ZCHS graduate Dimmett wins Outstanding Teen

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Kate Dimmett had no expectations of winning Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen competition.

ACHIEVEMENT “This group of women were all so accomplished that winning was not even in my mind,” Dimmett said. “I knew that I had done everything I could. To me, just making the finals was incredible.”

The 2021 Zionsville Community High School graduate was crowned Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen June 19 at the STAR Bank Performing Arts Center in Zionsville.

“It was truly an incredible experience,” Dimmett said. “I made friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. This group of women was so talented, kind and intelligent, and I just went into the week with the goal of enjoying the experience and strengthening friendships.”

Dimmett is glad to be able to advance her

platform of Notable Measures, a nonprofit she started with her sister, Meg, four years ago.

“During the past four years, Notable Measures has been able to get to dozens of schools across Indiana and donate grants for their music programs. With the title of Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen, I feel we will be able to reach so many students and

programs in Indiana and even nationally to provide musical opportunities for students who wouldn’t otherwise in the competition have them.”

Dimmett, whose talent in the competition was tap dancing, said she plans to attend Indiana University this fall and major in finance and minor in music.

“I will be right here in the heart of Indiana and may have a little more flexibility,” she said. ‘I’m grateful and excited for the opportunity to represent Indiana this year and promote youth music education.”

Shaylee Barnes, another 2021 ZCHS graduate, was the third runner-up in the Outstanding Teen competition.

Olivia Broadwater, a 2020 ZCHS graduate, was selected as the second runner-up in the Miss Indiana competition. Broadwater, a musical theater major at Ball State, was the first runner-up in the Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen in 2019. Indianapolis resident Braxton Kennedy Hiser was crowned Miss Indiana.

Town opts out of opioid multidistrict litigation

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council unanimously passed a resolution that allowed the town to opt out of a state-level LAWSUIT opioid settlement case, allowing Zionsville to directly pursue damages caused by opioid manufacturers and distributors.

Zionsville and numerous other municipalities and counties and the state of Indiana have sued opioid manufacturers and distributors in recent years, seeking damages caused by the manufacture, sale and distribution of the drugs through multidistrict litigation.

Jonathan Knoll, a partner at Cohen & Malad LLP, said the town had the option to opt out of the multidistrict litigation by June 30 to pursue damages directly. The town council unanimously passed a resolution June 21 to do so, but the town can still opt

back in within 60 days of having passed the resolution, Knoll said.

“All cities and towns filed suit against the manufacturers,” Heather Willey, the town council’s legal counsel, told council members at a June 21 meeting. “They were consolidated at the federal court level because of all the cases being similar in nature, so we do have a lawsuit in our individual name, and I think that is part of the opt out.

The procedure is that we would be able to get damages in our individual, own name.”

The multidistrict litigation is pending and will not go to trial, Knoll said.

The town council and the mayor’s administration believe legislation recently passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb would greatly diminish the town’s ability to be compensated by responsible parties in the multidistrict suit. They say it is unclear how much revenue would be funneled back to

the municipalities. They also say opting out of it allows the town to sue additional parties outside of opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma and opioid distributors Cardinal Health, McKesson and AmerisourceBergen.

Willey and Knoll said numerous other municipalities have opted out of the multidistrict litigation, and more were expected to do the same by the June 30 deadline.

“The bottom line is, if the town does not opt out, there is the possibility that the town may not participate in future settlements because the town has sued other manufacturers, pharmacy defendants that the state has not sued,” Knoll said during the meeting.

“If it stays in the statute, the state retains 85 percent control of how the opioid funds are allocated and distributed throughout the state versus if the town opts out, it’s claims go forward in the court system, and it retains some control of how future settlements may be allocated and used.”

Three hours over Arizona Commentary by Ward Degler I ran across my pilot’s flight log the other day, and it took me back to a time when I was literally working in PLAIN TALK two places at the same time. Hopping into a small plane was the best way for me to more or less be in both places at the same time.

My logbook started with my first flight lesson and was ultimately placed in a remote corner of my filing cabinet several years and several hundred flight hours later when the work I had been doing stopped.

As much fun as it was to fly, and as practical as it was during those working years, one special memory remains the bright spot of my flying career. It happened in Arizona when I went to visit my parents, who had retired there.

The first place Mom and Dad lived in Arizona was in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains. Dad always liked mysteries, and it didn’t take long for the myths of the Superstitions to take over his imagination.

Tales of gold and the Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine filled his days. He spent uncounted hours studying maps and looking for lost

trails among the rocky crags.

During my visit, he showed me all the places where explorers had searched through the years and shared promising passages from several books he had studied. I suddenly had an idea.

“How would you like to see all of this from the air?” I asked.

Had he been a child of 3, and I had inquired if he would like a piece of candy, his smile could not have been brighter.

In less than an hour, I had arranged to rent a plane at a local airport. A few minutes later, Dad and I were airborne and headed for the mountains. We flew two leisurely passes through the mountain peaks before returning to the airport. I paid for three hours of flight time, and Dad was giddy for the rest of the day.

Of all the flying I did, the most meaningful were three hours in Arizona.

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

Lawyer: Styron restores VanGorder’s duties Zionsville Fire Dept. Chief James VanGorder on June 18 withdrew his counterclaim for LAWSUIT injunctive relief in the lawsuit between Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron and the Zionsville Town Council.

VanGorder’s legal representatives stated the decision Styron came because Styron had agreed to restore his core functions as the ZFD department head.

“Out of respect for the court process — and being placed squarely in the middle of a legal dispute between the Mayor and Town Council — Chief VanGorder (and his family) has remained painfully silent throughout the pendency of this case,” VanGorder’s legal representative Jeff Jacob stated in a media release. “Now that the Court has ruled that the Mayor’s actions in removing Chief VanGorder as the department head of ZFD exceeded her authority, and the Mayor has agreed to restore Chief VanGorder to

his core functions as the head of ZFD, Chief VanGorder has obtained the relief he initially sought when he intervened in the lawsuit.”

Styron sued the town council after it unanimously voted to deny her request to discharge VanGorder in March, asking a judge to determine whether the town’s mayor has the authority to unilaterally discharge department heads.

After the vote, Styron also placed VanGorder on a oneVanGorder week paid administrative leave and assigned him project manager duties, reporting directly to her and the town’s deputy mayor when he returned. The town council claimed the move was paramount to a demotion/discharge.

In a June 4 ruling, Boone County Judge Matthew Kincaid determined Zionsville’s mayor does not have the authority, settling a core issue of a lawsuit between Styron, the Zionsville Town Council and VanGorder.

But until June 18, VanGorder’s counterclaim for injunctive relief, which would have argued for a judge to restore his job functions, remained, and a hearing for the

injunction was scheduled for July 1-2.

Styron, Town of Zionsville officials, VanGorder and Jacob declined to comment for this story.

“Chief VanGorder is thankful for the Court’s speedy resolution of the dispute and appreciates the support of Town Council,” Jacob stated. “He also recognizes, and wants to thank, his colleagues at (the) ZFD and members of the community for their support. The support of the community has been overwhelming.

“Sadly, this could have been handled differently. The Mayor could have sought direction from the Court prior to discharging Chief VanGorder from his core duties. He was unnecessarily required to retain private lawyers to keep his job and defend his reputation. Chief VanGorder, who has faithfully and successfully served his community for 28 years, deserved better. Finally, while we respect the Mayor’s right to seek appellate review, we are hopeful that she opts not to appeal and this matter can be put to rest. Chief VanGorder looks forward to working with the Mayor’s administration to continue to protect the safety of the Zionville community.”

Couple establishs a nature preserve in northern Zionsville

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com What once was a golf club has now become a nature conservation effort in northern Zionsville, and town officials hope it will one day become a public park.

In 2017, Wolf Run Golf Club closed, and Stan Burton, the then-owner of the 216-acre property, began fielding offers from developers, which many local residents opposed.

But plans to sell the property stalled when the Zionsville Town Council and Zionsville Plan Commission denied a proposal to rezone the land and transform the former golf club into a neighborhood with up to 560 family homes and mixed-use buildings at the southwest corner of U.S. 421 and Ind. 32.

Because the land was never rezoned, Burton continued to look for a buyer.

In the summer of 2020, Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron toured the property. She later contacted two Zionsville residents with a love for nature, and the three thought of a different vision for the property.

Because the town wasn’t in position to purchase the property, Zionsville residents Jim and Nancy Carpenter, in an informal agreement, purchased what is now Carpenter Nature Preserve in February for $5.5 million with the intent to one day sell it to the town at a discounted price — approximately $4 million — so that the town could repurpose it as a public park.

Styron and Zionsville Deputy Mayor Julie Johns-Cole first toured the property the afternoon of July 10, 2020, with Burton, who told them a developer had approached him with plans to develop the land and build hundreds of homes. Styron said while touring the property they saw deer, eagles and other wildlife and that she began to picture another use for the property. Styron and Johnson visited Burton at the golf club again in August to discuss alternative uses for the property, something other than development and residential space.

“Little Eagle Creek went through it, and Mother Nature had kind of taken over a lot of the golf cart pathways,” Styron said.

“You could really start to see the wild coming back. This is like Little Eagle Creek to the north. We’ve got Starkey Park at the southern boundary of Zionsville, and if we had this property at the northern boundary, it would really solidify the ‘town within a

you, and I’ve always said to whom much is given, much is expected in this life. We’re not into buying yachts or into hiding money in bank accounts. This is what we want to do. It gives us a lot of joy.”

park’ moniker.

“It is the crown jewel achievement of our administration if we could turn this into a park.”

Styron knew the town would need to raise funds to purchase the property, and the town’s various boards, commissions and the town council also would need to approve the acquisition at a future date, so she began calling people who she knew had a vested interest in Zionsville parks.

One of the people was Nancy, who has been involved with Zionsville parks for 20 years.

Styron invited Nancy to see the property.

“I said, ‘I believe you, like no one else I know, will understand the incredible opportunity securing this land has for us,’” Styron said.

The Carpenters, who have been married for 38 years, have a history of promoting conservation. Jim, 68, founded Wild Birds Unlimited Inc., a franchisor of backyard bird-feeding and nature-specialty stores, in 1981. The company now has 360 locations in the U.S. and Canada, he said. Nancy, 65, grew up in a family of nature lovers and pursued related jobs, including as a science teacher and naturalist at Turkey Run State Park.

“We fell in love with the property,” Nancy said. “And when we heard there had been

attempts to develop it into maybe 350 homes, we thought that would have been a terrible tragedy and recognized Zionsville needs green space for people and for wildlife, so we thought maybe we could jump in and help here since the town wasn’t in a position to purchase the property.”

The Carpenters have dedicated their lives to nature preservation, especially birds. Jim said bird populations have declined around the world in recent years and that the wildlife conservation will help protect endangered songbirds. A 2019 study published in Science, a leading scientific journal, found North American bird populations have declined by nearly 29 percent since 1970. Their company, following the inventory’s publication, adopted a mission: save the songbirds.

Jim said Carpenter Nature Preserve marries their interests with the interests of their company.

“We have been in business for 40 years, and this is just one way to give back to the community,” Jim said. “We’ve been here for 35 years. It’s just what we do. This is what we’ve done for 35 years is protect, and then, if we can, we donate.”

“We just can’t see a better legacy in our life to leave the world a little bit better place,” Nancy said. “You can’t take it with

Jim and Nancy Carpenter have taken on the role of interim owners of Carpenter Nature Preserve. And while the town continues its goal of raising $4 million to purchase the property from the Carpenters, Jim and Nancy have begun planting trees, maintaining paths, controlling invasive trees, consulting experts and repurposing the land.

“Philosophically, what we hope is that the people of Zionsville, the community can really rally behind this and that Zionsville as a town can fund this,” Nancy said. “This is really a culmination of the work we’ve done our whole lives.”

The couple spent the evening of June 17 at what used to be the property’s club house. Near sunset, they gazed out at their work.

“A mother doe with her newborn baby fawn, we could see her down on the No. 1 fairway, which is right down the hill from the clubhouse,” Jim said. “Then another 50 yards behind her was a buck growing his antlers. Overhead, a bald eagle flies and lands in an old, dead tree trunk. And so that kind of paints the picture of what is happening for the transformation from a golf course to a nature preserve.”

Carpenter Nature Preserve is privately owned and not open to the public. The decision to open the property to the public will be made when and if the town can raise the funds needed to purchase it and turn it into a park, the Carpenters said. They expect repurposing the land and the town’s efforts to raise the funds will take several years.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Attention to intention

Battling an awful earful

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Sometimes, it just seems like we cannot get out of our own way. We have good intentions, plan and work hard. We are professionally trained and of good moral character. But there is a gap. Is it simple incompetence? Are our failures the result of sufficient effort but insufficient ability? Perhaps. Maybe the fault is one of some externality. Maybe the reoccurring fact that our objectives often do not materialize as outcomes is not because of us at all. Again, perhaps.

Is everything that we are doing the absolute best that it could be? Are we remaining open to better courses of action? Are there superior paths than the ones we’ve chosen? The smartest humans among us are constantly striving for self-improvement. Do we remember the destination even when we are fatigued from the journey? Do we meet people where they are without restraint?

The elementary school librarian could not seem to get little Frankie to return his library books on time. He’d been warned, lectured and incentivized — all to no avail. With good intention, he still didn’t deliver. In exasperation, he was banned from the library. OK, scofflaws must be held to account. Yet is it ever right to proclaim, you are dumb and we are going to keep you that way and that knowledge is ours and we only share it with those deserving? Sit still, stand in queue, pay the fine, toe the line, or you will be held back in ignorance. Can we teach Frankie the importance of responsibility by preventing him from having responsibility? Will our good intentions get to an equally good outcome? Could Frankie pay his penance by reading books about responsibility? Could he learn if we let him? Could he think of his actions as both intention and outcome?

Can we?

My ear-y tale of auditory distress continues, friends, as I have bravely fought — but not yet defeated — a weeklong battle against a giant ball of hardened wax and its ally, the mighty otitis. I’m currently regrouping during a momentary ceasefire orchestrated by those beloved diplomats, Advil and Zithromax, So here I am, still but I’ll have in agony, still in an to jump back epic fight for my into the fray soon. I can’t middle ear. actually hear – DANIELLE WILSON the enemy (or anything, for that matter), but I can feel them closing in.

I thought it would be a decisive victory during my second encounter on the fields of Minute Clinic, but, alas, despite an NP firing a (water) cannon into my left ear — three times, mind you — and then repeatedly stabbing said ear with what could and should be labeled a bayonet, that treasonous wax glob didn’t budge, not one iota. In fact, I dare say it decidedly hunkered down, refusing to yield even a tiny part of its Benedict Arnold-self or the canal it guarded. A full retreat was ordered, and I fled to the safety of my minivan, finding catharsis in 107.9 FM and post-traumatic tears.

So here I am, still in agony, still in an epic fight for my middle ear. The antibiotics, despite their powerful reputation, have failed thus far to provide the support they promised. Desertion is rampant sleep, appetite and balance are all AWOL — and I fear morale is dropping to unrecoverable levels. I have a few more days before the next scheduled assault and am praying that I will finally emerge victorious. Because one way or another, this needs to end. Auditory distress is hell, not to mention bloody ear-itating.

Peace out.

READER’S VIEW

Whitestown library to be paid for by Zionsville Editor, The proposed $9 million bond for a new library in Whitestown is on the Zionsville Town Council agenda for July 6. I believe the funding for this expansion has not been explained to Eagle-Union taxpayers.

The FAQs on the library’s website indicate only a small increase in Zionsville taxes from the current rate. I believe a better way to look at this is the following: The Eagle-Union taxpayers have done a great job of paying off the mortgages for the current beautiful library during the last 26 years and will be debt-free in two more years. The bonds proposed for the Whitestown expan-

sion will extend this liability, so without the expansion we could expect our library taxes to actually go down in two years. The Eagle-Union taxpayers will be paying for about 85 percent of the new bond costs.

I am not against paying for a new library in Whitestown, if that’s what the public wants. I am in favor of full disclosure and conversations with the folks who will be paying for it.

I am encouraging the town council to thoroughly review this bond request and suggest that you do, also.

Boone County remains yellow

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County is one of 10 counties with a yellow designation on the state’s color-coded coronavirus map, indiPANDEMIC cating an increased level of spread compared to most of the state.

The Boone County Health Dept. reported 37 new cases the week of June 12 to June 18. The department’s reporting weeks begin on Fridays. As of June 25, the BCHD has reported 7,262 total COVID-19 cases and 103 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

“We did see an uptick in cases in probably the last three or four weeks,” BCHD Nursing and Vital Records Director Lisa Younts said June 21. “It kind of was across the board, but in the last two weeks we’ve decreased back.”

Although the department has reported fewer than 100 cases per week since March, the department reported a positivity rate of more than 5 percent between May 15 and June 12, which prevented the county from being designated as a blue county. A county must report fewer than 100 cases and have

a positivity rate of less than 5 percent, or fewer than 10 cases, and a positivity rate below 10 percent for a blue designation.

Younts said she expects the county to return to blue in the coming weeks if COVID-19 cases continue to decrease.

“The majority of COVID cases in Indiana are in individuals that are not fully vaccinated,” Boone County Health Dept. Public Health Educator Claire Haughton stated.

“We’re especially concerned about this because the Delta COVID-19 variant, which is more infectious, is expected to overtake the Alpha variant as the most common strain in the state. According to the Indiana Department of Health, the Delta variant has already been identified in the state. So far, our current COVID vaccinations are still very effective at preventing infection with the Delta variant.”

Zionsville leads the county in vaccinations, with 88.6 percent of residents in its ZIP code being fully vaccinated. Nearly 79 percent of Whitestown’s residents are vaccinated, but less than 50 percent of residents in the county’s other three ZIP codes have been fully vaccinated.

Daniel’s Vineyard lands Indianapolis Opera’s Lobster Palooza

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera and Daniel’s Family Vineyard & Winery seemed like a perfect match.

EVENT “Wine is a very strongly associated craft with opera,” Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey said. “(Daniel’s Vineyard) really prescribes to an amazing craftsmanship and the desire to be dedicated to their neighbors. They’ve always explored a lot with music and cultural events. It just seemed to be the right avenue to explore.”

The 11th annual Lobster Palooza will be held at Daniel’s Vineyard in McCordsville from 5 to 9 p.m. Aug. 8. Current Publishing is serving as a media sponsor. National Bank of Indianapolis, Ellinger Riggs Insurance and Merrill Lynch also are sponsors.

“That’s a big change for us because historically, Lobster Palooza has been held at Basile Opera Center (in Indianapolis),” Starkey said.

The 2020 event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starkey said the opera company had to merge Lobster Palooza and Opera Ball into a virtual fundraiser with live singers.

“We just felt it was time to think of the next generation of the event after 10 years,” Starkey said. “We thought, what is the next decade going to be like for this fundraiser? Many people equate this to being one of the most unique, fun-filled events of that size. For this kind of size, 200 to 300 people, this has been consistently revered as the event. There is a new generation of opera fans, board members and donors, and they love this event. The event has brought in more of a younger, middle-aged crowd. This is real Maine lobster, and (we) have a special boiler expert we bring in from out of town to boil the lobster. We’re not getting frozen lobsters from the grocery store. This is the real deal. A Cut Above Catering has been the caterer and the chef of choice for many years of this event.

BEEF & BOARDS Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre presents “The Sound of Music” through Aug. 15. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

JUNIOR CIVIC THEATRE Junior Civic Theatre’s production of “Disney’s Frozen Jr.” at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel will be presented at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. June 29-30. Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Program will present “Revue!,” a cabaret show, at 6 and 8 p.m. June 29. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

RED BARN SUMMER THEATRE Red Barn Summer Theatre’s production of “The Odd Couple” will run through July 3 at the Frankfort theatre. For more, visit redbarntheatre.net.

“So, we’re taking a very successful event and we are putting it at one of the best developing venues in our region. It’s a win-win.”

The event will feature singers Daniel Narducci and Marci Jackson, who were leads in Indianapolis Opera’s 2019 production of “Camelot.”

The Dean Martini Band will perform between 7 and 9 p.m.

“That’s a new wrinkle. We haven’t had a band for years,” said Starkey, a McCordsville resident. “We’re going to have the opera singers sing with the band. There is a great space for people to dance.”

In addition to signature drinks and wine from Daniel’s Vineyard, Tito’s, Sun King and Still Moon products will be served.

A lobster event near Geist Reservoir seemed to be a logical match as well, Starkey said.

Starkey said the move also was generated by a motivation to develop new partnerships.

“Through a relationship we have with Visit Indy, a board member of ours, Janet Arnold, who works for Visit Indy, brought this recommendation to us,” Starkey said.

Starkey said many members already were aware of Daniel’s Vineyard.

“So, the learning curve was pretty short,” Starkey said. “The conversation started in late winter. We were just thrilled with their desire to expand and connect in the arts.”

The cocktail hour is at 5 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m. Tickets are $175 per person, and a table of eight is $1,400. A $100 portion of the ticket price is tax deductible.

Internationally renowned violin virtuoso Zachary DePue was named concertmaster of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra June 23.

“Carmel Symphony Orchestra is absolutely thrilled to announce that Zach is joining us and bringing his energy, his warmth, his versatility and DePue his overall musical passion to our orchestra and to our community,” CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes stated.

DePue was a CSO guest artist earlier this year, joining the orchestra for its performance of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons.”

DePue served as concertmaster for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for more than a decade and is well known as a founding member of the ISO’s first ensemble-in-residence, the international sensation Time for Three, with whom he performed for 15 years.

He performs on a violin made in 1846 by Giuseppe Rocca of Turin, Italy.

Painting the town

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Lexi Villamin has always enjoyed creating art but didn’t take it seriously until the past year.

ART Villamin, a junior at Guerin Catholic High School, recently put the finishing touches on a colorful mural painted on a wall inside the parking garage of the lower-level entrance to the new Hotel Carmichael in Carmel. The work is of a horizontal keyboard bordered by vivid designs above and below the black and white keys.

A 16-year-old Carmel resident, Villamin worked on the project for two months. She completed the 64-foot wide by 9 1/2-foot tall painting on May 31.

“I’m very proud of it. This is probably

the biggest project I have ever taken on,” Villamin said. “Although it isn’t perfect, I am proud of the work I put in and proud of the end result.”

Villamin’s design for the mural was chosen by Pedcor Companies, which developed the boutique hotel in a public/private partnership with the City of Carmel. Villamin, who is enrolled in Guerin Catholic’s IB visual arts class, originally submitted the design for consideration at the Indiana Design Center in Carmel, but Pedcor — which also developed the design center — wanted the mural for the Hotel Carmichael.

“Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had a fascination with art,” she said. “It was always something I did for fun, and I never took it too seriously until this past year.”

Address: 342 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Acai bowl Price: $14 Anna’s take: The Garden Table is a beautiful restaurant that has two locations, Mass Ave and Broad Ripple, with a third slated to open in Carmel in the fall. I tried an array of dishes at the Mass Ave location.

My favorite was the acai bowl — a vibrantly colored smoothie-like bowl topped with berries, house-made cashew granola, banana, almond butter, coconut flakes and minty herbs. A delicious combo of different tastes and textures, it’s a healthy way to eat something sweet. Another favorite was the Chilaquiles ($14), which is The Garden Table’s version of nachos with house-made corn tortilla chips, black beans, chicken tossed in salsa verde, a sunny-side up egg, avocado, queso fresco cilantro lime crema and a side of fresh pico de gallo. For vegetarian eaters,

the farro bowl ($12) is quite hearty with farro rice, portabello mushroom, carrots, roasted cauliflower and spinach and topped with a perfectly poached egg. Another healthy option is the Mediterranean salad ($13), a delicious spread of mixed greens, pico de gallo, couscous pearls, feta, roasted tomatoes, Kalamata olives and Greek dressing. And for the traditional breakfast fans, the blueberry hotcake stack ($8) is a tasty choice of four thick cakes that have a texture similar to combining a pancake and cornbread.

Suggested pairings: The Garden Table is a juicery with fresh cold-pressed juices, so I would suggest ordering a juice with your meal. You can purchase a glass for $9, a sample for $3 or a flight of four 5 oz. pours for $11. My favorites were the Neon Nectar, made with orange, carrot, apple, lemon, turmeric and ginger, and the Hoosier Heater, a green juice of apple, orange, spinach, kale, cilantro, jalapeño and lime.

Behind bars: Mexican Peach Mule Get it at Four Day Ray, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Olmeca Tequila, .5 oz. lime juice, .75 oz.

Monin Peach syrup, 2 oz. Jumex Peach Juice, ginger beer Directions: Mix first four ingredients, pour over ice in a copper mug and top with ginger beer.

July is National Grilling Month Commentary by Anna Skinner Celebrate National Grilling Month with a variety of sausages available at Old Major Market, 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. The sausages vary in flavor and make a great ingredient for an easy grilling recipe.

Ingredients: • Grillbasa (unsmoked kielbasa) • Korean gochujang (pork sausage with a lightly spicy kimchi, gochujang sauce, pickled garlic, ginger, green onion) • Pork sausage with bacon, poblano and cheese Directions: Cook the pork poblano and cheese sausages in a skillet so you don’t lose all the cheese. When cooked directly on the grill, the cheese melts and drips through the grates, but when cooked in a skillet, it caramelizes on the skillet and becomes a delicious crunchy snack. I used a cast-iron skillet and put it directly on the grill and let it heat up for several minutes. When smoking hot, I sprayed three pork, bacon, poblano and cheese sausages with olive oil and placed them in the skillet. I took one grillbasa and two Korean gochujangs and spritzed them with olive oil and placed them directly

on the grill. From here, it depends on your grill. Watch the sausages carefully and flip frequently until each side is crispy and fully cooked on the inside. Remove from the grill and enjoy. Total cook time is approximately 20 minutes.

Blueprint for Improvement: Meridian-Kessler master makeover Commentary by Larry Greene This 1925 home is in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood. The remodel from the 1980s was overdue for some functional and aesthetic updates.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The large deck tub was replaced with a compact soaking tub; a storage niche was added to the back wall.

• The knee wall separating the toilet and the tub was extended to the ceiling for privacy.

• Finishes include beautiful Alder wood cabinetry and matte white tile in a classic basket-weave pattern on the floor.

• Sleek modern touches round out the space, including matte black fixtures and an oversized LED mirror.

History of Samara House Commentary by Don Knebel In 1953, Dr. John Christian, a young Purdue professor, and his wife, Catherine (Kay), the university’s social director, TRAVEL engaged 86-year-old Frank Lloyd Wright to design a house for their 1-acre lot in West Lafayette. Today, that house is a National Historic Landmark.

After engaging Wright, Mrs. Christian sent him a 27-page document outlining her needs, including family space, a room accommodating 50 guests, and a formal dining room. With this input, Wright designed a 2,200-square-foot single-story house featuring red brick and Philippine mahogany. The design incorporated a slab floor, flat roof, cantilevered overhangs, clerestory windows and radiant heating, concepts Wright used for the relatively modest designs he des-

Samara House in West Lafayette.

ignated “Usonian,” a term referring to the United States. The design also included a “carport,” a word Wright coined in connection with his first Usonian home, built in Wisconsin in 1936. Wright named the Christian house “Samara” after winged pinecone seeds found on the property. Local contractors built the house between 1954 and 1956.

Wright also designed or specified many

items to be included in the house and arboretum, including furniture, rugs and carpets, lamps, linen, china, figurines and 80 species of trees. Some items incorporated a stylized samara motif Wright created. Others evoked Japan, including a guestroom chair made of plywood suggesting origami. The Christians committed to incorporating all of Wright’s ideas, even if that meant waiting until they

had sufficient funds. When Dr. Christian died in 2015, Samara included almost everything Wright had specified, including a disappearing television platform operated by remote control.

The April 2015 announcement of Samara’s Historic Landmark designation noted the house’s “remarkably complete Usonian design, incorporating more than 40 Wrightian design elements.” The house and arboretum, owned by the John E. Christian Family Memorial Trust, Inc. (on whose board I sit), are available for tours by reservation only at tours@samara-house.org.

In order to recover the cost of monitoring industrial wastes, the Utility shall charge the user the actual cost of the monitoring. This charge will be reviewed and revised on the same basis as all other rates and charges in the ordinance.

Section 2. The Return Check Charge for NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) shall be charged in the amount of $30.00 per check.

Section 3. Any current charges on the monthly user invoice that remain unpaid after the listed due date shall be assessed a late fee. The late fee assessed will be 10% of the unpaid current charges. This fee will be added to the following month’s user invoice.

Section 4. A Reinspection fee of $100.00 shall be charged to the property owner for each reinspection if a property fails an inspection or requires more than two inspections.

Section 5. An application fee of One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00) per EDU, up to a maximum of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) per permit, is due and payable at the time of submittal or issuance of the connection permit. Requested revisions to previously issued permits shall be considered a new permit and shall be subject to the application fee of $150.00.

Section 6. Utility Wide Connection Fee Prior to receiving a permit to connect to Utility sewer, the owner, les-

see or developer of any real estate within the Utility shall pay to the Utility a connection fee of Two Thousand Eighty-Three Dollars ($2,083.00) per EDU. Wherever practical the Utility shall utilize Indiana Administrative Code 327 IAC 3-6-11 to determine estimated average daily flow, based upon 310 gallons per day per EDU, and the proposed use of the real estate to be served. The minimum connection fee per parcel is one EDU. The owner, lessee or developer of the real estate may submit data to the Utility which purports to provide a more accurate estimation of the average daily flow (for example from water bills or other actual data setting forth flow from similar facilities). BOD, suspended solids, and other wastewater loadings may similarly be considered. Upon receipt and review of the data provided, the Utility may, in its absolute discretion, agree to an EDU amount that is other than the amount determined as specified above. The Utility may review real estate’s usage from time to time; if real estate is found to exceed the previously agreed amount, then upon notice by the Utility, the owner, lessee or developer of said real estate shall promptly pay Utility the difference in EDUs at the current rate. Any change in use or additions, renovations or alterations of said real estate may trigger review of usage by the Utility.

Residential lots previously containing a dwelling that was connected to the Utility’s sanitary sewers and having paid a monthly sewer service billing are exempt from the connection charge in the event the dwelling is demolished, and new residential dwelling built on the same real estate.

Section 7. Utility Wide Interceptor Fee In addition to the connection charge set forth above based upon EDU’s there is also due prior to the receipt of a permit, an interceptor fee of Four Thousand Seventy-five Dollars ($4,075.00) per acre. Residential lots previously containing a dwelling that was connected to the Utility’s sanitary sewers and having paid a monthly sewer service billing are exempt from the interceptor fee in the event the dwelling is demolished, and new residential dwelling built on the same real estate. Lots and parcels that are part of a Utility neighborhood sewer extension project in which local sewer charges are assessed by ordinance are also exempt.

Section 8. Prior Connection, Interceptor, and Application Fees The connection, interceptor, application fees and reinspection fees established under the Ordinance shall preempt and supersede and wholly replace the connection, interceptor, application, and reinspection fees previously established under Ordinance 05-11-2021, and any other prior Ordinances of the Utility as the same may be amended from time to time by the Utility. Nothing in the Ordinance shall be construed as limiting the applicability of the Utility’s various use ordinances or other definitions or terms contained in other Ordinances, exception only the specific interceptor, connection, application, and reinspection fees set forth therein.

Section 9. The invalidity of any section, clause, sentence, or provision of this Ordinance shall not affect the validity of any part of this Ordinance which can be given effect without such invalid part or parts.

Section 10. The revised rates shall become effective for service received July 1, 2021 and thereafter.
