Bill and Carrie Prater plan to retire and close Kirk’s Hardware March 31. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Kirk’s Hardware owners retire, to close shop By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Kirk’s Hardware owners Bill and Carrie Prater will close the downtown Noblesville hardware store at 848 DOWNTOWN Logan St. on March 31. The Praters, who bought the business in 2002, are retiring. “It’s time to quit,” Bill Prater said. “I’m pushing 72, so it’s time to go home.” The Praters are Noblesville residents. Bill Prater said because they haven’t found any-

one they trust to sell the store to, they will close it instead. “We’d like to keep the hardware store going, but the problem gets to be finding someone with the knowledge to run it,” Bill Prater said. After the store closes March 31, items will be sold through an online auction service through April. Bill Prater said he’s sad to close the business but running the store has been a joy. In retirement, the Praters plan to “chase grandsons” to their various sports games.

Primary challenge for prosecutor Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney D. Lee Buckingham, 56, is facing a challenge in the May 3 Republican primary in his bid for reelection from Greg Garrison, 74, a retired attorney famous for successfully prosecuting

a rape case against boxer Mike Tyson in 1992 and hosting a talk radio show for 20 years. Both candidates are Fishers residents who have not sought elected office outside of this position before. Buckingham became Hamilton County’s prosecuting attorney in 2011. Read the full Q&As at youarecurrent. com/?p=210983.

J. GREGORY GARRISON Education: IU Bloomington, Social Studies BS ed, 1970. IU School of Law, J.D. 1973. Occupation: Lawyer Website: garrisonforprosecutor.com Why do you want Garrison to run for office? The prosecutor of Hamilton County must be focused at all times on the protection of the citizens. Currently, there are violent crimes within the county that are going unprosecuted. As we are seeing more and more crime coming from Marion County, the priorities of the prosecutor’s office need to change now. It starts with putting the victim first. The prosecutor should work hand in hand with law enforcement to build the case. Finally, the prosecutor should train and trust his deputy prosecutors to find the appropriate resolution, whether plea or trial, for each case. What are your qualifications for this of-

fice? Approximately 50 years of experience in the prosecution of felonies across Indiana. I have tried high-profile death penalty murder cases as well as successfully prosecuted Mike Tyson for rape in Marion County. I am not afraid of the hard work involved in such cases and therefore, I will not limit myself to only pursuing “perfect cases.” What are the top 3 issues that your campaign will focus on? 1. Protecting citizens from violent crimes 2. Build a rapport with law enforcement to prepare stronger cases for prosecution 3. Train the next generation of deputy prosecutors to leave a legacy for the next generation. Something most people don’t know about you? I spent 20 years as a radio talk show host at WIBC Indianapolis, three hours per day, five days per week. Now, I spend time with my grandchildren and avidly take care of my three horses. I have loved horses since preschool and I cannot imagine my life without them.

Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis: Doctorate of Buckingham Jurisprudence Occupation: Prosecuting Attorney for the 24th Judicial Circuit of Indiana (Hamilton County) Website: BuckinghamForProsecutor.com Why do you want to run for office? I have dedicated my professional life to protecting the citizens of Hamilton County, and I enjoy the challenges that serving as prosecuting attorney brings. I would like to continue leading the office and working together with law enforcement to help maintain Hamilton County as one of the best and safest places to live, work and raise a family in the entire state. I also want to provide continued stability and continuity for my hardworking and dedicated staff

of professionals. What are your qualifications for this office? Having served as prosecuting attorney since 2011, I have the necessary proven experience to effectively and efficiently run the Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. I also served as a deputy prosecuting attorney for 16 years between 1995 and 2010 before I was sworn in as the elected prosecuting attorney. What are the top three issues that your campaign will focus on? 1. Initially developing and now maintaining a good working relationship with Hamilton County law enforcement 2. Continuously improving the effectiveness and efficiency of my staff 3. Above all else, making sure that the office is run in a highly ethical manner that takes our role as ministers of justice seriously and ensures the integrity of the office while aggressively but fairly pursuing justice for victims and the citizens of Indiana.

Noblesville resident walks runway in New York By Les Morris news@currentnoblesville.com Thirteen-year-old Noblesville resident Michaelah Woolen spent almost a week in Manhattan in February. FASHION The Big Apple’s multitude of cultural, entertainment and dining options are more than enough to keep any teenager busy from dawn to bedtime and Michaelah was no exception. Her week was a little different than the typical seventh-grader’s, however. She spent her time in photo shoots, rehearsals, fittings and walking the runways at New York Fashion Week. A model and dancer, Michaelah is the daughter of Denise Woolen and the late Michael Woolen. She is the youngest of their 10 children. Michaelah, Denise and two sisters all made the trip to New York City and stayed at the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square. It was Michaelah’s first trip to the city and the first for Denise since she and Michael honeymooned there in 2008. Michaelah walked the runway during two different shows at the Hotel Edison and then in a third show at the Ziegfeld Theater. “It was very tiring and very overwhelming,” she said. “I learned a lot of new things. Basically, be yourself and have fun with it.” “I couldn’t have been more proud,” Denise said. “I thought she fit right in and, of course, I thought she looked beautiful.” Michaelah wore three couture gowns at the shows. At the Art Hearts Fashion Show, she wore Wanda Beauchamp Girls Couture, and at the hiTechMODA show she wore fashions by designers Eiffel Bleu Boutique and Rojen NYC Pina Couture. Like any parent, Denise admitted to some jitters. “We were incredibly nervous for her. You see people in videos all the time faceplant on the runway and we saw an adult do that,” she said. “We were hoping that

wouldn’t happen to her. She did incredibly well. She was poised, charming and professional.” Being on the runway was new for Michaelah as she is normally on a full stage when she is dancing. She trains seven to eight hours a day at En Pointe Indiana Ballet in Noblesville. Her schoolwork is done completely online. Her dance repertoire includes classical ballet, contemporary, modern, jazz, Latin and hip-hop. Hip-hop is quickly becoming her favorite. “This year I just started hip-hop, and I really enjoy it,” she said. “You get to really express yourself. You get to think outside the box, stuff you normally can’t do in ballet.” And her runway career may just be getting started as well. She has been invited to walk at Michigan Fashion Week in Detroit in June.

Darlington Bed Race reawakens in Noblesville By Rick Morwick Rick@youarecurrent.com After a two-year hiatus, “The Greatest Spectacle in Bed Racing” is returning to the City of Noblesville’s hisFUNDRAISER toric downtown square. Presented by the Boys & Girls Club Noblesville and the Noblesville Parks & Recreation Dept., the 10th annual Darlington Bed Race is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 3. A fundraiser for scholarships for youth summer camps operated by the BGCN and the park’s department, the event will feature up to 12 teams doing precisely what the name implies — with maybe some familiar pop culture figures piloting the way. “A bed race is exactly what it sounds like – beds that race,” said Abigail Stutesman, director of club operations for the BGCN. “It isn’t often that you find a bed with four wheels with, let’s say, Mario and Luigi or Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, sprinting down 9th Street.” Open to participants 16 and older, the race features teams of four to five people navigating wheeled beds through the square. Three to four runners push the bed while one team member steers. Teams can build their own racing beds or, for a higher

Open to participants of all ages, a $150 cash prize will be awarded to whoever creates the winning design for T-shirts commemorating the 10th race. The deadline to enter the T-shirt contest is March 18. Early bird registration to enter the race is May 6. Late registration is from May 7 to June 1.

Junior sparks University High School’s basketball success By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com University High School junior guard Payton Seay’s improvement has been on a steady climb. Seay, a Noblesville resident, averaged 15 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game for the Trailblazers (23-5), who reached the Class 2A semistate before losing to eventual state champion Forest Park. It was the second consecutive season the Trailblazers reached the semistate. “Payton has been a vital part of our program for the past three seasons,” University coach Justin Blanding said. “She continues to improve every year. Her development over the past three seasons has been a tribute to her hard work. After every season, I challenge her to improve multiple areas of her game and she comes back better. She has been, and will continue to be, one of the most important pieces to our program.” Seay said she has improved in multiple areas. “I really worked on getting my shot bet-

season. Once our starting five get going, it’s really hard to stop us.” Seay will be one of four starters returning, including junior Kelsey DuBois, also from Noblesville. Seay’s sister, Taylor, a freshman, will return as well.

“She was our seventh man,” Seay said. “She really brought a lot of energy on defense.” Seay said her decision to attend University was mainly for academics. Academics were also part of DuBois’ decision to attend University. DuBois averaged 12.8 points and 7.7 rebounds during the season.. The two had played together growing up. The two also grew up playing with Noblesville High School junior Ashlynn Shade, a University of Connecticut commit who helped lead the Millers to a Class 4A state title Feb. 26. “Getting that work in with other elite players like them benefited me to be as good as I am today,” Seay said. Seay attended Noblesville West Middle School, playing with DuBois and Shade. “We went 36-0 through our two years there,” Seay said. “That’s where I really found what kind of player I am. Those two years really helped me with my confidence.” Seay, who wants to play college basketball, plans to major in sports medicine or something in a STEM field because she enjoys math.

MOVE INTO YOUR DREAM HOME IN 2022

Cursive camp to return in June By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Several years ago, Pattie Gray’s young granddaughter expressed an interest in learning how to write in EDUCATION cursive. So Gray, a former teacher, decided to teach her. Word quickly spread. “The next thing I know, my inbox is overflowing with people wanting to know if I’d teach their kid cursive,” Gray said. For the past three years, Gray has opened her Westfield home for weeklong camps to help children learn to write in cursive. This year, the camp will be offered June 6 to 10 and June 13 to 17. Students can sign up for sessions running from 10 a.m. to noon or 2 to 4 p.m. The camp is limited to six students per session, and participants must have completed second grade. Sessions begin with an icebreaker activity before moving to instructional time in a classroom setting. Students practice writing and reading every letter in cursive, both uppercase and lowercase. On Thursday, they write a letter and address an envelope in cursive. “We send those letters off,” Gray said. “The coolest part is when they receive a letter back and it’s in cursive. They’ll send

me copies, and my heart just lights up.” Campers end the week by practicing their new skill in Gray’s sunroom. She covers the windows in shaving cream and has the students write cursive letters in the foam. Gray, who previously taught third grade in Carmel Clay Schools and now works with student teachers at Butler University, said educators often don’t spend much — if any — time teaching cursive because it’s not a requirement and they have many state-mandated subjects to cover. Although technology has replaced many forms of written communication, Gray said writing in cursive is still a useful skill when filling out documents that require a signature or for taking notes quickly. She said she’s also seen it as a valuable tool for some students with disabilities she’s tutored, as some struggle with gripping a writing utensil and find it difficult to pick it up between each letter while printing. She said they benefit from the flow of cursive. “It’s like this whole world has opened up to them,” Gray said. “I see them brighten up. It’s not like it’s a challenge or a chore anymore. It’s something they really enjoy, and it lifts one of the burdens off their backs.” Learn more about the camp and register by emailing Gray at pattiegray@sbcglobal. net.

Retiring Noblesville Schools superintendent proud of district’s academic success By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As Beth Niedermeyer reflects on her eight years as Noblesville Schools superintendent, one thing stands out. “I’m really proud of the incredibly strong team that we have,” said Niedermeyer, who announced in December 2021 her decision to retire June 30. “I’ve been honored to work alongside our leaders and our teachers, so together we have accomplished a lot. The academic data we have is above state and national averages. We have A ratings from the Indiana Dept. of Education. We received state and national recognition for our Science Technology Engineering and Math programming.” Moreover, the high school has been recognized for its Advanced Placement scores. “We’ve received numerous awards for our music education,” she said. In addition, Niedermeyer also noted the district’s strong fiscal management. “(I’m proud of) maintaining a balanced budget and having very high credit ratings, low interest rates and a reduction of the property tax rates for three years in a row,” she said. “We’ve done a great job managing our growth. We’ve included some expansions and renovations at all 10 schools and several athletic facilities. We’ve opened a new Community Center and Transportation Center and we’ve launched the district’s solar power initiative, and that’s expected to generate hundreds of thousand of dollars in savings.” A new multipurpose sports facility, called Beaver Stadium, is expected to be ready for the track and field season in April. Beaver Materials purchased the naming rights. Following a school shooting in May 2018, the district hired a full-time safety director and placed school resource officers in all 10 schools “We’ve implemented over 50 safety enhancements across the district,” she said. Niedermeyer said she is proud of maintaining a high-quality staff during a time of intense teacher, employee and substitute labor shortages. “We’ve had to be creative in our recruiting and retention initiatives,” she said.

In October 2019, Noblesville teachers received their largest pay increase in approximately 40 years. During Niedermeyer’s tenure, the district has implemented several workforce development initiatives. “What’s important is taking a look at all of our students and recognizing their individual needs and finding a variety of career pathways for them to be successful,” she said. “We’ve done a really great job partnering with local businesses to create those internships and expose students to a variety of different kinds of careers. They might find out during the internship that they are highly interested in (a vocation) or they are not.” Niedermeyer said the district did an excellent job handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools remained open during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years. She said two schools closed for a couple of days, but the district did not shut down. “Districts across the country and state have not been able to say that,” she said. “It’s been a wonderful collaboration. Despite huge challenges, they’ve put quality learning at the forefront.” Noblesville Schools Board of Trustees President Joe Forgey thanked Niedermeyer for leadership and service to Noblesville Schools during eight years and for her service to public education for 38 years. “Her passion for learning, thoughtful guidance and ability to build strong relationships has had an untold positive

impact on tens of thousands of students, employees, families and community members over the years,” Forgey said. Niedermeyer became Noblesville Schools superintendent in July 2014 after previous leadership roles with Hamilton Southeastern Schools, the Metropolitan School District of Pike Township and For Wayne Community Schools. “It’s been an honor to serve this school district and community,” she said.

TIMING WAS RIGHT Noblesville Schools Supt. Beth Niedermeyer said she announced her retirement in December 2021 to give the school board plenty of time to search for her replacement. “The biggest thing is I’m certainly not getting any younger,” Niedermeyer said. “The time is right for me to pass the baton on to another superintendent. It’s going to allow me more time to spend with my parents, who are 90 and 91, and my husband’s parents, who are both 85.” Niedermeyer, 61, and her husband Bob’s

parents both live in Fort Wayne. “We spend a lot of weekends up there,” said Niedermeyer, who plans to stay in Noblesville. “This will just give us more time to spend with them. It’s something you look at year to year, look at what’s happening in your life and with our families, and this just felt like the right time.” Niedermeyer said she wants to travel, cook and exercise more. She and her husband want to spend more time with their friends.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Moral choices

Money can’t buy happiness?

Commentary by Terry Anker Considering it his more important work, Scottish philosopher Adam Smith penned “The Theory of Moral Sentiments” in 1759, some 17 years before authoring the often cited and more often misunderstood “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.” Although the flourish of his style is antiquated, his insight remains keen. In expressing a singular characteristic of humans, he points to a story where the earth opened by earthquake and all the inhabitants of China were consumed. Naturally, good folk decried the calamity. Some sent well wishes, coins or prayers. Others lamented the human condition and imagined the causes behind their misfortune. But few, if any, dug in the rubble. Smith went on to point out, “And when all this fine philosophy was over, when all these humane sentiments had been once fairly expressed, he would pursue his business or his pleasure, take his repose or his diversion, with the same ease and tranquility, as if no such accident had happened.” But if the person he suggests were to lose a finger, he would likely find his life disrupted by pain and insomnia. Wouldn’t we all? In fact, few would sacrifice our own digit to have prevented the catastrophe to the Chinese. Would we feel the personal obligation? Yet, this icon of capitalism Smith goes on to extol the hidden virtue of humans in his query, “When we are always so much more deeply affected by whatever concerns ourselves, than by whatever concerns other men; what is it which prompts the generous, upon all occasions, and the mean upon many, to sacrifice their own interests to the greater interests of others?” Even as the Russian bear mauls the children of Ukraine, what is our sacrifice? If self-interest propels the world of commerce, does sympathy drive our moral one?

I’m conflicted, friends. My need for alone time is currently duking it out with my frugal nature, and I’m not sure which side will emerge victorious. Here’s the skinny: My husband, Doo, has had a boys ski trip on the books for awhile, which means I’ve also had plans. Specifically, a beautiful, lazy weekend of single living, with no demands, no sleep interruptions and no empty milk cartons left inexplicably on the kitchen counter right above the actual trash can. I’ve been looking forward to this for months. All began well. Doo left the house early for his flight, and though he woke me in the process, I easily fell back to sleep dreaming of the quiet morning that lie ahead. I eventually got up, made coffee and began an intriguing expert-level sudoku puzzle. Alas, those would be the only precious moments I’d enjoy. Doo called to say he’d been bumped and was heading home, but that he’d been compensated almost $1,000. So, just as my heart sank into disappointment, my forever-concerned-with-money brain was like, “Yeah, baby! Make it rain!” Hence, my internal conflict. I really wanted some space. I love Doo, but as most of you with longtime partners know, periodic separations are tremendously important. And now, he’s sitting across from me on the couch talking loudly amid the various detritus of his life. On the other hand, his ski trip was expensive, and with his new travel vouchers, we’ll be able to cover the cost of an already-committed-to family wedding this summer. So, yeah, I’m conflicted. A surprise temporary perdition versus an unexpected cash boon. Might be a draw. Peace out.

DISPATCHES Basil, the anti-aging herb — There are more than 40 varieties of basil, but new research is showing Indian basil has anti-aging properties and is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including stress, heart and respiratory problems, diabetes, digestive and skin disorders, inflammation and pain. The traditional method is to boil fresh leaves and water until the water reduces to half. Then you can either drink the resulting tea or eat the crushed herb when it cools. However, since it is difficult to find the fresh leaves in the U.S., dried Indian basil may be easier to find. Source: Bottom Line Inc.

Moving for better health — Sitting for most of the day is terrible for your health, raising your risk for diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. For better health, try to get up and do some light activity several times a day, even if you have a sedentary job. Moving around triggers blood flow, clears glucose from the blood and breaks down triglycerides. Source: BottomLineHealth.com

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. Have a funny story or wonderful reminiscence to share. Laughter is a great healer, and it can make the recovering person’s day. Music and menu choices — It’s no secret that restaurants use colors, lighting and music to influence diner’s food choices. Now a study suggests that theory may be fact. The study analyzed customers’ food choices during periods of loud, upbeat music and during periods of quiet music. When the music was quiet, customers made healthier menu choices than when the music was loud. The takeaway is that you should focus on the healthy choices regardless of the noise level.

But many largecap, blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains the past year, so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better defensive strategy is to invest in dividend-paying medium-sized companies — those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10

billion. Their businesses are mature enough to pay reliable dividends but still have the ability to grow much faster than large companies. Also, their stocks are bigger bargains. To find attractive dividend-paying, mid-cap stocks, look for companies with steady recurring revenues, little or no debt, leading market positions in their niches and strong enough cash flow to increase dividends at least 10 percent annually for the next five years.

Blo Blow Dry Bar opens By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For entrepreneur Theresa Shadley, opening a Blo Blow Dry Bar seemed like a logical next step. NEW BIZ Blo Blow Dry Bar opened Feb. 11 at 11595 Whistle Dr., Suite 102, in Fishers. The franchise will be the first Blo Blow Dry Bar in Indiana. “We offer no cuts and no color, so we just offer blow dries, or blow outs, as we call them, (and) special-occasion hair, makeup and extensions,” Shadley said. The first shop opened in Canada in 2007, and the franchise has grown to more than 140 locations across the U.S. and Canada and continues to grow. The shop offers five signature hair styles. There are eight stations at the shop. Shadley said there will be 10 employees. As a longtime blow dry bar customer, Shadley said she saw the need for a brand with a history of success in the industry. Shadley, a licensed cosmetologist who lives in Noblesville, already owns Pure Barre franchises, which are women’s fitness studios, in Fishers and Noblesville. She plans

A.J. Croce pays tribute to his father’s legacy with ‘Croce Plays Croce’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A.J. Croce wasn’t quite 2 years old when his father, singer/songwriter Jim Croce, died in a 1973 plane crash. CONCERTS For several years, the younger Croce stuck to playing his own music and songs he loved. He toured with B.B. King and Ray Charles before he was 21. But in recent years, he has embraced his father’s legacy. “The concert is about connections between my father’s music, my music and the music that influenced both of us,” Croce said. “It’s really about the connection we all have to our parents, to our children, to the ones we love, to our friends. That being said, It’s a really energetic show.” “Croce Plays Croce” is set for two performances at 5 and 8 p.m. March 19 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Both shows are nearly sold out. Some of his father’s biggest hits include “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” “Operator (That’s the Not the Way it Feels),” “I Got a Name” and “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim.” Croce said he has several favorites, but “Time in a Bottle” is personal because his father wrote the song when he learned his wife, Ingrid, was pregnant with A.J. “We play the big hits, but it changes from night to night,” Croce said. “My father’s catalog is really three albums. I’ve had 30 years of recording to switch in and out of the show as well as thousands of songs we have in common.” Croce, 50, said he began playing his father’s songs in concert five years ago. “I got to the place where I had a bunch of chart success with 15 or 16 songs,” Croce said. “I played with all my heroes and done these different things and I feel like I had some integrity. I had offers to play my father’s music since I was 16, but it was not an inspiring thing for me.” Croce said about 20 years ago he was

transferring much of his father’s home recordings to digital. “At that time, I found a tape that had all these covers. Obviously, he didn’t get to play his own music when he was playing little clubs around Philly,” Croce said. “This particular tape had 12 or 13 songs. About 10 of them were songs that I had been playing since I was a kid. They were obscure jazz and blues artists and some country stuff. But not only was it the artists we had in common, but the actual songs.” Croce said the tapes included a Fats Waller song, “You’re Not the Only Oyster in the Stew,” which he also had on his first Columbia Records demo. There were deep cuts by Mississippi John Hurt, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and Bessie Smith. “I’m a piano player, first and foremost. Around this time I had been gifted a guitar by my mother that was one he gave to her and he had written his first two albums on,” Croce said. “I felt an obligation to

learn the instrument. It’s special to me and it’s also an amazing ‘30s Gibson.” On what would have been his father’s 70th birthday in 2013, Croce said the family had a party to celebrate. “I played a bunch of his songs, a few of mine and songs from that tape,” Croce said. “That was the catalyst for how ‘Croce Plays Croce’ began. I didn’t play another show like that for five years. Once I realized I’m not doing an impersonation of my father, this is a tribute to his music and his legacy, it’s something that I felt not just happy to do but I felt sort of an obligation of sorts to share his music. “It’s not something I do every night, but when I do, it’s really enjoyable. I see how it affects the people in the audience.” Croce has a setlist for the band but does deviate from it for each concert. “The more into it the audience is, the more I can curate the set,” he said.

Sphinx Virtuosi to feature cellist By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Andrea Casarrubios’ “Seven” is striking a chord with concert audiences. The Sphinx Virtuosi conCONCERT cert program features a cello solo performance by Cuban American cellist Thomas Mesa of “Seven.” The piece was commissioned by Mesa. Casarrubios made it a tribute to essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to those who died or are still suffering from the crisis. Sphinx Virtuosi, a professional chamber orchestra comprised of 18 of the nation’s top Black and Latinx classical soloists, will perform at 8 p.m. March 19 at The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The piece is one of three Mesa commissioned to three different composers. “It was about their experience during the pandemic. I gave them free rein to what they wanted to do,” Mesa said. “Each wrote something fairly different. The title ‘Seven’ comes from the time that people would go to the windows and clap for the essential workers.

It has been an absolute hit. There are cellists all over the country playing this piece due to her music is so incredible. People are really taking to it. Andrea is a cellist herself. It’s a very touching and emotional piece.” The piece ends with seven bell-like sounds, alluding to New York City’s daily tribute during the lockdown. “Carlos Simon’s piece was tied into not just the situation with the pandemic but the situation with all of the social issues, with the Black Lives Matter protests,” Mesa said. Mesa said Stephanie Ann Boyd’s piece is similar to Casarrubios in that it was inspired by Boyd’s experiences during the lockdown in New York City. Mesa plans to debut the other two pieces in May. Mesa has been a member of Sphinx Virtuosi since 2016 after being the first-place winner in the renowned Sphinx Competition. “Ever since then, I’ve had a lot of good solo opportunities with them,” he said. “My relationship with Sphinx is wonderful. We’re kind of like a family.” Mesa has curated a concert program that will be performed by the Indianapolis Symphony on March 26. He will be the soloist.

A tale of supply and demand Commentary by Jeffrey C. McDermott Mother’s Day, May 8, will be extra special this year for more than 1,500 patrons who will join us at the PalladiVIEWPOINT um to see 17-time Grammy-winner Sting and his band. The Center for the Performing Arts is proud to attract high-caliber performers like Sting, John Legend, Steve Martin and Martin Short, Harry Connick Jr., Ben Folds, Sheryl Crow, Tony Bennett and many more. Many have wondered (and bemoaned) how tickets for this concert sold so quickly. The short answer is huge demand, as this rock icon typically plays much larger venues. His current tour includes the 12,000seat Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Mich., and six shows at the 2,300-seat London Palladium — the other Palladium, as we call it. Sting’s concert at our Palladium, one of the smallest rooms on the tour, will be uniquely intimate. Had he been available for 10 shows here, we might have sold out 10 times. Some have wondered about third-party ticket brokers grabbing up blocks of seats. Although ticket reselling is legal in Indiana, we did take steps to limit that practice.

In the run-up to the public sale date, we provided presale opportunities to donors, sponsors and series subscribers, as they have been our greatest supporters since we opened, as well as members of our free eNews mailing list and to Sting’s official fan club. We placed limits on individual purchases and on the number of tickets available each day, closing sales when we hit those daily limits. Still, the seats sold with unprecedented speed. Yes, tickets are now being offered for resale at exorbitant prices. But buyer beware: Resale offers may not be legitimate. Use caution if you choose to buy from a reseller or through social media. We plan to continue to bring performers of this stature to Carmel. Please know that we also will continue to do our best to offer tickets in the most fair and equitable manner possible.

Jeffrey C. McDermott is the president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and Great American Songbook Foundation.

After three seasons interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director Janna Hymes said she is confident of being able to present a full season for musicians and audiences. “Every season, I like to program a mix of repertoire and guest artists for our Carmel audience,” she said. “Our 2022-23 season is packed with all genres of music and exciting programs. Audiences of all ages and backgrounds will enjoy what we are offering. Programming with optimism and a renewed sense of hope has been incredibly rewarding. I hope our community likes the overall makeup of the season and will come hear their amazing orchestra.” The majority of the CSO’s concerts are performed at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. But there will be a 7 p.m. concert July 3 at Daniel’s Vineyard in McCordsville and an 8 p.m. July 4 show at CarmelFest’s Gazebo Stage. An education program exclusive to students from area schools will be presented on Sept. 27, when the CSO performs “Beethoven Lives Upstairs: A Classical Kids Live!” at the Palladium The orchestra’s 2022-23 season includes: • Masterworks 1: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Palladium.

Guest artist: cellist Sterling Elliott • CSO Pops Concert: 7:30 p.m. May 6, 2023, at the Palladium. Aretha: A Tribute with guest artist Capathia Jenkins. “We decided to program the (John Williams) concert as a Masterworks because the music is quite difficult and we wanted to put in the time for preparation as we always do for these programs,” Hymes said. “Because of the nature of this music and the fact we will be projecting film clips, we decided to add a concert for families and others who may prefer an afternoon concert.” Hymes looks forward to the season. “Without a doubt, it’s the most diverse, ambitious season we’ve ever brought to the Palladium,” she said. Tickets for the upcoming season will be available soon at CarmelSymphony.org, and at the Palladium Fifth Third Bank Box Office, 317-843-3800. The 2022-23 season is supported by the City of Carmel, the Center for the Performing Arts, the Palladium and Pedcor.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Concerts for a Cause co-founder Bruce Kidd figures the 2022 lineup is the series’ best as it enters its FUNDRAISER sixth year. “We have the best group of local and national artists we have had to date,” Kidd said. “We specifically wanted to have more duos and trios this year since we have mainly had solo acts in the past. It will create different and cool concert experiences for our guests with two or more voices and lots of harmonies. “All of our artists are supremely talented, but most of them have not had songs on commercial radio stations around the U.S.” The Carmel resident said he wants to attract new people to the concerts. The proceeds benefit a nonprofit, “I like storytellers, solo or band, where you can understand the lyrics when they play live and the songs move you in some way,” Kidd said. “Those are the kinds of artists, both local and national, we have this year.” The first of the four Concerts for a Cause

Definitions of change Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Today, I’d like to look at English words whose definitions have changed drastically over the years. Some have taken a complete about-face. GRAMMAR GUY Awful: This word now means something like “terrible, bad, horrible, or lousy.” Originally, the word had the same association with the word “awesome,” which meant deep reverence and respect fo something or someone. Cloud: Back in the day, a cloud was down, while now it is up. In the 1300s, a “clud” was a mass of rock or a hill — think of a “clod” of dirt today. This was a mass of earth. Today, a “cloud” is something in the sky that sometimes drops precipitation. Apparently, it’s also where all my passwords are stored. If anyone finds them, let me know. Meat: In Old English, people distinguished solid food (meat) from drink (drink). Over time, “meat” evolved to mean only the flesh of animals that people eat. But back in the day, an apple would have fallen into the meat category. Literally: You’ll be saddened to learn that a second definition has been added to the word literally: figuratively. Am I happy about this? No, I am not. However, dictionaries report popular usage, so “literally” can mean “exactly” or “kind of/about/approximately/ figuratively.” Nice: We get “nice” from the Latin word “nescious” (ignorant). Originally, “nice” meant “a stupid or ignorant person.” Over time, the word came to mean either “someone who is shy” or “someone who has a keen sense for fashion.” Eventually, the word “nice” morphed into meaning “kind” or “agreeable.” Fantastic: We now know the word “fantastic” to be synonymous with “great.” However, this wasn’t always the case. “Fantastic” originally meant something that was “imaginary” or “made-up.” As you can tell, our language ebbs and flows over time. Words change and evolve into different meanings as culture and prevailing thought shift.

A visit to historic Fes, Morocco Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in the last column for now about where to go during Indiana winters, we visit Fes (or Fez), Morocco, TRAVEL where the average high temperature in March is about 68 degrees. In A.D. 789, Idris I, progenitor of the Idrisid Dyasty, established Fes el Bali (Old Fes) and made it the capital of an Islamic empire controlling most of what is now Morocco and a portion of western Algeria. In 859, the Idrisids founded in Fes el Bali what is now the University of Al-Karaouine, the world’s oldest continuously operating institution of higher education. Al-Karaouine helped establish Fes el Bali as an international center of Islamic learning and culture. By the 12th century, Fes el Bali, with about 200,000 residents, was the largest city in the world. In 1244, the Marinids gained control of the area and established nearby Fes el Jdid (New Fes), where they erected a palace. When the French gained control of Morocco in 1912, they intentionally preserved the walled cities of Fes el Bali and Fes el

As a result, for current residents of the medinas, life is not much different from what it was hundreds of years ago, although electricity makes some tasks easier.
