Judge: Zionsville mayor doesn’t have authority to unilaterally demote department heads

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com In a June 4 ruling, Boone County Judge Matthew Kincaid determined Zionsville’s mayor does COURTS not have the authority to demote department heads, settling the core issue of a lawsuit between Mayor Emily Styron, the Zionsville Town Council and ZionsStyron ville Fire Dept. Chief James VanGorder.

The ruling came after Styron requested to discharge VanGorder in March. The Zionsville Town Council unanimously denied the request, citing insufficient evidence. Just after the council’s vote, Styron unilaterally placed VanGorder on a one-week paid administrative leave and assigned him project manager duties, reporting directly to her and the town’s deputy mayor when he returned. Styron also sued the town council, asking a judge to determine whether the town’s mayor, under the town’s 2014 reorganization resolution, has the authority to demote department heads, such as the town’s fire chief, without the approval of the town council. Kincaid determined the mayor does not have that authority.

“The Mayor of the Town (of) Zionsville does not have the authority to demote a department head such as the Fire Chief or Chief of Police, because the same is the equivalent of discharging a department head and for the Mayor of the Town of Zionsville to lawfully exercise that authority, the Mayor must have the approval of a majority of the Town Council pursuant to … the 2014 Town of Zionsville Reorganization,” the determination stated.

According to court documents, Styron alleged five to nine Zionsville firefighters had formed a “quitting pact” or intended to leave the department if new leadership was not established, leading her to call the situ-

ation “a public safety risk.”

Styron and town officials declined to comment on the matter. VanGorder and his legal counsel also declined to comment.

After VanGorder countersued, an injunction was filed on his behalf to get back what he believes are his duty-bound responsibilities as fire chief.

A hearing for the injunction is scheduled for July 1-2.

In the lawsuit, the council argued Styron’s interVanGorder pretation of the 2014 Reorganization Resolution, which town officials refer to as Zionsville’s constitution, was a way of giving the mayor unilateral power to fire department heads. Styron and her legal team unsuccessfully argued the resolution, other legal precedents and Indiana statutes granted her the power to demote department heads.

In his ruling, Kincaid stated that action by the mayor “in the nature of supervising a department head or directing executive policy which stops short of removing core management authority from a department head is not prohibited; and the action taken by the Mayor in the matter by which the Fire Chief’s core authority has been removed, which continues at this time, exceeds the authority of the Mayor under the 2014 Reorganization.”

The town council issued a joint statement on behalf of its members following the ruling.

“In 2014, the citizens of Zionsville overwhelmingly voted in support of the reorganization,” the council stated. “That document delineated roles and responsibilities for all Zionsville elected officials. We are pleased the court has upheld those rules and continues to support the will of the

citizens of Zionsville. This has always been about public safety. Part of the Council’s role is to ensure the right personnel are leading our town departments. We have been fortunate to have had Chief VanGorder lead the department for 25 years and look forward to him continuing in that role.

“We appreciate the professionalism of the Zionsville Fire Department during this legal clarification process. At no point did we doubt the abilities of the men and women of (the) ZFD to continue to respond to emergencies and we are grateful for their dedication to our community. The Council is committed to working with Chief VanGorder, Zionsville Fire Department personnel, International Association of Firefighters Local 441 and Mayor Styron to continue to keep our citizens safe and keep Zionsville moving forward.”

Styron issued a statement June 4 following the determination.

“It’s a true honor to serve as an elected official in this town,” Styron stated. “With the uniqueness of our structure of government, the need for clarity on roles and responsibilities arose due to language in the Reorganization document and powers which had been granted to the Mayor. Having the best leadership we can have at the Zionsville Fire Department matters to me, as Mayor and as a citizen. As Town executive, I took action on behalf of the best interest of the Fire Department. The court ruled that the Mayor does not have the authority to demote the Fire Chief without Town Council approval. I am committed to moving forward and continuing to work on behalf citizens of our town. There will be no further comment at this time.”

Claims for legal fees related to the lawsuit have not been processed.

Styron can appeal Kincaid’s determination, but she has not said whether she will.

“The Mayor of the Town (of) Zionsville does not have the authority to demote a department head such as the Fire Chief or Chief of Police.”

Remembering Duncan Yo-Yos Commentary by Ward Degler Donald F. Duncan was a very creative guy.

He was the genius who invented the promotional gimmick of sending PLAIN TALK in three box tops and a quarter to receive a toy. He held the patents on the four-wheel hydraulic brake system we use in our cars today. And he invented the parking meter. You know, that pesky device that expires five minutes before you get back to your car.

But that was not Mr. Duncan’s greatest claim to fame. He is best known around the world as the “Yo-Yo King.” Show me someone who never heard of a Duncan Yo-Yo, and I’ll show you someone who has lived his entire life in a cave.

He did not, however, invent the yo-yo.

Its roots trace back to somewhere in Asia more than 2,500 years ago. It showed up in the 1800s in England as a toy called a bandalore.

The name yo-yo means “come back” in Tagalog in the Philippines, where it is a large, deadly weapon used to hunt game. A Filippino named Pedro Flores started manufacturing the toy version of the yo-yo in the United States in the 1920s.

The toy fascinated Duncan, and in 1929 he bought the rights to it from Flores. He made a few improvements, including what he called a “slip string” that allowed the yo-yo to spin freely. Shortly after, he worked out

a deal with newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst for free advertising. Duncan held yo-yo competitions across the nation, and for the entry fee, the entrant had to bring in a new subscription to the newspaper.

The goofy device caught on everywhere, and to meet the demand for contests, Duncan produced yo-yos like mad at his factory in Luck, Wis., — 3,600 per hour at one point, and 3 million in a single month for contests in Philadelphia.

An uncle of mine became a yo-yo champion in Kokomo in 1945. He gave me my first yo-yo and taught me how to make the strings. I was pretty good but never mastered the “round the world” or “walk the dog” tricks.

Duncan’s yo-yo sales peaked at 62 million in 1962. Sometime later, Duncan sold the business to Flambeau Plastics. They still make yo-yos today, but they are plastic and adorned with lights and whistles. Still fun, but the original excitement of Duncan’s wooden spinner is gone forever.

Duncan went back to making parking meters. He died in a car accident in 1971.

Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife. He is the author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”

Library officials request approval for up to $9 million in bonds

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library officials have requested approval from the Zionsville Town Council to isFUNDING sue as much as $9 million in bonds for a planned branch in Whitestown.

In August 2020, the library expanded its service area into Worth Township. The library now plans to build a new branch in Worth Township to further expand services.

The Whitestown Town Council donated 11 acres with large greenspace, woods and trails near Walker Farms for the new branch.

Construction is expected to begin in October and to take approximately one year to complete. Library officials want to open the branch in the fourth quarter of 2022.

To pay for the branch, library officials have asked for approval to issue up to $9 million in bonds, which would be used to build the new branch at 6310 Albert S. White Dr., and pay for landscaping and finishes.

The town council is expected to consider the request at its June 21 meeting.

The HusseyMayfield Memorial Public Library plans to build a branch in Whitestown.

A recent survey suggests the new branch would be well-received.

“An overwhelming majority of Eagle, Perry and Worth Township residents anticipate using this new location in the future,” said Sarah Moore, executive director of the HMMPL. “For the last several months, we have been soliciting feedback from residents.

We have also selected an architecture firm.

We have a site secured, and now we are

currently developing our architecture plans, and we are on to this bond process.”

The library’s existing bond is scheduled to be paid by June 2023. Payments for the requested bonds wouldn’t begin until the library’s existing bond is paid to ease the impact for taxpayers, Moore said. She added that the debt service tax rate to build the branch will not increase from the 2020 current bond repayment rate of $0.159, equat-

ing to a less than $20 payment annually for the owner of a $250,000 home.

Moore also said the bonds would not affect the town’s capacity to approve other bonds because the library would be the bond issuer.

In 2019, the library ranked fifth in the state in materials borrowed per capita, according to library officials, and its service area included an estimated population of 37,526 residents, a 47 percent increase since 2010. Because of increased usage, Moore said residents would not necessarily pay less if the bonds were not approved.

“If we were not able to get the bonds issued to do this project, we would still be trying to find ways to expand what we have available to better meet the needs of our service district,” Moore said.

The library serves Eagle, Union and Worth townships. For a fee, it also serves residents in Perry Township, who do not pay into the library’s current bond.

“As long as (the new branch) is open to Zionsville residents and not just Worth Township residents, I think this is a very worthwhile venture,” town council member Alexander Choi said.

A recommended land-use map shows plans for the areas surrounding the Indianapolis Executive Airport. (Submitted rendering)

airport that areas between C.R. 200 S. and the Brookhaven/Fieldstone neighborhoods should be protected from development.

AN “AIRPORT VILLAGE” In the medium- to long-term, planners have identified the U.S. 421 and Ind. 32 intersection as the most likely area for commercial growth. The Ind. 32 corridor is envisioned to be the primary east/ west corridor through the study area and could develop into a critical regional transportation corridor, according to the report.

Planners say the development strategy for the commercial zone will create an “Airport Village.”

“It will consist of a traditional mixed-use urban center with two and three-story office, retail, commercial and upper floor residential areas. Airport-related businesses will be encouraged, but (they) should serve both the aviation industry and community at-large,” the report stated.

LIC# CO51300008

The Town of Zionsville and the Hamilton County Airport Authority/ Indianapolis Executive Airport recently released a report outlining plans for a jointly commissioned Strategic DEVELOPMENT Future Land Use Plan for the area surrounding the airport.

Because of the town’s growing population, town and airport officials saw a need to create a land-use plan to help prevent conflicts.

HWC Engineering Director of Planning Cory Whitesell, the plan’s project manager, said during a June 4 virtual presentation that the town and the airport authority want to “find a balance of protecting the use and integrity of the executive airport and meeting the Town of Zionsville’s community and economic development goals.”

“The way that has been done has been striving to find what is an appropriate mix of compatible development that can occur around the airport,” Whitesell said.

The plan is intended to build off land use policies in Zionsville’s Comprehensive Plan and provide specific guidance for land-use decisions in areas surrounding the airport by supporting long-term development that meets Zionsville’s goals while sustaining the airport as “an economic engine for Zionsville and surrounding areas.” The airport annually contributes approximately $430 million to the local economy, according to a 2012 Indiana airports economic impact study.

The airport operates with a single concrete runway in a north/ south orientation. The runway is 5,501 feet long by 100 feet wide. As part of the 2008 Master Plan, a 1,500-foot extension to the runway is planned to the south end, to make it 7,001 feet long. The 2008 Master Plan also proposed a second runway expansion from 7,001 to 7,700 feet, the ultimate planned runway length. The runway extension would provide an increased margin of safety for takeoffs and landings.

The 2008 airport master plan also includes proposals for a crosswind runway, which would cross the airport’s existing runway, forming a cross shape. No action is being considered at this time for either the crosswind runway or the second phase runway expansion project, according to town documents, and each would be subject to FAA approval, environmental clearance, justification, funding and future public participation or local approvals before proceeding.

The first phase of the runway extension project is under construction, and some development has already occurred in areas near the airport, leading some residents from the Brookhaven and Fieldstone neighborhoods, which are south of the airport, to voice concerns about noise and aircraft flying low over their homes.

During public meetings, they have said the runway extension could make the issues more significant.

But planners say the airport has no short- or long-term plans to allow aircraft larger than business jets on a regular basis or to start commercial passenger service. They say the Federal Aviation Administration will support neither.

During public meetings, residents in existing overflight areas recommended against further development of similar areas, although areas south of the existing runway are zoned to allow residential development. The zoning decisions were made by Boone County officials prior to the area being incorporated into the Town of Zionsville’s jurisdiction, according to the report. The FAA has informed the

QA: Secretary of state wants secure elections

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Holli Sullivan became Indiana’s 62nd secretary of state in March, replacing Connie Lawson after her resignation.

POLITICS The Evansville resident and married mother of three previously served as a state representative from 2014 until her appointment.

Sullivan, a Republican who recently announced that she plans to run in the 2022 election to maintain Sullivan her position, stopped by Hamilton County on June 8 to visit with local business leaders and share about initiatives under way in her office.

She also stopped in Carmel for an interview with Current.

What is your top priority as secretary of state?

To continue to have transparent, free and secure elections run by the state. It’s very important that we think toward the future.

We have a runway this year because we don’t have an election, and I can spend time getting to know each of the county election officers and their successes from 2020, but also plan with them the future infrastructure needed.

I also want to continue the momentum in the Indiana business services division. The INBiz portal has 70 online services, but it’s time to meet with users of those services and business owners to see what we can do next to get government out of the way of business and allow it to grow.

Election fraud has been a big topic nationwide in the last year. Do you see areas where Indiana’s handling of elections should change?

We had an extremely successful election in 2020. We had the highest voter turnout since 1992. We had changes due to dates and pandemic and processes that we have never had to face before at a local level, and we had no recounts, no fraud and no problems. So, for us, we need to maintain what we have, which is a good place to be.

Every county (election official) I’ve talked to completely agrees there are always ways in which we can help the process by edu-

cating Hoosiers on securities that already are in place, and we’ll do that. We’ll partner with local communities to increase messaging. That’s extremely important right now, because there is a lot of noise coming in from other states about how they run their elections. They’re not as transparent, not as secure as Indiana, and that puts seeds of doubt in voter confidence.

Not much has changed in Indiana election law in recent years, but has the national discussion led to decreased voter confidence here?

We had a strong turnout (in 2020), but post that turnout there’s been all that news, so I think the confidence has been shaken. When you redirect the conversations back to the Hoosier experience of voting in our state, you see it’s not about the Indiana experience.

where classic romance meets modern luxury A premier venue serving the greater Indianapolis area and beyond, The Sixpence offers a beautiful and functional location to say “I do.” Three facilities sit on 17 picturesque areas of rolling hills, with overnight accommodations, multiple ceremony and reception spaces, and more.

Our purpose-built Barn was created to be made uniquely yours. If you can dream it, we can host it.

Your office has begun sending postcards to Hoosier voters to help keep voter lists up to date. How does this process work?

Voter list maintenance is a federal requirement, and Indiana does it really well.

It’s a white postcard, and we’re trying to get the word out that it’s legitimate. It shares with the voter that if everything is correct, they don’t have to do anything, but if they’ve moved, like a lot of people during COVID, they need to update their address. It gives them a way they can do that, either online or by returning the postcard. If it comes back to the office as a bad address, we’ll forward it to what we have on file with the post office and reach the voter that way.

Why is voter list maintenance important?

Voter confidence is increased when you know your voter registration information is correct, but it also helps save taxpayer dollars. When we put together the voter list, we make a lot of predictions and assumptions off that list, such as how many (voting) machines are needed in each polling district. So, all of those numbers are tied to cost and how we run our elections.

Also, if we walk in as a voter and we see somebody on the voter rolls that we know hasn’t lived in the state for a few years or maybe passed away, it plants a seed of doubt that we have the right voter list, so we protect that voter list maintenance process in Indiana.

Local women contend for Miss Indiana crown in Zionsville

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Competition brings out the best in Olivia Broadwater.

Broadwater was named a top 10 finalist in the 2018 Songbook Academy summer intensive program. She was then named first runner-up in the 2019 Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen competition in her first attempt. Previously, she had won the Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen title in her first competition.

Now, the 2020 Zionsville Community High School graduate will compete in the Miss Indiana competition June 16 to 19 at Zionsville’s Star Bank Performing Arts Center.

The preliminaries are June 16 to 18, with the finals for Miss Indiana and Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen set for 6 p.m. June 19.

Broadwater will be joined by 2016 ZCHS graduate Samantha Robbins and Zionsville resident Claire Nieshalla.

The 2020 Miss Indiana program was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so titles were carried over to this year.

Broadwater, who qualified by winning the 2020 Miss Capital City title in 2019, plans to sing “Gimme Gimme” from “Thoroughly Modern Millie.”

“I’m bringing some Broadway into it,” said Broadwater, a musical theater major at Ball State University. “It’s a song I’ve been able to work on the past year-and-a-half. It’s been fun to see my growth through that song. It’s a way for me to mix my pageant world and my musical theater/Broadway world that I’m going into for a career.”

Broadwater’s platform is “Singing for Smiles,” which promotes music to help those with Alzheimer’s disease. Two of her late grandparents were afflicted by it and her grandmother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Broadwater organized virtual Christmas and Valentine’s Day concerts with fellow Ball State theater majors for memory patients in nursing homes and memory centers across the state.

Nieshalla won the Miss East Central title in Sheridan in March, the last qualifying competition. She had competed in the 2018 Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen.

OUTSTANDING TEEN CONTENDERS Two 2021 Zionsville Community High School graduates, Shaylee Barnes and Kate Dimmett, will compete in the Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen competition.

Barnes will compete for the Miss Outstanding Teen crown for the third time. She qualified by earning the Miss Hoosier Heartland Outstanding Teen.

Barnes plans to major in neuroscience at Indiana University and then attend medical school.

Barnes’s platform is mental health awareness.

“My mom used to work at the Children’s Home, so I got to know a lot of those kids,” she said. “Knowing their stories made me want to advocate for kids like them and their parents.”

Barnes, who will sing for her talent portion, is eager to see friends she made through competition.

“We didn’t get to do as many opportunities as in the past, but I’m excited to see all the girls again,” she said.

Barnes and Dimmett were in the Royalaires, the mixed show choir at ZCHS. Dimmett competed in cross country and track and field at ZCHS.

“I’m really excited because it’s at our home high school and PAC,” Dimmett said. “I’m excited to get the first Miss Indiana experience.”

Dimmett, who qualified by winning Miss Metropolitan’s Outstanding Teen, said the Miss Fall Festival director suggested trying the competition.

“Once I got into it, I fell in love with it, because having to prepare and look your best and represent yourself the best on stage is something I’m excited about,” Dimmett said.

Dimmett’s platform is promoting Notable Measures, a nonprofit she started with her younger sister, Meg, four years ago.

“It’s violin, cellists, drummers and 100 percent of the donations we get for our performances, we give back to music programs across Indiana,” said Dimmett, adding the nonprofit has raised more than $30,000 for music programs across Indiana. “I play the violin and guitar, and I sing.”

Dimmett’s talent is tap dancing. She will major in finance and minor in music at Indiana University in the fall.

high school, will be a junior at Taylor University this fall.

“I knew I wanted to do it again after doing Teen,” she said. “I was waiting for the right opportunity, being at school and playing soccer at Taylor. It was hard for me to find the time.”

Nieshalla had worked with Taylor University officials to organize an event for participants to safely turn in unused prescription drugs.

“That was my big initiative as a Teen (competitor) as well,” she said. “Having that day put more meat to my platform, I decided two weeks before the actual competition to do it, thinking, ‘What do I have to lose?’”

Nieshalla will play the piano and sing her original song “Rain,” which is about losing a loved one to substance use disorder.

“It ties to my platform, and it’s just one avenue where I can continue to spread the message of prevention,” Nieshalla said.

While Nieshalla and Broadwater are competing in their first Miss Indiana competition, it will be the fifth time for Robbins.

She previously was in the Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen event three times. She qualified by winning 2020 Miss Collegiate North.

“I probably would have stopped if I wasn’t having a good time or learning things every year to make it a slightly different experience every year,” she said.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Moving forward

Let’s (not) get together

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The rumors are already circulating, and some of us are confident enough to be completely certain that television as we know it is breathing its last breath. Ditto radio, telephone, driving our own cars and newspapers (really, anything that is in print). The rise of new technologies and changes to social norms have long been disruptive forces requiring the end of one medium to make room for others.

On-demand subscription services provide much greater freedom of when and what to consume. And the portability of modern technology makes us think of anything hard-wired as more akin to a dog chained to a tree than to a contemporary mobile lifestyle.

Still, one doesn’t have to be too old to remember the Walt Disney promise of the City of Tomorrow. Taking a break from the long lines and hot weather of family summer vacation, we’d board the PeopleMover from a giant roundabout with the attached cars being propelled along by rubber tires embedded in the track.

There, we’d find a respite from the heat and “learn” a bit about what the future would be. Flying cars? Sure, why not? No crime, hunger or human condition? Plan on it. Utopia? Seems reasonable.

Well, the years have passed and a Disney CEO whose name was not Disney closed the ride and its accompanying optimism for the future. We still don’t have flying cars, perfect humans or Utopia. In fact, as most of us mature into adulthood, we realize that these dreams are either silly, impractical or downright impossible. But what has remained is that people still want to escape the summer sun occasionally when spending the day outside and to imagine a future of wonder and opportunity. If we are sure to adapt, what do we keep and what do we leave behind?

Here’s my current situation: I’m on the second-floor balcony of a South Carolina beach house trying to elude the 17 children/young adults roving the grounds.

And if I’m honest, I’m also hoping to avoid their parents, including — but not limited to — Doo, my beloved spouse of 25 years.

That’s right, friends, it’s our annual family reunion, and four days in, I’m ready to be done.

Don’t get me wrong — I look forward to this trip every summer. Spending a week oceanside enjoying the company of my sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews, Doo and our kids and my mom, is a wonderful gift. But 28 people between the ages of 7 months to 76, piled on top of each other into a single-kitchen home, becomes overwhelming fairly quickly, especially for an introverted, early-to-bed neat freak like myself. Even an intriguing 1,000-piece oldies TV puzzle and nightly charades can’t offset my need to escape, at least for a short while.

I know I shouldn’t be annoyed by the little things — the discarded Hi-C boxes, the raucous laughter of coeds playing poker at 2 a.m. and the baby paraphernalia literally everywhere. These are simply the inevitable byproducts of large multigenerational get-togethers. But if I step into a melted puddle of Lucky Charms marshmallows one more time, I am going to lose my flipping mind.

Hence the hiding. This balcony has become my relatively quiet, persons-free safe space where I can ponder the universe and the latest “Shadowhunter” book without fear of being roped into a game of Sorry or forced to bear witness to the results of the 15th Kroger run of the morning. Not a bad current situation.

Peace out.

All about midwives Commentary by Stephanie Crowell and Bethany Monte In the United States, approximately 8 percent of all childbirths are attended by a midwife. Similar to OB/GYNs, PREGNANCY midwives are trained in a wide range of primary health care services for women like gynecologic care, family planning, care during and after pregnancy and during childbirth.

WHAT IS A MIDWIFE? A midwife is a trained medical professional who works in partnership with women to provide care, support and advice during pregnancy, labor and birth. A midwife also provides gynecological and well-women care throughout a woman’s life.

HOW IS A MIDWIFE DIFFERENT FROM AN OB/GYN? A certified nurse-midwife is an advanced-practice nurse trained in the care of low-risk women and pregnancies. A midwife cannot perform certain procedures and surgeries (such as a C-section) but works in collaboration with an OB/GYN if the need for the procedure arises. Midwives are advocates for natural childbirth but are still able to utilize medical interventions whenever necessary or desired.

IF I HAVE A MIDWIFE CARING FOR ME DURING MY LABOR, CAN I STILL GET AN EPIDURAL? Yes! Midwives work as advocates for the women they care for. They will support and

respect a mother’s choices for pain relief during labor, no matter what!

WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT DURING LABOR?

ZCD Summer Concert Series

There are lots of different ways midwives can help women cope during labor. Some examples are water immersion, relaxation, hypnosis, positioning, birthing balls, visualization, affirmations, heat/cold, massage, aromatherapy, acupressure, nitrous oxide, IV pain medications and epidurals.

Fr uteland Jackson

IS A MIDWIFE DIFFERENT FROM A DOULA?

June 16, 7 pm

Yes, a doula is a trained professional who provides emotional and physical support during childbirth. Many doulas provide prenatal and postpartum services as well.

Doulas are not medical professionals. They are trained to coach the mother to help her achieve a satisfying and healthy delivery. A midwife, however, is a trained medical professional who provides medical care to the patient who will manage a patient’s labor and deliver the baby.

Stephanie Crowell has been a certified nurse midwife for five years. She also is a family nurse practitioner and has several years’ experience working in various ERs. Bethany Monte is a certified midwife in Carmel offering care along the lifespan of a woman. She offers care for teenage girls, preconceptual counseling, birth control counseling, prenatal care, delivery, postpartum care and GYN care.

DISPATCH Sunscreen tip — Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms — UVA and UVB. Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation.

Embrace the great outdoors Commentary by Brose McVey One of the most powerful tools we can employ in a much-needed war against mental illness is dirt cheap, easy to access and universally MENTAL HEALTH accessible.

My friends would say I’m biased. They’re right.

I love being outdoors, physical labor, the power of sunshine, the sound of a river and birds. I love simple things, like a good hike, the smell of hay and the romance of an old barn. I love working with my hands, the strong back of a horse and a fly-fishing rod.

I also believe that God (insert your higher power of choice here) made us to be closely connected to the natural world around us.

We do better as a species when we spend time outdoors, break a sweat and get some sunshine.

But a very high percentage of our youth are, or soon will be, struggling with serious mental health issues.

This issue has a lot of components, but I want to stick to one simple point in this column.

One significant cause of our slipping mental health is quite obvious, and we can do something about this one now: We have become a people who are born, raised, educated, work and die indoors.

Not so long ago, most humans lived outside cities and their livelihood was pretty closely connected to the land. Today, more than 82 percent of Americans live in cities and urban areas.

We have blockaded ourselves inside expensive buildings in high-cost cities with frustrating, stressful commutes and we breathe polluted air. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey confirms what we already know: Americans spend less than 8 percent of their time outdoors.

So many of our big challenges in society, seem to take a lot of time and money to address, but we can slow our slide into mental chaos — without a big investment — by connecting our kids to the outdoors, physical labor and nature.

Brose McVey is an Indianapolis businessman and the founder of the central Indiana-based Ben’s Ranch Foundation. The nonprofit operates and supports programs designed to connect teens experiencing mental health challenges to internships on farms, stables and equine therapy facilities.

Better Bodies celebrates 20 years in Zionsville

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Better Bodies Inc. celebrates 20 years of business in Zionsville this year, a milestone owner Mitch Schroder, ANNIVERSARY 54, of Noblesville, said is deeply rewarding In 1994, Schroder, a physical therapist, was tired of only helping people after they were in need of physical therapy, so he began working with people on things such as injury prevention in their homes.

In 2001, Schroder was treating a client who, because of three injured discs in his spine, couldn’t play with his children. Schroder helped the client recover, allowing him to again play with his children. Schroder began working with the client in Zionsville, where the client allowed him to work out of a small space in a building, leading to the decision to begin seeing clients at the fitness center’s 7031 Mayflower Park Dr. address in Zionsville. Better Bodies also has locations in the Salesforce Tower in Indianapolis and in the Village of West Clay in Carmel.

“I love Carmel, and we have Carmel people who come here, too, but this is where the client was, and, honestly, I didn’t really know much about Zionsville,” Schroder said.

“But I’ve grown to really love it.”

Better Bodies Inc. offers physical therapy, injury-prevention training and athletic training at its Zionsville location. Its clientele ranges from athletes to retirees looking to prevent or reduce pain.

“The only equipment I had when we started was a band,” Schroder said. “Now,

we have the most expensive equipment of a privately owned business in the area. We do all kinds of things in the community. We’ve had all kinds of athletes from every sport, and the families end up being a part of it.

I get people referred from other physical therapists.”

Schroder estimates more than 40 competing businesses have closed since Better Bodies Inc. opened in Zionsville.

“I have really great seasoned veterans who work here and a lot of young people (bringing) in new ideas all the time,” Schroder said. “I’m proud of the people I’ve been able to work with. I’ve had so many people do so well. I’m just kind of the guide.”

After several years of training central Indiana residents, Erin Johnson, 39, of Zionsville, planned to open a HISTORY permanent studio was scheduled to open July 14 for Dance Fit Club — previously known as Dance with Erin — at 10830 Bennett Pkwy., Suites B & C, in Zionsville.

Johnson, a former Zionsville West Middle School teacher, moved from Zionsville to several locations across the nation, following her husband, Kenny, an Army member, beginning in 2010. The couple had two daughters, Delaney, 9, and Makenna, 7, but Johnson knew she wasn’t in the best shape of her life after having two children. As a stay-at-home mom, she longed for a sense of community.

“I was feeling really isolated, disconnected and wasn’t sure how to make friends in my next chapter,” Johnson said. “I also wasn’t feeling good mentally or physically.

Her solution was to search for a gym when the family settled in Zionsville again, but she couldn’t find a gym that met her needs. A certified Zumba instructor, she then posted in a Zionsville mothers’ group on Facebook that she would offer a free class for anyone who wanted to sign up. She said five to 10 people came to her first class July 7, 2015, and she continued offering classes, which routinely attracted more participants.

To accommodate the growing class sizes, Johnson reserved spaces in Indianapolis, Whitestown, Lebanon and other municipalities. She was considering additional locations until the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to exclusively offer classes outdoors, even through the cold winter months.

One day during the pandemic, Johnson Job #:

scouted for an outdoor location for her next dance class with her daughters in the car.

Delany saw a building that looked large enough for indoor classes and told Johnson to inquire about the space. Coincidentally, the previous tenant had just vacated the space, and Johnson soon secured the location at Bennett Parkway.

At its new location, the club will offer dance fit, yoga, Guardian & Me yoga and movement classes. In addition, the club will offer senior chair yoga and events like glow parties, belly dancing and hip-hop workshops. Child care is complimentary. Class times are offered at 5:30 a.m., 7 a.m., 9:15 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 4:30 p.m., 5:45 p.m. and 7 p.m. during the week. Weekend class times are available as well.

Johnson said the classes regularly help her burn 500 to 700 calories but that she has benefited in other ways, too, primarily by finding the community she was searching for.

“If you lean into what you need and being vulnerable and lean into your insecurities, I feel like people really need to see that now more than ever,” Johnson said. “But that is how I think we have all become so close in the last six years. We really preach you are not just the way you are right now. You don’t join Dance Fit Club to be something you are not. You are actually perfect just the way you are.”

Johnson said the club is open to anyone, regardless of body size or dancing ability.

It’s motto is, “We work out because we love our bodies, not because we hate them.”

“They showed me I was good enough even if I doubted myself, and I think we mirror that to each other and support each other,” Johnson said. “It makes me really want to stay here forever. They make it feel like home.”

ITS Logistics plans to locate new operations in Boone County. (Submitted photo)

Hays + Sons is standing by 24/7/365

Logistics company announces plans for Whitestown facility news@currentinzionsville.com ITS Logistics LLC, a third-party logistics company, announced it plans to locate new operations in Boone County, creating up to 199 new jobs by the DISTRIBUTION end of 2024.

ITS Logistics, headquartered in Nevada, will invest roughly $11.8 million to establish the company’s first Midwest location at 4683 Albert S. White Dr. in Whitestown, according to a media release. The new 350,000-square-foot facility, in combination with an existing 1 million square feet of West Coast distribution space, will allow the company to offer national omnichannel distribution and fulfillment services to nearly 90 percent of the U.S. population within a two-day turnaround period, according to company officials.

“As the Crossroads of America, we are perfectly positioned to help companies reach customers across the Midwest, across the country and around the globe,” Indiana Gov. Eric J. Holcomb stated. “We will continue to deliver on our commitment to cultivating a pro-growth business environment, so companies like ITS Logistics can continue driving their business forward in all corners of our state.”

Founded in 1999 in Reno, Nev., ITS Logistics began with a 40,000-square-foot warehouse and two trucks. The company grew into a $1 million company within its first full year of operation. ITS now offers freight brokerage and asset light transportation, dedicated and expedited transportation,

omnichannel distribution, ecommerce fulfillment, drayage and intermodal and transportation management solutions. The company has grown in recent years, accruing nearly $500 million of revenue in 2020.

The company employs more than 600 team members across Nevada, California, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Ohio and Pennsylvania. ITS Logistics has already begun hiring administrative, warehouse, forklift, lT, HR and leadership positions in Indiana. Interested applicants can apply at its4logistics.com/join-our-team/.

“When researching regions in the eastern United States to expand our business, central Indiana was the obvious choice for several reasons — the geographic distribution advantages, the overall quality of the workforce, the strong partnership with the IEDC, the fact that Indiana is an extremely business-friendly state and a place where we truly feel that we can grow our culture and one day provide employment for more than 500 ITS team members,” stated Ryan Martin, president of ITS Logistics. “We’re greatly looking forward to the future of ITS in Indiana and see this location as an integral piece in our continued growth and national expansion.”

The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered ITS Logistics LLC up to $1.5 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. The tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives when Hoosiers are hired. The Town of Whitestown is considering additional incentives.

DISPATCHES Video game stock growth — The video game industry is booming. The global video game market is likely to double to $300 billion in revenue by 2025, according to tech research firm GlobalData, driven by the expansion of mobile-phone and online gaming. Also, there has been tremendous growth in games played by multiple players over the Internet, such as Fortnite, in which 100 players fight against one another for survival. And rather than buying individual games in stores such as GameStop, players are paying fees for monthly subscriptions to online services that allow them to stream or download games. Two subscription services, Apple Arcade and Google Stadia, were launched last year, but they’ve had lukewarm results, partly because of competition from free online video game providers such as Epic Games, the privately. Epic made more than a billion dollars in 2019 by selling optional virtual accessories such as character outfits. Investors should focus on third-party video game publishers with a history of churning out blockbuster games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Two attractive video game publishers now are: • Activision Blizzard (ATVI) hits include World of Warcraft, which has had $9 billion in revenue since 2004. It partners with YouTube to stream live broadcasts of tournaments for games such as Overwatch and Call of Duty.

• Electronic Arts (EA) makes best-selling games such as the FIFA soccer series, Madden NFL and Battlefield Source: BottomLineInc.com Offender Watch website—The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging parents to use the Offender Watch Website to increase family safety.

Huse Culinary co-owners share secret behind employee longevity

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com According to Huse Culinary co-owners Steve and Craig Huse, the secret behind St. Elmo Steak House’s success FOOD is hiring intelligent, hardworking people and rewarding them well.

The philosophy seems to benefit both parties. When Craig Huse recently entered Harry & Izzy’s Northside, he was immediately greeted with an enthusiastic hug from one of the waitstaff.

In an industry that frequently sees turnover, Steve Huse said St. Elmo Steak House and its sister restaurants — Harry & Izzy’s, 1933 Lounge and The HC Tavern + Kitchen — have at least 15 employees who have worked for the company for 20 or more years.

“Part of the reason people come to us is we pay well, and we also have fully benefitted our people who are with us full time,” Steve Huse said. “We also have a family atmosphere and consider our business family as important as our biological family. We have very high standards on the products we buy to transform somebody’s lunch and dinner, and I think (the staff) appreciate that. They know we aren’t trying to cheat anybody, and that all creates pride for your work.”

The Huses’ practice of looking out for employees continued during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though the company’s Hamilton County restaurants closed for 56 days, and its Marion County restaurants closed for 81 days, the owners found a way to provide for their employees.

“We were able to bridge payroll and never shut payroll down,” Craig Huse said.

“We calculated gratuities in 2019 and went back and averaged that out and took that average paycheck and we made that their payroll.”

When the restaurants shut down, the Huses allowed employees to fill grocery bags with perishable food – such as produce and dairy — from the restaurant suf-

ficient for their families.

Besides that, the Huses and former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning funded 1,200 boxed lunches for local first responders and staff at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. Creating the boxed lunches allowed some Huse Culinary employees to work throughout the shutdown.

“It allowed people to be working again here while we were closed to the public,” Craig Huse said. “We had 15 people or so banging out 1,200 meals a day, which is like an assembly line.”

The meals inspired others to get involved, including the Indianapolis Indians, Bob & Tom and more. In total, 10,000 meals were donated.

The real challenge for employees came when the restaurants reopened and experienced slow business as diners began slowly venturing out again.

“The suburban restaurants (Harry & Izzy’s Northside) and Fishers came back

pretty quickly, because downtown was empty, so people who were going downtown were staying close to home,” Craig Huse said. “Downtown is still running at 60 to 65 percent of 2019’s numbers, and (Harry & Izzy’s Northside) hit a number of times the same sales volumes as 2019 and overall is 90 percent where we were pre-pandemic.”

Although gratuities aren’t quite back to where they were pre-pandemic, some of Huse Culinary’s most loyal customers are helping support the waitstaff.

“Some of our regular guests, which we call our patron saints, were tipping outlandish tips, like 100 percent,” Craig Huse said. “We had one donate a bunch of Visa gift cards to supplement our staff.”

The company’s Benevolent Program, which provides grants to employees in need, also awarded $15,000 to employees in need during the pandemic.

Concerts for a Cause returns

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Bruce Kidd enjoys mixing music with goodwill.

Kidd is the co-founder of MUSIC Concerts for a Cause, which donates proceeds from each concert to a different nonprofit.

“People that love live music and helping people in need is what it’s all about,” Kidd said.

There have been 15 concerts with donations totaling $250,000 to 15 different organizations. The series had been sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the last concert held January 2020.

The first of four 2021 Concerts for a Cause will be held June 25 at the Ambassador House in Heritage Park in Fishers.

“Our guest performer is Griffin House, one of my favorite artists,” Kidd said. “If you like John Mayer, you will like Griffin. It’s normally acoustic folk/pop/rock.”

The opening act will feature Keller & Cole at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. with cocktails and a reception. Griffin House will perform at 8:30 p.m.

Concerts for a Cause board members, from left, Jeff Christofferson, Steve Neely, Meg Murphy, Jillian Ashton, Michelle Lebo, Ted Sturges and Bruce Kidd at a January 2019 concert. The band, The Steel Wheels, is on stage. (Submitted photo)

“The concert will be an open-air concert in a large-tented pavilion with a fantastic view of the park,” Kidd said.

Kidd, a Carmel resident, said 100 percent of ticket purchases will be donated to the Shoe Closet so it can provide new sneakers to thousands of kids living in poverty.

Kidd said the plan is to stage four concerts a year and support different causes.

Tickets are $100 and includes all drinks and food. For more, visit indyconcertsforacause.org.

Play set for Westfield Playhouse

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com As Tom Smith puts it, “Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle,” is a love story. Or mayPERFORMANCE be not.

The play opens with a 75-year-old man sitting in a train station when a younger woman approaches him and kisses him on Haas the back of the neck and then flees to the other end of the bench.

“That starts a relationship that gradually discloses what’s really going on, but you have to peel away all the layers — his layers, her layers,” said Smith, a Westfield resident. “It’s a love story, but it’s a lot more than that as well.”

Smith said the woman in the play frequently uses “the F-bomb.” The woman is portrayed by Carmel resident Tanya Haas.

“It’s not a show for children,” Smith said.

“It’s a charming little love story, or maybe not a love story.”

Smith plays the man in the performance.

He was approached by his longtime friend Barry McMullan, a founding member of Think, Dog! Productions in Muncie. McMullan asked Smith if he and Haas would perform in the show in Muncie, to play the role. The show was presented in Muncie June 10-12 and will be staged at the Westfield Playhouse, 220 N. Union St., Westfield, June 18 to 20. The last time Smith and McMullan worked together was in 1962 when Smith they both performed in “A Christmas Carol” in junior high school.

“We haven’t done anything together since, and that’s part of the reason we wanted to do something,” Smith said.

“Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle” was written by Simon Stephens and has been on Broadway.

“It’s a minimalistic play with two people in it, no scenery and minimal set pieces,” Smith said.

“It’s all in the imagination of the audience.”

Tickets are $17 or $15 for students and seniors. The performances are 7:30 p.m. June 18 and 19 and 2:30 p.m. June 20. For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

ATI features dads’ favorite songs

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This will be Don Farrell’s first Father’s Day since his father, Donald Farrell Sr., died Dec. 21, 2020, from COVID-19.

CONCERT So, the Actors Theatre of Indiana’s Drive-In Theatre’s Father’s Day tribute will take on extra meaning. Farrell and fellow ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins have put together a setlist that includes favorites of their fathers for the concert set for 7 p.m.

June 18 at the Monon Square Shopping Center, 620 S. Range Line Rd., Carmel.

“He would listen to his love songs of the ‘60s or James Taylor or Motown songs,” Farrell said. “He and my mom loved ‘My Girl.’

He loved the Righteous Brothers’ ‘You Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.’ We have a lot of great songs, like ‘How Sweet It Is (to be loved by you).’ It’s a nice tribute not just for our dads but all dads, especially those in the Baby Boomer generation.”

Collins said some other favorites include “Gentle On My Mind,” “Thank God I’m A Country Boy,” “Peace Train,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” and “Rhinestone

Cowboy.”

Collins said her good friend Terry Woods has musically directed all the concerts.

“He is perfection, and we are extremely fortunate to have him on board,” Collins said. “Greg Wolff on drums and Greg Gegogeine on bass are known as ‘The Gregs.’

They have been with ATI a good long time, seasoned pros. You know when you do a gig with these guys, they have your back.”

Audiodacity to play livestream

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Were it not for the rules of Indianapolis’ largest “battle of the bands” contest, Audiodacity might never have MUSIC evolved from a standard cover group to one of the state’s most electrifying live acts.

“Since the battle was for bands playing original music, we had two weeks to write five original songs for the first round of the battle,” said Ben Jarvis, a founding member of the seven-piece band. “From that point on, we kept writing and working our originals into our cover sets, and soon after we were on local stages playing entirely original songs.”

That was in 2013, when Audiodacity won the 2013 “Battle of Birdy’s” band competition and has since opened for some of the nation’s top touring acts, including Here Come the Mummies, Grouplove, Dumpstaphunk, The Motet and Ludacris.

On June 19, Audiodacity will perform a free livestream concert at 8 p.m. at the Palladium in Carmel as part of the Live at the Center series.

The Hamilton Bar & Grille at Chatham Hills Audiodacity members are, from left, Cecily Terhune, Cody Herring, Ben Jarvis, Kyle Perkon, Adam Woodgett, Mike Sheldon and Jason Ehizokhale. (Submitted photo)

Audiodacity has performed at a variety of music festivals and is making its Palladium debut.

“Our style is based in funk and rock but includes hip-hop, jazz, Latin and soul blends,” Jarvis said. “We’ve been called an ‘ultra-fusion’ act, which is one we’ve stuck with. Our goal is always to bring a high-energy performance to our live shows. Though we won’t be able to see everyone watching, we love to imagine folks at home dancing in their living rooms with us.”

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1100 Chatham Hills Blvd., Westfield What to get: Seared scallops Price: $32 Anna’s take: Chatham Hills is a beautiful venue with endless opportunities for fun and food. While touring the facility with a guest, I saw the beautiful pool with a swim-up bar, an indoor bowling center and other amenities, as well as two restaurants inside the club. We dined at The Hamilton Bar & Grille. We started with seared ahi tuna ($17), arranged in the shape of a flower, Cajun-rubbed and seared, with honey tataki sauce with rose sugar and wasabi. The sauce was smeared on the plate and had a savory caramel consistency that I dipped my fork in to taste again and again. We also tried the braised beef egg rolls ($16) — crispy bites of braised short rib, mozzarella cheese and creamy horseradish and sweet chili sauce for dipping. For the main event,

I had seared scallops, which featured four pan-seared jumbo scallops bathed in a red pepper coulis and dotted with pomegranate seeds, topped with refreshing slices of jicama and peppers. For dessert, I tried the tres leches cake ($10), a layered cake with strawberries, a three-milk blend and whipped cream.

Suggested pairings: Orin Swift Mannequin Chardonnay, $56 per bottle Editor’s note: Only Chatham Hills members can dine at other restaurants within the club. For more, visit chathamhills.com/ membership/membership-opportunities.

Behind bars: Bohemian Rasp-sody Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 2 oz. orangecello, 1 oz. raspberry-rosemary simple syrup, .5 oz. aloe, .5 oz. lemon juice, 2 dashes orange bitters Directions: Shake ingredients together and serve over chipped ice in a stemmed Collins glass; garnish with rosemary.

Blueprint for Improvement: Lakefront living in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene This 1997 home is in Carmel’s Bayhill neighborhood. The new homeowners wanted to update the exterior to enjoy the home’s prime spot on the water.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The wood decking and stairs were replaced with Trex composite decking, which is durable and virtually maintenance-free.

• The deck’s “cocktail” rail provides room for beverages or small plates; low voltage lighting adds ambiance when the sun goes down.

• A custom-built dog gate was added at the top of the stairs.

• Fresh paint and a new roof complete this stunning renovation.

FYI about eusystolisms Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt My wife and I are in a stage of parenting where we can’t get away with spelling words aloud around the kids anymore. Our son is a great reader GRAMMAR GUY and can sniff out a secret-parent-spelling code faster than you can spell i-c-e c-r-e-a-m.

Because of this, we use a language where we spell out words, except consonants are pronounced with their letter, plus the sound “ong” at the end of them, while vowels are just pronounced normally. So, my name would be “Cong-u-rong-tong-isong.” The kids will never catch o-nong.

Letters are powerful. In fact, in polite society, many people are still too shy to say delicate or harsh words, opting instead to use initials. Have you ever heard someone’s boss described as a “real S.O.B.?” Believe me, “S.O.B.” doesn’t stand for “super outstanding boss.”

When we use initialisms like this as a substitute for harsh or bad words, it’s called a “eusystolism” (pronounced yooSIST-o-lism). A eusystolism is the offspring

of an initialism and a euphemism.

Eusystolisms have made it into popular culture. Kenya Barris, creator of the ABC sitcom “Black-ish,” created and stars in a Netflix sitcom called “#blackAF.” Let’s just say the “AF” doesn’t stand for “Abercrombie and Fitch.” In fact, people avoid uttering this particular profanity by merely saying, “Oh F!” Mr. T portrayed the memorable character Bosco Albert “B.A.” Baracus in the 1980s action-adventure show “The A-Team.” Although “B.A” were the initials of the character’s first and middle name, the “B.A.” supposedly stood for “bad attitude.” I agree that the “B” stood for “bad,” but my opinion is that the “A” stood for something you couldn’t say on TV in the ‘80s. Perhaps it’s still unacceptable in a newspaper in 2021, so I’ll just say the “A” is the animal that talked to Balaam in the biblical book of Numbers Chapter 22.

Visiting historic Madison Commentary by Don Knebel One-hundred-fifty years ago, Madison, Ind., was among the Midwest’s largest cities. Today, it offers an opporTRAVEL tunity for a pleasant adventure 100 miles from Indianapolis.

In 1809, John Paul, an American Revolution veteran, acquired land along the Ohio River 75 miles west of Cincinnati. In 1811, five years before Indiana’s statehood, he began selling lots in a village he named “Madison” in honor of then-President James Madison.

After Madison became the southern terminus of the Michigan Road, connecting the Ohio River to Lake Michigan, the city grew rapidly. By 1850, with a population of 8,012, Madison was the 90th-largest city in the United States, only slightly smaller than Indianapolis. By 1870, with the growth of the railroads, Madison’s population began declining, but many of the buildings from its golden age were preserved. In 2006, 133 contiguous blocks of Madison’s downtown area were designated a National Historic Landmark, the largest such area in the U.S.

Today, Madison, with a population of about 12,000, is among the most popular destinations in Southern Indiana. The Madison Regatta, an unlimited hydroplane race held on the Ohio River every year during the Fourth of July weekend, attracts up to 100,000 visitors who watch the race from the well-maintained riverfront park. The picturesque Main Street, two blocks from the river, includes the gold-domed Jefferson County Courthouse and 19th-century buildings housing fashionable restaurants, shops, bars and a winery. Antebellum homes, including the historic Lanier Mansion (more next week), are open to the public. Clifty Falls State Park is just west of the city. Overnight visitors can stay in Madison’s many hotels and bed and breakfasts.
