The Fishers City Council met March 18. The next meeting is scheddevelopment uled for 7 p.m. April 16 at City Hall, 1 Municipal Dr. For more, visit fishers.in.us. What happened: The Fishers City Council approved The Stations at Fishers District, 6-1, with David George voting against. What it means: The Stations at Fishers District, an 8.67-acre parcel near The Yard at Fishers District, petitioned for a rezone to allow for commercial, retail, a hotel and townhomes to be built on the property.

Fishers’ Open Guard named state champion By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com The Fishers High School Open Guard was named state acccomplishment champion at the March 6 Indiana High School Color Guard Association Open Guard Class. The 22-member team has been perfecting its routine since November 2018. The same performance is used at each competition. This year’s show is “A SelfEvident Truth.” “It centers around four influential leaders who fought for social change, equality and justice for all,” said Kylee Hubbard, FHS color guard director. “Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy all had a common dream that a state of love for everyone could exist.” Parts of the show pulled directly from the four men’s influential speeches. “The song we use is a cover of ‘Abraham, Martin and John’ called ‘Abraham, Martin, John and Bobby,’” Hubbard said. “It was written in a moment of despair after Robert’s death. It’s really beautiful.”

The group participates in regional competitions to perfect the show. “For those that don’t know, Indiana is, without a doubt, a very hot spot for this activity,” Hubbard said. “I just think there is a lot of talent in the area, so to win a state championship is a big deal.” The group will take its show to the April 3-6 WGI World Competition in Dayton, Ohio. “All I can ask is that they grow and they’re giving their best,” Hubbard said. “That’s what we dictate their success on. They’re so mature and so kind and work well together as a team.” For more, visit fishersband.org/guard/.

COMMUNITY-WIDE LEARNING City, HSE Schools launch CurioCity pilot program By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness understands that quality schools are cover story a major draw for families looking to move to a new community. That’s why he and Hamilton Southeastern Schools Supt. Allen Bourff partnered to create CurioCity, an online portal that provides teachers access to a variety of experiences and opportunities for students, such as guest speakers, panelists, apprenticeships, internships, externships, study trips, project-based learning and service-based learning. Fishers announced the program during the 2018 State of the City. A pilot version has been in the works ever since. Fadness said the community-classroom software concept was born out of the idea of connecting schools with the community. “It truly is a partnership. Dr. Bourff has the schools and we have the community, and we wanted to build a bridge between the two of them,” Fadness said. To launch the partnership, the city paid

$250,000 for KSM Consulting to create software to make resources such as field studies and connections to various organizations available to teachers. HSE Schools will then apply the software. “My team scoured the country trying to find another community doing this and a product they could use, and they couldn’t find anything,” Fadness said. “I do believe we are charting new territory trying to create this.” Bourff said the CurioCity program allows students to develop an appreciation for their community and build upon the natural curiosity kids possess. “We are trying to break the walls of the school into the community so that the community becomes the classroom, representing a place where students can have projects that affect something bigger than themselves,” Bourff said. “It might be a place they can experiment with career aspirations, and take it from people in those careers on how to better prepare themselves for the future.” Educational experiences CurioCity offers for students includes fourth-graders visiting

Conner Prairie to learn about Indiana history from a STEM-based perspective, and sixthgraders visiting the YMCA to complete a field study on wellness and other topics. Fadness said Fishers will benefit from CurioCity in multiple ways. “People swim across oceans to provide their kids a better life than they had, so for me, to attract talent into this community, our school systems have to be noticed as the best school system anywhere for a child,” Fadness said. “We are creating a world-class experience for our kids by le-

veraging the community, and by doing that, we will ensure the long-term sustainability of our city because it’s a No. 1 motivator to ensure your children will have a better life, a better opportunity than you had, so that’s what we are trying create here.” Currently, 617 teachers out of approximately 1,300 within the district are trained on the software. Bourff said he wants all teachers to be trained on the software by the beginning of the 2019-20 school year. For more, visit curiocityhub.com.

Utilizing teachers to further develop CurioCity This summer, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said he expects to hire three to five Hamilton Southeastern Schools teachers to further work with organizations to determine which experiences would be best to include on the CurioCity software. “We have lots of businesses who would love to be engaged with the schools, but what we learned, because we are all new to this, is when we would

talk to these businesses and asked if they were interested, we would tell them to write down 20 ideas on how students can engage in the business, and that’s when we would get blank stares back,” Fadness said. “That’s not what they do for a living. That’s not what businesses spend their time doing, so we learned we need to bring educators into that conversation. Based on that, I think educators will come up with all kinds of ideas.”

ESSAY All or nothing?

LETTER List or no list

Commentary by Terry Anker In 1939, famed lyricist Jack Russell penned what would become a classic American standard for singer Frank Sinatra. In it, Russell demands that if his lover won’t “yield” to him entirely, then he has no interest in continuing the relationship. For him, it is “all or nothing at all.” It seems that brinksmanship is a long-utilized methodology to crush nuance and compromise: “Give me what I want or get out.” American politics is no stranger to an all-or-nothing game of chicken. Elected officials and pundits squawk about the dire consequences of leaving any room for another point of view. Crush the opposition. Demonize them. Litigate! Do it now! Yet, paradoxically, they wax poetic about simpler times when folks would “reach across the aisle” to get work done. Standards are material, and some things rightly cannot be accommodated. But, as we mature into fully formed humans, it becomes clearer that things are not so clear. Our fervent assumptions regarding our own infallibility wane, and we learn that sometimes, the perspectives of others are worthy of consideration. Love and politics are prone to hyperbole and one-sidedness, and social media has exacerbated the affliction. We have come to increasingly live our lives protected from the perspectives of others. Whether we may learn, or even come to agree, is not relevant. We obsess over sameness. Our laws must be identical to those in other states. Our leaders must say what we demand. Plus, our friends and family better give us 100 percent of what we want – or else! Are we so sure that’s what we need? Even if so, who gave us the right to demand it?

Please, don’t Doo it again Commentary by Danielle Wilson Longtime readers will know that my husband’s real name is not “Doo.” The nickname came about after a controverhumor sial 2009 raccoon incident that resulted in him going out on our lawn after midnight with a pellet gun and no shirt, cussin’ up a storm. Being a native Kentuckian and having endured many hillbilly jabs through the years, I immediately went to one of my favorite films, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” about country singer Loretta Lynn and her husband, “Doo.” I bring all of this up because over the weekend we experienced an almost identical scenario to our original Butcher Holler event 10 years ago. I awoke to weird noises outside our bedroom window, at first thinking it was one of our kids and then wondering if the wind was blowing around the porch furniture. When I went to investigate, nothing seemed out of the ordinary; our ferocious guard dog Libby was simply lazing in the

hallway. Ruling out intruders and zombies, I returned to bed but eventually had to wake Doo, who immediately jumped into action. Naked. He soon discovered a giant raccoon skulking along our roofline and began banging on the wall, yelling expletives in a strange voice. Doo then opened the window to try and, I don’t know, scare it? Mind you, this side of our house faces a major road, and he is completely nude, backlit in all his glory. All I could do was giggle. Here we go again. He briefly debated driving to his parents for the gun, just as he did on that fateful night, but thankfully, wisdom prevailed. We both went back to sleep. Yep, that’s my Doo. Peace out.

Editor, Last year, state Sens. John Ruckelshaus and Greg Taylor were discussing support for a hate crimes bill. This year, the bill has been heard in committee hearings and was set to go until an amendment was added deleting the “list” to a “bias” crime bill. I support the latter. In making a list of groups of people to protect from discrimination, most likely someone will be left out unless you add subtitles under the race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, gender identity and the LGBT. Did I get the list correct? Did I include everyone? See how difficult this is? There should be one or two words in the bill to be a “catch-all” for all Hoosiers. Now, speaking of hate, I have never experienced more hateful affiliations, associations, abuse, bullying, lies, threats, harassment, disrespect, hostility, prejudice, animosity, and the list goes on, toward our president. Our president is experiencing the true meaning of hate from a percentage of our American and non-American populace. We should add his name to the list if our Indiana Legislature is going to vote on a “list.” Mari Briggs, Sheridan

Was it my ego, laziness or just a deceptive nature? I had resisted this action for several years, but it was finally time: I humor decided to update my Facebook picture. I also updated my bio pictures on the WISH-TV website. These were not photos of who Dick Wolfsie is; these were photos of who Dick Wolfsie was. In one replaced photo, I was standing in front of Market Square Arena. In another, I was holding my dog, Barney (gone since 2004), and one of me with the late Mayor Bill Hudnut at an Indian’s game at Bush Stadium. Updating my photos caused quite a stir in cyberspace. Classmates I had not heard from in years felt compelled to check with me, asking if I was well: “You looked great for 20 years on Facebook. Not anymore,” said my old buddy, Phil. “I hope it’s nothing serious.” This from an old flame, Carol: “You were always so adorable. What happened? Do you still whistle all the time? Like, how annoying was that on a date? I’m assuming you also stopped shaking your leg. Are you still scatterbrained?” I asked my wife if these memories of me

were accurate. “Yes, you still whistle constantly. Even in the morning when you are working,” Mary Ellen said, “Other than a Disney dwarf, who does that? And, yes, you also bounce your leg when you watch TV.” “OK, but am I still spacey?” “Let’s see. In the last month, you found your cellphone in the neighbor’s garage — twice. You found your car keys in the cat food bag and last night you found your appointment book in the wash.” “Give me some credit. There was a time I couldn’t find anything.” But back to the new Facebook photo. I got so many emails asking, “Are you OK?” that I have already changed it to a close-up of me outside the RCA Dome, where I look a lot younger. As you know, the RCA Dome grew old, so they decided to tear it down and start over. I’m seriously considering that option for myself.

Mallet finger: causes, cures Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui and Lori Cain, OTI “I thought I just jammed it when the basketball hit the tip of my finger.” “I was just pullsports medicine ing the sheets off the bed and felt a pop.” “I believed I just sprained it and it would get better.” “The hammer hit my fingertip instead of nail, and I thought I just smashed it and it would be fine in a few days.” The above are all comments heard from patients that were later diagnosed with a mallet-finger injury. Mallet finger is an injury to the extensor tendon that straightens the end joint of your finger resulting in the inability to straighten the finger. It may be the result of tendon damage with no fracture present or you could have a fracture as a result of the ruptured tendon. If you have an injury and find you’re unable to straighten the tip of your finger, you should seek medical assistance as soon as possible. The sooner you’re diagnosed and splinted in the appropriate position, the better your potential

to heal. If you have an injury that you suspect is mallet finger, first you should ice and elevate your hand to keep swelling down. Second, try to find something to splint your finger straight until you’re able to see an orthopedic physician or go to the emergency department. Occupational therapy is often ordered post diagnosis to fabricate a custom splint to place your finger in hyperextension to maximize healing potential. After healing, occupational therapy can help to provide education and/or home exercises to regain motion and functional strength.

Fishers doctor and son collaborate to write musical about emergency room By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As an emergency room physician, Dr. Jeff Foy often thought the ER would be a perfect setting for a musical musical. “I’m a big theater fan,” the Fishers resident said. “For years, I thought it would be a cool thing to do, but I didn’t have the musical talent to do it, so it was sort of just a pipe dream.” That changed, however, as his son Jacob grew older. “As Jacob became more proficient in writing music, I came to him with the idea, and he said, ‘Let’s do it,’” Foy said. The father-son duo partnered to write the musical “Emergency.” It will be performed three times in the New York Theater Festival in August and is set for an off-Broadway run in 2020. The two started writing when Jacob was a Fishers High School junior. Jacob, a 2017 FHS graduate, is majoring in music at Indiana University. Jacob performed in FHS musicals and joined show choir his sophomore year at FHS. He is now a member of the IU Singing Hoosiers. “Pretty much every step of the way was collaborative,” Jacob said. “We worked together on the book. He did most of the lyrics and I did the music. Even the re-writes of the songs was all a collaborative process.” The first draft was completed in December 2016 and has changed a lot since then, Jacob said. The musical was staged by IU students, who produced, directed and acted in the show at a black box theater at IU in the fall of 2018. “We thought it was terrific,” Foy said. “You can read it and read it, but nothing tells you how it is until you see it up on stage and see how people react. We learned a lot about the show from having people there watching it.” Since that time, the Foys have added a song, cut scenes, changed characters and

cut songs. “We liked it a lot, but we think we’ve made it better now,” Foy said There are two versions. One is two hours and the other is 90 minutes. “It’s a comedy, but there are a lot of touching and sincere moments,” Foy said. “When we wrote it, we wanted it to be in the vein of what we really see in the ER. Our days in the ER are happy and sad. We see life. We see death. We see people at their best and people at their worst. We see strange things and funny things. We wanted a little of that flavor in the show.” Foy said they worked with Tony Awardwinning producer Ken Davenport for 15 months to help find the best route. Foy said they have flown to New York several times to meet with Davenport. The 90-minute version was prepared for this summer’s festival. Foy said they will likely return to the two-hour version

for the off-Broadway run. “The off-Broadway theaters are 100 to 499 seats, and several shows have gone to Broadway from off-Broadway, like ‘Avenue Q,’ ‘Jersey Boys’ and ‘Be More Chill,’” Jacob said. “So, it’s just a step below Broadway.” Foy is fundraising and securing investors. He said they have hired a casting director, Daryl Eisenberg, and will hire a director and then put out a call for the cast. The best part of the project is the times the father and son have shared. “It couldn’t be better,” Foy said. “We get to spend hours writing, laughing and coming up with crazy ideas. Some of the fondest memories we have are the laughing sessions at 2 a.m. in a hotel room in New York because of a crazy idea we have.” For more, visit emergencymusical.com.

IRT presents new version of ’Amber Waves’ editorial@youarecurrent.com Almost 20 years after the full-length version of “Amber Waves” premiered at the Indiana Repertory Theatre in 2000, the heartland drama by IRT’s playwright-in-residence James Still returns to the Upperstage April 2 to 28. Featuring music by Tim Grimm and Jason Wilber, “Amber Waves” follows a year in the life of an Indiana family as they face the prospect of losing their farm. Originally a one-act play, the newest version of “Amber Waves” takes a deeper look at the commitment, struggle and beauty of farm and family life. For Still, the story draws inspiration from his own Midwestern background and the loss of his family farm in Kansas. Returning to the stage will be musician Tim Grimm, who previously played the role of Mike and wrote the original songs and music with Jason Wilber for the 2000 premiere. This time, in addition to the original pieces, Grimm has partnered with multi-instrumentalist Rachel Eddy to create music for the production, which they will play live onstage during each performance.

Address: 12901 Old Meridian St., Carmel What to get: Mexicali BBQ Burger Price: $10 Anna’s take: This burger is a behemoth. When I expressed my concern how to consume it, my best friend wryly said, “If you make a mess, you must be doing it right.” The Mexicali BBQ Burger is a stack of pickled jalapenos, white queso, crunchy fried onions, house chipotle BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato and guacamole on top of a

beef burger. You also can opt for vegetarian options or chicken, but I went all out. It comes with a side of thick-cut steak fries. Suggested pairings: I paired my burger with a Johnny Chapman cider, but Bru Burger Bar has plenty of craft beer options to choose from.

Behind bars: The Lemon Bar Boozy Latte Get it at The Lemon Bar, Zionsville Ingredients: 2 pumps rose Monin syrup, 2 pumps hazelnut Monin syrup, 2 shots espresso, 1.5 oz Pritchard’s Sweet Lucy bourbon cream, foamed almond milk, whipped cream, glitter sprinkles Directions: Add syrup to bottom of the mug, add bourbon cream and espresso and stir. Foam the almond milk, stir into the latte and top with whipped cream and glitter sprinkles.

MSP presents ‘Going Going Gone’ By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Steven Marsh is a veteran stage actor who got his start in community theater nearly 20 years ago in Montitheater cello, Fla. Now, after two decades of being on stage, the Carmel resident is stepping out of his comfort zone to direct Main Street Productions’ presentation of “Going Going Gone,” a comedy centered around four sports journalists in a press box covering a Major League Baseball game. Penned by writer/Major League Baseball announcer Ken Levine, “Going Going Gone” has an eight-show run April 12 through April 28 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32, Westfield. Marsh, who moved to Carmel in 2005, is making his directorial debut. The play has four cast members and explores an array of topics that most everyday people can relate to. “It’s four sportscasters doing their jobs during a single, crazy baseball game, but it’s also about the changing landscape of the news media, the meaning of life and other bigger pictures,” Marsh said. “I love that it’s

Front, from left, Ka’Lena Cuevas (Fishers), Brian Coon (Westfield) and Byron Holmes (Indianapolis) and, back, Bill Buchanan (Westfield) in a scene from “Going Going Gone.” (Submitted photo)

such a modern comedy. Various plot points revolve around cellphones, online dating and the perils of the housing market.” “Experiencing this play gives me the same thrill that I get when I stumble across an episode of ‘MASH’ or ‘Cheers’ I’d forgotten about, where the characters all feel alive, their situations have real stakes, and yet everything is so energetic and funny.” The cast features Hamilton County residents Brian Coon (Westfield), Bill Buchanan (Westfield) and Ka’Lena Cuevas (Fishers), along with Indianapolis resident Byron Holmes. For more or for tickets, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

Couple appears in ‘42nd Street’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Scott Martin met his future wife at a radio glee club, but fell in love during a Rodgers & Hammusical merstein musical. The glee club was part of Dave Smiley’s Morning Show at WZPL. “Jen was in it. I auditioned and got in, met Scott Martin Jen at rehearsal and the world stopped turning,” Martin said. “We then auditioned for the show ‘Oklahoma!’ at Wayne Township Community Theater (in 2011) and we were cast opposite each other as Will Parker and Ado Annie. Through time together and lots of kissing scenes, we quickly fell in love.” The Carmel couple are appearing in “42nd Street” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre April 4 to May 19. “This will be my third show at Beef & Boards and I’m incredibly honored to have the opportunity to work here,” Jen said. “I was in ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ and ‘Elf’ this past holiday season.”

Jen plays Ethel of the chorus girl hopefuls in the musical. “I adore tap dancing, so ‘42nd Street’ has always been on my radar since it’s such an incredible tap show,” Jen said. “I really enjoy this type of role because you have so much room to play. While there are leading characters with lines to tell the story, it is the responsibility of the entire Jen Martin company to create the world these characters exist in. Without having as many details in the script about my character, I get the opportunity to make decisions about who my character is and further develop who Ethel is.” Martin, a 2002 Zionsville High School graduate, is appearing as Pat Denning in “42nd Street.” He previously performed in “42nd Street” in 2007 at the Artists’ Studio in Fishers. The couple have two sons, Will, 3, and Josh, 1 1/2 years old. Jen said they had to make sure doing the show was feasible with double time commitments. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

Christchurch: A resilient New Zealand city Bridge of Remembrance in Christchurch, New Zealand. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Commentary by Don Knebel The recent mosque massacres are the latest of many catastrophes to hit Christchurch. If history is any inditravel cation, this dynamic city of approximately 400,000 on New Zealand’s South Island will come back from its horrors stronger and more united than ever. In 1856, Queen Victoria granted Christchurch a charter, making it New Zealand’s first city. Gothic Revival buildings soon followed in the city center. In 1864, when the city had fewer than 500 male residents, the local Anglican bishop began constructing a cathedral in Cathedral Square. Three times before the iconic Gothic cathedral was completed in 1904, it was damaged by earthquakes that destroyed buildings in the city. In 1947, a fire near the cathedral killed 41 people and destroyed a number of buildings in the area. In September 2010 and again in February, June and December 2011, major earthquakes struck Christchurch, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of buildings and the deaths of 185 people. The tower of the cathedral toppled and the remainder of the church was se-

verely compromised, leading to calls for its demolition. The Bridge of Remembrance, an arch honoring New Zealand’s war dead, was badly damaged. Estimates of the damage from the earthquakes exceeded $20 billion, an average of $50,000 for each resident. Rather than abandoning the center city, government officials decided to rebuild it, with a focus on the future and buildings designed to survive future earthquakes. To accommodate anticipated population growth, the plan contemplates building 50,000 new homes by 2028. The cathedral will be rebuilt at a cost of about $100 million and restored as the seat of the bishop. The government of New Zealand has committed more than $700 million to build and equip new schools. In 2016, the repaired and strengthened Bridge of Remembrance was rededicated as a symbol of the city’s resilience. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
