Council approves economic development agreement for Milhaus mixed-use proposal By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Mayor Chris Jensen announced several new developments during his Sept. 21 State of the City address DEVELOPMENT including one that appeared before the Noblesville Common Council’s Sept. 28 meeting. The council unanimously approved an economic development agreement between the city and Milhaus, a mixed-use developer that specializes in urban, multi-family residential buildings. Milhaus is based in Indianapolis. The agreement is for what Economic Development Director Andrew Murray calls a “transformative project” spanning 46 acres on the northwest corner of 146th Street and River Road. “We are very excited to have Milhaus as a partner,” Murray said. “There’s been a lot of interest in this site over the last couple years and proposals we passed on to en-

sure we get the right project and the right partner before us.” The $118 million mixed-use development will be funded through developer bonds issued by the city, which Murray said is consistent with the structure of all the city’s economic development deals. The bonds will not exceed $12.7 million. The developer will purchase the bonds, and the city will pledge 90 percent of tax increment financ-
ing revenue from the project for repayment of the bonds for a period of 20 years. The payment is secured with a 90 percent pledge to the debt service of the bonds, and the city will secure 10 percent of the property taxes produced by the development, which are estimated to be $7.5 million. The estimate doesn’t include growth in assessed value. The project will include 312 market-rate, multi-family units, 10 percent of which will be set aside for workforce housing. There will be 28,000 square feet of space designated for commercial retail; 132 age-restricted multi-family units; and 102 for-sale townhomes. The project also will include trails and green space. Murray said he expects the development will spur further developments along the 146th Street corridor. Construction is expected to begin in April 2022. For more, visit cityofnoblesville.org.

FALL SAVINGS WE DELIVER AND INSTALL
Renovations of the north lobby area at Gainbridge Fieldhouse will soon be unveiled. (Rendering courtesy of Pacers Sports & Entertainment)
Fieldhouse to unveil renovations By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As Gainbridge Fieldhouse reopens the month, guests will see a wealth of new features. VENUE The downtown Indianapolis fieldhouse, which was renamed from Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Sept. 27, is nearly at the conclusion of Phase 2 of the Fieldhouse of the Future project, a threephase, $360 million renovation that began in April of 2020 and will continue through the fall of 2022. After being closed since the Pacers’ season ended in May, the fieldhouse reopened with a Dan and Shay concert Oct. 1. The Indiana Pacers play a preseason home game on Oct. 13. “We’ve taken the best, most iconic arena in the NBA and we’re making it even better, even more state of the art, and even more appealing to a new generation of fans by creating a premium experience for all,” said Rick Fuson, president and chief operating officer of Pacers Sports & Entertainment and a Carmel resident. Phase 1 concentrated on lower-level improvements and also included a new stateof-the-art scoreboard. “Even if you were back last season, fans will be blown away by the number of changes we’ve made since we started construction in May,” said Mel Raines, executive vice president of corporate communications, community engagement and facility operations for Pacers Sports & Entertainment. “Everything on the main concourse and the Krieg DeVault level is going to be brand new. There are all new concessions and new restrooms. There are new seats on the Krieg DeVault level. We’ve added a nursing mothers’ rooms. We added a sensory room for those guests who might want to step out of the show or the game for a minute and have quiet time.”
New food offerings will be rolled out at the end of this month. “We are opening up the sides of the fieldhouse, the east and west sides, with glass curtain walls,” Raines said. “The seating bowl is much more open to the concourses. Right when you walk in at the entry pavilion, you’ll see the scoreboard and feel like you are already at the game. On the north and south end, we are opening up new bars that will be done at the end of the year.” A new bar area, the Yuengling Flight Deck, is at the south end of the building that also looks into the bowl. Raines said with mobile ticketing, there isn’t a need for as much space as the box office occupied when the Fieldhouse opened in 1999. The new, smaller box office will be complete in December, but a temporary box office is open from noon to 5 p.m. weekdays on the corner of Maryland and Delaware streets. There will be new grab-and-go concession stands that allow guests to collect their own food, beverages and merchandise, which speeds up transactions and makes for a touchless environment. Raines said the skywalk from the Virginia Avenue garage will be widened. “The intent of the project from the very beginning was to create the sense that you don’t want to miss the events at the fieldhouse,” she said. “We really wanted to create different areas for different generations that like to view events differently than they did in 1999. Younger fans who might want to stand at the bar and watch the game for half a game and sit in their seat for half the game have new options to do that.” The suite numbers have been reduced from 64 to 52. Completing the balcony area is set for Phase 3 in the summer of 2022.

Pet safety during Halloween Lights and decorations, costumes and masks, a constant parade of strangers at the door — Halloween FROM THE VET can be a downright spooky experience for our pets. All the hype can be stressful, so you can minimize noise and distractions by sitting outside to keep the trick-or-treaters from coming to the door. If you do plan to get your pet involved in the festivities, here are some tips to prevent Halloween hazards. Halloween candy Don’t feed Halloween candy to your pets. Ingesting candy containing chocolate or xylitol (a common sugar substitute found in sugar-free candies and gum) can be toxic for our furry family members. Decoration dangers Keep lit candles, jack-o-lanterns and other decorations out of your pet’s reach,
including glow sticks and glow jewelry. Although the liquid in these products isn’t likely toxic, it can make pets salivate excessively and act strangely. Watch out for candy wrappers and plastic packaging, too. Pet costumes If you plan to put a costume on your pet, make sure it fits properly, doesn’t have any pieces that can easily be chewed off, and doesn’t interfere with your pet’s sight, hearing, breathing or moving. Also, take time to get your pet accustomed to the costume before Halloween. Finally, in case of a ghoulish getaway, make sure your pet is properly identified with a registered microchip, collar and ID tag.

HSE senior setter Weber guides volleyball team’s success By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School senior volleyball player Emily Weber has learned not to dwell on miscues. “I’ve made the most improvement in my mental game by far,” Weber said. “I’m learning to let plays roll off me and have next-ball mentality and to not dwell on a point I could’ve done something better.” The 6-foot Weber is the standout setter for the Royals, who were 19-2 as of Sept. 27 “I think this team has so much potential and we can go very far in the postseason,” Weber said. “Every practice, we’re getting better, and it makes me believe we can go far in the postseason.” Hamilton Southeastern coach Jason Young said Weber has been an excellent leader for the team. “She has the experience of a state (finals) run under her belt and shares that wisdom with her current teammates,” Young said. “She is a terrific player and a better person.” The Royals reached the Class 4A state

to play, and watching her fall in love with the game made me want to try it and see what it was truly about.” Weber played softball as well as basketball growing up. “Those were the sports my siblings played, and being on the basketball court or softball field was natural for me,” Weber said. “I began to focus on volleyball in seventh grade, though. I decided that it was my passion and I wanted to see how much potential I really had to play at a higher level each season.” Weber reached 1,000 career assists earlier this season. “It was always in the back of my mind and a goal I wanted to reach for myself, but the improvement and making my teammates better and giving them the best possible ball was, and is, definitely more important to me,” she said. Weber committed to play volleyball for Wright State in Dayton, Ohio in December 2020. “Wright State felt like home to me, and after talking to the coaches for months and meeting the girls, I knew that I belonged there,” Weber said.

IU Health reports decrease in COVID hospitalizations By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com COVID-19 hospitalizations at IU Health have begun decreasing after a surge caused by the delta variant. PANDEMIC Overall, COVID-19 cases in Indiana have begun decreasing, with the state’s seven-day moving average dipping from 4,268 Sept. 2 to 2,824 Sept. 26. Indiana’s test positivity rates, hospitalizations and deaths also are decreasing, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Health. Per the recent surge, COVID-19 hospitalizations peaked in Indiana at 2,687 cases Sept. 13, according to the ISHD. As of Sept. 28, 2,129 hospitalizations were reported in the state. “It is coming down, and we are cautiously optimistic,” said Dr. Rocky Singh, chief medical officer for IU Health’s Indianapolis
Suburban Region, referring to the hospital’s number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. As of Sept. 27, approximately 75 percent of all patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the region were unvaccinated, according to Singh. He said the surge in cases and hospitalizations that started during the summer has been challenging for hospital staff. “Our team members are tired,” Singh stated in an email. “No one ever expected this to continue for as long as it has. Our team members remain ready to care for anyone who needs it, and we can all do our part to support healthcare workers by keeping ourselves and others safe by getting the COVID-19 vaccine and wearing a mask in public. “One of the things we are noticing is the first wave primarily affected the elderly and compromised or sicker patients. We are seeing much younger patients and sicker patients. It is impacting younger populations this time around.”

Meal marathon tips off Oct. 14 By Chris Bavender news@currentnoblesville.com The 11th annual Million Meal Marathon kicks off Oct. 14 with a tipoff food-packing event with the Indiana GIVING BACK Pacers and Indiana Fever at Indiana Farmers Coliseum. It’s all part of the Million Meal Movement started in 2007 by Nancy and Dan Hintz of Carmel. “I saw it done in another state and fell in love with it. I was looking for an opportunity for our then pre-K daughters to be with me to do volunteer work and couldn’t find anything in the Indianapolis area,” Nancy said. “What I really loved was seeing people of all ages – seniors, toddlers, people from all walks of life — come together and work side by side in harmony.” Initially, the organization packed and sent boxes of food around the world, but during the economic downturn it realized many Hoosiers faced food insecurity. After assisting those affected by an earthquake in Haiti, the organization turned to addressing needs in its own backyard. “I felt, how can we send it far away when we have people locally who are struggling?” Nancy said. “I remember articles about food pantries popping up and families standing

in line eager to get some meals.” The packing events have always been a family affair for the Hintz’s and their children, Jessica, 21, Vanessa, 19, and Alex, 15. Every meal packed will be distributed to food banks in Indiana. This year will feature several packing events to keep groups smaller amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The tipoff will have three shifts at the Coliseum. Smaller events will be held Oct. 14 through Nov. 19 on Tuesday and Thursdays at Million Meal Movement’s headquarters, 9250 Corporation Drive, Suite 300, in Indianapolis. Volunteers are still needed.

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The last thing families of patients requiring long-term medical care want to worry about is a place to live GIVING BACK while their loved one receives care, sometimes in another state. That’s why Fair Haven Foundation founder Amanda Milner created Ada’s Place. Ada’s Place is at 1702 W. 16th St. near the IU Simon Cancer Center and IU Methodist Hospital. It’s designed to temporarily house families of patients receiving long-term medical treatment near Indianapolis. “If you’re familiar with the Ronald McDonald house, it’s very similar to that except, it serves adult patients and their families,” said Milner, a Fishers resident. “A family that needs to come to Ada’s Place are those that travel to Indianapolis, typically for treatment at a downtown medical center. What we provide for them is like a home-awayfrom-home that’s very close to the Simon

Cancer Center and IU Methodist Hospital.” Ada’s Place has 12 guest suites that can host up to 12 families with overnight lodging. “Each family has a private room with a private bathroom and kitchenette in their room,” Milner said. “We really try to make it so that everything they need is there, so they don’t have to worry about bringing things with them. It gives them a chance to have one less thing to worry about so they can focus on what they need to do to help their loved one get better.” Ada’s Place joins Fair Haven Foundation’s apartment program, which has operated since 2007 and is designed for longer stays. The average apartment stay is six weeks, whereas Ada’s Place is designed for overnight stays of up to seven days. Families can stay free of charge. Ada’s Place also will be able to temporarily house families that are waiting for an apartment through Fair Haven for longer stays. Fair Haven Foundation was a saving grace for Dorine Culver and her husband, Greg, when Greg received treatment for leukemia. Although Greg succumbed to his battle in June 2014, Culver still remembers the kindness of Fair Haven staff. Greg was diagnosed with leukemia in May 2012. In August 2012, he was at IU Methodist Hospital for a stem cell transplant. “They like the patients to come back every day or every other day to get blood and
check vitals and everything, but we lived two hours north in Fort Wayne,” said Culver, 57, who now lives in Noblesville. “They provided information about Fair Haven and a place to stay, because otherwise we would have had to have gotten a hotel. We were looking to be (in Indianapolis) for a few months, so Fair Haven was a godsend.” Milner also battled cancer. She was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2001, which ultimately led to her decision to found Fair Haven. She was working as a medical technologist with the IU Simon Cancer Center in the bone marrow transplant program before her diagnosis. Milner was recently divorced at the time with two children ages 2 and 1. She said she struggled with things like how to make mortgage payments, who would watch her children when she received treatment and how to even get to her treatments. “I saw God take care of me in so many ways with lots of family and friends,” she said. “He provided friends to drive me to treatment and help me with my kids or a place to live. Really, Fair Haven was a way to give back to patients and families. A lot of families at the Simon Cancer Center travel here from all over the state and all over the country, and they were needing some of the same things I felt like I was blessed with. That’s what Fair Haven offers for families.” For more, visit fairhavenfoundation.org.

Council members answer questions about tax incentives Commentary by Darren Peterson and Greg O’Conner In a very connected, competitive and modern economy, businesses are not simply going to show up and GOVERNMENT set up shop just because a city has a new business park. Businesses might consider nonfinancial community assets in their decision to start up, move or grow. Some factors might include climate, cost of living, education, parks and arts. However, when businesses are growing, they often use transition as leverage with city leaders. Peterson They play cities against each other — one city offers a five-year tax abatement to stay and the business will go to a neighboring community seeking a 10year deal to move. Modern economic development strategies of attracting, retaining and expanding businesses can involve a tax incentive. Incentives, particularly tax incentives, can sound like corporate welfare. However, cities do not simply give money to corporations. Cities weigh the expected long-term benefits against expected costs, including incentives, to determine whether they should proceed with a particular incentive package. If a new business buys a tract of land and builds a building on it, the building increases the city’s property tax base, which is capped at 3 percent in Indiana. The business adds to the city’s assessed value by converting a vacant parcel, thus increasing the city’s borrowing power and credit rating. If that business expects to employ people, depending on the unemployment rate, up to 90 percent are expected to be people who move to the city because of new jobs. They are all potential homebuyers or renters. The city also will receive more sales tax and user fee revenue from new

Heroes Run set for Oct. 30 By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush, the inaugural Heroes Run will meet the mission EVENT of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Community Foundation. “The goal of the Community Foundation is to connect with the community, Quakenbush help those that are less fortunate and to support the men and women here in the Sheriff’s Office,” Quakenbush said. “It’s about building relationships in the community. This is a great way for us to be able to do that. (Lt.) Jon Robison came up with the idea and he is working on planning and getting this thing up and running for our first big event.” The Oct. 30 Heroes Run will include events for people of all ages and abilities at Strawtown Koteewi Park, 11800 Koteewi Drive, Noblesville. Participants can sign up for a 1-mile walk, 5K run/walk, 10K run or a virtual challenge. The first race starts at 9 a.m., with the 10K on the trail that travels along the White River.
Robison, a purchasing agent for the Sheriff’s Office, said he runs in a lot of races. “It seems everybody is having a good time,” he said. “People are running, people are walking, bringing their kids and bringing dogs, but some (running events) are pretty lame. You show up and you run, and you are done. I like the ones that have events with periphery stuff going on like food trucks and vendors. There will be things Robison for kids like face painting.” Robison said some events can be a logistical nightmare when spread out. “But Koteewi Park is all contained, so you won’t be running on the road,” Robison said. “We won’t have to close any roads or maintain traffic or anything. It’s such a beautiful park. The trails are wide enough and they accommodate strollers and dogs.” Robison said the race organizer plans to have music and food trucks. Robison said he hopes the race can be a traditional activity during the last weekend in October each year. To register, visit runsignup.com/indianaheroesrun.

CCPR, Conner Prairie refine plans for ecology center, hotel, other amenities along White River By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Nearly since its inception in 1991, Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation has aimed to harness new opportuniDEVELOPMENT ties and public access along the White River, but more pressing projects and other hurdles often left those plans on the backburner. That’s changed in recent years, however, as the confluence of well-timed partnerships with Conner Prairie and other organizations and potential state funding sources have shortened the expected timeline. “It feels like we’re getting every bit closer. Something I thought could (happen in) 10 to 15 years all of a sudden feels like a two- to five-year possibility, which is really exciting,” CCPR Director Michael Klitzing said at an Aug. 31 planning workshop open to city officials and members of Carmel boards and commissions. Among those plans are a river ecology center, boutique hotel, farm-to-table restaurant, conference center and cabins on land owned by Conner Prairie in Carmel; upgraded parks along the river; and an expanded trail system to connect them all. Hotel, ecology center planned on Conner Prairie land Conner Prairie is best known for its living history museum east of the White River in Fishers, but a majority of the nonprofit’s land is in Carmel, where it has mostly been leased out as farmland in recent years. However, Conner Prairie’s land in Carmel is where the most significant changes are planned. The centerpiece is a White River Education & Ecology Center, developed through a partnership between CCPR and Conner Prairie, which will meet a need for a nature center in Carmel without replicating similar facilities nearby at Cool Creek Park in Westfield and Holliday Park in Indianapolis. The first phase is set to include exhibits, a citizen science lab, classrooms, multi-purpose rooms and offices. A later phase includes two smaller buildings to the north to increase classroom and office space for nonprofits focused on land, water and energy innovations and add a workforce development area. Originally, the center’s elements had been proposed under one roof, but architects are aligning the footprint with natural elements of the site.

“The plan is trying to preserve as much of the character as possible,” said Eric Lucas, principal at MKSK Studios, which is designing the project. An adjacent Land, Water and Energy District includes a two-story, 62,000-squarefoot Innovation Center that is envisioned to include an 8,000-square-foot space for small conferences. A two-story, 100-room boutique hotel with an upscale restaurant and spa is planned at the south end of the site near 16 cabins designed around the topography of the area, which includes a floodplain. “We felt there was a place here to dosomething that’s very different,” Lucas said. “We’re showing standalone cabins to dot the hills and follow the terrain.” Two farm-to-fork restaurants also are planned west of the river, one near the north end of Conner Prairie’s property near River Road and 146th street and the other on the south side of the development overlooking the White River. Park upgrades planned Several existing parks along the White River in Carmel are set to receive upgrades
that will help connect them to the rest of the White River corridor. At River Road Park, which is near River Road and 126th Street and where one of the new White River pedestrian bridges is expected to be built, envisioned upgrades include parking lot improvements, a new bridge over the Emily Vestal Ditch and the addition of rentable pavilions. River Heritage Park, near River Road north of 116th Street, upgrades planned for this year include a wheelchair-accessible nature trail and updated playground. A second phase is expected to include a relocated shelter; multigenerational fitness area and sensory gardens. CCPR is working to secure additional property to further extend the White River Greenway ultimately to 96th Street. Connecting it all Several miles of trails and two pedestrian bridges are planned to connect the future amenities with the existing trail system and to provide easier access between the east and west sides of the river. One public trail is set to run along the east side of River Road beginning at 146th
Street before connecting to the river ecology center. It would then run along the White River to connect with the existing trail system near Tall Timber Run. Klitzing expects the trail to be complete in two to three years. A southern trail expansion is set to begin at River Road Park and connect to a new pedestrian bridge over the White River and head east through Conner Prairie to Allisonville Road. The other pedestrian bridge is planned between the parking area for the river ecology center and existing Conner Prairie amenities on the east side of the river. Conner Prairie President & CEO Norman Burns said initial plans called for new trails to circumvent Conner Prairie’s land, but discussions with CCPR officials convinced him that wasn’t the best solution for the community. “We realized we needed to allow public access to our private lands and work with CCPR to make this public trail a reality,” Burns said. “We want to bring (to the public) one of the most beautiful views of the White River that happens to be in our little piece of Hamilton County.”

Romanian student lives with Noblesville host family through international exchange program By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Camelia Ignatencu of Romania is a long way from home, but that’s the point for participating in the AFS-USA foreign exchange program. Ignatencu, 17, is living with Noblesville residents Brian and Stephanie Laskey and attending Sheridan High School during the 2021-22 school year. “I wanted to learn about America and experience the culture. I have lived in many places and love experiencing cultures,” Ignatencu said. Ignatencu is fluent in seven languages. Her family is from Russia, and she lived in Spain for a short time. She arrived in the U.S. Aug. 5 and started school Aug. 9. In less than two months, she’s already visited the Indiana State Fair and plays on the Sheridan High School volleyball team. She plans to travel to Disney World during Sheridan’s fall break later this month. The Laskeys decided to host an international exchange student after adopting their son, Aiden. “My wife and I built our family through adoption. We have a 4-year-old son named Aiden adopted through domestic infant adoption,” Brian Laskey said. “That was a long and arduous process, and we knew we wanted to continue to grow our family, but we didn’t want to do adoption again just because of the financial impact. And Aiden’s at an age where bringing another baby into the house would be hard. We knew we weren’t done growing our family, so we thought about fostering, but there’s a lot of emotional tolls that happen with that, so we thought we could participate in an exchange program and host a student for a year. “It’ll be sad when she leaves, but she’s leaving for a good reason, and she’ll get to go home.” Laskey said the family wanted to host a student last year, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed their plans. The family was matched with Ignatencu through the AFS-USA program. AFS stands for American Field Service. Since the family lives in Noblesville, Las-

key said he hoped Ignatencu could attend Noblesville High School, but because of the pandemic, the school district has parameters for international exchange students that made the process difficult. So, the Noblesville family drives Ignatencu to Sheridan High School every weekday for classes. “(Noblesville) put a lot of additional lockdowns on exchange students, and one of the items they put on that was, in order to be a host family in Noblesville, you had to have a high school student yourself,” Laskey said. “Our son is only 4, so we are not able to host with Noblesville, so hopefully that policy will change. Sheridan has been absolutely fantastic and a great district to work with.” Laskey said the family rises at 6 a.m. each morning to get Ignatencu to school by 7:25 a.m. Sheridan High School turned out to be a

blessing for Ignatencu because its enrollment is only 250 students and she didn’t want to attend a large school. Her private school in Romania only has four students. Ignatencu will stay with the Laskeys through June 2022. “I think it’s been a great experience. It’s amazing to share America with someone else, but then also to learn so much about another culture,” Laskey said. “It’s great to learn about another part of the world, so we love that. She’s just a great kid. She’s very smart. It’s just incredible to see how mature she is already.” One thing Ignatencu hasn’t been able to experience as frequently as she wants is riding the yellow school bus. However, since she is on the volleyball team, she gets to ride the bus to away games. For more, visit afsusa.org.
CAMELIA IGNATENCU’S TAKE ON AMERICA • Biggest challenge about America: “Besides getting my cellphone to work, I would say it has been the lack of public transportation.” • Best thing about America: “Getting to do so much. Going to Chicago. (Playing) volleyball.” • The biggest difference between America and Romania: “The schools here are so much bigger.” ON THE COVER: Camelia Ignatencu is an international exchange student from Romania who attends Sheridan High School.

ESSAY
HUMOR
And the list goes on
A party worth waiting for
Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. No, really, let me count the ways. Everybody makes lists. We love them — grocery, favorite and bucket. In their best form, they help us to stay focused and live by priorities set by our earlier selves. In their worst form, they become false gods leading us to believe that having lists, alone and in themselves, is sufficient. Isn’t the point of lists the actions that are required to complete them and not just their creation? Regardless, lists now clutter the media, social or otherwise, with full lists dedicated to the “best lists on the internet.” Sure, it can be fun to imagine the 10 top songs of the decade or the 100 most popular names for our poodle. But in a world where our attention is sold by technology companies like cans of tomatoes, every time we click, someone makes money. And lists are the ultimate clickbait device. Following a list requires a different button to proceed from Item 1 to Item 2. The more we click, the more they profit. Universities, towns, cities, pop stars and even the producers of “Survivor Island” understand the perception value of being at the top of the list, and the web is only too eager to gain from it. Do lists have any value? Can we rely upon their accuracy, upon the design of their criteria, or even the bias of their survey? Do we know the legitimate standards by which to judge anything as “the best” or “the worst?” Even as we assume that lists are innocuous little helpers, are they giving much upon which to depend? Or do they mislead us into a trap of overconfidence? This column now includes everything on its draft list, so it must be complete, right?
What do you do when your 78-yearold father dies during a global pandemic when his peer group is most at risk? You postpone the funeral for 12 months and then party like it’s 1999! Or 2021. Really, any year other than 2020. We started the celebration of life weekend with a mother/daughters visit to his fake gravesite (he was cremated and is now scattered in various places across the U.S, including — but not limited to — Garden City, S.C., and Pebble Beach, Calif.) to toast Dad with his beloved vodka. From there, we headed to the neighborhood steak joint to reminisce about our most favorite vacation antics (Tish falling slow-mo into a pool) and Christmas Eve skits (“Silence of the Lambs”). Saturday saw a mass in Dad’s honor, complete with an honor guard of 30 judges; a retired priest who changed a prayer mid-read, muttering, “I don’t like that one;” a gospel singer who had everyone weeping with the most powerful rendition of “Amazing Grace” I’ve ever heard; and a touching eulogy given by one of Dad’s dearest friends. And I’d be remiss without mentioning that my four sisters and I stole the “show” with our introductory remarks about which of us was Dad’s favorite (it’s me, Emily, so back off!). More than 150 people joined us afterward at a reception to tell more stories of Dad, laugh at the photos that filled the space and enjoy some truly incredible deviled eggs. Waiting a year for closure was hard, but it gave us all the space and courage to celebrate Dad in a way that he deserved – a party for the ages. Peace out.

Avoid hiking injuries Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan October is one of the most popular months to enjoy fall foliage and hiking trails. Before you head out, PODIATRY make sure you take the proper precautions to avoid any foot or ankle injuries. Check out my three tips for preventing problems. PROTECTION When you hit the trails, uneven surfaces, branches or rocks on the path can cause you to misstep. That could leave you with a sprained or twisted ankle — and the need to walk back out on that injured foot. Protect yourself by picking a high-top hiking boot with plenty of ankle support. Strong, well-insulated and moisture-proof boots with steel or graphite shanks offer excellent ankle and foot support that help lessen stress and muscle fatigue to reduce injury risk. The supportive shank decreases strain on the arch by allowing the boot to distribute impact as the foot moves forward. So, if a boot bends in the middle, don’t buy it.
dry by choosing sweat-wicking athletic socks for the first layer. For the second layer, wool socks add warmth, absorb moisture and help make hiking boots more comfortable. Make sure socks and boots fit securely to avoid rubbing. Bring adhesive bandages or padding to cover rough spots and avoid further irritation. If a blister pops, wash the area with clean water, then apply antibiotic cream and cover to avoid infection. OVERUSE Pain usually occurs from overuse, even from just walking. If you’re not accustomed to walking on sloped or uneven ground, your legs and feet will get tired and cause muscles and tendons to ache. To avoid a serious injury, such as a severe ankle sprain or an Achilles tendon rupture, rest if you start hurting. If pain or swelling persists the next day from any type of foot or ankle injury, come in and see us right away.

DISPATCHES Stocks for the Biden presidency — Renewable energy is sector in which the president and the Democrats, who control the White House and both chambers of Congress, could have the strongest influence. Renewable energy was already on an upswing before the 2020 elections, thanks to falling costs, improving technology and shifting consumer demand. The president plans to make U.S. climate policy an engine for employment and economic growth. Biden’s “New Green Deal” calls for a nationwide emissions-free electricity grid in just 15 years through energy legislation, executive orders, incentives and subsidies that will benefit solar, wind and hydroelectric companies. Stocks to watch include: • Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP) owns a portfolio of more than 5,000 renewable power–generating properties including wind, solar and hydroelectric facilities across four continents. The company has projects in development that should nearly double its power-generating capacity. Recent share price: $45.22. • NextEra Energy (NEE) provides electricity for 5.5 million customers in Florida. But it is best known as the world’s largest producer of wind and solar energy. NextEra, which has increased its annual dividend for 26 consecutive years, is so far ahead of its peers in converting
fossil fuel–powered plants to cleaner energy sources that it should continue to deliver a double-digit compound annual growth rate in a sector known for low single-digit growth. Recent share price: $81.19. • Invesco Solar ETF (TAN). Many solar stocks have exhibited huge volatility in the past year, so it’s better to use an exchange-traded fund (ETF) to diversify and bet on a wide swath of them -- all of which could benefit from renewable-energy legislation and wider consumer adoption of solar energy. Invesco Solar, launched in 2008, is the largest and oldest solar-focused ETF with more than $5.1 billion in assets. It holds 30 of the top companies including First Solar, the leading US solar-panel manufacturer, and Enphase Energy, which provides solar-energy software and systems for homeowners. Recent share price: $118.45. Source: BottomLineInc.com Finding at-home jobs — For job seekers wanting to work from home, the internet is full of scams.

Civic Theatre presents all-Black cast in ‘The Color Purple’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Kendra Randle’s connection with “The Color Purple” goes back several years. “When the first cast that THEATER Oprah Winfrey presented, I had the opportunity to go see it in Broadway in New York City with my family,” said Randle, a 2007 Lawrence Central High School graduate who was in middle school at the time. “That was Randle one of the first Broadway productions I ever saw. It was great to see people who looked like me and people of color to be performing. You don’t often get to see an all-Black cast. “It was a very powerful thing for me at a young age. It tells a powerful story as well.” Randle is now set to perform as Nettie in Civic Theatre’s production of “The Color Purple,” set for Oct. 8 to 23 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The presentation features the first all-Black cast of a Civic Theatre production since 1988 when it staged a version of “Guys and Dolls” in Indianapolis. The musical adaption of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book spotlights Celie, a down-trodden young woman whose personal awakening through the course of 40 years forms the center of the plot. “The Color Purple” was made into a 1985 movie featuring Winfrey. Randle plays Nettie, Celie’s younger sister. “It exudes sisterhood and the relationship she has,” said Randle, who is an assistant principal at an Indianapolis middle school. “I don’t have a sister in real life, but I have an older brother. I’m the baby of the family, and in the show I also play the baby. I’m looking to embody what it looks like to have that relationship with a sister. I’m close to my brother. “Also, Nettie wants to be a teacher. I

taught in the classroom for seven years and went on to administration.” Indianapolis resident Bridgette Ludlow plays the lead role of Celie. “I had seen the movie before and seen the Broadway revival of it with Cynthia Ervio,” Ludlow said. “I’ve always followed Cynthia Ervio’s career and thought it was a fantastic role to play. Celie is just an interesting character to play. There are a bunch of challenges. It’s mostly having to separate myself from the character of Celie emotionally. In the show, Celie is beaten down verbally and physically and mentally. It’s definitely a challenge to go home after being so engrossed in the script. She is always told she is ugly. We all have our own insecurities and I know I have mine as a person, especially being an actress. “It’s hard to go home and separate myself from that.” Indianapolis resident Miata McMichel plays Squeak, Harpo’s mistress, in her first Civic production. “I’ve seen the movie several times,” she said. “It’s really heavy content, so I wasn’t
allowed to watch when I was young. I’ve not seen it on stage before, only YouTube clips of it. Normal human nature is to turn your nose up at the thought of the other woman. It’s been fun to tell that story on stage of the other woman. It gives the mistress a human side.” McMichel said the stage version gives Squeak’s character more depth. She also said having an all-Black cast again at Civic is long overdue. “I’m just glad to be a part of that groundbreaking moment,” she said. “Hopefully, we’ll see more of that in years to come.” Jonathan Studdard plays two roles — the Preacher and Ol’ Mister. He also is part of the ensemble. “It keeps me on my toes, for sure,” Studdard said. “It’s a little busy, but I love it.” The Indianapolis resident had played the title role in “The Cat in the Hat” several times at Civic. Studdard, who grew up in Carmel, performed as the Preacher and in the ensemble in a version of “The Color Purple” on a regional tour several years ago.

Actor gets dream role By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Phantom has been a dream role for Logan Moore since he was a kid. “But not MUSICAL this Phantom,” Moore said. The Indianapolis resident was a fan of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “Phantom of the Opera.” Moore “However, I have fallen in love with (Maury) Yeston’s ‘Phantom’ and the story of Erik, the Phantom,” Moore said. “The Phantom is more human in this version and actually has a story that gets to develop in the show. You get his backstory. You learn about his mother and father, why he lives in the catacombs underneath the opera house. There is also a beautiful number with Erik and his father at the end of the show that will make for no dry eyes in the house. Getting to know who Erik is and what he has gone through in his lifetime has been quite the undertaking, but what an actor dreams of being able to portray.” Moore will perform in Beef & Boards Din-
ner Theatre’s production of “Phantom” from Oct. 7 to Nov. 21. He learned about “Phantom” when Richard White came to Beef & Boards to perform in “Man of La Mancha.” White played Erik in the world premiere of “Phantom.” “What I have learned while sharing the stage with Richard White is that he unapologetically throws himself into whatever character he needs to become,” Moore said. Curry “Richard showed that the connection was extremely important. I loved sharing the stage with him because I trusted him fully due to that connection.” Indianapolis resident Eddie Curry played Joseph Buquet in the first production of “Phantom” that Beef & Boards presented in 1993. This time, Curry plays Carrière, a role he has wanted to play since the first time he saw the show. It is a role the late Jack Dabdoub debuted in the world premiere with White. Curry got to know Dabdoub when working with him at a theater in Galveston, Texas. Curry also has worked with White. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

‘The Addict’s Wake’ set to premiere at Heartland By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The team of “The Addict’s Wake” faced its share of obstacles en route to earning an entry in the Heartland InternationFILM al Film Festival. The documentary follows the opioid epidemic in Brown County. “Producing ‘The Addict’s Wake’ feature documentary was tricky because we had to raise the funding (and) gain the trust and support of the residents and law enforcement of Brown County,” said Amy Pauszek, the film’s producer. “We had to figure out how to film it during the height of COVID-19.” The film’s premiere at Heartland, which runs from Oct. 7 to 17, will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 11 at Newfields, 4000 N. Michigan Rd., Indianapolis. A second showing is set for 5:15 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Living Room Theaters, 745 E. 9th St., Indianapolis. Pauszek, a Geist resident whose “Where’s Amy?” photo column runs in Current newspapers, had the idea after a Facebook post from a friend who had to attend another funeral of a young person who died because of substance use disorder. “I knew this was my next documentary with producer/friend Lisa Hall, a former Fishers resident, who felt the same passion and drive to make a film that would touch others and make a difference,” Pauszek said. “Lisa moved to Brown County a few Current Ad TCP 9.22 Lighter Bckgd.indd 1

years earlier and learned there was a meth and opioid epidemic close at heart in her picturesque town that looks like a Norman Rockwell painting but is viciously fighting a war on drugs.” They connected with Zionsville resident Michael Husain to direct. Hall served as executive producer. “We faced challenges as a team along the journey with Michael fighting COVID, Lisa breaking her foot and I was in and out of the hospital dealing with surgeries and serious medical issues. We formed a strong-bonded team and stuck together to produce a powerful film,” Pauszek said. Pauszek said they have plans to screen it at select festivals. In addition, she said they will seek in-person and virtual screenings in multiple markets, such as businesses, academic institutions, treatment providers and health care networks. “There is a community connection that our team helped forge together that will bring emotional awareness, reduce shame and stigma associated with (substance use disorder) and cast a vision that recovery is possible for all,” Pauszek said. “We believe our audiences will leave feeling hopeful and with the resiliency of the human spirit. While this feature-length documentary was filmed in Brown County, it is a microcosm of what is happening across our nation.” For more, visit heartland film.org and theaddictswake.com.

Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya
Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 2450 E. 146th St., Westfield What to get: Spicy ramen Price: $14 Anna’s take: Since National Noodle Day is Oct. 6, I wanted to publish a review about a noodle dish in advance to give you a chance to celebrate. One of my favorite restaurants is Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya, and I always order the same thing — spicy ramen. The dish consists of rich pork broth flavored with a house-made blend of chilies, garlic and spices. It has pork chashu, or braised pork, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and, of course, plenty of noodles. It’s a warm, comforting dish that is always incredibly

tasty. Also, be sure to try the pork gyoza ($6), which are pan-fried dumplings served with a delicious soy-vinegar dipping sauce. Kizuki has a great little bar, and my boyfriend and I are regulars. We visit almost weekly, order a sake and gyoza to enjoy at the bar, then take the ramen home.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern living room in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene This 1992 home is in downtown Carmel. The new owners were eager to refresh the dated living room into a more sophisticated space.
After
THE BLUEPRINT • The fireplace is now the focal point of the room, with oversized tile positioned dramatically from floor to ceiling. • The former fireplace, hearth and mantel were replaced with a sleek fireplace insert. • Luxury vinyl flooring replaced the carpet and connects the living room to the adjoining kitchen (remodeled at the same time). • A custom built, curved island support is the perfect transition between the living room and kitchen.

History of Turkey Run State Park Everything about nothing Commentary by Don Knebel
Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
The 2,382 acres of Turkey Run State Park in Marshall encompass some of Indiana’s most unusual geology. The TRAVEL park also features memorials for the man and woman most responsible for its existence. For 2 million years, glacial meltwaters carved canyons, gorges and other geologic features in a sandstone area in Parke County locals named “Turkey Run.” As a teenager, Juliet Straus frequented the heavily wooded area. In 1915, after becoming famous as a columnist for Ladies Home Journal, she urged Indiana’s governor to preserve Turkey Run in its natural state. At the same time, Richard Lieber, a German immigrant, sought to establish a state park system to preserve Indiana’s natural resources. The efforts of Lieber, Straus and others led to the creation of Indiana’s state park system in 1916, the state’s centennial year. Using private funds, Turkey Run was purchased and given to Indiana the same year. In 1918, Lieber purchased a cabin built from tulip poplar logs in 1848 and moved it to the park, where it remains. Straus died the same year and her memorial, featuring an elegant statue by Hoosier sculptor Myra Reynolds Richard, was dedicated in 1922. Today, the park includes 30 miles of trails, ranging from easy to rugged, some of which follow streambeds. One trail leads to Sunset Point and spectacular views. Another leads over a suspension bridge to Rocky Hollow Falls Canyon Nature Preserve. An easy trail leads to an 1871 log church, moved to the park in 1923, that conducts nondenominational Sunday services. A memorial near the church contains Lieber’s ashes and those of his wife. Overnight guests at Turkey Run State Park stay in the 61 rooms in the inn or in
I can rattle off several words that mean “nothing.” Today, I’d like to define variations and synonyms of “nothing.” “Bubkes” (or “buGRAMMAR GUY pkes”, “bupkus”) is the Yiddish word for “nothing” or “the least amount.” If the local high school football team is lousy, you might say, “They won’t win bubkes this season.” “Diddly-squat” means “the least amount” or “anything at all.” “Goose egg” is a sports term meaning “zero.” It is a term taken from the shape of the numeral zero, which resembles an egg. “Hill of beans” means the least important amount or value. If my debate opponent didn’t look favorably on my argument, he might say, “Your unverifiable statistics about annual falling coconut deaths don’t amount to a hill of beans!” “Nada” is a Spanish word for “nothing.” If you’re looking for “nothing,” you’ve found it. “Nil” also means “nothing.” We get it from the Latin word “nihil.” If you’re consid-

ering taking up nihilism as your guiding life philosophy, it won’t amount to anything. “Naught” (also “nought”) is a flexible word that can mean “nothing, zero, or not much.” The spelling variant “nought” was more popular than “naught” until the late 19th century. “Null” often takes on legal connotations, meaning “having no legal or binding force.” We get it from the Latin word “nullus,” which means “none.” “Zilch” means “nothing,” but around the 1930s it meant “an insignificant person.” The word’s origins are early 20th century, and in 1931 we find a character in the comic “Ballyhoo” called “Mr. Zilch.” “Zip,” as a verb, can mean “fast.” But, as a noun, “zip” means “zero” or “nothing.” If your lousy hometown high school football team scores no points, you might say, “Those bums lost 27 to zip.”
