Lawrence Public Works Director Chris Wilburn directed a blistering storm of criticism at Controller Humphrey Nagila during a special Oct. 10 Storm Water Board meeting, accusing Nagila of misleading the public, diverting restricted funds to falsely balance the 2025 budget and breaching the public’s trust.
The special meeting was scheduled to review the stormwater budget, which is funded through designated fees that can be used only for stormwater projects. During questioning by board members, Nagila said that more than $1.3 million was removed from the repairs and maintenance portion of the fund’s budget based on the “requests, perceived requests or perceived needs” of the department head.
“The budget process begins from the specific departments, where the department heads bring forward to the controller their requests or their needs for the following year’s budget,” Nagila said. “We did have a meeting where we went through the stormwater budget. But at the time, and I’m not sure if that has changed or not, I believe there was no requests for 2025.”
He told the board that as the department head, Wilburn would be a better person to answer specific questions about why that line item was reduced.
During a previous Storm Water Board meeting, Wilburn said he was not involved in decisions to cut that fund’s budget. When he spoke Oct. 10, he gave a lengthy, passionate statement.
“Today, we’re faced with the betrayal of our foundation of trust,” he said. “We learned that $1.3 million earmarked for our stormwater fund and our stormwater projects was diverted to falsely balance the 2025 budget of this city. The center of this deception is the controller. His actions ar-
en’t merely a mistake — they’re not a mistake. There’s no language barrier, there’s no political attack, there’s no personal vendetta or misunderstanding. They’re outright lies. They’re lies. This is not about a financial misstep. This is truth versus lies, integrity versus deception, community first versus selfishness, right versus wrong.”
Wilburn said that during a Sept. 25 department head meeting, he advised the controller several times to not cut the stormwater fund because it is a restricted fund, but his concerns were dismissed.
“The $1.3 million meant (for projects) to protect (from) flooding, safeguard our infrastructure and serve the best interests of our community is not and will not occur,” he said. “Instead, it was used as a decoy to cover up a budget shortfall, to paint a false picture of fiscal responsibility. Humphrey, you’re playing games with the lives of people in this city. It’s difficult to hear, but this is the truth. You’re undermining the very trust placed in our government and have violated the principles of good governance. This is not how leaders should act
or respond. We can’t allow our city’s future to be compromised by lies and deceits.”
As proof, Wilburn read aloud a portion of an email sent to him from the controller, stating, “Attached are the modifications made on the DPW budget in order to balance the general fund.”
Current sent a request for comment from the city. A response was not received by deadline for this report. During an Oct. 10 Lawrence Common Council committee meeting, Nagila stated that he is aware stormwater funds can’t be used for anything other than stormwater projects. He asked a representative from Baker Tilly, which has been providing guidance, to address the issue, but that representative said only that the company gave advice about balancing the budget and that any specific cuts were made by the controller.
Storm Water Board members tabled a vote on the fund’s budget until a later time when they could have a longer discussion. The next regular Storm Water Board meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Oct. 28 at Lawrence Government Center, 9001 E. 59th St.

A screenshot of the text message was sent to Current late Oct. 10. A City of Lawrence spokesperson confirmed Oct. 11 that the content was accurate.
In response to a request for comment, the city provided this statement from Whitfield: “I wish Zach well. I know he’ll make positive contributions wherever he goes.”

Councilor calls for controller’s removal
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
The Lawrence Common Council voted during an Oct. 10 committee meeting to send a favorable recommendation of the proposed 2025 City of Lawrence budget to the next full council meeting for final consideration. However, councilors clarified their recommendation was only to move the process forward and didn’t indicate confidence or satisfaction with the $28 million draft spending plan or the city controller’s performance.
CITY NEWS
what is best for the City of Lawrence and remove Humphrey Nagila as controller.”
The city’s finances have been the main topic of discussion during Lawrence government meetings, with many questions still unanswered or partially answered. The city’s Public Works Director Chris Wilburn severely criticized Nagila during the Oct. 10 Storm Water Board meeting and during the council’s committee meeting, accusing the controller of deception and mismanagement of public funds.
Councilor Kristie Krone (D-District 6) proposed the favorable recommendation, noting that it wasn’t a recommendation of good faith.
“I also hope Mayor (Deb) Whitfield recognizes that as a councilor, my main job is to oversee the fiscal body of the City of Lawrence,” Krone said. “It is my obligation to supervise the city’s financial stability. During this budget process, the controller has slowly responded to or outright dismissed questions and concerns by the council regarding the proposed budget. I’m deeply concerned about the controller’s ability to effectively provide financial direction for the city and council, and therefore, I have no faith in his ability to serve in this capacity. Mayor Whitfield, if you are listening, please do
Also during the committee meeting, the council forwarded favorable recommendations for two new collective bargaining agreements for city fire and police union members, new salaries for city employees and appropriations and transfers needed to balance the current year’s budget.
The committee forwarded an unfavorable recommendation for an ordinance that would provide raises for elected officials.
The council also removed the deputy chief of staff from the city’s list of approved positions for 2025. That position is held by LeAndre Level. Until Oct. 11, Level served under Chief of Staff Zach Brown, who recently resigned, citing “irreconcilable and substantial leadership differences regarding good governance.”
The next regular Lawrence Common Council meeting was scheduled for Oct. 16.

The Cabin celebrates 25 years
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
Asking for help isn’t always easy.
WELLNESS
The Cabin, a nonprofit counseling and resource center based in Zionsville, has spent the past quarter-century trying to fill that need.
“Often, when folks have a mental health issue, only about 40 percent of adults and 50 percent of children and teens pursue care,” said founder, executive director and licensed marriage and family therapist Deidra Rausch.
The Cabin opened in 1999 at Zionsville Presbyterian Church with two providers. Rausch became executive director in 2002, and in 2010 The Cabin became an independent nonprofit organization.
After several years of growth, the organization expanded services, opening an office in Westfield in 2019 and Lebanon in 2022.
Rausch said the pandemic created an increase in need for its services. The Cabin added 10 additional therapists and a second Zionsville location during the pandemic before opening The Retreat in downtown Zionsville in 2021.
“It is a space we use for 25 or fewer, we really at that point started to cultivate our organizational wellness services,” she said. “In June of 2021, we had a small business approach us. Their employees were being tasked to come back physically and they were experiencing a fair amount of anxiety. So, we created some programming throughout the course of that year for teams.”
Rausch said cost and access are the primary reasons why people don’t reach out for help when they need it. The Cabin works to bridge that gap with assistance from the Samaritan Fund.
“Because costs can prevent folks from pursuing care, about 30 percent of those who receive care at The Cabin qualify for Samaritan Fund assistance,” she said.
“It’s all calculated based on gross income, number of individuals in the household and we utilize the federal poverty scale to determine what the fee is that the client will pay. That can be as low as $38 for a session.”
The Cabin fundraises for those assistance dollars. This year’s goal is $225,000. Rausch said The Cabin is approaching the $2 million mark for money raised for the Samaritan Fund over the past 25 years.
This year’s main fundraiser, Shining a Light on Mental Health, is from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Nov. 16 at West Fork Whiskey in Westfield. The Cabin also relies on individual donations throughout the year.
“That really has allowed us to continue to offer that Samaritan Fund assistance,” Rausch said.
One message The Cabin hopes to spread as it celebrates its 25th anniversary — mental wellness affects everyone.
“There is a misperception that only people who are hanging on by their bloody fingernails need to come to therapy,” Rausch said. “That certainly is a moment where we can help. But whenever you look at wellness, it’s multidimensional; physical, psychological/mental, spiritual, social, occupational and environmental. If any of those aspects are not in balance, it can cause anxiety, depression, loneliness, all of those characteristics that I think are emotions that most of us experience. Mental health just means that you’re functioning optimally in all the aspects of your life. It’s hard to find what mental wellness is, because it’s different for everyone. But, making sure you’re as healthy at managing your emotions as you can be.”
Rausch said clients range in age from 4 to 100.

Delay doubles sewer repair costs
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
The City of Lawrence’s cost to repair a July sewer line break on Pendleton Pike close to CSX railroad was double the original projection because work was delayed about two months while the city waited for the rail company to have an employee available to provide access to the property.
CITY NEWS
The original estimate of $125,000 was approved in early July by the city’s Utility Service Board and the city had Culy Contracting on hand and ready to do the work. CSX wasn’t able to let them access the site until late August.
During the Oct. 8 Utility Service Board meeting, Utilities Superintendent Paul Wanner said that delay meant the overall cost went up by another $125,000.
“There were additional costs for the traffic measures that had to be left in place on Pendleton Pike — the barrels, the traffic plates, periodically removing the plates and checking the temporary repair to make sure that it was still holding up as
The Benjamin, a mixed-use development, is moving forward with construction at Lawrence’s Fort Ben campus. (Photo by Leila Kheiry) it should,” he said. “So, we accrued more costs on those and then when CSX was finally able to give us a date that they would be available. It was on a Saturday. So, that moved everything into overtime work for the contractor and the subcontractor.”
In other matters, the Utilities Service Board approved two motions related to The Benjamin, a planned mixed-use development off 56th Street that The Keystone Group and city officials broke ground for in October 2023.
The two motions provide for inspections of water and sanitary sewer line construction work. Wanner said the developer will reimburse the city for the inspection costs.

HOMEOWNERSHIP
The City of Fishers and Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity co-hosted the city’s second panel build event Oct. 4 at Holland Park, 1 Park Dr. During the event, about 100 volunteers and community partners assembled exterior and interior wall panels for a future home for a family in the Greater Indianapolis area.
“This event represents the essence of Fishers — a strong sense of community, teamwork and collaboration,” Mayor Scott Fadness stated in an announcement. “By partnering with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity and with the support of local businesses, we’re not just constructing a house alongside the homeowner; we’re uniting our community to work toward a shared purpose.”
A traditional board-cutting ceremony included Fadness and Jim Morris, president and CEO of Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity, along with panel build partners.
“Affordable homeownership is important to the quality of life, health and economic prosperity of an entire community as well as individual households, so we applaud the Fishers community for coming together to build the walls for a future first-time buyer,” Morris stated. “As fewer and fewer families can afford their first home, support from the City of Fishers and their sponsors raises awareness of the need and impact of affordable homeownership and helps make it a reality for local Hamilton County families.”
Event sponsors and partners included CRG Residential, Meyer Najem, Indy Fuel, Fishers Freight, Carrington Homes, Citizen’s State Bank, Inherent and Sweetgreen.

School district, teachers reach tentative agreement
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
EDUCATION
If you’re searching for a spot that’s all about community, friendliness and respect for one another, Colonnade Townhomes in McCordsville, IN, has a small-town atmosphere to rave about.
Envision quiet weekend mornings meandering along walking trails dotted with wide open spaces and a shimmering pond. When you’re ready for a day out, head to nearby Fishers and Fortville, and mark your calendars for the upcoming McCord Square Downtown District! Your favorite artist might just come to the planned outdoor amphitheater.
Like other school districts throughout Indiana, Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township kicked off teacher contract negotiations this fall. On Oct. 9, the district announced that negotiators on both sides had reached a tentative agreement.
Details won’t be available until after the agreement has been ratified by union members and the MSDLT Board of Education. A district spokesperson said the matter will be on the board’s November meeting agenda.
The day before the tentative agreement was announced, the district posted a message on social media from Superintendent Shawn Smith. In it, he stated that the district was committed to good-faith bargaining with the Lawrence Education Association.
“Our teachers are the backbone of our educational system and we value their dedication and expertise,” he stated. “Our goal is to reach an agreement that is fair to our teachers while also being responsible to our students and taxpayers.”
Smith added that one of the board’s goals is attracting and retaining highly effective staff.
“To this end, our district has provided annual raises to teachers for the past decade, recognizing their ongoing professional growth and the realities of inflation,” he stated. “As we enter these negotiations, we remain committed to continuing this practice of annual raises, subject to the
financial realities of our district and the outcome of our good faith bargaining process.”
Smith noted that the district’s funding is largely determined by student enrollment and state funding. He stated that with an increase of more than 200 students this year, the district anticipated a $3.8 million increase in funding, putting MSDLT in a strong fiscal position. However, he said, the district still needed to consider longterm financial stability.
“It is important for our community to understand that while we value our teachers immensely, we must also consider the broader financial implications of any agreement,” he stated. “The district is committed to avoiding any proposal that would significantly impact our financial footing.”
Smith stated that the goal is to find a middle ground that is fair to teachers and maintains the district’s financial stability.
Lawrence Education Association co-President Amanda Rose said in an email response to a request for comment that teaching conditions are student-learning conditions. She expressed concern with actions of state lawmakers, rather than those of the local district.
“Our teachers are immensely concerned with class sizes and working conditions — both items our state Legislature has removed from collective bargaining,” she stated. “In addition, hearing that our Legislature wants to dismantle collective bargaining altogether greatly concerns teachers across the state. We look forward to continuing to work together with MSDLT administration to show our teachers they are valued.”

Fishers resident honored for saving driver from crash
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
The City of Fishers organized a brief but meaningful ceremony Oct. 3 honoring resident Adam Barr, who saved a 17-year-old boy from possible death Aug. 28 by pulling him out of a vehicle that crashed into a home, triggering a gas leak that led to the home catching fire.
HERO
The ceremony took place at the Fishers Police Department’s training room, which was filled with city officials, media, members of Barr’s family and the family of the young man he saved. Mayor Scott Fadness thanked Barr for his actions that day.
“At times like this when we give out recognition, one might say congratulations, but I think today, the tone is more about gratitude,” he said. “It takes an entire community to come together in these hard moments and to take care of one another and you would exemplify that.”
Fishers Fire Department Chief Steve Orusa said that among firefighters, when you commit yourself to harm’s way for another person, it creates an unbreakable bond.
“You did that and you’re not even a member of a fire department, so we’re measuring you for your turnout (and) helmet right after this event,” he joked. “We might have to do something with the beard, but we’ll talk about that.”
Orusa then presented Barr with the Citizens Lifesaver Award.
The young man he saved, Jaxon Chiamopoulos, and his family took turns giving Barr hugs and expressing their gratitude for his actions.
Chiamopoulos said he was driving home and when he was turning right, the steering wheel locked up.
“I was already mid-turning right, so when the car locked, it went up the curb and hit the side of the house,” he said. “Adrenaline took over and I wasn’t thinking a lot, like I was trying to turn the steering wheel and next thing I know, I’m on the side of the house. It was all a blur, like buzzing in my ear. I couldn’t really hear anything until Adam came and knocked on my window.”
Police body cam video footage from the incident shows Barr explaining that he had witnessed the crash, pulled over and ran to the vehicle. He told a first responder
that he saw Chiamopoulos in the vehicle and smelled gas, so pulled him out quickly. Soon after, the vehicle was engulfed.
Chiamopoulos’ parents, Hope and George, were home at the time of the accident. Hope Chiamopoulos said she was cooking and still has a burn on her arm from accidentally brushing against the hot stove after Jaxon called them from an unknown number to tell them what had happened.
“We open our front door because we live in the neighborhood and we just see the smoke,” she said. “And we ran. We just ran.”
George Chiamopoulos said the family is deeply grateful for Barr’s actions that day.
Barr, who is the principal of Options Schools in Noblesville, said it was a little uncomfortable to be in the spotlight, but he was happy to see Jaxon is doing well. He said he hopes other people will be inspired to offer aid when needed.
“In that moment, when you see somebody in need, just make sure that you at least stop and see what’s going on and try your best to help,” he said.

Noblesville goalkeeper develops quickly in first varsity season
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Noblesville High School junior soccer goalkeeper Alex Eberhart made a quick transition from junior varsity to varsity.
“I think I made the most improvement in my decision making this season, which was something I really had to work at to make big decisions in split-second moments,” Eberhart said.
The Millers, who had won the past three IHSAA Class 3A boys soccer state titles, reached the sectional final Oct. 12 before losing to Carmel 1-0 to finish with an 11-2-6 record.
“Alex is the main reason we were successful this season,” NHS coach Ken Dollaske said. “He has grown so much since last year. Alex was a JV goalkeeper last year and this year he had to fill the shoes of an All-American (Cole Thompson), and he did so admirably.”

at Oakland University, was the 2023 Indiana Soccer Coaches Association Player of the Year.
Eberhart played in every game this season, allowing only 11 goals in 18 games. The 6-foot-1 goalkeeper had eight shutouts.
“His reaction saves improved so much

from last year to this year,” Dollaske said.
“His vision and communication from the back have been huge bright spots for us this season. He made saves this year that he would not have made last year. The growth was amazing. Plus, he had never saved a (penalty kick) in his career. This year, he saved two. His senior year will be something special.”
Eberhart said he expects the team will be strong in 2025.
“Given that it was a younger team and many of our guys had never played a varsity minute until this year, I think we absolutely made strides,” he said. “To play the schedule we did and get the results we did was not an easy task at all. We consistently challenged ourselves and made big improvements throughout the year, thanks to our coaching but also the strong, growth-focused mindset of our players.”
Eberhart’s favorite high school memory was watching the Millers defeat Warsaw on penalty kicks last year in the Kokomo Regional semifinals.
“It was great to watch and be able to learn from Cole,” he said.
Eberhart has played for Indy Premier for five years.
“I started playing soccer at 5 years old and started to play goalie around age 10. I played goalie and other positions, too, until I was around 13 and that is when I started playing goalie only,” he said.

New director’s goal is to make Benjamin Harrison YMCA ‘indispensable’
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
Midmorning is the slow time, but at 11 a.m. on a pleasant Thursday in October there still was a steady stream of people heading into the Benjamin Harrison YMCA on their way to classes, the pool, to walk or run on treadmills or to use the facility’s weightlifting equipment.
Senior citizens also dropped by to pick up bags of groceries that volunteers had put together for the center’s weekly senior food distribution program, which Executive Director Ali Brown said serves between 50 and 70 seniors who live in nearby 55-plus communities.
Brown is the somewhat new director for the Lawrence-based YMCA. She’s been on the job since May and said that when she started, she was asked a simple question by her boss at the YMCA of greater Indianapolis: If her YMCA closed down, would the community riot?
“I think it would be upset, but we’re not indispensable,” she said. “So, my goal is to make it indispensable.”
To that end, Brown said she wants to expand the senior food program to reach more people and offer outreach programs for other demographics, such as its early learning center that helps get kids ready for kindergarten and its new, free English language learner classes for recent immigrants who want to improve their English skills.
“We’ve got an incredibly large immigrant population here, so making sure that people feel — not just providing them education so they feel more comfortable coming into the community, but welcoming them into our community, welcoming their families and showing them what the Y is,” she said.
Lawrence also is home to many military veterans — the Y was the health and fitness center for the former Fort Benjamin Harrison Army base. Brown said the Y serves many of those veterans through its regular programs and has a veterans services officer visit once a week to provide information and help veterans fill out forms, saving them a drive to downtown Indianapolis.
“We’re really trying to do as much as we can,” she said. “Our goal is to create a healthier, more connected, more equitable
community and we do that through working on mind, body and spirit. We’ve got PTSD programs for veterans that do virtual reality. We’ve got meditation programs. … We’re trying to build that community. That was kind of what I was tasked with, and I see it as one and the same (for) both my jobs — my job is to serve my community and do the most I can and I get to do that here. So, it’s really cool.”
Brown also is an elected member of the Indianapolis City-County Council, representing Lawrence’s District 10.
Accessibility is another big part of becoming indispensable and Brown said access to the Y will improve with the new IndyGo Purple Line rapid transit route, which will stop about 300 yards from the Y’s front door at 5736 Lee Rd. There are other ways to improve accessibility, such as child care on-site for parents to have a safe place for their younger children while they get in a little exercise and for YMCA employees who need childcare while they work.
The facility also offers special programs for people with sensory sensitivities, in-
cluding a special sensory swim time on Sunday afternoons for children with autism and others who can get overwhelmed by noise.
“We make sure the radio’s not on — we do all that kind of stuff,” Brown said. “We want to make sure that people feel welcome here.”
The Y also offers special programs for seniors that are paid for through medical insurance and scholarships for those who can’t afford a regular membership. Fundraisers pay for those scholarships and Brown said the Y will never turn anyone away who wants to join — including teenagers who simply need a safe space to hang out.
The Benjamin Harrison YMCA and other YMCAs throughout the greater Indianapolis area will host a “Try the Y Day” Oct. 26, when anyone can come see the programs available at the facilities.
“We call it our Community Day,” Benjamin Harrison YMCA Director Ali Brown said. “We’ll have classes running all day. You can try out the classes. We’ll have the pool (open). It’s also our first day of basketball — we run a basketball league — so, that’ll be going on in the gym. It’s going to be a fun and chaotic day.”
Visitors also can tour the entire facility, talk to instructors and trainers and
maybe win a door prize.
“The goal is just to get as many people in so they can see us,” Brown said. “Because I believe once you come in here, you’re going to fall in love with the facilities, you’re going to fall in love with the staff, you’re going to fall in love with the potential that you see in yourself and you’re going to come back.”
Community Day is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at all Indianapolis-area YMCA facilities, including the Benjamin Harrison YMCA at 5736 Lee Rd. For more about the event, visit indymca.org/events/communityday.
“I remember being a teenager, even though it just feels like it was so long ago,” she said. “Teens just want a place to exist where they can be themselves. They need some kind of walls, right? But they don’t need to be constantly monitored.”
And, she said, the Y can offer that, along with healthy activities teens might enjoy.

New studio helps artists achieve their dreams
By Jennifer A. Haire editorial@youarecurrent.com
Nestled in the heart of Carmel on Medical Drive, Artist Development Studio is a new full-service, state-ofthe-art facility to help musical artists achieve their dreams.
A resource for the music and performing arts community, the studio offers private coaching lessons in a variety of musical crafts.
“The idea is to cultivate artists, to get them to be the best that they can be,” said Blair Clark, who has coached young artists for more than 25 years.
Instrumental lessons are offered in bass, drums, keyboard and guitar. Voice lessons in show choir and musical theater, as well as other skills such as audio engineering, looping and DJing, are also offered. Additionally, the studio provides rehearsal and recording space rentals. Clark, 32, of Carmel, is president of Artist Development Co., which operates as a booking agency between artists and community businesses. As an extension of ADC, he created the Artist Development Studio, designed to focus on the artists.
“What I realized is something that’s needed in the community of art is an organization that takes you from the beginning to the end,” Clark said. “Gives you goals, helps you get prepared and then sets you free to go out and get those opportunities in high school, middle school and in the professional marketplace.”
Clark saw the need for a place that appeals to younger artists as well as more advanced performers who want to improve. His solution was a space that could meet the needs of the artists at their skill level and help them grow.
“Blair is a creative force and visionary with an ability to bring together and showcase talents,” said Joseph Filipow, a local musician, DJ and entertainer who has worked with Clark for several years. Coaches work with artists to identify
long- and short-term goals.
“From the beginning to adult, sometimes the career is just, ‘I’m going to high school (and) I want to get the leads in the musicals,’ and we want to help them with those goals, as well as the ones who decide after college or after high school, ‘I want to be a professional artist,’” Clark said.
Additionally, coaches work with individuals who are interested in the nonperformance, business-side of the industry, as well as prepare artists for the professional environment.
“In the music business, you have to know a lot of different things that have nothing to do with the actual music,” Clark said.
The space has state-of-the-art equipment sourced locally through Piano Solu-
tions. It also has rehearsal rooms with 10- to 20-foot-high ceilings, double-glass doors and drapes for privacy. ADS has collaborated with local artists in the community to feature local artworks.
ADS has hired Indianapolis-based company Vertical Studios, a hands-on marketing educational program, to assist in getting the word out about the unique services ADS provides.
Lessons are offered Monday through Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with Friday and Saturday options based on instructor schedules. Rehearsal space rental dates are available online.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. Oct. 23, with the grand opening scheduled for Nov. 17 at 1 p.m.

Children’s Choir gala set
By Les Morris editorial@youarecurrent.com
The Indianapolis Children’s Choir is reaching a fundraising crescendo with a rebranded event Nov. 8 at Ritz Charles in Carmel.
FUNDRAISER
Previously called Big Fun Event, the annual fundraiser has been rechristened The Indianapolis Children’s Choir Gala. There will be more singing, more activities and two auctions. There also is an increase in expectations. Last year, $49,000 was raised. The goal this year is $65,000.
including caroling at the cocktail hour and multiple times during dinner. Bids will be taken from an auctioneer to bring the choir back for an encore in a finale called “Call for the Choir.”
Speaking of auctions, there will be a silent and live auction at the gala. The highlight of the live auction is a jersey signed by Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark and a week’s stay at a home on Lake Michigan.
“This is the first time we are officially calling this our ‘gala’ to let our supporters know to expect a very nice evening,” said Joshua Pedde, ICC’s executive artistic director and a Carmel resident. “Plus, the vintage holiday theme this year ties into our concert season as singers prepare to present ‘A Vintage Holiday’ concerts in December.”
Guests will hear choir voices of approximately 100 singers throughout the evening,
The night also will include a holiday photo booth, an audio guest book where attendees can use a rotary phone to leave a message about the ICC, and a signature mocktail, the Holiday Sparkle.
The Indianapolis Children’s Choir Gala is open to the public and will run from 6 to 10 p.m. at Ritz Charles, 12156 N. Meridian St. in Carmel. Individual tickets are $125 and include hors d’oeuvres, dinner, beer and wine and the musical programming. Tables of eight are available for $1,000. The deadline to purchase a ticket or table is Oct. 24. Sponsorship opportunities are available. For more, visit iccchoir.org/gala.
Blues guitarist books Palladium
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
British blues singer-songwriter Joanne Shaw Taylor finds herself in a prolific period.
CONCERT
“Since COVID and not being able to tour as long as we were, it feels good to be creative,” Taylor said. “It’s one of those magical things where you get a load of ideas and you never know how long that is going to last.”
Taylor, who was born and raised in England, lived several years in Detroit before moving to Nashville, Tenn.
Taylor will perform at 8 p.m. Oct. 23 at the Palladium at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Taylor, 39, said getting older has likely helped her improve as a songwriter.
“It’s getting more comfortable with yourself,” she said. “I always suffered from anxiety attacks and depression, and I did a lot of work on that and got myself in a lot better frame of mind. Those things combined got me into a good place where I’m thankful for what I do, and I really enjoy myself. It’s a lucky thing to be able to love what you do for a living.”
Taylor released a single “All The Things I Said” from a yet-to-be-released album earlier this month. She previously released “Black and Gold,” which is the title track of an album due out in 2025. Her 2024 album, “Heavy Soul,” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Album chart. Taylor was inspired by listening to renowned blues guitarists.
“Growing up, I was obsessed with blues guitar,” said Taylor, who was discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics when she was 16. “I think I would have been a different artist if I had been born a man because of all my idols on guitar. I could try to copy Albert Collins or B.B. King, but when I was teaching myself to sing, I knew I would never be able to sound like them. So, I had to find female voices to imitate and learn from them, and most of them were outside the blues, like Tina Turner and Mavis Staples.” For more, visit joanneshawtaylor.com.

GHDT presents ‘Autumn Nights’
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
For Gregory Hancock, travel is essential for learning and inspiration.
MUSICAL
Hancock, executive director of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, spent time this summer in Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. In Latvia, he visited the Salaspils Memorial, site of a former Nazi concentration camp and prison from 1941 to 1945. Now, it is a memorial commemorating the lives lost at the prison.
Hancock had visited Latvia numerous times but had not been to Salaspils.
“When I entered the memorial grounds, inspiration arrived so quickly,” he said. “The seven large concrete statues that depict the different prisoners in the camp had a brutalist, yet very emotional, feel. I immediately saw a dance piece in my mind where the statues would tell the stories of this place.”
The result is “Beyond These Gates The Land Groans,” which will open GHDT’s “Autumn Nights” Oct. 25-26 at The Tarkington at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The second half of the show will be reprisals of “The Seven Deadly Sins” and “The Visit.”
Hancock said the memorial was a fascinating place and there were no signs describing anything.
“It is designed to elicit an emotional response from visitors that can be very personal,” Hancock said. “I have designed the piece in the same way. Even though the dancers have a character and a story, I have left the interpretation up to the viewer. I was at the memorial grounds in late July and began to construct the piece at that time. For this performance, the dancers have worked about 6 1/2 weeks on
the piece. Inspiration often comes unexpectedly and from interesting experiences. Often, pieces are very clear in my mind immediately, but other times it becomes a gradual process.”
Hancock said the soundtrack for the piece is the sound of a human heart beating and nothing else until a 2-minute violin solo at the end.
“My choreography is usually extremely music-driven,” he said. “To not have music but just the sound of a heartbeat was a wonderful new way for me to create where the movement was not dictated by the music, but the story, emotions and individual strengths of each dancer. This way of working provided me with a new artistic freedom, where the movement remained extremely organic.”
“The Seven Deadly Sins” was previously performed in 2019 and “The Visit” was presented in 2009.

Excuse my grammar
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
My proofreader, Heidi, quit about a year ago. Just as well. I was going to dump her, anyway. She kept correcting me. Who needs that? Then my wife, Mary Ellen, took over the job. That was an easy transition for her; she has been correcting me for 45 years. She is now my corrections officer.
HUMOR
Mary Ellen does a good job editing, but I downloaded an app called Grammarly as a backup in case Mary Ellen was out of town, or out of sorts. Grammarly is a form of AI. The program suggests different ways to improve my sentences when I write a column. I can accept its suggestion or dismiss it. Being a dismissive person by nature, I only occasionally take its advice. I also can yell at the screen without getting any backtalk, a luxury I didn’t enjoy with Heidi — or now with Mary Ellen.
Each month, I receive an analysis of my writing from the previous four weeks. My work is evaluated in several ways. For example, here’s what it told me for September.
It said I used 9,879 different words, even though my weekly column is only 500 words. I have no clue where that number came from. Then it said I didn’t use enough unique words. I wasn’t going to take that writing down (I mean, lying down), so I emailed the company.
Dear Grammar People:
The juxtaposition of ontological paradigms often precipitates a plethora of dialectical conundrums in the realm of epistemological and writing inquiry.
I sure told them. I just don’t know what I told them.
It also identified 743 errors. This is obviously another mistake — unless it had access to all my old seventh-grade book reports?
Also, I was informed that I did not use the question mark correctly. Do they think
Mary Ellen does a good job editing, but I downloaded an app called Grammarly as a backup in case Mary Ellen was out of town, or out of sorts.
– DICK WOLFSIE
I am stupid. I hope not?
The app did state that I was more productive than 78 percent of its users. How could that be? Like I said, I only write 500 words a week. What are these other people doing with this app? Name tags for their kids?
It commented that my writing was spreading joy. I knew I was spreading something, but this was a total surprise. The program also scans the internet to see if I have been plagiarized. So far, no one has been that desperate, but (true story here) about 10 years ago, I inadvertently learned that someone was stealing my column for a newspaper out in Minnesota. The only thing the reporter changed was substituting his wife’s name for Mary Ellen’s. When I called the publisher to report this, he fired the guy and told the readers it was no big deal because, “The guy wasn’t that funny, anyway.”
Finally, Grammarly informed me that, “Your area of focus for next week is clarity.” OK, how’s this? Cancel my subscription. I hope that’s clear enough.
