Hotel Nickel Plate design unveiled By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Browning Investments and Dora Hotel Co. recently unveiled the design for the new Hotel Nickel DEVELOPMENT Plate, a five-story, 75,000-square-foot boutique hotel with 116 room in the southeast quadrant of 116th Street and the Nickel Plate Trail. The hotel will be part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton and will break ground this fall. The Nickel Plate Review Committee unanimously approved the renderings at its March 23 meeting. The Hotel Nickel Plate will feature a full-service restaurant and bar on the first floor and have Nickel Plate Trail access. The design pays homage to the decommissioned Nickel Plate Railroad. The trail is being constructed on the path of the former tracks. The hotel will feature black brick and limestone-colored stone accents. Fishers City Councilor Selina Stoller, who also serves on the Nickel Plate Review Committee, applauded the design. “With the (increase in) international business and more businesses calling Fishers home, we need a boutique hotel in Fishers,” Stoller said. “With the accommodations, this

would provide an experience for business visitors and other visitors visiting Fishers. They’re going to enjoy that type of experience. Fishers has become more of a destination, and we need to meet needs of all visitors. We really feel this fills a gap.” Stoller said the design complemented First International Bank and would be “pleasing” for people walking along the

Nickel Plate Trail. The hotel is part of a master development by Browning announced in December 2018, which includes the new First Internet Bank headquarters, a 237-unit multifamily development called Nickel Plate Station with first-floor retail and the rehabilitation of buildings in downtown Fishers.

2 Democrats run for 5th District U.S. House seat Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Two Democrats are vying to represent Indiana’s 5th District in Congress and will face off in the May 3 primary election. The winner will challenge incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz in November. Read the full Q&As at youarecurrent.com. JEANNINE LEE LAKE Age: 52 Education: Bachelor’s degree in journalism from Ball State University and ABT (all but thesis) completed toward a master’s degree in journalism. Occupation: Journalist Lake of 30-plus years. City: Muncie Immediate family: I am recently single after a 25-plus year marriage. I have four adult children and three grandchildren. Website: Jeannineleelakeforcongress.com Why do you want to run for office? I am a great leader and will be an effective U.S. congresswoman! I love serving people and

enjoy finding solutions. What are your qualifications for this office? I’m an American patriot who loves her country. I will do whatever I can to fight for every American so that we all have equal opportunities and protection under the banner of the Constitution. What are the top three issues that your campaign will focus on? 1) Helping address issues related to the pandemic and finding solutions for those problems. Particularly, economic concerns for small business owners like myself. 2) Healthcare disparities, from high prescription costs to lack of access to affordable healthcare. 3) Reviewing and creating common-sense legislation that targets Red Flag laws and national networking system, but doing so in a way that it does not violate laws that truly respect the Constitutional rights of Hoosier gun-owners. What sets you apart from other candidates for this office? I’m a fighter who stays in the game because I have “skin in the game.” Some people have little to lose if our nation goes the way that Spartz envisions, whether that’s her acceptance of QAnon

conspiracy theories to denying the existence of the January 6 insurrection on our most precious U.S. Capitol. I envision an America that is bright and optimistic and that nation is staunchly built on truth and reality. Something you want people to know about you? I’m a fiscally conservative, socially liberal Christian Democrat. One supporter told me I’m for “God, guns, gays and grandkids!” I liked that! MATTHEW (MATT) L. HALL Age: 50 Education: B.S. in history with a minor in coaching. AA general studies from Eastern Michigan University, De Anza Community College Occupation: ProHall gram lead, Indy Warrior Partnership City: Fishers Immediate family: Daughter, Anna (9); son, Clay (3). Website: matthallforcongress.com Why do you want to run for office? Service. I have learned that service to others is

not only helping others, but it helps me find gratitude. I also want to provide leadership to Congress. I feel that congressional representatives too often forget to represent regular folks in Washington D.C. What are your qualifications for this office? 28 years of military service and leadership. I have set up nonprofits and programs that are designed to serve others. What are the top three issues that your campaign will focus on? Mental and behavioral health. Crime reduction, financial health, career improvement, etc. Economy and infrastructure. Main Street America — supporting small businesses, police and fire departments and people. What sets you apart from other candidates for this office? My life has been about service for others. I have zero designs on improving my financial means. I didn’t join the military or start nonprofits to make money. I truly aspire to help as many people as I can. Something you want people to know about you? I’m a regular guy. No frills. People are tired of divisive politics and ready for us to take on tough issues.

HSE graduate earns NCAA honor By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Wabash College senior guard Jack Davidson might have earned the highest accolade. BASKETBALL But the credit has to be shared with his talented teammates and coaches, he said. “The focus couldn’t always be on me because we had so many guys that could score the ball,” he said. The 2017 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate earned the Jostens Trophy Award as the NCAA Division III Most Outstanding Men’s Basketball Player for the season. Davidson, who averaged with 25.5 points a game, also led Division III in free throws made with 210 and 3-pointers with 123. “That award was awesome to get,” Davidson said. “It was one of my goals coming into the season.” The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Davidson helped lead Wabash (28-4) to the semifinals for the NCAA Division III Tournament before losing to Elmhurst University 90-68 March 18 in Fort Wayne. That ended a program-record

24-game winning streak. It was the first time Wabash had reached the semifinals since winning the national championship in 1982. Wabash won the North Coast Athletic Conference regular-season title for the first time since joining in 1999 and also won the conference tournament. Davidson shot a career-best of 53 percent from the field and 48.2 percent from 3-point range. His 90.9 percent shooting from the free throw line was the second-best of his college career. He shot 93.1 percent as a sophomore.

The unemployment rate was 1.33 percent in Hamilton County in November 2021 after hitting a high of 4.71 percent in 2020. “There is a bit of a disturbing trend in labor force participation across the country, but not as severe in Hamilton County,” said Joel Simon, vice president of workforce development for Emsi Burning Glass, a labor market analytics firm. “We are going to face a bit of a challenge in providing all the services we need and want with what amounts to a shrinking labor force.” Simon said before the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment was low. Nationally, unemployment was 3.5 percent shortly before the pandemic began. Simon said more baby boomers are starting to leave the workforce. Part of that generation started reaching retirement age around 2002 and keeps growing. “We are about half a million workers shy of where we were (nationally) when the pandemic started,” Simon said. “We need 2.9

million more people working today than we have currently.” Simon said additional workers have often come through immigration in the past. “Fewer people are entering the country,” Simon said. “That decline was happening before the pandemic and it’s been exacerbated during the pandemic. We have to think about the people we have overseas and the disengaged people. Who do we have now (who) is not actively looking for work but could theoretically join the labor force?” Simon said a lot of 16- to 19-year-olds are not joining the labor force. “People often ask me, how are people that have left the labor force affording to be able to continue their lifestyle?” Simon said. Simon said a recent survey shows how those people are paying expenses. “A great number of people are maxing out credit cards, taking loans or cashing in retirement accounts to be able to remain out of the workforce,” Simon said. “A small number are borrowing from family or friends, and an even smaller number are relying from payments they are getting from the government.” For the full story, visit youarecurrent.com.

Carmel guard Clarke earns All-Star spot despite short season By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School senior basketball player Kate Clarke made the best of a shortened senior season. Clarke suffered a back injury at the end of last summer and began the rehabbing process. She returned to play in 13 games, averaging 11.7 points on 50 percent shooting from the field. The 6-foot-1 guard scored 18 points or more in six of her last seven games for Carmel (15-8). “Kate came back and found herself fitting into our offense and the flow of the game very effectively,” Greyhounds coach Erin Trimpe said. “She has a natural skill set that puts her in a good position to make a difference in the game. She gave herself some time and with limited minutes (and found) her comfort and groove to finish out the season.” Clarke said it was a struggle to get back in playing form. “With all the girls surrounding me, it was easy to get back on the court,” Clarke said. “By the end, I was able to get back in the groove and we just came up short in

Kate spends a lot of time in the gym working on her individual skills and working to improve her game.” Clarke said she is training and staying in shape to get ready for the All-Star games and then Michigan. “During the season, I was thinking about getting my back healthy and to be careful,” Clarke said. “Ultimately, my goal is to get to Michigan healthy.” Clarke will be joined by Westfield senior and fellow Michigan recruit Alyssa Crockett on the Indiana Girls All-Stars. “Michigan has kind of a home feel,” Clarke said. “I kind of sensed that when I got there for my official and unofficial visit. It’s important for me to stay closer to home so my mom can go to games. The girls are great, that’s the main thing that attracted me to Michigan. It’s obviously a great school, so I couldn’t pass that opportunity up.”

Extending Hoosier hospitality Commentary by Gov. Eric J. Holcomb As the world watches Vladimir Putin relentlessly attack Ukraine, killing children and civilians, bombing a maternity ward, firing on a nuclear energy plant and COLUMN bombarding Mariupol, among other cities, Hoosiers are sending prayers. Those include mine. But our Hoosier humanitarian efforts will extend far beyond the ongoing prayers and community vigils. I’m traveling this week to Slovakia and part of my mission is to visit a refugee camp with Adjutant Gen. Maj. Gen. R. Dale Lyles to learn firsthand what Hoosiers can do to help. In the meantime, I met with Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova, and she requested: • Federal assistance to secure more military equipment • Humanitarian aid and supplies, such as gas and oil and first aid kits • A statement of support of Ukraine and condemnation of Russia • Ceasing of Indiana investments in Russian stocks or bonds • Indiana businesses to halt operations with Russian entities I shared with her that Indiana is unequivocally standing with, by and for a free Ukraine and would address each of her requests. We have already taken these steps: • Proceeded with divesting of more than $147 million in state government investments that have Russian interest. • Verified no public universities offer Russian-funded programs. • Supported the Indiana Gaming Commission in its suspension of leagues with Russian and Belarussian ties from the approved events for sports wagering. • Offered to temporarily or permanent-

ly house screened and processed Ukrainian refugees should the U.S government need a safe haven for them. • Offered to house and train the Ukrainian Summer Olympic Team. • Asked all Hoosiers doing business in Russia to consider the moral ramifications during such a volatile time. Indiana companies have stepped up. Eli Lilly has moved a million doses of insulin into Poland, ready to make its way into Ukraine and halted exports of nonessential medicines to Russia. Franciscan Health hospitals have collected and sent more than 100,000 pounds of medical supplies and Cummins indefinitely suspended the company’s commercial operations in Russia. Our efforts alone won’t be enough, but we will contribute. Indeed, the world must be clear in words and even more so in actions. America must be a full partner in the EU mission to impose economic and individual sanctions against Putin’s killing machine. In my opinion, Russia’s “most favored nation” status was forfeited when it invaded Ukraine and threatened nuclear and chemical war. Only four nations occupy official state-sponsored terrorism status — North Korea, Syria, Iran and Cuba. After weeks of targeting civilians, Russia should make it five. In Putin’s last days, he must know the free world will continue to answer Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for more humanitarian and political support. The free world must do whatever it takes for however long it takes. For the full column, visit youarecurrent.com.

mittees set up during my career to improve the administration of justice and serving as judge pro tem when requested by the current elected judges.

Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Age: 52 Education: Bachelor of Arts in political science, IU 1993; Bachelor of Science in criminal justice, IU 1993; Juris Doctorate, IU School of Law Indianapolis, 1997 Murphy (Now the IU McKinney School of Law) Occupation: Magistrate judge City of residence: Fishers Immediate family: Elizabeth, wife; Brooke, daughter (32); Zachary, son (28); Morgan, daughter (24); Eila, daughter (9) Previous political experience: The magistrate judge position I currently hold is an appointed position, so running for judge of the new Hamilton Superior Court 7, which becomes operational on Jan. 1, 2023, is my first campaign for an elected position. Website: DarrenMurphyForJudge.com. Why do you want to run for office? My ultimate career goal has always been to become a judge. The new Hamilton Superior Court 7 will be assigned to the courtroom where I currently preside and already have well-established relationships. It feels like the most natural possible progression to an elected judicial position. What are your qualifications for this office? As magistrate judge, I currently handle every case type which will be assigned to Superior Court 7. There is nothing that will be assigned to the new court that I haven’t already handled as magistrate judge, in the same courtroom, with the same staff. I am the only candidate that has the requisite judicial training and acquired experience, which will allow me to have the new court up and running on day one. What sets you apart from other candidates for this office? I am the only candidate with judicial experience. At the time the new Superior Court 7 becomes operational, I will have a five-year history of running the very courtroom where it will be assigned and with the same staff. I am also the only candidate that has been endorsed by the county’s law enforcement fraternal order of police.

DARREN J. MURPHY

Two candidates are vying to become the first elected judge of Hamilton County Superior Court 7, a new court that will become operational Jan. 1, 2023. Republicans Stephenie Gookins, an attorney and partner at Terry & Gookins, and Darren Murphy, a Hamilton County magistrate judge, will face off in the May 3 primary.

I have diverse experience in criminal law (21-year public defender), family law, as well as other areas such as appeals, disability, guardianships, small claims and civil litigation.

I have been a private practitioner in the areas of law that will fill this court’s docket. Second, I am a business owner. I have run the day-to-day operations of a small business, including budgeting and human resources, while running a busy law practice.

Fishers resident recalls father who spent four years in a concentration camp and survived the Holocaust By Chris Bavender news@currentinfishers.com Marvin Crell lived the American dream. That’s what Steve Crell would want people to know about his father, who died in 2020 at age 88. “You can arrive in this country with little to nothing, not even speak the language, and you can prosper and give back to your community,” Steve said. The Fishers resident also wants people to know his father was a resilient man. He survived the Holocaust, enduring four years in a concentration camp, but never once dwelled on his past. April is Holocaust Rememberance month. “Through resilience, he put his past behind him and went on to become a productive member of society who held no bitterness, but took inspiration from hard work,” Steve said. Marvin was born in Poland and grew up in a town called Khotyn. Today, that city is in Ukraine. During World War II, it was a large Jewish community on the border. Marvin was 8 when the war started. As the war progressed, families in his town were forced by the Nazis to take what they could carry and were marched to a concentration camp. Each day, they walked 10 to 20 miles, Marvin recounted in an interview in 1990 with the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation as part of a project documenting the testimonies of Holocaust survivors residing in the Fort Wayne area. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum received a copy of the interview in May 1991. It took three months to get to the concentration camp in Ukraine, where the villagers were forced to live in a warehouse with numerous other families, sleeping on a cold, hard floor on straw mats. “He talked about how resourceful he and his brother had to be in order to survive. He talked about the importance of staying healthy to avoid being killed,” Steve said. “He talked about burying bodies of those who were too weak or too sick to work. It is incredible that his entire family made it out alive.” But Marvin didn’t like to talk too much about his time in the concentration camp. When Steve or his brother, Jeff, would ask what it was like, he was vague. He had only a few photos from childhood to share with his sons. “I’m sure he didn’t want us to think of him in such dire surroundings and didn’t want us to dwell on what he experienced,” Steve said. “Rather than being proud of his survival, I think he felt guilt over those who didn’t survive. He really didn’t want to recount his prior life, in photos or otherwise.” After four years, Marvin and his family were liberated. They went to Romania and then to Paris awaiting a chance to move to the U.S. Eventually, the family arrived in the U.S. and settled in Fort Wayne. Steve’s cousin, Charles Bosin, remembers meeting Marvin for the first time at a family gathering.

“Despite his horrible experiences, my dad was a very happy and generous person throughout his adult life,” Steve said. “He became a very successful attorney, but he always preached about keeping a low profile, staying humble and always giving the next generation a chance to succeed and fulfill their dreams, as he got to do when he arrived here. He never once dwelled on his past. By the same token, he never wanted to go back to visit his homeland, even though he could have. I did attend a World Holocaust Memorial Reunion in Israel in 1980, where I saw my dad break down in tears as he recited prayers for those that died in the Holocaust. There is no question all of those memories had surfaced for him there, but he didn’t seem to bring that back home with him.” Steve paid tribute to his father Jan. 27 in a blog for the City of Fishers on Holocaust Remembrance Day, an annual day of remembering and honoring those who perished and those who survived the Holocaust. “My dad and his family lived through unspeakable horrors, yet somehow they all survived,” he said. “I think an experience like that created an unbreakable bond and taught them the value of family and life itself. I think my dad and his family celebrated every day like it was a gift and they taught the same values to my brother Jeff and me with our frequent and consistent family meals and celebrations.” ON THE COVER: Steve Crell, a Fishers resident, is the son of Marvin Crell, who spent four years in a concentration camp during the Holocaust.

“I had been told by my future mother-in-law stories about how they had first met after the family had resettled in America,” Bosin said. “I was not surprised by her first impressions of trying to comprehend the hell that these people had encountered.” Marvin lost his childhood in the camp, Bosin said. “To survive, he had to have reached into his most inner self to find a way to cope with a world that was crashing around him — often on an hourly basis,” Bosin said. “I did not ask many questions out of respect. Members of my own family had similar experiences. My great-grandmother was starved in a ghetto in Kishinev, Romania, and died while on a death march.” It was difficult to hear what Holocaust survivors like Marvin lived through, Bosin said. “At a certain point, you just knew to let them have some peace and try to live a normal life again,” he said. “Marvin had a wonderful outlook on life, highly optimistic and often remarked that he was grateful for the life he was able to build for himself and his immediate family.” And it is that optimism and bright outlook on life that Steve remembers most about his father.

HUMOR

Teaching moments?

Giving kids ‘the talk’

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The cliché goes, “Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.” Like most aphorisms, it is true on its face with little consideration. We get cut off on the highway as someone realizes too late that their exit is upon them. We get displaced from our chosen airplane or event seat because a late arriver wants to sit next to a relative or friend. We miss the start of the movie because the customer ahead of us in line seems to have overlooked that their wallet would be needed to complete the transaction. And we come to a dead stop in the roundabout as the driver in front has to stop and consider which way they intend to go — in fact, some good fellow citizens stop and back up to get to their chosen venue, apparently not aware of the no-beginning and noend nature of these traffic circles. Still, we live in a civil society. And many of us take great steps to show deference and respect for our fellow humans. We are unlikely to wear profane graphic T-shirts in public and we still can be found holding the door for those, regardless of gender, entering behind us. Does our attempt to do unto others inadvertently lead to a dependence by them upon our good nature? Do they become intentionally atrophied at showing up on time, expecting dispensation because they truly have come to believe in their own superiority? One might imagine so, given the abject look of horror to possess the countenance of the poor planner when we don’t freely offer to share our wine with them at the concert. It seems they forgot to bring any, again. When, if ever, is it right to push back, to teach a lesson, or to hold our ground?

For the past couple years, my teacher neighbor (also a Mrs. Wilson) and I have given a spring break lecture to our students about making good choices. When faced with a tough decision, they’re to consider the question, “What would Wilson say?” We have PowerPoints, a spot on the weekly news roundup, even “WWWS?” bracelets. We’re basically legends. Our advice is practical: wear sunscreen, use the buddy system, avoid incarceration, etc. But I personally like to add a bit about vacation romance. “Beware the SB fling,” I caution. “It will most likely end in heartbreak.” On the other hand, I tell them they might just find their soulmate and eventually wind up with four children, a mortgage and a bald spouse. The kids find this hilarious, especially when I explain that I’m speaking from personal experience. Yes! This is a true story of love at first sight. I met my husband, Doo, when I was a senior in high school during spring break. We were in a tiny Bahamian town, Doo with his family, and I with my wealthy bestie. Miraculously, he called the week after we returned, and the rest is history. So, yeah, we stress the importance of agency in our annual talk. Students have to make their own decisions, hopefully after weighing all the pros and cons. If they opt to forgo Coppertone SPF 50, they need to be prepared for a nasty sunburn. Decide to swim alone? Shark bait. And if they choose to flirt with the cute guy at the pool, they should be ready for a short-lived relationship. Or, perhaps, a marriage proposal. “WWWS?” Make good choices! Peace out.

Motion 4 Life Fitness: An oasis of health and fitness Commentary by Bruce Dean I first met Tom in the early ’90s. A young idealist helping inner-city youth achieve their potential. I owned a graphic EXERCISE design firm at the time and helped Tom create a logo and branding image for his youth development venture, Creative Leadership Group. Flash forward about 20 years, and I got a call from my old friend about a new concept to help an entirely different group of people. This idea was the dream of his sister, Carol Weesner, an emergency physician. You may recognize the family name Weesner. Their father, Dr. Gary Weesner, was superintendent of Washington Township Schools and later started the Ruth Lilly Center for Health Education. Their mom, Doris, was actively involved in PEO and Tri Kappa. It is little wonder where their devotion to service came from. Through her daily work, Dr. Weesner saw firsthand the impact of not exercising. Patients came to the ER and didn’t return home to independent living. Her research showed older adults want to prevent something bad from happening and to gain control of their bodies and health. Equally important, folks want to participate in life in a meaningful way but are intimidated by gyms and don’t know what to do. The result? Carol’s passion to create a clean, inviting place where older adults feel welcome and safe with highly qualified trainers was forged. I was fortunate to be asked to help with the branding of this cool project. Tom and

Carol had been improving people’s lives for years, and this new concept was another exciting opportunity to make a difference. After a fun search for the right name, Motion 4 Life Fitness was born. In January of 2018, M4L opened its doors and started changing lives. People join to feel better — to be able to bike on vacation, garden without pain or just keep up with the grandkids. I believe many want to get healthy not just for themselves, but also for their spouses, kids and grandkids. More important, these 40- to 90-plus year-olds feel safe with a doctor at the helm and specialized trainers who truly understand the aches and pains of older bodies and the mental and emotional challenges of the fitness journey. One last thing. I heard a new member asking if staff know every member’s name. Absolutely. Whether it is a handshake, a handwritten note or a greeting by name, this staff understands that treating people with respect and a smile is as important as a good workout. It truly feels like a family. I’ve enjoyed being part of M4L’s journey. It truly is ahead of its time. Doing something good and positive for others is contagious and oh, so rare! I believe that the best is yet to come for Carol and Motion 4 Life Fitness!

Painful, stiff joints make it hard to get moving but moving is exactly what is needed for pain relief. For maximum benefits, you should try to walk at a moderate pace for at least 30 minutes every day. If 30 minutes is too much, start with less time and work up gradually.

Noblesville resident teaches yoga at Prairie Guest House By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Richell Vaughn had been practicing yoga for about six years before deciding to pursue her teaching certifiWELLNESS cate for yoga in December 2017. Less than five years later, Vaughn has launched her own yoga practice to help clients find “mindfulness.” Vaughn’s practice, Enlightened Yoga and Wellness, conducts classes at the historic Prairie Guest House in Fishers. She collaborated with Prairie Guest House owners John and Karen Newton to revive the space and open the studio, which offers a variety of classes. “When I (pursued the teaching certificate), there was just so much to share I wasn’t even aware of,” said Vaughn, a Noblesville resident. “I didn’t go much past poses and things, so once I started doing teacher training, it blew my mind, and I knew there was a lot more to share.” When she earned her teaching certificate, she began teaching at Noblesville Athletic Club before working at Body Mind Core in Carmel. She then taught at Honor Yoga Fishers. “I had formed a little tribe (of clients) and did my best to keep them together,” Vaughn said. “(During the pandemic), we moved to my backyard and then to Morse Reservoir and practiced outside as long as we could.”

Vaughn then rented space at a dance studio before relocating to the Prairie Guest House. Vaughn said one of the pleasures of being a yoga instructor is watching students “grow beyond the pose.” “Every pose represents something happening in the body, energy moving through the body and learning how our body feels and trying to find that mind-body connection,” Vaughn said. “I’m trying to get people to slow down long enough (so) they can hear what’s happening in their body. “If I can teach students to listen to their body to learn to breathe and listen to their breath, they can calm down and we can attack high blood pressure and diseases.” For more, visit enlightenedyogaandwellness.com.

DISPATCHES Finding at-home jobs — For job seekers wanting to work from home, the internet is full of scams. There are so many spam postings that it’s tiring to sort through them for legitimate opportunities. Two websites do a pretty good job of screening their postings. Flexjobs.com does charge a small fee, about $50 per year to access its database of listings. RatRaceRebellion.com is free to but is fairly legitimate. Source: BottomLineInc.com Look for dividend-paying stocks -- Dividend-paying stocks tend to hold up better than the overall market during volatile times and economic slowdowns. But many large-cap, blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains the past year,

so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better defensive strategy is to invest in dividend-paying medium-sized companies -- those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10 billion. Their businesses are mature enough to pay reliable dividends but still have the ability to grow much faster than large companies. Also, their stocks are bigger bargains. To find attractive dividend-paying, mid-cap stocks, look for companies with steady recurring revenues, little or no debt, leading market positions in their niches and strong enough cash flow to increase dividends at least 10 percent annually for the next five years. Dividend growth is the best indication that earnings are growing and that management believes they will continue to grow. Source: BottomLineInc.com

Five-time Grammy winner to perform in concert By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director Janna Hymes has long wanted to perform with double bassist MUSIC Edgar Meyer. “Edgar Meyer has won multiple Grammys and he is someone I have admired for years,” Hymes said. “We were students at the Aspen Music Festival many years ago and his experience as a versatile and virtuosic musician is legendary.” Meyer, who has won five Grammy Awards, was set to perform with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra March 14, 2020, but the performance was canceled because of the pandemic lockdowns. Meyer will finally appear with the CSO at 7:30 p.m. April 23 in the Masterworks 5 concert at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “We have been performing regularly and have our fingers crossed that the pandemic is behind us, yet we are optimistically cautious,” Hymes said. “This concert means a lot because of the music on the program and the quality of the playing the orchestra has been delivering lately. We have been performing in various ways throughout the past two years and now that our schedules have aligned, we can finally present this concert with Edgar Meyer.” Meyer will perform during “Bottesini Concerto No 2 in B minor” and “Edgar Meyer Concerto in Double Bass in D.” “Several years ago, Edgar released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba and double bass — simply a remarkable demonstration of musical mastery,” Hymes said. Meyer said he doesn’t have a favorite piece in the Masterworks concert. “I’m just glad to be playing,” he said. Meyer said he has never been busier than he has been the past six to eight months as more concert venues return to normal scheduling. “I am ready for a breather,” he said.

Meyer has had several memorable collaborations with singer-songwriter Chris Thile, a duo with Béla Fleck; a quartet with Joshua Bell, Sam Bush and Mike Marshall; a trio with Fleck and Marshall; and a trio with Yo-Yo Ma and Mark O’Connor. “Collaboration is fundamental to my musical life,” Meyer said. “I could give a hundred examples, but I will stick to a couple.

Soma Coffeehouse and Juice Bar has three locations in Bloomington and offers a variety of coffee, pastries and a delicious iced Americano called a Swamp Thing. (Photo by Rachel Greenberg)

Soma Coffeehouse and Juice Bar Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Three locations in Bloomington What to get: Swamp Thing Price: $4.20 for 12 oz.

Anna’s take: With three locations in the college town, Soma Coffeehouse and Juice Bar is tough to miss when visiting Bloomington. The shops are incredibly cozy, especially the 3rd Street location. There are lots of plants and an aquarium made to look like an old TV. One of my favorite items at Soma is Swamp Thing, an iced Americano with mint and soy milk. The mint is subtle, making the beverage an excellent energizing treat for the warm summer days ahead. Also, the majority of Soma’s pastries are made in-house, so be sure to try something sweet when you visit.

Behind bars: Prohibition Punch Created by local mixologist Brett Butler Ingredients: 1 oz. Appleton Estate Rum, 1 oz. Plantation Dark Rum, .75 oz. Marie Brizard Parfait Amour Liqueur, 2 oz. mango passion fruit juice, 1 oz. cran-raspberry juice, squeeze of lemon, Prosecco, lemon and orange twist for garnish Directions: Add all ingredients but the Prosecco to a mixing tin with ice and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, and strain contents into a brandy snifter with ice. Top with Prosecco and garnish with a lemon and orange twist.

A splintering of language Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Interior of Hoosier Gym in Knightstown. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Experiencing Hoosier Hysteria in Henry County Commentary by Don Knebel Today, we visit Henry County, where two facilities celebrate “Hoosier Hysteria.” Hoosier Gym in Knightstown, TRAVEL built in 1921 and expanded in 1936, was originally used by Knightstown High School basketball teams. When a new school opened in 1966, the facility sat idle until 1985, when it became the home gym of the fictional “Hickory Huskers” in “Hoosiers,” inspired by tiny Milan’s 1954 victory in the IHSAA state championship game against much larger Muncie Central. One-third of the scenes were filmed in the gym and its basement locker room. The gym was saved from demolition in 1988 and is operated as a nonprofit museum, looking almost as it did in the movie, with an autographed photograph of the fictional team hanging beside the “GO HICKORY” banner. Hoosier Gym, open to the public at no charge, hosts about 80 basketball games each year, with team jerseys hung in the locker room. The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame is in New Castle, about 15 miles north of Knightstown. The 14,000-square-foot facility, opened in 1990, honors Hoosier men, women and teams that have distinguished themselves on or around the basketball court. Visitors can search by name, school or year for Hall of Fame inductees, all of whom are pictured in the “Enshrinement Hall.” Special exhibits honor John Wooden, Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird and the 1954 Milan Indians. Memorabilia of championship

I have already gotten a splinter or two while gardening during this brief season, but have you ever come across a splinter word? No, a splinter GRAMMAR GUY word isn’t any word involving wood; in fact, a splinter is part of a larger word used in forming a new “splinter” word. Take -holic, for example. An alcoholic suffers from an addiction to alcohol. For the sake of the example, let’s take the splinter -holic. It doesn’t stand alone as its own word, but when someone talks about being a “shopaholic” or “pizzaholic,” we know what the other person means. The “-holic” splinter denotes a dependence on something. Here’s another splinter: -tainment. We know that “entertainment” is something created or performed for the amusement of others. However, on its own, -tainment isn’t a word. It’s a splinter. So, when we see words like “edutainment,” “eatertainment,” and “shoppertainment,” we know that those words relate to things that are created for your amusement.

Along those lines, would “intertainment” be entertainment designed specifically for the internet? Note that splinters are not suffixes. In the previous example, “-tainment” isn’t a suffix, although “-ment” is a suffix having to do with an action or the result of an action. Many splinter words begin as slang and then creep into text messages, conversations and even the seventh hour of the “Today Show.” If you’ve heard the word “mansplain,” that happens when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way. A “mockumentary” is a documentary that is purposefully poking fun at the traditional documentary film style. We see how these splinters form new words. What other splinters can you think of? I’d hate to grammarsplain this topic into the ground.

Exhibits allow visitors to try to sink the winning shot or block shots by Oscar Robertson and Stephanie White. One exhibit shows the many schools (including mine) that once played Indiana basketball but are now closed. For anyone with interest in Indiana basketball, a visit to Hoosier Gym and the Hall of Fame is a must.
