Noblesville Common Council hears public’s concerns on Beaver Materials proposal By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council listened to petitioner Beaver Materials, experts on water resources and DEVELOPMENT real estate and concerned residents for more than two hours during a June 14 public hearing for the Beaver Materials rezone request for property northwest of 191st Street and Allisonville Road. The petition proposes an expansion to Potter’s Bridge Park in collaboration with the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. after a five-year sand and gravel extraction process in the area. A residential component also is planned. The council will vote on the project at its June 28 meeting. If approved, the project would eventually expand Potter’s Bridge Park by approximately 50 acres. Ten acres would be donated to the park immediately after approval. When Beaver Materials finishes extracting the site, the additional 40 acres would be donated to the park. A little more than 8 acres would be used for a residential development. The remaining land would be donated to Hamilton County Parks Dept. to develop as park land. The public hearing was the council’s first introduction to the proposal, which was forwarded with an unfavorable recommendation from the plan commission last month in a 7-3 vote. INTERA, an environmental and water resource consulting firm, was commissioned by Beaver Materials to complete a water study for the area. Beaver Materials would be responsible for installing two or more wells upstream of wells already in place that provide water from the White River for residential use. The new wells would be designed to catch contaminants soon enough for remediation before contaminated water reached wells for residential use. INTERA research hydrologist Jack Wittman told council members that after further studying the area, the environmental risk is low. William Otto Spencer, who owns a real estate company, told the council the extraction process would not harm property values in the area. Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. Director Chris Stice also presented, outlining the five phases of

the park plan, which would add a canoe and kayak launch, art trails and other amenities. “Hamilton County is in a critical state for parkland,” Stice said. “We need more parkland as we continue to develop our community.” At a recent meeting, the Hamilton County Commissioners unanimously voted to support the proposal and committed to fund the development of the park area. Hamilton County Council members issued a letter of support for the project. Some residents still weren’t pleased with the proposal. Many spoke against it during the public hearing, saying the proposal didn’t fit zoning requirements for the area and expressing concerns about the risk to water quality, health risks associated with silica dust, traffic safety and inconsistency with the overall proposal. Rachel Walker, a principal geologist with Mundell & Associates, voiced concerns with the project. Mundell & Associates is the contractor that assesses new wellfield construction in Marion County. Walker said mine pit design details were lacking for the project, spill management details were lacking and — despite the installment of sentinel wells that could limit the impact of a toxic release into the water — they would not prevent a release. Resident Kevin Moloney said the size of the excavation site has been inconsistent, having been proposed as 12 acres and 30 acres. “They seem to not have a handle on the most important detail of their own project,”

he said. “Or they’re leaving it intentionally fuzzy.” Moloney also accused Beaver Materials of engaging in a “quid pro quo” with the parks department. “Beaver Materials wants to trade land for an ordinance,” he said. “They call it a donation, but what they’re seeking is a quid pro quo or a pay to play.” After Moloney’s presentation, Noblesville’s city attorney Jonathan Hughes said there was nothing illegal about negotiations between Beaver Materials and the parks department. Only three people spoke in favor of the proposal. They were Hamilton County Council member Brad Beaver and two employees of William Otto Spencer Real Estate. At the end of the public hearing, Beaver Materials President Chris Beaver, a Noblesville resident, told the council he believed he was doing the best thing for the Noblesville community. He said sand and gravel extracted from the site wouldn’t cover costs of the process but wanted to help the city establish a quality park. He said he personally bought the land so that the company would not lose money on it. “I realized then there was a calling in my heart that I could do something that could change this park to be the best park in the state of Indiana,” Beaver said. “I personally would not do anything that would hurt anybody in this town. I am very passionate about this city and the county, and I have shown that in many ways.” For more, visit cityofnoblesville.org.

Foundation conducts inaugural fundraiser By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield resident Rick Poplin learned he was going deaf and blind at age 35 when he was diagnosed with Usher EVENT syndrome Type 2. Usher syndrome is a condition characterized by partial or total hearing and vision loss that worsens over time. Now 43, Poplin no longer drives. Everyday tasks are more difficult. But he is using his experience to help others as resource chair of the Foundation Fighting Blindness Indianapolis Chapter. “My whole world was rocked,” he said. “I wanted to find out current research and stuff like that and I couldn’t really find it from my doctor. Some of the in-the-trenches stuff you can never find. That’s what got me connected to the Foundation. It’s an opportunity to speak to people all over the world.” Foundation Fighting Blindness was founded in 1971. The Indianapolis chapter was established last year. The foundation’s goal is to drive the research that would lead to preventions, treatments and vision res-

toration for the spectrum of degenerative retinal diseases. “(Researchers) are isolating the genes and finding cures or ways to bring light back into people’s dark worlds,” Poplin said.

“It is really nice to see that. For me, (seeing the research) was big because as a person, as a patient who is already suffering from a degenerative retinal disease with no cure, it’s comforting.” The Indianapolis chapter will conduct its inaugural fundraiser, Birdies Fore the Blind, June 30 at Ironwood Golf Club in Fishers. The event will raise money for the chapter and its initiatives. Poplin said before his diagnosis, he was extremely active and enjoyed playing basksetball. He hasn’t driven a vehicle in eight years since his diagnosis. “So, that’s kind of a bummer,” he said. “Day to day, I have my family, my seeing-eye people. They really do a good job supporting me and getting me where I need to go. I move forward just like any other person. I have bruises and cuts all over my shins from running into things. I don’t have peripheral vision. It’s like looking through a straw.” Foundation Fighting Blindness Indianapolis chapter President Angie Kirchoff said community is very important for people with vision loss. Kirchoff was diagnosed

with retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited degenerative disease, at age 32. Now 59, she’s starting to experience the effects of her disease. She was paired with Abbie, a black Lab guide dog, in 2021. “My interest in the foundation is to try and find a cure for this disease,” she said. “The foundation is the world’s leading driving influence behind research and funding for clinical trials to find cures for various types of retinal diseases.” Kirchoff was asked by the Foundation Fighting Blindness engagement manager in Chicago if she would serve as president of the new Indianapolis chapter. Kirchoff immediately said yes. “Our biggest mission is to reach out to this area to those who are affected by retinal disease and provide support,” she said. “We are at the forefront of research and know what type of clinical research is being done for them. Our ultimate goal is to provide a mentor relationship for them, help them find resources in the area that can help them and also give them a source to go to for genetic testing.” For more, visit fightingblindness.org.

Entrepreneur plans restaurant By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tobi Mares was inspired to create a picnic basket business after moving to Carmel. “I moved here from a town GROWTH where there was never anything to do,” she said. “Carmel for me, after being in Decatur (Ill.), is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.” Mares, 47, moved after meeting her husband, Brad Mares, in Decatur. Brad Mares is from Decatur, too, but was living in Carmel. “We’ve been together ever since the day we met, which is a miracle,” she said. “We dated for about a year, and I moved over here.” One night after her move, the couple attended a Symphony on the Prairie concert at Conner Prairie. “People were carrying plastic Kroger bags, and I had this elaborate picnic I made for us, because it was a big event to me,” Mares said. “I made this picnic basket, which I did hundreds of times growing up in a town with nothing to do. I had people ask me about it (at the concert). So, I started making baskets for my girlfriends.” In 2017, she developed a concept to create pre-filled picnic baskets as a business called Goodness Gracious. “I really created a customized picnic experience like we had generations before,” she said. “I try to preserve the past through food and tradition.” The baskets weren’t Mares’ first foray into the restaurant business. Her mother

had worked in the food service industry in Decatur, and Mares began working in restaurants at age 15. Now, Mares is ready to branch out beyond her catering business and open her own restaurant. Goodness Gracious Kitchen and Cupboard, which has approximately 1,600 square feet, will be at 1030 Range Line Rd. in the Turner James building. The target date for opening is late August or early September. Mares said she and Turner Woodard, who owns the Turner James building, have similar visions of preserving the past. Breakfast and lunch will be available seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more, visit ilovegoodnessgracious. com.

SEASONAL RHYTHMS Tobi Mares assembles her picnic baskets at Broccoli Bill’s in Noblesville. She said up to six seasonal employees help her with preparation and delivery. Her picnic portion of the business usually starts on National Picnic Day, which is April 23. Naturally, it begins to pick up in late May and can run through September. “We’re a bike-friendly community and picnic-friendly, because someone is always at our parks,” Mares said. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mares began making wellness baskets for those who were sick. “I would do doorstep drop-offs of homemade broth,” she said. “I had a woman frantically call me from Florida worried about her son who lived by himself and had COVID. Through the peaks of COVID, I was very busy.”

Mares, who also creates charcuterie boards, plans to franchise the picnic side of her business. She has interested parties in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., and Naples, Fla. “They just found me and loved my picnic basket,” she said. “I’m working with a franchise coach. It’s an easy startup for someone.” Carmel resident Susan Flener has used Goodness Gracious for a variety of events, including a retirement celebration, a teachers appreciation lunch at a private preschool, a baby shower for 50 people and an end-of-year teacher party. Next up, she has Goodness Gracious booked for a bridal shower. “I don’t think about anyone else, I go right to her,” Flener said. “She’s amazing. She gives you all the choices.”

NHS boys soccer team boasts 5 Division I signees By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School boys soccer coach Ken Dollaske understands the talent his team had last season. SPORTS After all, the Millers captured the Class 3A state title Oct. 30, 2021, beating Carmel 3-1 in the final. Noblesville finished with a 20-1-1 record, with the only loss coming to an out-of-state team, Cleveland St. Ignatius. Five of those 2022 NHS graduates will play NCAA Division I soccer. “To have five of them go on, and three play for the same school, is just super impressive,” Dollaske said. Goalie Gabe Ingle, defender Brady Horn and forward Spencer Holland are going to play at IUPUI. Forward Palmer Ault will play for Butler University while midfielder Brayden Doll is headed to the University of Evansville. “It’s extremely special because you don’t have scenarios like this very often,” Ingle said. “It’s great to even have two but we have five and that really showed our dominance.” Ingle said it was a bit surprising that

three of the Millers ended up at IUPUI. “Spencer, Brady and I have always fiddled with the idea of playing together but never thought it would end up being all three of us,” he said. “It’s great that I’m able to continue playing with my brothers that I’ve been playing with since we were 8 years old.” Ingle said most of the seniors have played together since age 8, which has made chemistry easier. “Now with our talent, I believe that we were one of the most dominant and talented teams in Indiana high school soccer

history,” Ingle said. Doll, the Class 3A Mental Attitude Award winner, agreed it was special to have five Division I signees on one team. “But I don’t think it’s surprising it was our group,” he said. “The last few seasons before last fall were disappointing. We came up short from what the main goal was but that made it all the sweeter to cap off our senior year.” Dollaske said the five going on to play at a high level in college is attributed to the players’ dedication to playing high school soccer instead of opting for the MLS

Academy. “Some think the MLS Academy is the only way to get recruited for college,” he said. “These five kids were dedicated to playing high school soccer with their friends and realizing high school was also a way they could be seen, they could get recruited and they could ultimately go on to play at the next level. They are shining examples that there are multiple ways to get to college soccer.” Ault, the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association Player of the Year, and Holland signed in the fall. Horn, Ingle and Doll signed in the spring. “They are such a close-knit group, and they are able to push each other to be better, which is why we have so many seniors going on to play college soccer,” Dollaske said. Dollaske said IUPUI will play Oct. 8 at Butler. “I texted the four guys that I’d love to be there at their game, but that’s the date of sectional championships,” he said. “So, hopefully, I get to coach in a sectional championship but watch from afar when Butler gets to play IUPUI. They’re going from teammates to opponents, which I think is pretty cool.”

NOBLESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL CELEBRATES GRADUATION

2011 DADillac For Sale On March 17, 2022, our dad was called home to begin his eternal life free of pain and illness. What he left behind was a family who loved him, friends that will miss him and a legacy of memories that we can never forget. One of his items for which we are seeking a new home is his car that he cherished. He owned a 2011 Cadillac DTS which was his pride and joy. Having grown up and raised his family in a town dominated by General Motors, his goal was to “Climb the Ladder” as he would say regarding the GM family of cars. In the 1960s, he kept the garage occupied with Chevys and Pontiacs. In 1973, he graduated to Oldsmobiles, and they dominated the rest of the ‘70s. Always, he kept his eye on the Cadillac one day being the ultimate prize. Then, in 1985 he made it to the top when he was able to buy a used 1982 Eldorado. From that day forward, the only car he steered was a Cadillac. He liked the big ones, primarily Sedan Deville because, “You are always safer in a big car.” He liked to run them through car washes regularly because “A clean car always seems to run better.” We have had his 2011 DTS Sedan checked out by a master technician and a local tire store in Carmel. Both said that this would be a good used car for anyone looking for size and a little old-school styling. Includes Dad’s 2006 Rand McNally Road Atlas at no additional cost.

years and started its summer program in early June. The class meets once a week for three hours and is presented entirely on Zoom. Evans is quick to point out it is not simply a lecture format. Participants are divided into groups of between eight and 10 parents so they can learn from each other. Evans believes it is this support which is the most beneficial aspect of the class. Indeed, the groups become so valuable that they continue indefinitely long after The Parent Project class has ended, with some going strong two years after the initial class. Parents are given concrete prevention and intervention strategies that can be put into immediate use within the home. “We have seen real transformation in families,” said Evans, who has taught the class since 2013. The next 11-week session of The Parent Project begins Sept. 6. The program fee is $80 per family. For more, visit bit.ly/3GYK6jG.

Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad opens Hobbs Station By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Nickel Plate Express passengers can now enjoy a true boarding station experience when riding the train north through Hamilton County. Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad, a nonprofit that operates the train, opened the renovated Hobbs Station June 11. A $1.6 million renovation of historic Hobbs Station included new boarding platforms, landscaping, restrooms, historic signs, paved parking and a train-themed playground. Nickel Plate Express operates out of Forest Park. The goal of the renovation is to make Forest Park Depot a destination spot to draw visitors outside of Hamilton County. The Nickel Plate Express travels a 12.5-mile track between Noblesville and Atlanta and attracts visitors from across the Midwest. The focal point is the historic Hobbs Station, which was originally built alongside the Nickel Plate railroad in Tipton County in 1948 and moved to Forest Park in 1967. Noblesville Parks & Recreation Dept. Director Brandon Bennett said the covered boarding platforms will make the Nickel Plate Express easier to board during its popular winter holiday rides. “In my opinion, one of the main attractions of this whole thing are the new boarding platforms with canopies,” Bennett said. “It’s more of the experience of boarding the train and provides access to the train. It’s much improved and the platform can load directly onto all four (train) cars.” Bennett hopes future construction phases will remove fencing to integrate the depot fully into Forest Park. “The train is here and it’s here to stay,” Bennett said. “We want to look to the future, remember the past but focus on the future and what our opportunities are here with it now. It’s been a long road to get here. We are most excited about reintegrating this part of the park back into Forest Park.” The recently completed project checked an item off of Mayor Chris Jensen’s to-do list. “Renovating Forest Park Depot at Hobbs Station was one of my top prior-

ities when I took office in January 2020,” Jensen stated in a press release. “Trains have had a significant history in Noblesville, and this project shows our commitment to keeping that heritage and giving it a new life.” The investment goal is to capitalize on the Nickel Plate Express, operated by Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad, which began running excursions on the 12.5 miles of track between Atlanta and Hobbs Station in 2019. “Hobbs Station will be a central landing point for visitors who may come for the train, but stay in Forest Park for the pool, golf course and historic carousel or visit our nearby downtown for our variety of stores and restaurants,” Jensen stated.

operations of the Nickel Plate Express after the previous operator, Indiana Transportation Museum, was evicted from the site in 2018. The city was first notified of environmental complaints about ITM in 2017. Following state inspections, the city worked with the Indiana Dept. of Environmental Management to restore the site. Since the clean-up effort began, 95 percent of the coal ash and bad soil that was left on the site has been mitigated and removed. More than 10,000 tons of bad materials have been removed from the site. ON THE COVER: Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad Director Emily Reynolds pauses outside the newly renovated Hobbs Station.

Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad Director Emily Reynolds, pictured, has been involved with the train for only three months but already has a major project under her belt: opening the renovated Hobbs Station June 11. “None of this would have been possible without the amazing partnership and support of the City of Noblesville,” said Reynolds, a Noblesville resident who joined Nickel Plate Express in March. “We are so fortunate to have them believing in us and supporting us.” Reynolds helped organize a VIP celebration June 10 to commemorate the Hobbs Station opening.

ESSAY

HUMOR

False alarms?

The truth of it is

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

“This is so very important that nothing else matters! Our ends assuredly justify the means. We are smart people. We have spent some time thinking about this problem. And we know that we have the only correct solution.” So goes the narrative. Agree with us, or those opposing are open to all manner of attack, polite or otherwise. Many imagine that others, with differing points of view, are stupid, evil and deserving of rebuke. It is all so very convenient to dismiss them, to vilify those who are otherwise not villains. Truly, there are a handful of critical realities where personal space must be allowed. But do we often restrain the behavior of other adults only to force them to conform with our current state of mind? History is littered with tales of our certainty gone wrong. Countless heretics died only to be proven correct only a few years later, small consolation. Still, we collectively tolerate the intolerance. Social media is rife with the clarion call: This is so important that the rules don’t apply; I’m so important that the rules don’t apply; I’m in such an emotional state that the rules don’t apply. Even so, isn’t there some value in adhering to a minimum standard? When are we able to suspend social order? How extreme must be the case? Have we slid too deep into the morass when we each decide what we can say to others and not to what we will allow them to say to us? When words are called violence and legislative votes are called murder, how do we confront actual violence and actual murderers? Are they the same thing? If we find ourselves always on high alert, when do we start ignoring the sounding of the alarm? Are we destined to miss a genuine warning?

Summer is in full swing, and I for one am already doing my darndest to hide from my children. I know, I know — some of you are already screaming, “You’re such a terrible mother!” But really, I’m just being honest, and I think most parents will appreciate my perspective: It’s all fun and games until it’s not, somewhere around mid-June. Sure, those first couple of weeks are grand. My coeds are home from school, we’re enjoying the laidback vibes of late mornings and no real schedules, and the flighty Indiana weather is finally cooperating. Our six-pack is generally kind to one another, and in the spirit of family reunited, we ignore the irritating idiosyncrasies of each other. But like our usually low Meijer bill, harmony will not last. Now, all I can do is focus on the noise and the mess and the never-ending loads of laundry. I get swept up in their sibling drama and inevitable boredom and pleas for cash. I can’t get a single moment to myself because someone, somewhere always seems to need me. Why? Did I not raise you to be independent? Go. Away. Too soon I find myself longing for August, when my time and my house will once again become my own. When communication with my darling offspring will equate to periodic check-ins via FaceTime. When I can return to an “outof-sight, out-of-mind” mentality and not obsess over the occasional bad choices my young adults will most certainly make. When a half-gallon of milk has a decent chance of expiring in the fridge. Terrible mother? Probs. But at least I’m honest. Peace out.

‘Neighborhood bakery’ opens on Conner Street in Noblesville By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

NO TIPPING POLICY

A family-owned bakery and café that recently opened is quickly becoming popular in the Noblesville community. Debbie’s Daughters, on the ground floor of NEW BIZ 12 Stars Media, 1236 Conner St., Noblesville, has sold homemade bakery items since 2020. The bakery recently opened its June 1 storefront and is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The bakery is named after Debbie Downs, who had 12 children — five daughters and seven sons. Jessica Walls, one of Downs’ daughters, began baking bread for people in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Everyone was calling us because they couldn’t find bread, and they said, ‘If you make us bread, we will pay you,’” Jessica said. “It started there but the dream was always to open a bakery and restaurant.” Jessica’s husband, Rocky Walls, who owns 12 Stars Media, said he bought the building knowing he and Jessica would someday open a bakery. 12 Stars Media launched in 2018. The Fishers couple began selling bakery items from home in 2020. They opened a Debbie’s Daughters booth at the Noblesville Farmers Market in 2021. “The online ordering and farmers market was like, ‘Hey, Noblesville community, do you want this? Would you buy bread from us every week?’” Rocky said. The answer was yes.

A unique aspect to Debbie’s Daughters is its no tipping policy. A sign on the counter states gratuity will be politely declined. “The idea here is we want a culture and understanding from customers and staff and our team that a really great experience here is expected and included in what we’re doing,” co-owner Rocky Walls said. “If you feel you want to go above and beyond, we’d rather you come back and see us again tomorrow, tell a friend, leave a review or add another item to order. I’d rather send you with a cookie than take a few bucks in cash.” Rocky said the entire staff is salaried.

Mayor Chris Jensen, center, cuts the ribbon to Debbie’s Daughters May 31. He is joined by co-owners Rocky and Jessica Walls, second and third from left, and many members of the Downs family. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

“It kind of shocked us,” Jessica said. “The first week we made some things and took them to the market, and by the end of the market, we had quadrupled what we took to the first market.” Menu items include coffee, cold brew, lemonade, espres-

so drinks such as lattes and Americanos, a bakery counter that rotates with fresh bakery items. Rocky said in the next few weeks, he wants to sell breakfast and lunch sandwiches as well. The bakery is in a 142-year-old building with wood tones and a fireplace. “It’s really important to us that people feel as cozy and welcome here as possible,” Rocky said. “It’s deliberate this is on the first floor of what used to be — a long, long time ago — a home. We try to keep as much of that feeling as possible.” For more, visit debbiesdaughters.com.

YAP students show versatility in cabaret show By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Abigail Judy is finding a lot to like about her first Young Artists Program experience with Civic Theatre. PERFORMANCE “What I love most is getting the opportunity to work with such great directors and meeting new people,” said Judy, who will be a Carmel High School junior in August. The YAP’s “REVUE!” is set for 6 and 8 p.m. June 28 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “My favorite number that I’ve learned so far is ‘Holding Out for a Hero,’” Judy said. “The music is super fun and we do a lot of really great harmonies. The people in this number are super fun to work with and I think it will be one to the best.” One challenge is learning the numbers because rehearsals didn’t start until earlier this month. “It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to learn everything and put it all together in such a short amount of time,” she said. Anne Beck serves as YAP director. Johnna Tavianini is the music director and Kenny Shepard is the director. All three are Ball State University colleagues. “Kenny and Johnna are a power couple when it comes to putting this show together,” Beck said. “They are both a wealth of knowledge of musical theater songs from all kinds of shows. They always put together an amazing mix of songs people know along with ones not so well known to educate the audience and enlighten us with great material not as well known. “This year they did it again and Johnna also has put together some fabulous mash-ups. She is extraordinary at that.” Beck said there is an array of soloists in this year’s cast of 13. “So, it is an exciting year for the show chock full of such great talent,” Beck said. Tavianini said Shepard came up with creative questions for cast members based on some overlying, universal themes that all have to do with being teenagers.

“By using their responses, he crafted a personalized script with the music that we’ve chosen supporting the stories that our cast members are going to share with the audience,” Tavianini said. This is Tavianini’s second year as music director for “REVUE!” “This year and last year I have been just blown away with the work ethic of the young cast and am immensely proud to see the steady growth in each of them as performers,” Tavianini said. “I love being able to set the bar high and getting to take them all by the hand and help them get there.” Tavianini said part of her job as music director is to make sure that all cast members sing music that supports their stories. “I love writing the arrangements and personalizing the music to serve the group in front of me,” Tavianini said. Tavianini and Shepard worked together for the first time last year on “REVUE!” “We are all so lucky to have Johnna on board,” Shepard said. “She really is a genius at making these young artists sound like stars while propelling their unique

stories through music.” Having only 10 rehearsals is a challenge to learn all the songs and monologues, Shepard said. “Another challenge, which I love, is making sure each artist’s voice is heard and each story is told authentically,” he said. “All 13 of them answered a long list of questions for me, and I took their experiences about social media, dating, family, friendships, bullying and other topics and wrote a script, often using their words verbatim as monologues.” Shepard said the song “Children Will Listen” from “Into The Woods” is powerful. “The lyrics and Johnna’s arrangement work so well to further the stories many of them are telling,” Shepard said. “These performers are very brave sharing personal experiences about racism, dating as a member of the transgender community and being bullied. I respect their honesty and openness more than I can say. The social media section is also an eye-opener to me. These teenagers communicate and validate each other in ways that are so foreign to other generations.”

Mystery spoof set at Red Barn By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com “Murdered to Death” suits Luke McLaughlin just fine. “I enjoy the murder mysTHEATER tery genre and it has a comedic spin to it as well,” said McLaughlin, who is directing the production at the Red Barn Summer Theatre. “I enjoy putting those two things together. As an English teacher, there are a lot of references to classic literature and Agatha Christie that I appreciate and enjoy.” “Murdered to Death” runs June 22 through July 2 at the Frankfort venue. The show is a spoof of the Agatha Christie whodunit genre set in an English Manor. “It’s a fun script, a nice mix of mystery and comedy,” said McLaughlin, a Frankfort resident who teaches at Clinton Prairie High School. “I’ve seen it on a stage before and when I saw it, I thought this is a great show I wanted to either direct or be in one day.” McLaughlin is pulling double duty. McLaughlin, Red Barn’s associate artistic director, is one of the two male leads in the

production of “Deceiving Granny,” which was set to end June 19. McLaughlin saw the play at Frankfort High School several years ago. Michael Taylor, Red Barn’s artistic director and a Frankfort High School theater teacher, directed the high school production. Among the performers in the show is Jan McGill, who has performed for 43 seasons with Red Barn. McLaughlin said another performer, Linda Benge, has performed for more than 20 years at the theater. Benge and McLaughlin are Frankfort residents. For more, visit redbarntheatre.net.

Words don’t pass smell test Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Piazza del Popolo in Rome. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A history of Rome’s obelisks Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in the continuing series about Rome, we look at its obelisks, eight of which have connections to TRAVEL three religious traditions. More than 4,000 years ago, Egyptians began carving obelisks, weighing up to 400 tons and standing up to 150 feet high, from single blocks of granite. Egyptian temples featured two matching obelisks at the entrances, their gradually sloping sides and pyramidal tops symbolizing the divine connection between Egyptian pharaohs and the sun god. When the Romans gained control of Egypt in 30 B.C., they began taking down the obelisks and transporting them on specially built ships to Rome, where they reerected them with an ingenious system of ropes and pulleys. The first obelisk taken to Rome was erected by Emperor Augustus at the center of Circus Maximus, symbolizing the divine connection between Augustus and the Roman gods. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, all but one of the Egyptian obelisks eventually toppled and broke apart. Beginning in the 16th century, popes restored and moved eight obelisks brought from Egypt and topped them with Christian crosses and symbols of the pope. The best known is the 84-foot-tall obelisk now in St. Peter’s Square, the only one that never toppled. The largest Egyptian obelisk, about 150 feet tall and the last to be brought to Rome, is now located across from the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran. Another Egyptian obelisk is now located in Piazza del Rotonda, just outside Rome’s famous domed Pantheon. Others are located in Piazza di

Piazza di Monte Citorio in Rome.

Rome’s Pizza della Rotonda.

Monte Citorio, Piazza di Santa Maria sopra Minerva, in front of the Palazzo Massimo alle Terme and at the Villa Celimontana. Five other obelisks in Rome, including the one in Piazza Navona, were created by Romans using Egyptian models. The next time you visit Rome, you might enjoy a walking trip to find its obelisks.

Have you ever crossed paths with a While I’ve never come nose-to-tail with a skunk, I’ve taken notice where one has raised a stink, so to GRAMMAR GUY speak. What gives a skunk its spunk? I don’t know — but I can tell you all about skunked terms. Take the word “biweekly,” for example. Traditionally, biweekly has meant “every two weeks.” Your job may pay you biweekly. Although this is what the word originally meant, people have come to understand “biweekly” to mean “twice a week.” Biweekly is a classic example of a skunked term, a phrase coined by lexicographer Bryan A. Garner in 2008. A skunked term is a word that becomes tricky to use because it is transitioning from one definition to another. Whether it’s correct or not, the trending usage of biweekly makes it a confusing word to use. What I’m suggesting is that we hit the pause button on using skunk terms. Since the words we choose are critical in

making our communication clear, using a word that is transitioning from one definition to another is distracting, if not downright confusing. Here are some more examples of skunked terms. “Decimate” originally meant taking out one-tenth of an enemy’s army; now it has come to mean totally destroying something. A “factoid” used to be an untrue statement that many believe to be accurate; now it means a small fact. Confusing, right? Originally the term “disinterested” meant “unbiased,” while now many use it to mean “uninterested.” Similarly, the word “nonplussed” originally meant surprised and confused, while many people use it today to mean unconcerned. Because these words are somewhere between their original meanings and their “trending” meanings, they’re skunked.
