Indiana Chamber identifies key legislative issues By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Indiana Chamber of Commerce President Kevin Brinegar spoke on the organization’s key 2022 legislative priorities POLICY during a Dec. 10 legislative session preview breakfast at The Bridgewater Club in Westfield. The event was co-presented by the Westfield Chamber of Commerce, Noblesville Chamber of Commerce, OneZone Chamber of Commerce and Northern Hamilton County Chamber of Commerce. Brinegar said the chamber’s top priorities for 2022 are economic recovery and modernization; education and workforce development; energy and environment; taxation; technology; and workers’ compensation. Upcoming legislative update sessions presented by the Hamilton County chambers are Jan. 14, 2022, Feb. 11 and March 11. Each event is from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St. Registration can be completed at any of the participating chamber’s websites. ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND MODERNIZATION Brinegar said one of the Indiana Chamber’s top priorities is opposing government mandates regarding vaccine requirements. “We don’t want the federal government telling employers they must vaccinate, and if they don’t get vaccinated, they have to fire them,” Brinegar said. “We don’t want the state to do what Tennessee and a couple other states have done. We believe the employers are in the best position to decide their best policy.” Other economic recovery and modernization priorities include increasing incentives for attracting remote workers to Indiana and support measures to promote entrepreneurship in the state, such as expanding venture capital investment tax credit eligibility, promoting entrepreneurship in youth via access to grants and curriculum and opening pathways to create startup businesses for people 18 and under. EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Brinegar said his top two priorities in these areas are to support measures that enhance early child care access and quality and support strengthening college and career readiness for Indiana students. “The lack of affordable, high-quality child care across Indiana is one of the outside factors most negatively impacting attracting and retaining workers,” a handout from the Indiana Chamber stated.

Brinegar said he wants to address college and career readiness by alleviating the business liability burden for students under 18 who participate in work-based learning experiences; strengthening graduation pathway requirements and aligning those more seamlessly with Indiana high school diploma options; and creating potential for members of the business community to serve as adjunct faculty at K-12 schools. ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT Much of Brinegar’s discussion on energy focused on solar. “Right now, we have a hodgepodge of rules and guidelines and, in some cases, prohibitions,” Brinegar said. “We have this contradiction where more and more Hoosiers want us to have renewable energy and want to have access to renewable energy, but when it comes to siting windmills and solar farms, they say, ‘Not in my backyard.’ Folks, we can’t have it both ways. Some counties are banning windmills altogether. Let’s have one statewide standard. Right now, we are losing out on investments in renewable energy because of complications because of prohibitions, etc. “If you have to transport renewable energy, it’s very expensive. It’s much better to have right near the homes and businesses it is trying to serve. It’s going to be a tough push up the hill, but we are going to continue to make the point we need a statewide standard.” TAXATION Brinegar said the Indiana Chamber opposes any substantial change to the structure of the Indiana Tax Court as an independently operating judicial court of special juris-

diction. The Chamber supports maintaining and enhancing the state’s “attractive tax climate.” He said business personal property continues to be the tax area where Indiana stands out negatively because there is a 30 percent depreciation floor that applies to all personal property assessments. “Many states don’t tax machinery and equipment, and those who do don’t tax as high as we do,” Brinegar said. “It’s a big source of local income for local government. It’s an elephant that can’t be swallowed all at once, but we’d like to take a bite out of it.” Regardless of how old business equipment is or how much it has depreciated, he said business owners still have to pay property taxes on no less than 30 percent of the equipment, even if the equipment has depreciated to only 10 percent of its original value. “It makes no sense,” Brinegar said. “That’s something we’d like to tackle this session.” TECHNOLOGY The Indiana Chamber supports the expansion of research and development, manufacturing, testing and deployment of electric vehicles. Brinegar said by 2025, electric vehicles will account for 10 percent of all vehicle sales globally and are expected to increase to 58 percent by 2040. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION The Indiana Chamber supports a cap on reimbursement for ambulatory surgical centers when it comes to worker’s compensation. Brinegar said cost savings from tying ambulatory surgical centers workers’ compensation reimbursement rates to Medicare will provide increased benefits without a subsequent increase in employer rates.

Residential development proposed By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Common Council members heard introductory information for a proposed 32-acre residential COUNCIL development at the northwest quadrant of Greenfield Avenue and Boden Road at the Dec. 7 council meeting. The development, called Allegro, would consist of 185 for-sale townhomes and 36 for-sale cottage homes. The development is proposed immediately to the west of Ruoff Music Center. Representing the developer, Forestar Group, attorney Steve Hardin presented information about the development. If approved, the townhomes would have two or three bedrooms and range in size from 1,550 square feet to 1,780 square feet. Prices would be between the low $300,000s and $330,000 for the townhomes. The cottages are three bedrooms and will range from 1,250 square feet to 2,200 square feet with price ranges from the mid$300,000s to $385,000. “There won’t be (age) restrictions, but it’s

anticipated from the developer and builder that these will be aimed at the young millennials that are looking to own but don’t necessarily want to manage a large property,” Hardin said. If approved, construction is expected to begin in the spring. The proposal is scheduled to appear before the Noblesville Plan Commission in January 2022 before returning to the council for a vote.

ZCHS junior forward Hall takes game to new level By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In Zionsville High School girls basketball coach Andy Maguire’s view, junior forward Laila Hall has improved in every aspect of her game. “Her outside jump shot has improved,” Maguire said. “She spent a lot of time this summer and offseason working on her shooting form and improving her shot. She has also gotten much stronger inside. Her work in the weight room has paid off and she is able to finish better through contact. Her rebounding has been outstanding.” Prior to Dec. 16, the 6-foot-1 Hall was averaging 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game for the Eagles (7-3). “Overall, she has become a better leader on and off the court, and her maturity has been a big part of our success this season,” Maguire said. “Her play on the court has been very valuable. Her scoring is important to our success, but her rebounding and ability to defend have been keys to our success.” Hall averaged 17.9 points and 7.8 re-

Favorite movie: “The Wizard of Oz” Favorite musician: Steve Lacy bounds as a sophomore and 13.4 points and 5.1 rebounds as a freshman. “I feel like my patience and rebounding have made the biggest improvement in comparison to my previous seasons,” Hall said. “I have been taking the weight room a little more seriously this year and it has definitely assisted in my rebounding improvement. I started taking APC, a weightlifting class, during school and it has been really helpful.”

Hall is rated as a four-star recruit and ranked 57th in the class of 2023 by HoopGurlz/espnW rankings. She already has 15 college offers, including from Big Ten schools Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota and Purdue. She also has received offers from Butler, Florida, Seton Hall and Oklahoma. “I am looking to narrow down my list sometime in 2022 for sure, but I’m not completely sure (of) the exact time,” Hall said. “I am really looking for strong relationships, similar to how my high school team is now, and a system that is supportive and not adamant on putting restrictions on my game or anyone else’s.” Hall said she is extremely optimistic about Zionsville’s potential. “I think the sky is the limit for us if we can be consistent and play the way I know and have seen us play,” Hall said. Hall has played basketball since kindergarten. She played soccer when she was younger and ran for the track and field team in middle school.

about leading globally,” Jensen said. The USGLC noted mayors are on the frontlines every day, addressing global issues that have become local issues and getting things done for the citizens they serve. Jensen said his administration is working to make Noblesville and the community “better each day because our small acts will add up.” Jensen said Noblesville’s mental health initiatives have global significance. An example is the Mental Health Mondays lives-

tream that was started when the COVID-19 pandemic began. In its letter to Jensen notifying him of the award, the USGLC said that as a member of its Indiana State Advisory Committee, the organization was grateful for the mayor’s “strong voice about the importance of America’s role in the world.” The USGLC honored several mayors from across the nation for their leadership. This is the first time Jensen has received the award.

In-house NHS course leads to groundbreaking DNA sequencing research By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School teacher Caitlyn Foye didn’t want her students missing out on research experience. So, when the COVID-19 pandemic made medical internship placements unavailable in the spring of 2021, she brought biomedical innovations — a senior capstone course — to the Foye classroom. “The decision to bring the biomedical innovations internship in-house was more out of necessity than choice,” Foye said. “The students who are taking biomedical innovations have worked for four years with the expectation of being able to complete a medical internship in their eighth and final semester of the Project Lead the Way course series.” Foye said students were bitterly disappointed when medical internship placements were unavailable in the spring 2021 semester. “The students were devastated, and I started to consider how to provide them with an authentic internship experience that could be completed with the supplies and equipment we have available in our classroom,” Foye said. “Looking back on it now, I believe the students may have been able to be more hands-on with this molecular-genetics experience than shadowing in a medical setting, and that brings me a lot of joy to know that we made the best of a tough situation.” The students’ DNA sequencing research has been published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, an international database. It is being published in the Indiana Sciences Academy Journal, in partnership with their teacher, this month. “I think it shows how great (Foye) was at being able to adapt to the situation that we were in,” said Josh Lamantia, one of the four students who worked on the project. “It was great she was able to adapt to a bad situation and make the best out of it and still get us really good lab experience, which is important for any field that I and my fellow classmates would want to get into.

Noblesville High School biomedical innovations teacher Caitlyn Foye said she was thankful to the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation and Donald Pappas at Ivy Tech for the roles they played in the students’ project. The project was funded through a $2,500 grant from the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation. Ivy Tech supported the project through use of high-tech equipment at its facilities. “When I started planning for this experience for the students, I quickly realized that while this project would be able to be completed in our school building, my course did not have any funds for the supplies for the project because students are usually off campus at their internships for this semester,” Foye said. “NSEF was extremely supportive of the project, and without the funds from the foundation, none of the work would have been possible. Ivy Tech was also instrumental in the completion of the process. We were so fortunate to use their biotechnology lab and the help of Dr. Pappas to allow the students to see the sequencing step in action. Typically, this step of sequencing is done by shipping samples off to a biotechnology company, receiving back data in a couple weeks’ time. “This is both expensive and takes that experience of sequencing in the lab away from the students. Dr. Pappas graciously allowed us to use their new sequencing machine at the Lawrence campus and helped us through this step of the process, further providing Noblesville students with this very unique opportunity.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

The squeeze is on

Not decking any halls

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Many media outlets reported last week that the rate of inflation in the United States surpassed its 39-yearhigh mark posted in 1982. Then, Madonna was first “Burning Up” the stage and “The Dukes of Hazzard” raced to top ratings. Fueled by any number of variables, including — but not limited to — the lingering effects of the pandemic, those of us not benefitting from the seismic shift in the way we work, live and shop continue to be caught in a gap. Although wages are increasing, they are not able to keep up with the sticker spike of almost everything. And America’s small businesses struggle to pass through the surging costs of labor and materials to we consumers, who, back to the beginning of the circle, must demand higher wages to compensate for increasing prices. With shrinking margins, business owners push on their suppliers to reduce their fees and drive their own beleaguered employees to the brink with additional demands on their time. If labor outlays grow with no way to pay, increased efficiency per job may be the only path to achieve financial balance. If we are all richer, how can we be getting poorer? Families live amid wages outpaced by inflation; and employers are caught between customers expecting reductions and staff demanding increases. For now, the squeeze is on. Eventually, we will adjust. We must. Increasing expenses and decreasing margins invariably lead to bankruptcy or abandonment. If there is no reason to work, why do it? Isn’t the same true for both our families and businesses? So, we plod along looking to pass our problems off to someone else, to take their surplus to help prop up our own deficit. Is it just the simple nature of things or should we demand a redistribution? Who is to benefit?

I’m feeling weird. As you know, our little six-pack will be abroad for Christmas, and though international travel always is a bit stressful, and particularly so during a global pandemic, this is the most relaxed December I can remember since becoming a parent 23 years ago. Literally, no Grinch in sight. What gives? For starters, we have no family obligations whatsoever. There’s no debate on when we’re going to Louisville to celebrate with my mom and sisters, there’s no coordinating Mass and Christmas Eve dinner with my husband Doo’s folks, and there’s no determining a time for either set of cousins to do a gift exchange that ultimately ends with us single-handedly bringing Five Below into the black. We have completely eliminated ourselves from the multiple equations that normally drive me bonkers. “It’s a Wonderful Life,” truly. Secondly, I don’t have to worry about gifts for Doo or any of the kids. Not one. Airline tickets and room/board were paid for months ago and are far more than Santa usually brings. I’m not even doing stockings for fear their hand-knitby-my-nanny socks might get lost en route. Our 2021 “Miracle on 34th Street” is that we’ll be on the Champs-Élysées! And you’re welcome. Finally, I scaled way back on the home décor. I brokered a fake tree, deep-sixed the insufferable 12-house light-up tabletop village, and apart from some garland around the front door, did not do anything with the front yard. In terms of set up and maintenance, less is abso-“Elf”-ly more this year. So, yeah, I’m feeling weird. But I’m Red Ryder-excited by this far-less stressful “Christmas Story.” Peace out.

Mirthful memories, Part 2 Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Here is Part 2 of my look back on the people, places and peculiarities that made it into my column in 2021. To the various streaming services that have made it difficult for the Wolfsies to stay friends with anyone who doesn’t subscribe to the same options we do: This makes it tough to find things to talk about over dinner. I feel bad about Mikki. She doesn’t have cable. We had been so close for 30 years. I miss her. To my friend Marc Allen, who has been the subject of dozens of butt dials because his name is the first on my contacts list: He asked to be taken off the list, so now my insurance agent Ashley is getting all my unintended calls. She told me she is changing her name to Zelda. And thanks to me, who has been trying unsuccessfully to be a grumpy old man, a title I deserve to have at 75: To attain this distinction, I complained about everything in my neighborhood. I yelled at kids for playing basketball in our cul-de-sac Sunday morning; I wrote nasty letters to people who put their garbage out a day early. I left nasty notes for people who left their garage doors open and who didn’t shovel their sidewalks. Did people call me grumpy? No! They elected me president of the homeowner’s association. Thanks to the dental website I went to that warned against eating sugary treats: I had the best laugh of the day when I read at the bottom of their homepage, “We Use

Cookies.” To the young man in the office supply store who seemed stumped when I asked for a landline phone for my office: “Oh, I don’t know if we carry them,” he said. “But look in the very back corner of the store next to the carbon paper, the white-out and the floppy disks.” To the folks at AARP who sent me my 300th copy of their bulletin that included recommendations for how to live a stressfree life. For example, AARP said to take time to appreciate your partner’s skin (I thought that sounded very romantic. Then AARP added: “Be on the lookout for suspicious moles.” Well, that kind of ruined the mood). To the chirping noise that went on in our house every 30 seconds: We could not locate the problem and it was driving us crazy for three days. We finally located the errant smoke detector. The constant chirping has had no lasting effect on us, but our cat is still in therapy once a week. To Mary Ellen, who was traumatized when our cat killed a mouse in our basement storeroom: She humanizes the animals, and her heart goes out to them. I suggested we try to not think about it that night and just watch a fun movie. “Ratatouille” was probably a bad choice.

Co-owner Jordan Fox said despite all the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020, the business only averaged 60 to 70 percent of its 2020 sales in 2021. “Just that huge cut in revenue and people still not coming out full force and rent being the same at the mall, unfortunately we can’t keep the business running anymore,” Fox said. “We don’t have enough to keep the lights on.” Fox and her husband Stephen live in McCordsville. They opened the franchise in May 2019. Stephen never left his job as a construction project manager, so he is still employed. Fox was recently hired as a customer care specialist and event coordinator at a realty office. “I’m taking a brand-new road in life,” she

Mug Club is a membership opportunity at certain Books & Brews locations. Fox said she and Stephen also are friends with the owner of the Brownsburg and Zionsville locations and the owner of the southside Indianapolis location. “We will absolutely still be frequenting those locations to give our support to them,” Fox said. Fox said she and her husband don’t have plans for future restaurants or breweries, but she appreciates all the regular customers and organizations within the Noblesville and Fishers communities that supported the business. “We had over 300 Mug Club members, and only being open two years, that’s a pretty great accomplishment,” Fox said. “We had a strong relationship with the OneZone Chamber of Commerce and with Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and with Hamilton Southeastern Schools. Everyone in the community has been so supportive. Good things have to come to an end sometimes.”

COVID-19 vaccines are safe for young children Commentary by Dr. Charles Harris The Pfizer vaccine has been approved for kids as young as 5 years old. The Hamilton County Health Dept. enPANDEMIC courages you to get your child vaccinated as soon as possible, as the vaccines are both safe and highly effective at preventing COVID-19. We understand some parents are concerned about the vaccine’s safety — questioning the speed at which the vaccine was

developed and distributed. However, it’s important to remember the COVID-19 vaccine has been through rigorous testing and thorough review. Consider the following: • The science behind the Pfizer vaccine has been in development for 20 years. • Tens of thousands of volunteers for clinical trials enabled rapid accumulation of data on safety and effectiveness. • The vaccine completed three phases of clinical trials like all other vaccines.

• COVID-19 vaccines are the most closely monitored vaccines in U.S. history. It is also important to note that among the 100-plus vaccines currently approved in the United States, none (including the Pfizer vaccine) have ever resulted in long-term side effects. Which begs the question, what about the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis from receiving the vaccine? While risk of heart inflammation after vaccination has emerged as a concern for older children, it is considered less of a risk

for young children partly because myocarditis usually occurs after puberty. Of the more than 3,000 children in the 5- to 11-year-old vaccine trials, not a single reported case of myocarditis occurred.

Dr. Charles Harris is the Hamilton County health officer.

Carmel couple reach pinnacle with world ballroom dancing championship By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It has been quite an eventful year for Jonas Kazlauskas and Kathleen Ilo. They were engaged Feb. DANCING 20 and celebrated the birth of their son, Renzo Vincent Kazlauskas, in March. Five months later, they were back in high-powered ballroom dancing competitions. The Carmel couple captured the 2021 World Professional 10-Dance Championship Sept. 18 in Ukraine. It was their first world title. Their previous best finish in the World Championships was third. The 10-Dance is a combination of the five standard ballroom dances (waltz, tango, Viennese waltz, foxtrot, quickstep) and five Latin dances (cha cha, samba, rumba, pasodoble and jive). “There are people that specialize in just five,” Kazlauskas said. “Then there are people like us who like both and cannot choose, and we can do both quite well. It’s probably the hardest category.” Ilo credits the couple’s drive to prove they could balance home life and competing for their success. “We want to prove that it’s possible to do both,” Ilo said. “You can have a family and still chase your dreams.” Both agreed it was a major sacrifice not having as much time with their baby, especially because the COVID-19 pandemic made for a crowded schedule. The week prior to the World Championships, the couple also won the United States 10-Dance Championships for the fourth consecutive time on Sept. 11 in Orlando. “We were home for three days, trained and then left again,” Ilo said. “Actually, I had a left knee issue, and the last two days we couldn’t train before we left for World, I was watching him practice.” Ilo said adrenaline helped pull her through the competition. After the Worlds, the couple won the United Kingdom 10-Dance Championships

Sept. 25 in England. “Those competitions usually happen sometime (within) in a year,” Kazlauskas said. “This time, it happened all in the same month because of COVID.” Kazlauskas, 30, and Ilo, 33, teach at Starlite Ballroom, which is owned by Ilo’s parents, Rauno and Kristiina Ilo, on the northwest side of Indianapolis. “The fact that Kathleen pushed so hard to get back to where we were was amazing,” Kazaluskas said. Ilo was active through her pregnancy. “I taught my last lesson the night before giving birth,” she said. “My first lesson I taught was two weeks after he was born. We really started to come back training about a month after he was born.” Kazlauskas’ mother stayed with the couple to help with the baby when their training picked up. “It gave us a lot more freedom to work and train for these competitions,” Ilo said. Ilo said it was hard to get her stamina back after giving birth. “It was a lot of Jonas pushing and sup-

porting,” she said. “Usually, I’m the driving force to (say) let’s go practice.” That changed after the birth of their son. “She was saying, ‘Can’t we stay home and hug him for a bit?’” Kazlauskas said. “We wanted to defend our national title.” Ilo was born in Estonia but moved to Carmel at a young age and graduated from Cathedral High School. The couple met when Ilo advertised for a dance partner. “He came here for a tryout, and it obviously worked out,” Ilo said. “That was in August 2014.” The couple has returned to teaching and getting ready for a 2022 wedding. Although not much prize money is awarded at competitions, Ilo said the prestige does help attract students, who are mostly adults. But Kazlauskas would like to see ballroom dancing become bigger for boys like it is in Europe. “Once we do retire (from competition) and I have more time, I will spend energy toward that,” he said.

The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will perform Handel’s “Messiah” at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 23 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Darren’s Ballroom members excel in competition

NHS teacher is Grammy Music Educator finalist By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

By Chris Bavender editorial@youarecurrent.com It’s been an amazing past few months for dancers from Darren’s Ballroom in Carmel, who traveled to Los AngeDANCE les in late October to compete in the Hollywood Dancesport Championships. Several dancers were named top in their divisions, while owner Darren Cupp won Top Instructor. The studio was also named Top Studio out of more than 150 competing studios. Cupp said this year’s competition was special after it was canceled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The competitors and performers at my studio do it for a reason,” Cupp said. “When that is taken away from us, you start to find yourself looking for and missing that creative and challenging output that dance provided for you. We were all very anxious to get back out on that competition floor and prove we still had it. That’s exactly what they did. “

From left, Stephanie Jackson, Julie Phillips, Darren Lee Cupp, Kelly Miller-Crider and Priscilla Turner pause at the Hollywood Dancesport Championships. (Photo courtesy of Darren’s Ballroom)

Dancers competing this year were Priscilla Turner, who has been dancing at the studio for 12 years; Julie Phillips, who has been with the studio seven years; Kelly Miller-Crider, who has been with the ballroom for four years; and Stephanie Jackson, who has danced with the studio for about 18 months. All four are from Carmel. For the full story, visit youarecurrent. com.

Catalina Island’s Avalon Bay. (Photos by Don Knebel)

A visit to Catalina Island Commentary by Don Knebel With winter upon us, I am suspending my visits to Indiana landmarks in favor of warmer destinations. TRAVEL About 10,000 years ago, Native Americans discovered a 22-mile-long island, 29 miles south/southwest of present-day Long Beach, Calif. A Spanish explorer stumbled onto the rugged island on the eve of St. Catherine’s 1602 feast day and named it “Santa Catalina.” In 1919, chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. purchased controlling interest in the company, owning 99 percent of what is usually simply “Catalina.” Using Wrigley Field’s architect, he built a summerhouse on a hilltop overlooking Avalon, the island’s only incorporated city, and began bringing his Chicago Cubs in for spring training. To give the island a European flavor, Wrigley and his wife installed Westminster chimes on a hill above Avalon Harbor. On May 29, 1929, Wrigley opened the 12-story Art Deco-style Catalina Casino, its 20,000-square-foot rooftop ballroom still the largest circular room in the world without interior support. Mainlanders flocked to the Casino (which has never had gambling) to hear the big bands and watch movies in its theater. Hollywood celebrities came to Catalina because of its relaxed atmosphere, some joining the still-exclusive Catalina Yacht Club. U.S. presidents joined the island’s famous Tuna Club. Catalina was the location of a number of movies, including “Mutiny on the Bounty,” which is responsible for its palm trees. Descendants of bison imported for “The Vanishing American,” a silent Western, are now an attraction.

Catalina’s glamorous history and pleasant ambiance attract visitors from around the world, most coming by ferry. Others arrive at the Airport in the Sky, built in the 1940s atop a hill. The many attractions include a long zip line, a glass-bottom boat and the candy store where 17-year-old newlywed Norman Jean Dougherty (Marilyn Monroe) worked as a taffy puller. The Wrigley summerhouse is now a hotel. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com.
