity to pet the dog seems to help her move her hands.

Love on a Leash brings emotional support through pet visits to people in need of a little bit of sunshine. The North Central Indiana Chapter visits, among other places, skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, universities, libraries and hospices and conducts one-on-one visits. The chapter focuses on the counties north of Indianapolis, including Boone County.

Pets can have a relaxing and therapeutic effect. Researchers have found that all people need to touch and be touched in a caring way. Therapy dogs create an opportunity for that touch.

For those interested in participating with their dogs, the process of qualifying a pet as a therapy pet is different for that of a service dog, for example, for a blind person. A therapy pet needs to be able to follow basic obedience commands like sit and come and be well-behaved around other pets. They can be any size, breed, color, shape, sex or age (older than 12 months).

The ideal therapy pet should enjoy being around people.

RESTORE SUPPORTS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

Commentary by Brad Thompson

ReStore volunteer Will Luczak, right, helps customer Tim Scanlan sort through recently donated but not yet displayed electrical components. He found an unopened box of exactly the kind of wire he needed.

ReStore will pick up items too big for the owners to deliver. It sends a truck around three times a week.

ReStore Ambassadors Roy Cooper, right, and Dara Jones load a couch from the Beth Beck family of Zionsville.

Late last year, Habitat for Humanity of Boone County opened a store at 10650 Andrade Dr. in Zionsville.

ReStore accepts and resells donated furniture, appliances and building materials, in keeping with the mission of Habitat to provide homes for those who cannot afford them without help.

Habitat believes that all hard-working individuals and families should have access to the benefits and stability of homeownership. It partners with families to build simple, decent and affordable housing.

ReStore should not be confused with other charitable organizations that resell clothing, books and other household goods. Since Habitat’s mission is to help people build homes, it accepts and resells items connected to that mission. Furniture is a large amount of its inventory, but it also sells such items as light fixtures, sinks, refrigerators, doors, window air conditioners, replacement windows, wiring, wood trim, flooring and washers and dryers.

The store is open Thursday through Saturday and is staffed almost entirely by volunteers. For those interested in dropping off goods, the store is open every day but Sunday. The store will even send a truck to pick up those items that are too big for the owners to deliver. For more, visit boonehabitat.org/restore.

Robbins, Harder return to participate in Miss Indiana competition

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Samantha Robbins has become a fixture at the Miss Indiana competition.

The Zionsville ComCOVER STORY munity High School graduate will be making her fourth consecutive appearance in the competition, which will conclude with the finals June 15 at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center. She will be joined by 2015 ZCHS graduate Paige Harder in Miss Indiana and two ZCHS students, Olivia Broadwater and Shaylee Barnes, in the Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen competition. Preliminary competition is set for June 12 to 14.

Prior to Miss Indiana, Robbins, a 2016 ZCHS graduate, had competed in Miss Indiana Outstanding Teen three consecutive years.

Robbins had considered taking this year off from competition to pursue an internship in graphic design.

“One of my close friends, Lydia Tremaine, was crowned Miss Indiana and I knew I wanted to be with her this June when she is giving up the title,” Robbins said. “My ultimate goal is to become Miss Indiana and represent Indiana at Miss America and all around our state one day. I don’t see any reason to stop competing if I’m growing and learning each and every year. I’ve just decided to keep going and it’s been beneficial to me.”

She qualified by winning the Miss Ball State title and will be a senior at the university this fall.

Robbins’ talent is tap dancing.

“My first year at Miss Indiana I rapped, so I went from rapping to tapping,” she said.

“I’ve taken the highest level of tap dance class, so now I just have to tap on my own to stay up with that.”

Robbins’ platform continues to be substance abuse prevention.

“I work at Late Nite, which is Ball State’s alcohol-free party we have every weekend,” she said. “We have a free carnival for everyone. We like to create a healthy environment alternative to the alcohol culture of a college student.”

Harder was the second runner-up

last year in the competition. She earned the Miss Hoosier Spirit title and Edward Poe Instrumental Scholarship for piano performance.

“I started (playing piano) when I was 6 years old, so it’s definitely something that I’m passionate about,” Harder said.

Harder graduated from Taylor University in December 2018 with a major in exercise science. She works full time for a nurse practitioner. She plans to return to accelerated nursing school with a goal of becoming a nurse practitioner. Harder’s family moved to Carmel when she was in college.

Fittingly, Harder’s platform is promoting physical activity and overcoming inactive lifestyles.

Harder embraces the camaraderie at the competition.

“I was blown away by how gracious the other girls were,” said Harder, who qualified by winning the Miss Central Indiana title and also competed one year in the Miss Indiana Outstanding Teen competition.

Robbins agreed the women support each other.

“It’s like a whole comedy variety show backstage,” she said.

I’m just looking forward to a fun week,” she said.

Shaylee Barnes, who will be a ZCHS junior, is in the Miss Outstanding Teen competition for the second consecutive year.

“The thing that keeps me coming back is the relationships that I’ve made,” Barnes said. “I’m so close to all the other girls. I have to keep coming back because they’re from all over the state, so pageants are the only place I really get to see them and hang out with them a lot.”

Barnes’ platform is mental health awareness.

“My mom (Nikki Barnes) used to work at the Children’s Home (in Lebanon), so I got to know some of the kids, and hearing their stories made me want to educate other people on mental health issues,” she said.

ESSAY Coming of age

LETTER Wilson is satire

Commentary by Terry Anker Ours is increasingly a “youth” culture — not in that we have particular respect for the young, but more that we seem all too fixated on what it is to affect the impression of such in those of us who are decidedly not, at least in any real chronological way. Awaiting the semi-annual dental cleaning, one might peruse the accumulated and sundry magazines scattered in the waiting room. Even the casual observer flipping through the pages is struck by the age and appearance of the models shilling products and services. With the occasional expectation of pharmaceutical ads, the folks often sexualizing the goods are children. In fact, data aggregator Statista.com reports that 55 percent of working female fashion models begin younger than 16.

Of particular concern is that highend design houses are often the most egregious with children being used to overtly titillate and tempt.

One hopes that the world of shoppers is not secretly overwhelmingly comprised of pedophiles. So, why are children parading around in adult clothing like some perverted game of dress-up?

Has our obsession to see ourselves as young driven this twist?

Plastic surgeries, especially among men, are up exponentially these past decades. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, overall procedures are up 115 percent since the year 2000 alone.

Even more, we affect hipster language, wear clothing that, suffice it to say, may not be designed with a middle-aged body in mind.

Is it enough to say that we are the best we can be for our age group without fixating that we look the youngest? Can we like the age we are? Haven’t we earned it?

Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Editor, Danielle Wilson has been receiving some negative comments of late, recently regarding her column on kids coming home for the summer. Her columns are meant to be light reading. It’s humor. It’s satire. Come on people, lighten up! I enjoy her writing and hope she keeps up the good work.

Family enjoys Wilson column

Another graduation jubilation Commentary by Danielle Wilson I survived another high school graduation, folks, and this time I never even came close to tears. Am I a terrible mother? Did I throw out my soul with the HUMOR thousands of dirty diapers I’ve changed? Or was my impressive lack of melancholy because seeing two more kiddos prepare to leave the nest makes me outrageously giddy? Let’s explore.

Despite winning co-Mom of the Year back in 2002 (yes, it’s true), I’ve definitely dropped the parenting ball on numerous occasions.

I’ve allowed naked toddlers in public libraries, forgotten middle-schoolers after practice and skipped dance competitions and color guard championships more times than I can count. I also rarely cook anything that doesn’t begin life in a Kraft box and yell at my family when they are loud past 9 p.m.. (Mama needs her sleep!). But terrible mother? My twins graduated, didn’t they?

And neither has been incarcerated!

And I’m not soulless. I’m stoic. If I’m going to become emotional, I much prefer the privacy of McDonald’s bathrooms and Chick-fil-A drive-thrus to a stadium full of strangers. So, I suppress all feelings until I can be alone (you’re welcome, by the way; I’m an awkward weeper). But that doesn’t mean I’m devoid of a soul (although being a redhead might!).

This brings us to the last possibility, that I’m simply excited to have finished the marathon of raising twins. And what a race it has been! When I remember those early days of double feedings, diaper changes and carseats, I’m amazed at how far they’ve come.

And how far I’ve come.

Was I going to cry over their graduation?

Absolutely not. Fist bumps were in order.

Peace out.

Editor, For the record, I love Danielle Wilson’s column.

I find it humorous, real and entertaining, among other things. Our family moved here from North Carolina approximately five years ago, and I started reading her column shortly thereafter. My husband has even started reading it.

So, to the negative Nellie who felt compelled to write a complaint about her, I’m writing to affirm our enjoyment of her stories!

And as Ms. Wilson would say, “Peace out!”

Can I test-dive the submarine car?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The sender of a recent email to me identified herself as “Brand Manager, Hammacher Schlemmer.” This could have HUMOR meant only two things: Trouble or big trouble.

In a recent column about the Hammacher Schlemmer Father’s Day gifts issue, I made fun of their Kangaroo Skin Wallet (they took the only animal that could carry a wallet and made one out of him) and their life-size reproduction of an iconic Central Park bench which I said (falsely) came with squirrels and pigeons. I clicked on the email, wondering if my insurance covered lawsuits for making fun of selfie toasters. To my great relief, here’s the gist of what the letter said: “This is Ann Marie from Hammacher Schlemmer. We are very proud of our brand and appreciate your humorous descriptions of our products. So Hammacher Schlemmer would like to send you something. Can we just call it a thank you?”

Yes … YES, call it a thank you. Or feel free to call it a bribe. Whatever gets me the coolest gift.

Ann Marie then called and asked me what gift I would choose. I told her I wanted to

do a little research. I Googled, “Most expensive Hammacher Schlemmer Gifts” and here were three I found: Emotive Robotic Avatar: At only $65,000, you can get it to talk, and it expresses five emotions (which might be two or three more than your significant other) The submarine sports car: At $2 million, the vehicle has two built-in scuba tanks, allowing you to stay underwater for two hours — something you can’t do with a $6 snorkel and a pair of flippers.

The fire-breathing dragon: This is a remote-controlled dragon that flies 70 mph and shoots flames out of its mouth. It’s only $75,000. At that price, I assume the batteries are sold separately.

I think I’ll just request a $20 gift certificate.

Note to Hammacher Schlemmer: If you do decide to send me the $2 million submarine sports car, I promise I’ll write a funny column about it.

Witham wants to improve community health

By Jarred Meeks news@currentzionsville.com

Witham Health Services’ Executive Director Jeff Byrum said the company’s mission isn’t to increase market DIABETES shares and profit margins but to serve Boone County, in part by opening an endocrinology practice in July and offering breast cancer services in the summer and pulmonary/respiratory services in the fall.

“Growing up in Zionsville, I understand, with small business owners, what makes (a business) successful is when a customer stays local and shops local,” Byrum said.

“And what we take pride in at Witham is we provide health care local.”

Last month at Zionsville Town Hall, the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce conducted a business breakfast, giving Witham Health officials the opportunity to inform community members of the health network’s plans to expand offerings in the county, particularly its plans for a new endocrinology practice in the Zionsville medical center at 1650 W. Oak St. Dr. Neha Gavin spoke at the event and said early in her career she knew she wanted to promote overall public health, not simply treat patients when they have a health issue. That goal led her to the practice of endocrinology, the study of hormones.

Gavin said the staggering rise in Type 2 diabetes is a major concern.

Type 2 diabetes, a chronic and progressive condition, impairs a patient’s ability to metabolize glucose, or sugar, in the blood, which causes high blood sugar levels, gets worse with time and can lead to severe health issues.

Gavin started working at Witham seven years ago, when it first provided endocrinology services. By adding a full-time endocrinologist in Zionsville, Gavin said Witham should be better equipped to tackle Type 2 diabetes.

“Sugar is in almost everything we eat,” Gavin said.

An overabundance of sugar in one’s diet can lead to insulin resistance, a condition where insulin, a hormone which normally distributes glucose to cells as energy, is unable to perform its designated task. And when diabetics become insulin resistant, blood sugar levels rise.

“Unfortunately, once the sugar levels in the blood rise, someone who has diabetes

wouldn’t necessarily feel symptoms from that,” Gavin said. “They wouldn’t necessarily know that was happening, so sometimes there is a delay in diagnosis, and end-organ damage has already started to take effect before someone has been diagnosed with diabetes.”

With its new endocrinology practice, Witham officials want to address the complexity of the condition by targeting it from different angles.

“There is so much to learn with this disease,” Gavin said. “At Witham, the administration has agreed to let us have our own educators in-office with me. This is very, very rare. These are often not billable services. After a patient has seen me, an educator will go in right after I’m done with the patient and talk about exactly the things we need to talk about, so it’s not cookie-cutter. It’s specifically tailored to their needs.”

Educators also help patients talk to health insurance companies, teach them how to administer injections, get samples, create meal plans and provide overall support, Gavin said.

Witham also uses the newest technologies to help combat the condition, such as continuous glucose monitoring devices that enable patients to avoid constantly pricking their fingers to monitor their blood sugar levels.

Byrum said breast cancer services would be offered at Witham’s Anson location in the summer, at 6085 Heartland Dr. in Zionsville, where a breast surgeon will see patients. At the same location later in the fall, a pulmonary/respiratory clinic will open for the first time in Zionsville.

Arce increasing role in investing, productions

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sam Arce developed his lifelong love of Broadway after seeing Ben Vereen perform in “Jesus Christ PRODUCTIONS Superstar.”

“I got bit by the bug,” said Arce, a Carmel resident. “Over the years, I just saw more shows. I started doing theater in high school. I did community theater and then I did some Off-Broadway work. I love it, but it’s a hard life. I was singing and dancing.”

Arce, 56, didn’t see a future in it. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, became an officer and then got into real estate in 1985 after leaving the service.

“I did well, moved here and did better,” said Arce, a Realtor/broker for F.C. Tucker.

“I’ve been in Indiana doing real estate full time since 1991. Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of shows. Last year, I saw 70 shows on Broadway.”

Arce, who is called “Broadway Sam” by his friends, first invested in Broadway with $20,000 in “Gettin’ the Band Back Together” about a year ago.

“Although it was a great, fun show and I was passionate about it, it didn’t last on Broadway,” Arce said. “It didn’t return, but it opened the gateway. That led me to the next investment, which was ‘American Son,’ a play with Kerry Washington, Steven Pasquale and Jeremy Jordan.”

That led to Arce investing in ‘Be More Chill’ with music and lyrics by Joe Iconis.

“This is Iconis’ Broadway debut,” Arce said. “He’s on the trajectory of what (‘Hamilton’ creator) Lin-Manuel Mirada was on.

Lin was at our show. I got involved when ‘Be More Chill’ got to Broadway.”

“Be More Chill” has been nominated for a Tony Award for best original score, composed by Iconis.

Arce invested in Iconis’ next production of Annie Golden in “Broadway Bounty Hunter,” which starts a limited run July 23 Off-Broadway.

“Annie Golden was in ‘Hair.’ It’s kind of a rock ‘n’ roll ode to the ‘70s,” Arce said.

“Annie plays a struggling actress who becomes a bounty hunter.”

Arce and producing partner Scott

Mraz to perform Nov. 17 at Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com Following a tour of arenas and outdoor venues across North America, Europe and Asia, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz has announced a Nov. 17 date at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Backing Mraz on the newly announced tour of theaters and music halls will be the Los Angeles-based folk rock quartet Raining Jane, longtime collaborators who often perform with Mraz and played on his 2014 acoustic album, “Yes!” The tour is billed as “Ladies & Gentleman, An Evening with Jason Mraz & Raining Jane.”

The performance is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 17.

Tickets are available now with series subscriptions to the 2019-20 Center Presents Season, sponsored by Allied Solutions. Subscriptions are available online at TheCenterPresents.org and through the box office at 317-843-3800 or toll-free at 877-909-ARTS (2787).

From left, Daniel Peterson, Scott Abrams and Sam Arce are co-producing partners. (Submitted photo)

Abrams are investing in the Las Vegas show of Criss Angel, the illusionist, at Planet Hollywood. Arce and Abrams are involved in “Elvis Presley’s Heartbreak Hotel in Concert,” which is running at Harrah’s in Las Vegas.

“It’s telling the story of young Elvis Presley with an extremely talented young man (Eddie Clendening) who plays Elvis from the beginning to movie Elvis, not jumpsuit Elvis,” Arce said. “Everybody is excited about that. The theater is in oldschool Vegas.”

Arce said the production has the backing of the Presley estate.

“Jeff Calhoun is the director,” Arce said.

“He did ‘Rock of Ages.’”

Arce and Abrams are invested in the 10-year reunion of “Rock of Ages” OffBroadway, which starts June 24.

Arce also has producing partners in Daniel Peterson and Mary Maggio. Arce said he is looking to co-produce “Tina,” which is based on the life of Tina Turner, with his three other producing partners.

Arce saw “Tina” this month on England’s West End. “Tina” will open on Broadway this year.

“As an example, if you had been involved with ‘Hamilton’ making a $25,000 or $50,000 investment, you would have made your money back 20 times,” Arce said.

“What we do is we have skin in the game, it’s our own money and others’. It’s not just about the money. If it was just about the money, I wouldn’t do it. Real estate, I make more money in. It’s about the love of theater. Investing in Broadway is not for the faint-hearted. You can’t invest in something you can’t afford to take a loss on. Like that first investment, I got a $20,000 investment that won’t return but will probably return 20 times because of the relationship and the access.”

Arce and his wife, Maya, have a daughter, Dr. Michelle Arce, 28, and a son, Sammy 13, who just completed seventh grade at Clay Middle School.

“He’s a big theater fan,” Arce said. “I’m taking him to see ‘Be More Chill’ in July.”

It will now be easier to view Kroger Symphony on the Prairie’s performances from anywhere in the venue.

MUSIC “We have huge LED screens, so 8-meter screens, one on each side of the stage, and there is a 6-meter screen back near the playground towards the back of the lawn,” said Kristin Cutler, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra director of communications. “These will be magnifying the action on the stage during each concert. There will be additional content rolling on the screens prior to the concert. It will have more of a stadium-feel to it, so we think that will be an exciting enhancement to the concert experience.”

For 11 of the remaining concerts, there will be reserved seating for the area in front of the stage. Cutler said there will be 200 reserved seats. There is exclusive bar service in the reserved seating area and for the tables. The first three shows of the season had reserved seating as well.

“For some of the bigger-name acts like Smokey Robinson, Scott McCreery, Wynonna and 98 Degrees, you’ll have the ability to

reserve your seat right up front and be up close and personal with some of our bands,” Cutler said. “You can see your favorite performer up close without having to wrestle with the crowd to make that happen.”

There will be restrooms for reservedseating guests and people at the tables.

There also will be exclusive bar service.

There will be TV screens in the Sunset Lounge for the second consecutive year.

Clair presents dark comedy

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It started as a 10-minute script-writing exercise in a playwriting class. Yet, when June McCarty Clair received THEATER so much positive feedback for a dark comedy about a funeral, she decided to expand it to a fulllength play.

“When people heard what it was about, I invariably saw heads nod, and folks would say, ‘Let me tell you my story,’” Clair said.

The Carmel resident said she found that a funeral often brings out the best and the worst in family members. Clair said greed and jealousy can rear their ugly heads.

Clair’s “In the Presence of My Enemies” will run June 21 to 30 at The Cat in Carmel after a trial at DivaFest in April.

“When I started this project, I thought it would be interesting to write about family dynamics in planning a funeral,” Clair said.

“But the more I researched and wrote, I realized this could also be a cautionary tale, told in an amusing way, to warn people to have a plan in place and documents organized so there is as little family fighting as possible.”

Bridget Schlebecker and Priscilla Ball will reprise their roles as Sarah and Rhoda, respectively. Nan Macy, Annalise Lowry,

Back, from left, Kristin Miller, Alan Cloe, Annalise Lowry and Priscilla Ball. Front, from left, Nan Macy, Megan Ann Jacobs and Bridget Schlebecker. (Submitted photo)

Megan Jacobs, Alan Cloe and Kristin Miller round out the cast.

Ball and Miller are from Carmel. Macy is from Columbus, Ind. The rest of the performers are from Indianapolis.

Clair said DivaFest limited scripts to a one-hour run time. The show at The Cat will run 90 minutes, with new scenes.

The production is by Carmel Theatre Company, which is run by Clair and her husband, John, who will direct the play.

Tickets for the six performances can be purchased at Brown Paper Tickets, tinyurl. com/my-enemies, or by calling 317-582-1007.

Duo to teach mini-camps

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Julia Kalustian figured she had a great way to work this summer while spending time alongside her mother.

ART “We approached Fishers Parks and Recreation because I wanted to share my love of art with the children while giving them a fun summer camp,” Kalustian said.

Kalustian and her mother, Debbie Kalustian, a first-grade teacher at Brooks School Elementary, will run DJ Art Workshops’ mini-camps for three days for four weeks for ages 6-12 at Cumberland Park recreation building, 10580 Cumberland Rd., from 9 a.m. to noon. A 2017 Fishers High School graduate and Indiana Wesleyan University student, she has tutored kids in art at her university.

“I wanted to keep the camp themes both fun and engaging for the summer,” said Kalustian, who is studying elementary education and art. “I want these camps to be a memorable experience for the kids, so I chose themes that I thought they would have fun exploring with art. I love to work with children by inspiring them to expand their creativity. I think I will be able to do so through these camps.”

Owner Keith Dusko made it for me. The roll combines chicken tempura, brie cheese, Les’ pepper jelly, crunchy apples and yams, so if you’re new to the sushi world or nervous about raw fish, this might be a good roll for you.

I also sampled the Eskimo Popper Roll ($14), which

7/14: Rockstar Energy Drink

consists of tempura-fried salmon, green onion, cream cheese and jalapenos.

Chiba Indy is one of my favorite places to visit in Westfield, and not only because of the A-1 sushi. I love the patio atmosphere, which features soft lighting, ferns and an adorable back bar perfect for date nights.

Suggested pairings: I’ve recently discovered that I’m a fan of all things sake, so if you’re going to Chiba Indy, I suggest asking for the sake menu. Order the Ozeki-Nigori bottle ($29). Seriously, order the whole bottle. It’s worth it. Chiba Indy’s menu describes Ozeki-Nigori sake as bold, sweet, rich and robust. It’s a refreshing choice.

Should’ve known better Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Reichstag Building in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Berlin’s dome of openness Commentary by Don Knebel Berlin’s Reichstag Building has become Germany’s second-most visited building, reflecting both its historical TRAVEL significance and its technological sophistication.

In 1871, independent German states united to form the German Empire, with its capital in Berlin. A committee of the Reichstag, the Imperial Diet, selected a site just north of the Brandenburg Gate for a new parliament building and held a competition to determine the building’s architecture. The winning design, featuring a steel and glass cupula at the center, was based on Philadelphia’s Memorial Hall, built for the 1876 World’s Fair. The Reichstag of the Weimar Republic met in the same building. In 1933, a fire, thought by many to have been started by the new Nazi government, severely damaged the building. Hitler immediately blamed Communists and radicals for the fire and used it as the pretext for assuming dictatorial powers. During World War II, the Reichstag Building was further damaged by Allied bombing. After the war, with the capital of West Germany in Bonn, the building

remained vacant.

After German reunification, the federal government moved its capital to Berlin and restored the Reichstag Building for use by the Bundestag, the German parliament.

The restoration included adding a huge glass dome at the center of the building, replacing the original cupula that had been destroyed. The Bundestag meets under the clear dome, symbolizing the openness of Germany’s democratic government. An inverted cone in the middle of the dome, covered in mirrors, directs daylight toward the legislative chamber and reflects the inside lights toward the dome at night. A giant shield inside the dome electronically follows the sun and blocks direct sunlight.

Two interior helical ramps allow citizens to climb to the dome’s apex, fostering the idea that the German people are above their government and also offering a spectacular 360-degree view of modern Berlin.

Set a bowl of vinegar in the affected room for about 30 minutes. The odor should be much less noticeable.

Americans like being the best at things.

We’re the best at baseball, jazz, freedom, national parks — GRAMMAR GUY pretty much anything Ken Burns has already covered. Yes, living in the Land of Opportunity is glorious. Today, I’d like to award us (and, by us, I mean U.S.) a supersized gold medal for smashing words together more efficiently than anyone else in the world.

Because Americans value efficiency, we combine multiple words into one super word. One way we do this is through contractions. Don’t worry—I’m not talking about the kind of contractions that lead to babies. I’m talking about combining two words to make one short word. These words include don’t (do not), we’ve (we have) and can’t (can not). Yes, contractions increase our efficiency so we have more time to manage our burgeoning stock portfolios while refilling our Big Gulps (for free). But some contractions can be tricky.

Have you ever been tripped up by should’ve? Should’ve is a contraction for

July 3 - July 4

“should have.” For instance, “I should’ve worn sunscreen when we were at the zoo.”

What about “should of?” As Americans, sometimes we talk so quickly we say things like “shoulda,” which is an even shorter way of saying “should’ve.” Many people mistakenly think this phrase is “should of.” “Should of” is incorrect and should never be spoken, typed or otherwise communicated. The same rule applies for “must’ve” (not must of), “could’ve” (not could of), and “would’ve” (not would of).

If someone you care about uses “should of,” wait until you have some one-on-one time with them, calmly sit them down, and then gently correct them.

In general, contractions like “should’ve” are still regarded as informal speech, so, if you’re writing your doctoral dissertation or cover letter to be hired as a lawyer, avoid these shortcut words. However, in everyday conversations, feel free to contract away.
