Mt. Vernon senior guard achieves dream of being Indiana All-Star By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Since he was little, Amhad Jarrard wanted to be an Indiana All-Star. “It was a dream come true for me,” Amhad said of being named to the Indiana Boys All-Star team. “It was a goal throughout high school.” Indiana will play Kentucky in the annual series June 10 at Owensboro, Ky., and June 11 at Southport High School in Indianapolis. Amhad averaged 14.6 points on 63 percent shooting, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals last season. His twin brother, Armon, averaged a team-high 16.3 points on 57 percent shooting, including 49 percent from 3-point range. Amhad typically plays shooting guard and 6-foot-3 Armon plays point guard. The brothers, who were threeyear starters, are headed to play together at IUPUI. “The biggest improvement I made was getting my teammates involved and being more of a leader and being able to score when I had for the team,” Amhad said. “Overall, my confidence went up. Coach
MEET AHMAD JARRARD
Favorite athlete: LeBron James Favorite subject: Math Favorite movie: “He Got Game” and “Poetic Justice” College plans: Major in finance at IUPUI (Ben) Rhoades kept telling me to keep going, get everyone involved and do you.” Amhad made 71 percent of his two-point shots. “That’s almost unheard of,” Rhoades said. “Amhad is very athletic. He’s probably one of the four or five best dunkers in the state.

It’s hard to quantify all the things he’s done for us over the last three years. He always could have scored more points, but I’d say this about he and his brother, they really wanted to win. “They’re kind of a coach’s dream in that they are calm. You almost want them to
have a little more fire at times.” Mt. Vernon finished 22-3 this season, winning its second consecutive sectional title. “We played together as a team and came together to get big wins in a lot of close games,” Amhad said. Rhoades said the Marauders wouldn’t have won 39 games the past two seasons without the brothers’ contributions. “They’re so versatile you can use them anywhere you want to,” Rhoades said. “They’re a problem for other teams guarding (them).” Amhad said he and his brother support each other. “We push each other a lot,” Amhad said. “When I see he’s not doing good in games, I say, ‘You got to get something going.’” Amhad said they were prepared to play at different colleges. “We thought we were going to go separate ways,” Amhad said. But when IUPUI offered scholarships to both, they decided to continue playing together. “I want to improve my catch-and-shoot, my pull-up jump shot and make it more efficient,” Amhad said.

Common cybersecurity attacks Commentary by Swan Security Team Today, cybersecurity is more important than ever. Cybersecurity crimTECHNOLOGY inals are increasingly active, and the risk of your business being compromised by a malicious attack is quite high. Bad actors will typically gain access to your network using a few basic techniques. Let’s look at the most common security attacks. PHISHING Phishing attacks can vary, but they almost always involve one’s email inbox. These phishing emails contain malicious attachments or links that typically trigger the download of a script that assists hackers in gaining access to your environment. It can cause security breaches in your network, which can be easily exploited by malicious actors when they use it to steal valuable information such as employee’s personal information, customer’s information, credit card information, etc. Do not download attachments or follow links from someone you don’t know or from whom you aren’t expecting anything.
STOLEN CREDENTIALS Many applications and services require authentication through the submission of a pair of credentials. The most common form is an email address and password. How can one avoid having their credentials stolen? One important way to protect credentials is to never use your work credentials or work email to log in to any nonwork-related services. Also, try not to use similar or exact passwords elsewhere.

“life untethered one meal at a time”
Choose to Move fundraiser set By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Noblesville resident Addie Cunningham, she views it a privilege to EVENT serve people with Parkinson’s disease through her role as the Indiana Parkinson Foundation program director. “The passion and fire inside me to support those with Parkinson’s disease started after my dad’s (Noblesville resident Don Waterman) diagnosis in 2008,” said Cunningham, whose family founded the nonprofit. “I have learned so much about the disease, how it affects not only the person with the disease, but also the family. Parkinson’s is a very debilitating and isolating disease and can leave the person with Parkinson’s and their family feeling very alone and helpless. That is why the Indiana Parkinson Foundation exists. Cunningham said the IPF’s Choose to Move Race to Beat Parkinson’s was started in 2013 to expand outreach and awareness to support those living with Parkinson’s disease. The 10th annual Choose to Move run/walk

HSE and Fishers high schools see increase in boys volleyball participation, IHSAA begins process to sanction sport BECOMING AN IHSAASANCTIONED SPORT
Fishers High School boys volleyball team participation is climbing. (Photo by Rachel Greenberg)
By Les Morris news@currentinfishers.com Volleyballs aren’t the only thing being spiked by boys in Hamilton Southeastern Schools’ two high schools, Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern. Participation rates in the club sport are spiking as the sport gains popularity and bids to become an Indiana High School Athletic Association-sanctioned sport. Hamilton Southeastern High School coach Jon Harmon was scrambling to field a varsity squad when he returned to the school in 2018 for a second turn as boys volleyball coach after a 10-year run at Carmel High School, where his teams earned three Indiana Boys Volleyball Coaches Association state championships. Eight seniors were on that 2018 spring roster and were playing their first year of club volleyball. This season, there are no first-year seniors. Harmon had to cut nine players this year, the first time he has had to trim the numbers by that much. Thirty-five boys play on three teams (two junior varsity and a varsity team) at HSE. The program is flourishing at the high school level. The team has a 14-3 record this year and a junior high feeder program has been established, too. “Not every kid can make the basketball team,” Harmon said. “They need an outlet, a need to represent their school, and boys volleyball is a great opportunity for that.” Moreover, Harmon said the sport itself is attractive. “The game is played above the net. It’s an explosive sport,” Harmon said. “The boys understand how much fun it is.” It’s the same story at Fishers High School, where Carlos Capo heads the program. The Tigers have won the last two state championships, held in 2019 and 2021. Former player Aaron Hernandez is playing NCAA Division I volleyball at Ball State University, historically one of the nation’s top men’s collegiate programs.
At FHS, 51 boys are playing on four teams (freshman, two junior varsity and a varsity team). In 2015, there were only 22 players in the program. The varsity team sports an 11-5 record and, like Hamilton Southeastern, is one of the top-ranked teams in the state. Capo said boys volleyball has been “exploding” in popularity the last two years, and like Harmon, he sees the nature of the sport as the reason. “It’s a competitive sport in a team environment,” he said. “And especially in bigger high schools you have kids that don’t have a spring sport, and this gives them a chance to represent their high school in a team sport.” Capo said the pandemic didn’t hamper the growth. “When everything was shut down, all you needed was a volleyball and you could play with friends outdoors, so I’m sure that helped as well,” he said. The social nature of volleyball is often cited as one of its most attractive attributes. Harmon and Capo, who are good friends, credit their respective athletic departments with tremendous support for an endeavor that, while representing the school, doesn’t have varsity status. “A ton of credit to the Hamilton Southeastern athletic department,” Harmon said. “(Athletic directors) Jim Self and Greg Habegger and the entire administration has been incredibly supportive of the program. Whatever we ask for, we receive.” Harmon said girls volleyball head coach Jason Young has also been willing to share equipment and resources. The future appears bright for boys volleyball. Next month the IHSAA will vote whether to designate it as an “emerging sport,” which is the first step to becoming an IHSAA-sanctioned sport. ON THE COVER: Kevin Burks plays on the Fishers High School boys volleyball team. (Photo by Rachel Greenberg)
The road to boys volleyball becoming an IHSAA-sanctioned sport begins on the north side of Indianapolis May 2. It is there, at the association’s headquarters, where the organization’s board of directors will decide whether to declare boys volleyball an “emerging sport,” per its bylaws. The two-step test to meet the “emerging sport” designation is simple. First, there needs to be at least 20 participating high schools playing the sport. There are currently 54 high schools with boys volleyball club teams. Second, the board needs to have letters of support, which have been received. If designated an “emerging sport,” boys volleyball will be assigned to an assistant IHSAA commissioner, and the dialogue with coaches on rules, playing seasons and other details would begin, all with the goal of getting the sport “recognized” by the IHSAA. To become a “recognized” sport, IHSAA bylaws mandate that 150 IHSAA-member schools must participate, with 40 from each of the association’s three districts. There are 407 high schools in the IHSAA. Twenty states sanction boys volleyball as an official sport with a state championship, and the number keeps growing. Utah, Delaware and Ohio have all sanctioned the sport this year, with the Buckeye state recognizing it last month. “We’re going to continue to provide sources for growth with the hope in a few short years it could become a recognized sport and then we would offer a state tournament in that sport,” IHSAA Commissioner Paul Neidig said. Neidig said boys volleyball has become more popular throughout Indiana, especially in central Indiana, and in pocket in the northwest part of the state.

ESSAY
HUMOR
Pandemic’s fault?
Not sure I had fun
Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
“Children as young as 8 should be screened for anxiety,” so says the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Claiming that the pandemic has exacerbated an already expanding problem among young people, the Wall Street Journal, reporting on the development, draws several connections to COVID-19 restrictions, and intuition may suggest that there is a correlation. But the data is still being accumulated to fully explain the increases in mental debilitation among youngsters, including significant increases in suicides. The Task Force cited 78 studies but still held insufficient evidence to draw broader conclusions or warnings for younger children. To be sure, the pandemic has caried with it any number of long-term effects on our nation. The financial impact of our actions and those of our government are only now playing out. Isolation and restricted movement likewise are still being measured. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 44 percent of high school students now experience persistent feelings of “sadness or hopelessness” and relates the high numbers to family deaths or loss of routine during the lockdowns. Still, if we are considering the whole child, shouldn’t our assessment look at the larger social context of these changes? Do we consider what the 8-year-old hears from the back seat when we call our ex (their daddy or mommy) a loser, their schoolteacher some “ist,” police officers evil, our nation’s founders toxic and God dead? For most adults, such speech would generate anxiety and despair. Is it possible that our lack of general civil constraint has proven itself to be more virulent to our children than this recent disease?
Greetings, readers. I’ve just returned from a spring break trip that I’m not exactly sure was worth it. There were definite moments of relaxation, but there were also times when I wanted to shout profanities at unsuspecting elderly women. Let’s assess. On the plus side, the vacation was super cheap. I escorted two nieces to Florida, so their mom paid for my airline ticket — and I stayed free with my amazing in-laws in their snowbird condo. Also on a positive note was my selection of reading and viewing material. I finished “Bridgerton,” the first novel, before plunging right into Season 2 of the show, making for excellent poolside entertainment, and then filled my evenings with Netflix’s “Formula 1 Drive to Survive,” with which I am inexplicably obsessed (box, box, box!) But for much of my week I was parenting, despite not having any of my four children along. Our youngest daughter, who was in Mexico, suffered a mild concussion, and I endured several sleepless nights imagining her slipping into a coma, dying amid tropical strangers (worst-case scenarios are very real at 3 a.m.). Additionally, the journey home was absolutely horrendous, exorcising most of my newly restored energy. Literal tornados in Tampa delayed my flight five hours, causing me to miss every possible Midwest connection in Charlotte and rage at old biddies trying to cut the customer service line. My sister-in-law, who had rented a car as soon as the first sirens sounded, ended up detouring from her Interstate 75 North route to grab me. We spent the whole of the next day driving back, utterly exhausted. Was it worth it? I simply don’t know. Peace out.

TYPES OF HEAD AND NECK CANCER
Many types of cancer fall under the category of head and neck cancer. This includes those on the skin of the head and neck, inside the nose and sinuses, mouth and throat, salivary glands, thyroid gland and at the base of the skull. Several symptoms are associated with this kind of cancer, including skin bumps or sores that don’t heal, mouth or throat ulcers, trouble swallowing, ear pain, difficulty breathing, double vision, change or hoarseness in the voice, blocked sinuses and unexplained lumps in the cheek or neck. LIFESTYLE CHOICES CAN INCREASE RISK There are several known risk factors for head and neck cancer. This includes common lifestyle choices such as tobacco use and alcohol use, which play a major role in head and neck cancers. Poor oral hygiene, ultraviolet exposure (skin cancer) and some occupational exposures to wood, metal, formaldehyde and other substances are also considered risk factors. Human papillo-
ma virus, or HPV), has come to play a major role in the growing incidence of throat cancers located in the oropharynx which includes the tonsils, base of tongue and soft palate. In fact, the majority of oropharynx throat cancers we treat now are caused by HPV, and not from smoking and drinking. TREATING HEAD AND NECK CANCERS Many head and neck cancers develop in delicate and critical locations that require great skill and experience for a successful outcome. Fellowship-trained head and neck surgical oncologists and microvascular reconstructive surgeons provide advanced treatment to both remove malignant tumors of the head and neck and to reconstruct the resulting defects using tissue transplant techniques to recover the patient’s function and appearance. For example, a patient who requires a portion of their lower jaw removed because of cancer can have the jaw reconstructed using their own fibula bone from the lower leg with low morbidity. Tumors located far back in the throat can also be removed in minimally invasive fashion through the mouth using advanced robotic technology for faster recovery and fewer permanent side effects.

Priority Physicians plans move By Chris Bavender news@incarmel.com Priority Physicians will open a new office in Carmel in late June. The office will replace the current location on EXPANSION Naab Road in Indianapolis near the St. Vincent Hospital campus. “We have outgrown the Naab Road facility. We have been on a waitlist to have new patients join us for almost two years now,” said Joe Rizzuto, the group’s chief operating officer. “Our other office in Fishers has been growing mightily, but there definitely was a strong need and a lot of interest in expanding capacity at the northside location. “By getting out of that building (on Naab Road), we will significantly increase square feet and open doors.” The new facility at 12174 N. Meridian St., Suite 300, is 45 percent larger than the Naab Road facility with 14,000 square feet of space. It will allow Priority Physicians, which operates with a concierge medicine model, to add up to 10 team members, including four doctors, during the next five years while continuing to preserve a ratio

of no more than 250 allowable patients per physician. “It will certainly let us address the waitlist out there and give us some room to grow over the next several years,” Rizzuto said. “We will also be able to have a second procedure room so we can do more simultaneously for folks, so that also helps. The on-site pharmacy will also be larger.” For more about a personal, family or business concierge medical membership, or to learn more about Priority Physicians’ offices in Carmel and Fishers, call 317-688-9000 (Indianapolis) or 317-415-9900 (Fishers), or visit priorityphysicianspc.com.

IU Health announces $287 million expansion in Fishers, to rename Saxony Hospital By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com IU Health is planning a significant expansion to its IU Health Saxony Hospital at 136th Street and I-69, which GROWTH opened 10 years ago. The hospital announced the $287 million investment April 12. IU Health Saxony Hospital opened in 2012 as a 38-bed specialty care-focused hospital. The $287 million investment will “significantly expand” the campus, according to a press release. It also will add offsite, outpatient access to primary care and specialists. The investment comes with new branding, too, and the campus will now be known as IU Health Fishers. “Fishers is the sixth largest city in Indiana today, and with notable population growth expected each year, could be as much as 50 percent larger by the year 2040,” stated Doug Puckett, president of IU Health’s Indianapolis Suburban Region, which includes IU Health North, Saxony,

Tipton and West hospitals. “Community members and leaders have told us what they need and want from IU Health to best serve that growth. This investment will allow us to do that.” Standalone outpatient physician offices will be added, and the campus’ square footage will grow by nearly 50 percent. The expansion will add 50 inpatient beds, bringing the total to 88. There will be new and expanded services in obstetrics and gyne-

cology; ear, nose and throat; nephrology; neurology; and pulmonology. There also will be an expansion of cardiovascular, gastroenterology, general medicine, general surgery, orthopedics, primary care and urology specialty programs. “Through research and patient migration patterns, we’ve found that many patients in the Fishers community and on the northeast side of Indianapolis would like to receive their healthcare closer to home but are traveling elsewhere because the current service offerings aren’t diverse enough,” stated Chad Dilley, chief operating officer at IU Health Saxony Hospital. “We’re thrilled to further our investment in the health and well-being of Hoosiers in and around the Fishers community by providing patients with greater access to highly skilled care that’s closer to home and consistent with their needs.” Groundbreaking for the expansion will be in late 2022, with completion slated for 2025. The project is expected to double the hospital’s workforce.
DISPATCHES Hiring a tax professional — In most states, including Indiana, tax preparers do not have to meet any licensing standards, so you need to do your homework if you plan to hire a professional to do your taxes. Ask about any professional certifications, such as a CPA or Enrolled Agent. Find out what your recourse against the preparer is if you get audited and penalties are assessed. Finally, ask for references and check them out. Source: BottomLineInc. Cryptocurrency risks — Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson wants to remind Hoosiers to be cautious about such investments. Common cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Unlike traditional currency, these have no physical form and are not backed by tangible assets. They are not insured or controlled by any central authority and are subject to very little regulation. As a result, the potential for fraud is high. To learn more, visit IndianaMoneyWise.com.

Carmel actor takes on role in ‘The Fantasticks’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When J.B. Scoble started acting five years ago, he went full throttle. “I took it all in at the MUSICAL same time,” Scoble said. “I feel more comfortable now than I did then.” The Carmel resident started acting seriously with Carmel Apprentice Theatre’s “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” five years ago. Scoble, 41, had only acted once in his senior year in high school in Massachusetts. Since catching the acting bug in 2017, Scoble has acted as much as he can. He now gets his shot at the lead part of El Gallo in Carmel Community Players’ production of “The Fantasticks” April 22 to May 8 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel. Scoble has never seen the musical but knew the classic number of “Try to Remember,” which he sings at the opening and close of the show. “When you get in the music and the character, it’s right up my alley,” Scoble said. El Gallo is the narrator of the story about two fathers who are neighbors and pretend to feud to get their two children to fall in love. There are a lot of lines and five songs for Scoble. “It’s a heavy lift, for sure, but it’s super fun,” Scoble said. “It’s a small, intimate show. It’s not this big, massive musical production. It’s a really great story. I’m sure a lot of people will see the messages in the show.” Scoble said there is a little pressure because many people are familiar with the show. Thom Johnson plays Mortimer and Duane Leatherman is cast as Henry. Both are Westfield residents. “Our characters have been together 40 years and we’re still trying to find our niche,” Johnson said. This is Johnson’s first time in “The Fantasticks” but he is quite familiar with it. “I’ve seen it three times in New York,” he said. “I ran lights for the show in 1985

in Hagerstown. I know most of the lines. Most of mine, too.” Johnson and Leatherman have been friends for years. “We have playful banter as friends, and the banter as the characters carries over on the stage,” Johnson said. Leatherman said his character recites Shakespeare and Jonson performs death scenes. Leatherman was in the “The Fantasticks” at the Belfry Theatre in Noblesville in 2009. He played one of the fathers. He also was a stage manager of a production of the show when he attended Anderson University. “I like how theatrical he is,” Leatherman said of his character. “He’s over the top. He and Mortimer are some of the comic relief. I love this show. It’s one of my favorites.” The show ran for 17,162 performances at Sullivan Street Playhouse from 1960 to 2002, making the it the world’s longest-running musical. “I saw it there in 1990 and was taken by the simple beauty of the show and the intimacy of the venue, as it was only five rows deep,” said Rich Phipps, who is
directing the show for CCP. “By the early 2000s, ‘The Fantasticks’ had become established as perhaps the most performed musical in the world, having been adapted to film and produced around the globe in 67 countries by professional, community and school theaters. I believe the show’s popularity stems from the fact that it is a very simple story, yet one that operates on many levels, and contains a profound, perhaps even religious, message. People of all ages can enjoy it as just a colorful fable, with good music and funny characters. “Certain audiences can draw much more from it, viewing from the lens of their own life experience. At various life stages, some will identify with the young lovers, others the parents, the ‘old actors’ or the storytellers.” Phipps knows many audience members will have seen the show before, some several times. “So as a director, the challenge has been to keep it fresh while not deviating far from the essence of what made it so popular in the first place, striking a balance between how touching it is and yet how ludicrous,” he said.

Cynthia Collins said she loves the variety of the Actors Theatre of Indiana’s 2022-23 season, which was PERFORMANCE announced April 18. “A season should have something for everyone,” said Collins, who co-founded ATI with Don Farrell and Judy Fitzgerald. “Everyone thinks differently and this season attributes to that.” The season opens with “Nunsense” Sept. 9 and runs through Oct. 2. It is followed by “Violet’ Oct. 28 to Nov. 20, “The Mountaintop” Feb. 3 to 19, 2023 and “Mr. Confidential” April 28 to May 21, 2023. Those shows will be at the Studio Theater in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “Together, I believe we have come up with a season that will appeal to everyone,” Farrell said. “‘Nunsense’ is a tried and true, irreverent musical comedy that’s been successful for decades, a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. ‘Violet’ is a poignant and touching musical about beauty, love,
courage and what it means to be an outsider. ‘The Mountaintop’ is a fictional retelling of how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spent his last night on Earth before his tragic assassination. ‘Mr. Confidental’ is our very first full-scale musical world premiere, a swinging, sexy musical based on real people and occurrences that happened in (the 1950s) when Bob Harrison practically invented modern celebrity journalism with his infamous Confidential magazine allowing the public a peek into the bedrooms and boardrooms of the rich, famous and powerful.” ATI presented ‘Nunsense’ in 2010, prior to the completion of the Center for the Performing Arts. “Mr. Confidential” was presented as an ATI LAB series reading earlier this year. “This is the whole reason for our LAB series, to move a project to our Main Stage,” Collins said. “This show was highly developed going into the reading, so that definitely helped.” Farrell said ATI knew it had great music and very interesting stories about real people and events.

FHS performing arts show set By Chris Bavender editorial@youarecurrent.com Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been two years since the Fishers High School Performing Arts Dept. CONCERT has been able to perform its showcase concert. Now, the group is set to take the stage at 7 p.m. April 26 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “This is a fantastic experience for the students. None of them were in these ensembles the last time we played at the Palladium, so the experience of performing in a venue this nice will be new to everyone,” said Todd McCready, Fishers High School director of concert bands. “It’s also rare that the students in our top ensembles get to hear each other do what they do best, as each department typically performs separate concerts, aside from this particular show, which is only in its third year. “They are all looking forward to it and definitely feel a bit more pressure to perform as well as they can.” The 200-plus students will perform concert literature spanning a range of historical
periods and styles. “The concert features single-gender and mixed choirs (Sound and Electrum), along with Wind Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra,” McCready said. “It will be two halves with intermission, featuring one choir and one instrumental ensemble in each half.” Work on the music began in February. With show choir in season until just a few weeks ago, students have been juggling both concert choir and show choir repertoire this semester. “Each ensemble has held many rehearsals for this concert outside of school in addition to the time spent in class,” McCready said. “We’ve brought in local professional musicians and collegiate music educators to work with the kids. The main purpose of the concert is to perform the music that we are playing and singing for the ISSMA state qualifying contest, which happens the following weekend, and the music they have to perform for that event is very advanced.” McCready said some of the selections come from a required list, and much of it is collegiate-level repertoire.

Actress returns to Beef & Boards Submitted by Beef & Boards news@currentincarmel.com First seen on the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage as Brigitta, the smart, observant, book-reading 12-yearMUSICAL old in “The Sound of Music,” Grace Morgan has stepped back onto the same stage in another classic musical, “Hello, Dolly!” She plays the beautiful widow milliner, Irene Molloy. “It’s been incredible being back,” the 2008 Fishers High School graduate said. “There are quite a few people in this show who have known me since I was young, so it’s been really wonderful getting the chance to know them as an adult and fellow cast member.” The Beef & Boards stage was not her first. “I did my first musical at 5 years old in Carmel and then did shows at Civic (Theatre) and then Indiana Repertory Theatre,” Morgan said. “Then I found out about Beef & Boards when I was about 12 and loved working here, too. I remember being incredibly excited when I found out I was going to work at Beef & Boards. It’s an Indiana landmark. “I remember enjoying my relationships so much with the other kids, many of whom I still know and have continued working in the realm of theater here in Indiana and in New York.” Growing up on local stages guided her into a career in the spotlight. “It was always the only thing that I wanted to do, so it was a no-brainer to get my college degree in musical theater,” she said, adding she earned that degree at the University of Michigan, where she met her future husband, Daniel Berryman. “We were both majoring in musical theater, and the first time I heard him sing, I fell in love,” she said. “We didn’t start seriously dating until a couple years later, but we have been best friends since we were 18.” From there, they moved to New York City, where they lived for seven years and welcomed their first son, Luke, now 3. “The city just fits us, and we really feel we thrive there,” Morgan said. Although they moved back to Fishers to be close to family and continue to hone their skills, they plan to move back to New York City some day. “We both spent a lot of time on the road with Broadway tours, and we wanted to be able to spend some time investing in some-

thing to keep us in New York while we wait for the next gig,” Morgan said. “We’re hoping to not have to travel so much now that we have a family. My husband is now a web developer as well, and I am a cosmetologist on the side. These other skills will allow us to be pickier about the shows we choose to take and allow us to stay put more often.” Morgan’s career has included many famous roles such as Roxie Hart in “Chicago” and Sandy in “Grease.” But her most remarkable role to date was that of Christine Daaé in the national tour of “The Phantom of the Opera.” “Touring with ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ was in so many ways a dream come true. I got to play the role of Christine twice a week, and it felt amazing getting to wear those iconic costumes and sing that beautiful music,” she said, adding she performed off and on from 2013-2018. “The Phantom fans are unlike anything I’d experienced. They are so loyal to the show, and they know every actor who’s ever played the role. Lots of them still follow along with my life and support me in all my life changes.” Since being back in Indiana, Morgan has had another son, Jesse, now 2. Irene Molloy and the musical “Hello, Dolly!” are new additions to Morgan’s resume, and she’s enjoyed stepping back into turnof-the-century Yonkers, N.Y She’s also finding her character, Irene Molloy, relatable. “I feel like I have rejoined society, getting to sing and dance every night and enjoy being with my cast. I think Irene and I are both incredibly social and love celebrating life,” Morgan said. For tickets, visit beefandboards.com.

The Runcible Spoon
Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 412 E. Sixth St., Bloomington What to get: Corned beef hash Price: $11.75 Anna’s take: When visiting Bloomington, a delicious spot to try is The Runcible Spoon. With wood-paneled walls and cozy vibes, it reminds me of stepping into a professor’s office. The Runcible Spoon serves breakfast,
brunch and lunch. My favorite items are on the breakfast menu. I suggest the corned beef hash, especially if you spent the night before out on the town. The dish features in-house roasted corned beef and smashed potatoes. I suggest adding two eggs fried over easy for an additional $2.95. This breakfast and a cup of coffee (or two) will fix you right up after a night exploring Bloomington’s bar and music scene. It’s family friendly and a great spot to meet friends and grab a bite while you work or do homework.

Words ripe for flouting Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
Duck Creek Aqueduct in Metamora. (Photos by Don Knebel)
A tour of Metamora Commentary by Don Knebel Today we visit tiny Metamora, a historic canal town 67 miles east southeast of Indianapolis. TRAVEL In 1836, the Indiana Legislature authorized $1.4 million ($43 million today) for a canal extending from Hagerstown to Lawrenceburg. When Indiana went bankrupt in 1839, private interests took over the canal’s construction. Completed in 1847, the 76-mile Whitewater Canal employed 56 locks and seven dams to accommodate its large 491-foot drop. Towns sprang up along the canal route, including Metamora, platted in 1838 and named after a popular 1829 play. In 1843, a 75-foot wooden aqueduct built near Metamora carried canal water over Duck Creek, one of only 10 such structures built in the United States. In 1856, a canal-powered grist mill was established in Metamora. The Whitewater Canal was not a success and was largely abandoned soon after it opened. Beginning in 1863, a railroad was built alongside the canal’s towpath. Today, unincorporated Metamora (popuplation 188) lies within the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site and includes
both original buildings and some period structures moved from other locations. A water-powered mill in a two-story brick building, built in 1932 to replace the burnedout original mill, grinds corn and wheat into flour available for purchase. On selected days from May to October, the nonprofit Whitewater Valley Railroad offers a fivehour round trip on an antique train from Connersville to Metamora and/or a short trip within Metamora. On occasion, a horsedrawn canal boat takes riders through the reconstructed aqueduct, the only one in the U.S. still functioning. A 2.6-mile hiking and biking trail along the canal provides an opportunity to see the picturesque countryside. About 40 shops and eateries with friendly proprietors cater to the needs of visitors. A trip to Metamora offers a unique opportunity to experience a 19th-century canal town, with the possibility of a train ride to boot.
Have you ever heard someone say, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it?” Flaunt is a word that means to show off or parade something. You might GRAMMAR GUY be tempted to say “flout” instead of flaunt, since the two words sound and look almost identical to each other. Flout means to show contempt for or mock something. Many people flout the “10 items or fewer” lane at the grocery store by bringing an entire shopping cart full of items. Do you find it confusing when to use “rife” and when to use “ripe”? Rife connotes abundance while ripe suggests readiness. Rife is usually used with the word “with” afterward: My uncle’s Facebook updates are rife with conspiracy theories. Ripe is usually used with the word “for” after it: The pears on that tree are ripe for the picking. Is something a sham or a scam? A sham is something that is a fraud or a pillow cover. A scam is a shady plan to take advantage of someone’s trust. Since both words involve deception of some sort,
these two are easy to confuse. Here’s an example of two words I hear mistaken all the time: riff and rift. A “riff” is a melodic phrase that gets repeated. The Edge from U2 is known for his catchy guitar riffs. A “rift” is a split, opening, or distance created between two things. This can be a rift in the ground or a rift in a friendship. The band developed a rift when the percussionist insisted on playing his cowbell during every song. Let’s tackle squash and quash. To “squash” something means to physically squeeze or press down on something. To “quash” something means to halt or quickly bring to an end something in a nonphysical sense. You “quash” a rumor by revealing the truth about the situation in question. You squash a spider on your car’s dashboard because it makes you scream in terror during rush hour traffic.
