The Noblesville City Council approved an economic development agreement for a project by PulteGroup of Indiana and TWG Development during its Aug. 15 meeting. The agreement will turn approximately 603 annexed acres into a mixed-use development bound by 156th Street, 166th Street, Boden Road and Olio Road.

CITY NEWS

The project will go before the Plan Commission in September.

The project involves creating multi-family apartments and dwelling units like condos, townhomes, flats and other types; commercial/retail space; age restricted single-family Del Webb units; and traditional single-family and specialty housing dwelling units. The project will also have a trail connectivity component.

The project will have a market value of more than $700 million, according to a press release.

To offset initial project infrastructure costs, the city will commit up to $10.8 million in net proceeds from the tax increment financing, according to Robert Herrington, a spokesperson for Mayor Chris Jensen.

Andrew Murray, economic development director for the city, and Herrington said the PulteGroup and TWG Development bonds are private costs. They said there will be no risk to taxpayers if the developer doesn’t make service payments.

Sarah Reed, community development director for the city, said the partnership has been collaborative the last four to five years.

From an updated 2021 housing study the city conducted, Reed said Noblesville had

sufficient traditional multifamily apartments and larger home units on more land but needed more attached, age-restricted and specialty boutique-style housing.

“Central Indiana is lacking housing units for people that want to move here in the thousands, and so growth is inevitable here, and we are seeing a lot of people who want to be in urban-suburban communities,” Reed said.

Herrington said the Del Webb units are age-restricted and noted that TWG told the council Aug. 15 that it isn’t expecting a lot of young children in its apartments, so the city does not anticipate extra stress being put on schools, bus drivers or bus routes.

Herrington said 60 percent of Hamilton County’s attainable housing is in Noblesville.

“We feel like Noblesville is making progress in the attainable (housing) realm and we would say that we are making the most

Macey Kessler, corporate communications manager from PulteGroup, said the company doesn’t have exact details on the price range of housing in the project.

PulteGroup will resurface and widen shoulders and widen turn lanes on Boden Road, 156th street, 166th street and Olio Road, Herrington said.

Hamilton County Council proposes tax adjustment

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

The Hamilton County Council has approved an ordinance that would increase the county’s homestead property tax credit, effectively lowering property taxes for some residents, but at the same time increasing the county’s income tax.

increase would essentially offset the state’s tax reduction, so county residents wouldn’t pay more overall than they have been.

GOVERNMENT

To be implemented, the ordinance must be approved by at least 51 percent of the vote shares on the county’s Local Income Tax Council, which includes representatives from the county council and eight communities. Each community represented on the LIT has a share of votes that reflects its population.

The county council holds 6.25 percent of LIT votes. The other communities and their share of the votes are Arcadia, .44 percent; Atlanta, .20 percent; Carmel, 28.71 percent; Cicero, 1.53 percent; Fishers, 28.49 percent; Noblesville, 20.03 percent; Sheridan, .89 percent; and Westfield, 13.36 percent.

The ordinance calls for raising the county income tax by .1 percent annually and using the revenue from that additional income tax to go toward the county’s homestead property tax credit.

The ordinance states that the new tax rate would first be applicable in 2024 and would continue until it is rescinded or modified. Hamilton County Councilmember Brad Beaver, who came up with the plan, said the intention is for the county tax to stop increasing after five years, and to accompany a state income tax reduction.

State lawmakers in 2022 voted for a gradual income tax reduction over seven years. During this year’s session, however, they amended that to speed up the time frame, and now the individual state income tax rate will decrease incrementally from the current 3.15 percent to 2.9 percent over four years.

Beaver said the county’s income tax

He said the primary goal is to offer relief to senior homeowners through the homestead property tax credit. During a presentation of the ordinance to the Westfield City Council, Beaver said throughout the county, assessments continue going up. That means property taxes are rising even though the rates are not.

“The county has not raised rates in over a dozen years,” he said. “It’s my feeling that the people that are impacted the most through the double-digit (assessment) increases we’ve had over the last two to three years — who is mostly impacted by this is retired people on a fixed income.”

Beaver said the income tax increase and homestead credit increase would be phased in at the same rate. By the end of the process, he said, the county would have an annual revenue increase of $53 million to apply to the homestead property tax credit. That credit is available to people who own and live in a home on land not exceeding one acre. Rentals, commercial property and farmland are not eligible.

Beaver said about 105,000 households applied for the county’s homestead credit in 2022.

In response to an email asking for clarification, Beaver said the county’s property tax is less than 10 percent of the total property tax throughout Hamilton County, so adjusting that part of the equation wouldn’t make a big difference to individual homeowners. The homestead credit would have a bigger impact on those who qualify.

He plans to talk to the governing bodies of each of the LIT community members to answer questions about the proposed ordinance. Beaver said it would need approval from a majority of the county’s LIT by Oct. 1 to take effect in 2024.

FREEDOM THAT LASTS

Westfield resident produces annual Dancing with Our Stars

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The names and audience members change, but there is one constant for Lorenda Carr in producing Dancing with Our Stars.

FUNDRAISER

“It really has remained consistent in the way we structure the event,” said Carr, who has been the producer since the event’s start. “The crowds are mostly new every year because the contestants are different every year, so we don’t really feel the need to change too much. We have incorporated more social media and technology over the years, but the show itself has remained consistent. One of the things that our show is known for is the videos made to introduce each couple, just like on the TV show (‘Dancing with the Stars’).

“People really look forward to those because they are always really clever and entertaining.”

The ninth annual Dancing with Our Stars event is set for 6 to 9:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Noblesville. The fundraising event, whose presenting sponsor is Community Health Network, benefits Meals on Wheels in Hamilton County.

Carr is the founder and co-owner of Dance Innovations and owner and executive director of Circle City Dance Productions. As a producer and performer, she enjoys seeing the event all come together.

“I also enjoy connecting to and working with so many amazing people in the community,” Carr said. “I especially love that we are able to raise money for such an important cause.”

Carr said her role with professional dancers is to match them with local celebrities. She works with a videographer to get all participants set up for their shoot and works with the audio/visual company to design lighting for each dance. She plans the opening and closing of the show and serves as stage manager during the show.

The business-casual event features professional dancers paired with some wellknown Hamilton County residents who compete for the ultimate prize of being named champion. Audience members vote for their favorite dancer or dancers to win the night’s People’s Choice Award.

Lindsey McVey said being one of the danc-

ers is a special challenge.

“(It’s) something completely out of my comfort zone but also something I’ll never get the chance to do again,” McVey said. “I’m also super proud to be doing something that’s so beneficial for the community.”

McVey enjoys all aspects of participating.

“The preparation has been a blast,” said McVey, who owns Just Lagom, a women’s retail boutique in downtown Noblesville. “The song and routine are really fun, and my partner, Rob Jenkins, has been an amazing teacher. It’s definitely been challenging, though. Two practices a week for an hour each is no joke. And the routine is not easy.”

Fishers residents dancing include Sherese Martin, human relations manager at Rolls-Royce, part-time HR director with Conduct Curb Autism Behavior Center and associate faculty member at IUPUI, and Deb Kurtock. senior clinical research advisor at Pearl Pathways.

Carmel resident Debby Pileri, a competitive amateur tennis player and USTA umpire, is also competing.

Other celebrity dancers are Mimi Huang, ophthalmologist at 20/20 Eye Physicians; Jody Adams, Indy regional platform manager for Napleton Auto Group; Andrew Bradford, vice president and chief advancement officer at Conner Prairie; Steven DeLee, physician with Riverview Health; Kyle Moser, co-owner of Dance Innovations; and Alec Wolf, member of Wolfpack Restaurant Group.

Along with Jenkins, professional dancers include Scott Shook, Adam Trogdlen, Ed Godby-Schwab, Xavier Medina, Natasha Cox, Yulia Shook, Diana Miller, Olga Cansino and Kristen Motz.

always features an all-star cast and we’re proud to be a part of it this year.”

The Chocolate Trail is one of Main Street’s First Friday events and has been around for at least 30 years, Baker said.

EVENT

Main Street’s First Friday: Chocolate Trail event will be Sept. 1 from 5 to 9 p.m. on the square in downtown Noblesville. Attendees can enjoy chocolate and explore downtown Noblesville.

Kate Baker, executive director of Main Street, said 20 merchants will participate, and the event map will be digitized. Attendees can visit merchants, who will scan a QR code and fill the attendee’s digital chocolate box. When an attendee’s box is completed by visiting each location on the map, they are entered into a prize drawing.

Prizes include gift cards from downtown businesses and other small items. Baker said Willy Wonka and a special guest will also visit the square and hand out lollipops.

HMC Screen Printing is among the participating businesses.

“We’re excited to engage in a community event that supports local business in such a fun way,” said Caila Camp, customer service representative for HMC Screen Printing. “The list of participants on the Chocolate Trail

“It’s a fun way to come down and experience downtown, and who doesn’t love chocolate?” Baker said. “So, (you get) to come and get a variety of chocolate but also (are) able to visit our shops and see all that Noblesville has to offer.”

Main Street is a nonprofit accredited by Indiana Main Street and Main Street America.

“I always had this sense of belonging anytime I visited, specifically the square,” Baker said. “And one of the things that I feel like is most important to me as I am involved with Noblesville Main Street and as I am a downtown resident now is I always am trying to find ways for everyone to get that same feeling that I have, that when you come to downtown Noblesville, you belong.

“(The event is designed) really just to come down, (and) experience the magic of being in downtown Noblesville on a Friday evening,” Baker said.

Competitive drive fuels Hamilton Southeastern setter

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

In Hamilton Southeastern High School volleyball coach Jason Young’s view, there are several things that make his senior setter Macy Hinshaw special, but one quality stands out.

“She is probably one of the greatest competitors I’ve ever had in our gym,” Young said. “She wants to win, and she knows every drill who wins. She is keeping score.”

Macy said she gets that drive from her mother and two older sisters.

“I am very competitive in everything I do,” Macy said.

Her sisters Kenzie and Makayla were varsity athletes at HSE. Kenzie, a 2017 HSE graduate, then played volleyball at the University of Tennessee Martin.

“I loved watching my sister play and we would always play together at home, too,” Macy said of Kenzie. “It was great having her as a role model.”

MEET MACY HINSHAW

Favorite subject: Science

Favorite athletes: Volleyball players Madison Lilley, Nicklin Hames.

Favorite TV shows: “Gossip Girl,” “One Tree Hill”

Favorite musicians: Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan

Makayla, a 2022 HSE graduate, played basketball in high school.

“Makayla played volleyball as well until she was a freshman, and then she decided to focus more on basketball, but I think she regrets not playing volleyball, too,” Macy said.

Their mother, Tisha Hinshaw, played basketball at Southern Illinois.

MORE OPTIONS FOR ELITE BRAIN AND SPINE CARE

Macy has committed to play volleyball at Santa Clara University, choosing it over Fresno State and Utah State.

Young said Macy has been a strong defender for the team her entire career.

“She’s gotten better over the years with her decision-making,” Young said. “She always made good decisions, but I’ve seen

It become a next-level thing. She’s a great teammate. She is someone the kids respect a great deal. When she speaks, people listen.”

Macy has four teammates who have committed to NCAA Division I programs. They are senior middle hitter Breonna Goss, Duke University; senior outside hitter Lauren Harden; University of Florida; senior middle hitter Tiffany Snook; University of Memphis; and senior libero Sophie Ledbetter, Ball State University.

The Royals are the defending Class 4A state champions.

“It would be amazing to do a repeat, but that isn’t our main goal,” Macy said. “We are focusing on getting better as a team and enjoying our journey instead of worrying about our end goal.”

Hamilton Southeastern uses two setters because of its depth.

“I enjoy being on the court, of course, as much as possible,” Macy said. “However, with the talent we have at HSE, we have figured out what’s best for the team and how to be successful. It worked for us last year, so that’s what we are going to continue to do because it is best for our team.”

HEALTHCARE

Goodman Campbell’s services include outpatient spine pain management, surgical interventions and treating patients who have brain and nerve damage. The Noblesville office will have expanded hours and spine care services.

According to a press release, Goodman Campbell wants to increase its reach in Hamilton County and surrounding areas. The move to Noblesville will allow patients to not have to travel to Carmel, where Goodman Campbell’s headquarters are, to receive care.

“I think once we really see that (the) majority of our patients are coming from the (Noblesville and Fishers) area, then I think we will have hit that success (mark),” said

Dr. Vince Alentado, one of two neurosurgeons at the new location. A pain management doctor is also on staff.

The Noblesville facility will be able to treat conditions including aneurysms, tumors, pituitary disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, spinal disorders and degenerative spine disease according to the release.

“Our mission is to serve neurosurgical patients, we are in our communities to serve,” said Rebecca Ruegg Cowan, chief operating officer for Goodman Campbell.

The Noblesville office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

ROCKY RECEPTION

Residents raise concerns about proposed sand, gravel extraction site

By Elissa Maudlin elissa@youarecurrent.com

Beaver Materials plans to go before the Noblesville Board of Zoning Appeals Sept. 5 to request a variance of land use to begin excavating sand and gravel from a site west of Cherry Tree Road and north of 161st Street. But some area residents aren’t happy. A group of residents who live near the proposed site have created a petition to present to the zoning appeals board, citing several complaints about the project.

According to the petition, some residents are concerned the project will decrease property value; set a precedent for other companies wanting to do work outside of neighborhoods; increase traffic; deteriorate roads; contaminate drinking water; emit air pollution and dust that might hurt wildlife; and create noise.

Beaver Materials promised in its application that the project “won’t be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community.” Ali Alvey of Beaver Materials stated in an email to Current that multiple mines from other companies have been operating near neighborhoods, such as Lochaven, Sycamore Farm, Kingswood, Wook Creek, Lake Forest and Stonewick.

Pamela Sasse, a resident near the proposed site, said she is “adamantly opposed” to the proposal.

Sasse said Beaver Materials does not know what negative outcomes could occur, specifically with lung damage, silicosis and kidney, autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases. She also said the site is surrounded by wetlands and is a protected drinking water area.

“This project, if passed ... is deplorable,” Sasse said. “This land was designated originally to be residential, and to change (it) into a gravel pit that affects so many homeowners negatively is just wrong. You are supposed to look after the best interests of the citizens you represent.”

Kurt Beard, another area resident, said he has been in communication with Beaver Materials and also opposes the project. But he said protesting the proposal without main-

taining communication with the company could give residents an even smaller voice in the future if the proposal is approved.

Beard said he doesn’t know enough about gravel extraction to know whether Beaver Materials’ safety promises are accurate.

“The ‘let’s find out’ approach is awful(ly) tough to swallow because once we find out, there’s no going back,” Beard said.

Alvey stated in an email that the company will use a water truck to wet the ground as needed while operations are underway to mitigate the potential for dust. She stated no gravel processing will occur on-site, such as blasting, crushing or wet processing. She stated that the company follows city and county ordinances and is regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration and

the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, which monitors air, land and water quality.

Moreover, Alvey stated that the company has no evidence that the project would negatively impact property values.

Sam Carpenter, executive director of the Hoosier Environmental Council, stated in an email that the project would diminish the aesthetic value of the area and could affect tourism, among other concerns. She also worries about the number of buffers for the project and open pits interacting with surface and groundwater, which could alter water cycle flows and promote erosion, sedimentation and possibly increase the risk of water contamination. Alvey stated Carpenter may not be familiar with all details of the

PREVIOUS PROPOSAL REJECTED

In June 2022, Beaver Materials petitioned the Noblesville City Council to expand Potter’s Bridge Park by approximately 50 acres for a gravel extraction project. The 2022 proposal came after Beaver Materials made a similar request in 2020 but withdrew it after the city’s plan commission couldn’t agree wheth-

request.

“The wetland and woodland areas in Indiana are providing important natural infrastructure services for clean water and air, and erosion and flood control,” Carpenter stated. “Zoning commissioners and residents need to be mindful of how new development may strain the natural services these areas provide.”

The Noblesville Board of Zoning Appeals will vote on Beaver Materials’ new request during its next meeting, which is set for 6 p.m. Sept. 5 at City Hall.

er to send the proposal to the city council with a favorable recommendation.

Some residents and the Hoosier Environmental Council remonstrated against the proposal, which was rejected by the Noblesville City Council on June 28, 2022.

What’s up with all our stuff?

Commentary by Terry Anker

Bet that’s funny-tasting beer

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

ESSAY

Recently, newspapers reported the overdose of a 25-year-old film star. He often portrayed a drug user, and it appears that art imitated life. We all invite others, who we will never meet or get to know, into our lives. We learn about them, what they think and how they dress. Whether actor, politician, musician or other, we ride along with them as if we are friends, even feeling great loss at their passing.

When gone, the times that we might have seen them in concert or attended the opening night of their masterwork become the stuff of folklore. Many remember the moment with far greater detail than our own graduations, weddings or the arrival of children! Tony Bennett on the apron of the Palladium singing a cappella, the return of Def Leppard’s drummer after losing an arm in an automobile accident, meeting Darth Vader at the opening of “Star Wars,” or maybe witnessing comedian George Carlin at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas with

eviscerating observations about Americans and our stuff, such as, “Everybody’s got to have a little place for their stuff. That’s all life is about. Trying to find a place for your stuff,” sticks with us.

In the five-minute YouTube Carlin “stuff” clip, he makes a point that is even more poignant today. We have stuff in our garage. We have stuff in our inboxes. We have calendars packed with stuff. We are stuffed with stuff. We might wonder, are we hedging our bets that there might be a catastrophe or reassuring our insecure selves that we matter because of how overwhelmed we are? Is the memory of Carlin just another bit of stuff? Does our stuff define us anymore than the lack thereof would? If life ended today, what would happen to all our stuff? Would it matter that much?

Addicted to subtitles

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Hi. My name is Danielle and it’s time to come clean. I’m addicted to closed captioning.

HUMOR

When did it start? Hard to say. I suppose like most things, my dependence on subtitles was gradual. I used them infrequently at first, finding excuses like, “It’s just while Andrew’s banging around in the kitchen” and “I’ll turn them off as soon as Doo finishes his phone call.” But then I became so used to their blocky, black-and-white presence covering the bottom quarter of my 58-inch Panasonic that I found myself overwhelmed whenever they weren’t on. “Meredith Grey’s got legs?” Too. Much. Screen.

Now, I’m to the point that I become enraged when CC isn’t available, and even worse, I’ve noticed myself jonesing for them when I’m not watching television, like when I’m in a faculty meeting or sitting in a crowded restaurant. “What the heck are you people saying?”

Luckily, I think I’ve hit bottom. I went to

see comedian Leanne Morgan perform down in Louisville recently. She speaks with a thick Knoxville accent, and from my seat in the balcony of a huge theater, I couldn’t understand roughly 20 percent of her show. My frustration drove me to contact her demanding a refund and/or a promise to install jumbotrons with voice-to-text capabilities for the remainder of her tour. “Your fan base is old, we can’t hear!” Clearly, I’ve lost my gosh darn mind.

It’s been quite the journey, to be sure, but I’m finally working on accepting the things I cannot change and garnering the courage to either learn lip reading or acquire hearing aids. My name is Danielle, and I’m addicted to closed captioning. Peace out.

I don’t remember the last time I cleaned out the fridge in our basement. It’s kind of my fridge. My wife, Mary Ellen, keeps her distance.  It was when I finally removed one of the vegetable bins for a quick hosing that I first set my eyes on it. Now, I know the excitement Louis Leakey must have felt when he gazed upon the skeletal remains of our early human ancestors. There, wedged behind the Hidden Valley Ranch on the bottom shelf, was an unopened bottle of Three Stooges Beer. Moe, Larry and Curly were grinning at me after several years chilling out in the back of our Whirlpool. Yes, gentlemen, there once was a Three Stooges Beer. No longer. No Curly Light or Moe Extra Dry, either. Sorry! The bottle was part of an assortment of exotic brews I received years ago for emceeing a fundraising event. Why didn’t I know about this beer when I was in college? Why would I sprawl out on my dorm room bed with a can of Budweiser when I could have drunk myself stupid with the world’s funniest threesome?

Lewis Chablis. In fact, that’s why most of you men have never even heard of Three Stooges Beer. For years, a dedicated band of women were buying this product and dumping it at chemical waste sites.

HUMOR

When women shop for food, they prefer brand names likes Mrs. Paul’s and Sara Lee. But, honestly ladies, did your Aunt Millie or Mama Mancini ever make you laugh?

So, in my opinion, more food should be named specifically after old-time comedians. Sadly, I don’t think Madison Avenue would take the chance of alienating women shoppers. I asked my wife if she’d ever buy Abbott and Costello Jell-O.

“Not a chance, Dick. I don’t want my food to taste funny. But I would buy Brad Pitt Olives. And I’d love some Idris Elba Macaroni. I already have stocked away 14 bottles of Paul Newman’s Own salad dressing.”

Personally, I’d buy Laurel and Hardy Beef Stew. Doesn’t John Cleese Cream Cheese sound good? And wouldn’t a bottle of Betty White Vinegar look good on your pantry shelf?

So, what happened to Three Stooges Beer? Forgive me, but I blame the ladies. Stranded in the Sahara Desert, mouth parched, near death, no woman would drink a Three Stooges Beer. You know this, of course. We all instinctively recognize that women hate anything that has to do with The Three Stooges. If they won’t laugh at them, they certainly won’t chug them. You might as well offer them a Jerry

I know what you are wondering: “Dick, will you open that rare treasure and guzzle what might be the last bottle of Three Stooges Beer?

I might. But I’ll regret it. And then I’ll smack myself upside the head.

Venson to make area debut in Fishers Blues Fest

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Jackie Venson is eager for her first visit to the Indianapolis area.

‘GRUMPY OLD MEN’

“Grumpy Old Men” runs through Oct. 1 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

LIVE AT THE CENTER

CONCERTS

“I was supposed to (visit) in 2021 but that was the year that touring was really precarious, and the show got canceled,” said Venson, a rhythm and blues and soul artist from Austin, Texas. “I think this will be an excellent way to expose myself to a new audience, and I am excited that it will be my debut Indianapolis show.”

Venson will be the headliner for the first night of the 11th annual Fishers Blues Fest, set for Sept. 1-2 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. Admission is free. Venson will perform from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Sept. 1.

“I play blues festivals, but I also play a ton of nongenre-specific festivals and festival-type events,” Venson said. “I enjoy these gigs because I have the potential to be discovered by a ton of people all at once. They usually happen outside, which means the capacity of the venue is always huge. It’s a fun and rewarding experience usually.”

Her set includes several original songs from her albums “Evolution of Joy” and “Love Transcends,” as well as her other two studio albums.

“I will definitely sneak some other selections from other albums into the set as well,” Venson said.

Venson, the youngest of nine siblings, was born and raised in Austin, Texas, and lives there now.

“There’s a very low likelihood that I will leave Austin anytime soon. My whole life is here,” said Venson, whose father, Andrew Venson, was a professional musician for 40 years before retiring.

Cedric Burnside, a blues guitarist and singer-songwriter from Mississippi, will headline the Sept. 2 show with a performance from 8:30 to 10 p.m.

Burnside’s has two Grammy-nominated albums, “Descendants of Hill Country” in 2015 and “Benton County Relic” in 2018 Tickets aren’t required for the shows. Chairs, blankets and coolers are welcome. There is no outside alcohol permitted.

‘Shortcomings’ explores relationships

Commentary by Julianna Childs

Admit it, you’ve done it. I’ve done it. We’ve all done it. For anyone who’s stalked an ex on social media comes a wickedly funny film, “Shortcomings,” about the crazy ends we’re driven to by love. In his directorial debut, Randall Park turns the awkward moment when you and your partner decide to take a breather from your relationship and spins it into a comedy of errors.

Meet Ben (Justin H. Min), the night manager of a Berkeley movie theater, and his girlfriend Miko (Ally Maki), young urbanities living in the Bay Area. Their relationship is strained because of his pessimistic and pretentious attitude toward life. When Miko gets an internship opportunity in New York, they decide to take a break.

Left to his own devices, Ben pursues excitement with an oddball co-worker, Autumn, and then a grad student, Sasha. When neither fling works out, he shadows Miko on Instagram as she explores her new city. As their communication fades, Ben decides to take matters into his own hands and visit her in N.Y. Little does he know, he’s about to get a crash course in closure, Big Apple style. Surprise, Miko is living her best life with her new beau.

Rejected and obsessed is never a good combination. Still, Ben recruits Alice (Sherry Cola), his expressive lesbian sidekick, to join him in N.Y. and gather intel. The two shadow Miko, lurking through the city streets with enthusiasm and shady decision-making, leading to a series of comic events.

Based on his acclaimed graphic novel, writer Adrian Tomine delivers a dramedy with sharp-witted characters and somehow endears the audience to Ben’s messy and hypercritical personality. In an auspicious directorial debut, Park skillfully weaves together the heartbreaking and heartfelt moments of the story.

Nut, fruit spreads add flavor

Commentary by Mark LaFay

The Indiana State Fair has ended, and I am happy to report back that my team took home third place in the barbeque competition. The top three were close in points and it was an exciting awards ceremony, to say the least!

Our team incorporated several jams into our barbecue glazes, and this got me thinking about an often-overlooked condiment on charcuterie boards: nut and fruit spreads. Often, I think we get hung up on keeping savory with savory and sweet with sweet. In reality, savory components almost always magnify or enhance the sweet.

Here are a few yummy spreads to check out. You can find them in the cheese section of local grocers Joe’s Butcher Shop, Tasteful Times, Cork and Cracker, Old Major Market and other area locations:

• Dalmatia Fig Spread: This is a staple item for every charcuterie board, made with figs from the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. This spread has a smooth texture with pops of crunch from the fig seeds. It is sweet but

not overpowering. It goes great with nuts, crackers, brie, blue cheese, sharp cheddar and more.

• B-Happy Peanut Butter: This crew started in Zionsville, making nut butters with wild flavor combinations. Their joy to the world is honey roasted peanuts, dark chocolate, white chocolate and dried cranberries. Spread it on crackers with apples or pears. They have several other flavor combinations. Browse to find one that suits you best.

• Food For Thought Cherry Habanero: Tim Young started this brand about 25 years ago in Michigan, utilizing local ingredients. This is a tasty sweet cherry jelly that has a kick from habanero and red pepper flakes. It is fantastic with goat cheese, cheddar, brie, prosciutto and mild salami.

CHS senior overcomes hearing loss to follow her passion

By Mark Ambrogi  mark@youarecurrent.com

Carmel High School senior Sophia Stephens has had hearing issues her entire life. In seventh grade, she failed a school test and learned she had a cholesteatoma, an abnormal collection of skin cells deep in the ear. She had surgery to remove it, but she remains deaf in her right ear.

MUSIC

That hasn’t stopped her from singing and writing songs.

Stephens, 17, has been writing songs since first grade, but got serious when she was in eighth grade. She has written approximately 300 songs.

Some of the songs are pop and some are more of the indie genre.

“It’s hard to put a name on my style because I write so many different songs because I like experimenting with different things,” she said.

Her favorite songs to write are rock, but those aren’t the ones on her EP (extended play) recording that she released in June called “Remnantal,” featuring four songs.

“My dad got in touch with some producers, and the producers helped to take some of the instrumental pieces we already had and combine it with my voice to put it on these websites,” she said.

The producers were from London, Portugal and Nashville, Tenn.

Stephens said her brother, Jack, wrote the piano piece for her song “Familiar” when he was 10, and it kept evolving. Stephens wrote the guitar part for “Never Spoke.” Jack, 14, wrote the piano part for “Submerge” when he was 10, too, and it’s still developing.

Stephens has been refining her songwriting throughout high school.

“I just wanted to really focus on getting stuff out there and sort of developing my brand before I go to college,” she said.

Stephens performs in the Blue and Gold choir. She has performed a few gigs at farmers markets and restaurants in Zionsville.

“I’m hopeful that I’ll have more gigs in the future because it’s really fun, and there’s a lot of good opportunities in Carmel, especially to go perform,” she said.

Stephens enjoys the choir because she gets to meet more musicians and other songwriters.

“It’s also good to help develop my sing-

ing,” she said. “I started out at Carmel being a soprano and focusing on my high register, and last year because of choir I’ve gone into an alto range and developed more of my lower vocals, which is where I sing on most of my EP. It just helps me develop my vocal cords, I guess, and focus on different elements of singing.”

Stephens, who carries a 4.2 grade point average, is a member of the National Honor Society, is ambassador for the Hamilton County Bicentennial and is co-president of the Singer/Songwriter Club. She takes lessons from voice coach Blair Clark.

Stephens said songwriting is therapeutic as far as writing out her thoughts.

Stephens started singing in fifth grade when she got the lead in her school musical, “Beauty and the Beast,” in Cincinnati. She didn’t know she could sing well before that because she didn’t have any training.

Stephens plans to at least minor in music while earning some type of business degree.

“I want to do something with music in the future,” she said. “Even if it’s just like playing at bars and stuff like that, just to be able to keep doing it.”

Stephens is designing a setlist with more cover songs, but mostly has been performing her original songs.

She has several albums she wants to release in the future with different themes with songs she has already developed.

Stephens has social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Her music is on Spotify among other sites.

NIGHT & DAY

RISE Fest to feature eight bands

By Mike Beas editorial@youarecurrent.com

Andy Binford has had Sept. 16 circled in his mind’s calendar for some time now.

LEGAL NOTICE OF STANDARD CONTRACT RIDER NO. 33 SL - STREET LIGHTING SERVICE DUKE ENERGY INDIANA, LLC

FUNDRAISER

The combination of live bands performing for various good causes with a late-summer backdrop is, in Binford’s mind, a visual that needs no touching up.

Hamilton County RISE Fest celebrates its third annual event on the acreage of Spencer Farm Winery in Noblesville.

Eight bands will perform on two different stages beginning at 1 p.m., with the final bands finishing their sets around 9:30 p.m.

The event is free and open to all ages, with donations and proceeds to benefit a selected nonprofit in each of the county’s four largest cities — Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville and Fishers.

“What RISE stands for is rockers impacting and serving everyone,” said Binford, 52, who lives in Westfield. “In late 2020, I hooked up with some local guys, and one of them knew Duke Tumatoe, who was doing some shows to raise money for Duke’s band.

“We ended up saying, ‘Let’s pick a nonprofit from the four major cities.’ ”

This year, proceeds will go to the following nonprofits: Heart and Soul Clinic (Westfield); Children’s TherAplay (Carmel); Hamilton County Veterans Corp (Noblesville); and HopeAnchor & Crew (Fishers).

In 2022, RISE Fest drew approximately 1,000 people and raised approximately $6,000.

Binford, the vice president of IWIS Drive Systems headquartered in Whitestown, id the event’s executive director.

Visiting Indiana University’s Lilly Library

Commentary by Don Knebel

With our tour of Alaska over, we will visit often-overlooked places an easy drive from Indianapolis. Today, we explore the Lilly Library in Bloomington.

TRAVEL

By 1950,

Josiah K.

Lilly Jr., then president of Eli Lilly & Co., had amassed an extraordinary collection of rare books, manuscripts and works of art. Between 1954 and 1957, he donated thousands of those items to Indiana University, forming the nucleus of the Lilly Library, which opened in 1960 in a limestone building just south of Showalter Fountain. Hundreds of thousands of items have since been added to the collection, many donated by collectors. When the 52,516-square-foot building was reconfigured in 2019 to accommodate its growing collection, murals were added to the reading room.

The Lilly Library’s 450,000 books include one of only 11 Gutenberg Bibles in the United States; the “Nuremberg Chronicles,” an elaborately illustrated account of the history of the world published in 149; the first printed edition of “The Canterbury Tales;” the first folio of Shakespeare’s collected works,

published in London in 1623; and Thomas Jefferson’s personal copy of the first printing of the Bill of Rights. The 8.5 million manuscripts include those for “Peter Pan” and “Auld Lang Syne” and two letters written by George Washington, one to Patrick Henry turning down a proposed stock gift and the other accepting the presidency. Sixteen-thousand miniature books, the world’s largest collection, include tiny versions of the Bible and Bhagavad Gita. Many of the 30,000 mechanical puzzles are displayed in the separate Slocum Room, with some available for solving. An eclectic collection of Americana includes two locks of Edgar Allen Poe’s hair — one sent in a letter to a lover just before his death — and four Oscars won by director John Ford.

The Lilly Library is open for research by appointment only. Guided tours are available every Friday at 2 p.m.
