Hamilton Southeastern Schools an nounced Aug. 26 that Supt. Yvonne Stoles has selected local attorney Daniel E. Henke to lead an independent inquiry into a recent incident at Fishers High School involving a student assignment.Whenthe younger brother of fallen El wood Police Dept. Officer Noah Shahnavaz returned to classes as a student at FHS fol lowing Shahnavaz’s death, he encountered a sign in a classroom that read “Defund the Police?” on his first day back. Officer Shahnavaz was a Fishers native and 2016 FHS graduate who was fatally shot during a July 31 traffic stop. School officials said the poster was from a research project made by a student that looked at the pros and cons of defunding the police. The poster was removed from the classroom, and the school district and school board released statements apologiz ing for the incident.

However Fishers One, a grassroots, com munity based, organization, have pushed back on HSE after this incident, stating the school needs to focus more on academics.

“We continue to provide great value to our citizens in a very, very tax-efficient manner. We look at cost-saving measures where we can. I think we provide a lot of value” Weingardt said.

“This incident, along with many others over recent years, reiterates exactly what our organization has been hearing since our inception,” Diane Eaton of Fisher’s One stated. “The community has lost confidence with the Hamilton Southeastern School District, with its direction, and lack of focus on education. We are supporting four new board candidates this fall to change that around. Tiffany Pascoe, Juanita Albright, Dawn Lang, and Ben Orr are committed to getting HSE Schools back to the core of education, parental involvement, and admin istrative accountability.”

The self-contained unit is mounted on the exterior north wall of the Pavilion building for easy access. “The addition of this AED is to ensure quick and efficient treatment of someone suffering from cardiac arrest. This AED is designed to be used by the first people on scene during a cardiac arrest,” said Lt. Will Ortiz, deputy public information officer for Fishers Fire & Emergency Services. “It is designed to be used by people with minimal first aid training as it provides easy-to-fol low audible instructions. “As the number of events and crowds increase at the Nickel Plate District com plex, we realized the need to have this tool available to the public.” Ortiz said even though one of Fishers’ fire houses — Station 391 — is part of the NPD complex, the run volume continues to increase and there could be times when firefighters might not be “on station” to respond“Researchquickly.suggests that bystander AED use prior to EMS arrival in public settings is associated with better survival and neuro logical outcomes,” Ortiz said. “As a result of our city’s population growth and citizens’ continued utilization of its open spaces, we hope to have additional AEDs installed in other locations such as the Nickel Plate trail and parks throughout the city.”

New pickleball courts coming to Fishers By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com

The Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety voted Aug. 9 to install six new pick leball courts at Holland Park. Parks and Rec reation Dept. Director Sarah Sandquist said the courts should be open by the end of October.

“Pickleball was her lifeline,” Farley said. “She kind of found her family that she had gone through several different life experi ences and people really supported her in pickleball and it was really a saving grace forTheher.”new lights cost $28,000. Most of the money was raised through GoFundMe pages and some was via two $5,000 anonymous grants.Farley said the new lights have allowed people to play later on the courts with a longer allotted amount of time to play.

Last summer, the central Indiana pickle ball community also lost Rosie Hall Mitchell, who died of cancer. Farley said Mitchell was popular in the pickleball community.

The project will be completed by the Charles C. Brandt construction company and will cost the city $359,900. The money will come from the Fishers 2022 budget.

One of the deceased players, Chris de Monclin, died suddenly last year of a heart attack at the age of 46. He and his wife, Carole, could be seen playing well into the evenings during the summer, Farley said.

“Pickleballers are truly a community,” Farley said. “And it showed when these two people passed away, they came together and said, ‘Let’s honor them in such a cool way. I think both people really loved the community and would have wanted to, in their way, support the community.”

“My husband teaches beginner pickleball classes and there’s 24 beginners every month (in his class). That means the need for pickleball courts is just going to contin ue to increase,” Farley said. “So, we’re all excited about having more courts open up over there (at Holland Park).” Lights on four of the eight courts at Cyn theanne Park to allow for nighttime play. Funds for the lights were raised by local pickleball players in honor of two fellow players who died suddenly last year. The lights cost about $40,000, and the Fishers Parks Dept. contributed about $6,500.

The project also will include seating around the courts for players waiting to play or for spectators. The courts will be south of the soccer fields at Holland Park, 1 ParkLisaDr.Farley, president of the Indy Pickle ball Club, said pickleball is growing and she is excited to see new courts in Fishers.

The project includes a trailhead plaza along the Nickel Plate Trail and will have art exhibits along the trail. The Fishers Arts and Cultural Commission partnered with Re bar Development earlier this year to propose the trailhead sculpture with a budget of $50,000. The sculpture, titled “Synapse,” will be created by Indianapolis-based artists Luke Crawley and Quincy Owens. “The city really was a big part of supporting Fairway as entrepreneurs and wanting to make sure we engaged the trail and created the trailhead and arts to just really think about how we can be a part of what’s happening in downtown (Fishers),” said Shelby Bowen, president of Rebar Development. “So, it’s more than just the office building, as you can see from the renderings. It’s really got a cool trail engagement piece.”

Hamilton County Election Administrator Beth Sheller said students should request ballots as soon as they have their campus mailing address. “The deadline is only 12 days before the election, and while our office processes requests on the same day we receive them, we send them in the mail and you return them by mail, so there could be delays,” ShellerShellersaid.suggested that individuals visit indianavoters.org to request absentee ballots.

In Indiana, those students could change their permanent addresses on their registration to that of their campus residence and could vote at the polls on election day if they prefer, she added.“Itis just a personal preference for each student,” Sheller said, noting that students can’t vote in both their college towns and their hometowns. “Often, campus groups help students make these changes. Stu dents going to college outside Indiana should check their states’ requirements for this.”Students are also encouraged to check the League of Women Voters’ website, vote411.org, that offers information about candidates in races across the country with the ability to tailor the information to a user’s street address. The features will be live in early October with the start of early voting.“Ifstudents want to learn more about their hometown candidates or candidates in their new locations, they can simply type in their addresses to learn who the candi dates are and why they want to hold the office they are running for,” Dick said. “Local leagues all over the nation, including ours, collect information from local candidates to add to the site so that voters can make their decisions.”

Hamilton County has updated its zoning ordinances that includes additions for andsolarcommercialrightsalsoes tablishes a U.S. 31 overlay district.Thechanges, which have been approved by the Hamilton County com missioners, now means that the county has a unified development ordinance, which replaces Hamilton County Zoning and Subdivision Control ordinances that had been in effect since 1990.

The two biggest zoning changes in the ordinance involve commercial solar proj ects, in addition to growth along the U.S. 31 corridor, according to the county. Article 8 of the UDO establishes a Commercial Solar Energy Systems Overlay District that is meant to develop a process and standards for solar-generated energy while also pro tecting prime farmland.

Article 10 of the UDO also establishes a U.S. 31 Overlay District, which the county says will help promote coordinated develop ment and increased architectural standards for properties adjacent to and adjoining Dunbar Road on the west side of U.S. 31 ex tending from 216th Street to 296th Street. “This is a prime area for development in Hamilton County,” Heirbrandt said. “The new ordinance encourages capital investment and economic development in this area by promoting increased density and mixed-use developments.”Copiesofthe UDO are available in the county’s Plan Commission office, while in formation can also be found on the county’s website at hamiltoncounty.in.gov.

“Hamilton County has grown and changed immensely since the adoption of its Zoning and Subdivision Control ordinances some 30 years ago,” said C.J.

ZONING

I grew up in the kitchen, but it wasn’t until college, honestly, that I began to have a passion for it. Only because, for some reason, I was very attracted to food TV. Like I absolutely loved watching Food Network and all the cooking shows. That’s where I just started to pick up all the little tricks and all my technique and just learned. I just soaked it all in from watching Food Network. Honestly, I didn’t even read any books or anything, I just watched and learned and practiced.

Murphy, 34, was selected the Season 11 winner by “Master Chef” judges Ramsey, Joe Bastianich and Aarón Sánchez for her fourcourse meal of steak tartare canape, lobster ravioli appetizer, crispy-skinned duck entrée, and blueberry lavender panna cotta dessert.

Don’t be afraid in the kitchen. I think that’s the biggest thing, just experiment and don’t feel like it has to be perfect. I think that goes with anything that we’re trying to do. I think a lot of times when we’re trying to do something new, we avoid it because we’re afraid we’re not going to be perfect at it right at the beginning or we don’t want to put something out there until it’s the best thing ever, and it just takes time. And nowadays, it’s so much easier with the internet and YouTube and all those things to access education, especially in food. You know, there’s such a bounty of infor mation out there that anybody could be a professional chef.

Winner of reality show shares thoughts on cooking career

By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com

What follows is a Q&A interview with Mur phy, who competed against 15 contestants during 18 episodes of Season 11, which first aired June 2, 2021.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO COOK?

WHAT WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO GET INTO COOKING?

COVER STORY

THE TEST KITCHEN as far as I can go. I think that’s just really important, like telling moms that you don’t have to pick just one, you can do both things really well. It’s not always going to look perfect and it’s always going to be perfect. It goes a long way to bring your kids along for that journey. Even today, I had my two boys with me and I brought them to the restaurant while I had to cook, and while it’s cer tainly not perfect with my babies like running around the back of the kitchen and it’s chaos, they get to watch mom in her element. So, to me, it feels so much more like a family journey than it is just me sacrificing my parenting or sacrificing being with my kids to do my job and build this career. So, that’s really kind of what I’m trying to do and show all the moms, and even dads, out there that you can do both.

It’s so important for, at least my story, that I am a mom and I’m still managing parenting and being a mom to these three kids while also building something really big, and I’m going to take this thing

He just has such a passion for teaching and educating and really getting the best out of everybody. While he does have that persona he plays off on TV, it’s definitely different in real life. He’s not that mean in

HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO COOKING?

The Test Kitchen is at 9713 District North Dr, Suite 1210 in Fishers and houses Gordito’s Rust Belt Tacos and Tortas, Inspo by Chef Kelsey Mur phy and One Trick Pony Diner Style Burgers.“(TheTest Kitchen) is a newer concept, but it’s very much a way to show the community that there are fun ideas out there and that there’s really talented people in their com munity that have the ability to make some really great food,” said Levi Kinney, operations director and own er of Gordito’s Tacos and Tortas.

WHAT WAS YOUR MASTER CHEF EXPERIENCE LIKE?

Just running around. I have three kids, they’re 5, 3 and 1, so that’s usually what I’m doing. But also, I’m a big exercise person. I love running. And honestly in my free time, I still really enjoy just being in the kitchen. I enjoy making my kids’ food and doing fun things in the kitchen that aren’t work related.

It was honestly amazing. It’s just like such a whirlwind and such a cool expe rience, but obviously super stressful. We were filming pre- and post-pandemic, so that added kind of like a completely different layer to the entire experience. We went out and started filming like in February or March of 2020, and then got shut down because of COVID, and then I had to go back out and finish filming sev en months later, when I was 25 weeks pregnant with my now 18-month old. So, it was such a high-stress environment, but it was an awesome learning experi ence. Not even just like for cooking, but in self-discovery.

So, if I have a day and I just want to cook one thing for myself or just for fun, I love making homemade pasta. It is definitely like my favorite thing to do. I think there’s just so many possibilities with it. So many shapes of pasta and so many different things you can do with it, and for me it’s so authentic to make the dough and roll pasta and make sauces. So, that is definitely my favorite thing, and it comes from being part Italian I think.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU’RE NOT COOKING?

I love seafood, I’m a huge seafood fan. Fresh seafood is something that I’m very passionate about, and if I ever get a more fine-dining establishment, it will definite ly be pretty heavy-seafood focus. But if you were to ask me like my all-time two favorite foods, honestly, are French fries and peanut butter.

Some might argue that among the modern indications of a coming apoc alypse is the increasing proliferation of guilty-pleasure entertainment. Video shows like “Real Housewives” and “Teen Mom” have pushed traditional trash like “Jersey Shore” down in the ratings. The more shocking, the better. The line be tween cutting-edge, pornographic and just plain dumb continues to be under attack.Does it all really matter? Are we smart enough to understand that these “real-life” dramas are not real life at all?

For decades now, we have been con cerned about the impact of violence on television in the lives of young people. The conventional wisdom held that most rational folks discern between the make believe and the genuine. The argument goes, if humans could not tell the differ ence between reality and pretend, chil dren would be dropping anvils on the heads of their siblings, ala Wylie Coyote trying to slow down the Road Runner. Even kids figure it out. But as we have moved to an industry that claims realism as a cardinal virtue, can we trust that social media influ encers and reality television are giving us the true story? What are the con sequences and who owns them? MTV broadcasts a program, “Catfish”, which tracks down and confronts the errant partner in an online romance who re fused to meet in the physical world. As expected, most turn out to be con art ists. Often, they assume identities and deceive others into giving them money, compromising photos, or their hearts. They are rarely the gender, age, orienta tion, or standing that they claim. Some seem very happy to be “famous” for a minute. Hurting strangers made them important! Does the program help the victims through a cathartic humiliation of the perpetrator as it claims? Or does it empower the losers by fulfilling their actual desire: notoriety? Do they care?

HUMOR

A few weeks ago, I was guilted into driving with my oldest daughter to Colorado for her senior year in college. She wanted to have a car with her, and even though she could have made the 16-hour road trip alone and she didn’t need me to join her, she not so subtly dropped hints that anything less than my personal companionship would be paramount to child abuse. I caved. Em barrassingly fast. But what can I say? I’m a Leadingmom. up to the departure date, I obsessed about my survival strate gy. This kid is one of our talkers, like stream-of-consciousness, doesn’t-comeup-for-air, word-vomit-kind of talker. And her passions are K-pop girl bands and microbiology, two topics in which I am woefully uninterested. If I couldn’t mitigate the verbal deluge, the debilitat ing nothingness of Kansas would be the least of my concerns. So, I made a list of “safe” conversation starters, queued up several episodes of “Armchair Expert,” and acquiesced to the fact that for at least part of the drive, I’d be a fully en gaged, active listener, even if it meant enduring a diatribe on the latest Black pink drama or miraculous discoveries in parasitology.Itendedup being a wonderful experi ence. Did I roll my eyes countless times before we crossed the Indiana-Illinois border? Yes. Did she speak endlessly on the aforementioned subjects, oblivious to my blank expression and thinly veiled irritation? Of course. But will I forever look back on that Saturday with fond ness, grateful for those precious mo ments with one of my girls? Absolutely. Because who knows when I’ll have her all to myself again. What can I say? I’m a mom. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at info@youarecurrent.com.

Sweeping thoughts on vacuum cleaners have always felt there is something frightening about vacuum cleaners. Every dog I have ever owned agrees.

Walking for arthritis — Walking is so beneficial in fighting arthritis pain that it’s con sidered 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.

Video game stock growth — The video game industry is booming. The global video game market is likely to double to $300 billion in revenue by 2025, according to tech research firm GlobalData, driven by the expansion of mobile-phone and online gaming. Also, there has been tremendous growth in games played by multiple players over the Internet, such as Fortnite, in which 100 players fight against one another for survival. And rather than buying individual games in stores such as GameStop, players are paying fees for monthly subscriptions to online services that allow them to stream or download games. Two sub scription services, Apple Arcade and Google Stadia, were launched last year, but they’ve had lukewarm results, partly because of competition from free online video game providers such as Epic Games, the privately. Epic made more than a billion dollars in 2019 by selling optional virtual accessories such as character outfits. Investors should focus on third-party video game publishers with a history of churning out blockbuster games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Two attractive video game publishers now are: Activision Blizzard (ATVI) hits include World of Warcraft, which has had $9 billion in reve nue since 2004.

“Nunsense” might begin with the un timely death of 52 nuns, but there is no doubt the musical is really just for laughs. “It’s very lighthearted and heartwarming,” Karen Sheridan said. “The premise is very fun. It harkens us back to a time when we were all little people sitting at little desks. The music is really clever as well as the lyrics.”

“I actually was not very familiar with the show before I auditioned,” said Wein feld, who plays Sister Leo. “It’s fun to ex perience something that is new,” Weinfeld has listened to the recordings.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Sheridan, who is directing Actors The atre of Indiana’s production of “Nunsense,” has previously directed the show and act ed in “Nunsense II: The Second Coming.” ATI will present the musical from Sept. 9 to 25 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. ATI last performed ‘Nunsense’ in 2010. The plot centers on when Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poi soned 52 of the sisters, the surviving nuns are suddenly in dire need of funds for the burials. Five sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a vari ety show in the school auditorium. “The audience is part of the show,” said Sheridan, who lives near Detroit. Stephanie Wahl, a Butler University graduate, plays Sister Mary Amnesia. She also performed that role for the Peninsula Players’ Production in Fish Creek, Wis. Sheridan directed that show and suggest ed Wahl send her information to ATI. Wahl also performed as Sister Mary Leo in a 25th anniversary off-Broadway production of “Nunsense.” She was on the 30th anniversary cast recording as Sister Mary Leo. She also appeared in some other “Nunsense” sequels. “It brings so much laughter,” Wahl said. “The favorite thing that I get to do is for two hours we all forget everything we have to do in our lives. We all forget the worries. You come in and live another life for a while and enjoy yourselves. I love changing people’s lives for the time that they are there.” Wahl said the jokes, like the older Vaudeville jokes, are timeless. “You can always see something of someone you know or yourself in it,” she said. “The nice thing about the show is that Danny Goggin has given everyone their time to shine. That’s the way the show is set up, too.” Indianapolis resident Suzanne Stark has long wanted to be in a production of “Nunsense.”“It’sabsolutely one I wanted to do,” said Stark, who plays Mother Superior. “I’ve seen some really wonderful performers do these roles, so I have some big shoes to Starkfill.” agreed with Wahl that it’s a true ensemble“Everyonepiece.has their moment that is going to make the audience laugh hard,” Stark said. “I got a couple of scenes that I think are especially hilarious. The interac tion between the five girls is really funny. I think each of us gets a solo. We’re all involved in group numbers. There are du ets and trios.” Stark made her ATI debut in “Ruthless” in Rachel2019. Weinfeld, a 2017 Ball State Uni versity graduate who lives in Burlington, Vt., is making her first appearance at ATI.

Custom alder wood cabinetry, trim and shelving bring a soft and natural element that grounds the space with clear stain that allows the wood grain to shine and ensures durability. A seated-level makeup vanity puts cosmetic drawers within easy reach, providing space for effortless organization. The herringbone pattern floor tile makes white on white anything but boring by adding texture, pattern and clean lines along the shower wall.

A brief history of Val-Kill

GRAMMAR GUY Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Continuing our road trip to and from Cape Code, today we make the second of three stops in Hyde Park, N.Y., visiting Val-Kill, the final home of Eleanor Roos evelt, wife of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.Val-Kill,Dutch for “Valley Stream,” lies along a stream 2 miles from Spring wood, the house Eleanor and Franklin shared with his mother. FDR purchased the land in 1911 for family outings. In 1924, Eleanor and two friends, Nancy Cook and Marion Dickerman, planned a new use for the site. The original idea was for a rural retreat for the women that included a small shop for teaching woodworking. Construction of the Stone Cottage, designed in part by Franklin, an amateur architect, began in 1925. Before Stone Cottage’s completion in 1926, the women built a factory on the property for Val-Kill Industries, hiring unemployed artisans to create and sell reproduc tions of early American furniture. FDR was the first customer, purchasing fur niture for his cottage in Warm Springs, Ga. The women later expanded the factory and added a forge to produce pewter items. Val-Kill Industries, which served as a model for part of FDR’s New Deal, went out of business in 1936. Elea nor turned the factory into a residence, creating Val-Kill Cottage. When FDR died in Warm Springs in 1945, Val-Kill Cottage became her primary residence, where she hosted national and world leaders. In 1977, Congress designated the 181-acre Val-Kill site as the Eleanor Roo

Let’s get into the weeds. This term has multiple applications and definitions. First, a golf shot can land in the rough, which is tall grass or weeds, as opposed to on the shorter grass of the fairway or green. Being in the weeds is a precarious position for your golf ball and can lead to killer divots.

Addition Reduction

I’ve been getting into native perennial gardening this year. Of all the plants I’m growing, I love milkweed the most. Sev enty-three species of native milkweeds grow in the United States, and these plants are the exclusive host plants for monarch butterflies. When people hear “milkweed,” they think of some thing ugly and undesirable. In an effort to rebrand milkweed, I think we should start calling it “butterfly happy plant.” It could work!Iapologize for getting in the weeds about milkweed. This brings me to discussing and distinguishing a pair of flora phrases, “in the weeds” and “in the woods.” Let’s take a quick hike down a linguistic path in order to better understand these expressions.

If you’ve ever worked in the restaurant industry, you know that “into the weeds” means that the kitchen and wait staff are busy to the point of total disorder. Being “in the weeds” happens when a server has too many tables to handle or if several patrons order entrees at the same time, leading to a backlog in the kitchen. Political policy wonks love to get into their version of “the weeds.” In this case, getting “into the weeds” means going into unnecessary detail about a policy or initia tive. My opening paragraph is an example of getting “in the weeds” about milkweed. Being “in the woods” means something altogether different. When someone “isn’t out of the woods yet,” it can mean that she is quite ill and hasn’t gotten yet better. By this logic, being “in the woods” means someone is on death’s door or incredibly sick.
