EDUCATION

The Hamilton Southeastern School Board voted 4-3 March 8 to terminate its contract with Panorama Education, a company that aggregates data from student surveys for educators.

According to the advocacy group Fishers One, there were privacy concerns related to how the information was gathered, and whether information could be tied to individual students.

Voting to end the contract were board members Juanita Albright, Ben Orr, Tiffany Pascoe and Suzanne Thomas. Albright, Orr and Pascoe were supported by Fishers One in the November 2022 election. Fishers One advocates for parental rights and returning to core academics in education.

Board members voting no were Dawn Lang, Sarah Donsbach and Sarah Parks-Reese

According to the board packet for March 8, Panorama is a cloud-based platform that helps schools analyze student and school data, measure social-emotional learning, and design and implement survey programs for students, staff and parents.

Panorama surveys at HSE started in spring of 2019 and were given twice a year. Each survey takes up to about 20 minutes, and students can opt out. The data was used for planning, required climate and culture components, and evaluating the district’s social and emotional learning, according to the packet information.

The surveys also asked about diversity, equity and inclusion within the district. A FAQ link on the district’s website states that the information helps the district understand students’ perspectives.

The district’s website states: “A hallmark of effective instruction and teaching is student voice and agency, which recognizes diversity of people and thought. Panorama

provides students with an opportunity to share their authentic feedback about the world around them—a world that we are actively preparing them to enter post K-12.”

During the meeting, district officials told the board that student data is aggregated broadly for each school. Individual student surveys are available only to specific district employees, such as guidance counselors and principals.

The district has paid for a 2 1/2-year contract with Panorama and cannot recoup the funds. The total cost was about $150,000.

Thomas made the motion to terminate the contract effective immediately, have a legal review of the termination process, and develop an internal survey to fulfill state requirements.

Woof Gang coming to Hamilton County

By Edward Redd edward@youarecurrent.com

Pet retailer Woof Gang Bakery and Grooming is planning to open four stores in Hamilton County in the next four years.

EDUCATION

Miami-based Woof Gang sells pet food, pet supplies and offers grooming services. CEO Ricardo Azevedo said he anticipates the first store in Hamilton County to open this year in Carmel.

“We’re going to be looking into other spaces in Hamilton County, but we don’t have a specific location,” Azevedo said.

The retailer expects to open one shop per year in the county.

Woof Gang sells oven-baked treats and meat chews made with natural and protein-rich ingredients without preservatives. Treats can be customized for holidays and birthdays.

Grooming services are performed in a

hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner, hair drying, full-body brushing, styling and more.

“We have a very specialized experience for the dogs. It’s grooming, but Woof Gang does it in a very different way,” Azevedo

said. “We have the owners very involved, so they care and they love. The technology that we’ve developed is very different from what you’d find in many other grooming houses.”

Woof Gang was founded in 2007 and has more than 200 locations in the U.S. Learn more at WoofGangBakery.com.

Fishers homes affected by Noblesville rezone

Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

A 162-acre site in Noblesville has been chosen for the new corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities for Bastian Solutions.

DEVELOPMENT

The site is on the Noblesville side of the border with Fishers. The Fishers side is home to residential neighborhoods and nearby schools. Some Fishers homeowners are not happy about a large new industrial plant going in so close to their properties.

Lindsay Ficchi is one of those homeowners. She said she only recently found out about the planned development and has concerns that have not been addressed. Ficchi hopes to convince Noblesville officials to delay a rezone for the site until more information is available.

The rezone was scheduled to be heard by the Noblesville Planning Commission March 20. Ficchi said she reached out to Noblesville officials about delaying that hearing but was told it wasn’t possible. The commission could, however, choose to postpone voting on the rezone.

Bastian has a facility on North Meridian Street in Carmel. In a January Current story, company officials said they conducted a ZIP code study of employees, along with housing market and labor supply research. That led them to select the site near 146th and Promise Road for the company’s new home. Capital investment is estimated at $130 million. Along with an estimated 400 relocated jobs, the new plant is expected to result in 250 new positions.

A large portion of the site is zoned as “office/flex,” and the rezone would change that to “industrial/office.” Part of the overall site already is zoned industrial/office.

Some of Ficchi’s concerns include the manufacturing process and materials used for that process, and increased industrial-level traffic so close to homes and schools. She said the planned development also will affect property values.

Ficchi encourages Fishers residents living near the planned development to speak out about the project.

Fishers hires new parks director

news@currentinfishers.com

The City of Fishers has hired Marissa Deckert as the new director of Fishers Parks. Formerly the department’s assistant director, she will take over day-to-day operations and lead upcoming initiatives, including the opening of Geist Waterfront Park this spring, the Geist Half Marathon in September and the Summer Concert Series at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater.

CITY NEWS

Since joining the Fishers Parks in 2018, Deckert helped spearhead the launch of new parks spaces, including the Fishers AgriPark and Fishers Maker Playground at Hub & Spoke. She also led the launch of a new concert series at the NPD AMP in 2022, which featured national acts like The Avett Brothers, Gov’t Mule, and Houndmouth.

“Marissa has been a key contributor to elevating Fishers Parks over the past few years, transitioning the department from a focus on smaller programming to largescale community events,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness stated.

During her time at Fishers Parks, Deckert led the charge on training and certifying Fishers Parks as the first sensory inclusive parks system in Indiana. She also works closely with the Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability to ensure Parks spaces and programs are accessible to all. In 2019, she was a guest speaker at the Indiana Governors Conference on Disability and oversaw the department’s partnership with national accessibility leader Kulture City.

Deckert also sits on the Fishers Arts & Culture Commission and worked with the Commission to launch the Art Wall at Brooks School Park.

“I’m so fortunate to have the opportunity to lead the Parks department and continue to work with the amazing City team that makes Fishers so vibrant,” Deckert stated.

Tom Wood Subaru hosts pit bull event — March is Pit Bull Awareness Month, and the Humane Society for Hamilton County is presenting an event at Tom Wood Subaru at 3300 E. 96th St., Indianapolis, to educate the community about the misconceptions of pit bulls and bully breeds. The event is from 2 to 4 p.m. March 24, with adoptable pit bulls.

ZCHS senior has passion for horses, hockey

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

It might be a unique sporting combination, but Bostyn Leffler makes it work.

The Zionsville Community High School senior competes in equestrian events and hockey.

Leffler started playing hockey in 2010.

“I mainly play defense, but I’ve also played forward and spent a couple of years filling in as a goalie,” she said. “I’ve played many sports, but nothing has matched the thrill of hockey. It’s a fastpaced game that is always changing and keeps you on your toes. I love the physical and mental challenges that hockey entails, as well as the team environments and the connections I’ve made over the years.”

Leffler played for the Zionsville Hockey Club, but she was the only girl on the team. She also played for the Junior Fuel’s 19U girls team.

University.

“I plan to play and be involved with hockey as long as I can,” she said.

Leffler plans to major in agribusiness or animal sciences, or perhaps both.

Leffler, who started riding horses in 2012,

competes in Saddlebred horse shows.

“Saddlebred horses are a performance-based breed, and while they are capable of doing all the things that other horse breeds do, they’re known best for their flashy movement and commanding presence in the show ring,” said Leffler, who has four horses.

Leffler was one of six girls selected to represent the U.S. in the Saddle Seat World Cup in July 2022 in Harrodsburg, Ky. She said the event occurs every two years in either South Africa or Kentucky. The selection process began in 2019, with video submissions. Then the judges chose 20 riders to progress to the live trials at William Woods University in Missouri. The selections were originally for a team that would compete in 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition was postponed to 2022.

“The World Cup competition was a very unique and incredible experience,” Leffler said. “Since riding isn’t usually a team sport, it was something out of the ordinary for me. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to represent my country as well as connect with riders from other countries over our mutual passion for the sport.”

Democrat seeks city council seat

By Jeff Decker editorial@youarecurrent.com

Howard Stevenson is eager to bring his broad range of experience to the Fishers City Council.

Stevenson is one of five candidates (three Republicans, two Democrats) vying for the three at-large council seats. The primary election is May 2. The general election is Nov. 7.

ELECTION

Stevenson, a Democratic candidate for an at-large seat on the council, is an attorney and adjunct law professor, entrepreneur, former Hamilton Southeastern School Board member and current president of the Fishers Plan Commission and vice president of the city’s board of zoning appeals.

He said those roles have helped him learn how to find solutions to issues even when that proves challenging.

“I will also bring my bridge-building qualities with me to the city council,” Stevenson said. “I have a track record of working effectively with various groups of people in our community to accomplish a common goal, even though the groups may have differing opinions on certain issues.

“I look forward to working in that same manner on the city council to make our great city even better.”

After serving on the planning and zoning boards, a city council position is the next logical step for Stevenson, who lists fiscal responsibility, economic development and smart growth, and a strong relationship with HSE Schools among his priorities. He is eager to hear what constituents have to say about the issues.

“Serving on the plan commission and board of zoning appeals has reinforced for me that public input is vitally important to the process,” he said. “Focusing on public input and my knowledge of land use will allow me to serve as an effective city councilman.”

Stevenson, a Fort Wayne native, is managing partner of Stevenson Legal Group. He and his wife, Christa, have been married 34 years and have lived in Fishers for 23 years. They have three adult sons.

ELECTION

David Giffel has learned much in 17 months on the Fishers City Council. He hopes to continue to apply that knowledge for years to come.

A Republican, Giffel is seeking his first full term on the council. Republican precinct officials chose him to replace David George, who announced his resignation as the Southwest District representative on the council in September 2021. Giffel is unopposed in the May 2 Republican primary. Bill Stuart, a Democrat, also is seeking the Southwest District seat.

Giffel said time on the council has given him a better understanding of the city’s budget and finances; knowledge about ordinances, laws and regulations; an understanding of the city’s planning and zoning process, as well as local government structure and the roles of city staff; and a good

As a liaison between the mayor and citizens, Giffel said he understands the importance of good communication. He writes a monthly newsletter, meets with constituents and said he responds to all calls and emails.

“The people of Fishers are my top priority, and I work diligently to ensure they are heard,” he said. “I strive to pay attention to detail, inform constituents, be a voice in our district and advocate for their needs.”

Among Giffel’s priorities for Fishers are strong and strategic job growth, maintaining roads and lower tax rates. The city’s most significant challenge, he said, is ensuring infrastructure keeps up with population growth.

Getting to know Mike Reece

Mike Reece is a Westfield High School graduate who now works as a science teacher and assistant football coach at the school.

What is your best habit, and what is your worst?

I feel that I am pretty laid back for the most part, but I can definitely be stubborn about certain things. Do you have a hidden talent?

I used to draw a lot when I was younger. I was a pretty good student in high school, so I would doodle when I got my work done in class. I drew my first tattoo my junior year of high school and have drawn most of my other ones, too. I let the artists put their own touch to it when I give them the designs.

What do you do when you’re stuck?

I keep trying until I figure it out. I might take a break from whatever has me stuck, but I’m not one to give up easily. I like challenges and puzzles. Is there a book that you recommend to everyone?

I’m not much of a reader but do enjoy the “Game of Thrones” books. If you like the TV show, the books are even better. I’ve been reading the first one on and off for three years but I’m finally almost done.

Do you have a favorite podcast?

I like the “Shamrock Sports Report” that some of our students do. It’s cool to see how talented and creative they are. Besides that, I follow a variety of different YouTube channels: football, grilling/cooking channels, and video games mainly.

What is your Favorite drink?

Coke all day. I need to drink more water though.

What is something most people don’t know about you?

I’m an introverted extrovert. I enjoy hanging out with friends but not necessarily going out to a lot of different places.

MEET THE NEW BOSS

Fishers resident is new president/CEO of Eiteljorg museum

Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art announced earlier this month that Kathryn Haigh of Fishers will be its new president and CEO.

Haigh succeeds retiring CEO John Vanausdall, who has led the Indianapolis museum for more than 26 years.

Haigh has nearly three decades of experience in the field, including exhibition management, community outreach and museum operations. She also chairs the Fishers Art and Culture Commission, which she’s sat on for three years.

In the announcement, Haigh said she plans to collaborate with the community at large to create new engagement opportunities.

“I am excited about the opportunity to lead the Eiteljorg at this particular time in our country’s history,” Haigh said. “We are experiencing a period of cultural transformation in Indianapolis with many new leaders at key institutions, and I can’t wait to see what we can do together to promote culture and become a community resource for all.”

Haigh most recently has been interim director and chief operating officer at the

Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. In that role, she has prioritized collecting and exhibiting art from marginalized groups and worked to connect with underserved communities.

Haigh said working for a smaller museum was appealing, because she felt she could have a bigger impact. She added that the strategic plan the Eiteljorg board had drafted aligned closely with her values and interests.

“Meeting the committee sealed it for me,”

she said. “This is the most engaged, passionate group of people you’ll ever meet on a board. Then I went over to see the museum. I saw their new Native American gallery installation and I was blown away. I’ve seen a lot of installations in other museums and this one was the best.”

Haigh said she will build on the great programs in place and expand them. She said she’d like to invite a broader audience and raise the national profile of the museum. And, always, engage the community to find out what it wants from the institution.

“Through those conversations, you develop such a rich, deeper connection with your community,” she said. “That’s how museums continue to exist.”

Eiteljorg Board of Directors Chair Pat Anker said Vanausdall announced his plan to retire last August, and the board’s challenge was to find a high-quality replacement.

“Kathryn Haigh clearly is that someone,” Anker stated. “Her career has been one of rich artistic as well as deep operating experience. We searched for – and found – someone with exemplary credentials in leadership, fundraising, DEAI, strategic planning and community outreach. In addition, Kathryn brings a tremendous exhibition-development background.”

L.G. Edwards, an Eiteljorg Board member and former board chair, headed up the search committee. More than 200 people applied for the position, and Edwards said

Haigh stood out as the top choice.

“As part of a purposeful and inclusive search process, a particular effort was made to ensure the voices and networks of Native American and First Nations communities were included, both in order to support the development of the position description, and in our outreach to potential candidates and those with networks that might include potential candidates,” Edwards said.

Haigh graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in art history. She served as chief registrar, first at the Cincinnati Museum of Art from 1998 to 2007 and then at IMA from 2007 to 2010. As deputy director, she was promoted to increasing responsibilities.

Haigh became chief operating officer of IMA at Newfields in 2017, planned the institution’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2021 became interim director and chief operating officer.

Haigh will be the fifth chief executive or museum director in the Eiteljorg’s history and its first female president and CEO. She will arrive a few weeks before Vanausdall’s departure, so that the outgoing and incoming CEOs will overlap during the transition.

Haigh starts her new job in May.

Developers kick off project

mixed-use development site. The city owned 100 acres before the donation, said David Powers, Vice President of Development with CRG Residential.

DEVELOPMENT

Developers broke ground March 7 on a $135 million project on the corner of 96th Street and Allisonville Road in Fishers. River Place mixed-use project will combine residential and commercial space, according to CRG Residential, the Carmel-based firm working with the City of Fishers on the project.

Mayor Scott Fadness said the project has been in the making for the past few years.

“It’s pretty extraordinary to not only have a great development happening, but to add more parkland to our city and also improve our traffic flow here in our city,” Fadness said.

The City of Fishers will replace the existing intersection with a roundabout, using funds donated by CRG for that purpose.

CRG Residential announced that it also is donating 25 acres to the adjacent White River nature park planned by the city, and has purchased retail buildings along Allisonville Road “to ensure a cohesive, walkable community master plan.”

The planned park is just west of the

“For the most part, you’re going to have 125 acres that can be used by all citizens,” he said. “It’s big enough that it can go all the way up to where Fishers has Heritage Park and you’ll be able to connect that up to that existing park. You’re going to have a park-like setting from 82nd Street all the way to 106th Street when this is done.”

Fadness lauded the project’s contribution to the community’s economic growth.

“We appreciate CRG Residential’s financial and land investments that, combined with the state-funded READI grant, will support the first phase of the White River park project,” Fadness said.

The state’s READI grant program offers matching funds for projects throughout the state, with the goal of enhancing economic growth.

Construction on River Place starts in the spring with units ready to occupy in 2024. Once completed, it will offer 381 rental units, 81 townhomes for purchase, and 35,000 square feet of mixed-use space.

Editor,

I am disappointed in the decision of the four Fishers One-backed HSE School Board members that voted on March 8 to throw away nearly $90,000 of taxpayer dollars. These candidates ran on a platform of being fiscally conservative but wasting almost $100,000 is not being fiscally conservative, let alone fiscally responsible.

The HSE School district has used Panorama Ed to survey its students about school culture in order to implement school improvement plans, as required by the state. However, at the most recent meeting, and without any explanation, board members Suzanne Thomas, Ben Orr, Tiffany Pascoe, and Juanita Albright voted to cease using the platform immediately. They brought forward no viable alternative, and because the contract has already been paid in full, the district loses out on the $90,000 in services it has already paid for. Additionally, this vote leaves administrators scrambling for

a new platform to comply with state law, which will likely cost the district even more money. This vote shows a complete lack of respect for both our school staff and the taxpayers.

Historically, only about 5 percent of fam ilies opted their students out of the survey. These board members made a decision without explanation or discussion that will hurt our students, teachers, and taxpayers not based on facts, but seemingly based on campaign promises to their donors. This is not how public servants should lead. Deci sions should be made based on facts and feedback from our teachers, administrators, and parents, not politics. With 95 percent of our families choosing to allow their stu dents to participate in this survey, it is clear these Board members are only listening to very small minority in our community in stead of doing what is best for HSE Schools and our students. They should be ashamed.

Erasing ideas, one at a time

Commentary by Terry Anker

Death by a thousand cuts. Lingchi, the Chinese practice of torture and execution until the early 1900s, did exactly what it described. It drew blood from its victims only a little at a time until a tipping point prevented recovery. The objective was to inflict as much pain as possible. Ironically, the medieval practice of bloodletting was functionally similar. It drew blood from its patients only a little at a time until a tipping point prevented recovery. The objective was to balance the bodily humors to heal the sick. Whatever the intention or methodology, the outcome was equally unappealing. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, holds the cliché. So, is the good actor better served to leave well enough alone? Could it be that the real test of moral action is one of intention or perhaps restraint? In a proclaimed effort to “modernize” classic works of literature, censors have taken to removing or rewriting sections or themes determined unilaterally to be potentially offensive to current sensibilities. It is not a

new enterprise. It would be hard to image a sovereign or pontiff entirely able to resist the power to “correct” history to better conform with their own agendas. While those aims may have been pure, or not, wouldn’t it be terrific to review the original, unedited text, unfiltered by the changing mores of the millennium?

We have come to recognize with dread the pyre upon which some of us would throw ideas inconsistent with our own. Most of the world restricts open access to the internet for all, and access to learning for many, usually based upon religion, gender or politics. There is a bonfire in the public square of “wrong” ideology. Could editing authors’ intents turn out to be like burning books — one page at a time?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I woke up recently feeling refreshed and energized, certain I had slept for a solid eight, maybe nine, hours. To my surprise, the clock read 10:35 p.m.! I’d been down for less than 90 minutes! Of course, then I couldn’t fall back asleep, and when I finally did, it was basically restless dozing. Since when did nights become so long? By the time my alarm went off, I was exhausted.

prescription meds. Sometimes, I sleep. Most nights, I don’t. Add in a husband who often snores, a black Lab who occasionally barks, and the brutal unpredictability of hot flashes, and you have a recipe for a perpetually grumpy middle-aged woman whose joint pain varies indirectly with her continence level. I’m a ball of fun.

Since when did nights become so long?

By the time my alarm went off, I was exhausted. What gives?

I’m one hot perimenopausal mess is what gives, and they, the stupid hormones responsible for this obscene predicament, don’t actually give a flying anything about my ability to sleep. Like, at all. Particularly during a full moon or after I’ve lifted weights, or most Wednesdays through Tuesdays. Every night is a crapshoot with me, unable to break an absurdly long unlucky streak.

I’ve tried meditation, backward counting, getting up and eating, staying put and breathing, and even a variety of OTC and

At least I’m not alone. My high school besties, some of my colleagues and a few sisters and sistersin-law are all lamenting this horrible lead up to “The Change” with me. Menopause misery does, in fact, love company. But it’s no real consolation, even when I do manage to get a beautiful 87 minutes of sleep. For the night is long and hormones are dumb!

Candid observations of candid camera moments

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

literally.

HUMOR

Returning from our vacation to the Virgin Islands last month, I sent my digital camera through the airport’s scanner. Then I forgot to retrieve it after it rolled out on the conveyor. When I came back minutes later, it was gone. I almost aways use my cellphone on trips to snap photos, but I took the old point-and-shoot as a backup.

It ended up being chock-full of pictures showing all the fun Mary Ellen and I had — you know, standing in front of an old church, standing in front of an old restaurant, standing in front of an old museum, and standing in front of people older than us, if we could find any.

I had hoped the thief would have a change of heart about taking my camera. I had my name and email address taped on the back. What value could my old camera have for anyone else? Crooks don’t have a conscience, and this guy took the cake, or in this case, the Kodak.

Yesterday, I opened my email to find this note:

Dear Mr. Wolfsie: (Is that really a name?)

Thanks for leaving your camera unattended at the Nassau Airport. When I started looking through your pictures, I was disappointed. There wasn’t a single racy shot out of the whole bunch. Oh, well, you and the redhead make a lovely couple, so I’m emailing you back all of your vacation photos. Sorry I stole your camera. It’s a little antiquated but still a keeper. I mean that

I’d like to make a few suggestions from an objective observer. Your wife is very attractive, but I’m not a big fan of capri pants. I love her red hair, but I’m not crazy about the style. Otherwise, you are a lucky man. I wish I had a trophy wife.

Now, regarding you: Geez … no more selfies, I beg you. And when someone else takes a photo of you, never have your head bent forward, looking down. With those multiple chins, definitely avoid profile shots. You look pretty good for your age, assuming you’re 85 (you must be that old, since you still use AOL). Here’s a thought: How about some more candid shots of you and your wife doing something more physical than just standing? Too scary? Maybe you can hire someone to pretend he’s you, parasailing or windsurfing.

Some final advice on your picture-taking: You apparently think half a head is better than none. That is true, except in photos.

Anyway, Dick, if I may call you that (after all, I feel like I know you), I am keeping the camera, even though I would have preferred a Nikon.

Author’s note: You guessed it. I made up this entire story. Just for the record, my wife’s hair looks fabulous.

ATI LAB Series features new spin on play

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

When Alisa Hauser read A.A. Milne’s play “Belinda: An April Folly,” she immediately thought it would make a good musical.

MUSICAL

She was looking for a project to work with her friend David Mallamud, so she suggested the play.

“From there, we set out on our collaboration, with me doing the script adaptation and lyrics and David composing the music,” Hauser said.

“David and I met at the BMI Workshop in New York City, where we were paired together to write a song as an assignment for the class. We have worked on a number of smaller projects over the years since then, but ‘Belinda’ has been the biggest project of our collaboration.”

As part of Actors Theatre of Indiana’s Lab Series, “Belinda: An April Folly” will be presented as a free reading at 2 p.m. March 25 at Carmel Clay Public Library’s large Community Room on the first floor. This is the first time the ATI LAB Series has been held anywhere besides the ATI’s Studio Theater home at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Before Milne’s “Winnie-the-Book” book was published in 1926, “Belinda: An April Folly” premiered in 1918. The play is set in 1914.

“The characters in ‘Belinda’ go through the world with a kind of naiveté and silliness, though they are completely passionate about their motivations,” Hauser said. “This speaks to my love of musical theater. I choose to spend my life escaping into a world where characters sing and dance, so it felt like a natural fit for my sensibilities.”

Having the reading with music in front of an audience will help the creative process, Hauser said.

“As writers. we spend our time creating

on paper, or in today’s world, computers,” Hauser said. “The characters only come to life in my head as we work on the piece. So, to hear and see them come to life with professional actors helps us tremendously. The audience really tells us what is working or not. We get to see if what we imagine is there is really there. Will this moment work? Will this song forward the plot in the way we think it will? Will this line get a laugh? I may think it’s hilarious on paper, but the actors and audience will tell us for sure. David and I also think it’s fascinating to see when something is revealed in a reading that we didn’t expect, a minor subplot that ends up getting expanded, for example.”

There have been two previous readings.

“Each time, we are able to make changes based on what we learn,” Hauser said. “For example, for this reading at ATI, we have added a brand-new song and a new scene.”

Mallamud agreed the process is extremely important.

“Even a completed musical doesn’t really exist until you get it in front of an audience,” Mallamud said. “Readings can definitely answer questions we might have about whether a certain line, song or plot line works, but they can also reveal so

much to you about your musical that you never even thought to think about, questions you never thought to ask. There’s always a lot of surprises. Something you thought was the greatest moment in your show might fall flat, and a moment you thought of as purely utilitarian, expositional or transitional could end up being the moment that draws the audience in the most.”  Indianapolis resident Jeff Stockberger said he sees his role as director as trying to find the needs of the creators along with bringing new ideas to the table. Stockberger said he is always seeking opportunities to work with ATI co-founder Don Farrell, who will be the stage manager. The fact Milne wrote the play was intriguing to Stockberger.

“It’s more of an adult piece, but still has a childlike wonder about it,” Stockberger said. “It’s simple, light and quite funny.”

Debbie Meyers is the music director.

“Since it’s a musical I’ve never done before, I thought it would be great to be part of the weeklong process,” Meyers said. “I’ve done a lot of shows but never in this kind of setting.”

African artist to play Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Jonathan Butler’s life has taken amazing turns.

The singer/songwriter and guitarist from South Africa will perform at 7 p.m. March 26 at the Palladium at the Center for Performing Arts in Carmel.

Butler was the first nonwhite artist to be played on South African radio and television.

“I couldn’t envision where my life has taken me from the age of 11,” Butler said. “This is a dream come true. I can’t even express coming from a family of 12 brothers and sisters and great poverty to opening for Whitney Houston and Eric Clapton and becoming an international artist. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to believe that this is real because where I come from, people are humble and people are simple and people are community based. Growing up in a family where there wasn’t a lot to go around, it’s an unbelievable dream and an unbelievable journey. I’m grateful for it all, signing

my first recording when I was 13.” Butler said he really hasn’t reflected on the journey.

“But there’s a saying, ‘Count your blessings and name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done,’” Butler said. “So, all that has happened to me is what God has designed for me, and all that I’ve been through God has guided me through it, so I’m humbly grateful for my life and all that in it.”

Anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela said Butler’s music inspired him during his imprisonment for opposing the apartheid system. Mandela became the first Black president of South Africa in 1994.

“I’ve been blessed in my life to have encountered amazing people and light,” Butler said. “I call them light, and that is Nelson Mandela and (South African bishop) Desmond Tutu. They’ve been my inspiration. Not just mine, but my generation, my nation. They were the pillars and still are the pillars of freedom and justice in South Africa. I was very blessed and fortunate to know both these incredible lights of our community and our country.”

Drinking in fine taste of riesling

Commentary by Mark LaFay

my go-to.

WINE

Recently, I drank a 2019 vintage riesling from the Alsace region of France. It reminded me of how much I love riesling. If you have lived in Indiana for some period of time, your primary exposure to riesling is probably a form that came in a blue bottle and was beyond sweet. Unfortunately, this type of riesling has given a lot of people the negative impression that riesling is a cloyingly sweet wine without much dimension. The good news is that good riesling is vastly different and better than the blue-bottle bummer.

First, riesling is a wine, and it is the name of the grape used to make the wine. The Germans have been making mind-numbing good riesling for centuries. The bulk, but not all, of righteous riesling comes from the Mosel and the Rheingau. Great riesling also comes from Alsace in France, Finger Lakes in Upstate New York, and the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Riesling is often thought of as a sweet wine because it is so fruit-forward. While semi-sweet and fully sweet riesling from high-quality producers is sublime, riesling that is fermented dry is

I had a basic riesling from Weinbach that was just nuts. It was definitely fruit-forward, with a great mineral profile and tart acidity. It smelled great, tasted great, and it was great to have with the charcuterie that we had out. Great riesling will develop and age into something truly remarkable, just like well-made red wines. Even after four years, the riesling has plenty of time left in it to develop! If you are thinking about some epic grazing this weekend, pick up a nice riesling to pair. Dry riesling is great with salty cured meats, pickled asparagus, Muenster, Gruyere or Beaufort cheeses.

There are several great places to find riesling around Indy, such as Tasteful Times in Fishers, Vine and Table in Carmel, West Clay Wine and Spirits, or the Payless Liquors off 96th and Interstate 69.

Blueprint for Improvement: Bathroom serenity in Geist

Commentary by Larry Greene

Built in 1988 in the Feather Cove section of Geist, this home’s full bath had an efficient and functional layout, but it was time to overhaul the room to better fit this family’s evolving needs and style.

THE BLUEPRINT

• A light color palette brightens the space, while the rich wood cabinets bring warmth and a sense of calm with a touch of traditional style.

• The shower/tub combination was replaced by a walk-in shower, which features a glass pane door, built-in bench and porcelain tile in a marble finish that elevates the room’s aesthetic.

• Luxury vinyl plank flooring provides warmth and durability with a soft step, and the look of hardwood without the worry of water damage or maintenance.

• Brushed nickel finishes and hexagonal tile serve as the perfect accents, adding a dose of classic yet modern flair.

Do you have dontopedalogy?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Do you have a friend or family member who has, as Dictionary.com describes it, “the habit of making inappropriate, insensitive, or imprudent statements”? If you can’t think of someone in your life who often sticks her foot in her mouth, maybe you are the culprit.

cent slip-ups. I’ll note here that many of his comments were racist and/or bigoted, although I’m doing my best to assume that he simply wasn’t the sharpest crayon in the box.

GRAMMAR GUY

Prince Philip, former Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth, passed away in 2021. However, he left his mark on language by coining the word “dontopedalogy,” as he suffered from this unfortunate, habitual foible.

In a speech to the General Dental Council in 1960, Prince Philip introduced dontopedalogy by describing it as “the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it, a science which I have practiced for a good many years.”

The Duke of Edinburgh was a disaster when it came to diplomacy and off-thecuff comments. Although I won’t share the examples of Prince Philip insulting entire countries in an often-offensive way, I’ll share some of the more humorous, inno-

While meeting with the London Assembly’s tourism chief at the opening of City Hall in 2002, Prince Philip noted, “The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. They block the streets.” Read the room, pal.

Going back to 1969, as the queen was overspending her allowance from the government, Prince Philip noted, “We go into the red next year … I shall have to give up polo.” Open mouth, insert foot.

Yes, Prince Philip had a chronic case of dontopedalogy. If you suspect you are suffering from the same condition, consult your doctor or therapist.

Visiting Jerusalem’s Mt. Zion

Commentary by Don Knebel

Today, in our continuing tour of Israel and the Palestinian Territories, we visit a single building in Jerusalem that has significance for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.

Mt. Zion is a hill in Jerusalem long associated with biblical King David. When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, they discovered on Mt. Zion the ruins of a fourth-century church that had once been

a synagogue. Muslim residents repeated stories that the synagogue was built over the tomb of King David. On the other hand, Christian residents said the church was associated with Jesus’ last meal with his disciples in the so-called Upper Room.” So, the Crusaders erected the Church of St. Mary of Zion to honor both traditions. An empty stone box in a first-floor room symbolized David’s tomb and a larger space above was associated with the Upper Room. When the Ottoman Turks gained control of Jerusalem, they added a minaret to the building and converted the upper room into a mosque honoring David.

For about 800 years, Jewish residents of Jerusalem ignored claims associating the Crusader building with David because the Hebrew Scriptures say David was entombed in the “City of David,” hundreds of yards to the east. After the 1948 war, Jordan barred Jewish access to that and other sites in Jerusalem. The tiny room with the stone box was one where Jews could gather to pray. So, the box was covered with blue velvet embroidered with representations of musical instruments and Hebrew text proclaiming, “David, the king of Israel lives forever.”

A small sign over the entrance proclaimed “King David’s Tomb” in English, Hebrew and Arabic.

Today, Jews pray in King David’s Tomb on the first floor, Christians pray in the upper room and Muslims pray on the roof. No one cares if David is really in his tomb.
