‘I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT’ Keefer retires after 46 years as Lawrence North varsity basketball coach By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com According to Jack Keefer, he’s never worked a day in his life despite being Lawrence North High School’s boys SPORTS basketball head coach since 1976. The 78-year-old coach announced his retirement April 14. Students, staff, administrators and City of Lawrence officials, including Mayor Steve Collier, gathered at the school April 15 to honor Keefer for a distinguished coaching career that includes four IHSAA state championships. “I’ve got a lot of players behind me who made me a good coach,” Keefer said during the presentation. “They work so hard. They work harder than any of us have probably worked at anything. It’s amazing what kids can do when they put their minds to it. I’ve done it here for 46 years and I haven’t gone to work one day. “I just come and this is a gym, this is our house. I loved every minute of it.” Keefer has been at Lawrence North since 1976 and is the last of the school’s original employees. Athletic Director Mike Penrose said Keefer was one of the “founding fathers” of Indiana high school basketball. “This is a historical moment for Indiana high school basketball,” Penrose said. “There have been many a coach that have come through Indiana high school basketball, and Coach Keefer stands at the top.” During his tenure, Keefer led the team to four state championships, one state runner-up, five semistate titles, seven regional championships and 19 sectional crowns. He coached three players who would later become top 10 NBA draft picks, including 2006 Indiana Mr. Basketball winner Greg Oden, who was the No. 1 overall pick of 2007 draft by the Portland Trail Blazers. In 2007, Keefer, who tallied 804 career wins at Lawrence North, was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. “We really enjoy the fans that are here,” Keefer said. “I think we get better support for the kids than any of the schools around the county because our kids are good kids,

and when you’ve got good players who behave themselves, then it’s easy to support them. We have done that very well here. You can tell it’s been very emotional for me. I feel like I’m the luckiest man in the world.” Keefer graduated from Oak Hill High School in 1961 and earned his bachelor’s degree in education and accounting from Ball State University, where he played on the freshman basketball team and was a fouryear track and field athlete. He received his master’s in education administration from Indiana University. Keefer said during his early years at Lawrence North, the school went through a period when students moved to Lawrence to play basketball at the school. He said making the game enjoyable played a huge role in his coaching success. “Fun is the greatest part of it,” Keefer said. “When we started out the year this year, we just weren’t having fun. It was too boring and we didn’t like to work that hard, so I made some changes.”

Keefer said he promoted two junior varsity players to the varsity team, which reenergized practices. “When we got those guys up here, they brought the fun to practice and a harder work ethic, and it makes the game more exciting,” said Keefer, whose final team finished 17-7. Keefer has coached Indiana Boys All-Star team and coached victorious East team in the 2005 McDonald’s All-American Game. Keefer has served as coach of the McDonald’s Derby Classic, the Indiana East/ West All-Star Game, the Indiana North/South All-Star Game and the Jermaine O’Neal AllStar Classic. He has been recognized as the Marion County Coach of the Year, District Coach of the Year and Conference Coach of the Year multiple times. In retirement, Keefer and his wife, Jan, plan to travel and spend more time at their Brown County property. The Keefers have two adult sons, Joel and Jake.

Fishers council approves residential development By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com At its April 18 meeting, Fishers City Council approved a rezone request for Abbott Commons, a residential GOVERNMENT development at Prairie Baptist Road and 136th Street. The vote was 6-2. Fishers City Council member Brad DeReamer shared a concern that he’s shared several times before. He said developers are running the City of Fishers. DeReamer DeReamer was one of two councilors who voted against the rezone request. The development would have three areas – houses with rear-load garages, houses with front-load garages and for-sale townhomes. The developer, Lennar Homes, proposed open space, pedestrian connectivity and other amenities. However, the development also included decreased lot sizes, decreased side setbacks and other issues that concerned some councilors. “Everything has come through a planned unit development, and we let the developer

do what they want,” DeReamer said. “We don’t need a planning department. Just file the PUD and go pull all the building permits. That’s what has happened for the last six years. (Residents) are very upset because developers are running the City of Fishers. It’s popping up all over, and I’m getting tired of it. We don’t need any PUDs. Pick zoning.” DeReamer did say he likes the fact there were three types of home options in the project.

Together We Can Keep It That Way

Council member David Giffel also voted against the development. Besides the rezone request for Abbott Commons, there were several items on the council’s agenda, including: • Fishers Police Dept. Chief Ed Gebhart recognized civilian employee Tammy King for 20 years of service. King is the FPD’s administrative assistant. • Fishers Health Dept. announcing it has downsized operations from the former

The council unanimously approved a resolution reestablishing the cumulative capital development fund for 2023. The fund, which isn’t new, is primarily used to pay the city’s fleet loan, which includes police, fire and public works vehicles. The Mayor’s Youth Academy gave a presentation. The council approved an ordinance that authorized the city to become a member of the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority. The ordinance permits the city to join a group of other cities and towns to form a region to jointly pursue grants. The council unanimously approved a change-of-tenant at 13095 Publishers Dr. for a 43,000-square-foot structure. The location previously was home to a publishing company and is now home to Mission Christian Academy, a private school with approximately 225 students.

Wechsler to step down from Launch Fishers, Indiana IoT Lab By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Launch Fishers and Indiana IoT Lab founder/CEO John Wechsler said planning his departure ENTREPRENEURSHIP as CEO has been a decade in the making. He recently announced he would step down from his position at both companies effective July 1. “It is kind of a natural progression of next steps,” Wechsler said Wechsler, a Fishers resident. “After 10 years of doing this, I think it is definitely a good time for fresh eyes and fresh leadership.” Launch Fishers Vice President of Finance David Bolling will become its executive

director. IoT Lab’s Jason Pennington, who already is the lab’s executive director, will also become its vice president. Rachel Drake will continue in her role in marketing and communications. “That’s what the team looks like in terms of who’s going to be running the shop in my absence,” Wechsler said. “I will be still involved with things as a board member, and I’ll be helping manage the overall operation. But, as a board member, I’m not so involved in the day-to-day part of the DNA of the company. This is all really good. It’s a natural step for me to go out and explore other entrepreneurial options.” Wechsler said he wasn’t ready to announce what his options are. “I already had multiple oars in the water, and things are really beginning to get traction,” he said. “It’s been an amazing 10 years.”

Local cancer survivor encourages women to get mammograms By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The way Janaé Swan tells her story, 15 minutes out of her day saved her life. That’s how long Swan’s mammogram PREVENTION took in January 2021. The procedure detected a lump in her left breast. Swan had no family history of cancer and conducted self-exams regularly. “(The mammogram) saw a spot and they rushed me to an ultrasound and then I had a biopsy, and we found out I did indeed have breast cancer,” said Swan, a 57-year-old Fishers resident. “I would give myself self-exams and never found a lump, so it was kind of a whirlwind.” Swan said even after she knew the location of the lump, she still couldn’t find it during a self-examination. Swan and her husband, Scott, a news anchor for WTHR, were diagnosed with cancer at the same time. Swan said they were watching President Joe Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration on television when the news arrived. “They called and said, ‘Yes, I did have invasive ductal carcinoma Stage 1,’” she said. “Ironically, at the same time my husband’s doctor was calling him to tell him he had skin cancer. So, we both got off the phone and he said, ‘Oh, I have skin cancer,’ and I said, ‘Oh, well, great, I have breast cancer.’” The couple told their adult children soon after.

and procedures. such as echocardiograms, and bone density tests, among others, immediately follow. She had a lumpectomy and breast reconstruction surgery on Feb. 22, 2021. The cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, which elevated her diagnosis to Stage 2. After her surgery, she had six weeks of radiation treatment. Now, Swan, who leans on her Christian faith for strength, wants to help other women going through a similar experience. She does so in a variety of ways, including through social media. Women contact Swan on her Facebook page, and she makes a note on when their mammogram appointment is. The night before the appointment, Swan prays for the

woman. Many times, the women contact Swan after their appointment and tell her the scan was clear. Women from as far away as California have reached out to Swan prior to their mammogram appointments. Swan said she decided to be upbeat during her battle with cancer. “On my first day at the cancer center, I started to cry because I saw those big (cancer) words (on the building) and I felt like I was healthy and I couldn’t believe this was how the year was going,” she said. “I went in there and looked around and I was 20 years younger than anyone sitting in the cancer center. I felt like I didn’t belong or like I should be visiting someone there.” On her way home after her first treatment, a Hillsong Worship song came on the radio. One of the lyrics was, “I’ll find joy in the battle.” “I went home and had a pity party that night and woke up and put my big girl pants on and told myself to get back to that cancer center and talk to people and share my faith and share my story,” Swan said. “I went back with a totally different attitude. Instead of sitting far away from people, I sat next to them and prayed with them and shared my story. “Sometimes in life, it gives you joy and sometimes you have to choose joy.” Swan said her three goals on her healing journey are to share her faith, beat cancer and promote mammograms. “I feel like I’ve continued to do that,” she said. Swan and her husband are both in remission.

Fishers High School shortstop provides spark on bases By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers High School coach Matthew Cherry views senior shortstop Joey Brenczewski as the “table setter” for the baseball team. “When he is on base, he is a game changer on the base paths putting pressure on the opposing team,” Tigers coach Matthew Cherry said. “Joey set the single-season stolen base record last year with 20 and already has eight stolen bases in 10 games this year. Defensively, Joey possesses a strong arm and shows exceptional range with the ability to make game-changing plays up the middle and deep in the hole at short. Joey has always been talented and works at his overall skill set. He has improved in all areas as he has physically grown and matured, but the biggest improvement has come in his leadership and ability to communicate with his teammates. “Joey does a great job at teaching the younger guys and communicating/talking through where plays will happen in between pitches.”

Fishers reached last year’s Class 4A state championship game before losing to Jasper 3-1. The Tigers finished 23-13. “I’m most excited for proving to everyone that last year wasn’t a fluke and making memories with the team and enjoying my last year of high school baseball with my friends,” Brenczewski said. “Once you get a taste of it, it makes you want to get there even more. It put a chip on all of our shoul-

ders and gave us the confidence that we can get there.” Through the first 10 games this season, the Indiana University-bound Brenczewski was hitting .355. In 2021, Brenczewski, a switch hitter, batted .302 with five doubles and 16 runs batted in. He lettered on the

varsity as a freshman. The 2020 season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “My personal goals are to be better than I was last year, not only from a statistical standpoint, but as a leader,” he said. “I don’t want to put specific numbers on batting average because some of it is out of my control. I worked really hard in the offseason and feel like I’ve improved in all aspects of the game. “I would say my biggest improvement from last year is my fielding consistency and my strength.” Brenczewski’s two older brothers both played baseball at FHS and in college. Caleb, a 2017 FHS graduate, played two years at Lipscomb University and two years at Indiana Wesleyan University. Kiel, a 2019 FHS graduate, is playing at the U.S. Naval Academy. “I’ve learned a lot from watching them play at the next level,” Brenczewski said. Brenczewski originally committed to Texas Christian University. “After I decommitted from TCU, the IU coaching staff really took me in and made me feel like I had a home with IU baseball,” he said. “The program is elite (and) the facilities are elite, as are the academics.”

COVER STORY

Inaugural Fiesta Lawrence planned at Fort Ben Cultural Campus By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Lawrence has established a new event catering to its Latino population. Fiesta Lawrence will be presented from 1 to 5 p.m. April 30 at the Fort Ben Cultural Campus, 8920 Otis Ave. Damaris Iraheta, the city’s manager of communications for Latino affairs, said more than 15 percent of Lawrence’s population is Latino. “Lawrence does have a Iraheta very big Latino community, and it’s growing over time. So, of course we want to cater to our community and have a presentation for our community,” Iraheta said. “Why not celebrate all of the Latino cultures in Korn Lawrence and bring everyone together to share culture and also bring awareness to the Latino community we do have in Lawrence?” Originally, a Mexican-themed Cinco de Mayo celebration was planned. But Iraheta and Deputy Chief of Staff Cori Korn wanted to include all 21 Latino nations rather than only the ones that celebrate Cinco de Mayo. So, Fiesta Lawrence was created. The free event will feature entertainment, including a musical performance by Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township students, along with resources, vendors, crafts, activities and food trucks. “Really, the event is to celebrate and share with our Latino cultures in Lawrence,” Korn said. “It’s really just a day of fun activities celebrating Latino cultures and sharing information.” The Indiana Historical Society will be onsite with a display showcasing Latino heritage in the Indianapolis area. Attendees will have the opportunity to play Loteria, a Latin American card game similar to bingo, from. 3 to 3:30 p.m. Grupo Bembe will perform live music from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Iraheta started in her role in January. Her goal is to raise awareness of city services to the Latino community. She also is working on offering city permits and providing

applications in Spanish for Spanish speakers and creating events like Fiesta Lawrence to cater to the Latino community. She said she is the liaison between the Latino community and the City of Lawrence. Korn said Fiesta Lawrence has three goals. “One is to celebrate our community and build the community by bringing it together,” she said. “Another goal is to really help educate our community about all our diversity and share those cultures amongst the community. And then the third is to provide all the connections to the different organizations.” Iraheta said another of her goals is to evenually create a welcome center for the City of Lawrence. Ideally, she said it would be housed in the Government Center at 9001 E. 56th St.

“We have a very diverse community, and we want to be able to provide basic information and resources to our citizens,” Iraheta said. “So, with a welcome center, we would be able to guide those who come in in case they need assistance in any way possible. Even if we can’t provide the help in the city, we want to be able to provide resources or guides to where you can go to find those things you’re looking for. “We want to be as welcoming as possible and just (be) a safe space for resources like a food pantry or education or just about anything.” For more, visit visitlawrenceindiana.com.

CELEBRATING 21 LATINO CULTURES To celebrate all 21 Latino nation cultures at Fiesta Lawrence, Deputy Chief of Staff Cori Korn said there will be booths with activities such as identifying the Latino flags. Among other activities, she said attendees can make maracas, and free churros will be available. “In addition to the activities, we do want it to be educational,” Korn said. “So, children can get a bingo card and go from area to area to get facts about the cultures and then turn that in at the city’s tent. We will do a drawing for prizes and that kind of stuff to reinforce the learning of the different cultures.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Legacy of guilt?

My life in columns

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Launcelot Gobbo was eager to assign blame, “We carry with us the sins of our fathers.” While playwright William Shakespeare, in his circa 1597 play, “The Merchant of Venice,” was likely inversely paraphrasing the Bible, he effectively used the notion that we are somehow responsible for acts done by our progenitors to famously frame religion. Can one elude the perception of our families by others? Are we able to escape our self-perceptions predicated by our personal beliefs about them? Is it possible to become our own person or are we duly confined, guaranteed to live and relive the example imprinted upon us in childhood? Shakespeare inverted the admonishment of Scripture, which almost universally holds that we are each living our own lives abundant with free will to choose a path. The behavior of parents or children is only theirs and not reflective upon the other. One example, Deuteronomy 24:16, reports that “Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.” Still, the conviction of our associated conscience is claimed by nearly all of us. The Bard knew that in making a statement so directly in conflict would require that his audience engage and challenge the character’s posture. So, what of our current day? Do we live the guilt of those who came before or do we each hold our own selves to account for no actions but our own? Is it fair to do so? When is an adult offspring no longer the responsibility of the parent, and when does the parent become the obligation of the grown kid?

I’ve been doing a ton of self-reflecting lately, mostly to uncover why I’m so irritated all the time. Is it my age? Hormones? Why do I perpetually yearn for the sweet release that only a Netflix romance series can bring? (“The Duke of Hastings”? Dear lord, help me). Then it hit me, I’ve been writing this column for 15 years. Fifteen! It started as a means to cope with my days as a stay-at-home mom, to vent my fears and frustrations about parenting and marriage. Also, because some unbelievably funny shtick happens in a house filled with four kids, a ginger Democrat and the occasional exotic pet (RIP, Quickie the gecko!). Bottom line, gentle reader? You’re welcome! Because for a decade and a half, Current has allowed me to connect with like-minded people who are tired of hearing about the perfect lives everyone else seems to be leading. Through my weekly purging of bottled-up emotions (since big girls don’t cry in public, except for the Meijer dairy aisle) – grief, joy, the overwhelming desire to throatpunch anyone eating granola in my vicinity – fellow average suburbanites can know they are not alone. In that sense, this column is really free, collective therapy for all of us who aren’t perpetually “#blessed.” And personally, this column affords much-needed perspective and reminds me that I do, in fact, love my family and life, even if we aren’t the Bridgertons.

Pure Eating Way keeps growing By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Longtime friends Bryan Morrison and Carole Bishop wanted to start eating better. They started Pure Eating Way 2 FOOD 1/2 years ago. “We thought we were eating well with our chicken, fish and things,” Morrison said. “But we both had pain. She had chronic pain, and I had pain in my knee.” Morrison said the friends had been looking to start a business together. “We were working out and our trainer told us to check out a documentary called ‘What the Health,’” Morrison said. “We decided to do this style of living for 14 days and it turned into a lifetime. We decided to take it to the next level and start a business.” Since eating healthy, Bishop was able to eliminate her blood pressure medicine, chronic pain and migraine medications. She also was rid of inflammation in her joints. Bishop and Morrison each have lost 20 pounds. Morrison no longer has inflammation in his joints and stopped his cholesterol medication. As a Type 1 diabetic, he cut his insulin usage in half.

The Fishers residents reached out to several places and Carmel Farmers Market was the only one that had space for Pure Eating Way, Morrison said. Morrison said the plant-based eating company started selling a biscuit and jam at the market. The vendor has been nominated for best vegan food in the first Vegan Foodie Choice Awards in Dayton, Ohio, in May. Pure Eating Way also recently won best whole

food, plant-based vegan restaurant by IndyVegFest. Bishop said the Carmel Farmers Market has been supportive. “We’ve been able to branch out with the rest of our food, tacos, sandwiches and soups,” Bishop said. This will be the vendor’s third summer at Carmel Farmers Market. Morrison said the company wants to find its own restaurant site, likely either in Fishers or Carmel. The COVID-19 pandemic began shortly after the business started, so Morrison said they started out catering. “Our loyal customers are wanting to be able to come and enjoy our food,” Morrison said. Bishop said the business offers meal delivery. “Since November (2021), we have been doing a pop-up cafe from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Fishers at Rick’s Cooking School (11850 Allisonville Rd.) Thursdays and Fridays,” Bishop said. The pop-up cafe will be closed from April 30 until November. For more, visit pureeatingway.com.

DISPATCHES Stocks benefit from cancer test breakthroughs — Over the next decade, the diagnostics market is expected to soar to more than $50 billion annually as companies develop early-detection tests to screen asymptomatic patients for cancers. Three promising companies are: • Exact Sciences (EXAS) had nearly $900 million in total revenues last year, mostly from two products: Cologuard and Oncotype Dx. • Guardant Health (GH) makes liquid biopsy kits that test for mutations in the tumors of advanced cancer patients to enable proper therapy selection. • Natera (NTRA) tests monitor for relapses in breast and lung cancer and can identify recurrent tumors months before traditional methods such as CT scans. The company also is expanding its blood-test technology to predict whether organ-transplant recipients are likely to reject a new organ. Source: BottomLineInc `

Carmel doctors launch fund to help reduce medical bills By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As OB-GYNs, Drs. Jeffrey Meltzer and his wife, Leigh, saw firsthand how the rising cost of GIVING BACK medical care in the U.S. can be devastating to people battling an injury or illness. So, the Carmel residents decided to do something Jeffrey Meltzer about it. In 2020, they organized the Indiana Health Fund, a nonprofit that aims to prevent medical bills from financially draining Hoosiers. The organization primarily targets individuals or families whose income is 200 to 400 percent above the federal poverty line, as they are ineligible for many forms of assistance but may not have the resources to cover a large medical bill. “There’s really nobody doing this in this space,” Jeffrey Meltzer said. “We’re trying to help patients and families before the debt causes all kinds of damage to them. The goal isn’t to help somebody who’s had this

$10,000 debt that’s really destroyed their credit rating for five years. The goal is to help people as (medical bills) are happening. If you have this huge amount of debt and you’re not paying it off, it literally can ruin your whole life.” IHF awarded its first grants in January, totaling more than $16,000 in reduced medical bills for three families and one individual. Recipients included a father of two who had emergency Leigh Meltzer surgery to remove his gall bladder early in the COVID-19 pandemic. He was forced to make repeated trips to the emergency room because his doctor’s office was closed at the time. The pandemic also led to him being laid off from his job. Another recipient was a couple who racked up more than $15,000 in bills related to surgery and cancer treatments. IHF representatives were able to use their knowledge of the health care system to negotiate down the cost and help cover it. IHF wants to at least double the number of individuals it helps this year and “grow dramatically” in the future, according to

Jeffrey Meltzer. Community Health Network referred the first set of grant recipients, but IHF is looking to expand its reach in the future. Individuals can contact IHF directly to apply for assistance. Besides eliminating debt, IHF aims to inform patients about financial resources and programs available and help them better understand the billing process. “We’ve done some very quick, two-minute videos on how to interpret a medical bill, how to know if you need to call your insurance before you go to the emergency room,” Leigh Meltzer said. The organization recently grew with the appointment of Colleen Rusnak as interim executive director. Rusnak, a Carmel resident, has previously held positions at Neurosurgical Atlas and the Women’s Philanthropy Institute at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. She said she is thankful for the volunteer and donor support that help the nonprofit function. “We appreciate the community’s support as we tackle this important issue in assisting those with access to affordable healthcare,” Rusnak said.

Jeffrey Meltzer, who serves as president of IHF, became increasingly interested in the financial side of his industry approximately 15 years ago and returned to school to earn an MBA in health care management. What he learned convinced the Meltzers to give back to the community beyond delivering babies. “Even in our own practices, we saw the cost of health care was becoming oppressive to people, so we came up with this idea to create a nonprofit to help people better manage the cost of health care to their family,” Jeffrey Meltzer said. “That’s how it all started.” In addition to leading IHF, Jeffrey Meltzer is the medical director of reproductive health for Natera, which provides cell-free DNA testing, and he previously worked for IU Health. He has a BA in religious studies and an MD from Emory University. Leigh Meltzer, an OB-GYN who practices at IU Health North, graduated from North Central High School and has a bachelor’s and medical degree from Indiana University. She trained at the University of Maryland Medical Systems, which is where she met her husband. Learn more about IHF, including how to donate, at IndianaHealthFund.org.

‘Matilda’ gives performers a shot at portraying comedic villains By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Evan Wallace finds there is nothing quite as fun as portraying an over-the-top villainous character. MUSICAL The Indianapolis resident portrays Miss Agatha Trunchbull, the cruel and sadistic principal, in Civic Theatre’s production of “Matilda, The Musical,” April 29 to May 13 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “I’m having the time of my life being horrible to children,” Wallace said. “I work social work so I’m a mandated (abuse) reporter, so I’m making a lot of calls on myself lately. It’s a blast and a half.” Wallace said Trunchbull traditionally has been played by a man in the musical. “It’s a little tongue in cheek,” said Wallace, who will have to shave his beard before the performances. “Who doesn’t love a villain? I love big, broad characters. I was Edna in ‘Hairspray.’ I did the Cowardly Lion in ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ The bigger the character, the more interested I am. Agatha is about as big as they come.” Like Wallace, Zionsville resident Mikayla Koharchik loves portraying Mrs. Wormwood, who Koharchik describes as Matilda’s “mean, awful mother.” “It’s very fun to play the comedic villain and be someone you are not usually in real life,” Koharchik said. “She hates books and learning, and I’m an educator.” Koharchik said when she learned of the role, she thought it would be fun. “I do love working with kids,” Koharchik said. “I think it’s fun to be in a show with kids. I like to do shows that I think my own children would like to watch.” Lexie Vahrenkamp, a Carmel Middle School sixth-grader, plays Matilda Wormwood. “It’s just really fun to play the role, too,” Vahrenkamp said. “I listen to the music a lot because I loved the soundtrack of the musical. I’ve seen the movie, but I feel the musical is different from that.”

Vahrenkamp, 12, also has read the book by Roald Dahl. In the book, Matilda is supposed to be 5 years old, but is advanced for her age. “I’m much more experienced now than I was as a 10-year-old,” Vahrenkamp said. Vahrenkamp rarely leaves the stage. “It’s so much fun you don’t even notice that it’s hard,” she said. Carmel resident Julia Bonnett, Civic Theatre’s director of development and administration, plays Matilda’s teacher, Miss Honey. “She and the librarian, Mrs. Phelps, are Matilda’s refuge from the craziness that happens at home and the craziness that happens at school,” said Bonnett, a 2009 Carmel High School graduate. “Anytime she is with Miss Honey or Ms. Phelps, it is peaceful for her.” Bonnett is appearing in her first show at Civic since performing in “Little Women” in 2015.

Wallace, Bonnett, Vahrenkamp and Koharchik all were scheduled to perform in “Matilda” when it was shut down after three weeks of rehearsals in mid-March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bonnett said about half the cast returned. Several previous attempts to reschedule the show had failed. “It’s been wild from a staff member perspective to see it from the other side,” Bonnett said. “All the times we’ve tried to put the show up and all the times we’ve not been able to do so, so to be at this point is exciting because I think we are finally going to get to do it. The set is gorgeous. Everyone, especially those who were in it two years ago, is really excited to finally get to see it.” Koharchik said the cast was “pretty bummed out in 2020, but it’s great to have it back up.” For more, visit civictheatre.org.

‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ at FHS By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers High School theater teacher Anna Nickell immediately was intrigued by “Peter and the PLAY Starcatcher.” “It’s a fantastic script,” Nickell said. “As I was reading it initially, I was struck by the complexity and cleverness of the text and characters. Booher It’s also a great fit for our season theme, ‘Growth and Identity.’ It’s also currently a very popular choice for high school productions. I also chose this show to challenge myself as a director. There is a lot of movement in this show, and that is not my strong suit, so I wanted to push myself.” “Peter and the Starcatcher” is a play based on a novel that tells the backstory of characters from “Peter Pan.” The show is set for 7 p.m. April 30 and 2:30 p.m. May 1 at the FHS auditorium. “Though the show isn’t technically a musical, there is music in the script, which is

not typical for a play,” Nickell said. “Anytime there is music and choreography in anything, it is challenging to put together. The show also has a live accompanist.” Senior Kylee Booher plays the role of Grempkin and Teacher. “These two characters are almost complete opposites of each other in every way. Grempkin is mean and ugly inside and out, whereas Teacher is beautiful, intelligent and ethereal,” Booher said. “The two roles are played in different acts, and I have time to modify my mindset from one character to the next, so I do not have to transform quickly.” Senior Natalie Wiest plays the role of Molly Aster. “I love the confidence and drive this character has, letting nothing stop her from achieving her goals,” Wiest said. “She is smart, funny and believes girls can do anything boys can, which is a consistent theme in the story. One challenge with playing this role is tapping into Molly’s softer side. She is clearly a confident, loud character, but I hope to show all sides to her as the play progresses.” For tickets, visit theatrefishers.com.

Tran’s challenge is, he doesn’t typically perform in true musicals. “‘Million Dollar Quartet’ was a jukebox musical,” Tran said. “This is a musical with a capital ‘M’ and I don’t ever do those. As I get older, I think doing things scary are good for me. If it’s good for me personally, it’s probably good for me professionally.” Tran plays Man 1, which is a variety of roles, including an IT person, nursing home caretaker and delivery worker. “There’s not a lot of (Bob) Fosse in my resume,” Tran said of the famous choreographer. “I’m terrified of all of it. I was raised by blue-collar people. If you are bad at something, get good at it. The things I’m afraid of are the things I look back on and end up enjoying the most.” Tran, who lives in Broad Ripple, was a late addition to the show. He said ATI

co-founders Don Farrell and Cynthia Collins called him several months ago and asked if he would appear in the show. “I told them no because I was just starting a personal training business and it was taking all my time,” Tran said. “Don reached back to me and said they lost an actor and was there any chance I was more free than I was before.” Fortunately, Tran said he had a better handle on running his business. Lillie Eliza Thomas, who lives in Orlando, saw the ATI post about auditions for the Actors’ Equity Association and Playbill. “I did my research, and I loved the background of the show,” Thomas said. “I knew songs from the show. I thought I’d give it a shot.” Thomas performed in a cabaret that featured “Just a Housewife” as one of the songs. “What l love about this is show is, it appreciates people who have to work so hard at jobs that people don’t find as appealing,” Thomas said. “It shines a light on them. I’m glad they are getting the love they deserve.” Aviva Pressman, from Los Angeles, learned about the production through the Actors’ Equity website. Pressman plays a nanny, mill worker, receptionist, flight attendant and woman in a cubicle. As Man 2, Indianapolis resident Allen Sledge plays a mason, iron worker, fireman and a newsroom assistant. Sledge said the characters’ monologues are the most challenging aspect for him. For more, visit atistage.org.

Just Love Coffee Café

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 12525 Old Meridian St., Suite 100, Carmel What to get: Jive Turkey Wrap Price: $8.95 Anna’s take: My favorite part about the menu is that the selections are filling — not light items like pastries you normally see at cafés. My second favorite part is that everything is cooked with a waffle iron, so many of the dishes have a wafflelike pattern. Even the tortillas for wraps, such as the Jive Turkey Wrap, have waffle patterns, which keeps ingredients contained and makes things less messy than traditional tortillas. The Jive Turkey Wrap features turkey, bacon, provolone, spinach and a creamy pepper jelly spread. It

Clockwise, from top, sausage, egg and cheese biscuit, spinach feta omlette, mixed coffee drinks, grilled Italian Caprese sandwich, Jive Turkey Wrap and stuffed Nutella waffle. Items are sample sizes and do not reflect their actual size. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

is served with chips and a pickle and is very filling. I also recommend breakfast waffles, which have savory and sweet options. For a sweet treat, try the stuffed Nutella waffle ($6.95). The Carmel café is the first franchise in Indiana and the 25th nationwide. Lunch or breakfast options are available all day, and the prices are hard to beat. The café also donates to local nonprofits, and that’s definitely something I can get behind.

Cutesy-wootsy hypocorisms Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Riley bedroom inside the James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Touring the James Whitcomb Riley Museum House Commentary by Don Knebel The James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home, a National Historic Landmark since 1962, is perhaps the best-preserved TRAVEL Victorian home in the U.S. In about 1870, Indianapolis baker John R. Nickum, who made a fortune producing hardtack for the Union Army, engaged Robert Platt Daggett, an Indianapolis architect, to design a house for his family in Lockerbie Square, then a suburban neighborhood just east of Indianapolis’ original mile square. When completed in 1872, the two-story brick Italianate house at 538 Lockerbie St. featured 14-foot ceilings, a flush toilet, copper bathtub, hot and cold running water (pumped to a rooftop tank), communication tubes and hand-carved woodwork. In 1893, Nickum’s daughter, Magdalena, and her husband, Charles Holstein, invited James Whitcomb Riley to live with them in the house. By then, Riley, a 43-yearold bachelor, was internationally famous and earning $1,000 a week reading his poems throughout the nation. He occupied the largest bedroom on the second floor,

helping with expenses. Schoolchildren, who adored Riley’s poems, often visited him, as did a variety of notable people. Riley died in his bed from a stroke on July 23, 1916. William Fortune, an influential Indianapolis entrepreneur, purchased the house and donated it to the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association, which opened it to the public in 1922 as a memorial to Riley. The Association later founded Riley Hospital for Children. A visitors’ center, modeled on a carriage house, opened in 2004. Guided tours of the furnished house, with only the kitchen different from when Riley lived there, are available by appointment. Highlights include the room where Riley died, with his hat and cane on the bed, a library containing first-edition books given to Riley by famous authors and a bust of Riley in the lawn. Lockerbie Street remains covered with cobblestones, as it was when Riley died.

Remember that episode of “Seinfeld” where Jerry and Sheila (Jerry’s girlfriend for one episode) call each other “schmoopie”? GRAMMAR GUY Did you know there’s a term for these pet names? It’s called “hypocorism.” We get the term from the Greek word “hypokorizesthai,” which means “to call by pet names.” In general, the term applies to whenever adults talk like babies, create diminutive nicknames for other words or names, or use another fond term to replace someone’s name. Have you ever noticed people adding “-y” to the end of a word to make it sound cuter? That’s a hypocorism. My daughter (who is 3) calls her blanket a “blanky.” A “kitten” becomes a “kitty.” “Bird” turns into “birdy.” In the 1920s, the term “chamber pot” gave us the word “potty.” In our family, we’ve gone so far down the hypocorism rabbit hole that koalas have become “koalies.” I’m sure you’ve known someone named “John” who goes by “Johnny.” “Deborahs”

end up as “Debbys,” “Tims” become “Timmys” and “Jims” are called “Jimmys.” At least, that’s what you call them through elementary school. At some point in middle school, they come back from summer break with a lower voice and they say, “I go by Jim now.” These diminutive name versions are a form of hypocorisms. Think about when you’re talking to someone dear to you. Instead of saying “Agnes” (if Agnes is the focus of your endearment), you say “honey.” Most of the time these types of pet names are reserved for significant others, but sometimes we call our kids “sweetie.” In the “Seinfeld” example, “schmoopie” is about as absurd as it gets, but I’m sure you have a dating or married couple who calls each other “babe.” While “babe” is a far cry from “sugar pie” or “honeybunch,” it counts as a form of hypocorism.
