City explores redevelopment of former tire plant

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com

The city of Noblesville is looking at redeveloping a former Firestone tire plant property that closed more than a decade ago, although it remains unclear what will go there.

GOVERNMENT

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations LLC, based in Nashville, recently donated most of the property at 1700 Division St. to the city. Bridgestone formerly operated a rubber products manufacturing facility at the site from 1936 to 2009.

The site has been vacant since 2009, when the company ceased operations in Noblesville. Since that time, there have been extensive negotiations about the city acquiring the site, Noblesville Deputy Mayor Matt Light said.

Light told the Noblesville Common Council in December that municipal or nonprofit buildings could be built on the site, although he stressed that no final decisions have been made regarding any proposed redevelopment.

“We’ve contemplated various things,” Light said. “I’ve had discussions with departments and other stakeholders, but the mayor’s directive to me and the team was to first work on acquiring the site on fair terms and then we can have real conversations with stakeholders about what the future would look like.”

The redevelopment of the site marks the city’s third attempt to bring new life to the property after former Mayor John Ditslear announced plans for a dog park in 2014 that

never came to fruition. In 2017, city officials also looked at the Bridgestone property for a new police headquarters that never materialized.

Bridgestone previously worked with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to clean up contamination, including industrial chemical compounds of PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, and other pollutants, on the property. Light told the council that there has been “extensive environmental analysis” at the site, noting that city officials are “confident in the safety of the site for use going forward.”

The city of Noblesville hopes to redevelop a former Firestone tire plant property that closed in 2009. The city will look to take possession of the area in orange as depicted in the map, while the blue shaded area that contains the highest levels of contamination will remain under Firestone’s control.

Noblesville

said the city won’t take possession of the areas that have significant levels of contamination, noting that the most contaminated areas will remain under Firestone’s control.

“There will be ongoing remediation efforts needed for these areas, and the city did not want to take on that responsibility, liability,” Smith said. “The studies by EPA, the city and outside experts show that there are not burdensome environmental issues with the areas of the site the city will take control of.”

sionals and new businesses to Noblesville. Elliott said he will look to lend his years of real estate experience to the city’s contract negotiations, build proposals and planned infrastructure if elected. He has a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University, a certificate in negotiation mastery from Harvard Business School and holds an Indiana managing broker license. Elliott, who campaigned for a seat on the Noblesville School Board in 2020, continues to serve as a volunteer assistant director for the NHS Thespian Troupe and is a previous director of speech and debate at NHS.

He is a past co-chair of the Noblesville GOP and past secretary of the Noblesville

Cultural Arts Commission. He serves as chairman of the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors PAC, which endorses local candidates who value fair housing practices, responsible community growth, and a path to homeownership.

Elliott is the second candidate to announce a campaign for an at-large seat on the council. Noblesville Common Councilman Darren Peterson, who was first elected in 2018 to serve a remainder of a council term and was later reelected, announced in November that he was seeking another term for an at-large seat.

Three common council members seek reelection

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com

Three members on the Noblesville Common Council have announced plans to run for another term. Megan Wiles, who represents District 6, and Mike Davis, who represents District 1, are running for reelection. A third councilman, Mark Boice, plans to file for the District 4 seat and currently holds an at-large seat.

the administration to lead Noblesville into the future,” Wiles said. “As Noblesville continues to grow, we must be ready to invest in our infrastructure and ensure we are providing the appropriate public safety for all residents”.

GOVERNMENT

Wiles, who serves as council president, said as a longtime resident of Noblesville, she is dedicated to seeing the history of the community and authentic downtown preserved while recognizing the need to embrace growth. She is the executive director of the Riverview Health Foundation and was appointed by Mayor Chris Jensen as co-chair for Noblesville’s Bicentennial Committee, along with Bret Richardson.

“This is such an exciting time for the city of Noblesville. I am honored to serve on the Noblesville Common Council working with other dedicated council members and

She added that she is proud of the council’s work, noting that it has dedicated resources to implement significant plans for the future of Noblesville.”

“I believe it’s important that we have experienced council members working with Mayor Jensen to make sure the progress we have made in the last few years continues in a fiscally responsible manner. This is an exciting time to help lead our city forward and I am dedicated to serving the residents of the 6th District and all of Noblesville,” she said.

Meanwhile, Davis said he looks forward to continuing his service on the council because of his love for the city.

“I want to continue giving back and building on the accomplishments of the last few years,” Davis said. “Every day, I count my blessings and I’m thankful to live in one of America’s greatest cities.”

Davis said he plans to continue his focus on Noblesville’s growth by making public safety the top priority in schools, neighborhoods, parks, downtown and throughout the city. Additionally, he said he plans to build a brighter future “by making sound financial decisions, proactive and proper planning and respecting the past while making decisions for a successful city.”

Boice, who began serving his fourth term on the council in January 2020, said he is honored to serve Noblesville and to help continue making it the best community to live, work and raise a family.

“There is a better opportunity to work with and help the community on a local level as a district representative. I would love to return to that level of serving for the next four years,” he said.

Boice said he would like to continue using his knowledge gained as an employee with Chrysler and his experiences running a local business to help the city’s economic development department attract and retain businesses.

“Local businesses bring new job growth, help lower taxes and bring additional funding to Noblesville,” he said.

Senior forward’s improvement boosts WHS basketball team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Westfield High School senior forward Alex Romack has continued making advances on the basketball court.

Shamrocks coach Shane Sumpter said Romack began picking up his game last season during the Hall of Fame Classic Dec. 30, 2021. At that time, when Braden Smith, now a Purdue University freshman starter, was sidelined for several games with an injury, Romack picked up his scoring.

“The first game Braden was out I think Alex had 24 points,” Sumpter said. “He brings a unique skill set to the table.”

The 6-foot-6 Romack was averaging 15.3 points on 49 percent shooting from the field and 10.3 rebounds for the Shamrocks prior to their Jan. 3 game.

“I definitely have worked on my shot a lot,” he said. “I’m trying to get better at creating offense for other players.”

Favorite athlete: Tom Brady

Favorite TV show: “The Office.”

Hobbies: Going to pool in summer, hanging out with friends

Romack said he has improved his strength, which is helping with his rebounding.

“We have a good weight training program,” he said.

Romack averaged 13.1 points and 7.0 rebounds as a junior.

Sumpter said Romack has continued to improve his quickness.

After missing his only 3-point shot last season, Romack has made 2 of 7 from 3-point range this season.

“He’s definitely a threat from the perimeter now,” Sumpter said. “His free throw shooting is a lot better, especially toward the end of the game.”

Romack, who was shooting 68 percent from the free throw line, said he wants to improve that percentage as the season goes on.

The Shamrocks won their first boys basketball state title last season with Indiana Mr. Basketball winner Smith leading the way. Despite losing Smith, Westfield was 7-1 in its first eight games this season.

“I think we do a really good job playing as a team,” Romack said. “No one on our team wants all the credit. We have really good chemistry, and everyone plays hard. It helps that everyone understands what they need to do, especially in big moments. That’s been part of our success.”

Sumpter said Romack is drawing interest from NCAA Division II schools and NAIA schools. Romack said he definitely wants to play in college and is considering pursuing a degree toward medical school.

Romack played baseball until high school and made the decision to focus on basketball.

The leader of Hamilton County’s highway department has seen his fair share of winter weather over the years, but noted that preparation, manpower and communication with other entities are important factors that help clear area roadways.

Hamilton County Highway Dept. Director Brad Davis said the county begins its pre-planning process for the winter at the end of the previous winter season.

“Winter operations are taken very seriously and is nearly a yearlong process,” Davis said. “As soon as winter ends, preparations are being made for the next winter.”

The pre-planning process involves taking stock of the county’s inventory and working with municipalities to order salt they may need on their behalf, Davis said. In the fall, county officials also assess their equipment to ensure that it is in working order and to make any necessary repairs, he added.

“We make sure that anything that looks like it might break gets fixed or replaced,” Davis said.

In addition, the county works closely with the Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency regarding weather conditions, Davis said.

County workers also review their snow routes, while a boost in manpower is also an important factor in dealing with winter weather, according to Davis. The county has two crews of 10 people, and will hire five to 10 additional drivers to supplement its workforce, if needed.

The county’s salt storage barn, which had nearly 4,500 tons of treated salt last month, was used to treat almost 1,200 lane miles of roadway and bridges in the unincorporated areas of the county. The county uses a salt brine solution on the roadways ahead of a storm to prevent snow and ice from bonding to the pavement and to allow for a much easier post-storm cleanup.

“We’re always preparing for the worst and hoping for the best,” Davis said. “That includes inspecting all our equipment and repairing anything now to avoid breakdowns later.”

The county’s fleet of equipment includes 14 snow trucks, two brine application trucks and nine pickup trucks with plows. Davis said the county’s salt supply is in good shape and doesn’t anticipate having to purchase more.

Randy Gasho, a truck driver with Hamilton County, said preparation is important in his role clearing the roads. Gasho, who has been with the county for almost 25 years, said paying attention to everything around him when driving in the winter is a key factor.

Gasho said he doesn’t let stress get to him, noting that there’s not much that can be done when faced with poor

weather conditions.

“You’re not going to beat the snow, you just hang with it until it’s over,” he said. “You’re not going to do anything to make it quit snowing, to make it warm up. You just hang with it until it’s over.”

Although it is unclear whether central Indiana will get hit with another round of severe winter weather this season, Davis encourages motorists to use common sense on the roads by being aware, slowing down and being careful while driving.

Gasho also noted that if people don’t need to be out, they shouldn’t be.

“Who needs to be out there other than us?” he said.

ESSAY

Lines of communication

Commentary by Terry Anker

We interact with tons of communication shorthand. We make faces at each other to express myriad emotions, from distrust to sorrow. We pantomime, point and gesture to direct our wishes to those around us. And we use all manner of language conventions to get our points across. We opine, “That dog won’t hunt.” Or demand some time to “get a little shut-eye.” With most of us, we figure out the gist.

Like all linguistic and social conventions, older generations teach the youngsters both meaning and intent. Sure, the up-and-comers like to twist the expressions into their own understanding. But for the most part, we all come to accept that a “thumbs-up” is a good thing.

In a recent conversation, the discussion evolved into an assessment of the space between helping someone and doing their work for them. “It is a distinction without a difference,” one asserted. Looking puzzled, another member of the roundtable asked, “What the heck does that mean?” Shorthand only works where everyone knows the code.

It is a common fallacy to attempt to divide into two camps those things that are essentially identical. Parents of small children know the concept when youngsters will argue over possession of two indistinguishable items — something like, “Eat your own apple and let your sister eat hers.”

Demanding the action of another suggests the authority to do so. No payback is required. But if we are asked to help, what exchange is suggested? Help seems collaborative. A demand does not. If we end up doing someone else’s work, is the polite veneer enough to create a distinction with a difference?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

A very puzzling time

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Friends, I have officially contracted puzzle mania. This time of year always triggers me with its incessant ugly weather and kids still home from college (just go back already, for the love of a mom’s sanity!). And, since I can’t escape physically to Tahiti right now, I take a mental vacation with jigsaws. Far less exotic and rum soaked, true, but much more accessible.

Who cares if I spend 48 hours hunkered down over a 1,000-piece replication of rural Kentucky? Not me, though my aching shoulders beg to differ. And so, what if my eyes feel a bit crossed from examining no less than 50 shades of green to find the exact one that depicts a Lexington horse pasture?

What a thrill when I finally get it! And maybe instead of cooking dinner, I lob meal suggestions like expletives at my aforementioned young-adult moochers: “Microwave! DiGiorgno! HelloFresh!” I’m teaching independent living.

The point is, when I’m working a puzzle, I’m in the groove. I’m engaged, challenged, and most important, distracted from the tedious responsibilities of marriage and motherhood. At the end of the day, or weekend in my case, I have created something. Admittedly, it’s not as productive as writing my Christmas letter (I’m currently shooting for a Valentine’s mailing), but I do experience a sense of accomplishment.

Spot-on dinner apparel

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

“Why not?”

“It has a smudge under the second button.”

HUMOR

Next month, Mary Ellen and I will take our first vacation out of the U.S. since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re excited about this cruise. I had to buy a dress shirt for one of the special dinners on the ship. I don’t like to wear a white shirt, but Mary Ellen was adamant that I go traditional. I purchased an additional shirt for the more casual nights.

I came home with the two shirts. I opened the package and tried the white one on. It fit perfectly. My wife was in the room watching me with a smirk on her face.

Sure enough, once again I had purchased a brand-new piece of apparel that had somehow anticipated its unavoidable destiny and went ahead and self-stained.

“Wait a second, Mary Ellen. I’ll wear a tie. That will cover it.”

“Super idea. Too bad that every tie in your closet has ketchup on it.”

I came home with the two shirts. I opened the package and tried the white one on. It fit perfectly. My wife was in the room watching me with a smirk on her face.

“You have a stain on your shirt already,” she said.

“That’s impossible. I just put it on.”

“They must really know their customers at Kohl’s.”

“What do you mean?”

“They pre-stained it for you.”

Yes, right next to the third button were brown blotches, nothing I was familiar with despite my extensive experience with the tell-tale signs left by every condiment I have ever slathered on a fast-food sandwich.

“I guess I can’t wear that to dinner,” I said as I was about to unpack my second option.

“Why not?” she asked. “It’s gonna look like that, anyway, right after you finish your appetizer.”

I reached for the blue button-down, carefully removing all the pins from the folded shirt before I put it on. I thought it looked great and said to Mary Ellen, “As long as I’ve got it on, let’s go out for a nice dinner.”

“You can’t wear that shirt, either,” she said.

“OK, I’ll button my sport coat. That will cover the mark on the tie.”

Mary Ellen walked over to the closet and pulled out the one sport coat I still wear. She looked at it carefully and shook her head.

– DICK WOLFSIE

“This is not going to work. It has mustard on the lapel. Do you own a raincoat?”

After we returned home from dinner, I washed both shirts and successfully removed the original soiled areas, but the shirts were destined on the trip to be become a kaleidoscope of tasty tidbits from our buffets.

Recently, we were going over final plans for the vacation, and I asked Mary Ellen questions about the reputation of the cruise line we were using.

“Do you really think I will like the food, Mary Ellen?”

“Oh, yes. For you, Dick, it will be spot on.”

Local man launches electrical contracting business

By Rebecca Fending rebecca@youarecurrent.com

Trevor Agre moved to Cicero from Southern California in 2021 with a dream of owning a business. In June of this year, that dream came true.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Agre is a licensed electrician who owns and manages A5 Electric, a residential and commercial electrical contracting business based in Cicero that provides services to the greater area of central Indiana.

Agre has been in the industry for 21 years and used his experience to create his own company.

“I was born and raised in Southern California,” Agre said. “My family and I moved to Cicero because we saw opportunities here that we didn’t have in California. While working in construction as a laborer, I saw the benefits of a skilled tradesman and decided being an electrician was a great fit for me. So, I joined the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) and did a five-year apprenticeship in Los Angeles.”

A5 Electric, named for Agre’s family of five, offers services from full-service upgrades, whole home re-wires, outlet upgrades and light fixture installations. If it needs electricity, Agre said, A5 Electric can install or fix it.

Agre became a journeyman electrician in 2009. From there, he “worked (his) way up” through the management side of the trade to become a general foreman. Agre oversaw projects with a budget of $500,000 to $15 million in electrical work. He said those projects prepared him to operate his own electrical contractor business.

A5 Electric officially started business in late June 2022. Agre set out to specialize in

residential, commercial and tenant improvement construction. So far, Agre said business is going well thanks to the support of the community.

“Business is doing very well,” Agre said. “I never expected to have the support of my community as fast as I have earned it, but I pride myself on quality installation and practices. I feel that has a lot to do with my success.”

Agre looks forward to what the future holds for A5 Electric. His biggest wish, he said, is to grow his team.

“I hope to keep growing my business to the point where I have several employees,” Agre said. “I want to help train up future generations in the construction and electrical trade. As this is a family business, I hope to hand over the company to my three boys when they are old enough.”

For more about A5 Electric, call 317-982-1587.

DISPATCHES

Great stocks for under $10 — Many investors have never heard of these companies because they all have stock prices lingering near or under $10 a share despite compelling potential for growth. But stock-picking expert Hilary Kramer thinks this makes them among the best bargains now in a pricey stock market. Here are 10 of Kramer’s favorite low-priced stocks:

• ACCO Brands (ACCO). This company’s iconic office-and-school-supply brands

include Swingline staplers, Recent share price: $8.09.

• Amneal Pharmaceuticals (AMRX) manufactures more than 250 generic drugs that treat everything from headaches to osteoporosis. Recent share price: $4.81.

• Annaly Capital Management (NLY) occupies an unusual and profitable niche in the real estate industry. Recent share price: $8.12.

Last year saw a continuation of trends the pandemic exacerbated in Hamilton County, particularly in the realm of workforce development. Opportunities for employment abound with more than 50,000 unique positions posted by local employers at a median advertised salary of $19.26/hour (12% greater than December 2019). Some sectors are finding it easier to hire while most are simply re-allocating responsibilities internally. The peaks and valleys of seasonal hiring have gotten smaller as everyone looks to capitalize on a period of opportunity while retaining a limited pool of talent. The county’s labor force participation was as high as 70.2%, with unemployment as low as 1.6%.

Mike Thibideau President & CEO

Invest Hamilton County has been working with local leaders that are seizing this moment to drive transformational change in our community and adapt to this new normal. In 2021, the Hamilton County Council and Hamilton County Commissioners provided seed funding for the establishment of a Career and Technical Education (CTE) District in the county. In 2022, that project, now named the Pursuit Institute, guided by the six district superintendents, raised more than $3 million for school programming, received certification from the State of Indiana as a CTE District, and was joined by all six school boards. Programming is live for the 2023-2024 school year and is included in District course catalogs.

In 2022, Invest also launched a skills-based career explorer, SkillFit Hamilton County, that pulls in positions from every major job board to one centralized location and expands the opportunities available to people looking for work in Hamilton County. We opened innovative pilots in reentry and disability employment, worked with the county to attract more than $9 Million in broadband investment and the Hamilton County Leadership Academy to launch a new community ambassador program.

As local employers work to fill positions, Invest looks to drive innovative solutions to those talent challenges that also produce resiliency during times of economic turmoil. We always have more room on our HR Advisory Council and would love to help any organization in the community address its challenges. If you are a local business or nonprofit, please do not hesitate to reach out. There’s even more to come in this year.

Tips to prevent cervical cancer

Commentary by Jayde Wall

Did you know that more than 14,000 women are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer each year?

WHO SHOULD BE SCREENED FOR CERVICAL CANCER?

AWARENESS

Cervical cancer is a gynecologic cancer of the female reproductive tract, specifically the cervix. January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, so I’d like to share some tips on how to prevent it and information on screenings.

WHAT IS CERVICAL CANCER?

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Typically, cervical cancer occurs most often in women over age 30. Long-lasting infections of human papillomavirus will cause cervical cancer. At least half of sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives, but few of them will get cervical cancer.

HOW CAN YOU PREVENT CERVICAL CANCER?

The first thing you can do to protect yourself from cervical cancer is to get the HPV vaccine. You can get the vaccine starting as early as age 9, but it is recommended for preteens ages 11 and 12. The HPV vaccine is also recommended for adults through age 26 if they are not vaccinated. It is also not recommended for everyone older than 26. Some other tips to prevent cervical cancer are to use a condom during sex so you do not contract HPV, and to limit your number of sexual partners.

There are two different types of screening for cervical cancer. The Pap test (or Pap smear) looks for precancers, cell changes on the cervix that might become cervical cancer if they are not treated appropriately. The HPV test looks for the virus (human papillomavirus) that can cause these cell changes. Both tests can be done in a doctor’s office or a clinic. You should begin getting tested for cervical cancer at age 21.

If your pap test is normal, your doctor will tell you to come back in three years. You can continue testing that often until you are 29, but from ages 30 to 65, you can do a Pap test only, an HPV test only, or you can do both Pap and HPV tests. If you do only a Pap test, you can wait another three years until your next screening. If you do an HPV test, you can wait another five years until your next screening. If you do both Pap and HPV, you can wait another 5 years until your next screening. Getting test results can take as long as three weeks.

If you have any questions or if you or a loved one might have cervical cancer, please talk to a doctor immediately. Learn more at iuhealth.org/cancer.

DISPATCHES

Wake up faster – If you have trouble waking up in the morning, try using your shower as a stimulant. Switch the water temperature from hot to cold several times, holding each temperature for about 10 seconds. The changes in temperature can rev up your blood flow, which can help make you more alert.

Fiber to fight diabetes – New research shows that people who are willing to more than double the fiber in their diets from 16 to 37 grams per day can better control diabetes. It needs to be a high number of diverse types of fibers. Getting nearly 40 grams may sound like a tall order, but it’s actually not that hard and it could make a radical difference in your blood sugar level by increasing insulin production.

Hidden sugars – Added sugars come in many forms, so it can be hard to find on the ingredients list of your foods. There are at least 61 different forms of sugars. Some of the lesser-known sugars include agave nectar, cane juice, dextrin, malt syrup, mannose and sorghum. For the complete list of sugar names, visit sugarscience.ucsf.edu.

Helping loved ones recover – When a loved one is ill, you can help their recovery even if you have no medical training. When you talk to them, get an update and be sympathetic, but quickly shift to a positive, upbeat tone. Don’t talk about your own illnesses. Let the person know that you are looking forward to meeting for lunch, or some other outing, in the near future.

Civic’s ‘Ghost Light Cabaret’ set for Feinstein’s

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

A ghost light is a single light bulb left burning on stage whenever a theater is dark.

‘CLUE’

“Clue” performances run through Feb. 5 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

‘A

CONVERSATION WITH BONEY JAMES’

FUNDRAISER

It is there for safety, but tradition has it that the ghost light keeps burning to keep the theater happy and healthy.

Thus, Civic Theatre officials figure a “Ghost Light Cabaret” is a perfect fundraiser to help keep all its lights burning brightly.

There will be two performances of “Ghost Light Cabaret” at 6 and 8:30 p.m. Jan. 26 at Feinstein’s Cabaret at the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel. The performances will include highlights of Civic’s previous seasons since moving in 2011 to the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel

“We’ll have some of our most wellknown performers doing some highlight numbers that people know from those shows,” Civic Theatre Executive Artistic Director Michael J. Lasley said.

The first “Ghost Light Cabaret” was a virtual presentation from The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts, serving as a fundraiser in October 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It was successful from a virtual standpoint, and we tried to figure out the best way to do it in person, but we got the idea to work with Feinstein’s,” Lasley said. “They’ve been great at working with us on timing.”

Lasley said it’s a different format from the regular productions.

“We’ve done the same format in our virtual shows (as) in 2020 and 2021,” Lasley said. “This is our first time trying to do it live. I think it will be a fun thing for our performers and our patrons. It’s a different style and presentation than they are used to seeing.”

There has been only one previous presentation of “Ghost Light Cabaret.” Civic Theatre held “Holiday Lights,” which was a similar format, in December 2020. In the spring of 2021, Civic Theatre presented “Light on the Horizon,” which had limited in-person seating with a virtual option.

Zionsville resident Mikayla Koharchik, who performed in Civic Theatre’s “Ghost Light Cabaret” in 2020, will return in the Jan. 26 performances.

Lasley said there is an opening and closing number when all performers are on stage.

“But it’s a pretty small stage, so there’s not a lot of room for staging or choreography,” Lasley said. “There will be solo performers and duets with maybe two to three people backing them.”

Lasley said 30 Junior Civic company performers will perform, with half doing the first show and the other half doing the second show.

“Right now, we have 14 songs that we have cherry picked from our shows,” Lasley said. “We will talk about other shows in between. We have a tried-and-true format we’ve always done. Cabaret allows us to put some twists on things. Some of these pieces will be almost like you saw them in the shows, and some we will sort of mix it up a little bit. Some will be a little more imaginative since it’s a small space

where you can do all the flashy dance and scenery.”

Most of the Civic shows are in The Tarkington, which seats 500.

“This will be a more intimate, close-up view of these performers and the performance itself,” Lasley said. “It’s our hope this will be successful, and it will be an annual fundraiser for us, and we’ll work with Feinstein’s to find a similar date each year. We’ll work to find different themes. We might try a particular musical genre, or we might try a particular composer’s musicals.”

There is seating for 110 at each performance at Feinstein’s.

Lasley said there will be five or six karaoke standards. The highest bidder will get to choose the song and perform it live on stage. The list includes “Sweet Caroline,” “Tomorrow,” “Summer Nights,” “Over the Rainbow,” “Do-Re-Mi” and “Dancing Queen.”

“This is a new idea and I hope it works,” Lasley said.

The karaoke session will be led by Brent E. Marty, Civic Theatre’s director of music and education.

“We loosely refer to this as ‘Marty-oke’ as opposed to karaoke,” Lasley said. “It’s come from a lot of times Brent will go to the theater after-party and he’ll have a box of music where people can pick things out and he’ll play and sing.”

There will be a wine pull and a gift card pull.

‘THE NASHVILLE SONGBOOK’

Mandy Barnett will celebrate “The Nashville Songbook” with performances at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 13-14 at Feinstein’s Cabaret at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel. For more, visit feinsteinshc.com.

Carmel PorchFest begins grant program

Rian Johnson wants you to know something: “Glass Onion” is not a sequel to “Knives Out,” the 2019 box office success that won over audiences and critics alike. Johnson, the film’s writer and director, intended this to be a self-contained story, not another chapter in the whodunit series. You’ll be disappointed if you’re expecting a follow-up movie. The film’s protagonist is the only thing the two stories have in common.

This time, Detective Benoit Blanc trades his stylish suits and spectacles for resort wear and sunscreen after receiving a puzzling invite to an exclusive murder-mystery party in the Greek islands. Blanc arrives on the island and mingles with the other invitees, learning they all have personal ties to the party’s host, Miles (Edward Norton), an eccentric tech mogul with expensive hobbies and priceless home décor. But sport turns to tragedy when a real crime shatters the party’s festivities. As their backstories unfold, everyone becomes a suspect.

Janell Monae is the film’s superstar with a spectacular performance as Andi, a former

GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY

business partner of Miles, whose arrival on the island takes everyone by surprise. Andi and Blanc partner together, peeling away the layers of façade surrounding those who have the motive to lie and perhaps even kill.

Daniel Craig’s portrayal of Detective Blanc lacks the cadence and grace of his performance in “Knives Out.” With his best Foghorn Leghorn impression, he delivers some of the film’s funniest lines and moments.

Johnson struggles to find a rhythm between exposition and conflict, rushing through the plot at a dizzying pace. Still, it’s fun trying to keep up with the film’s surprising twists.

It is now streaming on Netflix.

Tony Award winner to have role in Discovering Broadway concert

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Discovering Broadway’s concert of “Five Points” will feature a Tony Award winner along with a very familiar face.

Jessie Mueller, who won the 2014 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for her performance as Carole King in “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” will perform with Carmel resident Josh Kaufman, the winner of the sixth season of “The Voice.” Mueller will sing the role of Rona while Kaufman portrays P.T. Barnum.

The concert is set for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 at Madame Walker Legacy Center in Indianapolis.

A writers’ retreat, hosted by Discovering Broadway, was held in Carmel for “Five Points” in October 2022. The concert is the

next step in moving the musical toward a Broadway production.

“‘Five Points’ is a special story of two men from different cultures fighting for the same American dream in a divided country after the Civil War,” Discovering Broadway chief executive officer and founder Joel Kirk said. “It explores race, fatherhood, and the art made in cultural tension. This is a world-class cast and creative team.”

The concert also features David Owens, who graduated with Kirk from Carmel High School in 2012. Kirk and Owens were in the Ambassadors, the school’s mixed show choir.

“We taught theater classes together and even wrote a musical together,” Kirk said. “In 2015, David interned at Madison Square Garden while I interned at a theater company in Manhattan. A few years later, David was on NBC’s ‘The Voice‘ on Kelly Clarkson’s team. The authors of ‘Five Points’ saw David’s per-

formance on ‘The Voice,’ and when we began casting local Hoosiers, they asked him to audition for Cornelius. It is surreal to collaborate with a friend you have known for 12 years.

“I cannot wait for people to hear David sing this gorgeous music in February.”

Kirk said the concert will be special for several reasons.

“We have actors flying out from New York City and Los Angeles, writers traveling from Minneapolis and Brooklyn, local actors rehearsing in town, and the drummer is flying from Los Angeles,” Kirk said. “Multiple rehearsals will be going on simultaneously in different cities as we have local professional actors and cast members based in New York City.

“What I love about Discovering Broadway is it honors the traditions of Indiana. We are the Crossroads of America, a hospitable place where artists from all over the world can gather and create something special.”

CYT Indianapolis to become The Point Theater

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Christian Youth Theater Indianapolis will now be known as The Point Theater.

The local children’s theater program, which serves ages 4 to 18, decided not to renew its license with the national CYT organization when the three-year contract ended Jan. 1. It had been a CYT franchise for 13 years.

“The name comes from at the end of every show we do, all of the students point up to heaven to give God the glory,” said Laura Baltz, board member and artistic director. “It’s a really important part of our process.”

Baltz, a Carmel resident, said CYT members won’t notice much difference, with the biggest changes being the website and the name.

“The franchise cost quite a bit of money,” Baltz said. “Several years back, we stopped using their model. They had a model of weekly classes where we were required to have classes every week.”

Baltz said students were required to at-

tend nightly weekday classes for 10 weeks, and most students just didn’t have the time, she said.

“Our attendance was falling,” Baltz said. “We started doing workshops that are a 90-minute, one-time workshop where you get training on improv, vocals or cold reading. We held those on different nights throughout the week or Sunday afternoon.

“We found that was much better for the kids because they could choose the model they wanted to go to.”

Baltz said the organization hadn’t been using the CYT curriculum. She said the instructors they use like to teach what they developed themselves.

“To be honest, the only thing we were using was the website, the name and the logo,” Baltz said.

Baltz said the cost was between $1,200 and $1,800 a month, along with a percentage of ticket sales.

“CYT has been great. They have been so wonderful to us,” Baltz said. “We love CYT. We are grateful for what they have given us. They gave us our start. They supported us during the pandemic, lowering our monthly

rate. Unfortunately, it’s time for the sake of our students so we can do other things. We want to develop some good programming for the students on the autism spectrum, and that wasn’t part of their programming.

“It gives us a chance to diversify and use that money a little more wisely in a way that benefits our students.”

The first show under The Point Theater will be “Legally Blonde Jr.,” running Feb. 3-5 at Marian University in Indianapolis.

Zionsville Community High School junior Margaret Williamson has been attending CYT classes since she was 6 and has been doing shows since 2014.

“I think that this will be a fantastic transition,” Williamson said. “I think The Point will offer so many opportunities they haven’t been able to offer before. I think it’s good we get to hold the traditions that I hold near and dear to my heart. We always say ‘Crowns for Jesus, sing for the king’ after we pray. It was a tradition like that I was afraid would go away, but I found out we would still be able to do that.

“I think that’s one example of a tradition we are able to keep, along with new things being introduced.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Timeless kitchen upgrade in Cicero

After

Built in 2003 in Cicero’s Bear Slide neighborhood, this home’s kitchen had good bones but needed a modernized facelift. Our team got to work, infusing the space with light, dimension and timeless style.

THE BLUEPRINT

• A new custom range hood was installed, serving as the room’s focal point while adding a touch of elegance.

• White perimeter cabinets and a white herringbone backsplash brighten the room, while the gray tone on the island adds a layer of dimension and depth.

• Crown molding additions on the upper cabinets and carved legs on the kitchen island elevate the space while incorporating traditional design and style.

• Chrome faucet and cabinet hardware finishes add a touch of luster and elegance with classic appeal.

• A dual mount double-basin sink, faucet with magnetic pull-down sprayer and integrated soap dispenser add functionality to the space and make clean-up a breeze.

It’s not as bad as it sounds

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

I’ve been accused of acting my shoe size more times than I can count. I’m OK with that. Why is that you ask? Kids have way more fun. If we take ourselves too seriously, we’ll turn into gargoyles — stiffly observing the world around us from our lofty perches. No thanks.

GRAMMAR GUY

With that in mind, here are some words I’ve collected that only sound bad — they’re actually completely innocent words (I promise!).

Let’s start with the word you know about: masticate. All masticate means is to chew. There’s no need to have your mind in the gutter when someone utters “masticate.”

Have you ever seen an aholehole? Before you ask me if I kiss my mother with that mouth, let me assure you that an aholehole can be found swimming around the Hawaiian Islands. In fact, an aholehole is a species of flagtail fish. Aholeholes are silver and have big tails that kind of look like flags.

Speaking of fish, have you ever heard of a lumpsucker? Don’t worry, you don’t have to shield your children’s eyes. In fact, a lumpsucker is another name for a lumpfish. These fish, which come in a few lumpy, frumpy varieties, can be found in an ocean near you. Fun fact: lumpsuckers have pelvic fins that act as suction discs, allowing them to attach themselves to other objects.

While those words were admittedly fishy, the next word will make you blush. In fact, it may replace “moist” as your new least-favorite word. The word is “invagination.”

Before you cancel your subscription, let me assure you that “invagination” is the act of putting a sword into its sheath. When you “invaginate” something, you put an object into a sheath or pocket. Don’t look at me — I didn’t make it up.

Visiting the Sea of Galilee

Commentary by Don Knebel

Today, on our continuing trip through Israel and the Palestinian Territories, we travel 25 miles south from Caesarea Philippi (Banias) to the Sea of Galilee.

TRAVEL

Eight miles wide, with an area less than 65 square miles, the harp-shaped Sea of Galilee is more accurately called a lake. Also known in the Bible as the Lake of Gennesaret, the Sea of Tiberias and the Sea of Kinnereth, its surface is about 700 feet below the level of the Mediterranean Sea, making it the world’s lowest freshwater lake. The Jordan River flows into the Sea of Galilee from the north and flows out of it for 88 miles south until it reaches the Dead Sea, the lowest lake in the world.

At the time of Jesus, two Greco-Roman cities that were part of the Decapolis overlooked the Sea of Galilee from the east. Hippos, founded by the Greeks in about 200 B.C., was atop a flat hill rising more than 1,000 feet above the water, near today’s Kibbutz Ein Gev. It was probably the city Jesus had in mind when he said, “A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Gardara, just across the Jordan River in what is now Jordan, was probably where the New Testament says Jesus drove evil spirits from a man so tormented by them that not even chains could restrain him. The evil spirits then went into 2,000 pigs, causing them to rush down a steep bank into the lake below, where they all drowned.

Today, boats built to resemble ancient fishing boats take visitors around the Sea of Galilee. The excavated ruins of Hippos, which include Byzantine-era churches, are in the Hippos National Park. The ruins of Gadara are near the Jordanian city of Umm

Qais, accessible from Israel via the Beit She’an border crossing.
