Indiana SRN specializes in high school sports webcasts By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Most Indiana high school broadcasts are dependent on advertisers. Although it does BROADCASTING have advertisers, Indiana SRN — the state’s largest webdcaster of high school sports — is primarily funded by school subscriptions and donations. “I tell our schools there are two ways to fund this. You can fund it directly out of your budget, or you can raise money on your own,” Indiana SRN President Jerry Collins said. “We’ll take your advertisers and we’ll put them on. Most other competitors rely on (pizza shops) and car dealerships and those types of things.” The advantage is if the school raises more in advertising dollars or donations than the subscription cost, it can keep the difference, Collins said. Keith Meyers, a Lawrence resident, is the founder and vice president of Lawrence-based Indiana SRN, which is 13 years old. “We did internet radio before anyone thought about doing it,” Meyers said. “I think we were one of the original internet radio networks in Indiana.” SRN initially stood for Sports Radio Network, but the main focus now is webcasting, so Meyers said the company only uses the initials. This is the fourth year SRN is doing webcasts. “People want to watch it more than listen to it,” Meyers said. “We still have probably 25 percent of our games on internet radio with schools such as Frontier and Traders Point. We average four football games on Friday nights.” Then there are several broadcasts per week of soccer and volleyball games Monday through Thursday and Saturday in the fall. Meyers said SRN’s main sports are football and basketball but noted the company does webcasts for nearly all high school sports. It will add college football this fall when SRN begins webcasting Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference football’s Game of the Week on Oct. 2. Covenant Christian is the oldest client, having been with Indiana SRN for 11 years. Heritage Christian has been with it for five years and Guerin Catholic has been with it for four years. Traders Point Christian has

been with it for three years. “Those four schools are our mainstays, but we’re everywhere,” said Meyers, adding some schools hire the network for particular games. “Last year with COVID-19, we did 348 games,” Meyers said. “The year before that, we were in over 300 gymnasiums for basketball.” Meyers said he serves as announcer on at least three webcasts a week. Collins, a Lawrence Township resident, joined in 2013. Collins helped Meyers develop the webcasts. “Keith takes care of scheduling,” Collins said. “He hires and trains the announcers. He takes care of contacts with the schools, and he’s our sales guy. I maintain the website, do the graphics, mentor the production crews and take care of accounting and the billing.”

Meyers said there are 26 independent broadcasters that work with SRN. Meyers estimates six have been with SRN five years or more. Among the announcers are Jimmy Cook, a producer with Dan Dakich’s radio show on WFNI, and WIBC reporter Kurt Darling. “Bill Ludlow has been with me since Day 1,” Meyers said of the current Mt. Vernon broadcaster who’s called high school sports for more than a decade. Besides the games being on SRN, Meyers said most schools put the webcasts on their website as well. “Our slogan is, ‘We love to put kids on TV so grandma can watch Junior,’” Meyers said. Adult contemporary Christian music is available on SRN 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “We’ve reached over a million people over the last three years,” Meyers said.

Lisa and Mark Hall pause at the 2020 music festival supporting the couple’s nonprofit, feedingteam. org. (Photo courtesy of Mark Hall)

Festival to support food pantries By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Mark Hall’s goal is to pack the pantries to feed hungry neighbors. But Hall figures, why GIVING BACK not collect those items and donations with a music festival? Long-time Noblesville residents Hall and his wife, Lisa, started FeedingTeam. org in 2019. The musical festival is set from 1 to 10 p.m. Sept. 26 at Federal Hill Commons in Noblesville. Admission is free but Hall encourages attendees to bring a nonperishable food item. The event will support standalone pantries, where people can help themselves to canned goods and other items 24 hours a day. There are 24 pantries in Hamilton County, including 14 in Noblesville and one each in Fishers and Carmel. The festival will have five bands, food trucks, beer vendor tents and merchandise. The Bishops will open at 1:15 p.m., following comments by Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen. Following The Bishops will be performances by My Yellow Rickshaw, Mike Barthel Band and Colton Chapman and Jai Baker 3, a trio. Baker, who will play in Atlanta earlier in the day, will start at approximately 8:30 p.m. There will be a silent auction in the park’s Green Room, which will serve as a waiting room for the bands.

“We had a donor give us his NBA signed jersey collection, including a Kobe Bryant signed jersey,” Hall said. Hall said he is seeking two more sponsors. The event sponsors are Gaylor Electric, First Financial Bank and Hall’s company, TLX Talent Logistix. The corporate sponsor covers the cost of the bands, event insurance and venue. Hall said the festival was held outside at Noblesville’s Fraternal Order of Police’s Lodge 103 in October 2020. There were tents, a fire pit and three bands. Hall said 300 people attended and a little more than $3,000 was raised for the pantries, along with more than 3,000 donated items. Hall said he wants to double both totals this year. “We’ve tried to step up our game, big time, going to a nice big venue that can handle thousands,” Hall said. Hall said vendors chip in a small amount to be on-site. “The money comes from the sale of merchandise and the silent auction,” Hall said. Fourteen more food pantries are set to launch by the end of the year, Hall said. “We have a couple of Eagle Scout candidates that are building them,” he said. “We went through 4,500 meals in June. We can’t track what other people put in them. That’s just what we put in them.” For more, visit feedingteam.org.

Bostic sets example for CHS volleyball teammates By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School senior volleyball player Ella Bostic quickly gravitated to being a setter. “From a young age I was definitely drawn to the leadership role of setters and their ability to change the game,” Bostic said. “I’ve had great players older than me in club and high school to observe. My height allows me to be an effective setter from both the front and back row and also be an offensive option by tipping or hitting the ball.” The 6-foot-1 Bostic is in her third season as a varsity setter for the Greyhounds. “We have a really good rapport on how we like to run the offense,” said Carmel coach Kristine Wheeler Deem, whose nickname is “Wheels.” “She’s been a great asset to the program and is a fantastic leader among her peers. She is always willing to give everything she has got. She is a bigtime leader by example.” Deem said Bostic is having more of a vocal presence this year. “She is doing everything she can to keep

worked hard to create a supportive culture and I think we are starting to see dividends of their hard work.” Bostic said the goal is a Class 4A state title. “Personally, my goal this year is to be the best teammate I can be by setting, passing, serving and blocking well and being a good leader,” she said. “As a setter, I want my hitters and teammates to look good, so that is always a goal.” She would like to surpass 2,000 career assists, but added she is “more concerned about wins than my stats.” Bostic has played for Munciana Volleyball Club in Yorktown since age 12. “It is a one-hour drive, one way, from home, but worth every minute,” said Bostic, who has committed to play for the University of North Carolina next season. “The training, coaching and competition is exceptional. My teammates are all great players with bright futures in NCAA volleyball. In June, my team won the 18 Open AAU National Championship in Orlando, which was super exciting.” Bostic’s sister, Bonnie, is a sophomore volleyball player at Yale University.

Glow in the Park returns By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. Director Sarah Sandquist calls the EVENT annual Glow in the Park event a “family friendly rave.” Attendees of all ages are encouraged to wear a white T-shirt and be prepared to get sprayed with glow-in-the-dark paint. The event is from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheatre, which will be equipped with blacklights, so that everyone glows. “There are a bunch of different areas for paint distribution so we don’t have people crowding the stage,” Sandquist said. Event staff will spray paint from the stage, a catwalk and from several platforms throughout the amphitheater. Sandquist said it’s tough to socially distance during the event, so the parks department has es-

tablished a socially distanced area. “This is an event a lot of people come to and you won’t be able to space out as much as you’d like, although it is outside,” Sandquist said. “In the socially distanced areas, people can come and get sprayed with paint without being in the middle of the crowd.” Food trucks will be on-site, and there will be free face painting with glow-in-the-dark face paint from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. A graffiti artist will paint on a graffiti wall. There will be DJs, and 31Svn Street Dance Academy will perform breakdancing. The parks department will hand out free goggles and shower caps. All attendees must sign a waiver for the event. The waiver is available at playfishers.com/179/Glow-in-the-Parkor and at the event. There will be fog machines and lasers as well. “It’s super fun,” Sandquist said.

Golf outing to benefit St. Jude By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The American Legion Post 470 and ESA/Eta Pi Charity Golf Outing exceeded expectations amid the COVID-19 panFUNDRAISER demic in 2020 “We had low expectations of what we thought we could raise because everything was so weird,” said Kelly Greene, who founded the ESA/Eta Pi chapter in Fishers. “But because it was an outdoor event, people felt comfortable competing, playing, seeing their friends or co-workers. Our goal last year was $8,000 and we ended up making over $16,000.” The outing, which benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, is set for Sept. 23 at Ironwood Golf Club in Fishers. It includes a box lunch and adult beverages for golfers before the shotgun start. A dinner and silent auction at the American Legion, 9091 E, 126th St., Fishers, will follow the golf outing. A service organization based in Fishers, ESA/Eta Pi is accepting donated items or gift certificates from companies, organizations and vendors for prizes and a silent auction.

Lagers in Lawrence, BBQ & Blues set for same day By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com There will be plenty of activity in Lawrence with Lagers in Lawrence Oktoberfest and Fort Ben BBQ & Blues PANDEMIC being held the same day, Sept. 18. The City of Lawrence, in partnership with Indiana on Tap, hosts the fourth annual Lagers in Lawrence Oktoberfest while BBQ & Blues is presented by the Friends of Fort Harrison State Park, and the city serves as a major sponsor. BBQ & Blues is set from noon to 7 p.m. while Lagers in Lawrence is from 3 to 7 p.m. The occasion is the first time the events have been held the same day. Don McQuade, special events and director for Friends of Fort Harrison State Park, said the events will be one large celebration in the heart of Lawrence. “It’s great to be teamed up with the city as an event sponsor,” McQuade said. “Pairing the two events only enhances the drawing ability of both.” Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier said both events are very important to the city. “Lagers in Lawrence has grown impressively since its initial run three years ago, and Indy on Tap does a great job organizing the event with over 40 taps, food trucks, Polka Band and a variety of contests,” Collier said. “It will be held this year at our newly opened Fort Ben Cultural Campus, so we are pretty excited about the new venue.” Daniel Beyer, manager of communications for the City of Lawrence Controller’s Office, said the event will be an ideal way to showcase the new Cultural Campus. “The Cultural Campus is also an ideal setting for an Oktoberfest event like this,” Beyer said. New to this year’s event is the dachshunds race in an Oktoberfest Weiner dog racing event. “This idea came from Indiana On Tap,” Beyer said. “We have seen this at other Oktoberfest events around the country and thought it would be a fun new entertaining element to add to the event moving forward. We have nearly 40 dogs registered to race at this year’s event.” The Liederkranz Brass Band performed in 2019 and 2020. “They’re a huge hit with attendees and

County aims to improve roads By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County has taken an early step to redesign one of its most congested and dangerous intersections. ROADS The Hamilton County Council recently approved $800,000 and Hamilton County commissioners approved a contract for design work at 146th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway, an intersection bordered by Carmel to the south and Noblesville to the north. Conceptual drawings — which are not final — for the intersection show 146th Street raised above a roundabout on Hazel Dell Parkway with on and off ramps to connect the roads. “The intent right now is to move forward into the engineering of (the intersection) and at least get to 45 percent (completion of) plans and through the environmental review,” said Bradley Davis, highway director for the Hamilton County Highway Dept. “The environmental review could cause some changes to the concept.” Improving the intersection has long been a priority for Hamilton County officials, as quick growth in the area led to the intersec-

tion hitting 20-year traffic projections within eight years, according to Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt. Safety has been a concern, too, with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization ranking it among the top 50 most dangerous intersections in Central Indiana in a 2016 study. Davis said he estimates construction of the project to cost $30 million, and a funding source is yet to be identified. Heirbrandt said the county is seeking grants and sources of federal funding to help cover the cost.

COVER STORY

Current in Fishers

Fishers resident parlays ‘Live PD’ fame into comedy tour Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com During the course of 18 months, Charlie Kingerly went from living his childhood dream of being a police officer to fronting a nationally touring comedy troupe and starting his own clothing line. The journey has been swift and no doubt surreal for Kingerly, 33, who once tased a man dressed up as Santa Claus on Christmas morning. “I get a call, a car crash was just around the corner, so we got there pretty quick,” Kingerly said. “As soon as we roll up onscene, a guy in a Santa Claus outfit pops out of the door of a car. He had to be coming from a party or something and takes off running. I thought, ‘There’s no way this is happening.’ So I yelled, ‘Stop, Saint Nick.’ And he didn’t. “I have to be one of the only people in the world to have tased Santa Claus on Christmas morning.” Kingerly has been a Fishers resident since he married his wife, Christine, 10 years ago. The couple have two children: Landon, 8, and Audra, 5. He grew up in Beech Grove and played baseball at Franklin College. Kingerly’s interest in becoming a police officer was sparked by an uncle who was an undercover detective with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept. “I did some ride-alongs with him and fell in love with it,” Kingerly said. “Day to day, the job was never the same. You never knew what you were going to get. I enjoy being able to help people in some of their worst moments. That’s always been pretty big for me.” Kingerly has been in law enforcement for a decade. In 2018, he became an officer with the Lawrence Police Dept. Prior to that, he was a police officer in Fortville. He is currently a reserve officer for the Lawrence Police Dept. He might have remained a full-time officer had the television show “Live PD” not shadowed the officers in Lawrence. A NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT “Live PD” was a reality docuseries on the A&E Network that ran from 2016 to 2020. Camera crews would tag along with police officers on patrol on a nightly basis and broadcast events during the evening in

near-real time, with about a 10- or 15-minute delay. The LPD was part of the show for Seasons 3 and 4. From his very first appearance on “Live PD,” Kingerly was a magnet for attention, even though his first appearance did not go over well on various social media platforms. Kingerly was conducting a traffic stop during which the man he pulled over had, according to Kingerly, a “small amount” of marijuana in a bag. Kingerly gave him a warning and had him empty the bag on the side of the road and stomp the contents into the ground. What riled up Twitter was that Kingerly unwittingly littered. “As I’m walking back to my car, I’m putting my gloves back in my pocket and the plastic bag I was holding falls out of my pocket and lands on the ground. I didn’t notice it and just kept walking back to my car. They destroyed me on social media for littering on the ground,” Kingerly said. Beyond the rocky start, Kingerly enjoyed having the production crew shadow him most nights. He said his children enjoyed watching him at work, and his fellow officers enjoyed seeing the episodes. They’d go back to the station and watch a rerun of the episode that earlier in the evening they had helped film. The cameras also caught other aspects of Kingerly — such as the fact he likes to dance in uniform.

“I’ve never been a shy person when it comes to making people laugh and entertain them,” Kingerly said. Kingerly has been dancing since he was a young boy. He would watch clips of Michael Jackson and later Chris Brown dance, then practice until he had the same steps committed to memory. He danced in the talent show when he attended Beech Grove High School and dances in the kitchen with his wife and kids. “The show offered me a platform to show a different side to what law enforcement is,” Kingerly said. “I was the very first officer (that a lot of people saw) that was out there dancing in uniform. Cops show their more down-to-earth-side every day. I was just lucky to get a platform that allowed me to show myself and not be afraid to show myself.” Clips of him dancing on the show became so popular that he created a TikTok page in February 2020. As of Sept. 7, he has 2.4 million followers. He began making humorous reaction videos of other people’s clips. His exploits caught the eye of other law enforcement officers across the U.S., like Kevin Eudy, who for the last decade has worked in law enforcement in Charlotte, N.C., who was also trying to use social media to show a different side of police work. “We’re not just robots who are walking around in uniform,” Eudy said. “We have a fun side. We can laugh, we can dance, we show emotion.” Eudy and Kingerly connected to make a podcast, and in the winter of 2020-21, an opportunity presented itself to create a larger group and take their show on the road. TRANSITION INTO COMEDY Since April, Kingerly has been touring the U.S. with a comedic/musical troupe called Content Violation, performing mostly in bars that have a music stage. They will be at the Rockstar Lounge in Ft. Wayne on Sept. 25. “A bunch of us met up in November (2020) and we called ourselves the Ride Along crew for a little while, but we became Content Violation because we speak on real topics,” Eudy said. “We don’t hold back, and we don’t waver on who we are, and a lot of our videos got reported (on social media) and (some) people don’t like that and would rather us sugarcoat things,” Eudy said.

Kingerly said their comedy is very real, profane, patriotic and, at times, raw. The troupe is made up of eight men. Some are police officers and some work in farming. They pray at the end of their shows with the crowd. During shows they play music, perform skits and tell jokes and stories. “It’s three or four hours of leaving everything that’s going on in the world outside the doors and coming in and having a good time,” Kingerly said. Taking stock of the surreal last year and a half, Kingerly embraces the unexpected ride he’s on. “The reason I stepped out to do this was because I didn’t want to look back in 10 or 15 years and wonder, what if I didn’t take this chance and pursue it?” Kingerly said. “I could have just been a cop. I love being a cop, but you only get opportunities like this in your life every so often, if ever. And you never know what can become of it.” For more, visit contentviolation.com.

THIN LINE APPAREL A passion project for Charlie Kingerly, his web-based business Thin Line Apparel makes clothing, hats, and other accessors to support military, police, fire, first responders, nurses, teachers and farmers. “It’s a company that is everything that I stand for. You know, the underpaid and underappreciated hard workers in our country,” Kingerly said. The idea for the company was formed in late 2020 and was launched in April. Each month, the company donates a portion of its proceeds to a different charity or organization that resonates with Kingerly. The firm has supported a farm that was struggling in Virginia and a family of a fallen police officer. For more, visit thinlineapparel.com.

HUMOR

Easy come, easy go?

News flash: No news

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

We’re the most intelligent persons in the room. We work smart, not hard. We multitask. We benefit from a very, very expensive education. We have a good work/life balance. Simply put, we are better than others and don’t have to do as much as they do to keep up. We work too much. We have too much. It is time to stop and smell the roses. True, we don’t spend as much time planting, harvesting and preparing food. True, we have recovered hours per day that were formerly dedicated to chopping firewood and tending to large families. True, we have vacations and holidays and work-from-home choices. True, we have more entertainment options on our phones than a generation ago would have enjoyed in an entire city. Still, shouldn’t we demand a bit more leisure? Shouldn’t we enjoy a three- or four-day weekend every week? Why not? Advocates for government restrictions on how much we can work, or be expected to show up, have found new life in the murky world of COVID-19 lockdowns. Surely, the issue is productivity and output, not time spent? But in an increasingly competitive and global world, how long does it take before those who have a different take on the role of labor to catch up? Is work a burden to be eschewed or an opportunity to be made into advantage? How much smarter do we have to be than everyone else on the planet to stay on top without showing up? If talent matters, can LeBron James practice half as much as a lesser competitor and still dominate? Generational advantage not maintained rarely lasts. Are we good enough to be a part-time winner? Did our parents work hard so we could have a better life or an easier one? Are they the same thing?

Writer’s block is real, people, as I can attest to this week. I literally have nothing. Or perhaps it would be more apt to say that I have too much going on, but nothing column appropriate. Let’s explore. Does anyone really want to hear my opinions on Afghanistan, Texas abortion laws or the anti-mask/anti-vax crowd? Those of you who know me as the liberal pot stirrer probably would, simply for the entertainment value, but honestly, I can’t handle the inevitable hostile feedback. So, no, politics and current events aren’t on the menu. And I’m certain no one wants to read about my family’s struggle to find closure with Dad’s death, having had to postpone the funeral for an entire year thanks to COVID-19. It’s depressing and expected and hard for me to spin into any form of humorous commentary other than recounting my various emotional breakdowns in a particular McDonald’s drive-thru off I-65. I could always go down the parenting path of being elated about our current situation of having three-fourths of our chickadees off living their best lives while we focus all our attention on the baby of the brood. She’s not spoiled, I swear! But again, unless you are in a similar boat, our delicious lifestyle will just make you angry. So, yeah. I’m stuck. Nothing hilarious or horrific happened this week. No one sent me hate mail. My husband Doo, for the most part, behaved himself. The dog is still alive. School is going well. I’m not pregnant, sick, constipated or passionately obsessed with anything at the moment. Writer’s block is real, gosh darn it! Whatever will I do? Peace out.

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 subscription 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.

Anyone who previously received an mRNA vaccine will at some point be able to receive a booster shot, but local PANDEMIC health officials are unsure when that will be. On Aug. 18, the Biden administration announced Americans who were vaccinated at least eight months prior would be able to receive a booster shot starting Sept. 20. But Walker local health officials at the Boone County Health Dept. and Hamilton County Health Dept. said they have not received additional information as to when booster shots will be rolled out. Federal and local health officials said booster shots will require authorization by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel. Christian Walker, emergency preparedness coordinator for the HCHD, and Lisa Younts, director of nursing and vital records for the BCHD, said If booster shots are approved, they will be available where mRNA vaccines are administered, including at local health departments. “The last thing we had heard is that nothing is set in stone,” Younts said of when boosters might be available. “We’ve heard a range of dates, so nothing is set in stone.” Walker said boosters will be beneficial. “We are seeing waning efficacy (in the initial two doses),” Walker said. “The vaccines are not as effective as they originally thought, and this booster helps increase that (antibody) level to help fight the new, more virulent strains.”

A third dose of either Pfizer/BioNTech’s or Moderna’s vaccine was approved by the FDA on Aug. 12 for certain immunocompromised Indiana residents who received a mRNA vaccine. The shots are available and being administered to eligible individuals. Walker and Younts said some immunocompromised people might not have been able to develop the same protection as other people, thus requiring a third dose to gain the full benefits of the vaccines. “It is highly effective on boosting their antibodies within their system, and this is true of a number of other vaccines, as well, where based on their immunocompromising disease the vaccine is not quite as effective as it would be in a healthier body,” Walker said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that moderately to severely immunocompromised people receive an additional dose. This includes people who have: • Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood. • Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system. • Received a stem cell transplant within the last two years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system. • Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency, such as DiGeorge syndrome or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. • Advanced or untreated HIV infection • Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune response A second dose or booster shot of Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine has not been approved. The shots also would require approval from the FDA and a CDC advisory panel.

DISPATCH HCHD offers on-site vaccination clinics to businesses — The Hamilton County Health Dept. is offering on-site COVID-19 vaccination clinics to Hamilton County businesses. “Hosting a clinic at your workplace typically leads to more people getting vaccinated, which leads to fewer COVID-19 illnesses,” said Chris Walker, emergency preparedness coordinator. “Businesses with a high percentage of vaccinated employees usually see improved productivity, improved morale,

and a reduction in absence due to illness.” Businesses should consider hosting a workplace vaccination program only if they have enough space to stand up a clinic while maintaining social distancing through the entire process, from screening to post-vaccination observation. Businesses interested in setting up an on-site clinic can contact Chris Walker at Christian.walker@hamiltoncounty.in.gov or by calling 317-776-8500.

Feinstein, Schott headline Center for the Performing Arts free livestream gala By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Center for the Performing Arts annual gala will have quite a different format this year. FUNDRAISING “All Together Now! 2021 Gala” will be presented as a free livestream at 8 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Palladium in Carmel. The presentation starts at 7:30 p.m. with information about the auction items and videos with the live performance following. The fundraising gala will feature Center Artistic Director Michael Feinstein and his piano trio, led by Musical Director Tedd Firth. Other appearances will be by New York City-based performer Melissa Schott, a chorus choreographed by Kenny Shepard and other special guests. Arts philanthropists Schott Frank Basile and Cheri Dick will serve as emcees. “Because of the uncertainties of the pandemic at that point in time, we decided to go with virtual,” Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeffrey McDermott said. McDermott said the decision had to be made far in advance because Straight No Chaser was planned to be a headliner for a live event. “We had a lot of other catering and deposits that had to be made that were nonrefundable, so we made the determination to go virtual,” McDermott said. “As we watched things improve, we had people ask if it was possible to go to a live event and it really wasn’t at that point. We decided to book Straight No Chaser for next year. It was too late to go back and put things in motion that needed to be put in motion months earlier.” With the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, McDermott said the decision looks like the right one. “We did put together a hybrid event,”

McDermott said. “There will still be no live audience. We are going to have ‘Our All Together Wow!’ VIP experience in the newly renovated Founders Club, where people can pay to attend a three-hour celebration.” The VIP experience will have approximately 100 people, McDermott said. While the show is going on live in the Palladium, McDermott said guests can watch on monitors set up throughout the Founders Club and hallways. After the performance, Feinstein and guests will join the audience for an after-party. “We are taking advantage of the best of all worlds,” McDermott said. “Those that want to (can) be there as a paid VIP experience. Everyone else can watch the livestream free of charge.” Livestreams with Feinstein in the past year have drawn large numbers from several nations. “We really think it will show what we

are doing at the Center and expose us to even more people to donate and bid on auction items,” McDermott said. “COVID has made us do a lot of things differently, and hopefully this will provide a good experience for everyone.” Prior to 2020, when the gala was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Songbook Hall of Fame induction was part of the gala. “We are looking at the format of that and whether it makes sense to continue to have it as part of our gala or break it off into something separate,” said McDermott, who also is president/CEO of the Great American Songbook Foundation. “There are pros and cons to both having it as part of this and having it as its own event.” All funds raised through the event benefit the Looking Forward Fund, which supports the Center. To register for the livestream or purchase VIP tickets, visit thecenterpresents. org/gala.

The Nexus Impact Center, in partnership with High Frequency Arts and Indiana Originals, is hosting Art 4 Impact, a community event to celebrate the work of nine local artists and their interpretation of Equality for All from 4 to 7 p.m. Sept. 16 at Nexus Impact Center, 9511 Angola Ct., Indianapolis.

Indiana is ‘More Than Corn’ By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The first episode in the four-to-five-episode series “More Than Corn” premiered in late July at the Indy DOCUMENTARY Shorts Film Festival and is now available on Hoodox, a video streaming platform featuring exclusively nonfiction Indiana-focused content. The film’s director, Rocky Walls, director of 12 Stars Media in Noblesville, said the inspiration for the series stems from his desire to tell stories about people who are essential to the local food economy. “I think farming and growing, gardening and feeding people with locally raised food is really important to me,” said Walls, a Fishers resident. “I feel like you go out to a farm and it’s hard to point a camera in any direction and not film something really interesting and inspiring.” The series features Full Hand Farm in northern Noblesville. Each episode will be approximately 15 minutes long. “Ultimately, it’s about what’s going on on the farm,” Walls said. “The first episode

is the farm waking up. They farm yearround, but over the winter things look a lot different. So, the first episode you see snow melting away, and by the end of the episode, most of the snow has melted and they’re planting things.” The first episode of the “More Than Corn” series is called “Spring is Here.” “The whole premise is you watch what’s happening over a period of several months, but our mission ultimately is to reach Hoosiers and help them have more pride in Indiana and more pride in being a Hoosier and to abandon the idea or mindset that Indiana is just cornfields,” Walls said.

Carmel PorchFest back in tune By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com What began as a grassroots effort in Upstate New York to present music in a community setting has blossomed MUSIC into a wildly popular event in downtown Carmel. Featuring nearly 60 local bands and musicians on nearly two dozen porches, the eighth annual Carmel PorchFest will be presented from noon to 6 p.m. Sept. 19 throughout the Carmel Arts & Design District. Between 5,000 and 7,000 people are expected to attend the free, family friendly event, which has grown exponentially since its 2014 debut. Last year’s PorchFest was presented virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The Carmel community has supported PorchFest every year,” said PorchFest Event Manager Sondra Schwieterman, who has been in her position since 2018. “Each year, the event has grown in attendance and participation. Since 2018, we’ve increased the number of bands participating and the number of vendors at the event. “People in the community look forward to offering up their porches each year, and we rarely have any issues getting the public to volunteer.” PorchFests, which originated in Ithaca, New York, in 2007, are music festivals designed to bring neighbors and local communities together. They are presented annually across the U.S. and Canada on front porches and traditionally feature local musicians. Carmel’s 2021 PorchFest will feature a record 58 bands on a record 21 porches.

Guests are permitted to bring coolers, food, beverages, chairs and blankets. Dogs are permitted on leashes. “Of course, we will have plenty of food and beverage vendors,” Schwieterman said. “But we want the event to remain a casual, community event.” Vendors include Bier Brewery, Sugar Creek Winery, Peace Water Winery, Java House, Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria and Market District Supermarket. Apart from vendors, music is the star attraction. Styles range from acoustic to electric and solo to ensemble, touching an assortment of musical genres. Bands/ artists include Amy Thorn & the Nightcaps; Bedhead; Breanna Faith; Circuit Thursday; Convoy; Dear Lincoln; Derek Lee Bishop; Five After Midnight; Hannah and Jarred; Indy Gorgeous Club; island Party; and Keith Rea, among dozens of others. “(PorchFest) began as a grassroots opportunity to bring the community together and showcase local musical talent in a casual setting,” Schwieterman said. “Since its beginnings in Ithaca, PorchFest has expanded to cities all across the United States, with Carmel joining the ranks in 2014.” Volunteer-driven in the early years, Carmel PorchFest is now an incorporated organization that also presents Carmel’s Late Night on Main events. PorchFest weekend kicks off Sept. 17 with Late Night on Main performances by the Brothers Footman at 9 p.m., followed at 10:30 p.m. by Rain Dogs. For the full lineup of bands/artists, porch schedules, street maps and parking information, visit carmelporchfest.org.

Back to regular programming Commentary by Jeffrey C. McDermott As we head into the 2021-22 arts season this fall, one can’t deny an element of uncertainty posed by the VIEWPOINT lingering COVID-19 pandemic. I find comfort and inspiration, however, when I consider how we all have adapted, persevered and even excelled amid the unprecedented challenges of the past 18 months. I’m sure you have seen many examples of courage, compassion, creativity and ingenuity in how your families, neighborhoods, businesses, schools and churches have responded to new realities. I see many examples among my extended family of colleagues at the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation. Faced with the inability to gather people together physically for shared experiences — which is always at the heart of our mission — we found new ways to reach our patrons and develop new audiences. We beefed up our online educational resources and employed social media to maintain and expand our enrichment programs for people of all ages.

We also invested some of our untapped production budget in new video and streaming technology that allowed us to host national business conferences virtually, and to create new offerings like our Live at the Center livestream series, introducing local musicians to thousands of viewers across the state and nation. In all, our online events since early 2020 have reached more than 45,000 unique viewers. Now, our patrons, supporters and staff are looking forward to a season more typical of the Center’s first decade of operation. We have nearly 50 Center Presents concerts on the calendar, along with educational opportunities of every stripe and performances by our six fine resident arts companies. I hope you can take time to experience the inspiring, rejuvenating and community-building power of the performing arts this season.

Trailhead Naturals

From left, chocolate muffin, blueberry muffins and tahini fudge. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Editor’s note: The next several At the Table with Anna columns will spotlight gluten-free items. Address: Available online or at the Broad Ripple Farmers Market What to get: Chocolate muffins Price: $9 Anna’s take: Prior to exploring local options for gluten-free items, I was bummed to find lots of big-box store bakery items were dry and dense. However, that hasn’t been the case with the local spots, specifically Trailhead Naturals. I tried the chocolate muffins ($9 for a box of four) and could hardly believe that the decadent treats were glu-

ten-free and only sweetened with dates. I also was incredibly impressed with the blueberry muffins, which practically melt in your mouth, and the tahini fudge ($6 for a 4 oz. serving). The fudge was very chocolatey and full of delicious surprises, like cashews and goji berries. For the nonsweet crowd, try the falafels ($6). They’re baked and are made from garbanzo beans and packed with herbs and spices. Trailhead Naturals’ products also are 100 percent plant based, so it’s a safe place to order if you’re vegan.

Getting out of the woods Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

French Lick Springs Hotel in French Lick. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Restoring hotels’ past glories Commentary by Don Knebel In the 1920s, West Baden Springs and French Lick, with world-famous mineral springs, were hosting hunTRAVEL dreds of people a day in their mile-apart resort hotels. All that changed with the Great Depression. The West Baden Springs Hotel closed in 1932 and became first a Jesuit seminary and then a campus of Northwood Institute. The French Lick Springs Hotel continued operations but suffered another blow when Gov. Henry Schricker closed the area’s illegal casinos in 1949. Between 1930 and 1960, French Lick and West Baden Springs lost about 22 percent of their populations. In 1991, an exterior wall of the vacant and deteriorating West Baden Springs Hotel, once the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” collapsed. In 1992, Indiana Landmarks funded structural stabilization of the West Baden Springs Hotel, a National Historic Landmark since 1987. Beginning in 1996, Bill Cook, founder of Bloomington-based Cook Group Inc., and his wife Gayle began funding extensive restorations of the West Baden Springs Hotel and its grounds, replacing the four Moorish towers demolished by the Jesuits and reconstructing the natatorium. In 2005, after Indiana authorized a French Lick casino, a Cook company acquired the French Lick Springs Hotel and built a casino adjacent to the hotel. After improvements costing more than $500 million restored both hotels to their original opulence, they opened to the public in 2006 under common ownership, with a trolley running between them. Their meticulously maintained grounds include 30 miles of hiking trails, a stable and three challenging golf courses. The reopening of the hotels has revitalized their communities, exemplified by the French Lick West Baden Museum that opened in 2011, celebrating the history of the area and of Larry Bird, its

I’ve been getting into native perennial gardening this year. Of all the plants I’m growing, I love milkweed the most. Seventy-three species GRAMMAR GUY 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 something ugly and undesirable. In an effort to rebrand milkweed, I think we should start calling it “butterfly happy plant.” It could work! I apologize 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 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. 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

PUBLIC NOTICE In accordance with Indiana Code 327 IAC 15-5-5 from the NPDES General Permit Rule Program, this is to notify the public that the following construction activity is to commence: The project is located on the E side of Parkside Dr, approximately ¼ mile S of the intersection of Parkside Dr and 131st, more specifically located at 12915 Parkside Dr in Fishers, IN. The project involves the construction of a 3-story senior lifestyle building (±47,206 sft per story, ±141,617 gsf total) that will total 119 living units along with four parking garages. All curbs, sidewalks and driveways necessary shall be constructed to the City of Fishers Standard Construction Details and specifications. All stormwater shall be collected via proposed storm sewer network that will treat for both water quantity and quality. The treated runoff will outlet to an existing ditch along the southern boundary of the site, drain to an existing 36” open end section that drains across Parkside Dr to an existing pond located SE of Parkside Dr and Publishers Dr. The stormwater will ultimately reach Shoemaker Ditch and eventually White River.

unnecessary detail about a policy or initiative. My opening paragraph is an example of getting “in the weeds” about milkweed. Don’t ever ask a triathlete about how his last race went, because he’ll get into the weeds about every agonizing detail of his recent competition. 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 better yet. By this logic, being “in the woods” means someone is on death’s door or incredibly sick. Getting “out of the woods” can also mean a person is trying to come out of a difficult situation. You might hear a person who lands a good job after being unemployed say, “I finally got out of the woods with this new job.” In general, being in the woods or in the weeds are negative situations, unless you’re a nerdy type who, say, reads an entire column on parsing out two similar-sounding phrases.
