Produce donation — The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District and The Farmers Bank have partnered to launch a new program that encourages the public to donate fresh produce for county food pantries. Every Wednesday, from now to Sept. 27, the public may drop off produce donations to the Noblesville branch of The Farmers Bank, 16940 Clover Rd., between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. All donations will stay local and be given to food pantries in Sheridan and Noblesville. People are welcome to donate produce they have grown themselves or that they have purchased at farmers markets or grocery stores. No donation is too small; even smaller donations of a few tomatoes or a few ears of corn all add up and make an impact on local food insecurity. For more, call 317-773-2181.

Jared will tell you, both. That’s because the ACL reconstruction that Shelbourne Knee Center did on Jared’s knee not only got him back on same level as before the injury. Which has made his dream of playing college football a reality. As Jared says, “All over their walls are pictures of athletes with thank-you letters. I knew I was in good hands.” A large, multi-center study found that only 50% of patients return to their sport at the same level. Yet similar research at Shelbourne Knee Center has found that greater than 90% of Shelbourne patients return to sports at the same level. Which proves we’re not only specializing in knees, we’re specializing in your recovery. Just ask Jared. He came in with a torn ACL, and walked out with his dream intact.

Noblesville Schools aims to prep all students for careers after high school By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com In the past few years, Noblesville Schools has been working to get its more than 10,000 students cover story ready for the real world by beginning career development at an earlier age, with things like career fairs in the elementary schools, a “lunch and learn” program with professionals in middle schools and a wide variety of programming at the high school, all in tune with the district’s project-based learning model. “When you look systematically at Noblesville Schools, we have a plan from kindergarten all the way on through,” Noblesville High School Principal Jeff Bryant said. “This may sound kind of simple, but there’s that belief that you’re either preparing students with a high school diploma, and they’re going out and doing their own thing, or you’re preparing students to be successful when they leave your doors, and those are two very different things.” The district was recognized earlier this year as the top advanced manufacturing high school in the state to partner with Conexus Indiana, a firm that develops and implements initiatives to meet the current and future needs of Indiana’s advanced manufacturing and logistics companies. The award is given to outstanding high schools that have significantly contributed to the development of Indiana’s next generation of the advanced manufacturing and logistics workforce.
WORKFORCE 200
Workforce 200 is a collaboration between the city, private industries and the schools that focuses on getting kids onto a career path earlier, especially those who aren’t necessarily going to pursue a fouryear degree after high school. “They get into their apprenticeship and journeyman earlier,” said Alaina Shonkwiler, Noblesville Schools workforce development coordinator. “We’re looking at different models throughout the country. We worked with Hamilton County Economic Development Corp. to really drill down into our demographics of the schools, to find out employment by industry, salary and

income, reduced and free school lunches, things like that.”
PROJECT LEAD THE WAY
One of the first high schools to implement Project Lead the Way, a nonprofit that develops science, technology, engineering and math courses, Noblesville Schools also was one of the first districts in the state to implement the program district-wide. The program is available to all students, regardless of academic standing. “What’s been beneficial to us at the high school is once we started doing this at the elementary and middle school level, the high school (participation) numbers shot through the roof,” Bryant said. The high school will add two new PLTW courses this school year, Digital Electronics and Engineering & Design Development. “When you put things in students’ hands, and you have them create, program and

build, those aren’t always going to work out well,” Bryant said. “Now, we’re encouraging students to take that risk.”
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Approximately 275 of the high school’s nearly 3,000 students took advantage of Noblesville Schools’ internship program last school year, and approximately 80 businesses partner with the district. The program began in January 2013 with 22 students and 11 businesses. “The internship program is kind of the culmination of all this work,” Bryant said. “A fourth-grader or fifth-grader may see something at the Hazel Dell (Elementary career fair) that peaks their interest, and in middle school they start to take some of the classes. By their junior or senior year, they can go into the internship program and see if this is something they’re really
Noblesville Schools announced earlier this month the hiring of Noblesville’s former assistant director of economic development Alaina Shonkwiler as its workforce development coordinator. The new role will enhance NHS’s workShonkwiler force development efforts, including its internship program. Shonkwiler will be actively involved with business management of the internship program and will fill a void created by the retirement of former internship coordinator Susan Wiersma earlier this year. “Alaina has a passion for workforce development and a deep understanding of business needs in Noblesville,” NHS Principal Jeff Bryant said. “She will bring a unique perspective to our internship program and other business partnership efforts that will ultimately benefit our students as they make important decisions about their future pathways.” In her role with the City of Noblesville, Shonkwiler assisted with business attraction, retention and expansion projects; managed workforce development strategies; and served as a convener of the city side of the Workforce 200 committee. Shonkwiler also has been named a Noblesville Main Street Board Member of the Year, Nickel Plate Arts Champion of the Year and a Noblesville Chamber Young Professional of the Year. She has a bachelor’s degree in Public Affairs Management from Indiana University and also is a graduate of the Economic Development Institute and the Hamilton County Leadership Academy. Shonkwiler will officially begin her new role July 28.

The myth of summer vacation Commentary by Supt. Beth Niedermeyer I’ve worked in education all of my adult life – first as a teacher, then as a principal, and most recently in district schools leadership roles. I can’t help but chuckle when after all these years my mom still asks me, “What do you do at work in the summer without students there?” In her defense, most people outside of education don’t really have an underNiedermeyer standing of what happens at a school during summer break and how busy school employees actually are. For many of us in education, summer vacation is something of a myth. Here are some highlights of what has been happening this year in Noblesville Schools since students left for summer break: • Teachers, principals and district leadership have attended hundreds of hours of professional development training to enhance their skills and to better serve students. • Annual planning work, including academic data analysis, budget reviews, goal review/setting, performance feedback review/evaluations and staff and school board planning retreats.
• Student class scheduling. • Recruitment, selection and staff planning for dozens of new staff members. • Deep cleaning and maintenance of our 25,000 square feet in building space and 674 acres of land. • Repair and inventory of equipment throughout the district. • Registration of hundreds of new students moving into the Noblesville area. • Bus route planning and cleaning/ preparing buses for inspections (this is the 31st year in a row that our team has received a perfect 100 percent score from the state on bus inspections! Thanks, team!). • Construction management of our new transportation center scheduled to open in October 2017. • Maintenance and preparation of more than 8,000 iPads and 4,500 computers throughout the district. • Back to school logistical planning, including purchasing supplies, preparing classrooms, planning back-to-school orientations/events/meetings and back-to-school communications. • Payroll processing and updates. • Preparation and submission of grants. Hopefully, this gives you a sense of what keeps us busy during the summer months. And yes, I plan to share this with my mom. I love you, mom!

KNOW WHERE TO GO IN AN EMERGENCY The recently opened St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital at Noblesville is a fully accredited and state-licensed hospital designed to care for and treat both major and minor emergencies any time they might occur. That sets it apart from “urgent care” centers which are not set-up or staffed for true medical emergencies. It’s important to understand the differences between emergency and urgent care because in an emergency situation, time is essential. Availability in an emergency St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital is open 24/7, 365 days a year. Most urgent care centers do not deliver round-the-clock availability. St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital also does not require appointments and there is little to no waiting to be seen by a doctor. Medical expertise St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital offers expert care from St. Vincent emergency physicians and ER-trained nurses. Due to the less serious nature
of urgent health conditions versus true medical emergencies, urgent care centers instead often rely on advanced nurse practitioners and physicians. Diagnostic capabilities and patient rooms St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital has access to state-of-the-art equipment for diagnostics and treatment. Laboratory, imaging and pharmacy services are also on hand, and unlike urgent care centers, if a condition warrants observation or an overnight stay, there are several inpatient rooms available. The care you need when you need it Urgent care centers are for situations when you have a non-emergency health issue and your regular physician is unavailable. But if you require immediate attention, you can now get the care you need, when you need it, at St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital at Noblesville. And always remember: if you are having a life-threatening medical emergency, don’t wait. Call 911 immediately.
As a registered nurse with experience in an emergency department setting, I know that dealing with the unexpected is part of all our lives. Whether it’s an accident around the house, a weekend warrior’s sports injury, or a child who wakes up in the middle of the night with a mysterious pain, the need for emergency care can strike at any time. That’s why I’m happy to introduce a convenient new facility for this area that’s designed to handle both major and minor emergencies: St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital at Noblesville. The St. Vincent care you’ve come to rely on is now available closer to home in a place that specializes in 24/7 emergency services from St. Vincent physicians and experienced registered nurses. St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital features free parking, little to no wait for care, and a calming, healing environment that includes a relaxing place for families and a dedicated area for pediatric patients. I’m excited to be part of this new vision in personalized care, built on the long-standing heritage of St. Vincent as a leader in providing a compassionate and caring experience for patients and their families. St. Vincent is proud to now be a part of the Noblesville community. If you have any questions about our new facility and the services that we will offer, feel free to call 317-703-1999 or visit StVincentNeighborhoodHospital. org. Sincerely, Sara Knisely-King, MSN, RN Chief Nursing Officer St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital

HOME SAFE HOME Your home should be where you feel most secure, but accidents can happen anywhere, especially when you are not aware of hazards that often hide in plain sight right where you live. St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital at Noblesville reminds you that making your home safer isn’t difficult when you take a few proactive steps. Take it a room at a time Each area in your home presents slightly different accident risks. Here’s what to look for in each room to help keep your family safe: • Kitchen: the kitchen is one of the most comforting gathering spaces in any home, yet it’s also a place of potentially hot surfaces, sharp blades and harsh chemicals. When preparing food, always keep flammable objects away from open flames and heat, and be extra careful around knives and other sharp tools. Also be sure to secure any dangerous chemicals under the sink so children and pets aren’t accidentally burned or poisoned.
• Bathroom: make sure bathroom electrical appliances like hair dryers and curling irons are not near water. Nonslip stickers or floor mats in the tub or shower can help prevent falls, and keep prescription medications out of reach of anyone who shouldn’t be taking them.
• Bedroom: always have a working smoke/carbon monoxide detector near your sleeping area and remember to change the batteries regularly. Keep a bedside lamp handy so you aren’t stumbling in the dark should you have to get up in the middle of the night, and never ever smoke in bed. Take extra care with kids A household with children needs an extra measure of safety. If you have kids — or if kids are likely to visit — make sure your home is secure in the following ways: • Keep danger out of reach, including medicines, chemicals, choking and suffocation hazards, fi rearms and other weapons. • Secure heavy or breakable items. A bookcase or big-screen TV could easily fall and injure a child who tries to climb it. • Cover outlets and keep extension cords safely secured. Senior safety for older adults Falls are the leading cause of injuryrelated death for adults over the age of
65, and a fall-related injury can lead to reduced mobility and limit independent living. Do what you can to make your home safer for yourself and your loved ones by following these tips: • Keep electrical cords, throw rugs or other tripping hazards out of walkways, and keep carpets secured. • Use nonslip adhesive strips on stairs and nonskid mats in the tub and shower. • Install railings on all stairs and, if needed, install grab bars near the tub, shower and toilet. • Keep rooms well lit and arrange furniture to allow for wide, clear pathways. Know where to go in an emergency Accidents happen, even when taking precautions in and around the home. If you require immediate attention for any type of emergency, get the care you need when you need it at St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital at Noblesville. For more information, call 317-703-1999 or visit StVincentNeighborhoodHospital.org.
TIPS FOR SUMMER SAFETY Summer is a time of sun and fun, but with more people active and outdoors, summer also presents plenty of opportunities for accidents, overexertion and other health issues. To help you stay happy and healthy — and out of the emergency room — St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital at Noblesville presents the following summer safety tips: Keep your cool Summer is the hottest time of the year, and prolonged sun and heat exposure can lead to serious health conditions and even life-threatening emergencies such as seizures, organ damage or even death. Infants, young children and the elderly are particularly at risk for heat-related illnesses, so be sure to monitor vulnerable kids and seniors during outdoor activities to make sure they’re staying cool. To avoid overheating, stay indoors in an air-conditioned environment during the hottest times of day. When outdoors, stay hydrated by drinking lots of water, wear loose fitting lightweight clothes, and pace
yourself so you don’t overdo it. Just keep swimming Whether you’re spending your summer at the beach, the pool or the lake, water safety should be top of mind. Always remember the following when you and your family are near the water: • Don’t go in unless you know how to swim. (Summer is a great time to sign up for lessons!) • Never swim alone. (Always have a buddy!) • When at a pool, make sure a lifeguard is on duty (or have an adult present at all times). • When on a boat, make sure everyone is wearing a US Coast Guard-approved life jacket. • Alcohol and water do not mix. Ever. Easy riders Bicycle ridership shoots up in the summertime, and so does the chance for an accident. That means you and your kids should wear a helmet every time you ride, regardless of length of your trip or how
close you are to home. You can be injured just as easily on a driveway, sidewalk or bike path as you can in the street. When riding in the streets, always follow the rules of the road, and be especially careful when riding at night when it’s more difficult to be seen. Wearing night reflectors on your bike and body is a good way to protect yourself. Swat team Exploring nature is one of the joys
of summer, but sometimes nature bites back in the form of insects that can range from merely annoying to potentially deadly. Ticks can carry Lyme disease, and mosquitoes can transmit West Nile and other viruses. Using insect repellents containing DEET helps to keep biting bugs at bay, but be sure to follow label directions when applying to small children. If you can’t help being outside when mosquitoes are active, wear long-sleeved shirts, pants and socks to minimize their exposure to your skin. The same is true to protect against ticks when walking in high grass or hiking in the woods. Know where to go in an emergency Even when taking precautions, accidents can still happen. If you require immediate attention for any type of emergency this summer, get the care you need when you need it at St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital at Noblesville. For more information, call 317-703-1999 or visit StVincentNeighborhoodHospital.org.

o b s e r v a tion Never-ending firsts Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Firsts. Premiers. The maiden voyage. We all have them. Yet, as we age, it may seem as if they become fewer. But do they ever go away? Along life’s journey, we are routinely presented with opportunities to try our hand at new things, skills and experiences. Among the many joys of seeing life through the eyes of young children is the sense of anticipation and apprehension that embodies firsts. We recall that an inaugural school dance is filled with trepidation even as we are compelled to attend – driven by our desire to socialize. At a certain stage in life, what is left for us that is new? We have traveled, raised children, paid a mortgage, built a career, driven a car, eaten exotic food and, most likely, been to a school dance. Too often, we slip into our routines imagining that little remains undiscovered. Yet, are we being entirely honest with ourselves? Do we intentionally avoid the novel and unknown firsts, just like a trepidacious child loath to leave the safe confines of mother’s skirt? Are we deliberately holding ourselves back, excusing our reluctance by claiming that there is nothing new under the sun? Only recently, our youngest procured his initial license to drive an automobile. He was a bit reticent. In time, the course work and training were completed. The tests and administrations were fulfilled. All that remained was the first drive – alone. Even as the car pulled from our lane, his anxiety transformed into elation. He had overcome another first and was already on to the next.
A funny thing happened on my way to a funeral. As I prepared to pull out of humor my driveway to make the fourhour round trip to Kentucky, I realized I had forgotten to pack a water. I put the car in park, kicked off my heels and raced through the garage toward the door. My left foot suddenly connected with a two-by-four concealed under a tarp. I stumbled into the house before the pain hit, then dropped to my knees on the kitchen floor. My vison blurred and I thought I might vomit. As I whimpered over my surely broken toe, practicing excuses for why I would no longer attend a good friend’s father’s service, my older daughter walked in, assessed the situation and said, “Now you know how I feel every time I drop a rifle on my foot.” She’s in color guard and frequently sustains injuries to her extremities, but still, where’s the compassion? “Get up, Mom. You’ll be fine.” She prepared an ice bag, fed me two Aleve and then hustled me back out to the car. “Mom, you have to go. It’s important.” Despite the pain, I realized she was right. I had to go. The student had become the master. Proud parenting moment! I made it to Louisville, shoved my blissfully numb foot into a 3-inch heel and hobbled my way through a one-hour calling. True, when I stopped by my parents’ afterward and removed my now bloodfilled shoe, my toe was a disturbing shade of purple and was no longer numb. But I was so thankful that my daughter had the wherewithal to understand that I needed to be there for my friend. Life can be funny like that, right? Peace out.

READER ’ S V I E W Trump like mythological Narcissus Editor, Mari Briggs’ letter on July 18 left me at first speechless, and then angry. She compares Donald Trump to strong men in the 1950s. Briggs must mean white men only, since minorities were marginalized and segregated, and women’s only career choice was to earn a Mrs. degree. Briggs praises Trump’s outspokenness, but I don’t remember any of the men back then lying as often as our current president does. “Telling it like it is” does not allow the President of the United States to pick Twitter fights with TV reporters, the mayor of London after a terrorist attack, and insist that every unfavorable news story is “fake news.” When Trump isn’t telling a bald-face lie, he is contradicting previous statements, leaving his staff to scramble “1984”-style to rewrite history. Our nation was formerly viewed as a world leader. Now, thanks to Trump, we’re
becoming a laughing stock. Briggs mentions the Paris Climate Agreement in simplistic terms, conveniently forgetting that the U.S. is now one of only three countries in the world, along with the likes of Syria and Nicaragua, to not sign the agreement. Seasoned politicians and other world leaders, such as Germany’s Angela Merkel, have tried to explain to Trump that there is more to the treaty and funding formula, but their words fall on deaf ears. Trump is like the mythological Narcissus, always seeking his own reflection. When things go badly, he lies, covers his lies, tells more lies, and threatens our free press as if the First Amendment was merely a suggestion. I agree with Briggs that Trump is trying to return our nation to some Utopian 1950s, but if she would take off her rose-colored glasses, she might remember that those years were less than golden.

The St. Vincent Neighborhood Hospital concept has arrived in Noblesville. Opened July 17, the fanow open cility specializes in 24/7 emergency services and inpatient care. “This is a full hospital,” said Dr. Richard Fogel, chief clinical officer for St. Vincent. “We’ve got seven ER beds and eight inpatient beds. We can handle pretty much everything that comes through the door. We are just a small hospital where we can bring the hospital close to the patients. This is the first one in our market.” The 17,000-square feet hospital is at 9460 E. 146th St. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held July 6. “We don’t do surgeries, but anyone with an emergency or anyone who needs inpatient stay can come here,” Fogel said. “We offer a full range of services. We have a full laboratory and radiology suite. We’re really excited about the opportunity to make care very patient-centric. We want to make it easy for patients to get their care. By bringing the care right into their neighborhoods, we think that creates a better

patient experience. We are using the latest
technology that is available to make their care as good as possible.” Fogel said the object is to have patients seen within 15 minutes or less from arrival time. Then Fogel said the goal is for the turnaround time for radiology procedures or imaging to be 30 minutes or less. “If you call for an ambulance and this is the nearest facility, we would hope they would bring you here,” Fogel said. “We’re not an urgent care. We are a hospital with an emergency room.” Fogel said if an emergency room physician evaluated a patient and determined that person needed surgery, the patient would be transferred to another St. Vincent hospital. Additional neighborhood hospitals are planned for Avon, Plainfield and the Castleton area of Indianapolis later this year and in 2018. “We’re excited about the concept,” Fogel said. “We think this is a great step forward in bringing care closer to patients, wherever they are.” There is expected to be a staff of approximately 30.

Going through the emotional aspects of a divorce is difficult in and of itself, but the added pressure of managing finances only adds additional challenges. Going from a two-income household to a one-income household can be scary and you may be tempted to start moving assets around, or paying off debts, but you may want to think twice before doing so. Indiana law presumes an equal division of property, which means both parties are on the hook for all assets and debts that are considered marital. Disposing of said assets and liabilities could put you at risk. What counts as marital property? Does it include money I brought into the marriage? What about the house I purchased prior to marriage? I earned significant retirement assets prior to the marriage—is that included, too? While many states consider separate property, Indiana takes a “one pot” approach. All property owned by either spouse, whether acquired prior to or during the marriage, is considered marital property. This includes real property, personal property, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and anything else under the sun you can think of. The same rules apply for liabilities, too. Wait a minute. What about that big inheritance I received from a family member? A court can consider the extent to which property was acquired prior to a marriage or if property was given as a gift or through inheritance, but keep in mind this is only one of the relevant factors a court must take into consideration if you’re trying to exclude certain property as marital. What happens to the marital assets once a petition for dissolution has been filed? Consider the date you file for divorce a frozen snapshot of all your assets and liabilities. Everything you own and any debt you have will be valued as of that date and will be included in your marital estate. This means anything you acquire after your date of filing, whether an asset or
debt, is yours and yours alone. If your spouse wants to go buy a Lamborghini after the date of filing, that debt will solely be on them. If you buy a lottery ticket the week after filing for divorce and hit the jackpot, that money belongs to you! What you can’t do, however, is dissipate assets that are considered marital. Can I sell my property? It’s not necessarily a straightforward answer. If both parties in a divorce agree to sell an asset, a home for example, that’s perfectly okay. Any equity received or liability incurred can be attributed to each party at the end of a divorce settlement. If both parties agree that each party will keep their respective cars and then you want to go sell your car and use the proceeds to buy a new one, that’s okay too—so long as there’s an agreement to do so. Every situation is different, so it’s important to get advice before getting rid of any major assets. In many situations, parties are unable to agree on their own. If, for instance, one party has concerns the other party will cut off funds or dissipate assets, either party can request a temporary restraining order be placed on marital property. Specifically, this would keep either party from transferring, encumbering, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property. This essentially freezes your assets. Many courts issue these types of orders automatically when a divorce is filed, but if you have specific concerns, it’s best to address it directly. Don’t worry, you’re still allowed to use assets (think cash assets) for the normal and regular necessities of life, though. Just don’t go purchasing any big-ticket items. If you’re unsure of your rights, the attorneys at Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., have the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Styx to rock Klipsch July 27 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Styx lead singer Lawrence Gowan understands why the “United We Rock Tour” is so successful. music Styx is joining REO Speedwagon and former Eagles guitarist Don Felder on the tour, which will stop for a concert at Noblesville’s Klipsch Music Center at 7 p.m. July 27. “People are getting four hours of classic rock where they know every single song,” Gowan said. Well, almost every song. Gowan acknowledges some people might not know the songs Styx performs from the “The Mission,” the group’s first new album in 14 years. However, Gowan said fans seem to like it because album sales have been strong at the concerts. “We’re playing two full songs and a couple of little snippets,” Gowan said. “Simultaneously (the album is) a progression and, curiously enough, a regression. We wanted to make a significant record for 2017. But at the same time we made a very concerted effort to make it sound like a classic Styx record as close as possible because that’s the sound that is not only respected but

drawing younger people. They seem to love classic rock as much as we did growing up. Half of the audience being under 30 years of age is amazing considering they weren’t even born yet when some of the classic Styx records were made.” Gowan, who joined Styx in 1999, said the new songs seamlessly fit in with the set. In addition to 110 Styx concerts this year, Gowan will play nine solo shows. “It’s quite a touring pace we took when I joined the band, but it’s central to why we’re still together and why we enjoy each other’s company,” Gowan said.
Gowan said his favorite moment on the tour is when the band plays “Renegade” near the end of the concert. “Whether we were playing in Japan or Sweden or England, it’s amazing how different the crowds are at the beginning of the night and how similar they are by the time we get to ‘Renegade,’” Gowan said. “I can observe that because Tommy (Shaw) is singing and I can take notice of what the band has accomplished on that night. To see the joy on people’s faces makes the day very worthwhile.” For tickets, visit livenation.com.

“More Light: Douglass Returns” begins five-performance run July 27 at Conner Prairie — The latest creation in a growing museum theater collaboration between Conner Prairie and an Indianapolis youth theater organization begins a five-day run July 27. “More Light: Douglass Returns” is a full-length play written by Indiana playwright Celeste Williams and inspired by the historic return to Indiana by prominent American abolitionist, writer and speaker Frederick Douglass. The play came about after Williams, a former Indianapolis Star journalist, wrote a non-fiction piece in 2014 about Frederick Douglass for an area arts journal. That article recounted an appearance by Douglass in Pendleton, Ind., in 1843, when he was severely beaten as he attempted to give a speech against slavery.
That incident of violence contrasted with the reception Douglass received in 1880 — some 37 years later — at a political rally in Noblesville. Performances are 7 p.m. July 27, 3 p.m. July 29, 7 p.m. July 30, 3 p.m. Aug. 5 and 7 p.m. Aug. 6. All performances are in Lilly Theater inside the Welcome Center at Conner Prairie, 13400 Allisonville Rd. in Fishers. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased the night of show, in advance online at connerprairie.org or by calling 317-776-6000. Flying Toasters return — The Flying Toasters band will perform a make-up concert Aug. 4 at Cool Creek Park. The group’s June 23 concert at Cool Creek Park was rained out.
