Krupp to run for attorney general By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville resident Adam Krupp, 41, announced Jan. 13 his resignation as commissioner of CANDIDATE the Indiana Dept. of Revenue, effective at the end of the month, to seek the Republican nomination to run for Indiana attorney general. “I’m just ready to do more for Indiana as a proud public servant,” Krupp said. Krupp has served under former Govs. Mitch Daniels and Mike Pence and serves for Gov. Eric Holcomb. Krupp said he is qualified to serve Indiana as its next attorney general. Before joining the Dept of Revenue, Krupp served as general counsel for Indiana’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles. He also was special counsel to Pence and was deputy director and counsel for Indiana’s Division of Family Resources. Krupp also has significant private-sector law firm experience. At the Dept. of Revenue, Krupp was tasked with overseeing an organization with 700 employees. “I view the office of attorney general as a public law firm,” Krupp said. “And Indiana’s attorney general, in that sense, is the managing partner of that public law firm. It’s about organizational leadership, and you have to inspire at the attorney general’s office approximately 350 professionals to sacrifice personal gain and commit to something bigger than themselves.” Krupp’s announcement comes as Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill faces multiple sexual misconduct allegations. Hill, a Republican, took office in 2017 and plans to run for a second term. But in light of the allegations, many top officials, including Holcomb, have expressed a desire for him to step down. “As an attorney, I believe in due process. The process will play itself out. I think we’re close to resolution,”

Adam Krupp is seeking the Republican nomination for attorney general. (Submitted photo)

Krupp said of the allegations against Hill. “I think voters are ready for this to come to a conclusion. I’m sure delegates are as well. There’s no doubt it’s been a major distraction, and ultimately, we’ve got to change the conversation from the negative and the cloud surrounding the current administration to the positive and what the Indiana attorney general can do for Hoosiers and what the office is supposed to do to protect our state’s interests, and until we reach resolution, we’re just not going to be able to get there. “And we may not be able to get there unless we have a new attorney general, and I hope to be the person to get to serve in that capacity, to really honor the office as it should be, to the benefit of all Hoosiers.” If elected, Krupp said he wants to continue many of the initiatives at the attorney general’s office but also bring a renewed focus to cybersecurity and cybercrime. “I know that there is some work done at the attorney general’s office already with identity theft, but it’s

not as proactive as it should be,” Krupp said. Krupp also wants to bolster the prosecution of tax evasion cases, amont other initiatives. “(I want to) bring a dedicated focus to child support delinquencies,” Krupp said. “Protecting our most vulnerable is part of what the attorney general’s office does.” Krupp also wants to create an open government division to promote transparency, shifting the public access councilor’s office into the attorney general’s office. “They essentially administer and enforce a law designed to promote transparency, and I think the attorney general’s office is uniquely positioned to put some real teeth behind that law,” Krupp said. With Krupp’s announcement, he joins Hill and fellow Zionsville resident John Westercamp in vying for the Republican nomination for attorney general. Convention delegates will decide which of the three candidates will represent the Republican Party in the May 5 primary. The general election is Nov. 3.

A Zionsville family credit their 4-year-old son for possibly saving their lives. FIRE A two-story home in the Sugarbush subdivision caught fire the morning of Jan. 8, and Connor Minarik remembered what he learned about fire safety from ZFD Public Educator Vincent Randolph in October 2019 during the annual Zionsville Fire Dept. Pancake Breakfast. Minarik woke up early and smelled smoke, so he immediately woke up his parents, Jeremy and Jennifer Minarik, and they were able to start evacuating with Connor and his two brothers, Liam, 1, and Aiden, 7, before it began to activate their alarms, according to a press release. “I honestly think Connor really did possibly save our lives and definitely prevented more damage to the house,” Jennifer stated in the release. “He definitely knew to come wake me and let me know he smelled smoke, and thank goodness he did.” No injuries were reported. ZFD

crews were able to safely remove the family’s large dogs. Fire investigators determined that a wood-burning fireplace developed a gap that caused the ceiling of the utility room below to catch fire. The closed utility room door held back the fire and smoke, which delayed the smoke alarm activation but also gave the family more time to escape. Whitestown and Carmel Fire Depts. assisted ZFD, along with the Zionsville Police Dept. “We are very proud of Connor,” Zionsville Fire Chief James VanGorder stated. “He remembered what Vincent and ZFD firefighters taught him to do. He alerted his family, and they were able to get out and call us in time to put out the fire while it was still small.” ZFD officials said it is important for residents to check all smoke alarms to ensure they are less than 10 years old and still work when pushing the test button. It also is important that family members know how to get outside to a safe place if there is a fire.

Recollections of a printing press Commentary by Ward Degler We watched a movie the other night that wove its plot around, among other things, a printing PLAIN TALK press. Not just any press, either. This was an antique Heidelberg Platen Press, the kind with the big flywheel on the side and a large, flat metal platen where the ink is smeared. That press played a big role in my life when I was in third grade. It was part of the weekly newspaper in the southern Missouri town where my dad worked as a forester. Dad always stopped at the newspaper office after work on Wednesdays to pick up the current edition. One day, I went with him. Inside the office, I was instantly mesmerized by the clank-clank-clank of that press while the operator deftly and rhythmically placed one sheet of paper after another on the bed of the press. Dad had to say my name three times before I heard him when it was time to leave. On the way home, all I could think of was, ‘Wow!’ The next day, Dad informed me that the paper wanted to hire me after school. It didn’t matter that the job was sweeping the floor and doing odd jobs. I was going to spend hours in the same room as that magnificent printing press. Part of my job was running around town collecting advertising copy from local merchants. I moved quickly from store to store so that I could get back

to that press. Like most small towns back then, commerce relied heavily on printed flyers that could be stuck in mailboxes and on car windshields. That was what the Heidelberg was for. The newspaper was printed on a larger flatbed press in the back of the office. After sweeping the floor on Wednesdays after the paper came out, my biggest job was separating the type used to print the flyers and return it to the wooden type case. I learned that case was called a California Job Case, and the newspaper had 30 or 40 of them, each for a different type font. I also learned that type was set in a hand-held metal box called a stick, and that the frame it was set into for printing was called a chase. I also learned that a stick or chase that spilled onto the floor was called pied type. Still, I loved every minute of it. We moved away after that summer, and even though I kept my eyes open, I never found another newspaper office that would hire me to clean up around its Heidelberg press. But I did wind up in journalism school and spent a lot of time writing and editing. And, of course, remembering my first newspaper job.

Legislators recap bills ahead of short session By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com A group of central Indiana lawmakers met at Conner Prairie in Fishers Jan. 10 to discuss GENERAL bills they are proposASSEMBLY ing for the General Assembly’s 2020 legislative session, which runs from Jan. 6 to March 13. What follows is a summary of what each state senator and represetitive told the audience about some of the bills. Republican Sen. John Ruckelshaus, 30th District, said he proposed a bill to fund a study to find the state’s average teacher pay compared to neighboring states and the entire U.S. “Where do we rank among all of those?” Ruckelshaus said. “What is the number we need to aspire to?” Democrat Sen. J.D. Ford, 29th District, co-sponsored a teacher-licensing bill with Ruckelshaus that repeals a provision that demands teachers accumulate professional growth experience points through externships to renew their license. Republican Sen. Victoria Spartz, 20th District, said she has proposed legislation to champion deregulation for schools and businesses. “I’ll tell you, it’s much easier to regulate than deregulate,” Spartz said. “But I think it’s important.” Republican Sen. Jim Buck, 21st District, wants to require political parties to nominate candidates for the U.S. Senate, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor of state, treasurer of state and attorney general in a state convention instead of a primary election with a bill he sponsored. He said running for office has become too expensive, often leading to gubernatorial races that require candidates to spend millions of dollars out-of-pocket. “I’m just concerned that we’re getting to the point where ordinary people can’t run for office because they can’t afford it,” Buck said. Republican Rep. Chuck Goodrich,

29th District, said he wants to pass a bill that eliminates the income of a student in a work-based learning program or internship from affecting the benefits their family receives. Republican Rep. Jerry Torr, 39th District, said he doesn’t have many bills that will make headlines, but he is co-sponsoring legislation with Goodrich and Republican Rep. Donna Schaibley that allows judges of the Hamilton Circuit and Superior Courts to jointly appoint an additional magistrate. Schaibley, 24th District, introduced a bill concerning health care costs. “I think all of us — people, individuals — are dealing with the exponential cost of health care,” Schaibley said. Her bill would require the governing board of a nonprofit hospital to hold public, semiannual meetings explaining measures the hospital is taking to make health services more affordable. Republican Rep. Tony Cook, 32nd District, co-sponsored a bill that decouples testing from teacher evaluations. “I’ve always thought that was unfair,” Cook said. The bill would remove the requirement that a school corporation’s annual performance evaluation plan for teachers be based, in part, on of student test scores. Republican Rep. Todd Huston, 37th District and House Speaker-elect, said his role has changed, and as a result, he wrote only one bill. But he stressed that the area is “represented extraordinarily well” by the lawmakers in attendance. “It’s a privilege to serve with these folks,” Huston said.

On a pleasant day, he’ll stroll down the town’s bricks on Main Street and talk to the merchants for an hour or two, asking questions, gaining insight, inquiring if there is anything he can do to better serve the town. Some days, he brings newly swornin officers, too, so residents can meet them. As a result of his dedication to community policing, his face is well recognized in Zionsville. But after more than 40 years, nearly all of which were spent serving the town, Knox, 62, has announced he plans to retire. He and his wife, Karin, discussed the decision for more than a year. “It felt like it was time,” Knox said. “I’ve had a wonderful career and have been very blessed with a lot of opportunities and absolutely amazing people to work with, work for, learn from.” Knox’s last day with the department will be April 6. His successor has not been named. Knox plans to speak at the Zionsville Town Council’s April 6 meeting, his final chance to address the community in a public setting. When Knox began working for the department as a reserve officer, it had only five officers in what was an ideal, quaint town for the self-described “Boone County country boy.” The town has since grown, and so, too, has the police department, which now has 38 sworn officers. During his tenure, Knox has seen many changes in the department and in policing more broadly. He said he takes pride in the department’s com-

munity outreach and in its citizens’ academy, teen academy and drug take-back program. He praised its ability to take drugs and unwanted pharmaceuticals off the street and for equipping officers with the best equipment. He also lauded the dedication of the men and women at ZPD and the partnerships it has forged with other departments in town, in the county and across the state and the U.S. “It’s really a group that works well together,” Knox said. Thrust into a leadership position eight years ago when he was appointed chief, Knox was asked to do many things. One of them has been to guide and mentor the next generation of ZPD officers. “What keeps me up at night is worrying about these men and women,” Knox said. “It’s been an opportunity of

a lifetime, the best job I’ve ever had, but also the most stress I’ve ever had. It really is a roller coaster. There’s never been two days that have been exactly the same.” Although there have been disturbing scenes that will be difficult to forget, Knox said there is no other career he could have pursued. He said the field almost draws people to it, attracting only those with the specific personality suited for the job. “(It takes a) certain type to go out there and put yourself in harm’s way for somebody you’ve never met,” Knox said. “But you’d have to ask Freud what that personality would be.” ZPD Capt. Bob Musgrave said Knox has always been an “ultimate professional.” The two worked together before Knox was first hired by ZPD, when Knox was a reserve officer at the Lebanon and Whitestown police

departments. When Knox was hired by ZPD as a full-time officer, joining Musgrave, the two began a friendship that has lasted more than four decades. When Musgrave had to take six weeks off for an illness last year, Knox called him every day and stopped by to see him in the hospital three times the day of his surgery. “It’s appreciated beyond words,” Musgrave said. Knox makes personal calls to officers in the department every day and checks in with them when stressful events occur, Musgrave said. “I told him the other day, ‘You’re going to keep a uniform at home, aren’t you? Just so you can wear it every day,’” Musgrave said. “It’s been a pleasure to have him for our police chief, and not for just us, but for the community. Whoever sits in that chair next is going to have some big shoes to fill.” Although he’ll no longer be in uniform, Musgrave said he won’t be surprised to see Knox taking his “Andy Griffith” walks down Main Street long after April 6.

RUNS IN THE FAMILY Zionsville Police Dept. Chief Robert Knox always knew he wanted to be a police officer. He grew up in Advance, a small town in Boone County, and had little desire to venture far from home. His father, Darrell Knox, was a military police officer. Years later, Robert Knox took after his father by becoming a police officer, and now Robert’s son, Justin, has taken after him, becoming a sergeant at the Lebanon Police Dept. “My wife Karin and I are so proud of him,” Knox said. “But I now realize what I put my parents through. But he’s a sharp kid, and I’m proud of him.”

LETTER

Living well

All views encouraged

Commentary by Terry Anker So, the aphorism goes: The only thing constant is change itself. As our years on the planet rack up, we become more confirmed in the cliché. We communicate with each other differently. Texting, cellphones and email were inconceivable only a few years ago. We eat, travel and reside in an ever-evolving fashion. The very expression of what it means to be a family, community and society is constantly being reimagined, contorted and tested. And even the age-old “Dating Game” has entirely new rules. Kids and adults find each other via apps and chat rooms. It is a brave new world. Yet, aren’t we still seeking companionship, love and relevance just like we always did? Still, shouldn’t we challenge our accepted notions occasionally, not necessarily to overturn them, but to determine their applicability and validity? Are we living well? Are we living as we should? The examination of a life shouldn’t imply that the existing life is unworthy – often in review we discover that the patterns we employ, even while imperfect, are the very best choices available. Should our desire for change allow for a reinvestment in the existing standards and relationships? While many of us only consider “change” to mean a wholesale destruction of what came before, is it possible that our gnawing and unsettled lives don’t demand something new but rather a proper execution of and investment in that which we already have?

Editor, A recent letter (Jan. 7 edition) complained about editorials in Current that criticize President Trump and seemed to suggest that editors should not express their personal views. However, that is exactly what editorials are — the views of the editor who has every right to express them. It’s called First Amendment rights. I seem to recall opinions that supported some of Trump’s accomplishments and also recall editorials that criticized President Obama. Bullying? Come on. I disagree with the writer’s view that there is no reason for a political article in Current. I encourage such articles on important issues facing our town, our state, our country and our world. Jim Detwiler, Zionsville

Resolute against self-improvement

The 2020s have begun. I know I’m supposed to make New Year’s resolutions to better myself, HUMOR but I never do. I’m just not very good at self-improvement. There are plenty of other people out there who could resolve to make Dick Wolfsie’s life simpler and less stressful. For example: • Everyone who will ever be in front of me in line at Dunkin’ Donuts should resolve not to spend three minutes deciding whether they want the 13th doughnut to be chocolate creme or glazed blueberry. In 1979, I picked my future wife out of a crowd at a party in 90 seconds. Choosing a pastry should be quicker. • My wife must resolve to quit bugging me about wearing my hearing aids. She nagged me for years to buy the darn things. She claims there’s no point in having them if I don’t put them in my

ears, like I had never heard that before. • Cashiers should resolve to not look at my full name on my credit card and call me Rich. My mother called me Richard only when she was really annoyed with me. Our accountant once called me rich after grabbing someone else’s tax return by mistake. • My friends need to resolve not to make fun of me for still having an AOL account. I know you Gmailers and Ameritech people think you are really hip. So, knock off the kidding or I’ll throw my flip phone at you. • Scammers should resolve to not send me emails saying I have won a $100 gift card to Amazon or Walmart. I have not won a gift card. I have “won” the opportunity to answer 100 questions, and then maybe I have a chance to have a chance to win a $100 card if I sign up for periodic chimney sweeping or duct cleaning.

• Publishing companies must resolve to not send me renewal notices when I still have two years left on my subscription. I don’t keep track of this stuff, so I am now getting four copies of Time magazine every week. • Fast-food places must resolve not to give me the senior discount unless I specifically ask for it. When the cashier sees my gray hair and wrinkles, I get 10 percent off. But then I go to Kroger for beer and I have to show my driver’s license, in case I’m a really mature-looking teenager. I have some more resolutions on my list, but first I want you to resolve never to call me grumpy. Happy 2020 to all!

Animal rehabilitation efforts in Indiana By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Andrea Quigley, a volunteer veterinarian and educator at Providence Wildlife Rehabilitation WILDLIFE Inc., recently taught families at Zionsville Town Hall the role animal rehabilitators play in saving some of the injured wild animals they may see in their area. Quigley said the animals the organization rehabilitates are there because they need help. The organization cares for injured animals that can’t be released into the wild. The determination is made by the rate of recovery, with some never returning. Others are painlessly euthanized due to the severity of their injuries. Providence Wildlife Rehabilitation staff is composed entirely of volunteers, and the organization operates solely on donations, with thousands of dollars needed every year just to

feed the animals it takes in. Part of a volunteer’s duty is husbandry and part is medical care. Volunteers can take in any animal, presuming it can be properly cared

for. Some large mammals require too much space, and volunteers aren’t trained to handle some species. Quigley said that if a resident comes across an injured animal, iden-

tify what type of animal it is. Some require more care or would be best handled by a professional. If possible, place the animal in a container with a tight lid and air holes and check with the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources to see the nearest location the animal can be brought for rehabilitation. The Indiana DNR maintains a list of all animal rehabilitators in Indiana.

3 goals for transformation Commentary by John Karesh If you’re interested in improving your physical appearance, strength and conditioning, you FITNESS really need to do only three things to attain success. Don’t make things difficult on yourself. Consider: Start a resistance-training program You can join your local gym, hire a personal trainer, try Pilates, CrossFit or simply use a set of dumbbells and a bench at home. If you commit to at least two full-body training days per week, your physique will reap ample benefits. The key in resistance training will be doing a routine that includes legs, the major muscles in your upper body (chest; latissimus dorsi muscles, known as the lats, are the large V-shaped muscles that connect your arms to your vertebral column; shoulders, triceps and biceps) and core. The core routine would be exercises that train lower abdominals, side obliques, upper abdominals and the low back. Start a cardiovascular program When starting a cardiovascular program, the main objective is training the heart muscle, and to do so you need at least 15 minutes of elevated heart rate continually. The

heart works hand in hand with your resistance training. The stronger your heart is, the more you will be able to push yourself on your weights or resistance. I recommend getting a heart rate monitor and training at about 55 percent to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate. Remember, you can do almost anything that will elevate heart rate to make this count. Simple things would be to go walking or biking, or use of a treadmill, a rower or an elliptical, among other options. Improve your diet Diet can make or break a fitness program. Your diet doesn’t have to be difficult. Start with drinking water. You want to drink roughly 50 percent of your bodyweight in ounces of water each day. The water alone can lead to weight loss. Cut out the sugars, lower carbohydrate intake, lower fat intake and eat plenty of vegetables. Most women will require between 1,200 and 1,600 calories per day, and men generally will require up to 2,000 calories per day.

Warm up with these winter whiskeys By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Fashion choices and wine and spirit selections become darker in the winter months, LIBATIONS and local restaurants and bars are joining the trend. Here’s a guide to navigating some of the best local whiskey selections in Hamilton County. CONVIVIO ITALIAN ARTISAN CUISINE 11529 Springmill Rd., Carmel Customers may be more apt to think of ordering wine when dining at an upscale Italian restaurant, but Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine’s Winter Old-Fashioned ($15) may change minds. Convivio’s take on an old-fashioned is a punchy rendition of the traditional cocktail, combining a blend of the restaurant’s house-made gingercello, Knob Creek Rye, 1821 Apple Cardamom Shrub, Woodford Reserve Chocolate Bitters and a muddled orange garnished with a cinnamon stick and star anise. The drink goes down amazingly smooth and warms you inside out. Pair with a hearty serving of pasta. For more, visit convivioindy.com. 1933 LOUNGE 9707 District North Dr., Fishers 1933 Lounge has an impressive bourbon selection. It offers four bourbon and whiskey flights with three-quarter-ounce pours of three different whiskeys. The bar offers a Bourbon Starter flight with Basil Hayden, Buffalo Trace and Noble Oak for novice bourbon drinkers for $14. A Private Selections flight features Whistle Pig, Woodford and Knob Creek Rye for $19. The Director’s Flight features Rabbit Hole Dare-

ringer, Old Forester Statesman and Angels Envy for $21. For discerning drinkers, an Orphan Barrel Rhetoric Library flight features Orphan Barrel’s 23-year, 24-year and 25-year selections for $85. Pictured above, the Private Selections flight has flavors of, clockwise from left, Whistle Pig Rye with a citrus nose and notes of vanilla, light toast pear and almond; Woodford Reserve with notes of honey, brown sugar, vanilla and a malted finish; and Knob Creek Rye with notes of butterscotch, cinnamon, bergamot and spearmint. For a decadent splurge, try a glass of Whistle Pig’s 18-year rye for $81. The libation has an elegance and balance for a well-rounded, softer whiskey. Order it neat with a side of ice to sample each flavor profile because ice or water will open the flavors. For more, visit 1933lounge.com. THE BROKEN BARREL 1156 Keystone Way, Carmel Nestled in a small room next to Wolfie’s Grill in Carmel, The Broken Barrel has a speakeasy vibe with its

wood tones, exposed brick wall and leather chairs. A lone television continually shows blackand-white classics with no sound, and swing music plays in the background. The bar offers 95 kinds of whiskey and an expansive cocktail menu, and even new whiskey drinkers will find something they like, usually in the Dave’s Golden Rip-off ($9), a blend of Larceny Bourbon with Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, lemon juice and an organic honey shrub. For seasoned whiskey drinkers, try a flight of Japanese whiskey for $40, which features 1.5-ounce samples of Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Coffey Malt and Nikka Pure Malt. Flights are generally served with a side of ice. For cocktail lovers, try the Basil’s Dark Manhattan ($10) made with Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye, a velvety whiskey blended with port.

Warm-climate winners Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Arguably, we’ve had more than our share of warm days this winter. However, chilly days WINEderlust are here, and with that, I’ve got some suggestions to chase away those winter blues. Grapes grown in warm climates have distinct flavors that translate to wines that have warmth and a powerful presence. My picks for this month are available at Tasteful Times in Fishers. From the Piedmont region in Italy, Angelin Negro, Nebbiolo. It smells like roses and tastes like juicy, ripe blackberries. This wine has the most subtle flavors of this bunch, but still offers nice structure with tannins that are evident ($17.99). For my white wine lovers, try El Enemigo Chardonnay (Mendoza, Argentina), $25. Winemaker Alejandro Vigil is a master of chard, and this beauty is no exception. It reminds me

of caramel apples. Bright, tart fruit, but rounded with butterscotchy, salty flavors that linger. Today’s winner hails from Jumilla, Spain. Clio is a big red wine (mostly monastrell with some cabernet sauvignon). It is a perfect match with steaks or lasagna. You’ll get a big, fragrant face full of red fruit and vanilla while your palate enjoys blueberries and toasty oak. Quantities are limited, so don’t dally ($34ish for your next special occasion). Cheers! Shameless plug: Yours truly will be teaching some foodie wine classes each Wednesday in February at the new Fishers Test Kitchen. Please sign up to join the fun.

Corlew plays multiple roles By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For David Corlew, it’s a role of a lifetime. Or is it 12 roles of a lifetime? Corlew plays 12 difMUSICAL ferent suspects in the Indiana premiere of “Murder for Two” at Actors Theatre of Indiana at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The performances start Jan. 24 and run through Feb. 16. “I’ve never had to Corlew play and sing and speak quite as much as this as I’m playing,” Corlew said. “It’s nonstop.” All of the voices have different accents and inflections. “There is a lot of mechanical practice of going from one accent to another quickly,” Corlew said. “It’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, and I can’t wait.”

Adam LaSalle plays the role of a police officer attempting to solve the murder of a famous author. “It’s a dream show of mine,” LaSalle said. “We’re both playing piano throughout the show. We both have a challenge of carrying the show and passing it back and forth.” LaSalle said he loved the play since the first time he saw it. “I always wanted to play this part and, hopefully, one day play David’s role,” LaSalle said. “Having to worry about all LaSalle those voices and characters, David has more of the technical challenge. The piano is a good challenge for both of us.” LaSalle, Corlew and director Tony Clements are all making their ATI debuts. LaSalle and Clements are based in New York and Corlew in Chicago.

Anna Zigmond is a huge believer that dance can connect people. “The body lanTELEVISION guage and what we can convey through dance is totally unique,” she said. So, the 2013 Guerin Catholic High School graduate from Carmel was a natural fit for “Flirty Dancing.” Zigmond, who lives in Los Angeles, appeared on the Fox TV show Jan. 8. She danced with two men on a blind date. At the end, she picked one to go on a date with, but there was no love connection. “The whole concept is people can find a romantic connection through dance,” she said. “All the lead up to dance days, I never saw these guys. When we are doing the dances, we can’t talk to each other.” Zigmond said she was amazed by the production of the entire show. “It looks like ‘La La Land.’ It felt like

a fairy tale,” Zigmond said. “I think I was the only one in the entire series that had kind of a dance background. Even the two guys I danced with had never danced before. One guy was a substitute teacher and one was a stuntman. “We all had positive experiences. I got to work with professional dancers. My choreographer (Val Chmerkovskiy) is on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’” Zigmond, a 2017 Indiana University graduate, is a freelance writer.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 219 Park St., Westfield   What to get: Fried ravioli Price: $9 Anna’s take: Stepping into The Italian House on Park is like stepping into a restaurant in Tuscany. I’ve never been to Italy, but I imagine The Italian House on Park is what it would be like. Wooden shutters and soft red stucco walls create an enchanting, romantic atmosphere. I sampled several items, one of which is the restaurant’s most popular: Fried ravioli for $9. The dish is hand-rolled pasta with pockets of ricotta, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. The ravioli is dusted with chives and a Parmesan breading. The dish is served with a side of vodka sauce made in-house. I also sampled the Caesar salad, a great choice for only $6. Romaine wedges are adorned with fresh-grated Parmesan, sliced onions, house-made croutons and a Caesar dressing, all served on a chilled plate. My main course was lasagna ($16), a giant brick layered with beef, pork, sheets of pasta and cheese. It was soaked in red sauce (white sauce also is available) and was delightful and filling.

For dessert, try the tiramisu ($7), a portion as generous as the lasagna and just as delicious. With its soft lighting and beautiful interior, The Italian House on Park would be ideal for a Valentine’s Day dinner. Make reservations now before it’s too late. A fun fact: The Italian House on Park used to be a single-family home, and each family who has lived in the house has dined at the restaurant. Suggested pairings: To pair with the fried ravioli, order a bottle of Banfi la Pettegola Vermentino ($36). Pair a bottle of Santa Cristina Pinot Grigio ($33) with the Caesar salad, a bottle of the Carpineto Chianti ($52) with the lasagna and enjoy a glass of Cooper & Thief Red Wine Blend for dessert ($10).

Behind bars: Liquid Love Affair Get it at 1933 Lounge, Fishers Ingredients: 2 oz. Stoli vanilla vodka, 1 oz. pineapple juice, 1 oz. passionfruit puree, .5 oz. lemon juice, Champagne, orange peel Directions: Shake ingredients with ice, strain into a glass, top with champagne and add an orange peel as a garnish.

Reluctant word choice Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting Shakespeare’s birthplace Commentary by Don Knebel Every year, more than 2.5 million people visit Stratford-upon-Avon, about 100 miles northTRAVEL west of London, to honor William Shakespeare, who was born there and died there. While in town, they can experience the brilliance of his works. Stratford-upon-Avon, or simply Stratford, was a small village along the Avon River until 1196, when King Richard I granted it both a charter as a town and a charter allowing the new town to hold a weekly market. The market town soon attracted merchants and artisans, some of whom became wealthy and built large homes. No later than 1552, when he was fined for leaving rubbish on the street, John Shakespeare began renting a large house on Henley Street, part of which he used as a residence and part of which he used for his successful glove-making business. William Shakespeare, the third of John’s eight children, was born to his wife Mary in late April 1564, the exact day unknown. John purchased the house in 1574, and William lived there until he was 18,

when he married Anne Hathaway. William inherited the house from his father and rented it for use as the Maidenhead Inn. When Shakespeare died in Stratford in 1616 at age 52, the house passed to his daughter, and eventually passed outside Shakespeare’s family and fell into disrepair. With the support of Charles Dickens and others, the house was acquired in 1847 by a public trust, which restored the house to how it would have looked when Shakespeare lived there, complete with his father’s glove-making shop. Visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon can tour Shakespeare’s birthplace and the adjoining Shakespeare Center. They can visit Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare was baptized and is buried. They can then attend a production of the Royal Shakespeare Co., which produces works of Shakespeare and works of contemporary playwrights. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at editorial@youarecurrent.com.

Have you ever seen a picture of yourself from an unusual angle? Using the GRAMMAR GUY wrong word is kind of like that, even when it’s the trendy thing to do. Sometimes, we unknowingly use a popular buzzword regardless of whether or not we understand its meaning. I’d like to discuss a trend I’ve noticed when it comes to the use of the word “reticent.” People are starting to use reticent when they should be using “reluctant.” Let’s get it straight, shall we? Reluctant is an adjective that means unwilling to act. We get this English word from the Latin “re” (against) and “luctari” (to struggle or wrestle). So, reluctant literally means to struggle or wrestle against something. Here’s an example: Because Steve always took good care of his things, he was re-

luctant to spring for the AppleCare plan. Reticent is an adjective that means disinclined to speak. Breaking it down into the original Latin, we get “re” (in this case, “re” means “once more” or “again”) and “tacere” (be silent). Reticent, therefore, means “to be silent again.” We get the word “tacit” from this Latin word. Here’s an example: Since Sheila’s such a humble person, she’s reticent to comment on her recent promotion. I’ve heard someone say something to the effect of “I’m reticent to RSVP for Glen’s birthday party this year.” In this case, “reticent” is not the right word to use. Instead, stick with “reluctant.” Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer. Connect with him on Twitter (@curtishoneycutt) or at curtishoneycutt.com.
