Plans proposed for Bear Creek Park By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com
BEAR TOWERS
Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is seeking feedback on three proposals for the development of Bear Creek Park on 27 acres at the southwest corner of 146th Street and Shelborne Road. DEVELOPMENT Park designers with consultant SmithGroup presented the proposals and gathered public input at a community meeting held Jan. 25 at West Park. CCPR and SmithGroup will continue accepting feedback on the proposals online at carmelclayparks.com/parks/bear-creek-park. A video of the presentation is available on the website. CCPR will use the feedback gathered to develop a master plan, which will be presented to the parks board for input and final approval. The final plan may include elements from more than one proposal. Each proposed plan features development in approximately 20 percent of the park with the rest remaining ecological areas. The following is a summary of the proposals: Bear Towers The Bear Towers proposal features two towers that would rise above the tree canopy. Accessible by ramps rather than stairs, the towers are inspired by historic fire towers in state and national parks and provide a bird’s eye view of the park. “How you see the site when you’re above the site is very different than when you’re in the site,” said Jacob Blue, a landscape architect at SmithGroup, adding that the towers could include flags or flashing mirrors for park guests to use to communicate between them. The Bear Towers plan includes a single large building with heating and air conditioning near the north end of the site. It also includes a play and spray area and could include zip lines or a high ropes course. A picnic area is proposed on the south end of the site. The creek that winds through the park would be largely unaltered in this proposal.
BRAIDED BEAR
Braided Bear The Braided Bear plan features a “squirrel’s eye” view, according to Gregg Calpino, SmithGroup principal, with elevated pathways winding through the tree canopy. It could include slides or zip lines between levels. It also includes the creation of braids and wetlands off of the creek, which could be explored by an expansive boardwalk system that allows guests to get near the water. Certain areas would be designated for creek stomping. The plan proposes several moderate- to small-sized conditioned buildings, creating a mini-campus rather than a single large facility. Wandering Bear The Wandering Bear proposal includes altering the creek to make it longer, which would lead to a more winding trail option compared to the other plans. Play areas, which could include hillside slides and natural climbing structures, could be placed in oxbows of the creek. Guests would be encouraged to venture into the creek to explore. Bathrooms are proposed on the north and south ends of the site, with the remaining facilities being open-air structures. It would not include a roadway connection through the park. A picnic grove is proposed on the southern portion of the site.

Reports of suspicious driver lead to heightened alert By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Police have been keeping a closer eye on several neighborhoods in southeast Carmel after receiving reports of an POLICE unknown man in a white Tesla interacting suspiciously with children playing outdoors Jan. 27 and speeding through the area. Tim Bowman, who lives in Briar Lane Estates, is thankful he happened to be looking out the window when he saw his 7- and 10-year-old sons approached by the man in the Tesla, which had stopped at the curb outside his home. He saw his son throw his football to the man in the car and then shake his head no three times before the man threw the football back and sped off. After Bowman rushed outside, the boys told him that the man had requested to see the football before asking if they’d be in a photo with him. When the 10-year-old refused, he asked him to send the little brother over, which he also refused. He also asked for their names, the boys said, but they did not provide them. As Bowman prepared to get in his car to attempt to locate the Tesla, the family saw it drive past again, this time at a high rate of speed. Bowman estimates it was traveling 70 mph. He described the driver as a Hispanic male in his late 20s or early 30s. Lt. Tim Byrne of the Carmel Police Dept.
confirmed that officers received multiple reports regarding an individual in a white Tesla acting suspicious in the area. He said these types of reports are not common in Carmel and that police always take them seriously, even though most times “they turn out to be nothing.” “Many times, when we’re able to locate the suspicious individual, we learn they’re either there for a legitimate reason and/or there was some sort of misunderstanding,” Byrne said. “Again, we never assume that’s the case when an incident like this is reported. We always err on the side of caution and safety for the kids involved because occasionally they do turn out to be legitimate complaints.” Byrne said police have not received reports about the Tesla beyond those reported Jan. 27 near 106th Street and Lakeshore Drive East. Bowman said he had not seen the Tesla before the incident and has not seen it again since. But as a precaution, he’s leaving the front door “wide open” when his kids are playing outside so they can quickly rush inside if the suspicious vehicle, or another one, stops nearby again. He encourages other parents to be aware of where their children are at all times. “I was fortunate to be staring out the window when it happened,” he said. “Talk to your kids, create a plan, make the kids aware this could happen.”

Carmel Clay Schools has released information on the fate of several books flagged by some community members as inappropriate at a school board EDUCATION meeting in July 2021. During the meeting, several people read excerpts from some of the books during the time allotted for public comment. Afterward, CCS Supt. Michael Beresford said the district would review the titles mentioned, calling some of the material read “completely inappropriate” for students and “not in line with our values here at Carmel Clay Schools.” According to information provided by CCS as a result of a public information request, many of the titles have been removed or moved either because they were not deemed a good fit for the ages of students in the building or because of a lack of interest in the books, meaning they hadn’t been “checked out in years or only quite minimally,” according to Emily Bauer, CCS director of community relations. Others were moved to a resource library, which can be accessed by teachers and parents, while another remains available to elementary school students. Two books weren’t found in CCS collections, according to CCS. The books reviewed in the middle schools and high school are: • “Crank” by Ellen Hopkins, removed based on age and lack of interest • “L8r, G8r” by Lauren Myracle, removed based on age and lack of interest • “The Infinite Moment of Us,” removed
based on age and lack of interest • “Doing It Right” by Bronwen Pardes, removed based on age and lack of interest • “It’s Perfectly Normal” by Robie H. Harris, 1994 copy removed based on age and lack of interest, 2014 copy moved to a resource library Books reviewed at the elementary school level are: • “Phoenix Goes to School” by Michelle Finch and Phoenix Finch, remains on the shelf • “Call Me Max” by Kyle Lukoff, moved to a resource library • “Introducing Teddy” by Jessica Walton, not found in any CCS libraries • “Sparkle Boy” by Leslea Newman, not found in any CCS libraries CCS formed an advisory committee to review the books. The committee included the district’s administrator of curriculum, instruction and assessment; the student services administrator; a secondary media representative; a secondary administrator; a classroom teacher representative; an elementary media representative; and CCS parents. None of the recommendations have been appealed, Bauer said. In November 2021, CCS launched a website for parents to provide information about the types of instructional materials used in the district, provide step-by-step instructions on how to view books checked out by their children and offer book reviews and a short synopsis of various titles available.

Junior standout powers FHS girls swim team By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com If experience counts for anything, and it often does at the IHSAA girls state swimming finals, JoJo Ramey has a lot to look forward to this postseason. A podium finisher in multiple state meet appearances, the Fishers High School junior is ranked No. 1 in the state in the 500-yard freestyle and No. 3 in the 200 free heading into the Feb. 11-12 state finals at the IU Natatorium on the IUPUI campus in Indianapolis. Barring a dramatic unforeseen circumstance, Ramey will not only reach the state finals, she’ll be a frontrunner for blue ribbons in her two individual events and two relays — the 400 freestyle and 200 medley. The Tigers’ relays are ranked Nos. 4 and 5, respectively, and are major reasons why FHS is ranked No. 2 in the state team poll. “I feel very confident in myself and my team,” said Ramey, a three-year varsity standout who will continue her career at the University of Florida. “We have been working extremely hard this season and we are looking forward to see how it pays off.

finished runners-up for the second consecutive time to national power Carmel at last year’s state meet and are again expected to make a strong showing. “JoJo is a leader by example. She establishes a level of excellence in and out of
the pool for all others to emulate,” Fishers coach Joe Keller said. “She has earned the highest level of respect from both teammates and competitors because of her humility and sincere regard for others’ success.” A lifelong swimmer, Ramey took her first swim lesson when she was 6 months old and has been training and competing — at a remarkably high level — ever since. “JoJo may very well be the hardest-training athlete I have coached over 31 years,” Keller said. “She may be the most competitive as well. She loves to race.” Heading into this season, Ramey had qualified for the state meet in eight events since her freshman year. Her best finish was runner-up in the 500 freestyle two years ago. Last year, she placed fourth in the 500 and 200 freestyles and was a member of the Tigers’ fifth-place 400 freestyle relay and seventh-place 200 medley relay. “My goals heading into the postseason are to enjoy every moment with my team,” Ramey said. “Also, I am preparing for International Trials in April, where I hopefully will get the chance to travel with Team USA to World Juniors.”

Indianapolis
Top Dentist
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In her prime as an Indiana University track and field athlete, Caitlin Engel Kochheiser stood just 5-footIN MEMORIAM 2 and weighed 107 pounds. “She was good at any sport,” said Chuck Engel, her father. “She had the hand and eye coordination. She had the balance. She had the foot speed. She had the intelligence where she knew what she was doing. She had the drive and determination. The only thing she lacked was a lot of size, but all those other things made up for that. She had a heart as big as you can get.” Although a good sport, Caitlin also hated to lose at anything. “But that’s what made her such a good fighter with this disease,” Engel said of his daughter’s cancer. “She out-survived what the doctors thought by many months. By May (2021), they thought she would make it to August or maybe her birthday, Oct. 15. She made it to Jan. 25.” Caitlin died Jan. 25 at age 32 of cancer that started in her appendix. “The world became a lesser place the day she died, and heaven is greatly enriched,” Engel said. “She was an absolute joy.” The Carmel resident was diagnosed with the rare cancer in July 2018. She had surgery and then underwent chemotherapy, starting in December 2018, and was declared cancer-free in May 2019. The cancer returned in late 2020. She had another surgery and underwent chemotherapy, but she decided to stop treatment when doctors felt it would do little good. She chose to make the most of her remaining time and married Brian Kochheiser in July 2021. Caitlin was a top athlete in track and field and soccer at Zionsville Community High School. She walked on at Indiana University, competing in cross country and track and field. She finished third in the steeplechase in the Big Ten Championships in 2011. After graduation, she became a wellness teacher at Clay Middle School in Carmel and became an assistant coach in girls track and field and boys cross country at Carmel High School. Greyhounds coach Aaron McRill said Caitlin’s positivity in handling her cancer battle served as an inspiration. “She was an elite athlete, but she nev-

er talked about herself,” McRill said. “She wasn’t the type of person to brag about what she did. She was more invested in the kids than herself. She had a great way of connecting with the girls. They looked at her as an older sister that knew a lot more than they did.” Sydney Haines, a 2020 CHS graduate, said all the girls on the track team gravitated toward Caitlin. “Coach Engel was the type of person that everyone wanted to be best friends with, and in fact everybody was,” she said. “She was always so great at keeping things upbeat and showing us that we are tough no matter what life throws at us. She still continued to help us with our struggles and be there for us even throughout her battle with cancer.” Anna Morozov, a 2018 CHS graduate and Purdue senior cross country and track competitor, said the life lessons Caitlin taught the girls had the most lasting impression. “She taught us to never take life too seriously and have no regrets,” Morozov said. Caitlin and Kochheiser were a romantic match from the start. They had their first date at the Indianapolis Zoo in October 2016. “From our first date, we really clicked,” Kochheiser said. “I knew she was special from the first date. I could tell she was one of if not the kindest person I ever met. It grew into a wonderful relationship.” Knowing Caitlin didn’t have long to live, the couple married on the beach in Marco Island, Fla., in July 2021. The wedding was put together in a short time. “She tried to fit in as much as we could and we did,” Kochheiser said. “We tried to take advantage of every day we could.” A celebration of life will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. March 5 at Laurel Hall in Indianapolis.

Retired CERT coordinator honored By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com Carmel resident Jon Baldwin received a Rampart Award on Jan. 24 at the Hamilton County Commissioners meetCOUNTY ing. The award is presented to those who have given generously of their time to make Hamilton County a better place for everyone. Recipients also display an attitude of teamwork, a generosity of spirit and a desire to tirelessly support and celebrate the people and communities of Hamilton County. Baldwin received the award for his dedication to the Hamilton County Emergency Response Team, or CERT. He has served as the CERT program coordinator the past nine years, retiring from the position in December 2021. He will continue working with the CERT training division and will become president of the nonprofit. “I was totally surprised and humbled by the award,” Baldwin said. Baldwin completed the FEMA CERT basic course in 2008 as a volunteer in the Indiana Guard Reserve. Later that year, he took the CERT Train-the-Trainer course and became certified to teach the basic course. “In January 2012, I helped the program coordinator teach only the fourth basic course given by that point,” Baldwin said. “Through 2012, I was the deputy program coordinator and vice president of the 501(c)(3) we created, i.e., Hamilton County CERT Services, to fund training for volunteers in the program. Late in 2012, he passed away and I became the program coordinator in early 2013.”

The program has grown significantly through four emergency management executive directors, Baldwin said. “From one local CERT team in Noblesville, to over 125 CERT volunteers equipped with public safety radios, other equipment and (were) integrated into several (emergency management) operations each year,” he said. “The county CERT program has taught over 300 volunteers, through 25 basic courses, since November 2010.” During his time with CERT, Baldwin has led and expanded 19 classes and presented numerous extra training sessions on a variety of topics, each involving emergency response situations.

After taking a few vacations together, four Carmel High School students created Unum Mundum, a nonGIVING BACK profit dedicated to helping less fortunate youth locally and internationally. CHS students Allison and Jackson Hu met Justine and Jewel Wang through their parents and discovered common interests. Their families were Allison Hu close, and they all became friends. About three years ago, the families donated items to friends in Nicaragua and had the idea to grow their passion for helping others. In its first year as an Jackson Hu official organization, Unum Mundum’s four founders created a Little Free Library and volunteered to help those in need in Indianapolis. They’ve also had the opportunity to travel and participate in cultural exchanges in unique places. Jewel Wang Unum Mundum is Latin for “one world.” The organization’s motto is “One World, Many Stories,” which was inspired by their travels and learning about what makes each person unique. Justine Wang Justine, a junior at CHS, is president of Unum Mundum. Jackson, a senior at CHS and the group’s first president, is starting his transition out of the organization as he prepares for college, but he is confident that the three others will successfully manage Unum Mundum. “(Unum Mundum) gave me perspective on what I can do to have an impact on the community, no matter where I am,” Jackson said. On a recent trip to Alaska, the four founders of Unum Mundum visited Ilisagvik College in Barrow, where they participated in a culture exchange with Iñupiat (native) youth. “The locals brought out some maktak Client/Filename:

(whale skin) for us to try,” Allison wrote in the trip recap blog. “It is half white and half black. The white is blubber and the black is the actual skin. Janelle explained to us that maktak warms you from the inside because of the blubber that keeps the whale warm.” Closer to home, the four students wanted to find a place in Indianapolis where they could donate items and help underprivileged children. When they learned about Coburn Place, a domestic violence shelter for women and children, they wanted to create a partnership. After donating basic items to the shelter, they wanted to do more. In April 2021, the four volunteered at a STEM fair that Coburn Place held for children. They enjoyed interacting with the children and the impact that they were having so much that they participated in another STEM fair in June 2021. They volunteered to take children from Coburn Place on a field trip to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum in July 2021. “For the future of our organization, we really want to establish a niche,” Justine said. “I personally want to give art classes to kids who probably wouldn’t be able to get them any other way.” As one of its local projects, Unum Mundum established a Little Free Library in Lizton. The group’s founders want to establish more Little Free Libraries in communities in need and encourage people to donate books or money. “We really want to put a Little Free Library in Nicaragua,” Justine said. To learn more about Unum Mundum and how to donate, visit unummundum.org.

Like many Americans, Lawrence resident Jeff Heck looks forward to watching curling during the Winter OlymTHINGS TO DO pics. After watching the ice sport during the Turin 2006 Winter Games, Heck said he was fascinated and called USA Curling to inquire about starting a club in Fishers. “Back then, stones were $1,000 apiece, and you needed 16 of them to be able to field two teams,” Heck said. “Also, you needed to find a place that would allow you to paint the houses on the ice and everything else that went with it. “So, I said, ‘Thanks’ and went on with life.” In 2007, Heck saw an ad promoting a learn-to-curl event at Pan Am Plaza in Indianapolis. He attended and became hooked. Circle City Curling Club was founded in 2007 by Butler University and the former Indiana World Skating Academy. Heck became president in 2008 and served in the role until 2010. Then, he was president again in 2013 and 2015. He also has been the club’s treasurer, vice president, league commissioner and been a board member. Now, he’s simply an active member. “We are a 501c3 nonprofit, and our mission is to promote and build the sport locally,” Heck said. “Right now, we rent ice time from the Fuel Tank in Fishers. Ice time is hard to come by, so we are only able to curl one night a week, which for us is Friday nights from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.” Because the Winter Games in Beijing start this month, Heck said the club has received a lot of attention and has had to adjust its Friday schedule. “We have our league play for our membership from 6:30 to 8:30, then in the last two-hour slot we’ve been offering learn to curl, which is an introduction to the sport,” Heck said. “When you attend a (learn to curl event), you will get some off-ice instruction/ history, followed by on-ice instruction and game play.” Heck said the club offers area residents the opportunity to learn how to play an unfamiliar sport that also boosts the local economy. “It offers local restaurants revenue because a big part of curling is something called ‘broomstacking,’” Heck said. “Basically, when we’re done playing, we go out for drinks and

food at a local establishment. If we run two leagues in one night, that means 60 to 75 people spending money in the local community. Curling is a very, very social sport. It also offers the opportunity to bring national and regional curling events to town.” Heck said the club’s players range in age from teenagers to players in their 80s. He said the sport is for everyone. “If you have issues with your knees or just can’t bend down to deliver a stone, you can use a delivery stick,” Heck said. “You stand, walk forward, and push the stone, a lot like a shuffleboard delivery. We also have wheelchair delivery sticks as well. It’s open to everyone.” Heck said the club’s main goal is to promote fun and possibly provide a club team an Olympic opportunity. “Since we are a USA Curling member club, we are part of the Great Lakes Curling Association. Our members can assemble teams to play in regional USA Curling championships as well as national events,” Heck said. “If four men or women assembled a team, or a man and woman for mixed doubles, and won the right tournaments, you can get to the Olympic Games from our club.” Circle City Curling is working on opening a facility in Anderson where it offer curling seven days a week instead of only on Fridays. “We found a space that is in our budget and will start construction and renovations soon,” Heck said.

Is anyone happy with their health insurance benefits?

O
f course not. It is confusing and expensive. It doesn’t even function like other insurance products. When was the last time you were excited to meet your auto or homeowner deductibles? Why is it such a massive headache each year? It is expensive. The price climbs for the same (or worse!) product year after year. Employer-sponsored benefits average over $20,000 per family. It isn’t useful. Even as you spend more each year on premiums, your deductible increases. This means using insurance plans is nearly impossible for most Americans. The majority of us don’t have

Celebrity men’s groomer brings expertise to new Carmel City Center shop By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com After several years in New York City, celebrity groomer Justin Virgil Gramelspacher wanted to return to Indiana with his young family and open his own barbershop. Gramelspacher had already picked out the perfect name for his new endeavor. “The name occurred to me years ago in an Uber to the Indy airport returning to NYC from a visit,” Gramelspacher said. “Magic Hat is meant to be kind of a fake benevolent secret society of guys that get it. If you’re here, you get it. It’s not for everyone, but all are welcome. A good haircut is like a magic hat. It can open doors and create opportunities. It’s life changing.” Magic Hat Barber Shop opened Aug. 31, 2021, in Carmel City Center, 885 Monon Green Blvd., Suite 101, in what Gramelspacher described as a soft opening. The official announced opening was last month. Gramelspacher, 41, spent the past 12-plus years in New York City. He attended barber school there and decided to stay to begin his career. “I worked with a lot of different agencies and private clients,” he said. “I worked for different barber shops as well. I was trained by Losi (who is known by her single name) and Martial Vivot, men’s grooming legends. I was a celebrity groomer, so I did a lot of red carpet and a lot of photo shoots for film and television. I worked at a high level in New York, but I was interested in moving back to Indiana for quite a while. Then COVID happened and I wasn’t able to work for months and months (because of lockdowns).” Gramelspacher said he and his wife made the decision to move to Westfield in July 2020. “We found the space around October (2020) and it was a shell,” he said. “It took a while to do the lease and build out the space.” Gramelspacher, who grew up in Jasper, and his wife, Jessica, have two children, Gus, 4, and Ruby, 2. He had previously lived in Fishers after high school when he was working on detailing cars and taking Vincennes University night classes at Lawrence North High School. He eventually
Gramelspacher is glad to focus primarily on being a barber at his new shop. “For guys, makeup isn’t a big part of it. It’s a very little part of it. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore,” he said. “I prefer haircuts, shaves and beards.” ON THE COVER: Justin Virgil Gramelspacher gives a haircut at Magic Hat Barber Shop in Carmel.

graduated from the University of Southern Indiana. “My wife is from Westchester in New York, but she absolutely loves it here,” Gramelspacher said. Gramelspacher said he has been coming to Westfield for nearly 20 years to visit his sister, Stacey Willis. Her husband, Scott Willis, is on the Westfield City Council. One thing Gramelspacher is proud of is that he has cut hair for Formula One drivers, executives and TV announcers. He has worked for Disney, Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Ralph Lauren and Cartier. “I’ve groomed country music artists for Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers,” Gramelspacher said. “I groomed Neil Patrick Harris when he hosted the Tonys. I’ve given Jake Gyllenhaal a beard trim. I shaved Spike Lee every two weeks for two years. He was a regular customer of mine.” A huge New York Knicks fan, Lee and former Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller famously traded trash talk through the years. “I didn’t mention I was a Pacers fan,” Gramelspacher said. “He was a lovely guy, though. We just didn’t talk basketball very
much.” He has served as an expert for Men’s Health, Vogue, GQ, Men’s Journal and the Wall Street Journal. “They want to know trends on hair styles and shaves and how to trim beards,” he said. Gramelspacher has been a guest barber in places such as Sweden and Japan. He said he is always eager to work with anyone who is serious about their grooming. “A lot of my work was with top-of-theprofession guys in New York, whether it be chefs, artists, editors, journalists, financiers, lawyers and doctors,” he said. Before he left New York, he was with Blind Barber. “When I wasn’t doing agency or celebrity work, I was just at the barber shop working behind the chair like a regular barber,” he said. Among others Gramelspacher has worked with is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. “For Dwayne Johnson, it was just a little powder for the shine and a little makeup. I didn’t actually cut his hair,” Gramelspacher said.
Justin Virgil Gramelspacher is pleased with how business in Carmel has gone so far. “It’s been fantastic,” he said. “This area is really great. It’s really vibrant. There are a lot of things that are happening that I wasn’t aware about that I’m finding out.” Gramelspacher said the shop only has two chairs and there is an opportunity to add a third chair in the future. He expects to hire another barber soon. His wife, Jessica, works in the fashion industry and is working with Nike, supporting its partnership with Finish Line. Haircuts are priced at $40 to $75 and beard trims are $25. Magic Hat is appointment-based with walk-ins subject to availability. Adam Miller, who now lives in Atlanta, had been going to Gramelspacher for eight years in New York before he moved. “I got married in October (2021) and I flew Into Indiana to get my hair cut by him two weeks before the wedding,” Miller said. “He does my hair and beard. He’s incredible. He’s by far the best hair stylist I’ve had. During COVID, I went to Louisiana and three of the most expensive salons I could find and no one comes close to him.”The shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed Sunday and Monday.

ESSAY
HUMOR
To each his own?
Perfecting imperfect parenting
Commentary by Terry Anker The cliché goes that possession is nine-tenths of the law. Essentially, it reinforces the playground rule that whoever has — and can defend — the swing gets to keep it for all recess. Who “owned” it before and those waiting in line to use it after are at a distinct disadvantage to the one who is in the seat. Short of physical altercation where the stronger would displace the current holder, others dispossessed of the swing are left to appeal to a higher authority to resolve the dispute. “Teacher, Johnny won’t share the swing. He’s used it long enough. Make him share!” As we matriculate from childhood in pursuit of something that looks like adult lives, we leave behind the short pants but carry along much of this deeply imbued sensibility of possession. Our homes are our homes. Our businesses belong to us. Our communities are defined by us living there. As we move from the more tangible, the connection to custody becomes less clear. If a bank holds a mortgage on our homes, do we really own it? If a tax authority makes a claim against it, should they demand an interest? If we found and build a business with our own cash and labor, it is ours. But what if the entrepreneur takes investors? Is it her company any longer? Can she raise her salary assured that she answers to no other? Nonprofits are often administered by leaders decades into the job but demand term limits to keep boards fresh. Healthy buy-in can rot into a confused sense of controlling ownership. If we are the fiduciaries, can they be the sole decision makers? Englishman J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, “It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious.” Still, if others have a legitimate interest, does the possessor necessarily prevail?

Let’s get real. I’m not a perfect mother, but I do think I did a fairly decent job of co-raising our four mostly grown children. To my knowledge, no one has been incarcerated, therapy has been minimal and gainful employment is within reach for all. For whatever reason, though, my heirs truly enjoy harping on my shortcomings as a parent. No Mom of the Year here, apparently. Their main complaint is that I failed to model a healthy way to deal with hard emotions, which is absolutely true. In the grand tradition of the English, I generally suppress my feelings until I can bawl like a baby in private. And because my little darlings never saw me cry, they don’t know how to appropriately express sadness or grief. Fair enough, but that is what trained psychologists are for. Get over it. A newer jab, stemming primarily from my highly extraverted first daughter, is that I don’t attend to their needs as social beings. Basically, because I don’t shower her with hugs and back scratches and other physical signs of affection at every waking moment, I don’t love her. That seems a bit harsh, and in my defense, I’m an introvert who works full time with hundreds of often-dramatic teenagers. I don’t have it within me to snuggle a bottle of cabernet at the end of the day, let alone a chatty Cathy girlchild. No matter. In her opinion, it’s another strike against my would-be claim to maternal glory. Whatevs. I’m not perfect. No parent is. But generally speaking, my kids turned out fine. That’s got to be worth a Mother of the Month, right? Peace out.

I want to give much-deserved accolades to the Carmel Police Dept. for a job well done. (A few weeks ago), we heard a banging noise in our backyard and realized that a deer was caught on our neighbor’s fence. The poor buck got its leg pierced while jumping the 6-foot metal fence and was caught. We called the non-emergency CPD phone number, and multiple CPD officers responded. Although this could have turned into a sad situation, the officers were committed to giving it their best efforts to rescue the animal. After about 40 minutes and multiple tactics, the deer was freed and jumped two more fences to run away. Thank you to CPD for working so hard to achieve a positive outcome. You provided a wonderful example of public service for my children who were watching. We appreciate you. Jason and Michelle Krcmery, Carmel

Palladium’s policy plays on fears Editor, It is with sadness that I read the articles in the Current issue Jan. 25 regarding the Palladium’s policy on vaccine proof and masks. Those who support this policy need to understand the vaccine will not prevent COVID-19 and neither will the mask. If you are that concerned, I would suggest you stay home. I did cancel my tickets because I will not be coerced by individuals who lack common sense. The media and politicians want to control our lives, and by exerting fear is one way they can succeed. If we allow these rules, which Hamilton
County and others are not implementing, where does it stop? Another astonishing item is the same people who demand vaccine proof and masks will not support voter ID. America is in turmoil because many educated people lack intelligence and common sense. We can all work together, but we cannot let fear, power-hungry politicians and people in authority dictate what we all deep down know is not correct. We are still a free country. Please do not give that gift away so easily. Skip Russell, Carmel
Keep school boards nonpartisan Editor, Indiana House Bill 1182 proposes to make school board elections partisan, indicating on the ballot whether candidates are Republican, Democrat or independent. The bill’s author, (State) Rep. J.D. Prescott, has been quoted stating that knowing a school board candidate’s political party could “tell the difference between financial responsibility and moral character, in some cases.” I’m familiar with the stereotype that Democrats are “tax and spend,” which he is apparently promoting with his “financial
responsibility” comment. I was, however, quite surprised that he feels political party affiliation denotes “in some cases” moral character. I believe that school board elections should be focused on individual candidate qualifications (and character) and not on political party affiliation stereotypes and generalizations. The bias shown in Rep. Prescott’s quote supports why HB 1182, and similar bills, should fail. Stephen Ring, Carmel

Indiana needs a climate action plan Editor, Glance out your living room window and you will see stronger winds, more severe storms and warmer, less snowy winter days. The effects of climate change are all around us. To address mitigation and adaptation to our changing conditions, State Sen. Ron Alting introduced Senate Bill 255. This bill would create a bipartisan task force to develop a climate action plan by Nov. 1. The plan could include actions to address public health concerns, agricultural adaptations, citizen education and economic development.
Thirty-four states have developed climate action plans, including Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and Kentucky. Zionsville and Indianapolis have implemented them, and Carmel is developing a plan. Your help is needed. Because the state legislature is scheduled to adjourn in midMarch, time is short. Please contact Senators Mark Messmer (Senator.Messmer@ iga.in.gov) and Scott Baldwin (Senator.Baldwin@iga.in.gov) and ask them to support and advance SB 255.

HB 1134 says more about adults than children Editor, I am writing regarding the future of House Bill 1134 as it moves to the Senate for consideration in the Indiana General Assembly. I taught social studies for over a decade in Carmel Clay Schools. We proudly live in this community, and we send our children to CCS schools. I worry deeply about the impact this legislation will have on not only our students, but our community. Proponents of this bill are attempting to solve a problem that, much to my understanding, has no proof of widespread existence. It assumes that our children are fragile, so unable to critically think, examine and consider information that they must be shielded from anything that may be unsettling. Life is full of unexpected obstacles, diverse viewpoints and opinions, and circumstances that will not always align with our preferences. To pretend otherwise is a disservice to our children. The passage of this legislation has the potential to limit so severely what is taught in our schools that it will not be without
consequences. The language of this bill has the very real potential to rob our students of the ability to explore a variety of viewpoints and experiences. Exposure to both in a school setting is critical to help them formulate their own personal worldviews and opinions. This then helps them develop into wholly capable, intelligent, informed and confident adults. As I have followed this legislation, and various other movements of the last few years, I have concluded that this isn’t really about the education of our children. In fact, I believe the current debate says more about us as adults than it does about our children. In a culture that has become seemingly intolerant to the nuance and complexity of positions, viewpoints and opinions, I wonder, what type of future are we creating for our children? Do we really want them to believe that every encounter with a viewpoint or life experience that is different from our own understanding is a zero-sum contest? Alicia Noneman, Carmel

Spend Valentine's Weekend with Ballet INitiative!
Who’s got my back? And my neck and shoulders? Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
February 12th at 7 pm The Toby at Newfields Tickets available at QR code and www.balletinitiative.org
I’m a lucky guy. I have three great physical therapists. Anna, Bri and Don work on my neck, shoulders and arm, HUMOR and Eva helps me perform a certain exercise that I wrote about in a column a few years ago. Now, I’m back for a second round of treatment. I’m glad it’s not literally a round. It’s embarrassing enough already, but I can’t imagine someone ringing a bell when we finish. Ding, ding, ding! More on this later. My orthopedist had previously ordered an X-ray and an MRI on my shoulder for injuries I received from a bad fall when I was out jogging a few months ago. These were just a few of the notes from the radiologist who read my results: “The coracoid process is intact. The coracoclavicular ligaments are intact. The humeral head and bony glenoid are intact. The infraspinatus and teres minor are intact. Visualized portions of the chest wall appear grossly intact.” I have never been considered a person with any tact, so this all came as good news.
Now, here’s the bad news I read: Patient has edematous capsular thickening at the IGHL and rotator interval most consistent with adhesive capsulitis. Supraspinatus tendinosis with a partial intrasubstance tear at the far anterior. “Could you translate that into English?” I asked my bone doc during the follow-up appointment.
I tried to do everything simultaneously while watching TV. I was stretching my upper body, twisting my neck from side to side and pulling up on an elastic band held under my foot — all while doing Kegels. “Well, Dick, you’re 75. That pretty much explains everything. Everyone has most of those issues at your age — if they reach your age.” Now, back to Eva. She’s in charge of getting my pelvic floor back in shape, since those muscles were weakened because of a surgery several years ago. Men might want to question Siri or Alexa about Kegeling. Every woman knows what it is.
Eva’s a tiny thing, but by just working on me for a month, my pelvic floor is getting back to its original condition. By comparison, last winter it took three big men with a giant electric sander to get our dining room floor back in good shape. I have exercises to do at home for my arm and shoulder, as well as doing my Kegel maneuvers. I never have enough time to do all these routines, so last night I tried to do everything simultaneously while watching TV. I was stretching my upper body, twisting my neck from side to side and pulling up on an elastic band held under my foot — all while doing Kegels. I must have looked odd because Mary Ellen thought I was developing a terrible neuromuscular disorder. Last week, Eva wasn’t around, so I asked Anna a question about Kegels. Anna didn’t train for that specialty, and she told me, “Sorry, Dick, that’s a little over my head.” “Then you are doing it all wrong,” I told her.

Partnership’s 1st mural debuts at Marathon Health By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Marathon Health and GANGGANG, a cultural development firm, have partnered on public art projects in MarGANGGANG athon Health centers in six cities. The first mural debuted in the Marathon Health office in The Olivia on 1111 Main St. in Carmel. Indianapolis-based GANGGANG has set a goal that 75 percent of artists in every project will be of color to create equity in the arts. “We’re excited about being able to promote the power of the arts across different industries,” GANGGANG co-founder and Executive Director Mali Jeffers said. “When the arts and health care come together, we can tell a story about how hiring artists can contribute to the mental health of the public, visitors and patients that are going through the tough time that is bringing them to the health center. It’s really nice on our end to be able to pay an artist at a time when they are not getting a lot of jobs and a lot of opportunities due to the pandemic. It’s nice to be able to engage a local artist. Indianapolis resident Amiah Mims, also a digital illustrator, painted the mural. “Her design is being duplicated across all Indiana (Marathon) health centers,” Jeffers said. “She just became a full-time artist in 2021. We were introduced to Amiah in the summer of 2020. She was one of the artists who (worked on) the Black Lives Matter street mural on Indiana Avenue in downtown Indianapolis. We discovered her there,

and she is phenomenal.” Jeffers said the objective of the mural was to create for patients and staff “a feeling they were strong and resilient and that they can handle this but also offer them calm and smoothness.” Jeffers said GANGGANG will seek artists in the cities where the centers are located. The other cities are Columbus, Ohio, Cincinnati, Charlotte, N.C., Orlando, Fla., and Las Vegas. “We wanted our health centers to be a comfortable and inviting place for our patients to come. That certainly is a priority,” Marathon Health Chief Marketing Officer Shelly Towns said. “We are big believers in art as a representation of balance between (the) mind and physical and mental health. We were really impressed by GANGGANG and some of the work they’ve done, certainly in Indy. They’ve had such a great impact on the community. We reached out to them and came up with the mural idea.” For more, visit ganggangculture.com.

City’s unemployment rate drops — The Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development released labor statistics for cities, towns and counties in Indiana this week, and Carmel once again saw a drop in the its unemployment rate. The rate for December 2021, was 0.7 percent, which is lower than November’s 1.2 percent and October’s 1.6 percent. The state’s unemployment rate is 2.7 percent, while the national rate is 3.9 percent, both of which are seasonally adjusted.

Like many people across the U.S., Amber Blakley lost her job during the COVID-19 pandemic. But instead of sulking, NEW BIZ the Westfield resident embraced it as an opportunity. Blakley, 35, used the time to create a gift-wrapping business. The unique venture was an immediate success, and she now wraps gifts year-round. “I actually first learned gift-wrapping skills and caught the bug of gift wrapping during my time in the Hamilton County 4-H program,” said Blakley, who participated in 4-H for 10 years. “I did gift-wrapping projects for nine of those 10 years. That’s where I learned the foundation of everything.” Blakley, who worked for a nonprofit before losing her job, wanted to apply skills she already had and be home with her daughter. “So, that’s when I started offering custom gift-wrapping services, right in time for the holidays of 2020,” Blakley said. “I got a good amount of business that year just getting started and trying it out. Ever since then, I’ve been offering it year-round for all sorts of occasions.” Blakley wraps thank-you gifts for teachers and birthdays and even offers services for corporate orders. “One of the biggest surprises is, I’ve been asked to wrap lots of empty boxes for people to use as décor for holidays or birthday parties or even elementary school classrooms,” Blakley said. Blakley has wrapped custom items, too, including a 3-foot-tall gift box to resemble a pineapple. Sheridan Elementary School third-grade teacher Nina Lechner wanted a flamingo and pineapple theme for her classroom. “She wanted a giant pineapple, so I got a huge box and wrapped it to look like a pineapple,” Blakley said. Lechner appreciated the box. “It makes a statement in our classroom,” Lechner said. “It brings joy to the kids and staff alike. It has become a conversation piece, for sure.” Blakley operates her business from her home, but she also wraps gifts at the Indiana Artisan shop in Carmel. She wraps gifts for customers who purchase items at the store.

Although Christmas is Blakley’s busiest time of year, Valentine’s Day is a close second. “I would also be happy to build more business throughout the whole year,” Blakley said. “There are tons of occasions throughout the year and not just holidays people need gifts wrapped for.” Blakley is also a seamstress and sometimes uses a sewing machine to sew pouches for certain gifts, such as gift cards or money. “One thing I’d like to offer this year for graduation gifts for Westfield students is sewing a gift card into the shape of a Shamrock,” she said. “Part of what I love about this is, if somebody has a certain idea in mind, I love the challenge of being given that idea and making it happen.” For Valentine’s Day, Blakley said wine bottles are popular gifts, which she wraps in a “fun way.” “A lot of people say (the gifts) are too pretty to open, but I view it as two gifts in one — the gift inside but also the experience of opening the gift,” Blakley said. “That can create a really special moment for the gift recipient. No, it’s not too pretty to open. It’s an extra gift there for you, and the giver saw you as a special person and wanted to do this extra step for you because you’re special to them.” Blakley plans to offer gift-wrapping workshops this year for people to learn gift-wrapping skills. Blakley’s husband, Kyle, is an engineer. They have two daughters, Annabelle and Madeline. Blakley said she doesn’t wrap her own gifts. Although Kyle doesn’t use her tips, he is “very good” at wrapping.

Is there a cure for inflation? Commentary by Ryan C. Fuhrmann In the business section of your newspaper, you might have caught some scary headlines about inflation. ECONOMY Some say we’re seeing the highest inflation rate in 39 years, or that inflation is “skyrocketing,” or “outrageous” right now. But is it really “out of control?” High and persistent inflation would definitely do damage to your portfolio. Inflation is the loss of purchasing power of your money. If inflation ran 10 percent annually, within 10 years the money in your bank account would be essentially worthless. Two camps are debating if high inflation is here to stay. You can count me in team transitory, which is to say high inflation is temporary and due to trying to shutter parts of the economy and stop coronavirus. The resulting supply disruptions have caused acute shortages in semiconductor chips, windows and related supplies to build homes, and even toilet paper (though that was more of a demand issue). Government spending is also out of control and is fanning the flames of inflation, but let’s not
get started on that subject. The Federal Reserve can raise interest rates to slow inflation. The “Fed” will likely raise rates this year. Short-term interest could soon return to 1 percent. This still isn’t much interest in a checking account (and still a negative real return), but it’s definitely better than close to 0 percent.” I’ve been surprised that gold hasn’t rallied more because of inflation fears. It is traditionally known as an investment that can “hedge” inflation risk. It’s also known as fear hedge, or a haven investment in times of uncertainty. An even better place to park your money is in high-quality blue-chip stocks. These are global, well diversified and can pass along modest cost rises to customers. Apple, Nike and Verizon come to mind. Don’t worry about inflation — a modest amount is even good for the economy. Ryan C. Fuhrmann, CFA, is an investment manager based in Carmel. He would like to hear what your view on inflation is at ryan@ fuhrmanncapital.com or visit his website at fuhrmanncapital.com.

Foot pain and heart disease Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Since February is American Heart Month, it’s a good time to talk PODIATRY about peripheral artery disease, or PAD. FOOT SIGNALS
thesixpence.com | 4400 n. 1000 e. whitestown, in 46075 | (317) 296-8200
Have you ever started walking and noticed that your feet or legs hurt? You might have chalked it up to bad shoes or overdoing it on exercise. With PAD, your lower extremities don’t get enough oxygen. So, walking or exercising may be painful. But what’s the reason your legs aren’t getting that oxygen? Atherosclerosis — a buildup of plaque inside your arteries—triggers PAD and raises your risk for serious cardiovascular conditions, such as heart attacks or strokes. When plaque builds on your artery walls, it makes it harder for oxygen-rich blood to travel from your heart to the rest of your body, especially from the legs and feet. DIAGNOSING PAD Not all foot pain is a sign of PAD. But if the pain shows up when you move, and disappears when you rest, it’s worth discuss-

ing. You may lose hair in the spots where your feet or legs hurt. And the pain could be joined by a numb or cold feeling, as well as by changes in skin color. If you’ve noticed any of these PAD warning signs, you should tell your podiatrist right away. There are easy, non-invasive tests, like the ankle-brachial index, that detect PAD. TREATING PAD Simple changes like quitting smoking, reducing your alcohol intake and choosing a healthier diet can make a big difference. It’s also important to get more exercise with PAD. While symptoms may worsen when you are exercising, with time you’ll be able to walk longer with less pain. Finally, some individuals with PAD need medication or medical interventions, but a specialist can help with those decisions.

Reading of ‘Mr. Confidential’ set for Feb. 12 By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Samuel Garza Bernstein’s dream of bringing “Mr. Confidential” to the stage is another step closer. MUSICAL Actors Theatre of Indiana Lab Series will present a reading of “Mr. Confidential,” a musical, at 2 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Studio Theater at the center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Bernstein wrote the Bernstein musical’s book and lyrics, adapted from a 2007 nonfiction book he wrote about Confidential magazine and the family that created it. David Snyder wrote the music. The magazine was founded by Bob Harrison. Bernstein started developing the musical in 2012. “All the things that are most unbelievable are completely true,” Bernstein said. “What I’ve played around with is the timelines to put a narrative together. Let’s say I made Bob a little more of a romantic than perhaps he was in life.” Bernstein said Confidential magazine was extremely popular back in its day. “It was outselling TV Guide and Time magazine at its height in the 1950s,” said Bernstein, who has worked in the television and film industry most of his career. The magazine (1952-58) centered on Hollywood, Broadway and Washington news but eventually became more and about Hollywood, Bernstein said. “All of the juicy stuff was all true,” Bernstein said. “They never lost a lawsuit. There were silly stories like Frank Sinatra is the Tarzan of the boudoir because he eats Wheaties between lovemaking sessions. He did eat Wheaties and he did eat them between having sex, so it was kind of true. What you get is the silliness of Wheaties are what powered his sexual prowess. If they said Gary Cooper was having an affair with Anita Ekberg, he was having an affair with Anita Ekberg.” Bernstein got interested because he knew a woman called the Duchess of Dirt. “I knew her life as a Beverly Hills social-
and announced he would no longer publish stories about Hollywood stars’ private lives. Bernstein said there was an impression that the magazine destroyed people’s lives and careers. “The more that I looked at it, this small tight-knit family became a juggernaut,” he said. “There was very little darkness.” Bernstein acquired every single magazine on eBay and read every article. “They were very funny and light,” Bernstein said. “The mindset was the stars are beautiful, rich, and famous, of course they misbehave. Wouldn’t you? I didn’t condemn anyone. It didn’t condemn anybody.” Bernstein said he couldn’t find anyone Confidential was a popular magazine in the 1950s.

Play’s message still resonates By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Although the play “Our Town” is more than 80 years old, Carmel High School senior Kaylyn THEATER Johnson is convinced it is still relevant today. CHS was scheduled to present “Our Town” Feb. 3-5 at Creekside Middle School. It is a three-act Johnson play by Thornton Wilder about the lives of the citizens in the fictional small town of Grover’s Corners between 1901 and 1913. Johnson played Emily Webb. “The story and theme are even applicable today, which is really unique,” Johnson said. “Playing Emily has been inspiring to me because the message of the show is, do any human beings appreciate life when they are living it? It’s allowed me to take a look at my life and enjoy the moments when I can. This is my senior year, and Emily died so young that she didn’t get to do a lot of things I want to do with my life, so that’s
making me reflect and making sure I’m living life to the fullest while I’m here.” After her death, Emily gets a chance to return to life and relive it. “It’s incredibly overwhelming for her because she realized when she lived that (period) for the first time in her life, she wasn’t really noticing all the small details,” Johnson said. “She wasn’t appreciating every moment.” Johnson said smartWarf phones and social media have created a similar environment today. “We sort of get stuck up on, does this person like me or how many likes or followers do I have?” Johnson said. “We don’t really live our lives as ourselves.” Senior Sarah Warf played the role of the stage manager, who narrates the show. “Throughout the show, I address the audience and break that fourth wall,” Warf said. “This is incredibly unique because it’s the first time I’m not playing a character and I get to assess everyone else’s character. I’m saying lines from the script but I’m saying them as myself.
Ballet INitiative to debut “INdy” By Chris Bavender editorial@youarecurrent.com Ballet INitiative will present a world premiere performance of “INdy” at 7 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Tobias Theatre at DANCE Newfields in Indianapolis. There will be only one performance. The show is a collaboration of local composers, choreographers, dance companies, visual artists, and photographers to create a dance show showcasing the Indianapolis arts community. “We wanted to have a performance celebrating the local Indianapolis arts community that has supported us ever since we started back in August 2020,” said Ola Tarnowski, marketing and public relations director for Ballet INitiative. “There was no better way in our eyes to do so other than giving the arts community complete artistic free range in a performance. We told our choreographers and composers they could create anything that inspires them, and us and our dancers will bring their ideas to life. “Along the way, we felt it would be even better to include as many local artists of all different medias, (such as) musicians,
visual artists, photographers, other dance companies, to create an entire community of artists in one performance.” Tarnowski said attendees will see lots of variety at the show. “They’ll see all different styles of dance, from ballet and jazz to modern and contemporary,” Tarnowski said. “Along with our dancing, they’ll also see never-before-performed, brand new pieces created just for us, and (have) the ability to hear and see all different kinds of art in just one show — the art, the brand-new music compositions, the photography. “Lastly, they’ll see our deep connection with each other and the love we have for not only our art form, but the art of the city we are so proud to call home.” The performance will be Ballet INitiative’s debut at the Tobias Theatre. “This is our first performance in a largescale theater as an organization,” Tarnowski said. “As we’ve grown in interest and support in the last 18 months, we are filled with hope as we enter the larger-performance scene of Indianapolis. We’re so proud and excited of all our artists’ hard work. For more, visit balletinitiative.org. Untitled-1 1

Show pays tribute to Piaf By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com French vocalist Nathalie Lhermitte is a natural fit to perform as Edith Piaf. “I heard the voice of Edith Piaf MUSIC at the age of 4,” Lhermitte said. “It was a very strong, emotional shock. The meaning of the words of her songs did not reach me. I was too young, but the truth in her voice reached me in the heart.” Lhermitte will perform in “Piaf! The Show” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The production is inspired by the award-winning film “La Vie en Rose.” The show celebrates the life and career of legendary French nightclub singer Piaf through her most popular songs. Lhermitte will be accompanied by live musicians and historical images for a multimedia audience experience. “It is true that the role of Edith Piaf has been in my comedian life for a long time,” Lhermitte said. “I joined this great team of Directo Productions for two years already, and in order to celebrate the 60 years of its dis-

appearance, the show has been expanded.” Piaf died in 1963 at age 47. An autopsy wasn’t performed, but the suspected cause of death was liver failure attributed to liver cancer and cirrhosis. “This show follows through the songs (that reflect) the spirit of the artist,” Lhermitte said. “Edith Piaf lived only for her songs. It was only natural for us that they live for her.” The show, directed by French theater maverick Gil Marsalla, includes photos of Piaf and images of Parisian locations.

Ex-English teacher helps bring Steinbeck classic to stage By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Valentine’s Day. 317.846.5554 shepherdins.com
A former English teacher, Brian Coon has had his students read “Of Mice and Men” dozens of times. PLAY “Almost every year, I taught it to sophomores or juniors,” Coon said. “I was really attracted to this show. This is one of my all-time favorite novels.” The Westfield resident portrays George Milton in “Of Mice and Men” from Feb. 10 to 20 at the Basile Westfield Playhouse. Coon is also the show’s lighting director. The show’s director, James Williams, approached Coon about being the lighting director. “My only caveat was, I still would audition for it,” Coon said. “I like doing the lighting, but I didn’t want to miss out on the chance to possibly be in the show.” George is the role he wanted, Coon said. “The whole show is George and Lennie (Small),” he said. The play is based on John Steinbeck’s 1937 novel about two migrant field workers, George Milton and Lennie Small. Small is a strong man who is mentally disabled and doesn’t know his own strength. The play is set in the U.S. during the Great Depression. “Joe Wagner, who is playing Lennie, is fantastic,” Coon said. Coon’s most recent performance was in “Going, Going, Gone” at the old Westfield Playhouse venue in 2019. A Fishers resident, Wagner said he has a history with the character, although he has never played him before. “In college, friends would make fun of me and call me Lennie sometimes because I was kind of uncoordinated and knocked things over all the time,” Wagner said. “So (the role) was always in the back of my head. When I saw it come around, I thought I would give it a shot to see if it would work.” Wagner said a lot of pressure comes with playing an iconic role. Lon Chaney Jr. played Lennie in the 1939 movie, and John Malkovich played the role in the 1992 remake. “It’s such an interesting character because he is just so innocent and incredibly dangerous,” Wagner said. “He is trapped inside of a body he can’t control. That is really compelling to me because he does these sad and horrible things, but he almost has no control over how it happens or how

anything looks.” Wagner said his character pleads with George that they need to leave the ranch because he knows if they stay, he is going to get in trouble. “Already he is not feeling right, so his instincts are correct,” Wagner said. “He is a tragic victim of circumstances.” Wagner said he has seen a handful of different performances in movies and on YouTube. “It was important to me to not speak in a stereotypical, mentally handicapped voice,” he said. “It just wasn’t something that I was super interested in. I have an aunt who is special needs as well. They say multiple times he’s just like a child trapped in a man’s body. A child I can completely connect with. “The language and lines help you out immensely. If you do the line the way it’s written, that is half the work for you.” Williams, a Fishers resident, is directing his first show for Westfield Playhouse. “This is my first time with this show,” he said. “I fell in love with it several years ago in high school when they still taught it. It’s been a bucket list for me. The role I would have loved to play is Lennie, but I feel I’m almost too old for it. I’ve seen several productions of it. I wanted my turn at it.” For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: Contemporary kitchen in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1980 in Carmel’s Cedar Point neighborhood, this home’s original kitchen was ready for a remodel to improve form, function and flow.
After
THE BLUEPRINT • The existing peninsula was removed to improve flow and infuse the space with light. • An island was added to increase functionality for the homeowner, an avid baker. • Caesarstone Misty Carrara countertops were used on the perimeter cabinets, and Bianco Paradiso granite was used to accent the island. • White upper cabinets combined with a light backsplash resulted in an airy and open feel, while base cabinets in a warmer wood tone help to ground the space.

DISPATCHES Save time doing dishes — The easiest way to save time, water and money in the kitchen is to stop pre-rinsing dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. You could be making matters worse by causing the built-in soil sensor to misread the amount of dirt in the water. Most dishwashers sold in the last five years have such a sensor. Source: Consumer Reports DIY defrost solution for icy windows — All you need to create your own ice-defrost mixture are rubbing alcohol and water. Just mix two-third parts of rubbing alcohol with one-third part of water. Then, put the solution in a spray bottle and spray it on your icy windows. When the solution hits the
window, the ice will melt in seconds. You can also spray the solution on your doors if they’re frozen shut. Source: MSN.com Avoid stovetop messes — The wax that you use to shine up your car can also help you to shine up your stovetop. Apply a thin layer of your favorite car wax and then wipe it off with a clean, soft rag or a paper towel. Not only does this help your stovetop to look shiny and new again, it helps to make cleaning up spills in the future really easy. The foods that normally cause a huge mess on your stovetop will wipe right up when you have a light layer of wax underneath them. Source: diyncrafts.com

Visiting historic sites in Aswan Commentary by Don Knebel Today, continuing with places to go during Indiana winters, we will visit Aswan, Egypt, with an average high TRAVEL temperature in February of 77 degrees, with no rain. Aswan, originally named Swenett, is located along the Nile River at the first (northern most) of its granite outcroppings known as “cataracts.” Because the cataracts made river travel further south difficult, Swenett defined ancient Egypt’s boundary with Nubia. Because of extensive granite deposits near the surface, Swenett’s granite quarries produced obelisks and enormous granite blocks that were transported hundreds of miles north on the Nile. Because Swenett lies very near the Tropic of Cancer, where the sun is directly overhead on the summer solstice, its location was important to ancient geographers. Today, Aswan, with a population of about 350,000, is an important tourist destination. Just south of the city is the 2-mile-long Aswan High Dam, erected with Russian support between 1960 and 1970 to control Nile flooding. The 230-foot-tall Lotus Tower near the dam commemorates Egyptian/Russian

friendship. Nearby is a wonderfully preserved temple to Isis, originally built by the Greeks on the Island of Philae and moved to higher ground to escape the waters of Lake Nasser, created by the dam. Feluccas, graceful traditional boats propelled by both oars and sails, take visitors to the temple and other sites along the river, including Elephantine Island, reportedly once the site of a Jewish temple and now the site of a Nubian village. At night, Aswan’s famous spice market, which sells much more than spices, teems with visitors, who can engage horsedrawn carriages for trips around the city.
Illeists sound the silliest Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt There’s a 1995 episode of “Seinfeld” where Jerry, George and Kramer play basketball at the local health club with a guy named Jimmy. Not only does Jimmy GRAMMAR GUY sell special training shoes that supposedly increase your vertical leap, but he always refers to himself in the third person. Because of Jimmy’s use of third-person, George invests in the specialty shoes and Elaine mistakenly agrees to go on a date with Jimmy. Hilarity ensues. Believe it or not, there’s a term for someone who refers to himself in the third person: an illeist. At first glance, this sounds like a person who believes in a sick deity; I assure you this isn’t the case. Illeism is the act of referring to yourself in the third person. Illeism is also known as “self-talk” or “self-naming.” And, while you’re wondering, here’s the secret on when to use the hyphen: Write “third person” when the term is used as a noun and write “third-person” when using the term as a compound adjective.
We get the term “illeism” from the Latin word “ille,” which means “he” or “that man.” The word was first used by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1809. The plural version of illeism is the term “nosism,” more commonly known as “the royal we.” In Curtis’ research, Curtis has found three primary areas where illeism thrives: In Shakespeare, among professional athletes, and among politicians. If I had time to add a fourth category, it would be Elmo. But Curtis doesn’t have time to discuss Elmo. Finally, illeism wouldn’t exist without politicians. In 1996, Bob Dole famously declared, “Make no mistake, Bob Dole is going to be the Republican nominee.” Some say illeism sounds pretentious, and I tend to agree. For some reason, however, the elitist illeist are the ones who sound the silliest.
Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer. Connect with him on Twitter (@curtishoneycutt) or at curtishoneycutt.com.
Feluccas sail on the Nile River.
Many visitors come to Aswan on Nile River boats shuttling between Luxor and Aswan. Guests can stay at the five-star Old Cataract Hotel, where Agatha Christie wrote part of “Death on the Nile,” sipping afternoon tea on a terrace overlooking the Nile.
