First case of monkeypox reported in Indiana news@currentnoblesville.com Indiana Department of Health officials announced June 18 that the first probable case of monkeypox in Indiana HEALTH in 2022 has been identified. No further information about the patient will be released because of privacy concerns. IDOH Laboratories completed initial testing June 18. According to a press release from the IDOH, confirmatory testing is pending at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The patient remains isolated, and health officials are working to identify anyone the
patient may have had close contact with while infectious. “The risk of monkeypox among the general public continues to be extremely low,” State Health Commissioner Dr. Kris Box stated. “Monkeypox is rare and does not easily spread through brief casual contact. Please continue to take the same steps you do to protect against any infection, including washing your hands frequently and thoroughly, and check with a health care provider if you have any new signs or symptoms.” Person-to-person transmission is possible either through skin-to-skin contact with body fluids, monkeypox sores or contaminated items, such as bedding or clothing,
or through exposure to respiratory droplets during prolonged face-to-face contact. Monkeypox typically begins with fever, headache, chills, muscle aches and exhaustion about five to 21 days after exposure. Within one to three days, sometimes longer, after the appearance of fever, the patient develops a rash, often beginning on the face and then spreading to other parts of the body. Some people may only develop the rash. The illness typically lasts for two to four weeks. People are considered infectious until all scabs from the rash have fallen off. The CDC reports that 113 monkeypox cases have been confirmed in 21 U.S. states and territories this year.

Guerin Catholic’s strong finish leads to state title By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com After leading by four strokes after the first round, the Guerin Catholic High School boys golf team found itself down 10 strokes to Westfield during the second GOLF round of the IHSAA state finals. “We battled from behind in several of our tournaments late in the season, so we knew if we played committed golf, we would finish strong down the stretch,” Golden Eagles coach Mark Mathews said. Entering the 18th hole tied with Westfield, Guerin Catholic junior Jacob Modleski birdied the final hole while Westfield’s Alec Cesare narrowly missed a birdie putt and parred. Guerin won with 602 stokes, one less than Westfield June 15 at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel. Hamilton Southeastern was third with 615 strokes. Noblesville placed 10th with 641. Guerin Catholic finished second in the 2021 finals, losing to Center Grove by one stroke. “We worked all season long on finishing our rounds with full commitment to every shot,” Mathews said. “Our overall team scores improved this year because of the hard work they put in all winter long in the combined Golf School of Indiana and Fitness Garage program.” Modleski said last year’s second-place finish was a motivating factor. “To lose by one shot last year really put a chip on our

shoulder, and as a team I know we wanted it this year really badly,” Modleski said. “We know every shot matters, and it’s always fun when tournaments come down to a couple shots and you come out on top.” Westfield had edged Guerin by three strokes at the Westfield Sectional and by one stroke at the Lake Central Regional. “The great competition that we had all season long with Westfield and Carmel certainly helped us come together as a team and put the hard work in that was needed to accomplish our team goals for the state championship,” Mathews said.

Modleski shot rounds of 74 and 71 for a 145 total, tying him for fifth in the state individually with Noblesville High School senior Will Perkins. Modleski, a Noblesville resident, was second individually in last year’s state finals. “Jacob definitely played well all season long. The state championship was no exception,” said Mathews, a Westfield resident. “He is a very focused young man and certainly has the ability to play very well under extreme pressure, and that skill was on full display the final hole of the championship.” Guerin sophomore Leo Wessel, an Indianapolis resident, tied for 10th among individuals. Connor McNeely, a Noblesville resident who has signed a national letter of intent to play golf at Butler, finished tied for 17th. McNeely won sectional medalist honors with a 69 at Ulen Country Club in Lebanon. “Connor McNeely was our senior leader and had a solid season and is excited about his future as a Butler Bulldog,” Mathews said. “Our senior leadership and overall contributions from Connor McNeely, Scotty Smith and Luke Scariano made the difference all season long.” Smith lives in Zionsville and Scariano is from Noblesville. Zionsville Community High School junior Adam Melliere placed ninth among individuals. The top 10 golfers in the state finals earn all-state honors. Junior Lane Zedrick shot the lowest score for Hamilton Southeastern, finishing in a tie for 15th.

Noblesville’s first lady helps to reshape July 4 celebration By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Growing up, Julie Jensen’s favorite holiday was the Fourth of July. Now, as the wife of Mayor Chris Jensen, she plays an integral part in the City of Noblesville’s patriotic celebration. Julie, the wife of Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen, joined the city’s Fourth of July Committee in 2019. Immediately, she thought Forest Park was the best place for the event, and she wanted to attract more people to the celebration. “We have this great location, and we have all these fun things to do, (so) how do we get more of a draw?” she said. “That was when I shared, ‘What if we did a concert with VIP tables, like a centralized gathering point with live music and a table where you can bring food and it can be home base?” The summer of 2020 was the first year the city presented a live music concert with VIP tables. “It was awesome,” Julie said. “We sold out the tables and it was a great event. We got a lot of great feedback. We did it again last year and went bigger and had more tables. I think it has created this different environment.” Julie was reared in Dublin, Ohio, where Fourth of July celebrations were popular events. “It’s funny because in the state of Ohio, it is illegal to buy and set off your own fireworks,” she said. “If you wanted to see fireworks, you had to go to an organized event.” So, Julie and her family attended Dublin’s Fourth of July festival each year. “It’s a huge deal, because it’s like the only place you can go to see fireworks (in Dublin) on the Fourth of July,” she said. “That was one of the big things when I moved to Indiana. I realized a lot of people do their own thing setting off fireworks at a house or neighborhood and there wasn’t quite the same buzz around a huge community festival. It’s predominantly why I loved the Fourth of July so much growing up because I always thought it was just this perfect combination of all my favorite things — friends, family, food and fireworks, all in one spot for this huge party the entire day.”

WHY JULIE JENSEN LOVES THE FOURTH OF JULY

The Jensens and their children previously traveled to Dublin, Ohio, each July to celebrate the holiday. However, that changed when Chris was elected to Noblesville’s Common Council in 2015 and was then elected mayor in 2020. Now, Julie helps plan the city’s festival. “Chris and I got married, and then he got elected, and we realized we probably wouldn’t be able to go back to Ohio for the
Fourth of July anymore,” Julie said. “It was one of those, ‘OK, this is our hometown, what can we do to enhance it and get more people together for a big community celebration?’” Chris said his wife has applied her enthusiasm for the Fourth of July to enhance the city’s event by making it more appealing to residents. “Much like when Julie Jensen agreed to
Julie Jensen said her two favorite holidays are the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. But the Fourth of July is No. 1 because of the music. “My favorite thing in the entire world is patriotic music,” she said. “I get super emotional when there’s fireworks and they’re playing ‘God Bless America.’ All that is probably the most defining thing that makes me love Fourth of July.” She also loves being surrounded by family and friends on the holiday. “I just love food, family, friends and getting everyone together,” she said.

Hairbangers Ball to return to festival By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
FOR SUMMER CONCERT INFO, VISIT NOBLESVILLEPARKS.ORG
Music performed by Hairbangers Ball is always a tribute to the 1980s hair metal bands era. However, the selection of songs typically varies with the audience. The band regularly performs songs by Motley Crue, Guns & Roses, Poison, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. “Occasionally, we get into music from bands like W.A.S.P. and Cinderella,” lead singer Brian Durbin said. “Each particular town has a thing that they like from us. If we play a college town when it’s in session, the young kids like to hear the certified, 100 percent A-level hits. A lot of Wisconsin places or Bolingbrook, Ill., like to hear more of the deeper cuts from some of the bands. We don’t do a one-size-fits-all setlist. We change up our setlist pretty regularly.” Hairbangers Ball will perform on the main stage from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. July 4 at Noblesville’s fireworks festival at Forest Park. It’s the second consecutive year the band has played the July 4 festival in Noblesville. Durbin said the band will play many of the greatest hits of ’80s bands. “We’ve played in (the) Indy (area) often enough to have a following from the Vogue Theatre,” Durbin said. “Sometimes we get people from the Bluebird in Bloomington, which we call our home away from home. So, because we get some of our regulars in Noblesville, we’ll throw in some of our deep-
er cuts, too. We have to be a little more selective because it’s a family event. We want to play songs that even 10-year-olds know because these songs are like almost the soundtrack of America if you really think about it. Even though all the bands aren’t necessarily from America, the Midwest is the area that truly loves this type of music. “When you have to play those family festivals, you have to play what I like to call America’s hits.” The band has performed for 21 years, and Durbin has been a member for the past six years. Durbin, who also plays guitar, performs under the stage name Mick Jäger, as in Jägermeister. The band has five members, but occasionally a second female singer joins as a sixth member. “We’re typically a Midwest band but we play other places if opportunities come up,” Durbin said. “We mostly do covers, but we do some original songs that we started releasing after the (COVID-19) pandemic. We had nothing else to do at the time.” Durbin previously played for Love Blast, which performed in the Chicago area. “We released a couple of albums and I got picked up by Jen (singer Jennifer Remis) by Hairbangers Ball,” he said. “I’ve just been having the time of my life playing with my friends in Hairbangers, and on the side I record some of my own music.” For more, visit hairbangersball.com.

ESSAY
HUMOR
Infallibility traps
Nerdy but nice
Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Nobody likes to be proven wrong. Well, few of us do, anyway. We take it as a personal defeat. How could we have made the error? We must have had incomplete information. Is it possible that we are not smart? No, certainly not. Our moms told us that we were geniuses. There is no chance that she’d have lied to us. Is it possible that we lack perspective on the matter? We doubt it. Our perspective, from our perspective, is pretty darn good. Maybe they are mistaken in claiming that we were mistaken. Like a turtle flipped upon its back, it takes some real effort for us to get our attitude right when we are shown to have a deeply held, longtime erroneous position. It matters to we good humans that others believe like we do, that they reinforce what we hold true. We like to be reminded that we are intelligent, that we are right! It all adds to our stock of confidence. If we were correct so many times before, we are likely to make the accurate choice the next time we act. Cogent and thoughtful arguments that oppose our views can make us look bad, certainly make us feel bad. But don’t we learn more from our failures than from our successes? Isn’t there a nobility in taking a defeat with grace only to return and become victorious? Are we all caught in some infallibility trap, one that requires that we run from our errors only to never learn from them? The younger a child, the less they seem to care about being corrected. As they age, they begin to find discomfort in their own inaccuracy. Correspondingly, the speed of their learning tends to slow as they age. Is our biggest failure refusing to accept our imperfection?
Friends, I’m recently back from Nerd Camp, and I. Am. Pumped! Technically, I attended a professional development colloquium for teachers on Thomas Jefferson, but for me, a huge American history fan, the weekend was a sort of all-expenses paid Disney experience, complete with like-minded goobers from across the nation, an actual political science professor and surprisingly good food. The best part? I was allotted a single, 1970s-era dorm room with its own bathroom and a super-firm, 2-inch foam mattress. Introvert heaven! So, what did I learn? Besides confirming my view that T.J. is way overrated as president (I’ll give him the Louisiana Purchase and that’s it!), the seminar allowed me to make a few keen social observations. First and foremost, there’s always “that guy.” In this case, it was a gentleman from Illinois who insisted on prefacing each of his questions with a vomiting of historical facts. He talked more than our fearless Ph.D. leader, constantly hijacking the conversation in a condescending manner. We get it, Joshua. You’re smart. Now shut the heck up! Second, people who constantly mutter negative comments under their breath are beyond annoying. I know they know I can hear them, but they don’t seem the least bit concerned about being a distraction from the conversation, not to mention a real energy drag (I’m talking to you, Jinnifer with an “i”). Either speak your mind for everyone to hear or zip it. This rude whispering nonsense doesn’t fly. Finally, in 90-degree heat, even professional educators revert to middle school antics. We just do. I still have five weeks before school starts, but thanks to Nerd Camp, I’m pumped! Peace out.

Versiti in need of blood By Haley Miller news@currentnoblesville.com Amid a nationwide blood shortage, Versiti Blood Center of Indiana issued an emergency appeal earlier this month DONATION for blood donations. Versiti’s Area Vice President Penny Schroeder said collections fell 20 percent last month, and the center urgently needs O negative and O positive blood types. “We want to make sure we mitigate any impact to our hospitals and our patients in Indiana,” Schroeder said. “Blood is something that can’t be made in a laboratory. The only way we can get this precious resource is from donors.” Trickle-down effects of the pandemic are largely responsible for the low blood inventory. Several hospitals began offering elective surgeries again at the start of 2022, driving up the need for blood on the shelf. Blood-drive sites that would have drawn many donors prior to the pandemic have yielded fewer donors in 2022. Schroeder said office blood drives, for example, now only attract a third or half of would-be donors because of hybrid work schedules. “It’s been a unique challenge throughout the pandemic,” Schroeder said. Summertime also exacerbates the situation because Versiti cannot hold high-volume blood drives at high schools and uni-
versities during summer break. Schroeder said high school and college students make up 30 percent of Indiana’s blood supply. “As we head into the heart of summer, now is a crucial time for blood donation,” senior medical director Dr. Dan Waxman stated in a recent Versiti press release. “With more people traveling and getting together, there is more opportunity for accidents and the subsequent need for blood.” Besides Type O donors, Versiti also needs platelet donors. Platelets are a special kind of blood cell that helps with clotting. A low platelet count, common among cancer patients, premature babies and trauma victims, may lead to excessive bruising and bleeding. Central Indiana residents can donate at one of Versiti’s six local collection centers: Carmel, Fishers, Greenwood, Terra Haute, Lafayette and downtown Indianapolis. Versiti supplies blood services to more than 60 Indiana hospitals. Potential donors can schedule an appointment online at donate.indiana.versiti.org. Schroeder said the team at Versiti appreciates Hoosiers who help support the blood supply and needs more individuals to add regular blood donations every eight weeks to their to-do list. “Chances are, you or someone you know in your lifetime is going to need blood,” Schroeder said. “It is the blood on the shelf today that literally will save someone’s life tomorrow.”

Walking for arthritis — Walking is 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, one 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.

Sisters to open alcohol-free shop
SCAN THE CODE TO PURCHASE TICKETS
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sisters Andrea Marley and Kristin Patrick have always wanted to have their own store. They saw an COMING SOON opportunity to do that after they both stopped drinking alcohol in the last year. Patrick said they saw an article in Vogue Magazine about booze-free bottle shops, and they decided to bring one to Carmel. “We saw there were stores dedicated to this burgeoning (offering of) alcohol-free products,” Patrick said. “We’re trying to replicate the success of other stores in the country. The whole idea is the store has just non-alcoholic alternatives, alcohol-free wine, beer and spirits.” Patrick said the stars were aligning for the right opportunity. The sisters, who are Carmel High School graduates, will open Loren’s AF Beverages, 5790 E. Main St., Suite 150, in mid-August. Loren’s AF Beverages, which will be open Wednesdays through Sundays, will be the first alcohol-free bottle shop in Indiana. The name is a tribute to their father, Loren Marley, who died March 15. “That’s where we got the confidence to do this,” Patrick said of their dad. “He’s always been our biggest cheerleader and believed in us. He wanted us to try new things and have new experiences. He was a great businessman himself.” Patrick, a Fishers resident who graduated from CHS in 1996, works as an instructional

coach, specializing in technology, at Noblesville Schools. Marley, a Westfield resident who works as a director of operations for a tech startup, graduated from CHS in 1998. Patrick said there are not a lot of alcohol-free products in Indiana. “That’s been part of our market research, going to different grocery stores and box stores and seeing what’s available.” Patrick said. “The answer is not much. The alcohol-free bottle shops are thriving.” Patrick said many people have decided to go alcohol-free in the last year. “There have been a lot of news stories about people reevaluating their relationship with alcohol,” Patrick said. “During the pandemic, alcohol use soared.”

Carmel teen moves from Disney series to music By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com After appearing in three seasons as Sophia on Disney’s “Sydney to the Max” TV series, Amelia PERFORMING ARTS Wray has been taking an acting break to concentrate on her music. “I love it all,” Wray said of acting and singing. The 17-year-old Wray, who was reared in Carmel, will perform in the July 30 “Boys of Summer” concert at Avondale Music Hall in Chicago. She will perform her single “Moved On” live for the first time. Wray wrote it with the help of singer-songwriter Audrey Paige. Eric Johnson and Marc Johnson, who own The Pop Machine recording studio in Indianapolis, produced and recorded it. Wray also will sing two cover songs she selected in Chicago. In the works is an opportunity for Wray to perform as an opening act for Menudo in Las Vegas in November. Menudo started as a Puerto Rican boy band in 1977. Wray takes vocal lessons from former “American Idol” music supervisor Michael Orland. “He’s been my voice coach for years and I truly thank him for his guidance,” she said. “Music makes me so happy. My goal is to create an EP (extended play album), so I’m writing and writing.” Nonetheless, she said she misses filming and the rehearsal schedule of being on a series. Wray played a recurring character in five episodes in Season 1, 12 episodes in Season 2 and five episodes in Season 3. The show finished filming Season 2 in February 2020, and the episodes were supposed to return six weeks later, but the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to that. When filming resumed in October 2022, it was quite different with the cast and crew required to wear face masks at all times, except when filming, and the actors couldn’t socialize. “They didn’t even want us to eat lunch together,” Wray said. “During rehearsals, they made us wear the face shields. We’d film a scene and the second they said cut,

we had to put on our masks. We were tested for COVID every day.” The pandemic delay also meant the child actors all looked older than planned when filming resumed. “When we came back, we didn’t look like we were in eighth grade anymore,” Wray said. During the pandemic, Wray appeared in a short segment that was part of the film “Entanglement,” which included 12 shorts. Her segment is a solo short called “Isolation in Lockdown.” Her 10-minute part was filmed at her home. “I play this girl who is trapped in the house during COVID,” Wray said. “This girl is going crazy. ‘I can’t catch a break from my parents and siblings. I just need a place in my house to escape to where I don’t have to talk to anyone.’ “
The girl finds a cleaning closet in her basement. “She makes an invisible friend, which is a mop she calls Leonard,” Wray said. “She rants and talks to him like he’s a friend.” Wray is still auditioning for TV and film opportunities. If she is offered the right opportunity, she said she would love to do another show. “I probably wouldn’t even hesitate,” said Wray, who has one year left in high school. “My goal is to get a film or another TV series, get a little more recognition and then go do a Broadway show.” Wray’s twin brother, Mitchell, is taking a break from acting and is working on fashion designs. The siblings are represented by The Osgood Agency. For tickets to Boys of Summer tour, visit Wray’s Instagram, @ameliawray.

THE BLUEPRINT • A fresh coat of paint was added, blending sleek gray siding with contrasting crisp white trim to refresh the exterior. • The lower deck was screened in to increase outdoor comfort. • A waterproofing system installed above the lower deck diverts rain, protecting the screened-in area from the elements. • Trex composite decking was added to the upper deck providing maintenance-free durability. • Custom exterior lighting improves functionality, allowing for outdoor entertaining after the sun goes down.

Much ado about fossil words Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
Interior of Pantheon in Rome. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Christian history of Ancient Roman buildings Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in the last column in the series about Rome, we look at some ancient Roman buildings that surTRAVEL vived more or less intact because they were reused by Christians. During the first three centuries A.D., Rome was the largest and most important city in the world. With about 800,000 residents, the city center, including the Roman Forum, featured magnificent marble temples, monuments and administrative buildings. In 410, when the so-called “barbarians,” Arian Christians, first sacked Rome, many of the structures began collapsing and their structural materials began being used in churches. But some of those structures survived because Christians repurposed them. The Pantheon, dedicated by Emperor Hadrian in about A.D. 26 to honor all the Roman gods, is the most famous of the preserved structures. Its 142-foot-diameter dome, constructed from unreinforced concrete, remains the largest such dome in the world. The Pantheon owes its longevity to its conversion to a church honoring Mary and the Martyrs in 609. A domed cylindrical temple of uncertain significance near the Roman Forum survived when it became the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano in 527. The Curia Julia, the Senate building in the Roman Forum begun by Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., survived because it became the Church of Sant’Adriano al Foro in A.D. 630. The Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, honoring
If you want to feel old, try explaining how we used to watch TV to a 10-yearold: “In days of yore, you couldn’t skip the commercials or GRAMMAR GUY pause the show. You just had to watch what was on when it was on. Yes, that’s how we watched TV in the 20th century.” You’ll feel like a complete fossil. We have some English words that seem like fossils, yet, like those of us born in the last century, they keep a death grip on life. These words are called “fossil words.” A fossil word tends to show up in a particular idiom or phrase, but we don’t use that word in any other context. Take the word “turpitude,” for instance. Outside of the phrase “moral turpitude,” you never see it. Turpitude has been fossilized with “moral,” and I don’t see it breaking free anytime soon. Although it means “to dish out,” the word “wreak” rarely shows up outside of the phrase “wreak havoc.” Occasionally, someone in an old medieval story wreaks
vengeance, but “wreak” is almost always joined at the hip with “havoc.” Be careful not to confuse “wreak” with “reek,” as these homophones could really trip you up (and leave you all stinky). Here’s another tricky fossil word that moonlights as a homophone: bated. It means “to diminish or lessen.” You never hear someone say, “Frank, you have really bated your waistline; you must be exercising!” Of course, we don’t hear that, because the word “bated” is fossilized next to the word “breath.” Frank waited with bated breath to see the number on the scale. Just don’t “bait” anyone’s breath; I’m not really sure what that would mean. In addition to the fossil words already discussed, you’ll also discover that “hither,” “amok,” “inclement,” “ado,” “eke,” “beck,” “champing” and “knell” have been cemented inside other phrases.

CarmelFest Reminders What should I bring? Please bring sunscreen, bug spray, water bottles, coolers, chairs and blankets. Food and drinks are permitted. Visitors over 21 can bring alcohol. There are also several food and drink vendors at CarmelFest, including a restricted area where alcohol is served.
The Roman Forum was built by Julius Caeser.
the deified Emperor Antonius Pius and his wife, Faustina, was built in 141 on a platform overlooking the Roman Forum. In the seventh century, it became a church honoring the martyrdom of Lawrence of Rome. Today, because of excavations of the forum, the entrance to the church is far above current ground level. Not all Roman structures survived by becoming churches. The exterior of the colonnaded temple honoring the deified Emperor Hadrian survived because it became a palace authorized by Pope Innocent XII in 1695.
