Hamilton Co. Democrats rally for pro-choice By Matthew Kent news@currentinfishers.com Elected officials and candidates running for office representing Hamilton County are encouraging Hoosiers POLITICS to voice their support for pro-choice rights when the Indiana Legislature convenes for a special session later this month. More than 75 people turned out in solidarity July 2 during a rally organized by the Hamilton County Democratic Party inside Holy Family Episcopal Church in Fishers that featured candidates running for state and federal offices. The event was designed to create an atmosphere for individuals who are concerned about issues to be addressed during the special session scheduled for July 25, said Dayna Colbert, Hamilton County Democratic Party chair. Concerns from those in attendance follow the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the constitutional right to an abortion, leaving it up to states to decide how to deal with the issue. The special session in Indiana is expected to “take action to protect life,” according to Republicans, although it remains unclear what restrictions or possible legislation could be discussed by lawmakers. Colbert said it is important for people to rally at the Indiana Statehouse because that is where change occurs, adding that she feels individuals should have the right to make choices about their bodies regardless of whether they can or cannot carry children. “We want to bring people together who also feel that way to have that choice and give them the tools to move forward and carry that message on,” Colbert said. Colbert said the Hamilton County Democratic Party is concerned that the General Assembly has signaled support for banning abortion in Indiana, although to what extent remains unclear. “We are concerned about our choices and our options in Indiana as well,” she said. The rally brought together more than a half-dozen elected officials and candidates running for office, many of whom urged

those in attendance to stand up and make their voices heard. Individuals in attendance seated at tables were also encouraged to make signs in preparation for the July 25 session outside the Statehouse. Among those critical of Republicans at the state level was State Rep. Sue Errington, who said that decisions involving abortion should remain between a woman and her doctor. “The Republicans have been screaming for an abortion ban for years,” Errington said. Errington also told those in attendance that she promised to defend reproductive rights in Indiana, urging individuals to press elected officials for answers. “Don’t let them dice up your question,” Errington said. “Make them answer.” Jeannine Lee Lake, who is running for the U.S. House to represent Indiana’s 5th Congressional District against Republican
incumbent Victoria Spartz in November, also appeared at the event wearing a shirt of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a slogan, “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.” Fishers City Councilwoman Jocelyn Vare, who holds an at-large seat, is running for the Indiana Senate in District 31 and also said it’s important for people to get out and make their voices heard. Vare encouraged those in attendance to talk to their neighbors, saying Democrats are working hard for all Hoosiers. “Hamilton County is a purple county and it’s time like we acted like it,” Vare said. “Please go to the Statehouse. That’s how you make your voice heard.” Fishers resident Angie Lopez attended with her friend Monica Moehring. Both women said they were making plans to rally at the Statehouse later this month. Lopez created a sign that said, “My body isn’t a ‘peach-tree dish’ for your government overreach” and described the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade as being “just ridiculous.” “I never thought we would be here,” Lopez said. “I was dumbfounded.” Victoria Garcia Wilburn, who is running for House District 32, is an occupational therapist and said she was concerned about what the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade means for women in Indiana. In Indiana, 33 counties don’t have an OB-GYN available, Wilburn said. Wilburn described the recent Supreme Court decision as being “a complete overstep,” saying that abortion is a decision that needs to be made between a client and their provider. “This is not a political decision,” she said. Still, Wilburn said the turnout at the church indicated that issues such as abortion matter to voters and noted that the current Republican supermajority is not in line to what matters to them. She also asked individuals to remain energized moving forward, urging them to “fight the good fight.” “You guys are an inspiration to all of us,” she said.

State of County centers heavily on infrastructure By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Infrastructure was a main topic at the June 29 State of the County address. Hamilton County GOVERNMENT commissioners Mark Heirbrandt and Christine Altman delivered the State of the County at the 4-H Fairgrounds Exhibition Center in Noblesville. Fellow county commissioner Steve Dillinger had delivered the address since 1989 but had to cancel his appearance because of testing positive for COVID-19. The Ind. 37 interchange at 131st Street is nearing completion, Altman said. The construction cost was $30 million. Heirbrandt said he was worried about complaints about the Ind. 37 and 146th Street interchange when construction started. “There is a lot of traffic that goes through this one,” Heirbrandt said. “But we’re really pleased.” The $30 million construction project is scheduled to be completed this fall. “I really haven’t gotten a lot of complaints about 37 traffic around here,” Heirbrandt said. “We had over 80 meetings with homeowners’ associations and businesses.” Altman said the interchange was originally designed as a double roundabout, but with traffic increasing, INDOT said it had to be redesigned to a single-point urban intersection. “It kind of made us cry a little bit because we wanted to have a signal-free corridor but it just isn’t possible,” Altman said. Construction at the Ind. 37 interchange at 141st Street is pending. The construction cost is pending with supply chain costs increasing. It is scheduled to be completed
in the fall of 2024. “Right now, it’s pending because there is a lot of utility risks that are there that have escalated the price,” Heirbrandt said. ‘We are going to move forward and get the utilities done, so we can take a lot of the risk out.” Heirbrandt said very rarely in his nine years as a commissioner has a county project gone over budget. “In this particular project, it’s had to happen,” Heirbrandt said. Another project is the 146th Street and Allisonville Road interchange, which is slated to begin the spring of 2023. The project, which is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2024, is estimated to cost $36.8 million, which will include $9.5 million in federal funds. “With meetings with homeowners associations, we knew we had to address this sooner rather than later,” Heirbrandt said. Heirbrandt showed the audience photos of traffic backing up for miles during rush hour. The plan calls for 146th Street to go over Allisonville Road in a grade-separated interchange. “The bad news is we are going to have to close Allisonville at that intersection for 90 days (during construction),” Altman said. Heirbrandt said it’s unfortunate the county is dealing with inflation on all fronts, such as fuel, labor costs, materials, etc. The commissioners said there are more than $50 million in reserves and rainy day funds. “We’re the only county in the state of Indiana that has a triple A bond rating,” Heirbrandt said. “We’re one of the only counties in the Midwest to have it.”

Continued from Page 8 pendent journalist Larry Lannan. Candidates answered questions from the audience about women’s rights, gun control, the economy and voting rights. Participants included Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Tom McDermott; U.S. House District 32 Libertarian candidate James Sceniak; U.S. House District 5 Democrat candidate Jeannine Lee Lake; Indiana House District 32 Democratic candidate Victoria Garcia Wilburn; Indiana Senate District 31 Democrat candidate Jocelyn Vare; and Indiana Secretary of State candidates Destiny Wells, a Democrat, and Libertarian Jeff Maurer. Candidates from both parties mostly agreed on women’s rights issues but seemed to differ on gun rights and safety. Sceniak, a behavior therapist, said “our politicians should not act as physicians” with regard to the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court. McDermott, mayor of Hammond, said he plans to be more involved in statewide politics and continue to listen to Hoosiers if elected to the U.S. Senate. He said he believes people of all parties should be able to assemble peaceably and respect each other no matter their political stance.
Lake, a journalist, told a personal story about her own abortion and stated that abortion decisions should not be up to politicians. She said especially in the aftermath of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting, military assault-style weapons should be banned and red flag laws should be in place in Indiana. Wilburn, a teacher, said she hopes to be a voice for minority groups, women and public school children. Vare, a member of the Fishers City Council, lauded Hamilton County for being one of the best and easiest early voting counties in the state. She wants to bring that mentality to the Senate to make the voting process easier and more accessible. Wells, a military intelligence officer, emphasized the importance of democracy. She said Indiana is not a “bright red state,” but rather “a purple state with a voter turnout problem.” Maurer said one of his policy concerns is voter registration. He said voters should receive receipts to establish a paper trail that can be traced instead of relying on technology. The Indiana Democratic party held another town hall in Zionsville June 30 and has others scheduled for this summer.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Main Street Executive Director Kate Baker expects plenty of people will have a pep in their step at the EVENT Noblesville Street Dance. The event, presented by Riverview Health, is slated from 6 to 11 p.m. Aug. 6 in downtown Noblesville. The event will feature Kelli Yates as the opening act and Groove Smash as the featured band. Tentatively, Yates will play from 7 to 8 p.m. with Groove Smash to follow. “It’ll be a great night of hits,” Baker said. The dance is Noblesville Main Street’s largest single-day event. “We expect a few thousand people to be downtown to enjoy the fun,” Baker said. “We have more than 20 vendors booked and hope to have many more.” Baker said an array of vendors and downtown merchants will sell food and products. “You’ll see some (merchants) that move out onto the street and some that keep their doors open,” Baker said. “It’s a great night to dine downtown, too.” Prior to the dance, the Hamilton County Artists’ Association will present its annual Art Fair on the Square from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, the Farmers Market will partner with Nickel Plate Arts to host Art Day at the Market from 8 a.m. to noon at Federal Hill Commons. Noble Coffee, in collaboration with Noblesville Main Street, will present Salsa on the Square Aug. 5. Salsa on the Square follows an earlier than usual Music and All That Jazz, featuring the David Hartman Band, from 5 to 7 p.m. as part of Noblesville Main Street’s First Friday series, powered by Duke Energy. Salsa on the Square continues the party for a 21-and-older crowd from 7 to 11 p.m.

Event showcases classic cars By Matthew Kent news@currentinfishers.com It’s fair to say that classic car owners enjoy showing off their beloved vehicles in the summertime with CHAMBER OF the public. The Greater Lawrence COMMERCE Chamber of Commerce’s June 29 “Music & Motors” event on the parade grounds of Lawton Loop in Lawrence featured more than a dozen cars, food vendors and live music. Among the cars visitors could see included a 1967 yellow Mercury Cougar, a cherry red 1960 Corvette, a classic Chevrolet Camaro and a 1993 Ford Mustang convertible that was one of only 1,500 special edition vehicles ever produced. The classic car event got its start during the pandemic every Wednesday as a vehicle to get people out of their homes, said Brad Klopfenstein, chamber president. Klopfenstein said Teachers Credit Union had approached the chamber and asked about possibly adding music to one of the Wednesday evening events during the summer. That eventually led to The Rock Garage, a music school in Castleton, to partner with

the chamber, according to Klopfenstein, who said the public can come out every Wednesday to check out a variety of classic cars. “The draw is that it’s a free event, it’s family friendly, and you can bring sandwiches and a cooler if you want,” Klopfeinstein said. “If you’ve got a classic car, it doesn’t cost anything to bring it out, so it’s mostly car aficionados who come out and spend a few hours on Wednesday, and it’s designed to bring people in the heart of Lawrence.” “Right now, it’s not for sale and it has too much family history,” she said.

COVER STORY
Current in Fishers currentinfishers.com
Fishers Entrepreneur creates new way to share video By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com A new Fishers-based product, Spokenote, runs on the simplicity of stick, smile, share. It was launched June 27 by John Wechsler, founder of Launch Fishers. “It’s like a virtual Post-It Note,” Wechsler said. “With a Spokenote sticker, you can add video to pretty much anything.” The product is printed with a QR code. The sender scans the code, records or uploads a video and sticks it wherever they want to share their message. On the receiving end, the person simply needs a smartphone to point their camera at the sticker, and the sender’s video instantly starts playing. Wechsler and his team have come up with more than 150 ways to use the product, including instructional videos, personalizing gifts, enhancing rental properties and helping patients remember home care instructions after being discharged from the hospital. It can also be used to send an encouraging message to loved ones — which was the inspiration for its creation. A few years ago, Wechsler was talking to a friend who said he wished he could send a video to a family member in the military stationed overseas. The idea inspired Wechsler to create a prototype that friends and family widely used. Wechsler said the technology behind Spokenote is more personal than a text or email. “It’s a new way to communicate,” Wechsler said. “And the power of video and spoken word is undeniable. Sometimes, text messages can’t emphasize the same way a voice message can. You can’t tell tone or inflection in a text, and that can actually make texts be taken the wrong way sometimes.” Real estate agent Allen Williams is already a fan of Spokenote. He said he uses the product when showing homes to showcase certain parts of the house. He also uses it to connect with clients who have previously purchased homes from him. He uses the sticker in cards to personalize the message. “The thing that I love about the Spokenote is when someone hits play, there’s only one way to take that video that they’re going to see and you’re able to really communicate that message in a very genuine way,” Williams said. “That’s really not up for interpretation.” Williams said that if he sees a sign in a former client’s yard who is celebrating a birthday or anniversary, he swings by with a $5 gift card with a Spokenote sticker inside. “It’s a great way to say, ‘Hope you have a fantastic birthday, Timmy, here’s a $5 Culvers gift card. Have your parents take you and get an ice cream on me,’” Williams said. Williams said QR codes have become more popular since the beginning of the COVD-19 pandemic. As a result, Spoke-

note is something people of all ages can see and instantly know what to do, he said. “It’s just easy,” Williams said. “Anybody can do it, and so it’s very well known as far as when you take that picture and you hit that scan, you know that you’re going to get something in return.” For more, visit spokenote.com or find the product on Amazon.

Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Anything we do frequently enough helps us develop a knack for it. We notice signals imperceptible to others, less experienced than we. Some of us can divine the impending arrival of a summer rainstorm. There are those who can instinctively read the frustration of a domesticated animal and use that insight to improve behavior problems. Many of these “pet whisperers” convert their unusual skills into lucrative careers. Their second sense becomes second cents. More commonly, we simply develop awareness of the many humble patterns all around us. If a step is missing, we subconsciously take note. No doubt, it is an echo from the day when observing the absence of singing birds or frolicking of woodland creature would tip us to the approach of an alpha predator. These few extra moments of warning might be enough to keep us alive. Frequent commuters will predict the time it might take them to arrive at their destinations within a few minutes of starting the drive. And many road warriors will know, nearly as soon as the crew, if something is wrong after the passengers have boarded an airplane for takeoff. As the crew scurries about, cabin doors are closed, oxygen mask instructions are given and familiar chimes sound as we prepare for takeoff. If any is out of place, we sit up a little, become more alert and look for irregularity. The jetway is removed from the plane but we’re not backing away from the gate. Why? The crew is not seated. What gives? Experience is a good teacher. It illuminates the shape of things. The captain comes on the intercom to tell us that a mechanical problem requires that we return to the gate. Groaning at the inconvenience, we turn to our companion and self-assuredly remark that we “knew that something was wrong.”
As I was walking on Galveston Beach, contemplating my last day as a dance mom, a stranger greeted me with “What’s going on, Red?” I haven’t been called that in years, which got me thinking about all the names I’ve answered to, and how they represent a sort of identity continuum for me. As a child, I was These days, I’m mostly “Danielle” “Mom” (or “Mother” if most of the my kids are feeling time, even particularly sassy) though it’s actually – DANIELLE WILSON my middle name, but I was also “Doe-well” to a younger sister and inexplicably “Fan Tut” to my parents. As I got older, I often found myself having to forgo “Danielle” in favor of my legal first name, which I will obviously never divulge voluntarily but will tell you it starts with a “V.” Yes, tragically my initials are “VD.” I know! I spent two years at the U.S. Air Force Academy, where predictably I went by my last name or simply “cadet,” though “Red” was used frequently along with some terms I can’t mention in polite company but were also colorful in nature. And once I started teaching, I was “Miss [insert maiden name here]” before eventually becoming “Mrs. Wilson” or simply “Wilson.” These days, I’m mostly “Mom” (or “Mother” if my kids are feeling particularly sassy) or “Ma’am,” though my husband will toss around “Wife,” “Woman” and a choice word for “lady of the night” when he’s trying to be funny. I’ll respond to any of them, really, though I draw the line at “Dan,” “Danny” and “D.” Those are unacceptable and forever shall be. Hopefully I have a long while until I acquire any new names. I am definitely not ready for “Mamaw.” Peace out.

Fishers PR, communications agency wins award By Matthew Kent news@currentinfishers.com A Fishers public relations and communications agency recently BUSINESS received a Best in Show award from the Public Relations Society of America’s Hoosier Chapter. Communications Redefined won the award June 1 at the Indiana Historical Society’s Eli Lilly Hall during the chapter’s 2022 Pinnacle Awards ceremony, which honors the best work in Indiana’s public relations industry. Communications Redefined was recognized for its work on the Baalbek Reborn Virtual Tour Launch, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the nation of Lebanon for its client Flyover Zone, said Angela Tuell, principal and CEO of the agency. Tuell said her agency assisted Bloomington-based Flyover Zone with the creation of media articles, social media content and more. The famous temple complex of Baalbek, the ancient Heliopolis in Lebanon, is one of the largest Roman religious sites in the world. Flyover Zone released an app, “Baalbek Reborn: Temples,” in March 2021 using the latest technology to reconstruct what today’s ruins looked like in the past. Users can choose to move either virtually through today’s excavation site or through the digital reconstruction of the ancient religious sites, according to a news release. There are 38 stops distributed across
the temple complexes presented by the researchers of the German Archaeological Institute, the release said. The virtual tour is free and can be downloaded on smartphones, tablets, PCs and laptops, in addition to virtual reality headsets. “What’s fascinating about Baalbek is not only the Roman temples, but also its almost 10,000-year history,” said Margarete van Ess, director of the Orient Department of the German Archaeological Institute and longstanding head of scientific research in Baalbek. “As an archaeologist, finds and research results give me images in my mind of what this special place looked like at that time. It’s fantastic that the temples are now given shape in the app and can be viewed by people all over the world!” Tuell, a former television journalist who created Communications Redefined in 2013, said her agency focuses on media relations, crisis communications, content marketing and more for the clients it works with. Her company also focuses on telling stories to audiences in different ways, she said. Tuell’s company has previously won the Best of Show award from the PRSA’s Hoosier Chapter five other times, adding that she’s proud of the most recent recognition Communications Redefined received. “It helps validate the work that we’re doing,” Tuell said.

Ways to prevent plantar fasciitis Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Plantar fasciitis is an injury affecting the ligament that runs along the bottom of your foot, from your heel to your PODIATRY toes. Called the plantar fascia, this connective tissue absorbs a lot of shock as you walk or run. Too much pressure on your feet can cause the ligament to get overstretched, inflamed and even torn, causing heel pain. It would be best to not develop this overuse injury by taking steps to avoid this painful condition. Here are four tips for preventing plantar fasciitis. Protect your mobility Limits on your foot’s flexibility can lead to plantar fasciitis. You’re more likely to have problems if you have tight muscles in your calves, flat feet or an untreated ankle injury. Come into the office at the first sign of pain or mobility issues and we can conduct a thorough exam and recommend ways to keep you moving — and keep heel pain at bay. Give your feet a break Standing for long periods each day puts
a lot of pressure on your plantar fascia. It makes your ligament work overtime, constantly stretching and contracting. Avoid overuse and inflammation by taking frequent sitting breaks throughout the day. Cross train and build in rest days Continuously subjecting your ligaments to high-impact activities like long or fast daily runs can inflame your plantar fascia. Even if you’re an athlete, it’s important to incorporate different types of movements into your training. And, when possible, take a day off between workouts to give your plantar fascia a real chance to recover. Try orthotics Orthotics offer support in the exact spots where your body needs it most. So, if your body’s construction leaves you at risk for plantar fasciitis, we may suggest fitting you for orthotics.

Hancock Health joins the Mayo Clinic Care Network By Peg McRoy Glover news@currentinfishers.com Hancock Health and Hendricks Regional Health have made a quantum leap when it comes to bringing state of MEIDCINE the art health care to the communities they serve. Both health care organizations have joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network, a collaborative network of physicians, researchers, and specialists who are available to provide the most up-to-date health care information. Members are independent health care organizations throughout the world and are carefully vetted before gaining membership into the network. “It was really clear when we got deep into understanding the organizations’ (Hancock Health and Hendricks Regional Health) culture, quality, and commitment to patient-centered care that these organizations stood out,” said Dr. Mark V. Larson, medical director of the May Clinic Care Network. “We are thrilled to join with them in this collaboration.” “At Hancock Health, and I would say Hendricks Regional Health as well, we have been on a journey for a long time to elevate the quality and care that we provide,” said Steve Long, president and CEO of Hancock Health. “Although we have experts like medical and radiation oncologists, there are things we just don’t have. “This network provides us the ability to access 150 years of learning at the Mayo Clinic and bring that learning right into Hancock County Health.” As members of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, they have access to Mayo Clinic’s
4,700 physicians and an international platform to consult experts all over the world. They can also access the following: • AskMayExpert — a database of concise clinical information on hundreds of medical conditions, and includes protocols, treatment recommendations, and medical references. • eConults — enables physicians to contact Mayo Clinic specialists for second opinions on specific patient cases when they believe additional input will benefit their patients. • eBoards — are live video conferences that enable medical team to virtually review and discuss cases with a team of Mayo Clinic specialists and doctors from May Clinic Care Network health systems. • Health Care Consulting — provides access to Mayo’s extensive experience, knowledge, and subspecialty expertise to attain clinical, operational, and business goals. “One of the things that we know is that providing health care locally to patients is best,” said Dr. Julia Compton, cancer care specialist at the Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Center in Greenfield. “One of the things that we want to do is provide any level of care for them without them having to leave home. If I have a cancer patient with a very difficult diagnosis that I may want to get the Mayo Clinic involved in, as opposed to having to send patients to Mayo, I can utilize this resource and provide that care to patients locally.” For more, visit Hancock Health’s website at hancockregionalhospital.org/mayoclinic/ or Hendricks Regional Health’s at hendricks. org/mayo.

An immersive experience: THE LUME displays Monet works By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com According to Indianapolis Museum of Art Vice President of Marketing and External Affairs Jonathan Berger, the ART Claude Monet exhibit at THE LUME is a full sensory experience. THE LUME recently switched its inaugural exhibit of Vincent van Gogh to one featuring French painter Claude Monet in a display called “Monet & Friends Alive.” The Monet exhibit opened July 3. THE LUME is on the fourth floor of the Indianapolis Museum of Art with 30,000 square feet of projection space. It is the largest continuous exhibition in the museum’s 139-year history. THE LUME opened in 2021 with the Vincent van Gogh exhibit that ran from July 27, 2021, through May of this year. The museum spent the month of June prepping for the Monet exhibit. Berger said visitors are greeted with a floral aroma upon entering the Monet exhibit. “THE LUME is a fully immersive experience,” Berger said. “When you walk into that first big gallery space, you’ll see these amazing images of ‘Monet & Friends’ and hear the music, of course, too. There are various classical tracks to go along that rise and fall with the images. When you see those Monet garden paintings, you’ll have this floral fragrance in there. It’s totally immersive.” Berger, executive producer of THE LUME, said the exhibit makes the museum less intimidating. “I studied art, so I’m a lover of art. A large museum, any large museum, can be somewhat intimidating to people if you’re curious about art but don’t really know where to start,” Berger said. “I think that THE LUME really de-mystifies that museum for a lot of people. You can go up to the fourth floor and explore and engage in art differently. When you come into THE LUME, these images are larger than life. There’s a floor projection and all the walls. It’s just a different way to explore art.”

A Parisian café on the fourth floor sells French-inspired snacks and adult beverages. Cocktails include a French gimlet and THE LUME and Tonic, with flower buds frozen in the ice cubes. “When the ice melts, these flowers bloom in your drink,” Berger said. “It’s a really tasty cocktail and really in line with Monet and that style of en plein air.” At the end of the Monet exhibit, the museum’s collection of Monet work is on display. “I like to use the phrase ‘skim, swim, dive,’” Berger said. “You come in and skim and enjoy the art for what it is, the projection and music and aroma. Then there’s those parts that ‘I don’t want to skim, I want to swim.’ I want to go a little deeper. You can interact deeper. In that final gallery, that’s where you really dive in and can look at the real artwork, the real Monet.” Berger said the IMA chose Monet as the exhibit for 2022 because the Indianapolis
Museum of Art and the Newfields campus is a place for nature and the arts. “Our mission is to have exceptional experiences with arts and nature,” Berger said. “I can’t think of a better artist that really identifies with that. You have Monet, the father of Impressionism, that did these great paintings outside in nature. That was all part of that Impressionist movement.” Berger said the innovation of putting paint in tubes meant artists could venture into the world and paint anywhere. “Monet would take two or three canvases with him to get the changing light of the day,” he said. THE LUME is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. It is closed Mondays. Tickets are $29 and include general admission to the IMA. IMA tickets do not include general admission to THE LUME. For more, visit discovernewfields.org.

CCP schedule offers variety By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Community Players’ 2022-23 schedule features a variety of shows and venues. COMEDY “It is a great combination of comedies, dramas, musicals and straight plays that come from some of our country’s best-known playwrights and composers,” said Rich Phipps, vice president of the CCP board. “Our season promises to bring compelling entertainment to patrons of all ages.” The season opens with “Jerry’s Girls,” a Broadway Musical Review, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at PrimeLife Enrichment in Carmel. The night will serve as a capital campaign fundraiser as CCP seeks to raise funds for a permanent venue. “Tick, Tick … BOOM!” is set for Oct. 14-23 at Switch Theatre in Fishers. “Uh Oh Here Comes Christmas” is set for Dec. 9-18 at The Cat in Carmel. The final four shows will be at Ivy Tech Hamilton County in Noblesville Auditorium. “Musical Comedy Murders of 1940” will be presented Feb. 24 to March 5,
2023. “True West” is set for April 21-30, 2023. “Godspell” will be staged June 16-25, 2023, and “Murder on the Orient Express will be presented Aug. 4-13, 2023. “We have not done any of the shows before at CCP, and that was the idea,” said Lori Raffel, CCP board president. ‘’I chose Ken Ludwick‘s ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ because I read some reviews about it and how it captures the tongue-in-cheek quality of Ken Ludwick along with the great characters of Agatha Christie. I think any more when you do Agatha Christie, you can’t take it too seriously and the script is unique and fun, and I think audiences will really like it.” Raffel said CCP performed “Ragtime” at Ivy Tech in April 2018. “We really liked the venue and we’re hoping to sell lots of tickets this coming season, so that’s why we chose it for the last four productions,” Raffel said. The ‘Godspell’ production is for rising young stars. Tanya Haas will direct the youth productions as she did earlier this summer. Eric Bryant will direct “True West,” a play by Sam Shepard.

Blueprint for Improvement: Curb appeal in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene Built in Carmel’s Avian Glen neighborhood, this home’s owners were looking to add dimension and architectural intrigue to the brick façade.
After
THE BLUEPRINT • A portico and columns add plenty of pop to the formerly plain exterior entry, as well as practical protection from the elements. • New double French doors replace the single front door for a stylish statement that welcomes visitors. • Stamped concrete on the walkway, rounded steps and entry provide style and durability. • White pine tongue-and-groove, stained in a rich wood tone, on the portico roof provides a warm contrast to the exterior elements. • Oversized lanterns and planters complete the look.

Making autological sense Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
Porziuncola in the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels in Assisi, Italy. (Photo by Don Knebel)
A visit to Franciscan Assisi Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in our second visit to Assisi, we look at sites associated with St. Francis. Francesco (“Francis”) di PiTRAVEL etro di Bernardone was born in Assisi in about A.D. 1181 to a prosperous Italian merchant and his wife, a French noblewoman. At about age 22, Francis abandoned his previously decadent lifestyle and became a beggar, to the displeasure of his father, who reportedly locked him in a storeroom. After a vision, Francis began restoring churches around Assisi, including tiny Porziuncola where he lived in a nearby hut and renounced his family and its wealth. Francis adopted the dress of a poor priest and began attracting followers to Porziuncola with his idea of a simple life of poverty, following the example of Jesus. In 1209, Pope Innocent III recognized Francis and 11 followers, who had traveled to Rome to meet him, as the “Franciscan Order,” requiring members not to own property and to beg for food while preaching in the streets. While close to death, Francis asked to be returned to his hut near Porziuncola and to be buried outside the city among thieves, emulating Jesus. Francis died in his hut on Oct. 3, 1226. Less than two years later, Pope Gregory IX declared Francis a saint and began building the Basilica of St. Francis on an Assisi hillside, previously the burial ground of criminals, as the saint’s burial site. The magnificent basilica on the renamed Hill of Paradise, including an Upper Church, a Lower Church and the crypt of St. Francis, is the most important destination for the thousands of pilgrims who visit Assisi each
I like to think of myself as a logical person, but as I dig into the English language, I find that much of GRAMMAR GUY our language is nonsense. English is a mutt of a language that breaks more rules than it keeps. While English may not be logical, I get a kick out of autological words. An autological word is a word that describes itself. Let’s start with the word “word.” The word “word” is a word. So, the word “word” describes what it is — a word. Are you hanging on my every word yet? I’m going to jump right into the deep end with this next example. The word is “recherché.” This word means “exotic, rare, obscure, elegant or pretentious.” The word “noun” is a noun. Remember how a noun can be a person, place, thing or idea? A noun is a thing, which makes noun a noun. One of my favorite autological words is “sesquipedalian,” which means a long, polysyllabic word. Polysyllabic, too, is an autological word.
Basilica of St. Francis.
Unhyphenated is unhyphenated. Don’t hyphenate it. The word “sibbilant” refers to a word having a harsh “s” or “sh” hissing sound. You can imagine a snake hissing the word: s-s-s-sibbilant. On the other side of the coin, we have heterological words. If autological words describe themselves, heterological words do not describe themselves. For instance, the word “misspelled” is not misspelled, although it’s easy to misspell it. The word “French” isn’t French; it’s English. In French, the word French is français, including the “c” with the tail on it (called a cedalia). Just when you think you’ve got English figured out, it throws a curveball right at your shin. And, while the word “verb” is a noun, “four” is still a four-letter word.
