Smoky Row Road reverts to original spelling By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Growing up, Marysa Long was a bit confused by her address. The street signs said CITY NEWS she lived on Smokey Row Road, but the nearby school was called Smoky Row Elementary. “People would ask me what my address was and ask how it’s spelled, and I would say, ‘I don’t really know,’” said Long, 24, who has since moved to Hartford City. The road’s name recently raised some eyebrows in Carmel when large letters spelling “Smoky Row” were added to its bridge crossing Keystone Parkway. Many people — Long included -- assumed it had been spelled wrong. But according to Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, the new sign is part of an effort to return to the road’s original spelling. The mayor wants to eventually update all street signs labeled Smokey Row Road to Smoky Row Road. The road also is known as 136th Street, and city leaders haven’t decided if those signs will change, too. “It’s been done both ways in Carmel over the years,” Brainard said. “The proper spelling of the word smoky is without an E. That’s what the dictionary says.” Carmel Clay Historical Society historian Andrew Wright said late historian Phil Hinshaw recorded that a sulfur spring on the northwest side of Carmel’s old town area created a thick fog that gave Smoky Row its name. Wright confirmed a sulphur spring was there, but he said the story of how the Smoky Row name came about could be “just a tale.” Wright described Smoky Row as a “small, forgotten settlement” just east of the Town of Carmel. In references from 1875 to 1923, it is spelled Smoky Row, with the first reference to Smokey Row in 1924. Wright said between 1924 and 2008 there are 737 instances of Smokey Row in Hamilton County newspapers and 605 instances without the e. But why the spelling changed remains a mystery.

The new “Smoky Row” sign on the bridge over Keystone Parkway caused confusion for some drivers who thought the name was misspelled. (Photo by Ann Marie Shambaugh)

“There was a neighborhood in Marion Township, Boone County, called Smokey Row with an ‘e,’” Wright said. “Many res-

idents of that Smokey Row did business in Sheridan, and so that Smokey Row is in early editions of the Sheridan newspaper. I wouldn’t think it influenced the spelling of our Smokey Row.” Brainard said the city is working to unify the road’s name now because redevelopment is soon coming to the area. Old Town Companies is building a mixed-use project with apartments, townhomes, condominiums, single-family homes and commercial space on 27 acres on the northeast corner of Smoky Row Road and U.S. 31. Long said she is glad to have confidence in the spelling of the street where her mother still lives. “It’s good to know, so when I tell people where I lived or where my mother lives, I don’t sound like I don’t know,” she said.

NO MORE NUMBERED STREETS Smoky Row Road isn’t the only street in Carmel with a pending name change. Mayor Jim Brainard said the streets in the Arts & Design District with numbered names are likely to change, too. “The numbered streets just aren’t very interesting,” Brainard said. The city plans to begin using some of the original names for streets in the area used from the early 1800s until the 1920s, when the numbered names were adopted. That’s already happened for 4th St. SW and SE, which is now known as Elm Street, although that street was originally known as Willard Street. 6th Street — soon to be known as Walnut Street — was the original Elm Street, according to the Carmel Clay Historical Society. The city hopes renaming the streets also will help eliminate confusion. With nearby street names such as 1st Ave. SE, 1st Ave. SW, 1st St. SE and 1st Ave. SW, visitors and packages often arrive at the wrong location. “It’s very confusing for mail delivery, for people driving in the area that aren’t familiar with it, and even people that live there,” Brainard said.

Carmel is a huge supporter of the arts, and as a city that is (majority) white, this mural would be a long-term symbol of Carmel’s acknowledgment and support of the fight for racial and social equality,” McAndrews said.

Alumnae and GIVING BACK co-founders Lily McAndrews, Izza Khurram and Adell Urtel, as well as design manager Camila Carrillo, have created Be the Change Indy, a platform that aims to support and amplify the voices of the Black community in Carmel and surrounding areas. “With the events going on in today’s society, I was discussing with my peers what we could do to make a change when we all decided we needed to step out and start spreading awareness to the youth in our own community,” Khurram said. “I believe it is everyone’s job to spread awareness and educate themselves with everything that is happening and join the movement to help end racism.” A primary goal of the organization is to raise money for a mural in Carmel by local Black female artist Macey Dickerson. “I believe the mural is an important addition to the Carmel Arts & Design District as

Help fallen heroes’ survivors Commentary by Jason Peek Defund the police, huh? Yep, that’s really cute and in the top three — if not No. 1 — on the list of stupidest things PLAIN TALK I’ve ever heard. Keep in mind, I’m a barber of more than 19 years, and I have heard it all. Here in Hamilton County, we love our police and first responders more than ever, and we will not even entertain the idea of not having them around. In fact, when Carmel had protests, it was our police department whose officers were present to make sure participants didn’t get in harm’s way with traffic or people while they marched. We’ve all seen what happens in other cities when they don’t let the police do their jobs. Crime skyrockets quickly. People die, and what happens to women is unmentionable in this space. Not on my watch! My business, Main Street Barber Shop, is taking donations of checks and cash in our First Responders Bucket, which will be donated to the Indiana Fallen Heroes Foundation to help Hoosier families with costs related to a hero who has died in the line of

duty. The funds will help families with unforeseen costs in the wake of their losses. We welcome all citizens and businesses to donate to this wonderful organization by swinging by the shop, 41 W. Main St., Carmel, and filling the bucket. We have, in fact, already started this effort and will continue this through the end of this month. I encourage everyone who reads this to spread the word to help raise awareness for this cause. Hamilton County will show support for our public servants that put their lives on the line when called to duty, and we will not defund or bash our heroes. Instead, we will watch out for them. And never hesitate to say thank you to a first responder and give him or her a smile, for they do not ask for much when putting their lives on the line on our behalf. Thank you for your support!

COVER STORY

Current in Carmel

Running free www.currentincarmel.com

Carmel musician logs thousands of miles running shoe-free By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Most runners consider a good pair of shoes a necessity, but not Loy Hetrick. The 63-year-old Carmel resident runs barefoot 6 miles or more nearly every day. Rain, snow and cold don’t deter him, although when it drops below 20 degrees, he’ll put on a pair or two of socks. For most of his life, he never would’ve thought running barefoot would become his hobby. “My wife would tell you I was the world’s worst tenderfoot,” Hetrick said. “I didn’t want to go shoeless at all, but now I’m running every day without them.” Hetrick’s running style has caught the attention of curious neighbors and passersby for years, but it’s not his only claim to fame. A trombonist, he has shared the stage — shoes on — with some of the greatest performers of the 20th century, and it was his love of music that started him running in the first place.

‘You’re a trombone player’

Hetrick, who grew up in eastern Nebraska, began playing the trombone in the junior high band. The son of two singers, he grew up wanting to become a professional musician. “I thought maybe I wanted to play one of the cool instruments, (like) the trumpet or the drums,” Hetrick said. “My band director, who was a very wise man, looked at my mouth and the way my teeth were formed and said, ‘You’re a trombone player.’” Turns out he was right. Hetrick continued learning the trombone through secondary school and continued his studies at the University of Nebraska. In 1983, he began pursuing a graduate degree at Indiana University, which at the time had one of the nation’s best programs for trombone, Hetrick said. Since earning his master’s degree, Hetrick’s career has included teaching, directing bands and performing with orchestras and bands. He’s played in the horn sections

Loy Hetrick said running barefoot has reduced his running-related injuries, although he sometimes contends with bee stings and cuts on the bottom of his feet. (Photo by Ann Marie Shambaugh) Loy Hetrick has played in bands that performed with Aretha Franklin, Barry Manilow and Frank Sinatra. “There’s some great band music and great orchestra music that involves trombone,” he said. “When the music gets exciting and loud, it’s partly because the trombones are in.” (Submitted photo)

for live performances by Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Frank Sinatra and other renowned artists. “We used to do the Christmas show tour all over the United States with Andy Williams,” Hetrick said. “Not a lot of that now occurs, because a lot of those singers are gone.” Now, Hetrick serves as the director of bands with Colonial Christian School. He also gives private lessons and makes studio recordings. Much of his live performance schedule has been decimated by the COVID-19 pandemic and its limitations on crowds and gatherings. Still, Hetrick is thankful to have made a career in the music business. “I’m very blessed to be able to do for a living what I love to do,” he said.

Many benefits

It was nearly 40 years ago that Hetrick’s passion for music sparked his interest in running. “A few friends and I were intrigued on what running might do to help our lung capacity and our breathing, so I took it up

with that in mind,” Hetrick said. “It also ended up being a good way for me to focus and be pretty healthy.” Hetrick said running made a noticeable difference in his ability to play the trombone, so he kept at it. He’s completed eight marathons and various other races through the years, but for the last decade he’s preferred to run on his own. “I was really interested in going fast when I was younger, but now that I’m older, I’m just glad to be going,” he said. Around the same time he eased back from competing in races, he read “Born to Run” by Christopher McDougall. A section of the book outlines the benefits of running barefoot, so he decided to give it a try. It didn’t take long for Hetrick to notice a difference. “It’s easier on your joints, feet, ankles, hips and back because it teaches you to run a lot more lightly and it improves your form,” he said. Hetrick said he no longer suffers from many of the common running injuries that used to plague him, although he’s had to adjust to others — such as bee stings and cuts on the bottoms of his feet. “You learn to be watchful of your running surface, but I run on just about any surface,” Hetrick said. “There is one particular

Loy Hetrick met his wife, Cynthia, in the same junior high school band that set him on his career path as a professional musician. An alto saxophone player, Cynthia sat in front of the trombone section. “We jokingly say I’ve been annoying her ever since then,” Loy said. The couple married in 1979 and moved to Indiana for Loy’s graduate studies. Once that was completed, they moved to Indianapolis in 1986 before ending up in Carmel in 1993. “We were trying to stay in Washington Township (in Indianapolis), but we found the cost of living and housing was cheaper in Carmel,” Loy said. The Hetricks have a son, 34, and daughter, 32, who both live in Indiana. spot on the ball of my left foot that will pop open if I hit a sharp rock or piece of glass or something, but I’ve found once I get home if I apply superglue gel, then I’m good to go the next day.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Sales pitch

Mayor reckless by not wearing mask

Commentary by Terry Anker “How can I have any confidence in your polls since you missed so far the last time I trusted you?” demanded the churlish evening newscaster. She had a good point. Those who are tasked with prognosticating our future based upon a series of questions to random humans tend to speak with what can only be described as “high confidence” in their own ability and methodology. Perhaps being self-possessed with certainty is a requirement to getting other people to listen. And getting other people to listen, it seems increasingly so these days, is the way to make money. “Well,” retorted the rather portly and now visibly perspiring guest, “this time we have heavily over-weighted for the straight white male.” Other than following up with the expected “what does that mean?” the interviewer simply smiled a knowing smile, looked directly into the camera with a near wink and went to commercial. It seemed that the magic formula had been perfected and that the next round of alchemy would indeed produce gold from lead. As business leaders, consumers and voters, we are routinely subjected to the predictions of these surveys. They determine the aroma of detergent, how long (and if) the Shamrock Shake will be available and the priority of many political agendas. It prevents us from making giant investments for something our customers don’t want. But too often, these prophecies are way off. New Coke comes to mind. Still, they generally work. The art, it appears, is using good math to get good samples, hope that good luck shows up and exude strong confidence — a good deal of it — that anyone can really expect to know the future. But what happens when our well-intentioned, if not deserved, confidence leads to smugness and blinding hubris? Can we believe our own sales pitch?

Unleashing the poet within Commentary by Danielle Wilson Step aside, Shel Silverstein! There’s a new poet on the block, and she is me! Or rather, my 8-yearHUMOR old self. While rummaging through an old scrapbook recently, I discovered a newspaper cutout from 1980. A poem called “Silly Rules” by yours truly, which I will now share, in its entirety, with you, my adoring public: Do not jump on the beds, dad said, Do not jump on your sister’s doll’s head. Do not put your pen in the Jell-O, Do not hit you sister with a pillow. Do not go to school without your books, Do not go fishing without your hooks. Do not jump on muddy chairs, Do not talk to bearded bears. Honestly, I’m pretty impressed. The cadence feels a bit forced in my discerning opinion, and I committed the literary crime of unnecessarily repeating a word with “sister,” the horror. But the creativity? Well done, little Danielle! Pens in Jell-O? Bearded

bears? That’s imagination, people. Is it any wonder, then, that some 40 years later I’ve become a global phenomenon? (If by “global,” I mean the Indy suburbs, and “phenom,” the three bimonthly hate mails I receive). The brilliance has been within me since second grade, just waiting for the new millennium to be unleashed again on the world. You’re welcome. And I suppose I should thank you, too, for allowing me to unburden my talent each week. My already large head can inflate even further with the amount of awesomeness floating around up there. Of course, now that I’ve recalled my poetry skills, I might have to move on to bigger and better things. Step aside, Shel Silverstein. Peace out.

My already large head can inflate even further with the amount of awesomeness floating around up there. Of course, now that I’ve recalled my poetry skills, I might have to move on to bigger and better things.

Editor, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard’s lack of leadership by participating in a bar scene in Carmel without a mask and within 6 feet of many people means that we have to restart the process of teaching people to be responsible. Brainard’s recklessness encourages others to not follow proper procedures and only delays the resumption of a healthy economy. Hopefully, the Hamilton County Board of Health will reevaluate its passive position, take appropriate actions and apply a swift penalty to stop this irresponsibility. The inaction of Brainard to demand the patrons, employees and himself to social distance and wear a mask exemplifies his conscious disregard for human life and the economy. Brian Shapiro, Carmel, owner of Shapiro’s Delicatessen

I haven’t worn a tie in years — with one exception. I always wore one to the Unitarian Universalist Church on SunHUMOR day. That is, before we started Zooming our services. The ties were from my special collection of neckwear to honor legendary comedic heroes I admire. I’ve combed Amazon, searched eBay and Googled just about every name in hopes of finding some new ones. Meanwhile, here’s a look at a few faces in my collection. Buster Keaton My favorite silent screen star. He wasn’t just silent, but expressionless. It’s not easy to be a comedy legend that way. Never watched one of his films? What else have you got to do this week? Watch “The General” first (it’s not about a general). Laurel and Hardy Here’s the test of great comedy. I have seen many of their films, multiple times. I know exactly what is going to happen and I laugh before it happens. Watch as Stan in “Way Out West” gets into a giggling fit while an unscrupulous woman is trying to get a deed from his pocket. I giggle with him every time. The Three Stooges If you are female, you will probably hate this tie. But if you are one the few women who love the Three Stooges, where were you when I was looking for a wife? George Burns Gracie was the funny one, but George Burns was the ultimate straight man. “Where did you get those flowers, Gracie?” “Well, Mrs. Pincheon is in the hospital and you told me to take her flowers. I just got back from visiting her and I took them.” Jack Benny He seldom made a joke himself, but the people around him — like his wife, Mary

Livingston, and his valet, Rochester — skewered the daylights out of him. Truth is, neither George Burns nor Jack got many laughs themselves; they left that reward to others. Charlie Chaplin Chaplin was proof that silence is golden. On my Facebook page, there’s a photo showing this tie right in the middle of my collection. Chaplin was not my favorite comic legend, but it’s my favorite tie because it matches more shirts. Lucille Ball This one features her in the episode where she is doing a TV spot for a nutritional elixir called “Vitameatavegamin” that contains 23 percent alcohol. It’s 100 percent funny. W.C. Fields You know how unfair rumors can be. You’ve probably heard he didn’t like kids, he drank too much and was a womanizer. Oh, wait, those were all true. Abbott and Costello “Who’s On First?” is the classic comedy bit of all time. It wasn’t actually created by the iconic duo, but they revived and finetuned it from an old Vaudeville bit. I’ve listened to it a thousand times. I’ve even tried to do the routine with my friend (and former student) Peter Spellos. We know the words — we just don’t have the melody. My wife hopes we will be back in church soon, so I have a place to wear my ties. It’s bad enough Mary Ellen must wake up next to me, but no woman should have to see Moe, Larry and Curly when she first opens her eyes.

Find community in senior living Commentary by Kara Shipman Loneliness and social isolation can be very damaging, especially for older adults. Social isolation sigRELATIONSHIPS nificantly increases a person’s risk of premature death and is associated with a 50 percent increased risk of dementia. Poor social relationships are also associated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke as well as higher rates of depression, anxiety and suicide. Sometimes, it’s hard to pull yourself out of the loneliness you are feeling, especially in today’s world — a world forcing us to distance from each other. But just because we are physically distant doesn’t mean we can’t still find and feel community with others. That’s where CarDon comes in. Find social engagement Even though we have to stay socially, or physically, distant, being part of a CarDon community like Carmel Health & Living still offers the opportunity to stay socially engaged. Being social doesn’t mean you have to be

physically close — because we can’t be right now. But it does mean you have the chance for social engagement with nurses, dietary associates, the life enrichment team, physical or occupational therapists and even other residents. From creative activities, to the receipt of cards and love letters from friends and family, the Carmel Health & Living staff makes sure residents don’t go through their days alone, and that truly makes all the difference. Find family At Carmel Health & Living, residents are visited each day by staff members who offer a warm smile, a comforting word and a health and wellness check. Community is shown when team members engage with, provide emotional support to and know each resident by name. Kara Shipman is the Director of Community Engagement at CarDon and Associates, a Family-First Senior Living Company, with more than 20 locations throughout Indiana and Ohio.

Initiative aims to slow spread news@currentincarmel.com The Hamilton County Health Dept. has partnered with area school districts to launch an educational PANDEMIC campaign designed to keep kids in school. Called “Show Some C.L.A.S.S Keep Kids in School,” the campaign outlines five basic rules families should follow to help keep children healthy and in the classroom: C – Check your child’s temperature every

morning before sending them to school. L – Lead by example. Let your child see you wearing a mask and modeling good social distancing. A – Avoid large gatherings. Slumber parties, carpools and birthday parties are discouraged. S – Schedule a test if you or someone in your family exhibits signs of COVID-19. S – Stay home until you receive your test results or if you are not feeling well. Learn more at showsomeclass.org.

Fishers filmmaker Query seeks to make first feature-length film By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The audience was left wanting more after seeing Dylan Query’s short film, “Cold Creek.” FILM The Fishers resident is happy to oblige. “After the crucial reception we got from our short film, we decided to make it our pilot,” he said. “We are continuing the story from the short film.” Query has a GofFundMe page to produce his first feature-length film called “Cold Cross.” “Cold Creek” was written by Query and his friend Jacob Stieneker, who stars in the short film. Query and Stieneker are graduates of Pike Central High School in Petersburg. Query, who graduated from Ball State University in December 2019, majored in telecommunications and minored in entrepreneurship and digital media storytelling. Query works as a digital media specialist at Allegion in Carmel and owns Query Productions, which films weddings, events and films. When creating a short film called “ReTnE” while at Ball State, Query put out a casting call on Facebook. “Jacob responded and said he was interested in acting in it,” Query said. “This was his first involvement in being in any kind of film production. We submitted it to Ball State’s Frog Baby Festival, and we ended up winning three awards at the festival. That whole experience inspired Jacob.” A couple of months later, Stieneker told Query he had an idea for a Western and asked if he would be interested in making it. “I realized I wanted to encourage his newfound passion,” Query said. “We ended up making ‘Cold Creek,’ and that was kind of my swan song for being at Ball State.” The film, directed by Query, revolves around William McCarthy, played by Stieneker, who returns years later to seek revenge on the sheriff for the murder of his parents.

“Cold Creek” received thousands of views on Facebook and was chosen for several film festivals. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, several festivals have been postponed or canceled. “Cold Creek” won Best Short Film at Popcon’s inaugural International Film Festival in Indianapolis. The film also won Best Director, Best Actor and Best Cinematography at the 2020 Frog Baby Festival. Query said they are still working on a script for a full-length version. “While we are writing the script, we are fundraising for the product itself,” he said. “Our goal is to actually start filming this fall.” As of Sept. 1, nearly half of the $10,000 goal has been raised. The money raised will be specifically used for talent, props and location rentals. “We want to invest in local talent,” Query said. “We want to rent local venues to film. With my production company, I have all the gear I need to do this.” Since the pandemic started, more

actors and actresses are looking for opportunities. Query’s goal is to succeed as a filmmaker while staying in Indiana. “Indiana has tried to pass a film incentive bill on several occasions. Unfortunately, it hasn’t passed yet,” he said. “I’m not entirely sure had it been passed (that) it was the right time for Indiana. If you look at the other states that are getting popular with filmmaking, Georgia, for instance, since 2012, their filmmaking has grown exponentially, creating thousands and thousands of jobs. Before the big boom, Georgia started investing in filmmaker infrastructure. They started investing in production studios and sound stages. They started to build the solid base and then came the film incentive bill. It was a good, well-thought out process.” Query said the next film bill should play to Indiana’s strengths.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern living in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The built-ins were replaced with floating acrylic laminate cabinetry and custom-made floating poplar shelves. The cabinets are topped with quartz. 2. The fireplace is now the star of the room, covered in a beautiful tile that mimics burnished steel. The firebox was converted from woodburning to gas. 3. The hearth was designed with a recessed space to accommodate the television. 4. Luxury vinyl flooring provides clean lines and unparalleled durability.

THE CHALLENGE This 1977 home is in Zionsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colony Woods neighborhood. The homeowners wanted to update the family room fireplace and surrounding built-ins with a clean, modern style.
