A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being the Grand Marshall of our city’s 4th Fest parade, and I was so excited that I invited family members from several states away to join in the fun. I imagined all of us cheering under clear blue skies, sharing candy with happy parade-goers.
My vision for the day was almost accurate – except for the tiny detail of the weather! On July 4, 2024, it actually rained on our actual parade. And you know what? Our community showed up anyway.
All along the parade route, neighbors and families stood cheering despite the wet weather, smiling and wishing each other “Happy Fourth!” as if sunshine was pouring down on them instead of rain. I was never prouder to be part of the Lawrence community.
Celebrations like 4th Fest are more than just a good time. Strangers become neighbors and neighbors become friends, making our community safer. Community events encourage people to look out for one another and fosters a sense of belonging.
The City of Lawrence has some great community events coming up designed to boost public safety. National Night Out is Tuesday August 6th. LPD, LFD, and city officials will be visiting neighborhood crime watches across the city. Community Safety Day is August 24th at Fire Station 40. This is a great opportunity to meet your public safety officers, see live demonstrations by Lawrence Police and Fire Departments, and learn about services provided throughout the Lawrence community.
Together, we can make our community more fun and safe!

Fishers hosts series of annexation open houses
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
The City of Fishers has wrapped up a series of six open houses providing information about a proposed annexation of what is now an unincorporated part of Hamilton County close to the Madison and Hancock county borders.
GOVERNMENT
During a July 29 open house at the downtown Fishers Municipal Center, Chief of Staff Jordin Alexander and department directors greeted people, walked them through the annexation process, answered questions and listened to concerns.
Alexander said attendance at the open houses has varied, but there were at least a couple that drew a pretty good crowd. Most concerns focused on taxes and sanitary sewer systems.
“There’s a lot of people that are on septic systems and a lot of people are curious if we’re going to force them to go on to sanitary,” she said. “We actually will not force anyone to go off of septic unless that septic is failing and beyond repair. But we have had some other individuals actually come to the meeting saying, ‘Hey, I do have a septic that is failing or going to be, can we explore connecting?’ And our engineers, they work with residents that are interested in that.”
Alexander said the city does have sanitary sewer infrastructure installed in the roadways for the proposed areas to be annexed. Those areas are, roughly, between Cyntheanne Road and the county line from East 101st Street to East 113th, with some carryover outside those roads.
The main concern has been taxes, though, and residents in the annexed area would see a tax increase. Alexander noted that there is a tax calculator online at fishersin.gov/annexation for people to plug in their address and see exactly how their taxes would change. She said the newly annexed area would have its own tax rate that, for example, would not include existing debt payments.
Alexander said there have been some positive responses, as well — many are happy that Fishers Police Department would be responding to law enforcement calls, because it is closer than the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. And then there are a lot of neutral questions about practical matters, such as would they have to switch water providers? They won’t — in fact, some of the residents get water from
nearby Fortville and would be able to continue that service.
There was some question about whether Fortville would actually try to annex the same area, even though that would mean crossing county lines. Alexander said to accomplish that, Fortville would have had to get approval from the Hamilton County Commissioners.
“Hamilton County Commissioners have indicated that they don’t really have an interest in allowing that,” she said, adding that the Fortville officials who initially proposed a competing annexation process were not familiar with the history of the area’s development. “I don’t think they were fully aware that we’ve kind of been tracking toward this for a while now.”
During an earlier interview, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness explained there has been a longheld understanding that those areas eventually would be annexed by the City of Fishers. The developers of the Vermillion and Flat Fork neighborhoods agreed during the development process that the properties would fall under a waiver so future owners couldn’t legally object to annexation.
The proposed annexation area includes about 950 parcels and about 75 percent of those have waivers attached.
Fall Creek Township Trustee Doug Allman was one of the citizens attending the July 29 open house. He doesn’t live in the area proposed to be annexed but said the township-managed Fall Creek Woods Natural Area would be part of the annexation.
Allman said annexation would, from what he can tell, be beneficial to the township’s property, in part because he would be able to work with the city to draft ordinances regulating what kind of activities can happen at the park.
“It will help us if we have some issues out there, so it’d be beneficial to the park,” he said. “And then, right now, local law enforcement is the sheriff’s department, so Fishers is probably a better first response.”
With the conclusion of the required open houses, the next step is for the Fishers City Council to introduce an ordinance and adopt a fiscal plan. That most likely will happen during the council’s Aug. 19 meeting. A public hearing is planned for October, with a final vote likely to take place in December.
Residents who do not have waivers attached to their property would then have until May 2025 to file objections. For more details, visit fishersin.gov/ annexation.

Hoosier State Instigators basketball team lands in Fishers
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
A new kind of professional basketball team is headed to Fishers.
SPORTS
The Hoosier State Instigators will play at Best Choice Fieldhouse, 11825 Technology Dr. The American Basketball Association season opens Oct. 19. There will be 10 home games and 10 road games, all on Saturday nights. The team is owned by Apex Athletic Collective, which gives fans voting power to make decisions.
“We came up with the idea of democratizing sports, where people have a subscription to Apex and help make decisions. Us playing in the ABA was a decision of those voters,” said Fishers resident Corey Kern, chairman and one of the founders of Apex Athletic Collective. “It’s truly fans running the team. Right now, most of our subscribers live outside of Indiana. They’re learning about Indiana and the basketball team because they are interested in making calls like the owners do. One is elected to sit on our board. Our hope is eventually we do this with more and more sports
teams in bigger and bigger leagues — really giving power to fans to shape their own teams, which has really been reserved for millionaire owners of major sports franchises.”
Apex previously was involved in Fan Controlled Football, an indoor football league that played two seasons in 2021 and 2022. Kern said fans called the offensive plays by vote.
Kern said the goal is for the Instigators to draw 150 fans per game.
each (other), so they don’t pull fans from each other,” Kern said.
The team previously played in the Clinton Community Recreation Center in Clinton. Kern said he loved that site.
“If we grow bigger, we’ll look for a bigger facility,” Kern said. “Players will sign autographs after the game. Kids can shoot at halftime when the teams go in the locker rooms. We’re trying to grow an environment where fans get to know the team and players.”
The team recently hired Jill Dobbs, who has run adult men’s leagues in the Indianapolis area and Chicago, as the head coach.
“Fishers was one of the areas we were super interested in when we were founding the team. We weren’t sure it was possible because teams have to be so far apart from
“Unfortunately, there were issues with technology and the community size with only 10,000 people or so living in Clinton, which made it unsustainable to stay there,” he said. “Since I’m from Fishers and one of the other owners lives on the northside of Indianapolis, as well, and we’ve seen all the other pro teams moving to Fishers, we thought we would revisit and take a stab at it. We worked it out with the league and worked it out with Best Choice Fieldhouse.”
In its debut 2023-24 season, the team played 16 regular-season games and two playoff games. There are approximately 160 ABA teams across the league in the United States.
Kern said the team is made up primarily of former college players, some who played overseas for a short time.
The ABA is divided into regions. The Instigators are with other teams in Indiana and

some teams in the Chicago area.
“I’d say half the team will be returning from last season,” Kern said. “Most of the players make under $100 a game, plus incentives. They are really doing it for the love of the game and the opportunity to go somewhere bigger. The league (pay) range varies because the league leaves it up to the teams.”
Among the returning players are leading scorer LaJuan Whitney, who averaged 25 points per game, and 7-foot Alex Brown, a former San Jose State player who led the ABA in blocked shots last season with an average of more than eight per game.
Tickets will be $10 and $5 for seniors and children under 12. There is a season-ticket package of $90 for all 10 home games.

FUNDING
“We are incredibly excited and grateful to receive this grant from the Indiana Arts Commission,” Arts for Lawrence Executive Director Elana Thompson stated in an email. “This support will enable us to enhance our programming and engage more deeply with the community. It’s a significant step toward achieving our mission of making the arts accessible to everyone in Lawrence.”
During its June 14 quarterly business meeting, commission members approved funding recommendations for the organization’s Arts Project Support and Arts Organization Support grant programs, according to a news release. Between the two grant programs, 338 organizations in 77 Indiana counties will receive funding.
“All across Indiana, we have seen the positive impact that investing in arts and creativity has on quality of life,” Indiana Arts Commission Chair Anne Penny Valentine stated. “Each of the projects and organizations selected to receive funding are doing exceptional creative work in and for Hoosier communities. The commission is excited and honored to support the work these organizations are doing to engage the public, develop their communities and encourage creativity across our state.”
The Arts Organization Support grant will allow Arts for Lawrence to continue its mission while providing arts programming
for the Lawrence community, the news release stated.
“Art and creativity foster connection and cohesion, support the entrepreneurial spirit communities need to thrive and help build the kinds of communities where people want to live, work, play, study and stay,” Indiana Arts Commission Executive Director Miah Michaelsen stated. “In every corner of the Hoosier state, public funding for arts and creativity continually proves to be a high-return investment that positively impacts the cultural, economic and educational climate of Indiana. It is a privilege to support the organizations building stronger Indiana communities through arts and creativity.”
Funding for the Indiana Arts Commission and its programs is provided by the Indiana General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

McCordsville man pleads guilty to mail theft
news@geistcurrent.com
A 54-year-old McCordsville man has pleaded guilty to federal charges of stealing mail through his job with the U.S. Postal Service in Indianapolis.
According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office Southern District of Indiana, Barry Gallon has been sentenced to one year of probation for the felony
Gallon was employed as a maintenance manager at the United States Postal Service’s Indianapolis Processing and Distribution Center for seven years, the news release stated. Between Aug. 31 and Sept. 20, 2023, he took cash from letters, packages, bags and mail at the distribution center.
“Since the founding of our country, the U.S. Postal Service has been a vital resource for all Americans — a resource that requires that Americans are able to trust that their mail will reach its intended destination,” stated Zachary A. Myers, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “When public servants criminally exploit their positions for their own gain, they must be held accountable. The felony criminal conviction here will ensure that the defendant will never again be in a similar position of trust.”
The United States Postal Service, Office of Inspector General investigated the case, according to the news release, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Corbin D. Houston was the prosecutor. The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Judge Matthew P. Brookman.

New home permits increase in central Indiana
REAL ESTATE news@youarecurrent.com
Permits for new single-family homes were up 29 percent in June 2024 comparted to June 2023, according to a breakdown of permits issued across the Indianapolis metropolitan region by the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis.
The report outlines another month of increased new single-family home permits for central Indiana, despite steady interest rates and increased home prices.
“Permit numbers in central Indiana are indicative of a healthy market,” stated Steve Lains, CEO of BAGI. “Mortgage costs are still low in historical comparison. There’s record high home equity and a tight labor market. We’ve seen a smaller percentage increase in home prices in the past two years and a steady (although higher than we’d like) interest rate. All of these factors, in addition to the housing demand, point to a strong, balanced market.”
In Hamilton County, 257 new single-family home permits were issued in June, including 121 in Westfield, 45 in Noblesville, 42 in Carmel/Clay and 38 in Fishers.
In Marion County, the total number of June permits was 123, including seven in Lawrence and 116 in Indianapolis.
Housing supply remains very low, adding to those increased permit numbers.
“Low, locked-in interest rates have locked people into their homes creating less existing inventory on the market and with delinquency rates at historical lows there are few distressed property sales,” Lains stated.

Fans descend on Colts camp
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
The Indianapolis Colts are back in action at Grand Park.
FOOTBALL
Colts Training Camp kicked off July 25, with three weeks of scrimmages and family-friendly activities.
Ken Pack of Carmel attended July 27 with his children, John Paul and Leo. Pack said having camp in Hamilton County provides an opportunity for local Colts fans to immerse themselves in the sport and get up close to the athletes.
“It’s a beautiful area up here,” Pack said. “It feels like you’re getting away from things even though we’re just down the road. It’s really nice to be able to make a day of it without having most of that day be traveling.”
Pack also said seeing the team in action is a positive experience all around, for himself and his kids.
“I’m high on them, and not just as a fan,” Pack said. “I actually think they have really good chances of some dramatic improvements on both sides of the ball.”
Tickets are required to enter training camp. Tickets for Primetime Practice days Aug. 14 and 15 are $5 for visitors 18 and older. Proceeds benefit the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis.
Parking at Grand Park is $5 in advance and $10 at the lot.
In addition to watching drills and scrimmages, fans can participate at the 85,000-square-foot Colts City interactive area, which includes a turf field, inflatables and appearances by Blue and the Colts Cheerleaders.

Herrmann eager to begin radio role
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Former Purdue University quarterback Mark Herrmann was accustomed to taking snaps from his former center, Pete Quinn.
BROADCASTING
Now, Herrmann is taking a different kind of handoff from Quinn.
The 1977 Carmel High School graduate and Geist-area resident is replacing a retiring Quinn as Purdue football radio color analyst.
Herrmann, 65, subbed in two games for Quinn in the booth last year and was the sideline reporter at Virginia Tech. Quinn, a former Geist resident who now lives in Carmel, had been the radio analyst for 32 years.
When Purdue Sports Properties General Manager Mark Walpole asked Herrmann if he was interested in the opening, he quickly said yes.
“I thought it would be fun to do Purdue games, so we’ll give it a go here,” he said.
“He had a great run,” Herrmann said. “I congratulate him on that, it’s quite a commitment. I think he was ready to be a normal fan in the stands and watch the games with his family. I think he’s excited that I’m taking the reins now.”
Herrmann played in the NFL for 11 seasons, concluding his career with the Indianapolis Colts in 1992. He then had a 10-year stint as a radio analyst for the Colts. Herrmann later served as an analyst on the Colts preseason games on TV for a few seasons.
“That was a lot of fun,” said Herrmann, who is the director of leadership and alumni engagement for the John Purdue Club. “Then I did six or seven years for ESPN Plus, calling some Mid-American Conference football games.”
Tim Newton has served as Purdue’s football play-byplay announcer since the 2009 season.
“Tim is great and a real professional,” Herrmann said. “We worked on a couple of games last year, so we have a feel for one another. He’s easy to work with, so I’m really looking forward to that. We’ll try to be as descriptive and enthusiastic as we can. It’s fun for me to talk football and the fact that it’s Purdue amplifies that. It’s a very good schedule this year, probably more than (coach) Ryan Walters wants. It will be very difficult but fun to watch how Purdue competes this year.”
Herrmann said he will have a different approach as a former quarterback than Quinn’s approach.
“I’ll give the fans a little different view from reading coverages and blocking schemes,” he said. “It might be more of a comprehensive approach. Hopefully, I can improve every week and, hopefully, a lot of folks will tune in.”
Along with being a standout high school quarterback, Herrmann helped lead the CHS basketball team to its first IHSAA state title in 1977. Herrmann. a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and Purdue Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame, led the Boilermakers to victories in the 1978 Peach, 1979 Bluebonnet and 1980 Liberty bowls.

COVER STORY
COVERING BAD WITH GOOD
Lawrence skatepark getting a facelift through volunteer partnership
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
The City of Lawrence’s skatepark is covered with bad graffiti. The vast majority has little to no artistic value and there are lewd references and curse words sprinkled throughout the glorified doodles.
An Indianapolis skater and skateboard builder who uses the park regularly is working hard to change that. Casper Jones, a volunteer with the international nonprofit Skatepark Respect, is coordinating with the Lawrence Parks Department to clean the skatepark, make minor repairs and plan how to not only discourage bad graffiti but encourage kids who want to create good graffiti.
Jones was at the park on a beautiful summer morning, measuring the site and making plans. He said graffiti is an ongoing issue at skateparks. One solution is, ironically, graffiti — the good kind.
“We’ve got big graffiti artists coming in to put big, acceptable, not-vulgar stuff everywhere,” he said. “That kind of helps the graffiti community police itself. It’s a respect thing.”
Because, he said, anyone who defaces a well-known graffiti artist’s work is going to face some social consequences.
Jones said Indianapolis muralist Robert Bentley is curating a team of Hoosier graffiti and street artists, including Eli Shaw, Tylar Lee, Aaron Scamihorn and Fabcrew.
“We’re also trying to bring in some of these kids that did some of the better art, so then they can get some tips from the guys,” Jones said, pointing to a couple drawings that showed some skill. “And also, just kind of (show) we’re working with them. That way, we don’t get any retaliation against it.”
Jones said skating and graffiti tend to go together, although he was unwilling to call the drawings currently covering the surfaces of the Lawrence skatepark “graffiti.”
“This is what the city thinks graffiti looks like, because this is all they see,” he said. “We’re showing them that art can be good in a skate park.”
City of Lawrence Parks Director Eric Martin admits that he doesn’t know much about skating or graffiti art, and he’s grateful Jones offered his expertise and
connections.
“It is very welcome, because we don’t have the same mindset,” he said of himself and other city officials. “We see graffiti and we see that it needs to be cleaned up. where they see an art form that will maintain itself if it’s done correctly with the right people.”
Martin said it had gotten to the point where the Parks Department pretty much gave up trying to clean up the skatepark, because as soon as they removed graffiti, new drawings would pop up the next day. He’s hopeful Jones’ plan will result in a better park for everyone.
“If there’s buy-in from their group and
SKATEPARK RESPECT
Indianapolis skateboarder Casper
Jones is a member of the international nonprofit Skatepark Respect, which promotes volunteer efforts within the skating community to clean up and maintain the parks that they use.
“They send me stuff like gloves, a little grabber, scrapers for picking the gum off the ground, all that kind of stuff,” he said. “They kind of lit a fire under me to start doing this kind of thing.”
According to the organization’s website, they work under the “broken windows theory.”
“The theory posits that a broken window, if left broken, sends a message
that disorder is acceptable, causing more broken windows, more crime, more disorder,” the website states. “Disorder causes crime, and crime causes further disorder and crime. Fixing the broken window sends a message that it is not acceptable and that someone cares and takes ownership of the issue.”
The organization’s mission is to create a sense of responsibility among those who use skateparks to keep those parks clean and to dispel negative stereotypes about skating through positive action.

the kids and people around the Lawrence area that utilize it. I think it’ll maintain itself well,” he said.
The Lawrence skatepark was built in 2008. Martin said that while they don’t keep count of how many people use the park, there’s up to a dozen at a time, depending on the time of day.
“I can also say (this is) the first time I’ve come up and there’s not been a lot of trash,” he said. “So, they’re doing a good job.”
Jones has been regularly picking up trash in and around the skatepark and said some of the kids have joined in after watching him set an example. He was inspired to volunteer his time for this project for a simple reason — he loves skateparks, uses skateparks and wants cities to continue to build, expand and offer skateparks. That won’t happen if city officials are frustrated by ongoing problems with vandalism.
“The first park I cleaned was Greenwood a long time ago and that that was like, right after it got built and it was clear there was no expansion happening because of (the graffiti),” he said. “Until the cities understand the difference between (bad and good graffiti), we’ve got to do stuff like this and work with them. Eventually, we hope that the cities start seeking out graffiti artists and then (the artists) get paid to do this kind of thing. But right now, it’s just a good partnership, so that everybody’s working together.”
Jones said he was pleasantly surprised by how receptive Martin and the Lawrence Parks Board were to his proposals.
“The goal right now is just show them — show Eric and everybody else that we care for the park,” he said. “Then hopefully, down the road, (they will move) toward expansions, things like that, to make this park a destination spot.”
Jones said the day for painting new artwork is tentatively set for Sept. 7 at the skatepark, which is inside Lawrence Community Park, 5301 N. Franklin Rd. The public will be welcome to watch the artists’ progress.

Carmel Jazz Festival feature high school, college musicians
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Carmel High School senior Michael Clarke knows this is a special opportunity for his band.
Clarke is the keyboardist for Europa, which will play on the Carter Green stage at 9 p.m. Aug. 10 in the Carmel Jazz Festival, which starts Aug. 9.
“The whole point of this band is to get us out there and get experience with playing, especially jazz,” Clarke said. “Playing at Jazz Fest is the culmination of that. It started with us wanting to get our names out there and play music. The fact we’re able to play in front of so many skilled musicians, it’s exactly what we were aiming to do. Even if we don’t play, like, a perfect concert, we’ll be able to watch others. We’ll get feedback and we’ll show we really do care about this kind of art.”
Clarke recently was on a School of Rock All-Stars tour of the Midwest.
The group includes 2024 CHS graduate Sam Rubin on guitar, along with Clarke and fellow CHS seniors Ben Krowiak, drums, and Tarek Osman, saxophone. Zionsville Community High School junior Gus Brown plays bass guitar. Rubin, Clarke, Osman and Krowiak got together to play jazz tunes about two years ago.
“We were making slow progress for a year and we ended up playing at our school’s Jazz a la Mode concert in 2023, which was a lot of fun,” Clarke said. “It was fun, but it didn’t sound amazing.”
Clarke invited Brown to join the band about a year ago.
“Having a bassist helped us fill out some of our sounds,” he said.
Brown joined Europa for the Jazz a la Mode concert at CHS this spring. He also was selected for the School of Rock AllStar tour and recently returned from a tour of Florida.
Clarke said they plan to continue as Europa as Rubin is attending Purdue Uni-
versity and should be able to join them for performances.
“I’m going to Purdue next year and none of us are planning to go too far away to college, so we’re planning to keep this going,” Clarke said. “It’s been a lot of fun and it’s much more successful than we ever thought it would be.”
At the Carmel Jazz Festival, CHS junior Delilah Seal will join the band to sing Erroll Garner’s “Misty.” Clarke said it’s a 30-minute set, so Europa is planning to perform six songs.
“We’ve narrowed down to playing the best of the best songs we know how to play,” Clarke said.
The name Europa is derived from the name of one of Jupiter’s moons.
“It’s why our logo is an astronaut,” Clarke said.
The Aug. 10 program also will feature The Jazz Professors at 9:30 p.m. on the Carter Green stage.
The group includes college professors Mark Buselli, Ball State University; Tom Walsh, Indiana University; Mark O’Connor, University of Indianapolis; and Matt Pivec, Butler University.
“The four of us will be performing with an all-star student from one of our
student combos,” said Buselli, who is director of jazz studies at BSU and is a northside Indianapolis resident.
Buselli plays trumpet and the rest of the professors play saxophone. The students will play piano, guitar, drums and bass guitar.
Buselli said the same four professors played together last year in the inaugural Carmel Jazz Festival.
“The experience was wonderful, especially for the students,” Buselli said. “They played to packed houses. They were very excited that people were actually listening to them and clapping. The energy was really nice.”
The Indiana University and Ball State combos will play 90-minute sets Aug. 10 at the Studio Theater in the Center for the Performing Arts. The University of Indianapolis and Butler jazz combos play Aug. 9 at the Studio Theater.
“It’s great for the students because they have to (have) a rehearsal schedule, they have to figure out as a group what music to play and who is playing on what songs,” Buselli said. “It’s a learning experience.”

Reunited Doobies continue tour
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
When Pat Simmons asked Michael McDonald if he wanted to rejoin The Doobie Brothers for a few shows for the band’s 50th anniversary tour, he had no idea how long it would last.
CONCERT
“It turned out to be serendipitous,” said Simmons, the band’s guitarist and one of its founding members. “Mike joined us for a few shows. I think he was enjoying himself. It’s turned into more shows. He’s always been welcome to come and play with us. He’s been in and out through the years, singing on a few albums we’ve done and showing up at shows. It’s extended into years now. We’ll see how long he can stand us.”
McDonald will be part of The Doobie Brothers’ performance Aug. 17 at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville. Steve Winwood is the opening act at 7 p.m.
The 50th anniversary tour was supposed to start in 2020 but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Doobie Brothers appeared with McDonald in 2021.
McDonald joined the band in 1975 as a temporary replacement for Tom Johnston, who became ill during a national tour. He fit in so well, he became a full-time member until the band took a four-year hiatus in 1982.
“For me, it brings together both eras of the band,” Simmons said. “When Mike’s not there, we might do one or two of his songs. It’s nothing like having the real guy there singing his stuff. For the audience, it’s a pretty special experience. Mike certainly has his own fan base. Some might not even like The Doobie Brothers but they like Mike. We kind of pick up his audience as well.”
Simmons said the band is rehearsing a new song, “Walk This Road,” that it hopes to debut this summer.
“I think we’re ready to perform it now,” he said. “It’s getting it right and where do you put a song that nobody knows. I guess that’s where everybody wants to take a bathroom break.”
Simmons, 75, said the band tries to stay prepared for long tours.
“We do the best we can,” he said. “We do try to take care of ourselves. We’re not the young kids we once were. Playing live keeps you in the game. We’re lucky to have a great repertoire. Everybody has been involved in writing. Everybody contributes and everybody sings.”
Simmons, who wrote and sings “Black Water,” wrote “Cannonball” from the 2021 album “Liberté,” a song about motorcycles
“It goes family, band and motorcycles,” he said of his three loves. “It’s about a cross-country ride that I’ve done a few times called the Motorcycle Cannonball.”

Prairie presents bassoon band
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Doug Spaniol knows his band has a unique approach to music.
CONCERT
“For the audience to hear a band of electric bassoons is unusual, a novelty,” Spaniol said. “The amazing thing is how we can make it sound like a regular old rock band using bassoons.”
This is the third consecutive year Rock E Bassoon will perform at Symphony on the Prairie at Conner Prairie in Fishers. Rock E Bassoon will open for Yächtley Crëw at 8 p.m. Aug. 10.
“From our perspective, playing at Conner Prairie is great,” said Spaniol, a professor of bassoon at Butler University. “It’s a great venue, lovely audience, awesome sound system and the weather is nice. It’s a great evening for everyone. It’s my favorite gig of all the gigs that I do and Conner Prairie is my favorite venue.”
Matt Gutwein formed the band with Spaniol, Mark Ortwein and Diana Ortega to play a set of Beatles music at the Tonic Ball in 2016. They enjoyed it so much they
kept playing together. Eventually, Ortega moved from Indianapolis.
The other members are Mike Muszynski, Kelly Swensson, Kara Stolle and drummer Craig Hetrick. Swensson and Stolle live in Zionsville and the other members live in Indianapolis. Ortwein, Muszynski and Hetrick are full-time ISO members.
Carmel resident PJ Woolston will sub for Gutwein at Symphony on the Prairie.
Spaniol said “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Uptown Funk,” “Crazy Town” and “Toxic” are among the songs the band performs. For more, visit rockebassoon.com.

Of all the (goat) cheesy topics
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
I’m always nervous about traveling overseas because I’m afraid I’ll miss something important here in the United States. For example, we will be gone during part of February next year. My wife Mary Ellen could not have picked a worse month to be away. With a simple Google search, I realized I’d miss many exciting celebrations.
HUMOR
To name just a few: National Chocolate Month, National Pie Month, National Dental Health Month, National Age-related Macular Degeneration Month, Spay/Neuter Awareness Month, International Brownie Camera Day, National Goat Yoga Month, Spunky Old Broads Month, National Creative Romance Month and, finally, Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month.
Our family is headed on vacation this month. I just realized that August is National Goat Cheese Month. How time flies. It seems like just yesterday, I was celebrating this holiday with some of my closest friends, going to wine and cheese parties and getting high on cholesterol. Has it really been a year?
How did goat cheese get an entire month? I don’t want to insult goat cheese lovers (or goats), but I don’t think goat cheese deserves four weeks. I figure with a good party planner and some forethought, you could celebrate everything about goat cheese in a day — maybe in two hours. But “National Goat Cheese Two Hours” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
You probably just said to your spouse, “Where is Wolfsie going with this goat cheese thing? He can’t write an entire column about goat cheese.”
And the response you got, “You’re selling the guy short, sweetheart. I’ve seen him write about way dumber things.”
I’m not going to take the easy way out by bringing in National Peanut Butter Month, which started slowly but spread over the years. And I won’t mention National Kite Month, which had trouble getting off the ground.
No, this is about National Goat Cheese Month. And I’m sticking to it (that line would have been better during National Peanut Butter Month).
How did goat cheese get an entire month? Is there a goat cheese lobby? What
would that smell like? While we’re all out whooping it up for goat cheese, the American Dental Association is celebrating its month. I think it’s also National Mandolin Month. And National Osteoporosis Month. How can we focus when there are so many distractions?
Now that I know it’s National Goat Cheese Month, I don’t want to fritter it away (I’d do that during National Apple Month). I mean, how many Augusts do I have left?
After dinner we’ll … or maybe we’ll go down to … how about a nice evening of … See what I mean? You can’t even fill two hours celebrating goat cheese. Why didn’t they partner with National Goat Yoga Month?
I wrote 480 words about goat cheese, which is the maximum I’m required to turn in for my column.

Blueprint for Improvement: Transforming tradition in Indianapolis
Commentary by Larry Greene
We believe every home should be customized to its family’s unique personality and needs, which can mean reimagining traditional spaces. When our clients envisioned transforming their Fall Creek home’s underutilized formal dining room into a chic gathering space, we were ready! Our team revitalized the area, creating the perfect bar room for relaxing and entertaining, while ensuring the space remains versatile for future resale.
THE BLUEPRINT
• The material mix sets a layered and stylish tone. Ebony cabinetry and rich wood tones lend a touch of sophistication, while antiqued mirrored shelving, seeded glass cabinet fronts and a hammered sink add texture and shine.
• The beverage fridge and sink make entertaining or unwinding with a drink easy and effortless.
• Wood tones on the counter, molding and plantation shutters lend organic appeal and depth, balanced by neutral tones on the walls and upholstery.
• In contrast to the room’s clean lines, the conversation area features graceful curves in the club chairs, cocktail table and lighting fixture. This juxtaposition helps define the space and creates a striking focal point.
