Noblesville, Fishers secure grant funding for Nickel Plate Trail By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville and the City of Fishers were selected as recipients of Indiana Dept. of Natural ReCONNECTIVITY sources Next Level Trails grants. Noblesville was awarded $3.1 million, and Fishers was awarded $4.5 million. The funds will be applied to increase connectivity between the cities by extending the Nickel Plate Trail north of Jensen 146th Street into Noblesville and south of 106th Street to the Fishers/ Indianapolis border. The City of Indianapolis also received funds to begin constructing its portion of the trail. In Noblesville, the funds will be used to complete the paved trail north from 146th Street to Pleasant Street in Noblesville. “That is our leg of the trail to Pleasant Street, where it will connect to the Midland Trace Trail and the Riverwalk to downtown Noblesville,” Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said. Construction on the Noblesville trail will begin in early 2023 and will be completed later that year. “We are really excited to continue the project from Fishers into downtown Noblesville,” Jensen said. Fishers will contribute $460,000 in matching funds for a total project cost of $3.6 million. “It’ll be a big cultural piece for us,” Jensen

said. “The Nickel Plate rail line has a lot of historical significance, and our No. 1 goal is to get the infrastructure down and pavement down to connect the communities.” Fishers received more than $4.5 million in grant money and will contribute approximately $900,000 in matching funds. A majority of Fishers’ funds will be used to extend the trail south from 106th Street to 96th Street, including a pedestrian bridge over 96th Street. Funds also will be used to construct a connecting trail from the Berkley Grove neighborhood to the Nickel Plate Trail near 106th Street. Any remaining funds will be used to enhance the trail with amenities, such as benches, garbage cans, water fountains and dog waste stations. When those items are funded, Fishers Director of Parks & Recreation Sarah Sandquist said the city will revert to the trail’s master plan to add trail enhancements, such as art installations and other amenities. Fishers also submitted plans for a trail gap at 131st Street but did not receive funds in this round of grant awards. Fishers Director of Engineering Jason Taylor said the city is already targeting other grants through the DNR to fund the gap. Taylor hopes to start the design process in the next few months. He said construction could begin as early as spring 2023 and be completed in one construction season. “We are extremely excited to partner with Indianapolis and Noblesville and that the DNR recognized the importance of this regional connectivity,” Taylor said. “We are ready to move forward.”

Where to park for the Noblesville Farmers Market By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Despite heavy construction activity in the former parking lot for the annual Noblesville Farmers Market, Noblesville EVENT Main Street Executive Director Kate Baker said the work won’t impact the market. The farmers market will operate from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday at Federal Hill Commons beginning May 7. Baker said the market layout won’t change, and vendors will be set up throughout the park. Although the parking lot is
closed, more than 400 parking spots are in the vicinity, including in a lot just west of Wendy’s. There is also a parking lot on the south side of Ind. 32 across from Federal Hill Commons. A police officer will help people cross the street. Market attendees should not park at the Kroger on Logan Street. Baker said the market will have three kids days: July 16, Aug. 13 and Sept. 17. The days are sponsored by Community First Bank. Art at the Market, where artists are invited to display their art, will be presented Aug. 6. The market will continue partnering in the SNAP program. Baker said the market
also partners with the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank. “The food bank comes every Saturday, post-market, and will do a pick-up of fresh produce and things to fill their pantry with,” Baker said. “Last year, thanks to the generosity of participating vendors, more than 8,400 pounds of produce were donated. That’s why I always say we are more than a farmers market, we are trying to make an impact on the community through things like kids days, through celebrating art, through helping food insecurity and be a source of change for that within our community.”

Protection against cyber risks Commentary by Swan Security Team Today, cybersecurity is more important than ever. Cybersecurity criminals are increasingly active, TECHNOLOGY and the risk of your business being compromised by a malicious attack is quite high. Bad actors will typically gain access to your network using a few basic techniques. Let’s look at the most common security attacks happening and how companies can minimize the risk of being hacked. Phishing Phishing attacks can vary, but they almost always involve one’s email inbox. These phishing emails contain malicious attachments or links that typically trigger the download of a script that assists hackers in gaining access to your environment. It can cause security breaches in your network, which can be easily exploited by malicious actors when they use it to steal valuable information such as employee’s personal information, customer’s information, credit card information, etc. What is the best way to prevent a phishing attack? Do not download attachments or follow links from someone you don’t know or from
whom you aren’t expecting anything. Typically, malicious actors send these kinds of phishing emails to many people within the organization, so if your colleagues received similar emails, there is a good chance that it is a phishing attack.

Stolen credentials Many applications and services require authentication through the submission of a pair of credentials. The most common form is an email address and password. How can one avoid having their credentials stolen? One important way to protect one’s credentials is to never use your work credentials or work email to log in to any nonwork-related services. Also, try not to use similar or exact passwords elsewhere. Credentials on different services, especially untrustworthy ones, can be easily stolen. This can compromise your business as well if you use the same or similar credentials. Using multi-factor authentication for your login can help avoid this form of cyberattack. Many great services can help a company implement multi-factor authentication such as requiring approval from smartphones as a second factor in authentication.

Noblesville’s Guy Griffey, a senior at Hamilton Heights High School, is one of 16 Hoosier students set to receive ACHIEVEMENT a $1,000 college scholarship from the Central Indiana chapter of the National Football Foundation. The award will be presented at the chapter’s May 15 annual Student Athlete Banquet. The event will be held at the Primo South Banquet Hall in Indianapolis. “It’s the cream of the crop of these kids. Most are at least in the top 5 percent or 10 percent of their class,” NFF board member Terry Coyle of Carmel said of the winners, Griffey has made his mark for the Huskies on the field and in the classroom. The quarterback led Hamilton Heights to a 6-4 record this fall, the first winning season for the Huskies in six years. He passed for a career-high 1,500 yards and accounted for 18 touchdowns, 16 through the air. Griffey, the son of Matt and Julie Griffey, excels in his studies, too. He ranks in the top 10 percent of his class academically. Nominations for the scholarship are made by the student-athlete’s football coach. In his recommendation letter, Hamilton Heights head football coach Jon Kirschner said of Griffey, “He’s the guy in the room you turn to for how it should be done. Guy’s drive brings his peers in the class up. People in class look up to him as someone to emulate when it comes to the definition of work ethic, dedication, charisma, and success in the weight room, on the field and in the classroom. Another strength of Guy’s comes in his ability to articulate to others his thoughts, on leadership, sports, school, etc.” The selection criteria are based equally on academic talent, community involvement

and athletic ability. Nomination forms are sent to athletic directors and head football coaches at 120 high schools in central Indiana. The National Football Foundation’s mission is to use amateur football as a vehicle to develop academic excellence, leadership and sportsmanship in America’s youth.

During that time, the organization has awarded $22 million in scholarships. Indiana has three NFF chapters – Central Indiana, Southern Indiana and the Joe Tiller chapter at Purdue. Sponsorship opportunities, including the title sponsor, and tickets to the event are still available. For details, please reach out to Terry Coyle.

Mow less, feed pollinators more Commentary by Meredith McCutcheon Sometimes, helping the world feels like it takes a lot of time and effort. But did you know there is a way ENVIRONMENT to help the environment by doing nothing? People and communities around the nation are adopting a new initiative to help pollinators called No Mow May, where they wait until after May to mow their yards. The principle behind No Mow May is that the less you mow your yard, the more food there is for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. This is especially beneficial in May, when pollinators rely on spring wildflowers for food after a long winter that has depleted their stores. In Appleton, Wis., in 2020, 435 property owners participated in the first U.S. No Mow May, and researchers found that their yards had five times more bees than yards that did not participate. The initiative is not only simple but also timely. Bee populations have plummeted worldwide the past 16 years in what has been named “colony collapse disorder.” The loss of pollinators may have a large
impact on food security in the future. In addition to flowers and trees, more than three out of four food crops across the globe depend, at least in part, on pollinators. If you would like to help pollinators by doing less, you don’t have to restrict yourself to May. Reduce the amount you mow your lawn throughout the summer — ideally to once or twice a month. Of course, if you are a member of a homeowners’ association, you may need to start by convincing your neighbors. If your HOA is worried, there are cute yard signs available online that say things like, “Pardon the weeds, we are feeding the bees!” The facts about pollinators and the environment can help. Check out the Carmel Green Initiative website or Google No Mow May to get started. If you can convince the whole neighborhood, no one yard will stand out.

Dad’s decision proved right for Westfield softball player By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School senior Avery Parker was a bit forced to trade in her pompoms. “I was a cheerleader until I was 10,” Parker said. “My dad picked me up from a tumbling class and handed me a mitt and said I was going to play softball.” It proved to be the right decision as Parker is headed to play softball for Indiana University on scholarship. Parker had two major goals, one personal and one team, entering the 2022 season. She has already smashed her personal goal of breaking the school’s all-time home run record of 25. She has nine already to give her 28 in her career. Now, she just has to get her team goal of breaking the school’s single-season record for wins, which is 16. As of April 25, the Shamrocks were 9-4 and 2-1 in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference. Through the first 13 games, Parker was hitting .526 with 28 runs batted in. “All around as a team we’ve been doing better than we have in past years,” she

homers as a freshman. The 2020 season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parker said she was recruited by IU as a catcher and to play at the corners in the infield. “I love catching, but honestly, I like play-
ing everywhere,” she said. The 5-foot-9 Parker said her biggest improvement has been an increase in power. “I’ve built up strength as I’ve gotten older, so I’ve hit the ball harder,” she said. “A lot of balls I hit that would have been flyouts have turned into home runs. Line drives that would have been groundouts have turned into doubles and triples. My speed has developed more. When I get on base, I like to steal bases.” Parker said playing travel softball with Indiana Magic Gold has helped her see more pitchers with speed. “In travel softball, we play some Power 5 Division I commits, so they throw some heat,” she said. Parker said she has always wanted to play in the Big Ten and IU seemed like a great fit. “I know (IU’s coaches) are going to develop me in the best way,” said Parker, who plans to major in psychology and wants to become a forensic psychologist. Her brother, Aidan Parker, is a 2020 WHS graduate and an offensive lineman for Youngstown State University’s football team.

COVER STORY
Current in Noblesville currentnoblesville.com
Noblesville Square helps smaller, unique businesses grow By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Wild Bohemian Boutique had a modest beginning at Noblesville Farmers Market. “Then we started doing music festivals and pop-ups before we opened the brick-and-mortar store,” owner Allison Behr said. “We were looking for a historical downtown, homey feel, and that’s definitely what attracted (Noblesville Square) to us. I wasn’t interested in a mall. Everyone always tells us there is a feeling when they walk in the store. It’s a happy place. It’s kind of like you are walking into an extended closet is what we get told all the time by women.” Behr, a Noblesville resident, opened the store six years ago at 84 S. Ninth St. Wild Bohemian Boutique had been in business for four years before finding the location on Noblesville Square, which includes many unique stores and is part of a state-designated arts district. Behr said she searched for a while before getting the spot she wanted. “We were in the same building but we were around the corner in a small unit for a year,” she said. “Before that, we were in a booth in the Logan Village Mall. There is nothing like the feeling you can get shopping in person. We try to cater to all body types, which is hard to find in boutiques. It helps when so many body types can shop in a store.”
bring it out to their cars if they want. We’re really trying to grow our online store, especially because that’s the way of the world now. We have an app that we encourage people to use. Most of our sales are in-store. Our growth has been steady.” Behr said the store aims to be trendy but with a Bohemian twist. “It’s kind of hippie and free-spirited but there is still stuff you can wear on a daily basis,” Behr said. “The cool thing about the apparel is we have very unique items that you are not going to find in a shopping mall, but we also have brands that people will recognize like Free People, a higher-end hippie line. We carry that, too. Price ranges are super affordable to top-of-the-price line. I do all the buying for the shop. I feel like 80 percent of our items are from another small business or a business that gives back when you buy their products, so that’s important to us. We work with a company that gives back to their missions in Haiti. We have small artisans that we buy their jewelry from. “We try to do most of our gifting stuff from other small businesses and support them.” For more, visit wildbohemian.com.

Behr said the store ships all across the U.S. The shop is primarily an apparel store, but jewelry and gifts are available. “We also have a local pick-up option,” Behr said. “We’ll

LANDING A KEY NOBLESVILLE SQUARE SPOT Unlike The Wild Bohemian, Vintage Adventures co-owners Chris and Amie Knuckles hadn’t even started searching when a location on Noblesville Square became available. Vintage Adventures, is scheduled to open May 5 into a location at 823 Conner St. A grand opening is set for May 6. Chris said most of the business started online through Etsy and a couple other places. “We had two booth spaces in Logan Square Mall for the last year and a half,” Chris said. “We got a following over there and the demand got higher for what we do.” Chris said only certain items could be sold on Etsy because they’re all handmade on the platform. “So, if you don’t make it, you are not supposed to sell it on there,” Chris said. “We had some other products we sold at Logan Village that we could not put on Etsy. We created a big following. So, we made the decision to open a space on our own and expand to get a better a local presence.” Chris said they had been thinking about finding their own space, but hadn’t looked into it much. Then, the space on the square became available in January. “That made the decision for us,” Chris said. “You don’t

get the chance too often for the space on the square to open up. We pulled the trigger and then figured out what we do after that. It’s hard to beat having a retail space on
the square. Our downtown community is amazing. Noblesville Main Street is so supportive of local businesses and artists in general.” Amie said custom wood wall art is what the store usually makes. “Our shop is going to be a home décor shop,” Amie said. “We make hand-painted earrings and hand-poured candles. Most of our stuff are artisan-type items.” Amie said the couple had regular jobs and that creating items began as a hobby when they remade furniture. “We opened up an Etsy an shop during the COVID-19 pandemic when Chris lost his job,” Amie said. “The Etsy shop almost went viral about a year-and-a-half or two years ago. The point of us opening a shop on the square is to create a showroom and have a local presence in downtown Noblesville where we have a lot of clients. It centers around our wall art. The artwork is the predominant thing we sell.” Debby Rogers, Amie’s mother, and Zack Knuckles, the couple’s son, works in the shop along with two other artist employees, Karah Wells and Tori LeMond. Amie is a part-time nurse. For more, visit Vintage Adventures page on Facebook.

ESSAY
HUMOR
Grab a cab?
Depths of pain and death
Commentary by Terry Anker “Your driver will arrive in two minutes,” says the trusty app on our phones. How wonderfully convenient. In fact, the screen also points to the live location of the vehicle, its general appearance and license plate number. Moreover, it tells us, with eerie specificity, that our ride is now “400 feet from us.” Terrific, we’ll soon be on our way, secure in our confidence of the marvels of modern technology and maybe just a bit smug in the wonders that we have delivered upon this good Earth. But the vehicle has not moved from its spot 400 feet away for five minutes now, then seven, then 10. The application allows for a text we send to the driver with a basic inquiry, “We’re here and ready, is all well there?” A few slow minutes pass. Now, we call. Naturally, the call is unanswered. Moments later, the car disappears from our screen. The transportation service offers to get us another ride in only 15-minutes. Instead, we board a waiting taxi and are on our way. As the cab is nearing our destination, a phone notification, in an odd delay, informs us that Jane canceled our earlier trip, no apology just a restatement of the obvious fact. Then, an email arrives from the rideshare company with a bill for “our” failure to complete the transport and an admonishment that we be more responsible. Then, in a multistage process with countless drop-down menus and new logins, the company says that they will refund our money because their “system investigated this issue and resolved as per (their) policy.” Do we thank them for returning money to us that they wrongly took? Do they thank us for our wasted time? Do we challenge our positive impression of the “gig” economy? Or do we simply take a taxi?

Friends, I’ve had a rather sleepless week, mostly from dealing with what I’m positive is a broken arm, but also from learning all the ways scuba can kill me. Let’s explore! First, I’ve self-diagnosed a stress fracture somewhere in my right shoulder. Based on extensive online research, including but not limited to Web MD and Wikipedia, discussions with co-workers and family members, none of whom are medical professionals, and my own anatomical intuition, I’m 80 percent confident I’ve suffered a break. It was probably back in February while doing stupid burpees or a HIIT workout without warming up properly (stretching is for the weak!). It’s continued to worsen, and now I have difficulty writing on the chalkboard, reaching over to smack my husband Doo when he’s snoring, and lifting anything heavier than my phone. I can’t get in to see a doctor until midMay, so I’m going with the broken arm theory until proven wrong. And I’m telling everyone about it. Ad nauseam. When I’m not flinching from the acute pain of turning onto my stomach at night, I’m wondering why on earth I decided to become dive certified. I mean, sure, I’ve always wanted to learn, and I did turn 50 this year – YOLO – but sweet mother, who knew how easy it was to get a brain embolism or to poison yourself with nitrogen or simply disappear in the vast ocean surrounded by jellyfish and woman-eating predators? I’m completing the online course, and every other slide is basically, “You might die!” Doo, unfortunately, offers little in the way of reassurance: “Yeah, you might.” In summary, it’s been a fairly sleepless week. Peace out.

DISPATCHES Indiana among least likely to tolerate impaired employees — Have you ever been tempted to have a drink while on the clock? In a professional workplace, it may be ‘gross misconduct’ and could lead to immediate dismissal without the option to collect unemployment. Most private companies are not mandated by law to have drugfree workplace policies; however, there are exceptions. Workers in safety and security-sensitive industries, as well as federal employees are required to maintain sobriety in the workplace under the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. DrugAbuse.com conducted a survey of 3,700 employers across the U.S., asking them to rank their tolerance of intoxication in the workplace from 1 to 10 (1 being the most tolerant and 10 being the least). The survey revealed that overall, employers in the state of Indiana are among the least tolerant of drunk or high employees, with a ranking of 5/10. Employers in Connecticut, Maine and Nebraska were found to be the most tolerant of employee intoxication with an average tolerance ranking of 3/10. The survey also delved into different industries to find out which are most and least tolerant when it comes to being intoxicated on the job. Employers in the banking and real
estate industry were found to be equally tolerant (2/10). Source: DrugAbuse.com Finding at-home jobs — For job seekers wanting to work from home, the internet is full of scams. There are so many spam postings that it’s tiring to sort through them for legitimate opportunities. Two websites do a pretty good job of screening their postings. Flexjobs.com does charge a small fee, about $50 per year to access its database of listings. RatRaceRebellion.com is free to but is fairly legitimate. Source: BottomLineInc.com New car replacement insurance — Typical insurance policies only pay a depreciated value for your car if it’s totaled in an accident. Recent ads offering full replacement cost are very common. They don’t, however, tell the whole story. Full replacement cost coverage will increase your premium by at least 15 percent and is only good for a limited time period, or specific number of miles. It might not be worth the extra premiums given the chance of totaling your car is less than 1 percent in a year. Source: BottomLine.com

Feinstein, Patty to share Palladium stage By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Michael Feinstein has been eager to have singer Sandi Patty join him again in person. CONCERT Feinstein and Patty performed a free virtual concert featuring holiday music in November 2020 amid the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We did a live concert a number of years ago and I was thrilled she wanted to do another one together because she is a wonderful person in addition to being an exquisite talent,” Feinstein said. An Evening with Michael Feinstein with special guest Sandi Patty is set for 8 p.m. May 7 at the Palladium at the Center for Performing Arts in Carmel. Feinstein, the Center’s artistic director, typically performs at least one concert per season. Feinstein said he and Patty will each perform a set of songs and then sing some duets. “I’ll be doing some Gershwin selections from my new recording,” Feinstein said. “I’ve got some new things I’ve been working on, a couple of new routines, some classics and some more contemporary things. I like to mix it up and bring different things to each show for those who might have seen me before (so they) can hear something that is new.” Feinstein said the show contains incredible pieces of music. “I always try to find something that will be fresh for everyone, so it’s always new,” he said. Feinstein’s latest album, “Gershwin Country,” featuring duets with a variety of stars, was released in mid-March. “One of the things that made it unique was recording it in Nashville with a Nashville band,” Feinstein said. “Then tailoring each duet to the individual personalities from Dolly Parton to Brad Paisley, Lyle Lovett, Alison Krauss, each one was tailored to that specific voice,” Feinstein said. “I’ll probably do those songs solo unless Sandi likes one of the duets and wants to do them in a performance.

haven’t discussed that.” Feinstein last performed at the Palladium with Melissa Manchester in May 2021. Feinstein said his schedule has picked up in the last few months as the pandemic has eased. “Performances have resumed and that’s been wonderful,” he said. “I’ve done a couple of shows at Carnegie Hall and been in Florida several times with different symphonies. I haven’t been back to full schedule because depending on the geographical location, some people are more or less reticent about coming out. Audiences in some places have been smaller until people feel totally comfortable about going out again for live music. It varies from place to place.” Feinstein’s cabaret at Hotel Carmichael had its grand opening in May 2021. He has similar clubs in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Feinstein said each club has acts that draw better crowds than others. “In Feinstein’s club in San Francisco, we’ve learned an equal balance of local
talent mixed with international talent works best in this place,” he said. “With Feinstein’s at the Carmichael, we are still discovering what audiences like to see in the room, even though the many great performers we’ve brought in from New York and LA have done well. With our goal being serving the community and sharing the breadth of talent that is local, the balance is still being worked out.” Feinstein said one of the things he loves about the room at the Carmichael is that it was created from scratch as a nightclub and is not a space that was transformed from something else into a nightclub. “All of my friends who have come to play the room have been agog at the beauty of the place and comfort of performers on stage,” Feinstein said. “I think it will grow as more and more people experience it. I think once people are in the room, I would wager they want to come back and experience it many more times. At least, I hope so.” For more on the May 7 concert, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Cool Creek Concert Series returns
Center lands popular acts
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
The Cool Creek Summer Concert Series will offer an even mix of old and new in its 2022 schedule. MUSIC “Three of this year’s six musical acts will be new to the Cool Creek Concerts stage — Fleetwood Gold, The Nauti Yachtys featuring Josh Kaufman, and Stella Luna and The Satellites,” said Don Nicholls, Hamilton County Parks resource development specialist. “All in all, Hamilton County Parks is extremely excited about this year’s stellar lineup of musical artists and, of course, the fun activities that are staged in the park in conjunction with the concert performances.” Kaufman, a Carmel resident, was the Season 6 winner of “The Voice” on NBC in 2014. Nicholls said he likes the fact that the series has a unique variety and is adding a tribute band. The 28th year of the Friday night series kicks off June 17 with The Flying Toasters at Cool Creek Park, 2000 E. 151st St. The series follows with Fleetwood Gold, June 24; Toy
The Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeffrey C. McDermott saw the need for more balancing CONCERTS programming at the Palladium, the Carmel venue’s 1,600-seat concert hall. “About five years ago or so, we felt we needed to step up the more commercial revenue-driving shows we were booking here,” McDermott said. “We would bring in all sorts of world-class shows that I would call mission shows, classical, jazz, songbook or international, great talents and great artists who weren’t necessarily well-known but part of our mission to bring great music and great artists to our venue. “The challenge was, without some higher revenue-producing and commercially viable artists, it’s hard to maintain that mission.” There have been some big draws like Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr., Weird Al Yankovic, Diana Ross, Sheryl Crow and Steve Martin and Martin Short.

said the 2021-22 season might have created the biggest buzz with attracting John Legend, who performed Oct. 20, 2021, and Sting, whose concert is set for May 8. Both concerts sold out quickly after public sales began. McDermott said the Center wanted to book Sting for more than one night, but his schedule was already filled. McDermott said Sting and Legend likely could have sold out multiple nights. McDermott said some of the more popular ticket-selling acts are added after the season is announced. “A lot of the more commercial artists might book four or five months in advance,” McDermott said. “They have to be touring in this area and we have to have the opening at the same time. It’s the combination of art, science and a little luck.” McDermott praised the contributions of Dan Kemer, who was named the vice president of programming in June 2021. Kemer, a Carmel resident who has been a vice president of Live Nation Entertainment in the Midwest, stepped into the role when Doug Tatum retired from the position.

THE BLUEPRINT • White perimeter cabinets brighten the space and provide a more modern appeal, while wood tones accent the expanded island. • The matte white brick backsplash provides a delicate texture contrast to the sleek quartz countertops. • A device-charging drawer, knife block drawer and warming drawer improve functionality. • The custom cabinets extend to the ceiling, providing additional storage and display space. • Timeless finishes, like polished nickel cabinet hardware, elevate the kitchen’s aesthetic.

Let’s talk baby talk Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
Ouiatenon Park blockhouse in West Lafatette. (Photo by Don Knebel)
A brief history of Fort Ouiatenon Commentary by Don Knebel Fort Ouiatenon Park in West Lafayette includes a reconstructed fort that is inaccurate in its design and location, TRAVEL but nonetheless remembers an important historical site. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, Weas, a subtribe of the Miami Nation, established a village along the south bank of the Wabash River 4 miles southwest of what is now West Lafayette. In 1717, the French established a fortification named “Ouiatenon” (Wee ot teh non) across the river from the Weas. The fort became the center of fur trading, and French settlers built homes around the fort, the first European settlement in what is now Indiana. In 1761, during the French and Indian War, British forces captured Ouiatenon. Two years later, Native American forces organized by Ottawa Chief Pontiac captured Ouiatenon. A 1765 meeting between Native Americans and the British at Ouiatenon resulted in a peace treaty. Weas later used Ouiatenon for organizing attacks against settlers. In 1791, President George Washington ordered the total destruction of Ouiatenon and the Wea village. In 1909, the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a marker where they believed the French fort had stood. In 1929, Richard Wetherill, a wealthy Lafayette physician, historian and philanthropist, donated the riverfront land that surrounded the marker to the Tippecanoe County Historical Association. In 1930, he financed construction of a wooden blockhouse on the site. The area around the blockhouse, including a boat ramp and pavilions, became Fort Ouiatenon Park. In the late 1960s, archae-
My wife and I welcomed our third baby last week. Our baby boy is happy and healthy; his parents are happy and tired. Please send GRAMMAR GUY caffeine. During the nightly brain fog induced by our new “feed-change-cuddle-repeat” cycle, I’ve been thinking about a few baby-related language rules. Please excuse me if any spit-up gets on this column. Is “baby” ever a proper noun? Unless your stage name is DaBaby, the short answer is “no.” Baby is a common noun, just the same as lamp, tree and stroller are common nouns. The only instance in which “baby” becomes proper is when the word is used as a name. For instance, “Baby Sinclair” is the name of a character from the early 1990s sitcom “Dinosaurs.” How do you express something a baby owns or possesses (other than my heart when he wraps his perfect, tiny fingers around my pinky)? That certainly depends on the context. If one baby owns a thing or things, use
“baby’s”: My baby’s pacifier got lost in his car seat. That baby’s lung capacity is exceptional. The word “babies” on its own indicates more than one baby: The babies went through an entire crate of diapers last week. As a child, I enjoyed the cartoon “Muppet Babies.” Those politicians are acting like a bunch of babies. When multiple babies possess or own a thing or multiple things, use babies’: The babies’ strollers each got a new neon green paint job. The babies’ father had his hands full. It’s a daunting task to take on the responsibility for a new life, especially given the various levels of disarray in our nation and world. I do take solace, however, that my baby’s first word will no doubt be uttered in honor of his favorite absolute person in the entire world: mama. .

Park historical marker.
ologists discovered the actual location of Ouiatenon, about a mile west of the park, which was named a National Historic Landmark in 2021. Historians also determined that Wetherill’s blockhouse is of British rather than French design. Despite these inaccuracies, every early autumn Fort Ouiatenon Park hosts the very popular Feast of the Harvest Moon, reenacting the annual fall gatherings between the French and Weas at Ouiatenon.
