Fishers resident uses podcast to celebrate state parks
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
When Allison Martin was looking for a podcast topic, she wasn’t sure she could find something that hadn’t been done already.
ADVENTURES
“It always seemed like a fun idea, but what are you going to do it about — everybody’s got a podcast,” she said. “One night, I had the phrase ‘In The Parks’ pop into my head and I thought, ‘Well, I wonder if anybody has done a podcast and told the stories of Indiana State Parks?’”
Turns out that nobody had done that, and Martin said it seemed like a story that needed to be told. She reached out to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, officials there supported her idea and she now has about five months’ worth of content available for people to learn about outdoor adventures close to home.
Martin, who grew up in Lawrence, said she’s interviewed DNR naturalists, volunteers and even the state DNR director. And, of course, she visits parks.
“Sometimes, I’ll go to the park and get to interview the staff there,” she said. “I really love doing that, because they can take you to significant places of the park and kind of tell you the stories behind some of those things that you might not get if you’re just visiting on a normal day and walking around on your own. And then other times I’ll go to the park — especially if it’s one I’ve never been to before — and I’ll just kind of spend the day exploring and hiking and then I’ll interview the staff later online and just kind of get a chance to talk about what did I see and some of the questions I might have had that came up while I was there.”
Martin said that through her podcast, she’s visited parks that she previously wasn’t familiar with. Experiencing those new parks and talking to staff about why the parks are special to them has helped her better appreciate Indiana’s state parks. A park she got to know through her podcast is Versailles State Park in southern Indiana.
“I’m going to go back, actually, this week and I’m really excited to see all of the trees changing there, because I think it’s just going to be absolutely stunning,” she said. “And they’ve got a red covered bridge right
at their park entrance, so I just think it’s going to be really pretty to see in the fall. And then I got to go to ones like Ouabache State Park (in northeast Indiana) and see the bison that were there. That was really a great experience, because I didn’t know anything about bison and I learned so much about them. I feel like always the one I’ve just been to is my current favorite.”
Closer to home, Fort Harrison State Park in Lawrence held some surprises, even though Martin had visited that park previously.
“Growing up, we spent a lot of time driving through the park and going to events all around it,” she said. “And so, I thought, ‘Oh, I know so much about this place.’ But then going and talking with their staff there, I actually learned a lot. Like, it used to be — before it turned into Fort Ben — it was actually a prisoner of war camp during World War II, so that was kind of crazy to learn about.”
Martin said living in central Indiana means many of the state’s parks are reasonably close.
“I’ve been to, I think, 14 or 15 of the state parks and they’re all about an hour or two away,” she said. “Even Mounds (State Park in Anderson) — it’s just outside of our
county and they also have a really cool history with the native people who used to live here. It’s also just a really pretty park that you could easily go and hike in a day that has a lot of accessibility as well, which I think is something that’s a great feature for a lot of our parks.”
Martin’s family has a connection to McCormick’s Creek State Park in Owen County. She said her grandparents went on a date at that park in 1952 and took a photo at one of the waterfalls there.
“The staff there were able to help me find that exact spot,” she said. “I got to go and take a picture in the same place where my grandparents did on this date in 1952, so that was so special — and my grandma’s still alive, so I got to give her this picture. I photoshopped myself into it so it looks like I’m sitting with them.”
Martin is an eighth-grade English teacher at Clay Middle School in Carmel and said she previously taught units on podcasting as storytelling.
“It’s been fun to now get to be the person who is on the other side of that — telling the story through a podcast,” she said. To listen to Martin’s podcast, search for IN the Parks on podcasting platforms. She also has social media pages for her podcasts on Facebook and Instagram.

Fishers woman faces federal fraud, forgery charges
CRIME news@currentinfishers.com
A 51-year-old Fishers woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of wire fraud and forging the signature of a federal judge.
According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, Christi Lee Dodd allegedly created and forged a judicial order in 2023 absolving her of debts as the result of a bankruptcy petition and emailed the document to a financial institution as proof that she was eligible for a line of credit.
Court documents state that in 2019, Dodd filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but later asked to have the case dismissed. A judge agreed to dismiss the case in 2022, and the court did not issue a discharge order, which means none of Dodd’s unpaid debts were resolved.
The 2023 emailed document allegedly was created using a discharge order from an earlier bankruptcy petition and included the forged signature of the judge who issued that 2015 discharge order.
“Protecting the integrity and efficiency of the bankruptcy system is an important priority of the Department of Justice,” stated Zachary A. Myers, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “Our office is committed to working closely with our partners at the U.S. Trustee Program to uphold the law and protect the interests of debtors and creditors.”
“The filing of a fraudulent court order containing the forged signature of a bankruptcy judge strikes at the very core of the integrity of the bankruptcy system and will not be tolerated,” stated Nancy J. Gargula, United States trustee for Indiana and the Central and Southern Districts of Illinois.
“We are grateful for U.S. Attorney Myers and our law enforcement partners for their commitment to protect the integrity of the bankruptcy process in the Southern District of Indiana, as demonstrated by this indictment.”
The indictment is not a conviction, which means the case is ongoing. FBI and U.S. Trustee’s Office continue to investigate.

Fishers firefighters continue cancer screening program
news@currentinfishers.com
A program that screens Fishers firefighters for various forms of cancer is in its second year of offering the free early detection service.
HEALTH
According to a news release from Fishers Fire and Emergency Services, the city, Community Health Network and GRAIL — which manufactures the Galleri screening test — have partnered again to address the heightened cancer risk faced by firefighters.
In late September, firefighters who chose to participate had access to the Galleri multicancer early detection test during a blood draw event. The test screens for more than 50 types of cancer, including some of the deadliest cancers that lack recommended screening methods. Of the department’s 148 members, 122 participated in the health initiative.
Firefighters are at an elevated risk of cancer because of their exposure to carcinogens in the line of duty, the news release stated. The National Institute for Occu-
pational Safety and Health reports that firefighters are twice as likely to develop certain cancers compared to the general population, largely because of their exposure to smoke, soot and harmful chemicals during emergencies.
“Firefighters risk their lives daily to protect our community and it’s essential we safeguard their health,” FFD Chief Steven Orusa stated. “Providing access to cutting-edge cancer screening technology like the Galleri test is key to our efforts in protecting our firefighters so they can continue serving our community.”
Early detection is critical for successful treatment and improved survival rates, according to the news release.
“This event is crucial because firefighters face a significantly higher risk of cancer due to occupational exposures,” stated Dr. Patrick McGill, chief transformation officer for Community Health Network. “It also demonstrates the impact partnerships can have on promoting healthier outcomes.”
More information about the Galleri test is available at galleri.com.

Fishers resident featured in Brain Bolt 5K
By Les Morris news@currentinfishers.com
Fishers resident Seth Miller was the featured patient at the Oct. 5 Brain Bolt 5K, hosted by Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine, a private practice group of neurosurgeons. The ninth annual event, held in Carmel, drew 600 participants and raised nearly $105,000 for the Neurosurgery Foundation at Goodman Campbell, benefiting research and care of traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.

ic program at the University of Cincinnati. He’s already committed to the wheelchair track program and the coach is actively recruiting him for the tennis team, too.
Heather Miller is a physical therapist assistant, so when her son was injured, she knew the cadence of his treatment and how his injuries would affect him. That familiarity has been both a great help and a challenge.
Miller, 18, suffered a thoracic spinal fracture in October 2022 when he fell 40 feet while rock climbing in southern Indiana. He was airlifted to Indianapolis, where Dr. Shannon McCanna of Goodman Campbell performed surgery the next day to stabilize his spine.
Because of the severity of his injury, Miller is paralyzed, yet his spirit and determination — with help from family, friends and medical professionals — remain strong. His determination is evident when he talks about the emotional challenges of his recovery.
“That was a bit tough,” he said. “I can see how it can be tough for a lot of other people. I just took it one step at a time and thought it needs to get done. It wasn’t something we could put off. I just got it done.”
He’s also grateful for the work of the physicians and staff at Goodman Campbell.
“They’ve been wonderful,” he said. “They’ve been super helpful for not only the surgical procedure but also the follow-ups and helping me get back into normal life. Constantly getting reassurance and checking on me is wonderful.”
Miller is a freshman at the University of
Cincinnati, studying pre-engineering. His life before the accident was active — he had a core group of close friends, was a hockey player on the combined Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern high schools’ team and a member of the youth group at his church, Fishers United Methodist Church.
“Seth has always been a very hardworking individual, prior to his accident and after his accident,” his mother Heather Miller said. “His focus just had to shift a little bit.”
Seth Miller’s life remains active. Not only is he in a demanding academic program, he’s involved in starting an adaptive athlet-
“It made it a little easier at times, as Seth would have a challenging day every now and then and my background would be, ‘Let’s try it this way and see if this works any better for you,’” she said.
“Sometimes, though, when Seth doesn’t want to get out of bed and I make him, I think he gets a little frustrated because I can just get him out of bed. If he wants to lounge too long, I say, ‘Nope. It’s time. Let’s get up.’”
At the end of the Brain Bolt 5K, Seth Miller said finishing a race of any distance is an accomplishment for people who have suffered traumatic brain and spine injuries.
“Today, we celebrate one achievement, but as we recover and live our new lives, this is only the beginning,” he said.

Sun King lager honors Keady
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Former Purdue University men’s basketball coach Gene Keady employed a number of favorite sayings, but chief among them was “Play hard.”
BEVERAGE
In fact, his coaching mantra has often been emblazoned on the back of Purdue basketball warmup shorts.
So, when Sun King Brewery decided to craft a beer in Keady’s honor, Play Hard Lager seemed to be the perfect name.
L L I N L O V E W I T H Y O U R
DREAM HOME
The official debut was at a private party, which Keady attended Oct. 11 at Harry’s Chocolate Shop, a longtime Purdue University bar.
Dave Colt, Sun King Brewery co-founder and brewmaster, said State Sen. Ron Alting (R-Lafayette) suggested the beer’s name.
“He’s one of Coach Keady’s longtime friends and he asked us if we would like to make a beer for Coach and, of course, we said yes,” Colt said.
Keady retired after 25 years as Purdue’s coach in 2005, with his former player Matt Painter taking over as head coach. Keady,
88, was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023
“We wanted to create a beer that reflects the passion and hard work that Coach Keady brought to the court,” Colt said. Colt also said Play Hard Lager will be available at least through the NCAA Tournament.
Four-packs of Play Hard Lager are available at Sun King tap rooms, including Carmel, Fishers and Indianapolis, and starting Oct. 18 will be available at retailers and liquor stores in Indiana.

Comment period open for new state graduation proposal
news@youarecurrent.com
The comment period is open through Nov. 8 on the second draft of the Indiana Department of Education’s proposal to redesign diplomas for Hoosier high school students starting with the Class of 2029.
EDUCATION
The revised proposal reflects public feedback of the first draft, according to a news release from IDOE.
The release of the second draft Oct. 11 was accompanied by a statutorily-required public comment period. Parents, educators, community members and other stakeholders can provide written feedback online. The comment period will close Nov. 8. Feedback will be reviewed prior to publication of the final draft.
An initial draft of the new diploma rule was first presented in March. That draft received more than 8,000 online comments and hours of testimony from residents across the state. The IDOE stated that feedback centered on the need to balance flexibility and student choice while ensuring a well rounded education; ensuring diploma requirements are rigorous and attainable and prepare every student for success regardless of their post-high school plans; elevating the importance of experiential learning opportunities; and providing sufficient resources needed for school corporations to implement this work statewide.
While the first draft proposal included two diploma options, the revised proposal includes one base diploma with minimum requirements for every student, as well as the opportunity for students to earn readi-
ness seals aligned with their unique path.
The proposed base diploma includes increased flexibility and course options for earning credits in core content areas, such as English, math, science, social studies, physical education and health, according to the IDOE. In addition to core content areas, students will take personalized electives which can include a variety of courses, such as career and technical education, performing or fine arts and/or world languages.
Students will have the option to earn readiness seals in enrollment, employment and/or enlistment. The readiness seals were developed to provide students and parents with a better understanding of a blueprint for success in whatever path a student may choose.
Seals will be available at two levels of readiness — honors and honors plus.
Indiana’s current graduation requirements will sunset Oct. 1, 2028, making final requirements effective for all students beginning with the class of 2029. As proposed, schools may opt-in beginning with the 2025-26 school year.
The IDOE and the State Board of Education will hold a public hearing at 10 a.m. Nov. 8 at the Indiana Government Center South Conference Room B, 402 W Washington St., Indianapolis. The purpose of the hearing is to provide any member of the public an opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas on the diploma rule. All public comments, including those submitted via the Jotform above, those shared at the public hearing.

ZCHS athlete excels in juggling three sports, academics
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Zionsville Community High School senior Caroline Sampson likes her role as an athlete for all seasons.
“For me, it actually hasn’t been too horribly hard to juggle three sports because I have been playing multiple sports my entire life,” said Sampson, who plays soccer, basketball and lacrosse for the Eagles. “I thrive when I constantly have something to do. I think that playing three sports has helped me prevent injury because I am constantly cross training and training different muscles in each. I would say the hardest part is the first couple of weeks of each season where I kind of have to shake the rust off from not playing that sport in a couple of weeks and get in the right mindset for the sport I am about to be playing.” Sampson, the seventh of 10 siblings, has had strong athletic role models. Five of her six older siblings played three sports at ZCHS. However, they didn’t play any of the sports Sampson plays. Courtney, Cally and Cassidy competed in swimming, cross country and track. Alex participated in swim-

ming, track and football. Jack competed in cross country, track and diving.
The 6-foot Sampson played forward for the soccer team, which finished its season in the sectional. She is a power forward on the basketball team and a defender in lacrosse.
“An additional challenge for this year of athletics, however, is that I have three new
head coaches for each sport,” Sampson said. “So far, the transition with these new coaches has been very smooth and exciting, and I think they each continue to help me and my teams represent our school well.”
Eagles girls soccer coach Rob Klatte enjoyed working with Sampson.
“Caroline is a very strong and competitive athlete. She works hard, is mobile off the ball and is a good target player who can hold play up in moments of transition,”
Klatte said. “But even more so, she has proven to be a wonderful teammate and leader for our soccer program. She is attentive and does the small things consistently well, trains with a smile on her face, pushes and encourages others while still striving to be her best. Driven on the field and in the classroom, Caroline epitomizes the term student-athlete.”
Sampson said she has received some interest from colleges to play either lacrosse or basketball at the next level.
“So, I am keeping my options pretty open towards my future,” she said. “I have been pretty consistent in narrowing down my choices in that I want to stay closer to home, just because my family is so important to me.”
Sampson has a 5.0 GPA on a weighted 4.0 scale. She plans to major in pre-med in college.
Sampson started playing soccer first when she was young, then basketball and began lacrosse as a freshman in high school.

County discusses how to better serve veterans
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Hamilton County has a population of more than 14,000 veterans.
MENTAL HEALTH
During work session with Hamilton County Commissioners. Monica Greer, executive director of the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol & Other Drugs, introduced a phone app that keeps mental health services confidential for veterans.
Director of Administration for Hamilton County Lee Buckingham said the commissioners approved moving forward with the project, and Greer is finalizing contracts and budgeting.
For two years, Greer has worked with Preventia, an organization of life-
style-based coaches who help support a healthier life. At the meeting, Brian Schroeder, CEO and founder of Preventia, stated coaches at Preventia say veterans are the county’s most at-risk population for mental health and behavioral issues.
Schroeder’s vision, according to work session minutes, is to partner with businesses in Hamilton County, such as Riverview Health, Aspire, Good Samaritan, churches and other organizations that can help strategize a plan for veterans.
“Preventia can help connect veterans to mental health and mental well-being coaches to help them manage their habits and behaviors more effectively, execute a plan they may have already received from a therapist and then help them with other diagnoses, nutrition, sleep, the contributing factors to depression and anxiety or

Quilters create handcrafted holiday comfort for hospital patients
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
A large first-floor space at Community North Health pavilion on 146th Street isn’t used for medical care. Instead, it’s dedicated to a different type of healing — the kind that comes from knowing people care.
The room is lined with sewing machines, each making soft whirring noises as members of the Mudsock Quilters Guild work on quilts dedicated to donation programs. Many of those handcrafted works of art will be given to hospital patients over the upcoming Christmas holiday — an annual project that coincides with the guild’s quilt show, set this year for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 9 at Cornerstone Lutheran Church in Fishers.
Each year, Mudsock quilters make more than 300 quilts for Community North and Heart Vascular Hospitals patients to receive on Christmas Day. Throughout the year, guild members also make heartshaped pillows for breast cancer patients recovering from mastectomies, “valor quilts” for veterans and festive “mug rugs” — tiny quilts that can go under a coffee mug — for nurses.
Guild member Louise Cobb said the group has about 250 members. Some of those members are more prolific than others and contribute multiple quilts for the guild’s program each year.
Mary Ann Yedinak is one of those guild members and was putting the finishing touches on her newest creation — a child’s quilt featuring colorful pigs. Yedinak said she has personally experienced a hospital stay on Christmas Day and knows how meaningful it can be to have a visitor.
“Having anybody visit you besides family and say, ‘Hey, we’re thinking about you and we want to give you a gift for no reason,’ just because of kindness — and quilters are some of the most generous people you would ever meet,” she said. “We’ll share with each other, we share with the community. We make big things and small things, things that make a difference in someone’s life.”
Yedinak said a handcrafted quilt is a particularly meaningful gift.
“There’s a difference between going to a big-box store and buying a quilt and something that is homemade and fashioned. And many of us, you know, we might say a prayer as we’re doing this — that the person receiving it get better or experience a day of joy,” she said. “I think a lot of us feel like, if we give someone a quilt, especially if they’re unwell, we’re kind of wrapping them in our love.”
Cobb said the group has extended that love beyond the holidays. The guild doesn’t always give away all its Christmas quilts — it depends on how many hospital patients there are in a given year — and last year, they had about 65 left over. So, they decided to take them to the cancer center.
“Now at Community North, if a patient is going through (chemotherapy), either
the nurse can come down and get her a blanket, or (the patient) can do it herself,” Cobb said. “Then that’s hers to use while she’s going through chemo and to take home.”
Guild members have taken leftover quilts to other hospital departments, as well, and starting last year, members also make quilts for area veterans.
Sandy Metzger was working on a valor quilt for a veteran, featuring a mixture of red, white and blue fabric with green camouflage material. She moved to the area from Michigan nine years ago, she said, and quickly joined the Mudsock Quilters Guild.
“It’s a group that shared something that was my passion,” she said. “We have a lot of fun together, you know. We go places
together and it’s just fun. And you do meaningful work — we do a lot of charity.”

Saxophonist James keeps honing craft as success grows
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Saxophonist-composer Boney James has a definite reason for the name of his latest album.
“Slow Burn,” his 19th album, was released Oct. 18. Two of his most successful albums were his previous two — “Solid” in 2020 and “Detour” in 2022.
“Things have been trending upwards,” James said. “That’s one of the reasons I’m calling my new record ‘Slow Burn,’ because even though it’s my 19th record, I feel I’m just hitting my stride. I feel like I’m getting better every day. I’m still dedicated to being a better musician, a better saxophone player, a better songwriter and producer. I’m really in love with the new music I’m making and thankfully the fans are still there as well and growing.”
James will perform at 8 p.m. Nov. 2 at the Palladium at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. This will be James’ fourth Palladium visit, having previously performed there in 2016, 2018 and 2023.
“It’s one of our favorite places to play. It’s a beautiful building,” James said. “The last time we played the Palladium, it was completely sold out, even those seats behind the stage. It was one of the greatest shows we ever had. The band and I still talk about it. Hopefully, we can recreate that experience.”
James, 63, said he plans to perform four songs from “Slow Burn.”
“It’s always a challenging thing to drop things from the show that we’ve been playing and people are enjoying,” James said. “This is my 19th record now, so it’s getting more and more challenging to squeeze in new material. There are songs from my earlier records that people would be disappointed if we didn’t play. That stuff never gets old to me.”
James loves to see the audience’s reaction to all his music.
“That’s what made me want to become
a musician in the first place is that feeling of being on stage and the communal spirit you get with the band,” he said.
“It’s something I find I can’t experience anywhere else. I only discovered I enjoyed writing songs and making records.
The joy and passion I have for playing live has not diminished at all over the years.”
James, a four-time Grammy Award nominee, also plays Keyboards on the album.
“Sometimes, I’ll replace myself on the record who is a better keyboardist than I am, which is just about everybody,” he said.
James started out playing the clarinet but switched to saxophone when his teacher recommended he give it a try.
“I didn’t want to change. (The saxophone had) a much heavier case that I was going to have to carry to school,” James said. “As soon as I picked it up, I just loved it. When I was a kid in the ‘70s, there was an awful lot of sax on pop radio. There were a lot of sax solos you could hear, and bands with horn sections. That was something that I could all of a
sudden participate in and I just got excited by it. For me, it’s still my favorite thing to do is to play that saxophone.”
James said he loved rhythm and blues music, so he would hear sax on a Marvin Gaye song. He said Earth, Wind & Fire was a horn-driven band, along with Tower of Power.
“I heard Grover Washington Jr. in about 1975 when I had been playing for three or four years,” James said. “He was the first solo artist who was playing saxophone as the lead instrument with the funky R&B groove behind him. That is still sort of the tradition I am carrying on today.”
James said he still practices the saxophone every day.
“I feel like I’m making progress and more connected to the horn,” he said. “I’m more expressive and have ideas of things to do. The songs on this record are really special. I’m crazy in love with the record. I try not to let anyone hear anything until I realize it’s possibly the best it can be. It’s ready to be born.”

‘Looney’ version of ‘Barber’ set
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Gabriel Preisser will make his first appearance with the Indianapolis Opera, but he is no stranger to “The Barber of Seville.”
INDY OPERA
Preisser, a baritone based in Orlando, Fla., said he has appeared in the classic opera five or six times, each time in the lead role of Figaro.
The Indianapolis Opera’s production of “The Barber of Seville” runs Nov. 15-17 at The Tarkington at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
“It’s one of the greatest roles in the repertoire and has one of the most iconic arias, thanks to Bugs Bunny,” Preisser said.
Figaro gets to break the fourth wall and kind of be the instigator and the puppet master in many ways and gets to have fun on the stage.”
Preisser said the first time he played Firgaro was in 2010.
The Looney Tunes cartoon features the music from the classic opera in an episode called “Rabbit of Seville.”
“It’s fun music, the slapstick element of the comedy, the beautiful (Gioachino) Rossini music,” Preisser said. “It’s a pleasure to get to do it. It’s one of my favorite roles.
“You try to keep him youthful. They’re all young characters,” Preisser said.
Director Jessica Burton said she embraces the Looney Tunes spirit of the production.
“People will get that reminiscence of childhood of the first time seeing opera on the tiny little TV screen,” she said.
Preisser said he has seen productions that feed off that wackiness.
“I saw one production where they replicated the Bugs Bunny set from that script,” he said. “All the productions I’ve been in are more on the traditional side. But there is nothing wrong with either one. Anything we can do to make opera more accessible or relevant, I’m all for it.”

‘La Cocina’ wins grand prize
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
The Heartland International Film Festival grand prize winners had different routes to the major cash prizes.
HEARTLAND
“La Cocina,” directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios, re ceived the $20,000 Narrative Feature Grand Prize, and “Porcelain War,” directed by Brendan Bellomo and Slava Leontyev, earned the $20,000 Documentary Feature Grand Prize at the 11-day festival, which concluded Oct. 20.
it has been selected to play at.”
Sorvig said it was surprising an independent documentary, “Champions of the Golden Valley,” won the Overall Audience Choice Award, beating out every other film in voting, including major Oscar contenders and dramas.
“There’s a wide range of movies, styles and topics every year and the burden is really with our juries when it comes to the Grand Prizes,” said Heartland Film Artistic Director Greg Sorvig, a Carmel resident. “‘La Cocina’ premiered in Berlin and we were the first major festival award that it has won, whereas our documentary winner ‘Porcelain War,’ about artists in Ukraine, has taken the festival circuit by storm since premiering at Sundance and continues to win awards at nearly every festival
“Of the big Oscar contenders, ‘September 5’ won the Narrative Special Presentation Audience Choice Award, which is the first festival award for the film that premiered at Venice and then played Telluride,” Sorvig said. “Richard D. Propes Social Impact Documentary Winner ‘Zurawski v Texas,’ featuring Hoosier natives Amanda and Joshua Zurawski, who attended their first screening, also won our Documentary Audience Choice Award.”
Actor Craig T. Nelson attended the Awards Presentation to accept the Pioneering Spirit Award: Lifetime Achievement Award. Nelson stars in “Green and Gold,” which had its World Premiere at Heartland and won the Jimmy Stewart Legacy Award.
Sorvig said the world premiere of Noblesville filmmaker Rocky Walls’ “Dirty Laundry” was sold out and electric.

Puzzling election predictions
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
Who will win the election Nov. 5? I don’t know. Nor do you. Jeremiah Farrell, a former professor of mathematics at Butler University and creator of what is considered by many to be the greatest crossword puzzle ever, didn’t know back in 1996 either, so he hedged his bet.
HUMOR
Jerry passed away in 2022, but he left behind what Hoosier Will Shortz called his favorite crossword puzzle of all time. This is quite a compliment from a man who edited and created thousands of these brain teasers.
The puzzle appeared in the New York Times on Election Day in November 1996, the day of the Bob Dole and Bill Clinton presidential matchup.
Professor Farrell, puzzle solver and creator, had done several Sunday puzzles for The New York Times. All Times’ puzzles are carefully edited.
That’s why Jerry’s entry caused quite a stir. One of the clues (39 across) read: Lead story in tomorrow’s newspaper. It was a prediction of who would win. The uproar came from both sides. It seemed like intentional bias.
BOBDOLE or CLINTON. Note that both answers had seven letters. But how could they both work? That’s where Jerry’s genius was evident. All the down clues were designed so that two different solutions would work. Shortz called it an “amazing feat, possibly the most creative crossword ever.”
Here are the clues and the alternatives:
39 Down: Black Halloween animal (Could be Cat or Bat)
40 Down: French word (Lui or Oui)
41 Down: Provider of support (IRA or Bra, and that’s my favorite)
23 Down: Sewing shop purchase (Yarn or Yard)
27 Down: Short writings (Bits or Bios)
“BOBDOLE
or CLINTON. Note
that both answers had seven letters. But how could they both work? That’s where Jerry’s genius was evident.”
– DICK WOLFSIE
35 Down: Trumpet (Boast or Blast)
42 Down: Much debated political initials (NRA or ERA)
Professor Farrell found seven such clues, but most people who did the puzzle did not realize there were alternative answers that could spell BOBDOLE_ELECTED or CLINTON_ELECTED. As noted, many complained that this was an inappropriate clue, showing favoritism by the puzzle creator and The Times.
I manufactured something similar with DTRUMP and HARRIS. Here’s what I came up with.
Show of disapproval: Hiss or Diss Body part: Arm or Toe
Informer: Rat (I only need one solution here)
A sports judge (Abbreviation): Ref or Ump
Type of group: Ilk or Mob
A close relative (Slang): Sis or Pop
How’d I do? Notice how the alternative spelling can give us both candidates: HARRIS or DTRUMP. Of course, I would also have to create the entire puzzle, but I’m 77, so I’m not sure I have the time.
So, who will win the election? I don’t have a clue.
I have six.

Blueprint for Improvement: Bright and beautiful Zionsville kitchen
Commentary by Larry Greene
Built in 1998, this kitchen in Zionsville’s Austin Oakes neighborhood needed a refresh. Through modern aesthetics and efficient functionality, the outcome is an inviting and practical space that radiates brightness and beauty, significantly elevating the homeowners’ everyday living experience.
THE BLUEPRINT
• White perimeter cabinetry offers timeless style, complemented by warm wood tones on the island and bar for a touch of organic warmth.
• The reimagined appliance layout enables the inclusion of a statement double range with custom hood, establishing a functional focal point.
• Smart storage solutions, including a knife block drawer, tiered utility drawers, utensil pull-outs and roll-out shelves keep essentials close at hand while maintaining a clutter-free appearance.
• The integrated quartz counter and backsplash provide the sophisticated appeal of natural stone without the upkeep.
