ROAD WORK
By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com
Work has started on a roundabout in Noblesville at Ind. 32/38 that officials say is intended to improve traf fic flow and safety. The project, which began earlier this month, has resulted in traffic being reduced to one lane in each direction (east and west) on the north side of the roadway. Crews will be constructing half of the roundabout during the closure. It is expected to be completed within 30 days, depending on weather, said City Engineer AlisonKrupskiKrupski.said the project between the city and the Indiana Dept. of Transportation was determined after INDOT completed an internal study and determined the need for additional travel lanes and intersection im provements in the area. Motorists traveling through the area will also see that the entrance to Riverview Hospital is closed, meaning they will have to enter to the east opposite of John Street. All hospital doors, including the emergency room, are accessible off the roadway, ac cording to the city’s website. When work is completed on the first half of the roundabout, traffic will then switch to the newly constructed lanes on the south side of the roadway, Krupski said. At that time, construction will begin on the other half of the roundabout that is expect ed to take 52 days, depending on weather, she“Leftadded.turn movements will be restricted at State Road 32/38 until the roundabout is complete in the fall of this year,” she said. “INDOT will be adjusting traffic signal timings to help with the change in traffic patterns throughout construction.” Krupski said the Ind. 32/38 intersection is consistently listed in the top five inter sections with the most accidents in the city and noted that the intent of the project is to improve traffic flow and safety. INDOT has also programmed additional improve ments along Ind. 32 from Westfield to No blesville that will help the overall safety and traffic flow of the entire corridor, according to TheKrupski.roundabout project is the first of two planned in the area. A second roundabout will be constructed at Ind. 32 and River Road that is expected to begin in the spring of next year, with a targeted completion date in the summer. The $6.5 million roundabout projects are being funded by INDOT and the city, which is picking up $2.15 million of the total cost, with INDOT covering the remaining amount. Krupski also asked motorists to take their time as they travel through the area and urged the public to check the city’s website for updated information as construction progresses. Mayor Chris Jensen will also discuss updates and traffic changes in his weekly Friday Five that can be found on the city’s social media pages, Krupski said. “Due to the changing traffic patterns during construction, it will be important for motorists to slow down and take their time driving through the construction,” she said.

A memo to the city’s Board of Public Works and Safety by Chuck Haberman, as sistant director of economic development for the city, indicated the innovation center would be a multifunctional building that “could include, but not be limited to maker space, educational and event areas, exhibit space, laboratories, and offices.”
“This space would be specifically designed and programmed for use by stakeholders within our identi fied targeted industries,” Haberman said.Murray said the preliminary study will also provide information about the cost, timing, potential program ming and partners that would be required to make such a facility successful. The city does not have any identified locations as to where a potential building might be located. “This initial study will not include public input, as this is purely exploration and feasibility analysis,” Murray said. “Should the city conclude that this type of facility is feasible and worth furthering our due diligence, we’ll work on when and how to move forward with next steps.”

Murray also said the city is working pro actively and strategically as it continues to develop the community to remain competi tive in the region and across the county. “Our staff has done a great job of explor ing innovative concepts and programming to stay on the cutting edge, which requires a lot of research, investigation and collabo ration,” he said.

City officials in Noblesville have approved annexing 34 acres of land for a proposed $72 million thatdevelopmentmixed-useprojectwillincludecom mercial, retail and residential space. Noblesville Common Council members voted 8-0 to approve the annexation during its Aug. 9 meeting. The project, known as Midland Pointe, was unveiled earlier this year and is being proposed at the southeast quadrant of Westfield Road and Hazel Dell Road.The multi-million project is being devel oped by Carmel-based Old Town Companies, which is also doing work on a separate mixed-use development in Noblesville known as The Village at Federal Hill located near Federal Hill Commons. The project be ing proposed includes 40,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, in addition to residential space consisting of stacked flats and townhomes. A portion of the property is zoned as commercial, while the remainder is zoned as single-family residential, said Joyceann Yelton, development services manager for the city. Yelton previously said that rezon ings are likely to occur for the project that will go before the council in the future for approval.
City hires firm to study feasibility of building

Noblesville has approved a contract with an architecture and interior design firm to explore feasibilitytheof a proposed inno vation learning center. The city recently entered into an agreement for an amount not to exceed $40,000 with Luminaut, which is headquartered in Cincinna ti and operates in Indianapolis un der the name Luminaut | Rowland. The city, which had already budgeted money for the project, intends to use the information that Luminaut gathers to determine if the type of facility is an investment that warrants further exploration, said Andrew Murray, director of economic development. Murray said the intent behind the con tract with Luminaut is to work with the firm and research what best practices are, pres ent scope and cost options. That will help the city to make a more educated decision about the feasibility of a project in Nobles ville, Murray said. Murray added that the city intends to dis cover answers such as who would use the building and any potential costs or rental fees “in future phases of our due diligence, should we choose to move it forward.”

MEET DILLION THIENEMAN Favorite athlete: Troy Polamalu Favorite show: “Hunter x Hunter” Hobbies: Hanging out with friends, playing video games and watching TV sport because I have always looked up to them growing up,” said Dillon, whose Shamrocks open the season Aug. 19 at New Palestine.Dillonhad 106 total tackles and an inter ception last season for the Shamrocks. “The most improvement I made from sophomore year to junior year was my preparation before games, along with more position and speed training, which allowed for me to play faster, smoother and have a bigger impact,” Dillon said. The Shamrocks reached the Class 6A IH SAA state championship game the last two years and lost to Center Grove both times. “I’m most looking forward to leading this team as a senior with my friends and playing both sides of the ball,” Dillon said. “Reaching state two times in two years was definitely very monumental and exciting for everyone to experience. I think it has helped to push people to finish the job with a vic tory this next time around.” Dillon became a starter his freshman sea son, playing cornerback. “He’s a phenomenal special teams player,” Westfield coach Jake Gilbert said. On defense, Gilbert said Dillon is a ball hawk.“He has excellent speed and athleticism and really good length,” he said. Gilbert said Dillon might be used more on offense this season, playing running back or receiver.

Amick said Agape has seen a significant uptick in clients with mental health illness es. Agape recently hired Marsha Farias as its first mental health provider to address the growing needs. Farias is pre-licensed, meaning she is waiting on the state to grant her mental health license. Farias, a Noblesville resident, said the COVID-19 pandemic played a part in increas ing the demand for mental health services. “We are designed to be in connection with others, and when we don’t have ac cess to that, we have negative outcomes,” sheFariassaid. said the demand also could be be cause of an increased awareness of mental healthFariasillnesses.beganvolunteering with Agape in 2009.

SERVING THE FAMILY AND THE CLIENT Steve Petrick, Noblesville, said Agape has greatly benefited his family. Petrick’s 34-year-old daughter, Ashley, was diag nosed with autism at age 3. Petrick said Ashley functions at a 3-year-old level. She requires assistance with feeding, clothing, bathing and other activities. The Petricks moved to Noblesville in 1996. Ashley began riding with Agape in 2002. Petrick said Agape has benefitted the family in numerous ways. “(Riding is) very good physical activity for (Ashley), for her muscles,” Petrick said. “Ash ley has difficulty in walking. She has sco liosis, and she walks with assistance. So,
After nearly 30 years of operating at its Cicero location, Agape Therapeutic Riding is moving to Noblesville. Executive Director Stephanie Amick said the move will facilitate more room for the nonprofit to grow.Agape is a therapeutic riding center that offers services for individuals with disabilities, starting at age 4. The nonprofit serves more than 50 diagnoses, such as autism, addiction disorder, ADHD, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and a variety of mental health illnesses such as anxiety and depression. “(The Cicero site) has served us well,” said Amick, who lives in Fishers. “But it’s like a plant in a really small pot. At some point, the roots have gotten all balled up.” Amick said the new facility, which will be built on the former Stoney Creek Farm property on Ind. 38, will triple the number of clients Agape annually serves. Agape leases land in Noblesville and will take possession of it later this summer. Amick said Stoney Creek Farm is a “very iconic” location in Noblesville. Prior to clos ing, it was known for its fall festival and pumpkin patch and also as a place where people could cut down Christmas trees. Amick said although those services will no longer be offered, the farm will serve as a home for Agape. Agape recently launched a capital cam paign to raise $14 million to cover building costs. Fundraising will take place over the next 18 to 24 months.
COVER STORY
A rendering of the future Agape facility in Noblesville. (Rendering courtesy of Stephanie Amick) WHY HORSES? Pre-licensed mental health coun selor Marsha Farias said horses can assist in therapy because of their alertness.“Because they are herd animals and they are prey ani mals, their survival depends on being very aware of their surroundings,” she said. “They will pick up on the energy that person has. So, if someone is nervous or upset, (the horse) can sense their breathing, their heart rate, if they’re upset. The horse tells us how the person is doing. If a person is able to calm themself and take deep breaths and be aware, present and mindful, the horse will relax and put its head down and take a deep breath. It’s a cool back-and-forth interaction they have.” keeping her strong and upright and walking is very important to her overall health.”
“Going to Agape is a chance for her to see people,” he said. “It is so heartwarming to go to a facility and everyone says, ‘Hi, Ashley, how are you?’ because that rarely happens to someone with no language and no real Petrickfriends.”saidhis family has connected with other families using Agape services as well.“You really have an opportunity to sit down with a group of people just like you in the same set of circumstances,” he said. “You can share stories, share resources, discuss problems. You can talk about things the average family doesn’t.”

Amick said she hopes the new location will allow Agape to continue to enhance mental health services. It also will provide more space for corporate team building. “We want to continue to grow to diver sify our revenue and create an additional stream of revenue for sustainability,” Amick said.Agape mostly serves clients from Hamil ton, Madison, Marion and Hancock counties.

Agape also has provided socialization for the Petricks. Petrick said Ashley is nonver bal, and there are few social activities avail able for her in the community.

I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV. And by TV, I mean the imaginary life I lead in my head, which in my defense, is based on both my extensive field experience while raising four children and my amazing internet-search skills. Usually, this confidence serves me well. I’ve avoided pointless trips to the pedi atrician, where they’ll just tell me it’s an untreatable virus, and at the other extreme, I know an emergency when I seeButone.for some reason, I completely missed the medical boat when self-di agnosing my injured right arm. You may recall I was 95 percent positive I had broken it, even though I hadn’t fallen or been in an accident. The orthopedic gently proved me wrong with an X-ray, and I begrudgingly accepted a diagnosis of over-use and old age. I could not, however, get on board with what the physical therapist told me, as it made no common sense that a rotary cuff issue would manifest as intense deltoid pain. And she refused to even examine me since I was only two weeks postCOVID-19. How could she possibly know what was going on with me? So, I didn’t do the prescribed exercises and allowed life to get in the way of follow-up visits. TakeUnfortunately,that! she was right about everything, and because I foolishly ignored sound, professional advice, I’m now facing something called a frozen shoulder, with an eight- to 10-month recovery period.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
It is the time from July through Au gust when Sirius sets and rises with our sun. At least, it did about 700 B.C., when Greek poets spread lore wrought from the constellation Canis Major that the brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere was imagined dragging the sun into the early morning sky, bringing with it all the heat, humidity and accom panying discomfort of the hottest days of the summer season. With time, we have come to understand that the shift ing rotation of our planet in proximity to its sun is the culprit. Yet, despite our advancing scientific understanding, we assign the “dog days of summer” to the influence of the Dog Star. For most of us, these long, hot days urge us to remain indoors and keep the air conditioning adjusted to near shiv ering levels. For others, it signals the impending end of summer vacation and the return to a new year of school. Gone are the days when we imagined this an evil time with boiling oceans, diseased zombies, bad wine and mad dogs. Now, we mostly work to make sure that all remain hydrated and that those at risk can get shelter away from the heat of theFarmersday. prepare for the coming harvest. Summer resort towns plan for the final weeks of fun. Drivers are reminded to slow down for youngsters at intersections and school zones. And college students across America return to campus. They bring with them hope for a new year, expectation of con necting with old and new friends, and desire to advance in life. Sure, they will have a little fun — perhaps the concerns about cheap drink and zombies are not entirely misplaced — but they will return months from now as better versions of themselves. These “dog days” could be their “best friend.”

Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker. Contact him at wolfsie@aol.com. Former Indianapolis Colts sportscaster Bob Lamey revered the broadcaster as well. He agreed with Carl’s sentiment that you always felt you knew Scully, that he was part of your family … even more so than the players were. According to Lamey, one of Scully’s greatest skills was to adjust his style to the broadcasting situation. Scully had a different presentation for day versus night games. During summer afternoon con tests, when there were a lot of fami lies in attendance, he might give a little extra explanation for something like a squeeze play. But at night, he was talking to true fans, not just folks look ing for a pleasant afternoon’s entertainment. “They knew what a squeeze bunt was,” Lamey mused. “No explanation needed.”

If you google G.O.A.T. for baseball announcers, Vin Scully is almost always No. 1. Scully passed away recently at the age of 94. He called Dodgers games for 67 years, both in Brooklyn and LA. Scully was also a poet and a painter. On the radio, he created vivid pic tures of what was happening on the field, but in the TV booth, he helped the viewer understand the game, and when great ball,happenedmomentsinbaselikeHenryAaron’s homerun to break Babe Ruth’s record — he let the cheers of the crowd tell the story. After Aaron hit that historic blast, Scully retreated to the restroom to heed nature’s call. He knew the next two minutes of the game did not require “his” call. When he returned to the mic, that’s when you heard his poetry. Carl Erskine, Hoosier native and former Major League Baseball pitcher, is the only living Dodgers link to the Jackie Robinson age of baseball, covering the late ’40s and ’50s (with one exception: Robinson’s widow, Rachel, just celebrated her 100th birthday). I spoke to Carl the other day in Anderson, where he and his wife, Betty, will celebrate their 75th anniversary in October. Carl explained to me what made Scully great.“You always felt he was talking directly to you,” Carl said. “You don’t get that feeling today with many broadcasters. The voice of the announcer is part of people’s lives. “

Noblesville BrewBQ fundraiser to support local students
The Noblesville Rotary Club will conduct its sixth annual BrewBQ fundraising event Aug. 20 at Federal Hill Commons that will directly benefit local students with scholarships.Theeventis from 4 to 10 p.m. at Federal Hill Commons and will include a barbecue tasting contest, live music from local bands, beer on tap from Bier Brewery and Sun King Brewery and wine from Blackhawk Winery and Spencer Farms Winery.
Carrie Dixon, former Noblesville Rotary Club president and current board member, said Rotary is a service organi zation that comes up with ways to serve and support the community.“Theevent was created some six to eight years ago by a few of our founding Rotary Club members who were career educators,” Dixon said. “Another club member involved in the early creation had a love for outdoor barbecuing.”
The funds raised at the event will support local students in technical fields of study and help them attend Ivy Tech Community College. “Our community at large has a mission through economic development to make Noblesville a place where businesses can start here, maintain and grow here with local support and workforce development,” Dixon said. “In addition to that mission, students who attend Ivy Tech and pursue technical fields of study historically do not have the scholarship op portunities that a traditional four year college offers.”
The number of scholarships is partly based on how much money is raised. “This fall, we awarded a full semester of tuition for 5 Ivy Tech students based on last year’s funds raised,” Dixon said.Tickets are $50 in advance and $60 at the gate the day of the event and all individuals must be 21 or older to attend. A ticket includes unlimited beer, wine and barbecue. Desig nated driver tickets are also available for $35 and include unlimited water, soda, and barbecue.

The World Health Organization (WHO) actively promotes breastfeeding as the best source of nourishment for infants and young children. Breast milk is specifically formulated for optimal nutrition for a new born. The composition of breast milk chang es to match a baby’s needs as it grows and its nutritional requirements change. Babies also receive immune support from the an tibodies provided in breast milk, as breast milk offers immunity in the early stages of life before a baby can receive vaccinations. In fact, studies found that breast milk of mothers vaccinated for COVID-19 carry anti bodies against the virus. In addition to the ample amount of health benefits, breast milk is economical ly favorable. Due to an infant’s changing routine, many find breastfeeding to be the most convenient feeding option due to the ability to breastfeed anytime, anywhere. Breastfeeding can help lift financial burdens associated with feeding as it offers a free, nutritional food source for babies. Additionally, breastfeeding creates a special bond between mother and baby because it promotes skin-to-skin contact. Many experts say the bonding experience during the first years of life helps lessen social and behavioral problems in both chil dren and adults. Breastfeeding even burns extra calories and helps many mothers re turn to their pre-pregnancy weight. If a new mother has questions about breastfeeding, they can turn to health plans for answers, like CareSource. CareSource provides critical information and resources to assist moth ers and families, pays for lactation consul tants that can provide members with prena tal education and postnatal assistance with breastfeeding, and provides all mothers with a breast pump and supplies.
In the opening concert Aug. 25-26, excerpts or entire pieces represent six distinctly different pieces from the GHDT repertoire.Hancock said numerous factors are in volved in the selection of pieces to include in repertoire programs, such as length and style, how the program can be structured, how the costumes complement each other and what pieces showcase the current dancers well. “All of this can make for a challenging selection process,” Hancock said. “With such a large repertoire it is impossible to tell the complete history of the company in one season, but the 2022-23 season will offer some insight on how the com pany has survived and flourished over the years. Programming is set a minimum of one to two years in advance. For all the productions planned this season, we have the pieces and/or excerpts that will be in each production determined. “However, with repertoire productions, there can be some freedom to make changes, if needed. The beauty of reper toire concerts is that audiences are en tertained with a variety of shorter works and can experience the varied textures of dance and storytelling.”
Following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and some health issues, Han cock said it is special to celebrate this season.“Thearts are constantly challenging, but the past few years have given the company, as well as me, personally, so many new and unique challenges,” he said. “Everything that happens in life, both triumphs and tragedies, are part of life and continue to add to the fabric of my character and my story.” For more, visit gregoryhancockdancet heatre.org.

The Indianapolis resident is quite familiar with Buffett’s repertoire because her uncle, Tom “T.C.” Mitchell, was a saxophonist for Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band from 1994 to 2005. Mitchell performed on 15 of Buffett’s albums.“Seeing and hearing my uncle follow his passion and succeeding in an industry that can be tough has been an inspiration to me all my life,” Scharbrough said. Mitchell finds it fitting that his niece is now in a musical featuring Buffett’s songs. “Life is chock-full of coincidences,” he said. “Of course, I can only chuckle at the idea of my dear niece also coming into contact with Mr. Buffett’s world. I enjoyed my time as a Coral Reefer and wish her, and (Beef & Boards) audiences, a ‘Lovely Cruise’ as well. Speaking of wheels within wheels, I remember Beef & Boards well from seeing shows there as a kid. “In fact, I attended a concert there that did a lot to put me on the path toward be coming a musician. This is all happy stuff to ponder.”Scharbrough, naturally, has many favorite tunes.“I’ve been jamming out to the soundtrack for months,” she said. “Each time the next MUSICAL Tom “T.C.” Mitchell played the saxophone for Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band from 1994 to 2005. (Photo courtesy of Scharbrough song starts, I have that, ‘Oh, I love this one’ moment. ‘Son of a Son of a Sailor’ and ‘Come Monday’ are my current favorites.”

This musical is the perfect fit for Sally Scharbrough, for more than one reason. Scharbrough plays the role of Jennifer and is part of the ensemble of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of “Escape to Margaritaville” Aug. 18 to Oct. 2 at the Indianapolis venue. The musical come dy, written by Greg Garcia and actor Mike O’Malley, features Jimmy Buffett’s songs.“I’m excited to share this show with the audiences. They’re really going to love the high energy and fast-paced songs and dances as well as the funny and poignant script,” Scharbrough said. “The cast is ex ceptional, and I’m just amazed with their talent. And who doesn’t love to sing along with Jimmy Buffett songs? I’ve always found the music fun and reminiscent of a carefree summer day.”
BAROMETER ‘Escape to Margaritaville’ actress has special tie to Buffett music
Scharbrough recently performed in “Mary Poppins,” “Kinky Boots,” “Beef & Boards Christmas” and “Phantom.” “It’s so hard to pick a favorite role, but I loved playing Belladova, Erik’s mother, in ‘Phantom,’” she said. “Other favorites include Patsy in ‘Crazy For You,’ Anytime Annie in ‘42nd Street,’ and Rhoda in ‘White Christmas.’ I also had the opportunity to understudy and perform four shows as Mrs. Banks in ‘Mary Poppins,’ and that was incredibly special to me. It was wonderful being able to do scene work with Eddie Cur ry. I also loved exploring her character arc as a woman and mother finding her voice and her gumption within her family.” For more, visit beefandboards.com.
The production has not been without challenges, though. “It’s a challenge in memorization, that’s for sure,” said Scharbrough, whose maiden name is Mitchell. “There’s lots of music and choreography, all to be learned in a very short amount of time.”

Today, in our ongoing road trip, we come to the Gettysburg National Cemetery, the site of Abraham Lincoln’s fa mousWhenaddress.theBattle of Gettys burg ended July 4, 1863, after three days of ferocious fighting, hundreds of soldiers from both sides lay dead or dying in the streets and fields in and around Gettysburg, Penn. Thousands more lay in shallow graves where they had fallen. It soon became clear that Gettysburg, with a population of 2,400, could not provide proper burials for all the fallen Union soldiers. As a result, the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania purchased 17 acres atop Cemetery Hill, near where Union soldiers had beaten back “Pickett’s Charge,” for a cemetery. Over several months, 3,512 Union dead were buried in concentric semicircles. Eighteen semicircles included bodies from the 18 states that had provided volunteers. Another semicircle contained bodies of United States Regulars. Another 979 bodies, never identified even as to their state, were buried in three other sections. On Nov. 18, 1863, President Lincoln came to Gettysburg by train and spent the night at the home of David Wills, a Gettysburg attorney instrumental in the cemetery’s creation. The next day, following a two–hour speech by Edward Everett of Massachu setts, Lincoln delivered the 272 words of the Gettysburg Address that he believed the world would not “long remember.” In 1865, Massachusetts commissioned the Soldiers’ National Memorial, to be placed in the center of the semicircles, near where Everett and Lincoln spoke. The 60-foottall monument, dedicated on July 1, 1869, includes a statue at the top signifying liberty. Four smaller statues represent War, History, Peace, and Plenty. In January 1912, the Lincoln Address Memorial was erected about 300 yards from where Lincoln made his famous speech. Today, the train station where Lincoln arrived in Gettysburg and the home of David Wills are popular museums. Soldiers’ National Monument at Gettysburg National Cemetery. (Photos by Don Knebel).

Commentary by Don Knebel
GRAMMAR GUY Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I love being at home. It’s where I sleep. It’s where I write. Home is where I watch Netflix. It’s an amazing place. I would be content to stay at home all the time if it weren’t for the fact that my house isn’t also a coffee shop.We have some interesting names for people where I live. In the state of Indi ana, we’re referred to as “Hoosiers.” My home state, Oklahoma, calls its inhab itants “Okies” or “Oklahomans.” While I understand “Okie,” the “Hoosier” moniker is an ongoing mystery. This got me wondering: Is there a name for the nickname we apply to people from certain places? Of course, there is! Demonyms are the words we use for groups of people from different places. We get the word “demonym” from the Greek words “demos” (people, citizens, tribes people) and “nym” (name). I grew up in Norman, Okla., where its residents are called “Normanites.” Now, I live in Noblesville, Ind., where I hope we are called “Noblesvillains,” but that can’t be right. People in New York are New Yorkers. Folks in Nebraska are Nebraskans. Yawn. I’m more interested in funky demonyms (and, boy, there are plenty of them). For instance, people in Mexico City are called “Capitalinos,” as Mexico City is the capital of Mexico. Those living in Tangier, Moroc co, are proud “Tangerines.” I can’t pronounce the word for people from Utah without yawning; I can’t even type it. They’re called “Utahns,” which just reminds me of a yawn. Sorry for making you yawn — blame the Utahns. Crossing the U.S., residents of Arkansas are called “Arkensawyers,” although many will contend they are called “Arkansans.” For some reason, all I imagine when I hear “Arkensawyer” is Tom Sawyer floating down the Mississippi in a boat big enough to fit two of every animal.
