Fishers reaches COVID-19 vaccination milestone By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com On May 28, the Fishers Health Dept. announced that more than 90 percent of city residents 60 and older PANDEMIC have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. As of May 27, 93.9 percent of Fishers residents ages 60 to 69 were fully vaccinated, while older age groups also are closing in on the 90 percent mark. The mark for people 70 to 79 was 89.9 percent, and people 80 and older was 86.2 percent. In total, 91.2 percent of Fishers residents 60 and older have been fully vaccinated. “We are thrilled to see our community continue to take COVID-19 seriously and realize the importance of vaccinations in getting life back to normal,” FHD Public Health Director Monica Heltz stated in a media release. “Underscoring this effort is
the impact the vaccinations are having on positive COVID-19 cases in which we’re seeing no new cases since March for residents 80 and older.” In March, the city set a vaccination rate goal of 85 percent. According to the FHD, the goal could be met by July. By the end of May, 59 percent of eligible Fishers residents had been fully vaccinated. The city saw the biggest increase between May 20 and May 27 in the age 16-19 demographic, which rose 8.4 percent above the previous week’s number and is at 43 percent overall. Every eligible age demographic in Fishers has a fully vaccinated rate of 43 percent or better, except the 12-15 group, which is at 0.2 percent. “Our hope is that residents in that 12-29 age category prioritize their vaccination so we can start to see a true drop in new cases in our community,” Heltz stated.

Fishers resident launches insurance agency By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Stephen Friedrichs has been selling insurance in Fishers since NEW BIZ March 1, but that wasn’t by design. Friedrichs had formerly worked in the hospitality industry, traveling the U.S. as the director of revenue for Marriott Luxury hotels. But he was laid off from that job in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Less than a year later, the Fishers resident has blazed a new career path by opening his own insurance firm — Friedrichs Agency — in Fishers through Farmers Insurance. “COVID came and my (hotel business) budgets were just decimated,” Friedrichs said. “Nobody was flying anymore. Eighty percent of your rooms were for businesses that travel. On March 23, 2020, that 80 percent dropped to zero percent overnight. Layoffs started to happen. Eventually, I was shown the door, along with many other directors of revenue across the company.” Friedrichs, 43, stayed in touch with his former bosses at Marriott waiting to see when he could return to work. But the
outlook for the third and fourth quarters were bleak. With savings dwindling and a wife and five children to provide for, he decided to explore other employment opportunities. “I started going down either a mortgage broker or financial adviser path and actually had two options to move forward with,” Friedrichs said. “But then Farmers Insurance called while I was grocery shopping with my kids and said that they had found my resume and thought I might be a good fit as an agency owner.” Friedrichs was interested, and Farmers Insurance provided him a doorway and brand recognition. The company supported him in finding and renovating an office near city center at 8977 Technology Dr., Suite D, and in hiring a staff. One of his staffers, David Millican, worked with Friedrichs as a client before joining him as a full-time employee at Friedrichs Agency. “At the end of the day, the only people who like insurance in this room is David and me,” Friedrichs said. “(Clients) don’t care about it. You’re like, ‘I have to work on my insurance, what a nightmare.’ Right? We’re here to make that an easy transition for you so you can just get on with life and give you peace of mind.”

A Noblesville couple recently purchased franchise rights to a Window Genie. It opened May 5. NEW BIZ “Window Genie is a service company. We do window cleaning, interior and exterior, wash screens, full house washes, gutter cleaning, window film, tinting for home windows, and in the fall, we do holiday lights,” said Gary Lehman, who co-owns the franchise with his girlfriend, Shawna Tylke. “We cover all of the east side of Indianapolis clear up to Arcadia and out to Anderson, Pendleton, Fortville, down to Greenfield and back.” When Tylke met Lehman, Tylke was living in Broad Ripple. “He helped me flip my house,” Tylke said. “Just driving through neighborhoods in Fishers and Noblesville, we noticed a lot of houses need pressure washed on the siding. They have mold growing or the gutters needed cleaned out. We enjoyed flipping houses, so we thought, ‘What can we do to serve in the community and make the community pretty?’ “We started looking at Window Genie and got excited with everything they offer.” Tylke and Lehman said the franchise does more than just clean windows. “It’s actually beautifying the outside of your home, which a lot of people don’t have the time to do or the experience or equipment,” Tylke said.

A love story: Tobacco and coffee By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Images of whiskey may accompany one’s thoughts when thinking of enjoying a luxury cigar, but Blend Bar co-owner and President Corey Johnston said the best beverage to enjoy with a cigar is coffee. “What’s unique about coffee is, it’s available all over the world, and so is tobacco,” Johnston said. “Coffee is still the No. 1 beverage. Coffees from different parts of the world have unique flavor profiles, so we blended our own brand of coffee (with Hubbard & Cravens) from Africa, and we think it pairs best with the cigar. It’s sort of like a wine pairing with cheese. What makes it so delightful is you can have different types of coffee and it hits the palate differently, just like tobacco, just like wine, just like food.” Blend Bar opened at 3981 E. 82nd St. in Castleton in 2013. In 2017 it was named the best cigar lounge in the world by Cigar Journal. Since then, Johnston has strived to create a luxurious space that lives up to the title. Despite being a cigar bar, the inside of the building isn’t foggy with smoke. A $300,000 HVAC system circulates the air eight times per hour. “We went above and beyond trying to make

the furniture and interior design something relaxing and comfortable and approachable,” Johnston said. “A lot of people come in and think it’s going to be a smoky bar, and yes, it’s a lounge that has smoking, but the way the ventilation is, it takes away that.” Blend Bar also employs the state’s only cigar sommelier, Richard Peyton. His job is to help connect customers with the perfect cigar. Blend Bar’s cigars are 100 percent tobacco that has been aged five to seven years. Unlike a cigarette, the cigars have no added toxins and take about 2 hours to smoke. For more, visit blendbarcigar.com.

(Photo by Anna Skinner) to the creation of a recipe that is truly my own — a rich, cozy take on the old-fashioned that I like to call “The Journalist.” I like to actually taste the liquor in my drinks, so if you don’t want a punchy bourbon beverage, then add a bit more sugar. Ingredients: 1/2 tablespoon loosely packed brown sugar, 1/2 tablespoon warm water, dash of cherry bitters, dash of chocolate bitters, 2 oz. Maker’s Mark FAE-01 limited released bourbon, bourbon cherry, orange swath Directions: Muddle brown sugar with 1/2 tablespoon of warm water and both bitters in the bottom of a rocks glass. I actually enjoy a little bit of gritty brown sugar in my cocktail, but if you want a smoother version, use a pre-made brown sugar simple syrup. Place a large ice cube in the glass and add bourbon, then express the orange swath over the drink and tuck it next to the ice along the rim. Add a bourbon cherry and enjoy. Cheers!

Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano’s house-made limoncello is so popular, owner Adson Franco orders 5,500 lemons each year to keep up with demand. Limoncello, a lemon liqueur made from soaking lemon peel in grain alcohol and adding simple syrup, is used as either an aperitif or digestif, in which it can be enjoyed either before or after a meal. It originated in Italy in the early 20th century. Franco said the Italian regions of Naples, Sorento and Amalfi claim bragging rights for creating the alcoholic beverage. Franco makes 5-gallon batches of limoncello at a time. Although Indiana liquor laws prevent him from selling it by the bottle, an $8 glass of limoncello is still the restaurant’s most popular beverage. “We make it in-house and peel about 100 lemons, and that’ll give us about 5 gallons,” Franco said. “We go through about 100 gallons monthly. We are always making it. We order lemons three times a week.” Franco orders the lemons from Sorento, Italy. Sorento lemons differ from American

lemons. “American lemons are smaller,” Franco said. “Italian lemons are a bit sweeter, and it’s just a cleaner flavor. It’s not as bitter.” Franco soaks lemon peels in high-quality grain alcohol for two to three weeks. When the peels have absorbed the alcohol, he makes a simple syrup out of boiling water and sugar and filters it through the lemon peel three times. Then, he freezes the golden liquid for 10 hours. The final product is limoncello. For more, visit matteosindy.com.

Co-owner Robyn Wilson began working at the shop in 2009 as a barista for Jim Howard, the original owner, but her memories span further back. “I grew up here in Noblesville and graduated from Noblesville High School, so everything is very familiar to me – the customers, teachers, people I went to school with,” Wilson said. “For me, it’s important to keep a place that is comfortable and provides everybody a place to go.” Recently, Wilson was working at the shop when she overheard a customer say that Noble Coffee & Tea was similar to safe spaces in video games. “I guess in video games there’s safe spaces and a place you go to rest, and I thought that was a really nice thing,” she said. The shop, at 933 Logan St. in downtown Noblesville, celebrated its silver anniversary in April but had a low-key celebration because of COVID-19 restrictions. Wilson said she’s considering another celebration later

this year. The most popular item on the menu is still filter coffee because it’s roasted next door, but Wilson said boba tea has started to become popular as well. Boba tea originated in Taiwan and usually consists of tea with chewy tapioca balls. Noble Coffee & Tea also offers popping boba, which has a fruit flavor when bitten. The shop is open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, and 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Wilson said she plans to extend Friday and Saturday hours in the coming weeks.

Columnist names top 5 patios Commentary by Anna Skinner As Current Publishing’s At the Table with Anna’s food columnist, I have been blessed to visit more than 200 restaurants in the area and comb through those options to find the best patio dining for you to enjoy this summer. Juniper on Main, 110 E. Main St., Carmel I will never stop singing praises for Juniper on Main. The owners have gone above and beyond in decorating the Southern/ coastal fare restaurant, and when I dined on the patio in warm weather, it seemed to transport me directly to Charleston or Savannah. Not only is the food delicious, but the quaint patio is a great place to watch the hustle and bustle of downtown Carmel while dining under Edison lights. 3UP, 201 W. Main St., Carmel Perched on top of Anthony’s Chophouse in downtown Carmel, 3UP is a rooftop bar with luxurious touches like a living plant wall and a picturesque view of the Arts & Design District. 1933 Lounge, 9707 District N. Drive, Suite 1120, Fishers One of my favorite parts of 1933 Lounge in
Juniper on Main’s quaint patio is At the Table with Anna’s top spot for outdoor dining in Hamilton County. (File photo)
Fishers, in addition to its 21-and-older policy, is that it has an indoor/outdoor patio if you want a bit of fresh air but don’t want to be fully exposed to the elements. Field Brewing, 303 E. Main St., Westfield Who doesn’t love gardens and games? Field Brewing’s front yard is a beautiful garden, and the back patio has a bocce ball court and a green space for kids and adults to enjoy. Sun King Brewing, 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel Speaking of games, if you’re in the mood for table tennis, an outdoor greenspace, outdoor movies and lounge-style seating in the great outdoors, be sure to check out Carmel’s Midtown Plaza and grab a beer at Sun King while you’re at it.

Fishers unveils Gold Star Families Memorial Monument By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com In Fishers on Memorial Day, May 31, the city unveiled a monument to honor those who were left behind when their loved ones gave, what Abraham Lincoln in his “Gettysburg Address,” called “the last full measure of devotion” to their nation. The Gold Star Families Memorial Monument was unveiled by Mayor Scott Fadness on the southern plaza in front of City Hall at 1 Municipal Dr. but was dedicated and consecrated by yellow carnations from Gold Star families whp lost loved ones in military service. Brig. Gen. Timothy Winslow, director of the Joint Staff for the Indiana National Guard, spoke during the ceremony. “Because the families don’t wear the uniform, sometimes they are overlooked, but today we bridge that gap,” an emotional Winslow said. “With this monument, we can now look to the families and tell them, ‘Thank you for your service.’” A procession of Gold Star families placed flowers at the base of the monument before a crowd of emotional attendees. “There are few things that make me tear up, but that was one of the things that does,” said U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.),
who represents the 5th District. “When I think about all of the people that died for this republic and the freedoms we have and how difficult it is for the families, I’m so happy to see how the city is remembering the people who actually died and the families. The loss is forever for them.” Even though he has attended many memorial events on behalf of the City of Fishers, the moment was not lost on Fadness, either. “Every time we do one of these events where we try to honor those individuals who have sacrificed so much, it’s really very touching,” Fadness said. “You can’t stand there and look someone in the eye and see the pain that they have gone through and not be moved by that.” The recognition of Gold Star families began during World War I, when those with sons or husbands in the military placed a flag in their window with a blue star on a white background. If the loved one died while serving, the star became gold. A large, gleaming gold star adorns the front of the Fishers monument with a cutout silhouette of a serviceman saluting, along with the gold-etched words, “A tribute to Gold Star families and relatives who sacrificed a loved one for our freedom.” The monument was made by the Louisville-based Woody Williams

Foundation. The foundation has installed a combined 85 monuments in all 50 states and Guam. The front of each monument is the same but the reverse side is personalized for each community. “When you get to the back side, there are the four panels with the narrative of ‘homeland, family, patriotism and sacrifice.’ The communities themselves get to personalize those panels with images to reflect their community,” said Alex Nauert, Woody Williams Foundation director of programs. The Fishers’ Gold Star monument is personalized with an aerial view of Fishers city government square on the homeland panel; silhouettes of families of different ages against an American star-spangled backdrop on the family panel; the raising of the American flag at Iwo Jima for the patriot panel; and two scenes of a fallen soldier’s funeral for the sacrifice panel. According to Nauert, it takes 12 to 18 months to proceed from initial discussions to monument unveiling. The project cost is approximately $60,000. Fishers began its path to installing the 85th Gold Star Families Memorial Monument by way of a conversation over coffee. “The journey began with Brad Dereamer being the mayor of Greenfield,” said retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. El Ahlwardt, who emceed the ceremony. “He had a veterans park (there), and after his term as mayor was completed, he moved to Fishers, and he wanted to do something here that was kind
of like what Greenfield had. Last October or November, he, George Stavropoulos (who received a Silver Star and multiple Purple Hearts) and Mayor Fadness had coffee. “Brad said, ‘Mayor, we have to have something.’ Brad wanted to do this (monument) and he wanted to honor families, and the mayor said he would back it.” The city used discretionary funds to pay for the project, and fundraising is under way to repay the city. Ahlwardt said that the City of Fishers Parks Foundation has raised 80 percent of the funds needed. Donations can be made at fishers.in.us/ GoldStar.

THE WOODY WILLIAMS FOUNDATIONS The nonprofit Woody Williams Foundation launched in 2014, but according to Director of Programs Alex Nauert, “Historically, it actually started when (Hershel “Woody” Williams) was a taxicab driver (in his native West Virginia) delivering telegrams to families that had lost their loved ones.” Williams, inspired by the emotions of those deliveries, joined the Marine Corps, earning the Congressional Medal of Honor during the Battle of Iwo Jima. Despite not using a flamethrower before he was given one to clear out pill boxes where Japanese troops were firing on the Marines, Williams cleared out three of them, having to run back and forth to reload. He then continued in the battle with his regular firearm before being wounded. He could not see the flag being raised over the battlefield toward the end of the fighting, but he could tell something special was happening when he heard his fellow Marines cheering. Williams is 97 years old and is the lone surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipient.

ESSAY
HUMOR
Personal connections
Summer survival strategy
Commentary by Terry Anker Our one-time cultural proclivity to stay home in the evenings with our families led to a communal television viewing experience. “The Love Boat” was soon making another run and most of us were there to watch it. Perhaps it was a combination of a handful of television stations available and about the same options to dine out, but we could largely count on a water-cooler conversation the next day about the hilarity from the night before. Today, we binge watch. But back then, it was must-see TV. The Huxtables gave us a new way to look at the world, together. Now, we are keeping up with the Kardashians and a mob of dystopian zombie, the-world-is-over programming, as if there is much difference. But unlike where we once found commonality, we are now fully subdivided. Some of us get our undead on cable — others use HBO Max, or Disney+, or Netflix, or Hulu, or Amazon Prime, or even Pluto TV. And isn’t there still “free” programming flying through the air? For some, media is delivered exclusively via even more personal methods. We enjoy YouTube on our phones, watches, or have programming projected directly into our eyes via Google Glass. Like an ever-increasing variety of things, we retreat to our own little enclaves, all by ourselves, even as we imagine that we are connected night and day. It has been a long-time coming. Many of us drink our water from personal bottles — even if the office has a cooler, it hasn’t been seen, or refilled, during the months of pandemic furlough. Private bottles are alleged to be healthier. There is no risk without interaction, right? Still, is it possible that we are causing one problem by solving another? Can we be “all in this together” if we are no longer together?

Summer is finally here, friends, and while in the past I would have shared my plan for surviving these next two months with kids at home, this year I have no such delusions that chore charts and curfews have any effect. For 2021, my Generation Z-ers will be 100 percent free range! Maybe I’m making a huge mistake, but honestly, with three of the four back from independent college living, why bother? Half the time they aren’t even in the house, so making Wednesdays Andrew’s night for dinner is a literal crapshoot on whether or not I’ll get a meal. And any attempt on my part to have our precious little angels home by midnight is nullified by my strict 9 p.m. bedtime. As they say to me incessantly, “It’s not like you’ll know, Mom!” Fair point. Nope, this June and July will be about encouraging rather than requiring domestic responsibility and good decision making. We will maximize our finely tuned parental skills of shaming and guilt-tripping to encourage them to be contributing members of our Wilson tribe. Examples include: “That’s my new Xanax prescription for when I wake at three in the morning and your car isn’t in the driveway. It keeps me from calling hospitals thinking you’re dead on a forgotten ER gurney.” “Yeah, I see an orthopedic now for my debilitating carpel tunnel from all the extra dishwashing and laundry folding.” “We had to cancel our anniversary trip to pay for the increased Meijer bill. No big deal. Twenty-five isn’t a big one.” “I drink because you leave half-eaten carne asadas on the couch.” Sorry to be of no help this summer. And godspeed, friends. Godspeed. Peace out.

One of the Softub models that is offered by Indy Hot Tub Rentals (Submitted photo)
Fishers resident finds passion renting out hot tubs By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Fishers resident Julius Taylor, a software engineer by trade, has created a unique side occupation that he NEW BIZ wants to grow. Since March 1, Taylor has been renting out hot tubs through his new company, Indy Hot Tub Rentals. “It was last winter around November or December, and I heard about a gentleman on the East Coast doing something similar — renting hot tubs,” Taylor said. “He’d been doing it for two years. When I heard it, I thought it was an awesome idea and thought it would work in Indianapolis and the surrounding area.” Although skeptical about the idea at first, Taylor’s wife, Melissa, eventually warmed up to it. The business is very hands-on for the Taylors. Julius has no employees, but Melissa helps out. When a customer rents a hot tub, it’s either Julius or Melissa that they
speak to. When the hot tub is delivered and set up, Julius does the work. “I drive it over, I roll it out into the location, I set up the motor, I get the water started, I go over with them how to control the unit and any maintenance steps that are necessary,” Taylor said. Taylor’s business has seen a steady increase in bookings and a growing inventory. He rents two types of hot tubs: The Resort 300 and the Portico, both made by Softtub. Both models accommodate about six people and are made out of a high-density foam material that weighs only 90 pounds when empty. “People buy these tubs and they last for decades. They are super repairable, and I can repair just about everything on the tub,” Taylor said. Renting a hot tub for a week costs $249. The monthly rate is $499. An optional cedar deck that surrounds the tub and steps is available for $49 a week or $199 a month. For more, visit indyhottubrentals.com.
DISPATCH Stocks benefit from cancer test breakthroughs — Amid the race to develop coronavirus tests, vaccines and treatments, many investors might overlook another realm of impressive medical breakthroughs. Molecular diagnostic firms are developing innovative blood tests that can detect many forms of cancer, some even at the earliest stages before cancerous cells mass together. In the past five years, genomic blood testing has become a $6 billion-a-year market, mostly driven by tests such as “liquid biopsies” that
allow patients with potentially cancerous tumors to avoid expensive and invasive surgery to remove sample tissue. Over the next decade, the diagnostics market is expected to soar to more than $50 billion annually as companies develop early-detection tests to screen asymptomatic patients for cancers.

Preventative foot care for men
DISPATCHES
Treatment of Hip & Knee Arthritis
Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan In honor of Men’s Health Month and Father’s Day, I’m focusing on PODIATRY preventative foot health for men this month. Must-have men’s foot care products • Good moisturizer: Men’s feet are notoriously dry, leading to cracked, bleeding heels. Buy a moisturizer — with urea — and use it every day. Apply cream right before bed. Then, slip on socks and let the feet soak up the moisture all night long. • Supportive orthotics: Whether standing or at a desk all day, men put lots of pressure on their feet, which can lead to foot pain. To take the weight off of the feet and keep arch and heel pain at bay, invest in a pair of orthotics.
A board-certified foot surgeon and wound specialist, Dr. David Sullivan is the owner of Westfield Foot and Ankle, LLC. Contact him at drs@westfieldfoot.com.
Walking for arthritis — Walking is so beneficial in fighting arthritis pain that it’s considered a natural medicine. 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. Source: American Journal of Public Health Sunscreen tip – Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms – UVA and UVB. Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation. Source: fda.gov
Preventative care for men’s feet • Clean and dry the feet daily: Men often deal with athlete’s foot, a fungal infection that usually develops on the soles of the feet or between the toes. To avoid this problem, change socks every day and wash and dry feet at least once a day. Reduce the risk by spraying shoes with anti-fungal spray. • Keep them covered: Walking barefoot leaves feet open to fungal infections as well as injuries. It forces bare feet to absorb the full shock of walking, leading to heel and arch pain. To avoid this problem, always wear your shoes. • Watch for changes: Look at your feet regularly. A change in the color of the nails, a new bump on the side of the foot, or harder spots of skin, especially between or on the toes, are all signs of a problem. Contact our office right away. Just like you see your general physician once a year, check in annually with a podiatrist. And, when any discomfort or pain develops, it’s even more important to schedule an appointment with a podiatrist. That way, a small issue with your feet won’t become a major problem.

Fiber to fight diabetes – New research shows that people who are willing to more than double the fiber in their diets from 16 to 37 grams per day can better control diabetes. It needs to be a high amount of diverse types of fibers. Getting nearly 40 grams may sound like a tall order, but it’s actually not that hard and it could make a radical difference in your blood sugar level by increasing insulin production. Source: BottomLineHealth.com Improve your focus – Do you have more trouble concentrating than you used to? Studies show that our attention spans are declining, largely due to the use of technology. We feel we have to respond to every text, alert and call immediately. Instead, try putting the phone on “do not disturb” mode for a few minutes when you need to focus on something else. You may find it easier to concentrate and you probably won’t miss anything truly important. Source: Cynthia Green, Ph.D. Helping loved ones recover – When a loved one is ill, you can help their recovery even if you have no medical training. When you talk to them, get an update and be sympathetic, but quickly shift to a positive, upbeat tone. Don’t talk about your own illnesses. Let the person know that you are looking forward to meeting for lunch, or some other outing, in the near future. Have a funny story or wonderful reminiscence to share. Laughter is a great healer, and it can make the recovering person’s day. Source: BottomLineHealth.com

Center for the Performing Arts’ schedule features a mix of performers By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Center for the Performing Arts announced its 2021-22 Center Presents season schedule June 8. But MUSIC expect more to come is the message from President/CEO Jeffrey C. McDermott. “This is what is booked to date,” McDermott said. “There are still a number of artists who aren’t touring yet and are still trying to put tours together. We know we’ll be adding a number of shows as we go, just because there are ongoing tours that aren’t announced just yet.” Many national acts are waiting to see how the nation bounces back from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has shut down much of the entertainment world since March 2020. The 2021-22 season opens with Rufus Wainwright and José González: Unfollow the Rules in the Local Valley Tour Sept. 25. The final announced show will feature Center for the Performing Arts Artistic Director Michael Feinstein and Sandi Patty May 7. Most of the announced shows will be at the Palladium, with some at The Tarkington. “COVID rules are still different in different states, so an artist touring in the Midwest, Michigan might have different rules than Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky,” McDermott said. “Some of the larger commercial artists are pointing their finger in the air and seeing which way the wind is blowing. We’re pretty excited about what we’ve booked so far. I think Randy Rainbow (Oct. 7) is going to be an interesting one. We always love Pink Martini (Oct. 23) and Postmodern Jukebox (Dec 10). Singer/ songwriter Ben Folds (Nov. 12) is going to be very well received, and that is one (performer) we’ve been trying to get for a number of years.” Folds is on a solo piano tour. “Our country fans will love Clint Black (Oct. 24), and those who enjoy gospel, Christian music, the Gaither Vocal Band (Nov. 7) is very popular with them,” McDer-

mott said. Holiday concerts include Debby Boone (Dec. 4) and Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tour (Dec. 11). “Dave Koz is popular and has become a tradition around here,” McDermott said. “We have some tribute bands coming in like 1964 The Tribute (The Beatles, March 11, 2022) and George Michael Tribute (March 5, 2022). When you can bring in Itzhak Perlman (April 9, 2022), who is one of the great violin virtuosos of our time, that is saying something as well.” Perlman, who made his debut on the “The Ed Sullivan Show” at age 13, has 16 Grammy Awards. “There is a lot to choose from here,” McDermott said. “We’re really focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, and we’re trying to make that stand out in our programing, making sure we’ve got something that will be attractive to our community and beyond. A bit of our theme is looking forward, and no one wants to look back at the last 15 months, other than lessons learned, and we did learn some. There are things we changed in how we do things that were out of necessity, but we’ll continue to do that because we
know they work. We’ve learned a lot about livestreaming capabilities. I don’t think anything beats coming to a show and seeing it in person.” The annual gala will be virtual and streamed live Sept. 18 from the Palladium. The event will feature Feinstein, a gospel choir and other performers and surprise guests. Donations and auction proceeds will support the Center’s artistic and educational programming. Among other highlights are Brubeck Brothers Quartet: Dave Brubeck Centennial Celebration, Oct. 2; The King’s Singers, Dec. 12; An Evening with David Sedaris, Dec. 15; The Company Men, Feb. 18, 2022; Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Feb. 27; and Peking Acrobats, March 26. Subscription sales will start June 8. Available subscription packages are Classical Series, Jazz Series, Songbook Series and Create Your Own Series (any three or more). Single-event tickets for 2021 shows go on sale to the general public Aug. 6. Single-event tickets for 2022 shows will be on sale later in the fall. For a full schedule, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Red Barn Theatre artistic director Michael Taylor always enjoys directing a Michael Parker play for a few reasons. PLAY The Frankfort venue will present Michael Parker’s “Who’s in Bed with the Butler?” from June 9 to 20. Taylor, who will direct the play, said Parker, who died in 2019, always called the director before the production of one of his plays began to wish him well and then sent a note after it started. “I loved that. There are not many playwrights that do that,” Taylor said. The playwright’s wife, Susan Parker, who also wrote plays with her husband, reached out to Taylor to let him know her husband had died. “She wished us well and it looks like she is going to continue that tradition,” said Taylor, a Frankfort High School theater teacher. The plot centers on a California billionaire’s only child, Constance, who assumes she will inherit her late father’s estate. But she learns that is not the case, and an

eccentric butler seems to be at the center of it. Like many of his plays, “Who’s in Bed with the Butler?” is a farce. “His stuff is very lighthearted,” Taylor said. “It’s great stuff for the summer. It’s the kind of show that if you had a bad day, you just want to relax and smile. That’s what this offers. All the shows this summer are light because I think the whole world needs it.” The production is the first since the 2020 season was canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sundays. For more, visit redbarntheatre.net.
BTCA presents ‘Cinderella’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Natalie Heinemeyer understands it will be difficult to make her final performance with the Ballet Theatre of Carmel BALLET Academy. “I am focusing on the performance, but I know how much I will miss everyone,” said Heinemeyer, who has been with the BTCA since 2013. “I am thankful for our tight community at BTCA.” The 18-year-old Westfield resident will make her final appearance in the title role of “Cinderella” June 12 and 13 at Marian University in Indianapolis. The shows are at 2 and 7:30 p.m. each day. “This will be my first time as Cinderella,” said Heinemeyer, who will major in dance a Butler University in the fall. “I’m excited to bring this iconic character to life. After the past year, I am really looking forward to dancing on stage in an auditorium with an audience. I’ve missed performing. This will be my first time as Cinderella. I’m excited to bring this iconic character to life.” Heinemeyer will perform as Cinderella in the June 12 evening and June 13 mati-

nee. Elizabeth Brame, who just finished her junior year at Westfield High School, will perform as Cinderella in the other two performances. When not playing Cinderella, each will play the Fairy Godmother. Noblesville resident Stella Bubenzer, a 2021 graduate of Herron High School, plays the Arabian Princess in her final performance. “It’s a more mature role and I enjoy it,” said Bubenzer, who played Clara in “The Nutcracker” in 2020.

Big Hoffa’s Freezery opened May 14 and will complement its famous barbecue menu with hand-dipped ice cream, DINING regular shakes and Insane Shakes. “We have these shakes called Insane Shakes, and they are massive 20 oz. cups of ice cream shapes topped with all different kinds of ingredients,” owner Adam Hoffman said. “One of them is called Tears of a Mermaid, and it has a cinnamon roll on top with cotton candy and donuts and sprinkles and whipped cream, and it stands about a footand-a-half tall.” There are eight Insane Shakes. They cost $15 each. The other ice cream items on the menu range from $3 to $7. Hoffman said he’s always wanted to open an ice cream shop inside of Big Hoffa’s, 800 E. Main St., Westfield. “I have been to different areas around the country that had those shakes and they’re really awesome and fun,” Hoffman said. “There’s not anything like that in the area. I wanted to bring something different to Hamilton County, and based on the things we do at Big Hoffa’s and our crazy creations over there, it was the perfect fit for us.”

Twenty Tap The spicy crispy southern chicken sandwich is made with in-house hot sauce. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
Commentary by Anna Skinner

JUNE 18
OUR FATHERS’ FAVORITES
Address: 5406 N. College Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Crispy southern chicken Price: $13 Anna’s take: I recently went to Twenty Tap in Broad Ripple for a Current Publishing editors’ night out. Although I’ve never been, I was pleased with the spicy crispy southern chicken sandwich that I ordered. The sandwich is available regular or spicy, and if you’re a frequent reader of this column, you know I enjoy spicy. I was very pleased
with how hot the in-house hot sauce was, and if you’re sensitive to spicy things, I would suggest ordering the regular version because the spicy one definitely cleared my sinuses. The breaded chicken breast is topped with Bibb lettuce, tomatoes, house pickles and a black pepper aioli and served with a side of fries. As its name implies, Twenty Tap sells beers on tap, although according to its website, it has 38 offerings rather than 20. Regardless, it had some unique offerings. The Bare Hands Thai PA, a Thai-spiced IPA, paired wonderfully with the heat of the chicken.
Behind bars: Jackson was a Rapper Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 1 oz. vodka, 1 oz. orangecello, .5 oz. lime juice, .5 oz. tangerine, ginger simple syrup, 1 dash grapefruit bitters, orange swath, rosemary sprig Directions: Shake liquid ingredients together, express an orange swath in a chilled coupe glass and serve neat, then garnish with the rosemary.

Not garden-variety sentences Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
The Indiana Medical History Museum in Indianapolis. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Visiting the Indiana Medical History Museum Commentary by Don Knebel With international travel more difficult, my next several columns will focus on interesting sites closer to home. TRAVEL Today, we will visit the Indiana Medical History Museum. In 1895, Indiana established a pathology laboratory on the grounds of the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane in Indianapolis. The laboratory, housed in a 19-room building designed by the architect of the Indiana State Capitol, enabled physicians to study the causes and treatment of mental illness. Considered the best such laboratory in the world at the time, it included an autopsy room; rooms where tissue samples were prepared and studied; a chemistry laboratory; and a 100-seat auditorium where people, including medical students, could learn the latest discoveries. To enable the audience to see tissue samples, microscope slides were photographed onto glass plates with a huge camera in the photography laboratory. To induce the next of kin to allow autopsies on deceased hospital residents, the hosptial provided free burial in the nearby Mt. Jackson Cemetery. The hospital abandoned the laboratory in the 1960s, leaving most of its contents intact, including a sign over a refrigerator that cautioned funeral operators to close the door when removing a body. When the building, now the oldest pathological laboratory in the United States, was threatened with destruction, a nonprofit group organized by local physicians acquired the facility and began operating it as a museum. Visitors can see most of the rooms, many as they were when the laboratory was in use. They also can visit a room that displays preserved tissue specimens, predominantly
brains, along with the stories of the people from which they were taken. The museum, at 3270 Kirkbride Way in Indianapolis, is open Wednesday through Saturday. Tours led by knowledgeable guides are available on the hour. Spring and summer visitors also can explore a well-maintained garden of medicinal plants.

I’ve been getting into gardening lately. Specifically, I’m cultivating a native perennial garden designed to support monarchs and other crucial GRAMMAR GUY pollinators. I’d like to discuss a fascinating sentence structure called a “garden path sentence.” These pleasant-sounding sentences are grammatically correct; however, they lead you to believe something is amiss. Here’s a few examples: The old man the boat. At first sight, it seems like a sentence from the rough draft of “The Old Man and the Sea.” However, the “old” is the subject of the sentence. The old (collective group of people) man (a verb meaning “to control”) the boat. Here’s another garden path sentence: I convinced her children are noisy. Although this sentence is grammatically correct, it’s missing a “that” between “her” and “children” that would clear things up pretty quickly: I convinced her that children are noisy.
The cotton shirts are made of grows in Mississippi. The first time your eyes scan this sentence, you probably assume “cotton” is an adjective describing “shirts.” However, your brain feels a sense of grammatical whiplash when you get to the end and feel funny about the wording. You go down the garden path of “The cotton shirts are made” thinking that the sentence is about the “cotton shirts,” but the sentence is actually about the “cotton” that “shirts are made of” and how that cotton “grows in Mississippi.” What do we do with garden path sentences? I think they’re funny as an exercise in wordplay, but outside of a fun word-nerd party trick, I suggest we rewrite the sentences so that they say what they are meant to mean rather than confuse the reader.
