Birth of daughter after high-risk pregnancy was ‘the biggest blessing’ With care from Ascension St. Vincent specialists, mom felt “so much more at peace” Sitting in the exam room at 30 weeks pregnant, Teshia Unger’s original pregnancy and birthing plan quickly changed. Due to worsening complications with her placenta, Teshia said her doctor referred her to Ascension St. Vincent for more advanced care. Teshia was seen by maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist Tovah Buikema, DO, director of maternal-fetal medicine at Ascension St. Vincent. MFM specialists are OB-GYNs who have advanced training in treating both moms and babies before, during and after high-risk, complicated pregnancies. Teshia was diagnosed with placenta percreta, a condition in which the placenta attaches and implants too deeply into the uterus, growing through it and into nearby organs. “Pregnancies complicated by conditions like placenta percreta require significant coordination of care among various teams of surgeons and specialists,” Dr. Buikema said. “Our care teams are well-trained and have experience with these types of deliveries, with a

multidisciplinary team of specialists available for patients.”

“I felt like my doctors and nurses genuinely cared about me, my family and our well-being.” — Teshia Unger, who delivered her daughter at Ascension St. Vincent

“My care team told me how many cases of my condition they had worked on, what their plan of action was and who I could call if I had any questions or concerns,” Teshia said. “I felt so much more at peace, and it was comforting knowing they had a lot of experience with it.” At 32 weeks, Teshia was admitted to Ascension St. Vincent as a precaution until delivery. Teshia said during her stay at the hospital, one of her doctors surprised her with a cake so she and her husband could celebrate

Teshia Unger and her daughter, Elle

their wedding anniversary. “When you hear the word ‘care’ you think it’s just the physical, but we received much more than that,” Teshia said. “I felt like my doctors and nurses genuinely cared about me, my family and our well-being.” At 35 weeks, Teshia gave birth to her daughter Elle by C-section. After her delivery, Teshia and her doctor

decided it would be best to have her uterus removed due to her condition. While she was treated by her Ascension St. Vincent doctors, Elle received care in the NICU at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent next door for three weeks before going home. “Elle has been the biggest blessing for us,” Teshia said. “She’s perfect.” The NICU at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis is one of the largest in Indiana and, along with Ascension St. Vincent Women’s Hospital, is certified for Level IV maternal and neonatal care. A team of neonatal specialists is available 24/7 to monitor and care for babies with complex conditions. MFM specialists are also available to provide the highest level of care for moms and babies.

Eagles guard continues to improve his shooting skills By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School junior guard Logan Imes’ value to the boys basketball team could be easily measured. When he missed five games with an ankle sprain, the Eagles lost four of them. The 6-foot-4 Imes averaged 17.8 points on 48 percent shooting and 3.6 assists per game for the Eagles (14-8). “Logan has become much more confident at finishing around the basket and his jump shot,” said Eagles coach J.R. Howell, whose team lost to Noblesville March 1 in the opening round of the sectional. “He worked tirelessly in the offseason to improve in those areas, and it showed this season. He is also a pretty unselfish player. He doesn’t care about stats or points, he just wants to win.” Imes suffered an ankle sprain against Brebeuf Jesuit Jan. 7 and returned Feb. 8 against Center Grove. “The first two games (after returning) were an adjustment, and I didn’t feel I was quite all the way back,” Imes said. “Once I got used to playing and practicing again

Favorite athlete: Kevin Durant Favorite subject: Math Favorite TV show: “The Office.” Favorite vacation spot: Anna Maria Island, Fla. and had those few games, I felt really good the rest of the season.” Imes said his shooting was off when he first returned because he had to get back into game shape. “Before the injury, I was shooting way better,” he said. Imes’ ball-handling improved as well.

“I was way more aggressive this year,” he said. “I was using my ability better. Last

year, I was a little hesitant here and there. This year, I wanted to go out and show dominance and be the player I know I’m capable of being.” Imes said he made strides as a leader this past season in Howell’s second season as coach. “We had a group that has played together for a year,” he said. “I think for me that was my biggest thing that I was a leader on the court and in practice, too.” Imes said he is focusing on offers from Butler, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Creighton. “I’ll definitely make a decision this summer,” he said. “I’ll probably play some games on the (AAU) circuit and see if another team or so reaches out. As it stands now, I like the options I have.” Imes, who will play for Indiana Elite this summer, said he will continue to concentrate on expanding his shooting range. “Shooting off the dribble is a big next step for me,” he said. “I do it a little bit now, but I need to get more consistent. The sectional game wasn’t my best game. I didn’t shoot well at all and that let our offense down.”

Noblesville pottery studio survives pandemic, banks on future growth By Jillian Kurtz news@currentnoblesville.com When Louise Blazucki moved to Anderson from Baltimore in 2017, she was a stay-at-home mom who became bored and sought a lifestyle change. She found it at Kiln Creations, 60 N. Ninth St., Noblesville. She now owns the business. Blazucki discovered Kiln Creations when she visited the pottery shop as a customer in late November 2018. During Blazucki’s visit, Kiln Creations’ owner Shannon Loomis mentioned to Blazucki that this was the last chance to paint pottery because she was closing the business. Loomis decided to close Kiln Creations later that month. Blazucki spoke with Loomis about purchasing the business, and she bought it shortly thereafter. “I think we learned about the opportunity on Dec. 13, and by Dec. 31, we had the keys in hand, and we opened the first of 2019,” Blazucki said. Blazucki decided to keep the store’s original name and logo design. “We have been Kiln Creations for 21 years now and I felt like we couldn’t change because it was just so iconic,” Blazucki said. “It’s been in central Indy for so long.” With no ceramics experience prior to purchasing Kiln Creations, Blazucki trained with Loomis for six weeks so she would have the knowledge and skills to successfully run the business. “I’ve been blessed with some really great hires, a couple from the Herron School of Art (at IUPUI) that have really helped navigate the new things that we are doing like the wheels and the high-fire clay,” Blazucki said. Katya Reinhard, 22, was one of those hires. She graduated from the Herron School of Art and Design in May 2021. “I took a shot in the dark and emailed Louise,” Reinhard said. Within 30 minutes of sending that email, Reinhard received a response to interview for a position and accepted an offer to work as an instructor at the shop.

PUSHING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC Like so many other small businesses, Kiln Creations struggled at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The original location in Broad Ripple closed and never reopened. Kiln Creations in Noblesville closed March 23, 2020, for 10 weeks. When it reopened, it operated on a limited schedule. “We offered at-home, paint-your-own pottery,” Blazucki said. “People could come in and pick up a to-go kit.” Blazucki said the process was a lot to ask of a customer because they had to pick up the kit, bring it back to complete the firing process and then return to the store to pick up the final product.

Through the pandemic, Kiln Creations expanded its programming with Painting in the Park, an outdoor event where customers paint canvases in Forest Park. The concept attracted new clientele. At Forest Park, the business can host approximately 80 people as opposed to 40 inside the studio. Because of supply chain issues, Kiln Creations can’t acquire certain materials that are needed to run the studio. “Now, we pour (clay) in-house,” Blazucki said. “We went from probably 10 percent of our product being poured inhouse to about 70 percent, which is actually really nice because we use AMACO clay which is made in town.”

the schools to help the kids.” One of Blazucki’s favorite parts about owning Kiln Creations is serving “legacy customers.” “We get a lot of people who haven’t been in since they were a kid, and then they bring their own kid, and then they realize how much we offer and that they should come back and reconnect with that side of themselves,” Blazucki said. “I just get so excited about that.” ON THE COVER: Bailey Spears, left, and Janet Smith paint pieces of pottery at Kiln Creations.

FUTURE TAKES SHAPE

START CREATING

With nine new pottery wheels in the studio and instructors to help with the new machines, Blazucki looks forward to offering new opportunities for customers. Blazucki wants to offer Kiln Creations programs at local schools as after-school programing that is either fully or partially funded by the business. “I’m working on writing some grants to make that happen with the help of Nickel Plate Arts,” Blazucki said. “That’s my gift to Noblesville for being so welcoming. I want to get it funded so parents don’t have to pay. We can just be in

Kiln Creations is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Anyone is welcome to walk in and start creating. “I make it a point to tell everyone who comes in here that they are an artist and that what they’ve made is of value,” owner Lousie Blazucki said.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Stand for something

Game on Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker “You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything,” so proclaimed the poet. Well, it was a 70-year-old, one-time bad boy Hoosier rocker named John Mellencamp who introduced it to many of us. The good reader can decide if it is poetry or not. As with so many artists, Mellencamp borrowed the truism from others who quoted it, or something very close, years before. Some cite early American patriot Alexander Hamilton for originating the thought. Like much about Hamilton these days, the attribution is contested. Later, a 1945 edition of the journal “Mental Hygiene” employed the expression in its concern for the “boys” understanding World War II in terms of what was being opposed by the war but also what was being sought. Some things never really change. Today, we have opened what could become the costliest war ever. We watch, horrified, as missiles are fired into civilian targets. One might conclude that the ultimate objective is not a military victory but the submission of a people by terror. It leaves us wondering what is it that we can tolerate? The leader of the aggressor state has insinuated, if not outright claimed, his right and intention to rain down nuclear death if his desires are refuted by the victims now suffering in his smaller, largely unarmed European neighbor. Should we stand for something? Are we prepared to pay the price? Nuclear winters? Conscription for young women, as it is for young men? The lives of so many sacrificed for national sovereignty and megalomania. Does it really matter if we speak English or Russian? But what of the caution after the comma that we’ll fall for anything? Can one trade 40 million or so far-off souls for our own peace? Should we? Or is it likely certain that ours would be next?

Some of my favorite movies growing up in the ‘80s were set within the context of the Cold War – “Spies Like Us,” “Red Dawn,” and, of course, “War Games.” My sisters and I particularly enjoyed a film called “Gotcha!” about a college guy who becomes embroiled in a CIA undercover operation with a sultry Czech spy. Comedy and romance abound amid a deadly Soviet-era game of cat and mouse. Anyhoo, The Cold War may though you could be over, friends, easily contribute but its redmy childhood headed stepchild nostalgia to Assassins is alive recent events, and well in central I’ve been drawn Indiana teendom. there through a phenomenon – DANIELLE WILSON currently capturing the hearts and minds during shouldbe-studying time of hundreds of local high school seniors. It’s called Assassins, and it’s hilariously intense. Rules vary from school to school, but the general idea is the same: For a small fee, kids enter into a pool of assassins and have seven days to take out their assigned mark with a water gun and avoid being “hit” themselves. Those who accomplish both tasks advance to the next round, with the sole survivor making bank. School, work and home are the only designated DMZs. The girl who sniped my daughter was unbelievable. I foiled her first attempt when I discovered her tucked up against our garage and sounded the alarm. But then she enlisted her mom and waylaid Maddie at the dance studio, bursting forth from an inconspicuous minivan, Rambo-style. One of my students was dispatched at a McDonald’s drive-thru, and countless more have met their ends in vulnerable parking lots and driveways. The Cold War may be over, friends, but its red-headed stepchild Assassins is alive and well in central Indiana teendom. Gotcha! Peace out.

GUIDE

Realtor, contractor, architect advise on historic restoration By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com With regard to preserving historic homes, specifically in Noblesville, local experts offer a range of advice. Realtor Kurt Meyer, who lives in a house built in the 1870s in downtown Noblesville, consults with clients on what they can do to enhance their home’s value while retaining its history. “I can think of a time where on 10th Street, I saw an original Victorian-era staircase torn out of a house laying in the side yard waiting for the dumpster,” Meyer said. “I know people pay extra for that detail, and they were

taking their trump card and throwing it in the dumpster.” Meyer said property owners should consider preservation for two reasons. “One is you can never get it back,” he said. “And two, a lot of people watch too much HGTV and think they can Chip and Joanna Gaines every house. I think you need to have a longer view than whatever is trendy right now.” WHAT TO PRESERVE If an owner wants to sell or restore a historic house, Meyer urges them to retain as much of the original architectural detail as possible. “But the house has to work like a modern house,”

Meyer said. “So, bathrooms, kitchens, mechanical systems — if you want top dollars, those all have to function like a brand-new house.” A common mistake Meyer notices is removing original doors. “That’s something where you can lose a lot of detail because when you lose a door,” he said. “You lose the ornate hinges, beautiful, ornate doorknobs.” Meyer said owners should take their time when finding contractors to help with historic restoration.

Creative Works president designs environments for play By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com As president of Creative Works, a design and manufacturing company, Armando Lanuti supervises projects for attractions and themed environments in the entertainment industry. “That’s everything from laser tag arena, mini golf, Escape Rooms,” said Lanuti, a Carmel resident. “We have Lanuti done some work here locally with locations like Woodland Bowl, Urban Air, Laser Flash and Bowl 32. We were able to take part in the Peyton Manning statue.” Besides designing recreation environments, Lanuti serves on the board for MakeA-Wish Foundation. He helps develop unique ways to help Make-A-Wish kids’ dreams come true. “A lot of people think of Make-A=Wish and think of trips like going to Disney, but the kids don’t always have that ability based on their condition or the timeliness,” Lanuti said. “So, what we do is, we can help do extreme home makeover updates to their

room or a basement or something like that to give them a cool experience to have with their families in a space they oftentimes have to spend a lot of time in. “That’s been really awesome and epic for us to be able to use our unique talents in such a way.” For example, Creative Works painted mural in a child’s room to represent a bear and wildlife scene. Lanuti said Creative Works can incorporate a child’s interest into designs. Creative Works is based in Mooresville but plans to move its 80-plus team to a new space in Indianapolis in a few months. The new building is being renovated in Park Fletcher, inside the Interstate 465 loop off of Sam Jones Expressway. It is nearly 70,000 square feet and will allow Creative Works to expand. “We hired 20 people in the last 90 days,” Lanuti said. “We will hire another 20 to 30 in 2022. The new space will allow us to get everything under one roof.” Presently, Creative Works performs its design and manufacturing in three buildings. It will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “There are a lot of contractors out there who know how to buy and attach pre-fab things from Lowes and Home Depot, but are they really carpenters in a way we thought of carpenters 50 years ago?” Meyer said. “Do they really know how to build a staircase or do they preorder it and shove it in place?” DEFINING ‘HISTORIC’ Peterson Architecture Principal Architect Darren Peterson said when restoring a home, it’s important to establish value. “What makes a piece historic or non-historic?” said Peterson, who also serves on the Noblesville Common Council. “Being old doesn’t always mean it’s historic.” Peterson said to be aware of context when making restorations. “Sometimes they tear the front porch off, but that may have been what made that whole block have historic value,” he said. “Something we talk about on the (downtown Noblesville) square is which of those buildings holds its own value? The courthouse, obviously. But are all of the buildings on the square important as single buildings, or is it because they create the feeling and façade of the square? Can you remove one of those buildings and put something back and have it carry the same historic value?”

RESTORATION COSTS In the past, costs associated with high-quality, long-term restorations were enough to make owners tear out historic touches and replace them with modern items. But now, as the cost of materials increases, Peterson said owners realize they can refinish parts of their home and save money versus replacing it with something new. Meyer said if someone truly wants to preserve history, they should take the time

to find the right kind of contractor. He said the search could take up to two years. He recommended MacInnis Construction, based in Noblesville. It is a full-service general contracting and design company specializing in historic restoration and rehabilitation of commercial and residential properties. Co-owner Heather MacInnis said homeowners should be aware of unforeseen expenses associated with historic restoration. She said kitchen remodels can range from $50,000 to $70,000 and take two months to complete. A complete exterior renovation can range from $100,00 to $150,000 and can take up to 2 1/2 months. “Always be aware that there will likely be expenses added to the job that are unforeseen at the time the estimate is completed. As much as we’d like to have one, the contractor’s magical crystal ball does not yet exist,” said MacInnis, who owns the company with her husband, Gary. “Historic buildings always come with interesting surprises that only reveal themselves as the project progresses. Personally, we love working on historic homes and businesses for this reason, but the owner needs to be prepared for the extra cost.” MacInnis suggests budgeting 10 to 20 percent above the estimate to prepare for unforeseen expenses.

Some projects MacInnis Construction has worked on include façade remodels or updates to several downtown Noblesville buildings, such as the Allstate building at 828 Logan St., Texy Mexy at 818 Logan St., Carmack’s Cigar Shop at 822 Logan St., Uptown Café at 809 and 813 Conner St., the Nationwide building at 817 Conner Street and Noblesville Preservation Alliance’s Preservation Hall at 1274 Logan St. “We’ve also worked on the Historical Society Museum in the Sheriff’s Residence on the square,” MacInnis said. “We’ve done work on over 26 historic homes in Noblesville.” MacInnis said most people approach the company through word-of-mouth referrals. “Historic property owners are very sensitive to how their home or business will be remodeled, as they should be,” she said. “They typically don’t want someone they just found through an internet search to work on their home. They know we are familiar with how historic structures are put together and how they should be finished out in a way that is sensitive to their needs without sacrificing the historic authenticity of the home or business. Sometimes those historic details, unfortunately, do get put by the wayside if the customer’s budget or modern codes will not allow for them.”

June 30 is the deadline to secure net metering for solar installation. (Stock photo)

Going solar in Indiana Who doesn’t want to harvest the sunshine to pay for your electric bills? That’s why thousands of Hoosiers across the state have invested in rooftop solar. If you’re interested in making the switch to solar, here are some things to consider. NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT June 30 is the deadline to secure net metering. Net metering provides a credit each month for the electricity solar owners share with their neighbors at the same price you pay for electricity — an even swap. If your solar panels are installed by June 30, you’ll receive net metering until 2032. Systems installed after June 30 will receive lower compensation for the electricity shared with the electric grid. Systems placed in service this year are also eligible for the federal Investment Tax Credit, or ITC, valued at 26 percent of the installation cost. The ITC is scheduled to dip to 22 percent for 2023 and then end entirely for residential installations. Installing your panels this year to secure net metering and the 26 percent federal ITC will help to maximize your solar investment. The process for installing solar panels can take several months to complete, so there’s no time to waste. SOLAR ECONOMICS Rooftop solar saves money by reducing your monthly electric bills. Each individual solar installation will be different, with the size and upfront cost of the system based on your individual needs. Most residential solar installations will fall somewhere in the $10,000 to $20,000 range before factoring in the federal tax credit. It’s typical for bill savings from solar panels to break even with the upfront

We are dedicated to providing you with the best service and most innovative products available.

investment in a 10- to 12-year period. The solar panels should be producing efficient electricity for at least 25 years, meaning the panels will be producing monthly savings well after breaking even on the investment. Solar companies should provide an estimate of the energy your system will produce, the breakeven point, and what your total return on investment will be as part of the sales process. If you don’t have the ability to pay for your solar panels with cash, there are several financing options to consider. HOW THE BOONE & HAMILTON COUNTY SOLAR CO-OP CAN HELP One way to learn more is to join the Boone & Hamilton Counties Solar Co-op. The solar co-op, facilitated by 501(c)3 nonprofit Solar United Neighbors, or SUN, is free to join and requires no obligation to install solar panels. Joining the co-op allows you to leverage the bulk-purchasing power of the group along with vendor-neutral technical support from SUN to make the process of installing solar panels easy. Group members select a single solar company through a competitive bidding process facilitated by SUN. The deadline to join the group is March 31, to ensure that all members can install their panels before the June 30 net metering deadline. You can learn more at a solar 101 webinar at 7 p.m. March 29. To register for the webinar, visit solarunitedneighbors.org/event/ indiana-solar-101-22-03-29/.

Zach Schalk is the Indiana program director for Solar United Neighbors, a nonprofit dedicated to helping Hoosiers go solar and fight for their energy rights.

DISPATCHES Sunscreen tip — Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms – UVA and UVB. Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation. Source: fda.gov. Walking for arthritis — Walking is so beneficial in fighting arthritis pain that it’s considered a natural medicine. Painful, stiff joints make it hard to get moving but moving is exactly what is needed for pain relief. For maximum benefits, you should try to walk at a moderate pace for at least 30 minutes every day. If 30 minutes is too much, start with less time and work up gradually.

Noble Optique opens in downtown Noblesville By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville residents now have a new source for independent glasses and frame makers. Noble Optique, a NEW BIZ unique eyewear boutique, recently opened at 840 Logan St. on the square in downtown Noblesville. Owners Mark and Kelly McCormack renovated the 1890s building to fit the optometry store’s needs, including space for a doctor to perform exams. Noble Optique offers exams, contact lenses and glasses. Mark McCormack said the only thing the business doesn’t offer is surgery. “What we offer is a lot of independent frame manufacturers,” Mark McCormack said. “We wanted to bring a more local, independent feel to Noblesville.” Some of the frame lines offered are Cocosong, Woow and Raen. Noble Optique doesn’t accept insurance but offers out-of-network reimbursement for patients. Mark McCormack said the business is “ultra-aggressive” on pricing. He said patients often pay lower prices after

being reimbursed. The eyewear business has a relaxation room with essential oils and a massage chair. “We want people to enjoy coming to the eye doctor and feel heard and seen and that their concerns are addressed,” Kelly McCormack said. The McCormacks eventually want to add a production room in the back of the building to stock lenses and produce them on-site. For more, visit nobleoptique.com.

DISPATCH Stocks benefit from cancer test breakthroughs — Amid the race to develop coronavirus tests, vaccines and treatments, many investors might overlook another realm of impressive medical breakthroughs. Molecular diagnostic firms are developing innovative blood tests that can detect many forms of cancer, some even at the earliest stages before cancerous cells mass together. In the past five years, genomic blood testing has become a $6 billion-a-year market, mostly driven

by tests such as “liquid biopsies” that allow patients with potentially cancerous tumors to avoid expensive and invasive surgery to remove sample tissue. Over the next decade, the diagnostics market is expected to soar to more than $50 billion annually as companies develop early-detection tests to screen asymptomatic patients for cancers. Three promising companies are Exact Sciences (EXAS), Guardant Health (GH) and Natera (NTRA). Source: BottomLineInc

Brawner to honor Ray Charles’ legacy in Palladium concert By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Kenny Brawner regards his show as something more than a tribute to Ray Charles. MUSIC “I call it a hybrid theater-concert piece where we actually play Ray’s music and tell the story,” Brawner said. “I go into character as Ray. I stay into character the whole show.” Brawner will perform “Ray On My Mind: The Ray Charles Story” at 8 p.m. March 25 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Brawner, a pianist-vocalist, will lead an 11-piece orchestra and three vocalists, similar to the Raelettes who sang with Charles, in performing some of Charles’ biggest hits. “The arrangements are very close to Ray’s arrangements,” said Brawner, who performs monologues to detail Charles’ journey. Brawner said trumpet player Roger Ingram, who will play in the Palladium performance, played with Charles for five years. “It’s a big orchestra sound,” Brawner said. Brawner started working on the Charles concerts in 2014. “Even in my own music, people say they can hear a little Ray Charles in everything I can do,” said Brawner, who usually played a couple of Ray Charles songs in his own concerts. Like Charles, Brawner is a Georgia native. “He was a big influence on my music growing up,” Brawner said. Brawner said the Charles concerts consume most of his schedule. “I’m going to Europe in the summer to do some blues festivals, just me and some Italian musicians I’ll be working with,” he said. Brawner said many of his shows were postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Since the fall, we’ve been working pretty steadily,” he said. Brawner’s Palladium performance marks the first time he has brought the show to central Indiana. He said the purpose is to keep Charles’ music alive. Ray Charles Jr. attended a recent performance of the show in California. “He came backstage, gave us his OK and took pictures with us,” Brawner said. “We had a lot of fun with him. He thought we did a great job and was pleased with the show.” Brawner attended several of Ray Charles’ concerts. “When I was 17, I went back to see if I could talk with him,” Brawner said. “I asked for an autograph, and he said, ’Son, I can’t write.’ I was a little bit embarrassed. To this day, I’m still embarrassed by that.” Charles, who died in 2004, was completely blind by age 7.

Brawner said one of his favorite Charles’ songs is “You Don’t Know Me.” “Every time I start that song, the audiences, no matter where we are, they always go in applause when I open up that song,” he said. “‘Georgia on my Mind’ gets the same response.” Brawner said Ray Charles Jr. said he appreciates the fact that Brawner plays many of his father’s older songs, such as “A Fool for You” and “Drown in My Own Tears.” The concert also includes favorites such as “I Got a Woman,” “What’d I Say” and “Baby it’s Cold Outside.” “We have a good time on stage,” Brawner said. “We project that to the audience and hope they are having a good time. I can say we have not had one show that bombed. We usually get a standing ovation at the end.” For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Vocalist Mark William had such a good time the first time he played Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel CONCERTS in August 2021 that he decided to return. “Everybody at the club is so wonderful and took such good care of us while we were there,” William said. “I had quite a few friends and family come to the show from Ohio, plus a good number of Indiana (residents). I had a wonderful time and I’m very much looking forward to being back.” William will perform his new show, “Mark William: Back With A Beat,” at 7:30 p.m. March 25-26 at Feinstein’s. “It does include a few favorites from the show I did last year, but there are quite a few new numbers,” William said. “There is even an original song that I wrote called ‘Wherever We Land.’ There are all those good classics but always through my youthful crooning lens.” William said the first show was grounded in classic Great American Songbook and Broadway songs. “This show, we step out a little. There

is plenty of that material but there is also a sprinkling of pop material of various decades,” William said. Some of the songs are “The Girl From Ipanema,” “The Look of Love,” “The Way of Love” and “On A Clear Day.” Andrew Morrissey and Charles Abbott are writing a new musical called Dorian’s “Wilde Affai,r” as in Oscar Wilde. William is co-writing the music and lyrics with Morrissey, and Abbott is the book writer and director. For more, visit feinsteinshc.com.

‘Flaming Idiots’ to provide comedic relief at playhouse By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Given what has been going on in the world the past two years amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Brian Nichols COMEDY wanted to provide laughs for audiences. So, he suggested he direct the comedy, “Flaming Idiots,” for Westfield Playhouse. “I directed this show before and I find it to be very funny,” said Nichols, who lives in the Castleton area of Indianapolis. “It was not in the Indianapolis area previously and I wanted to bring it here. It’s a farce. There’s lots of laughter and lots of craziness. I thought it would be great now as we’re coming on the other side of the pandemic. Whether it’s over or not, I don’t know, but just to have people laugh for a couple of hours, forget about the war in Ukraine and the heaviness of everything else going on, just come in here and laugh.” Main Street Productions will present “Flaming Idiots” from March 31 to April 10 at Westfield Playhouse. Nichols is making his Main Street Productions debut as a director. He previously was an assistant director for “The Main Who Shot Liberty Valance” in 2019 at Westfield Playhouse. The “Flaming Idiots” plot centers on two postal workers who want to open a restaurant. They borrow money from a mob associate to open it and realize they know nothing about the restaurant business, and it’s been empty. The owners figure restaurants where there has been a mob hit are always busy, so they stage a fake mob hit. Ethan Romba plays Phil, one of the owners. The other owner, Carl, is played by Austin Uebelhor. “It’s been a riot,” Romba said. “It’s a hilariously written story line. The dialogue is really funny. We have a great cast with the right people in each role.” This is the first show Romba has done in the Indianapolis area since moving from Chicago to Fishers in December 2021. The last production Romba, 31, was in was a student show at Northwestern University about 11 years ago. Romba learned about auditions for the show when he attended “Of Mice and Men” at Westfield Playhouse. “I feel blessed to get this part,” Romba said. “The biggest challenge is memorizing the lines. I have over 400 lines.”

Noblesville resident Eric Bowman plays a goofy 73-year-old hit man named Louie, who is losing his memory. At 48, Bowman is playing a character who is quite a bit older. “I enjoy the role because he has memory issues,” Bowman said. “It relieves a little tension of having to memorize the lines so much because if I forget something, it kind of fits in with the character. I got all the lines pretty well down. I have probably the third-largest role in it after the two main characters.” Bowman said it’s a fun role to play because he has to walk and talk like he is 25 years older than he actually is. “I started acting three years ago and haven’t stopped since,” he said. “I’ve been in 27 shows, both acting and production. Right now, I’m doing this show and running sound for ‘Alice in Wonderland’ at Duck Creek in Elwood, and then will be acting in ‘Sense and Sensibility’ at the Attic Theatre at Ivy Tech (in Noblesville). “I’ve always wanted to do something at Westfield Playhouse and I’ve worked with Brian a few times.” Bowman directed his first play in Shakespeare in the Park, and Nichols played a role. Bowman said this is his first full comedic role. “I’ve had roles that had comedic lines,” he said. A theater fan, Bowman said he wanted to give acting a try. “I’m actually a really shy person. My first few auditions I almost passed out on stage to try to do the cold reads,” Bowman said. “I had to sit down because I was lightheaded. I’m getting pretty good with accents. I don’t memorize quickly but I memorize pretty well. I have 130 lines in this one.”

I vowel to define vocalic Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt When I began college, I opted for the easiest science course I could find. This was the early 21st century, and online courses were a bit of a novelty. GRAMMAR GUY Enter yours truly, the science goof-off who decided to take “Volcanoes and Earthquakes (Online)” at the University of Oklahoma. I’ll skip the part about not doing any of the homework (since only the four tests counted toward our grades in the class), and let you know that I needed to get an “A” on the final to get a “C” in the class. I did it. I became a last-second master of all things volcanic. When I first saw the word “vocalic,” my brain saw the word “volcanic.” Especially now that I’m an expert in mountains blowing their tops, I like to unleash my volcanic wisdom on anyone walking by. In fact, “vocalic” has nothing to do with volcanoes; it is a word that relates to vowels. I want to stick to traditional vowels: a, e, i, o, and u. After all, in the Wordle era, we all want to master our vowel movements. A “univocalic” word is a word that contains only one of the vowels. It can have only one vowel, like in the word “ash,” or it can have one vowel used multiple times, like “lava” or “magma.” Did you know that the molten gooey stuff in a volcano is magma when it’s inside the volcano and is considered lava once it erupts? My favorite volcanic univocalic word is the Hawaiian word “aa” (or a’a). It precedes “aardvark” in the dictionary, which makes it one of the best words of all time. According to the U.S. Geological Society, aa is “a Hawaiian term for lava flows that have a rough rubbly surface composed of broken lava blocks called clinkers.” If a word has more than one of the vowels, we call it “plurivocalic.” Examples of plurivocalic words include volcano, erupt, tectonic and pumice. I hope you have learned something about vowels today. If tomorrow’s Wordle puzzle throws you a plurivocalic word, please try your best not to blow your lid.

A visit to historic Galena, Illinois Commentary by Don Knebel With spring upon us, we will explore places closer to home. Today, we visit Galena, Ill., 344 miles from TRAVEL Indianapolis. Galena, located along the Galena River in far northwestern Illinois, was named for its deposits of galena, a lead-bearing ore mined by Native Americans for more than 1,000 years. When European settlers discovered these deposits, they rushed to the area. By 1825, the town’s population had reached 10,000, roughly the same as Chicago’s. Mississippi riverboats traveling between St. Louis and St. Paul stopped in Galena for its exuberant nightlife along the river. In 1860, Ulysses S. Grant moved to Galena with his wife, Julia, to work in his father’s leather goods business. After commanding the victorious Union forces during the Civil War, Grant returned to Galena, where grateful Republican residents gave him a two-story brick house. Grant visited Galena often while serving as the 18th president but did not return when his second term ended in 1877. Today, Galena has a population of about

3,200. The house where Grant and his wife lived is a National Historic Landmark, providing guided tours. The grounds include a statue of Julia Grant, erected in 2006. Galena includes many other well-maintained Victorian homes built by steamboat captains and mining executives. The most visited is the 22-room Belvedere Mansion, built in 1857 by J. Russell Jones, a friend of Abraham Lincoln who championed Grant’s run for the presidency and became ambassador to Belgium. Beautifully maintained Grant Park, located along the Galena River, includes a 9-foot statue of Grant, erected in 1896, and a victory column honoring
