LPD wins annual ‘Wingin’ It’ contest

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

A neck-and-neck competition between Lawrence’s fire law enforcement and police departments ended with the Lawrence Police Dept. winning the city’s annual “Wingin’ It With Our First Responders” contest Aug. 11. The wing-eating competition was created as a fundraiser in 2016 after the death of Amy Beverland Elementary School Principal Susan Jordan in January of the same year. Five members of each department competed during Community Safety Day. Emcee Ray Cox said it was the closest contest of the past three years, with LPD

al architecture and design company. “Our committee’s vision is to create a destination like no other with the Nickel Plate Trail that harnesses the heritage and entrepreneurial spirit of Fishers,” stated committee co-chair John Weingardt, a Fishers City Council member. “Resident input will be instrumental in developing a robust master plan for the experience of the trail. People of all ages are excited to give their ideas, and we can’t wait to hear them.” The planning process will focus on art, activation spaces and design elements such as different types of intersection

crossings. Currently, 116th Street is the only crossing evaluated by the City of Fishers’ engineering team. The team will decide if an at-grade crossing or separated grade crossing is appropriate for each intersection. At 116th Street, the team decided on a separated grade crossing via a tunnel. Public outreach efforts will begin this fall. When the trail expands into Indianapolis and Noblesville, those cities will participate with the master planning process.

Population is surging in most Indianapolis suburban areas, and McCordsville is no exception. Eight years ago, the town’s population was 4,797, according to the 2010 census. “In the ensuing eight years, we think our population is more like 7,500,” Galbraith said. “We haven’t done a special census just because we’re two years out from the next one in 2020, but with rooftop count and using the school multiplier, we think it’s closer to that number. When I started here in 2005, the population was 1,134.” The McCordsville Town Center plan is expected to be complete by the end of the year. Developers will then be hired. “This will not be built by the city,” Galbraith said. “We just want to make sure we have the land protected and zoned so we can control what goes there. The next step is to market it.”

The proposed area for the town center is a 150acre space at the southeast edge of U.S. 36 and Ind. 234. (Map Data © Google)

The McCordsville Town Center plan is focused on walkability.

All progressed nicely, and college led to a good corporate job. Sometimes, life goes just like it is supposed to go. Still, the attack on the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center had an unsettling and profound effect on the young executive — so much so that within two years the then-27-year-old quit his job and enlisted in the United States Marines. Not long after, he found himself in Fallujah, Iraq. A vehicle transporting Josh was destroyed by an improvised explosive device. Days later, he awoke to learn of the fate of his two fellow passengers – both friends and comrades, including Indiana native Sgt. Brock Babb. They did not survive the attack. The caring medical staff also had the burden to help young Josh come to understand that he’d lost both of his legs as well. Years later, Josh has distinguished himself as an author and public speaker. Recently, he addressed an audience assembled for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. The organization helps the kids of Marines “with particular attention given to children whose parent has been killed or wounded in action.” Josh recalled to the audience the deep sacrifice made by so many in service to our nation. Each day, he said, he was reminded that he was blessed. On Sept. 13 at Pebble Brook Golf Club, the Scholarship Fund holds its annual tournament and fundraiser and online auction. This year’s event honors Brock. To participate, visit mcsf.org/event/ indiana-golf-tournament.

I might have a problem. I got into an argument with one of my sisters over whether her daughter could sing a solo in a family skit I had written. humor Basically, I lost my fashizite because I didn’t want to share the spotlight with a 9-year old! And it’s not like we were performing on national television! It was for our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary party, where the audience would be entirely made up of family and the elderly. Literally, half the crowd wouldn’t even be able to hear what we were saying. But as a closet actress who has limited opportunities to showcase her subpar voice, I live for moments like this one. I wrote the lyrics, I had an artistic vision in mind — and having a cutie-patootie starlet cutting in would completely ruin the magic I’d spent hours working toward. See what I mean? I was behaving as if I’ve dedicated my life to the theater — as if this musical homage to the five decades since 1968 were all about me, rather than my parents and their amazing marriage. I had to get myself under control quickly, or not only would there be some unhappy people, but I’d perhaps damage my relationship with my sister. Luckily, I retracted my head from my rear in time and acquiesced not only to Little Miss Broadway, but all 13 of the grandkids. The finale piece, my clever rendition of the “Rent” song “Seasons of Love,” became a chorus line of voices both young and middle-aged, far exceeding my expectations. Lesson learned? Collaboration with others, even 9-year olds, makes everything better. Peace out.

Time for a change in the 5th District I haven’t met Susan Brooks. She doesn’t hold very many public meetings or discussions with her constituents. In fact, she usually holds what she calls “listening” sessions, which are one-on-one, instead of holding open town hall-style meetings where many people can meet and discuss issues with Brooks. She is not very available to the citizens of the state she represents. I have met Dee Thornton, however. I met her in her campaign office in Carmel, where she was available to speak to anyone who walked in. We talked about politics and about issues, and I made the decision that she will be the candidate for whom I vote in November. Susan Brooks votes in line with Trump’s position 98.9 percent of the time. Trump didn’t even get 98 percent of the vote in Indiana, so Brooks’ failure to seek out her own opinions and those of her constituents on issues disturbs me. I want to vote for a candidate who thinks independently about issues and does not simply follow the party line.

Dee Thornton thinks for herself. She supports raising the minimum wage; she laments the $5 million that have been diverted from Indiana’s public schools to charter schools and opposes vouchers for religious institutions. Thornton supports the Second Amendment but would like to reinstate the ban on assault weapons, ban bump stocks, raise the gun purchase age to 21 and strengthen background checks on those who wish to purchase weapons. She believes that climate change is real and supports national legislation that protects the environment. I agree with Dee Thornton on these issues, and our current representative has done nothing to support any of these concerns. I know the person for whom I will vote in November - and I will vote. I’m voting for Dee Thornton. It’s time for a change in the 5th Congressional District. You can find more Dee Thornton information at deethorntonforcongress.com. Patricia Grabill, Fishers

Rebooting the dating game Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I were relaxing on our deck, and after swatting a few mosquitoes, I said, “We should look into humor screening in this area.” “Dick, you’ve been saying that every year for the past 25 years. Not only that, but we are moving next week.” A few minutes later I mentioned how quickly the summer passes after July 4. “You say that every year around this time,” she responded. Suddenly, I realized that after 39 years, I didn’t have a single new thought. Uneasy silence followed. Mary Ellen finally spoke. “When it gets this hot, I think about cutting my hair shorter.” “Where have I heard that before?” I asked. We needed a way to jazz up our conversations. Mary Ellen had an idea. “An article I read recommended that longtime married couples should pretend they are going on a first date, which might lead to a romantic evening.” So, on Friday afternoon, I asked Mary Ellen to go out that night. She was annoyed that I waited until the last minute, assuming she didn’t already have other plans. I went

outside the house and rang the doorbell, like a real date, but she’s no dummy. She knew I had simply forgotten my keys. We drove off. “What shall we talk about tonight, Dick?” “How about movies?” “Great idea. I just saw ‘Mission Impossible.’” “I saw that, too.” “I know, Dick. We saw it together.” “Gone to any good new restaurants lately, Mary Ellen?” “No, my husband likes to go to the same places all the time.” “Mary Ellen, you don’t have a husband. This is a first date. What kind of a jerk goes out with a married woman? Let’s try travel. Have you ever seen the Pyramids?” “We went last year. How could you forget?” We didn’t really hit it off, but we must have connected on some level because despite a dismal first date, we both ended up back at my place.

Sangiovese Ristorante plans to open its second location restaurant at The Yard at Fishers District. The high-end Italian restaurant will add to the growing list of tenants filling up the $110 million property. “It’s going to be a place that people want to pull into,” said Chris Evans, owner of Sangiovese. The Carmel native has owned Sangiovese in Ironworks at Keystone since 2007. Sangiovese has a modern, cozy atmosphere and focuses on the art of fine dining. “It’s not your grandmother’s Italian restaurant,” Evans said. Menu items include lasagna alla bolognese, linguini bosco mare (linguine with

Gulf shrimp and shitake mushrooms and peeled tomatoes), penne alla emiliana (penne with sautéed Italian sausage, prosciutto and caramelized onions in a tomato and butter sauce), farfale con funghi (bowtie pasta with assorted wild mushrooms in an herb-infused olive oil) and Evans’ personal favorite, linguini con vongole (linguine with clams). Sangiovese derives its name from the black wine grape used to create Chianti and other Italian red wines. “I fell in love with the relationships you build there,” he said. “I realized that you really have something special when you have a neighborhood place with good friends and good drinks. When you create that, it’s really special.” The Fishers location will open in the fall of 2019. The new space will seat 120 to vv130 inside and include a large bar and outside seating.

Because iron in blood is no longer lost with each menstrual cycle, iron levels tend to increase after menopause. New research suggests that postmenopausal women who have excess iron in their blood are at higher risk for metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Postmenopausal women should get their iron levels checked regularly and should not take iron supplements before checking with a doctor.

Trehalose is a natural sugar that was approved as a food additive by the FDA in 2000. It is generally safe for healthy people. The danger, though, is that it also nourishes C. diff bacteria. So, people with infections can get worse if they consume trehalose. So, it’s best to avoid it if you have an infection or have recently recovered from one. Source: MethodsMan.com

The Four Freshmen to perform at Federal Hill By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Neil Lantz has been president of The Four Freshmen Society for six years. He and his wife, Sara Lou, have been members of the fan club for more the concert than 20 years. “I’ve been a fan since my high school days back in the late ’50s,” Lantz said. Naturally, the Fishers resident can’t wait to see the quartet play so close to home. The Four Freshmen will perform a free concert at 7 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Federal Hill Commons in Noblesville. Lantz and his wife will then go see the group play at Columbus North High School. “We’ve been on a cruise with them,” Lantz said. “We’ve been to a dozen of the conventions and they perform at those. We consider them good friends. They’re a great bunch of guys.” The 31st annual Four Freshmen Society Convention is Oct. 18 to 20 in South Bend with the group performing the final two nights. This is the 70th anniversary of the group’s formation. Brothers Don and Ross Barbour, Columbus, Ind., their cousin Bob Flanigan, Greencastle, and friend Hal Kratzsch, Warsaw, started the group at Butler University in 1948. Their blended style of harmonizing later inspired The Beach Boys, among other groups. The longest-tenured member of the group is Bob Ferreira, who is starting his 26th year. Ferreira, 48, sings bass vocal parts and plays the drums. He joined The Four Freshman in 1992. “The last original member and lead singer, Bob Flanigan, who had been with the group 44 1/2 years, was retiring,” Ferreira said. “When I joined, he and another member of the group was retiring simultaneously.” Flanigan stayed on as manager and owner of the group until he died in 2011. “He was the biggest cheerleader and believer that the sound could continue,” Ferreira said. Ferreira was referred to audition by former Four Freshman member Kirk Marcy,

ATI stages Hawaiian luau fundraiser editorial@youarecurrent.com An End of Summer Hawaiian Luau fundraiser to benefit Actors Theatre of Indiana is set for 6 to 9 p.m. Aug. 29 at Danny Boy Beer Works, 12702 Meeting House Rd., Carmel. Cost is $50 per person, which includes two free drinks. Music will be provided by Dwight Lightning and the Conch City AllStars, who play hits from the 1960s to today.

who was Ferreira’s instructor at Edmonds Community College in Lynnwood, Wash. “It was surreal to be able to audition for this group,” Ferreira said. “I thought I’d maybe try it for a year or two and if I didn’t like it, I’d go back to school and get my teaching degree. But I ended up just loving it and I still do. It’s not often that people get to do what they truly love to do, so I feel very fortunate.” Ferreira, who lives in Las Vegas, said the group is usually on the road about half the year. Ferreira said the group is always performing new arrangements. “We always stay within the style of the group, and most of the time we keep it to the timeless standards,” he said. “We do songs from the very beginnings in 1948 all

the way up to a month ago when we introduced some new arrangements. There’s always a core repertoire of hits, like ‘Poinciana, ‘It’s a Blue World’ and probably the biggest one, “Graduation Day.’” Ferreira said he loves the hardcore fans, like Lantz. “We have fans all over the world, several thousand members in this organization,” Ferreria said of the fan club. “They love the sound and celebrate the sound. It’s its own only little community.” The conventions are great times to catch up, he said “It’s almost like a family reunion,” Ferreria said. “I’ve known half of these people half my life. A lot of these people have become near and dear to me.”

Address: 5280 Bistro is a food truck that travels around the area. To find it, visit 5280bistro.com What to get: 5280 PB&J Price: $10 Anna’s take: It sells a wide variety of items, frequents Fishers Farmers Market and also can be seen at many beer festivals across the state. MashCraft Brewing Company, 11069 Allisonville Rd., features offerings from 5280 Bistro not offered on the food truck’s menu. I ordered one of the restaurant’s more popular items, the 5280 PB&J. The PB&J stands for “pork, bacon and jam.” Three to four slabs of pork loin are layered in a toasted pretzel bun. Thick, peppered bacon blankets the pork, and a homemade fig plum jam is smeared on the top bun. It’s a handful of a sandwich, and its flavor notes are sweet and savory. 5280 Bistro’s signature crispy potato chips, fondly referred to as “crack chips,” and a sprig of cilantro accompany the

sandwich, which is stacked high. The generous portion is well worth the $10. 5280 Bistro’s menu changes frequently, but the 5280 PB&J is one of its staples, and for good reason. Prepare to get your hands messy as you dive in, though. Suggested pairings: Craft beer. Chef’s take: Chef Joseph Hsu is from Taiwan. He said the main reason he and his wife began the business in a food truck is because the financial risk is much smaller. Also, the couple found the food truck is wildly popular at craft beer festivals, where Hsu said 5280 Bistro has found its niche. “We go outside the box and use things to make the food more interesting,” he said. “Especially coming from the pairing with beer events, the festivals we do, we want to stand out and look different from everybody else.”

Dark Mule features classics By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Gov’t Mule will turn to the Dark Side when it lands in Noblesville. Gov’t Mule will be joined by music The Avett Brothers and The Magpie Salute with the concert starting at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 23 at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center in Noblesville. “The Dark Side of the Mule” tour features Gov’t Mule performing some of Pink Floyd’s beloved songs. “‘Dark Side of the Mule’ has been fun because we hire background singers who are the wives of Jorgen Carlsson, the bass player, and Danny Louis,” drummer Matt Abts said. “We hire an extra keyboard player. It’s something Jorgen joined. It’s a big band. We do a theme every Halloween and New Year’s, and one year we did a Pink Floyd theme (in 2008). Someone contacted us and wanted us to do more, so we’ll do some this summer. We got all the lasers and light shows going on. Wow, what an extravaganza.” Prior to this summer, Gov’t Mule had done just two Dark Side full sets. Gov’t Mule has performed it four times this summer. Noblesville is one of four Dark Side

stops remaining this year. “It took a lot of rehearsal and prep to get everything working, but we love doing it,” Abts said. Since there are two other bands, Abts said he expects there will only be time for the Dark Side set. Abts is one of the band’s remaining original members, along with Warren Haynes, who was a longtime guitarist for the Allman Brothers. “It’s been a blast for the last 24 years,” Abts said.

Rotary’s BrewBQ set for Aug. 25 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carrie Dixon figures barbecue, brews and music create an irresistible mix. The Noblesville Rotary Club EVENT secretary is eager for the third annual Noblesville BrewBQ, set from 4 to 10 p.m. Aug. 25 at the Federal Hill Commons in Noblesville. “It’s our one big fundraiser, so it supports primarily the scholarship fund for Ivy Tech Noblesville campus,” said Dixon, a Noblesville resident who is in charge of marketing/fundraising for the event. “Last year, we had 350 people. Our goal and what we prepare for is 600 people. I think we’ll be somewhere in between that.” Dixon said proceeds allowed the Rotary to provide $7,200 in scholarships for the first two years. The Rotary Club awards the scholarships to high school graduates. The pulled chicken, ribs and burgers will be prepared by contestants. The barbecue will be judged by a celebrity panel. Dixon said BlueSky Technology will likely put together an online poll so there is a popular vote winner. Nameless Catering is providing the side dishes. Bier Brewery is returning as a beer

Verbs that mean business Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Buda Castle in Budapest, Hungary. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Buda Castle and the holy hand Commentary by Don Knebel Probably because of its previous association with the Soviet Union, many American visitors find Budapest unextravel pectedly beautiful and sophisticated. The Buda Castle is among its most popular destinations. When Maria Theresa of Austria became ruler of Austria and Hungary in 1740, Castle Hill, along the west bank of the Danube River in Buda, Hungary’s capital, had been the site of palaces for 500 years. To reward her Hungarian subjects for their support of her contested efforts to assume the throne, she erected a new palace atop Castle Hill that became known as Buda Castle. In 1771, Maria Theresa obtained possession of what was reputed to be the long-missing right hand of Stephen, Hungary’s first king. She gave this so-called “Holy Right,” claimed to have miraculous powers, to Hungary, which placed the mummified fist in the chapel of Buda Castle. Having no interest of living in Hungary, Maria Theresa allowed an order of nuns to use Buda Castle but soon decided that her lavish palace was no place

for a nunnery. She evicted the nuns and the palace housed a university. The palace was substantially damaged as it repeatedly changed hands. When Franz Joseph became King of Hungary in 1867, he made Buda Castle his primary residence and began a series of renovations and additions to make the now neoclassical palace the rival of any others in Europe. In 1873, Buda and Pest, previously joined by the Chain Bridge across the Danube, merged to form Budapest. Today, Buda Castle is home to the Budapest History Museum and Hungary’s National Gallery. Its beautiful grounds and spectacular views make for an ideal walking tour, but anyone hoping to see the Holy Right will be disappointed. The bejewelled relic was removed from Buda Castle in 1944 and now resides across the river in St. Stephen’s Basilica. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Dispatches Clean iron skillet — To prevent rust and extend the life of a cast iron skillet, it’s best not to use soap to clean it. Instead, use about a tablespoon of coarse salt to scrub the pan after a meal. The salt breaks up bits of stuck food and residue on the skillet. Then rinse the pan with hot water and dry it. To further protect the skillet, rub a few drops of vegetable oil over the cooking surface.

You’ve gone over your expertly tailored business suit with your lithium batterypowered lint roller grammar guy in the executive bathroom. Now, you’re assuming your power stance at the front of the conference room, getting ready to share your big PowerPoint presentation (or — as it’s known in startup circles — your “slide deck”). But, to get the seven-figure multi-national merger deal done, you’re going to need one more key ingredient: power verbs. We all know that verbs are action words, but some of them are puny, anemic and overused. If you use weak verbs in your presentation, the overseas investors are going to start yawning and looking at their own (probably Swiss) luxury watches, wondering at which Michelin-star restaurant they should dine later tonight. Let’s take the word “said” as an example. It’s boring, yet we drop it in by default into our everyday communication. Instead, consider more powerful verbs like yelled, demanded, explained or insisted. “Walk” is another verb that screams

“weak sauce.” No one just “walks” anymore, unless you want to walk straight to the unemployment office. Instead, consider using strut, dart, march, mosey or meander. See what I mean? Talk about “walking” like a boss, and you’ll soon be the boss. You can almost smell the rich mahogany of your boss’s desk, can’t you? Now, let’s take a look at “look.” No one even gives it a second glance. Instead of look, use a more creative, evocative word like gape, examine, notice, glare or stare. Finally, let’s talk about “talk.” Talking is for career mid-level managers (at best). Instead, use a stronger verb like spout, reveal, divulge, gab or mumble. Power verbs will win you friends and influence people, especially executive corporate vice presidents of overseas fiduciary acquisitions. Using power verbs will knock the designer socks off your potential investors. Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer.
