ON THE WEBChristians across the world travel to Bethlehem this time of year to see the cave below the Church of the Nativity where tradition says Jesus was born.

Redistricting to balance schoolsBy Beth Taylor • [email protected]

On Dec. 15, the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board voted unanimously to approve the

recommended redistricting plan for grades K-8. Affecting roughly 2,600 students, the

revised boundary lines will be effective for the 2015-2016 school year.

A supporting recommendation from Interim School Superintendent William Carnes allows for students in third, fifth and seventh grade to complete the next grade at their current school. Parents of the “grandfathered” students will be responsible for providing transportation.

Residents of neighborhoods that have been affected by the redrawn school boundaries had three minutes to speak to the board.

“We are fortunate to have great schools in HSE. What is difficult is change. Some neighbor-hoods are asked to absorb change,” said Susan Collins of the Windermere East neighborhood. She requested that the board consider allowing fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-graders to remain at Fall

Creek intermediate. “I am continuously proud of the entire HSE

community. The level of partnership and engage-ment in the redistricting process was outstand-ing, over 7,000 responses. The members of the public in attendance at the board meeting last night were a part of that collection of feedback.

Redistricting is a comprehensive, challenging process. The board’s approval to ‘grandfather’ current third-, fifth- and seventh-graders is an example of HSE’s commitment to minimize the impact on students,” said Bev Smith, the director of school and community relations.

Two residents expressed gratitude to the board, recognizing how challenging redistricting is for all parties. Members of the board also spoke about their own experiences of having students affected by redistricting.

“I want to thank the community for providing a great deal of input. The feedback gleaned from the pubic sessions, coupled with technology, allowed HSE to make improvements until the recommended Preferred Redistricting Plan was released,” said Smith.

For Kim Haley, the Carmel’s Central Christian Church’s annual holiday party provides a unique

treat for her children.Each year the church, 1242 W.

136th St., holds a Mission Possible Christmas Party for the children and adults with special needs. Siblings are also welcome. This year’s party was held on Dec. 6.

“My kids look forward to the Mission Possible Christmas Party all year long,” said Haley, a Car-mel resident with three children. “It is an event where they can walk (and roll) into and be totally accepted and loved. This is the only place where my son can go see Santa and shop for a gift for Mom and Dad without them helping. All of the crafts and activities are adapted so that every child is able to participate. To be able to drop them off and not worry the whole time we are gone is an amazing Christmas gift.”

Steve Wooldridge, a Carmel resident and church member, has been volunteering for sev-eral years.

“Really the volunteers have as much fun as the kids,” Wooldridge said.

Tanya Barmore, a volunteer leader of the ministry and a Geist Elementary kindergarten teacher in Fishers, said the ministry has been going on for nine years. At this year’s party, more than 80 volunteers hosted 46 guests who played games, decorated gingerbread houses, shopped

Mission Possible Christmas party

for their parents at Santa’s Secret Shop, took a sleigh ride, visited Santa and enjoyed a Silly Sa-fari Animal Show.

“It’s a respite time for the families if they need to get out and do whatever they need to do,” said Barmore, a Carmel resident. “We have a lot of sin-gle moms that get out and a lot of them say this is the only time of the year they can get out.

There are games and snacks for the children. Each special needs guest has a buddy for the night.

“Our guests have ranged from infants to friends in their ‘50s that come join us,” Barmore said. “It’s for all ages and any kind of special needs they might have.”

The 2015 party dates will be posted soon at www.cccCarmel.org or you can reach Barmore at [email protected] for more information.

New Year’s resolution time is almost here and for those who want to stop smoking, vaping is a

popular alternative. Vapor shops are turning up in many cities, including Fishers, and these retail storefronts

usually sell all the necessary vaping equipment plus promote the practice.

Vaping is touted as being safer than tobacco and describes the experience of using atomizers, also known as e-cigarettes. Vapor Trails vapor shop at 8779 E. 116th St. in Fishers is one local place to find vaping accessories like atomizers, the heating coils and flavored liquids that makes the process work. Vapor Trails also provides a lounge where people can sit, socialize and vape. Customers must be at least 18 years old to enter the store.

Josh Lawyer, salesperson at Vapor Trails, confirmed that vaping is essentially a cigarette replacement. “Vaping weans people off nicotine,” he said. “It’s mostly smokers who vape but some people do it just for the enjoyment.”

How exactly does it work? The pen-style e-cigarettes have a coil inside that heats liquid (also known as juice) to the boiling point and that process produces vapors. The process mim-ics smoking and, over time, the nicotine content

Vaping is a smoking substitute

in the liquid is reduced from up to 24 milligrams to zero. “Vaping is the most successful smoking alternative there is because people still get to keep the hand-to-mouth habit and the exhale, only this process is healthier,” stated Lawyer.

Vapor Trails only sells liquids that are safely manufactured in America. Lawyer warned that people who buy liquids from an individual or from some overseas outlets may not receive a high quality or sterile product. Vapor Trails offers over 130 different liquid flavors and one of the most popular juice flavors at the shop is Bottle Rocket, which tastes like a red, white and blue popsicle.

Lawyer also stated that vaping is not known to lead to cigarette smoking. However, people who have successfully quit smoking cold-turkey may turn to the e-cigarette experience as an alterna-tive when they feel like picking up a real one.

A new Fishers-based business will soon offer firearms training to those of every skill

level: from beginners wanting the exciting experience of a shooting range to professional

preparation for police agencies. Poseidon Experience, a firearms academy set

to open in January, is a curriculum-based busi-ness designed to support firearms skills utilizing an indoor shooting simulator, according to owner Jesse Barnett, a retired Navy SEAL.

“Several people have expressed their anxiet-ies about, or inability to get proper training,” he said. “There are several sources for purchasing weapons and carry permits are easy to obtain with no requirements for training, which I feel is irresponsible. I feel many people are unaware of their limitations and make many assumptions about their abilities, or the legalities even. This could result in wrongful death, and homicide even. People are accidentally shooting them-selves or discharging due to a lack of training. I can offer tailored scenarios for judgment training not possible with traditional firearms courses.”

The 5,800 square foot facility at 9402 Uptown Dr. in Indianapolis will house two classrooms and 2,000 square feet of simulator space. Real weapons fitted with lasers and compressed CO2 are provided for use while training with no live

New firearms academy to openammunition.

“Because there is no cost of ammunition, ex-cept for advanced courses, I can allow (students) to shoot several hundreds of rounds, or the equivalent, in pursuit of real confidence,” Barnett said. In addition, the availability of the MILO range pro equipment “enables me to truly train folks to an effective proficiency level.”

Choices for services provided at Poseidon Experience include the following:• Experience - Access to the facility in

30-minute increments with coaching, video and use of available weapons and other equipment

• Academy - Basic, intermediate and ad-vanced level firearms courses; other cours-es coming soon are designed and facilitated by Barnett as well as ladies only classes

• Group events - The facility can tailor a corporate, team, church, club or other orga-nization event

Also offered are monthly ladies’ and men’s tournaments with prizes, and a rappel platform (a tool to teach technical skills associated with climbing.) Memberships are available for individu-als or families. Those who decide to sign up for courses prior to Jan. 10 will receive 30 percent off pre-opening discounts.

For more information, contact Jesse Barnett at 869-5996.

Changes for Fishers in 2015

PlAIN TAlk

Commentary by Larry Lannan

It is difficult to fathom just how much change is coming to Fishers government. Things had not

changed much when I began covering town council meet-ings in January, 2012.

At midnight on December 31, 2014, the Town of Fishers will go out of business. As of January 1, 2015, Fishers will emerge as a second-class city. That is a very big change.

As a town, as long as four of the seven mem-bers of the council agreed, the decision was made. Now, the city council will make decisions on issues such as overall budgets, ordinances and zoning issues. The mayor will be the chief executive and will run the city on a day-to-day basis.

State law created just one-year terms for the city officials elected in 2014, for the transition from a town to a city. They will all serve during calendar year 2015. In 2015, all Fishers city offices will once again be up for election, this time for the normal term of four years.

That creates the unusual situation of newly elected office holders needing to run for reelec-tion. They will be settling into their new jobs as the filing deadline looms to run for office in early 2015. The primary election will be held on May 5, 2015, a little more than five months after the

new city officials have taken office.It will take some time for the new city council

to organize itself. It will take some time for new mayor Scott Fadness to make his mark as the first mayor of Fishers.

In some ways there will be much change, but in other ways citizens of Fishers may not notice much difference. The same police officers and firefighters will be on duty. The same crews will be working on local streets and clearing the roads in winter storms.

The elected officials at the very top may be moving around a bit, but the people doing the day-to-day work for Fishers government will not be changing on January 1.

That’s the good news. Most of you will notice no change at all in how you relate to your mu-nicipal government.

Allow me to wish each and every one of you a blessed Christmas season and a happy New Year. We have seen a busy 2014 in Fishers. The new year is bound to be an eventful one for the new city of Fishers.

Former hockey player finds comfort in yoga – “My husband, Jonathan, played hockey. After much resistance, he now participates in regular practice as his primary form of exercise,” said Erin Smith. Jonathan was diagnosed with a sarcoma in August of 2014. As the fam-ily deals with challenges, yoga has remained a constant. “Jonathan’s positive attitude and optimistic outlook on life has never wavered, despite the challenges he faces. He is my hero. Watching him live fearlessly, with an open heart, has given me the courage to find my new role as owner of Flourish,” she said.

1. Awareness: Be super aware of your own health. Communicate questions and con-cerns to your yoga instructor as well as your doctor to see if hot yoga is right for you.

2. Water: Be well hydrated before attending a hot class. After class, drink liters and liters of water.

3. Breath: The added element of heat allows you to easily find your breath, improves your breathing and can even help condi-tions like asthma.

4. Heart: Literally and figuratively! Get the heart benefits of running a mile with no impact. The heat elevates the heart rate making the body work harder.

5. Embrace: Embracing the sweat is the se-cret to hot yoga!

By Beth Taylor • [email protected]

Erin Smith found a yoga community at Flour-ish Yoga + Wellbeing on the southeast side of

Fishers worth the drive from her Noblesville home. Instructor and owner

Amy Lin Thomas’ open-hearted nature helped to create a yoga studio where clients became extended family members. When Thomas decided to move to Hawaii to be closer to her mom, she looked to sell to someone who would love the community as much as she did.

With an interest in business ownership and a passion for yoga, Smith knew that this opportunity was the right fit. Thomas embraced the ideas for growth that Smith envisioned for Flourish; transi-tioning the business between friends was easy.

“I discovered yoga in 2000, and there weren’t as many studios as there are now, said Smith. I didn’t grow up in the yoga culture, but I felt like it was calling me. I started practicing Ashtanga and loved it,” said Erin Smith.

Learning yoga lead to finding balance for Smith. “It just allows me

to have the foundation of health to participate in my life to the fullest, whether that be playing with my kids, jumping on a trampoline or run-ning with my dog,” she said.

Smith explained that she feels calm and relaxed yet invigorated after practicing yoga. “I had so much energy that I felt that I could jump on top of a building,” said Smith. After years as a three-sport athlete, she enjoys the fresh feeling of a yoga workout without the abuse on the body. “On a physical level, yoga is a blend of cardiovascular training, strength training and

stretching. Yoga is low to no impact, and be-cause you use your own body weight, you can easily add or subtract intensity, reducing risk of injury,” she said.

As her personal journey with yoga continued, she found the benefits helpful in other ways.

“My father-in-law, who was very dear to me, passed almost 3 years ago. What I have learned on my yoga mat helped me through this pro-cess and helped me guide my family through in a healthy way. This experience gave me the courage to attend yoga teacher training, hoping to share with others how yoga has helped me through all phases of life,” she said.

Flourish offers several classes, including hot and warm Vinyasa yoga, Ashtanga yoga and gentle Hatha options as well as prenatal classes and yoga classes for kids.

“Many people are intrigued by the hot yoga, but it’s best to work up to it,” Smith said. The studio in the warm class is 85 to 90 degrees and is designed to help students get used to heat. For hot yoga, the room is set to 100 de-grees. “Heat makes your more body more flex-ible and also makes you more mentally flexible, as well,” she said.

Flourish offers a yoga basics class the first Saturday of each month. The introductory class

is designed to get new students acquainted with the poses and understand cueing. “We also offer private sessions but our goal is to get everyone in a group setting because that’s where you see the most benefit,” said Smith.

Smith envisions growing Flourish, but she plans to let it happen gradually. “I’m always talking to clients and staff so that they know they have a voice. I value the community here so much, so we’ll be growing together,” said Smith. She plans to grow the teacher training program as space allows.

Even Russia, has used quick serve as a ba-rometer of east-west detente. With glasnost came the first McDonalds in Moscow and the accompanying long lines (and good service) that one might expect. And now as Putin has thrown his people back a few decades, McDonalds has been banished from the would-be soviet-again capital to prove, one might guess, that they’d rather starve than eat a McNugget.

But for all the happy meals, pardon the refer-ence, amateur critique and international intrigue, drive-thru joints are a staple. A bell weather of our economy and, it seems, of geopolitical ten-sion, these establishments also are workplace to millions. With us ensconced in our vehicles and them sheathed in some monotonous cinder block building, it is easy to forget the humanity of the process.

Commentary by Terry Anker

The American drive-thru restaurant is a mod-ern marvel. Sure, we can criticize that it has contributed to the raging obesity epidemic or even that it can claim its share of impact on the decline of the traditional family dinner, but one cannot deny that it moves more tasty calories to more people more quickly than any mechanism here-to-fore imagined.

In our own home, food passed through a pick-up window is generally reserved for family trips. When we are collectively on the road for vacation or to visit relatives out-of-town, the usual aver-sion to eating in the car is relaxed. In fact, we of-ten start the adventure with a stop at the ubiq-uitous fast food joint at the interstate highway entrance before “officially” getting underway. Nothing inaugurates a long journey like lava-hot coffee and a potato product stamped into an oval puck. Over the years, my youngest son and I have taken an unofficial survey of french fries, measuring each based upon a plethora of factors from shape to shelf-life.

A happy meal

(With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore, who penned “A Visit from St. Nicholas” we offer this shortened parody.)

Twas two days night before Christmas, when all through the county The shopkeepers were tallying, counting their bounty. The stockings were stuffed with consumers’ good deeds, Now they’re looking for tax dough somewhere in the weeds.

Politicians were nestled quite smug in their beds, As thoughts of more spending raced in their heads. And Obama at the helm with Biden on his lap, Just staggered our minds with more useless (stuff).

When out in the streets there arose such a clatter, We hopped in the car to see what was the matter. In a matter of moments, we arrived to take in, The news that a Bush could be running again.

One side of the aisle sent forth a sigh, Because Hillary’s announcement soon would be nigh. So a nation divided we assume will be clear, And the election won’t come for a whole ‘nother year.

There’s but little time to change up this state, And a third party’s coming just might be too late. But we know the truth and it’s far out of sight, As America wonders, Is “Idol” on tonight?

So we sprang to our cars, to our crew gave a whistle, And straight to the bar we both flew like a missile. You might’ve heard us exclaim, ‘ere we drove out of sight, “Can someone right this ship and do it tonight?”

OK, maybe it’s a weak-humored Christ-mastime take on a classic, but our nation continues to be a horrid study in dysfunc-tion. From politics to social issues, and from special interests to pure vanity (and the vain know who they are), there is so much to clean up and accomplish. And so, here it is, our Christmas wish for you and us: We all need to give ourselves the gift of holding our leaders accountable, and that, we believe, ultimately will get our nation back on course. Meantime, we sincerely wish you and yours a wonderful, safe and restful holiday.

The reality is this is no dream

Wanderer, there is no path. The path is made by walking.

First up, the stupid Tooth Fairy. Maybe she’s super busy this month, or perhaps her nostalgia for the rockin’ eighties has led her to the liquor cabinet more frequently than usual, but she has really dropped the mistle-toe ball lately. My youngest lost a tooth two weeks ago, and we’re still waiting on Madame Tooth Fairy to make an appearance. I could have sworn I heard her the first night that little molar went under Maddie’s pillow, but three mornings later, my daughter was still complaining about her absence. And when I pointed out a stray dollar at the end of her bed as evidence that the TF had indeed paid a visit, Maddie declared that that particular buck was left over from her money-counting spree the day before. Come on! Why would the Tooth Fairy breaks a little girl’s heart like this? Especially at the holidays? I discussed the importance of the Tooth Fairy’s return out loud the other day with my husband, and I’m pretty sure she heard me, but Maddie contin-ues to proclaim that she has yet to receive cash. Either that TF is playing reindeer games or my daughter’s just discovered the definition of “embezzlement.”

Which brings me to my next controversial, supposedly joy-bringing seasonal visitor, Pick-leknuckle, our resident elf-on-the-shelf. When he arrived six years ago, he was super-cute and funny, and would always surprise us with his inventive hiding places. Each morning brought another mystery [“Where’s PK?”] and a sleigh of giggles [“Fishing in the toilet with Geoffrey’s toothbrush? Hilarious!”]. Now he’s about as exciting as Ebenezer Scrooge on a spending splurge. Sometimes he doesn’t even change his location! I won’t go so far as to call him a drunk, but a lot of wine does seem to be disappearing lately. And his eyes have taken on that glazed-over, elf-in-headlights kind of look. It’s almost as if he’s, shhh, not real. I know one thing, if Pickleknuckle doesn’t get his act together soon, he might be looking for a new family next Christmas, or worse yet, sent down to the minors where he’ll spend his golden years as an ornament. Yeah, I said it.

So Santa, if calling out your cohorts puts me on the “Not Nice” list, so be it. But perhaps you could pull off a little miracle of your own, and bring an extra three hours for every day in December. I know the Tooth Fairy and Picklek-nuckle (and parents everywhere) would greatly appreciate it! Peace out!

‘The Odd Couple’ hits the stage Dec. 27

THEATEr

By Sophie Pappas • [email protected]

Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre will premiere their rendition of the Neil Simon comedy

“The Odd Couple” on Dec. 27.The comedy, which celebrates

its 50th anniversary in 2015, will feature longtime Beef and Boards actors like Ed-die Curry as the uptight Felix Unger and Jeff Stockberger as the laid back Oscar Madison.

“The main thing that’s in-teresting is that everyone has worked with Beef and Boards before,” Curry said. “It’s just like playing basketball. [Jeff and I] know how to work off each other because we know what to expect from one another.”

Curry and Stockberger began their profes-sional and personal friendship in 1989, when

they met while performing outdoor theater shows in Texas. Stockberger eventually moved to New York while Curry joined Beef and Boards in Carmel, Ind. After September 11, 2001, Stockber-ger left New York to live in St. Louis. Once a job opened up at Beef and Boards, Curry was quick

to suggest Stockberger apply.“My unemployment had just run out,” Stock-

berger said. “There was certainly no work. I had [a moving] truck for six days, so I stopped and visited with my friend. [Beef and Boards] offered me a job. I worked as stage manager for four-and-a-half years.”

While Stockberger says the job gave him a deeper respect for behind-the-scenes theater

workers, he often ended up being thrown onstage for vari-ous roles, earning him a con-sistent acting job with Beef and Boards.

“The audience loves him,” Curry said. “He and I get paired

up in Martin Lewis-type roles. We have a pretty good time together.”

Despite a great sense of camaraderie, working at Beef and Boards requires a quick turnaround on rehearsal times and set design.

“Most theaters probably take three to four weeks for rehearsal, to sit down and discuss

the script. We don’t take time for that,” Curry said. “We’re looking for people who can do that process on their own. The actors will get about

six days of rehearsal before we start throwing costumes, lights and other set elements into the piece.

Curry says that the newly acquired rehearsal space for Beef and Board productions allows for a highly polished production.

“It makes me come in a lot more prepared than other people,” Stockberger said.

Both occasionally work for other theater groups, which they say afford them an often awkward amount of preparation.

“I get antsy now whenever I work some place where they have a longer process,” Curry

said. “I think ‘What are you going to do with all this time?’”

Both Curry and Stockberger hope to provide a classic, even nostalgic interpretation of

“The Odd Couple.”“‘The Odd Couple’ is just fun,” Curry said. “The

writing is a road map to the rhythm ofdelivery. I want to make sure you can hear

Neil Simon’s intended delivery. You have to re-gard Simon as one of the classic comedy writers of our time.”

The Odd Couple runs Dec. 27 through Feb. 8. For more information and ticket pricing, visit beefandboards.com.

Commentary by Jillian Albrecht

The first time I met Sylvia Gray, she was giving a free demonstration during the Second Saturday

Gallery Walk in the Art District. There in the space (which now proudly hosts the Hoosier Salon) I saw a plain, white,

silk scarf attached to something I assumed the Inquisition would have used to interrogate natu-ral fibers that were under suspicion.

However, Gray uses the contraption as an easel for painting silks, and I can assure you that no silks are harmed in the process. They are very much changed, though. I had the chance to watch Gray paint an entire scarf, while discuss-ing art, technique, different mediums and doting on her adorable pack of rescued dogs and cats. Her brushstrokes were as fluid as the gorgeous abstract she created.

“I try not to have expectations,” she said. “When I expect something, I’m usually disap-pointed. I have a vague idea of what I’d like to do, but I just have fun and go where it leads me.”

She makes it look so simple, but watching closely, I can see how deftly she mixes her dyes to tell stunning color stories that have obviously been developed by years of practice and experi-ence. Gray clearly loves to learn and expand.

“Recently I started doing figures,” she said. “When I began I always thought, ‘That’s what

definitely remind me of what I find so fantastic about Gray’s creations -their extreme versatility. Her silks could hang as beautifully on a wall, as they could around your neck. One scarf I admired in particular was priced at $40.

Local schools in the Indianapolis-metro area are reporting large numbers of student and

teacher absences, mostly as a result of the flu or a strain of pertussis, commonly known

as whooping cough, that has been confirmed by the Center for Disease Control to be making its way across the Midwest.

According to a report from St.Vincent Hospital, an average of 36,000 Americans die; and more than 200,000 are hospitalized from serious flu-related complications. At the same time, the CDC stated in a December Surveillance Trend Report that the number of whooping cough patients has slowly risen since 1990, with the last two years seeing a nearly 10 percent increase.

Noblesville Schools Spokeswoman Marnie Cooke said the district has not been notified of any confirmed cases of whooping cough, but that if they were they “have cleaning and com-munication procedures in place.”

Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Dr. Mark Keen also said his district is not dealing with any cases of whooping cough to their knowledge but the flu has seemed worse this year.

“We have had a higher than normal number of absences at a couple of schools,” he said, add-ing protocols are in place for a viral outbreak. “In every instance, our procedure is to work with the Hamilton County Health Dept. and follow whatever directions and procedures they give to us. They’re the experts.”

Dr. Tracey R. Ikerd, medical director of infection control at Riverview Health, said the hospital is not experiencing any specific outbreaks associ-ated with pertussis at this time. He added that Riverview Health has policies and protocols in place to protect patients and staff members from infection.

“If a patient arrives at a doctor’s office or the hospital with a cough, they should wear a mask,” he said. “The staff treating the patient is also instructed to wear a mask. If a patient has con-firmed pertussis, contact and droplet isolation precautions would be initiated; meaning anyone entering the patient’s room would wear a gown, gloves and a mask. In addition, hand hygiene

• Vaccination is the single best way to protect against the flu and pertussis. In addition, Indiana residents should follow the recom-mendations below to prevent the spread of illness:

• Stay home from work, school, travel and social gatherings for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or other necessities.

• Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds.

• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick.

• Disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick.

would be performed before and after patient contact.”

Apart from vaccination and encouraging booster shots for pertussis, one thing local hospitals, such as St.Vincent, are doing to pre-vent the spread of these illnesses is restricting visitors in hospital rooms and telling patients to stay home from school or work if they exhibit any signs of illness.

“By temporarily restricting visitors, we can help limit the spread of influenza, and continue to provide exceptional care to our patients,” stated Dr. Richard Fogel, chief clinical officer at St.Vincent.

Dr. Michael Tsangaris, pediatric pulmonolo-gist for Riley Children’s Specialists at IU Hospital North, encourages families with new babies at home to take extra precautions.

“Ask visitors if they’ve experienced a lingering cough that’s lasted for two or more months – this could be a sign of pertussis. For anyone who wants to hold the baby, insist that they wash their hands,” he said.

Although expectant mothers receive a TDaP booster as part of routine prenatal care, he en-courages new fathers to take the same preven-tative measure.

“Whooping cough doesn’t really have a season; exercise caution throughout the year,” he said.

It’s not quite a full family affair but it’s close.Ben Smith and his first cousin Josh are the

co-owners of Redemption Alewerks, which opened this week on 7035 E. 96th St. on

the northeast side of Indianapolis (near Fishers). The brewpub held an opening for family and friends on Dec. 19-20.

The idea came from Ben’s brother Brandon and Cameron Fila, who had worked together at Union Brewing Co., in Carmel. Fila was the head brewer and Brandon was assistant brewer and bartender at Union. Brandon will be the general manger and Cameron will be the brewmaster for Redemption Alewerks.

“Cameron and Brandon approached Josh and I with the opportunity (about a year ago) and we said ‘Absolutely, we’ll put money behind it and do the business side of things,’” said Ben, who is a sales broker.

Ben said he believes the thirst is there for more craft breweries.

“Indianapolis is a big small city,” Ben said. “We did a fair amount of market research. Michigan is the mecca of microbrews and brewpubs. We went up to Traverse City (Mich.) six to eight months ago to get a feel for what Cameron’s vision was for this place. Traverse City has seven brewpubs in a mile-and-a-half area downtown and it’s wall-to-wall people night and day.”

Redemption Alewerks opensBen said other microbreweries should just

increase awareness.“Cameron has been successful in this busi-

ness and Brandon has experience,” Josh said. “Knowing we had those guys behind to run the brewery. Obviously Brandon and Ben are family so I thought doing something with family would be fun. I think we have a good core group of people with good ideas and a unique concept for the area.”

The craft brewery, which has a seating capac-ity for about 120, plans to employ five bartenders and 25 waiters and waitresses.

Ben said Redemption Alewerks won’t brew on site until February when it’s license becomes active.

“We’ve guested brewed at other houses so we will have our brew just not on site,” Ben said. “We’ll have three staples when we open as well as other guest taps. Ultimately once we’re up and fully functional, we’ll have six staples.”

Ben said there are 16 tap lines so the craft brewery will have six staples and six seasonal rotations. “We have some guest taps devoted to cider and the rest will be guest taps from Indi-ana and Michigan,” he said.

There will be craft cocktails available as well. Brunch will be served on Saturday and Sunday.

“We’ll have a $12 to $13 entree to a $25 to $30 surf and turf,” Ben said of the dinner menu. “It will be a little higher quality than pub food. We won’t have the typical burgers and pizza.”

RESULT: “What we love most about the kitchen is the openness and the over-all look. We love to cook and entertain. We can now do both of those things at the same time because of the open layout and extra seating at the island.”

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING KITCHEN: Built in 1916, this home located in the Meridian Kessler area featured

many historical design elements including a maid’s quarters, butler’s pantry and a small

kitchen. “Our house has been in the family for three generations. The last renovation was done in 1950. The cabinets were in bad shape and the layout no longer functioned well in today’s world. We wanted to modernize the kitchen with clean lines and a gray color pallet and preserve the historical look to be consistent with the rest of our home.”

OPEN-CONCEPT: The walls separating the kitchen, butler’s pantry and maid’s quarters were removed to create one large open space. A new beam was installed to support the second floor. Two double hung windows with colonial lights replaced the existing doors and helps fill the room with natural light.

CABINETS & COUNTERTOPS: The shaker style of the gray perimeter cabinets is clean lined, while the traditional hardware adds to the historic look. The large island features maple cabinetry in an “Arctic White” finish topped with black pearl granite. The island features plenty of seating space which allows the homeowners to mingle with guests while cooking for large parties.

CLASSIC FINISHES: The backsplash features traditional 3-by-6 “Ice White” subway tile with a contrasting gray colored grout. A Kohler apron front sink was chosen for its classic look and ability to easily wash large pots and pans. “The flooring was one of the most important details considered during the design phase. The rest of the first floor is all original wide plank peg and groove hardwood and we wanted to continue that look into the kitchen.” New engineered wood flooring blends perfectly with the existing hardwood and is more cost effective.
