Council introduced to $250 million development
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
At its Oct. 15 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council was introduced to a preliminary development plan for Morse Village by developer LOR Corp. The project is a $250 million housing development on 174 acres near the intersection of E. 206th Street and Hague Road in Noblesville.
CITY NEWS
If approved, LOR Corp. would begin construction in the spring of 2025. LOR Corp. estimates the project would take five years to complete.
In the preliminary development plan summary, LOR Corp. CEO Adam Hill said the project would have three main areas, including North Pointe, which would feature a village-style commercial building with more than 300 multifamily units and townhomes; South Pointe, which would have approximately 200 high-quality, single-family homes with a centralized green space for community gatherings; and West Pointe, which would focus on townhomes and condominiums for a “community-centric living option.”
The project also would include sidewalks and trails connecting to Morse Reservoir and existing trail systems in Noblesville, according to Hill.
Hill said the project aligns with Noblesville’s Comprehensive Plan for a mix of residential and commercial spaces and would enhance local traffic flow with a single-lane roundabout planned.
Last month, Noblesville Communications Director Lexie Rock said the development would complement existing amenities, including Morse Reservoir, golf courses, parks, trails and green spaces.
Following the announcement of the development during Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen’s State of the City address last month, residents raised concerns regarding the bald eagles on the property. Hill said LOR Corp. have a 330-foot protection
radius around the nest to create a buffer zone where development is prohibited.
“This preservation area, encompassing over 5 acres of land, will remain undeveloped to provide the eagles with a safe and undisturbed habitat,” LOR Corp. stated in its development plan. “We plan to transform this unique feature into a park-like space where residents can observe and learn about the eagles. The park (would) include educational signage detailing the eagles’ role in the ecosystem and the importance of wildlife preservation.”
The next common council meeting is set for 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at 16 S. 10th St. in Noblesville. For more, visit morsevillageliving.com.

Student designs featured on new Pleasant Street corridor
ART news@currentnoblesville.com
The City of Noblesville’s Utilities Department worked with Noblesville Schools to incorporate student artwork on the wastewater tanks at the treatment facility along the recently opened Pleasant Street corridor.
Noblesville Press Secretary Robert Herrington said the initiative is part of a collaboration to incorporate student artwork into the community and “beautify” the new corridor. The artists whose designs are featured on the project are 2024 Noblesville High School graduates Abbie Martz and Rihanna Hartman and NHS junior Michael Taylor.
Herrington said Noblesville Utilities Director Jonathan Mirgeaux organized efforts for students to design artwork for the wastewater tanks on the grounds of the Noblesville Utilities Department. Last month, the utilities department had volunteers paint the murals on the three tanks.
“The Reimagine Pleasant Street Project is more than an infrastructure project and the collaboration with student artists further enhances this new corridor in our community,” Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen stated. “Incorporating local art has
been a major piece to the project, and we appreciate the students taking the time to design Noblesville-branded murals that will be displayed for the thousands of motorists and pedestrians that will pass by along this new roadway and trail.”
NHS Art Department Chairwoman Livia Briar tasked her two digital design classes with coming up with ideas. Students needed to incorporate the city logo and make designs for the concrete drums’ specific dimensions.
Briar said every student in her two classes submitted a design.
“I had students who incorporated depictions of Indiana wildlife and flowers, geometric patterns and a variety of scenes,” Briar stated. “There was a ton of variety in the designs. I am really thrilled that the city reached out to us and gave students the opportunity to create something for their hometown. The opportunity (to apply) the graphic design skills they had learned in class to a real-world public art project was unmatched. And the finished paintings look absolutely amazing. I’m so proud.”

Comment period open for diploma requirement proposal
news@currentnoblesville.com
The comment period is open through Nov. 8 on the second draft of the Indiana Department of Education’s proposal to redesign diplomas for Hoosier high school students starting with the Class of 2029.
EDUCATION
The revised proposal reflects public feedback of the first draft, according to a news release from IDOE.
The release of the second draft Oct. 11 was accompanied by a statutorily required public comment period. Parents, educators, community members and other stakeholders can provide written feedback online. Feedback will be reviewed prior to publication of the final draft.
An initial draft of the new diploma rule was first presented in March. That draft received more than 8,000 online comments and hours of testimony from residents across the state. The IDOE stated that feedback centered on the need to balance flexibility and student choice while ensuring a well rounded education; ensuring diploma requirements are rigorous and attainable and prepare every student for success regardless of their post-high school plans; elevating the importance of experiential learning opportunities; and providing sufficient resources needed for school corporations to implement this work statewide.
Although the first draft proposal included two diploma options, the revised proposal includes one base diploma with
minimum requirements for every student, as well as the opportunity for students to earn readiness seals aligned with their unique path.
The proposed base diploma includes increased flexibility and course options for earning credits in core content areas, such as English, math, science, social studies, physical education and health, according to the IDOE. In addition to core content areas, students will take personalized electives, which can include a variety of courses, such as career and technical education, performing or fine arts and/or world languages.
Students will have the option to earn readiness seals in enrollment, employment and/or enlistment. The readiness seals were developed to provide students and parents with a better understanding of a blueprint for success in whatever path a student may choose.
Seals will be available at two levels of readiness — honors and honors plus.
Indiana’s current graduation requirements will sunset Oct. 1, 2028, making final requirements effective for all students beginning with the Class of 2029. As proposed, schools may opt-in beginning with the 2025-26 school year.
The IDOE and the State Board of Education will hold a public hearing at 10 a.m. Nov. 8 at the Indiana Government Center South Conference Room B, 402 W Washington St., Indianapolis.

Organizations discuss ways to help veterans
news@currentnoblesville.com
The Hamilton County Veterans Corp. recently hosted a breakfast to discuss the future of the county’s veteran community.
DISCUSSION
HCVC invited members of the five American Legion and two VFW Posts in the county to the discussion with several nonprofit military service-connected organizations about future collaboration.
“So many organizations out there are working for the same audience, the same cause and all are trying to do the same thing, but they are reinventing the wheel over and over again and are getting nowhere,” stated Bill Doss, secretary for HCVC. “This event will hopefully allow each organization to be a part of one voice, working together to make Hamilton County the place to be for our veterans.”
A Healthier Hamilton County discussed a grant it received from the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs for the Governor’s Challenge on the prevention of veteran suicide. Doss said the group is working to locate veterans and introduce them to benefits and resources.
Hamilton County Department of Alcohol & Other Drugs is working on an initiative to acquire mental health assistance that will be free for veterans. Representatives discussed how the VFW and American Legion Posts can assist in designing the tool.
Doss said HCVC is looking to reconvene the group in December, with discussions to create a drive for goods and funds to help the Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County deliver Christmas essentials for those in need.

German exchange students visit Noblesville
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
EDUCATION
Students from Usingen, Germany, visited Noblesville High School this month as part of a cultural exchange program.
Director of Communications and Marketing for Noblesville Schools
Marnie Cooke said the students stayed in Noblesville and attended
classes with NHS student hosts.
Exchange student Karolin Kloeppel said the NHS school building has more opportunities than her school in Germany. She said her time in America has been enriching.
“The most rewarding part is getting to know a lot of new people, learning something about a new culture and experiencing the American high school life,” Kloeppel said.
Jackson Ahern, who hosted two
exchange students, said the combination of cultures in his home was enlightening.
“It’s a very educational experience and a great (way) for households to become more open-minded,” Ahern said.
The hosting NHS students will get their turn at international travel when they visit Usingen in the summer of 2025.

County marks one year since groundbreaking
news@currentnoblesville.com
It’s been one year since Hamilton County broke ground on its $45 million Baker’s Corner/U.S. 31 Infrastructure Investment Project.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Hamilton County Communications Director Tammy Sander said the project extends sewer and water utilities to the Baker’s Corner area north of Westfield on U.S. 31.
“Our main objective is to give residents the option to connect to our utilities, especially given the health concerns surrounding high E. coli levels and failed septic systems in the area,” Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt stated. “This project addresses those concerns and encourages high-quality development that can provide high-earning jobs and essential services to our growing community.”
The new utility district covers boundaries stretching from approximately 3 miles east of U.S. 31 to approximately 2 miles west of U.S. 31 and 216th Street north to
296th Street, encompassing 42 square miles, according to Sander.
Sander said the Indiana Economic Development Corp. has designated 80 acres in the region for agricultural businesses.
“With these improvements, we are also expanding broadband access and making crucial road enhancements for the growing populations of Cicero, Sheridan and other northern towns along the corridor,” Heirbrandt stated.
Chief Executive Officer of Wessler Engineering Marty Wessler said he anticipates the water and sewer systems will be operational by the first quarter of 2025, allowing residents to begin connecting to the utilities.
Sander said funding for the project includes $25 million from Hamilton County’s share of the American Rescue Plan Act, $10 million in bonds and $10 million from the state of Indiana. An additional $20 million from the state will facilitate the creation of the Hamilton County Regional Utility District.

County commissioners, council discuss child care facility
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
During a joint session of the Hamilton County Commissioners and Hamilton County Council Oct. 2, updates on a Hamilton County child care facility for Riverview Health and county employees were discussed.
COUNTY NEWS
Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman gave the update on the proposed child care facility on Lakeview Drive in Noblesville. Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger previously discussed the facility at the State of the County luncheon June 26.
a partnership with the county, the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and Riverview Health.
Dillinger said the facility was proposed because several years ago, the county was losing employees and had a difficult time competing with the benefits packages of other employers.
“We decided to develop and maintain health insurance coverage that was comparable to any of the big corporations, and that helped us retain older employees, but for younger employees, that motivation wasn’t quite as big,” Dillinger said. “There’s been problems in getting that younger age group, because there was no child care center. So, that’s the reason we applied for
Noblesville goalkeeper develops quickly in first varsity season
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Noblesville High School junior soccer goalkeeper Alex Eberhart made a quick transition from junior varsity to varsity.
“I think I made the most improvement in my decision making this season, which was something I really had to work at to make big decisions in split-second moments,” Eberhart said.
The Millers, who had won the past three IHSAA Class 3A boys soccer state titles, reached the sectional final Oct. 12 before losing to Carmel 1-0 to finish with an 11-2-6 record.
“Alex is the main reason we were successful this season,” NHS coach Ken Dollaske said. “He has grown so much since last year. Alex was a JV goalkeeper last year and this year he had to fill the shoes of an All-American (Cole Thompson), and he did so admirably.”

Eberhart played in every game this season, allowing only 11 goals in 18 games. The 6-foot-1 goalkeeper had eight shutouts.

from last year to this year,” Dollaske said.
“His vision and communication from the back have been huge bright spots for us this season. He made saves this year that he would not have made last year. The growth was amazing. Plus, he had never saved a (penalty kick) in his career. This year, he saved two. His senior year will be something special.”
Eberhart said he expects the team will be strong in 2025.
“Given that it was a younger team and many of our guys had never played a varsity minute until this year, I think we absolutely made strides,” he said. “To play the schedule we did and get the results we did was not an easy task at all. We consistently challenged ourselves and made big improvements throughout the year, thanks to our coaching but also the strong, growth-focused mindset of our players.”
Eberhart’s favorite high school memory was watching the Millers defeat Warsaw on penalty kicks last year in the Kokomo Regional semifinals.
“It was great to watch and be able to learn from Cole,” he said.
Eberhart has played for Indy Premier for five years.
“I started playing soccer at 5 years old and started to play goalie around age 10. I played goalie and other positions, too, until I was around 13 and that is when I started playing goalie only,” he said.

Meet the District 5 Congressional candidates
Four candidates are running for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, representing parts of Hamilton, Madison, Delaware, Grant, Tipton and Howard counties. The candidates are Democrat Deborah Pickett of Carmel; independent Robby Slaughter of Elwood; incumbent Republican Victoria Spartz of Noblesville; and Libertarian Lauri Shillings of Carmel.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO RUN FOR THIS OFFICE?
Shillings: I believe in responsible government spending, modern education and accessible healthcare. I am a lifelong Hoosier with working-class roots who has become exhausted by the disconnect between our federal government and its people. I will bring a locally rooted, commonsense point of view to Washington, D.C. Spartz: To deliver on some major tough issues neglected by many Congresses for a while, like national debt, so we stop governing by crises.
Slaughter: “A bad system will defeat a good person, every time.” That old quote illustrates what’s happened in our political system: the parties and special interests make sure our government responds
to money instead of voters. We need independent candidates to have a Republic again. That’s why I’m doing this. Pickett: To serve my fellow Hoosiers, and to fight for our democracy and the institutions, rights and freedoms that have been denigrated or taken from us by a former Republican president and his complicit followers.
WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM YOUR OPPONENTS?
Shillings: I am not a career politician. I have worked service and labor jobs my entire life in Indiana — from detasseling corn, waitressing, bartending, local newspaper graphic designer, to a marketing creative director and adjunct professor in higher education. I want to represent regular voters and their needs, not corporations, life-long politicians, or the elite.
Spartz: Experience, determination and proven track record of results.
Slaughter: They are partisans, I am an independent. They must follow what their parties demand or suffer consequences; I am for the people. They have spent $8.5 million so far in this race; I’ve spent almost nothing. Their party allowed them to run; I collected 6,000 signatures.
Pickett: My military experience as a U.S. Army Reservist, knowledge of international trade and economic issues
acquired from working at Hudson Institute, and my many years of community service set me apart from my opponents. Affection, concern and respect for Hoosiers of all ages makes me their fierce advocate.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE CAMPAIGN ISSUES?
Shillings: Inflation: The government’s inability to balance its budget drives inflation, passing the bill onto the people. Individual choice: In a free society, the government has no role to prohibit such behavior as long as people do not resort to violence, force, fraud, or theft. Education: I look to free-market approaches to provide education that best suits individual students and their families, while building a system that makes our future workforce competitive in a global marketplace.
Spartz: Economy, national debt and health care, border security.
Slaughter: The greatest challenge in our nation is not foreign policy, education, the budget or the border. It’s trust: we don’t trust our leaders anymore. And the only way to restore trust is to give up power: term limits, radical financial transparency, and fighting corruption and incompetence.
Pickett: My top three campaign issues are protecting our democratic republic, fighting for and codifying our reproductive rights, and restoring trust in government by working with others to make our government effective and efficient for the people.

SOCKTOBER
Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville participates in national sock-donation drive
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville has rallied local community partners this month to participate in Socktober, a national initiative started in 2011 by Brad Montague, a writer and illustrator, to collect socks for people in need.
For Socktober, communities reach out to local shelters, set a goal for how many pairs of socks they want to collect and then drop off donations. BGCN members connected with Noblesville nonprofits Prevail, Third Phase and Family Promise to designate them to receive donated socks.
BGCN’s Director of Operations Abigail Stutesman said BGCN has character- and leadership-building clubs, where youth members participate in community service activities. The members decided to participate in Socktober.
“Socktober is nationally recognized and this is our first time doing it,” Stutesman said. “The group clubs that are 10 years old and older have been competing against each other in a ‘sock-a-thon’ to see who could collect the most pairs of socks.”
Members of Torch Club, Keystone Club and Smart Girls, which are small groups within BGCN, have collected more than 2,000 socks, surpassing their original goal of 1,000.
On Oct. 11, all club members were invited to take part in packaging the socks with handwritten notes. BGCN also partnered with Kodiak Solutions, which provides technology solutions to health care organizations, who helped run crafts and activities.
“We wanted to open it up to the entire club so that all the members could participate in this act of service. So, we had a Socktoberfest, and more than 270 members from kindergarten to 18 years of age packaged the socks,” Stutesman said. “Kodiak Solutions helped us run stations like sock puppets, a sock toss and we did sock bingo.”
Club members also chose which community organizations would receive the socks.
“The children had to research each of them,” Stutesman said. “Knowing that the

three organizations meet families or individuals when they’re in a crisis and are a resource to the community, the kids found them to be who we can help support with Socktober.”
Prevail in Noblesville, 1100 S. 9th St., helps adults, teens and children who have experienced trauma because of domestic violence or sexual abuse/assault. Stutesman said Prevail is a first stop for many families when they need a helpful resource.
Prevail Executive Director Tami Wanninger said it is rewarding to see the families that come through Prevail pick out free socks.
“Each December, we partner with another organization to ensure our families have a wonderful holiday,” Wanninger said. “One of the things that we also like to do is ensure our families and survivors have additional items, and one part of that is ensuring everyone has a pair of socks. It is important for us to make sure our survivors have opportunities to pick out a special pair of socks or something special
Third Phase at 15755 Allisonville Rd. in Noblesville is an emergency homeless shelter and has a food pantry, a food pantry distribution network and a thrift store.
Sandra Van Den Berg, director of Third Phase, said the first thing people look for when they come to the organization is normally a pair of socks or underwear.
“Socks might not mean much to just anyone, but it does to them,” Van Den Berg said.
“When they get a new pair of socks or any toiletries, it just shows them someone cares about them. The initiative is awesome because when they find a new pair of socks, they really are thrilled.”
Family Promise of Hamilton County at 1051 N. 10th St. in Noblesville helps homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence. Executive Director Alicia Klingerman said the donation will help support its families as they look for housing options.
“We support families by providing housing resources, a shelter program and other things necessary to support those struggling with housing insecurity,” Klingerman said. “So, the sock donation will be great for families in our shelter that may not have the clothing items they need, or other
Besides participating in Socktober, the Noblesville Boys & Girls Club is conducting its annual Stuff the Bus event in November. Stuff the Bus is a fundraiser to purchase nonperishable goods, warm clothing and other items for the Noblesville Township Trustee office.
“We have not donated the socks yet. This is the season for our group clubs to dive into community service. So next month, we kick off our Stuff the Bus, which we’ve had since 2009. If we continue to get socks after we’ve already donated them, we will put them to that event,” BGCN Director of Operations Abigail Stutesman said.
Stutesman said the club needed to enhance its canned food drive, which inspired the creation of Stuff the Bus in 2009. Bus seats will be sold to sponsors for the initiative.
“It’s a fully well-rounded project where once a sponsor makes the donation and purchases a seat, the day before Thanksgiving, our group clubs go to Meijer, and they learn how to maximize the dollar,” Stutesman said. “They’re buying items for the Trustee’s Office that they need. So, they build these carts that fulfill the sponsorship donation we’ve gotten, and we showcase all of our donors and sponsors in the Holiday in Lights Parade.”

New studio helps artists achieve their dreams
By Jennifer A. Haire editorial@youarecurrent.com
Nestled in the heart of Carmel on Medical Drive, Artist Development Studio is a new full-service, state-ofthe-art facility to help musical artists achieve their dreams.
A resource for the music and performing arts community, the studio offers private coaching lessons in a variety of musical crafts.
“The idea is to cultivate artists, to get them to be the best that they can be,” said Blair Clark, who has coached young artists for more than 25 years.
Instrumental lessons are offered in bass, drums, keyboard and guitar. Voice lessons in show choir and musical theater, as well as other skills such as audio engineering, looping and DJing, are also offered. Additionally, the studio provides rehearsal and recording space rentals. Clark, 32, of Carmel, is president of Artist Development Co., which operates as a booking agency between artists and community businesses. As an extension of ADC, he created the Artist Development Studio, designed to focus on the artists.
“What I realized is something that’s needed in the community of art is an organization that takes you from the beginning to the end,” Clark said. “Gives you goals, helps you get prepared and then sets you free to go out and get those opportunities in high school, middle school and in the professional marketplace.”
Clark saw the need for a place that appeals to younger artists as well as more advanced performers who want to improve. His solution was a space that could meet the needs of the artists at their skill level and help them grow.
“Blair is a creative force and visionary with an ability to bring together and showcase talents,” said Joseph Filipow, a local musician, DJ and entertainer who has worked with Clark for several years. Coaches work with artists to identify
long- and short-term goals.
“From the beginning to adult, sometimes the career is just, ‘I’m going to high school (and) I want to get the leads in the musicals,’ and we want to help them with those goals, as well as the ones who decide after college or after high school, ‘I want to be a professional artist,’” Clark said.
Additionally, coaches work with individuals who are interested in the nonperformance, business-side of the industry, as well as prepare artists for the professional environment.
“In the music business, you have to know a lot of different things that have nothing to do with the actual music,” Clark said.
The space has state-of-the-art equipment sourced locally through Piano Solu-
tions. It also has rehearsal rooms with 10- to 20-foot-high ceilings, double-glass doors and drapes for privacy. ADS has collaborated with local artists in the community to feature local artworks.
ADS has hired Indianapolis-based company Vertical Studios, a hands-on marketing educational program, to assist in getting the word out about the unique services ADS provides.
Lessons are offered Monday through Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with Friday and Saturday options based on instructor schedules. Rehearsal space rental dates are available online.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. Oct. 23, with the grand opening scheduled for Nov. 17 at 1 p.m.

GHDT presents ‘Autumn Nights’
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
For Gregory Hancock, travel is essential for learning and inspiration.
MUSICAL
Hancock, executive director of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, spent time this summer in Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. In Latvia, he visited the Salaspils Memorial, site of a former Nazi concentration camp and prison from 1941 to 1945. Now, it is a memorial commemorating the lives lost at the prison.
Hancock had visited Latvia numerous times but had not been to Salaspils.
“When I entered the memorial grounds, inspiration arrived so quickly,” he said. “The seven large concrete statues that depict the different prisoners in the camp had a brutalist, yet very emotional, feel. I immediately saw a dance piece in my mind where the statues would tell the stories of this place.”
The result is “Beyond These Gates The Land Groans,” which will open GHDT’s “Autumn Nights” Oct. 25-26 at The Tarkington at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The second half of the show will be reprisals of “The Seven Deadly Sins” and “The Visit.”
Hancock said the memorial was a fascinating place and there were no signs describing anything.
“It is designed to elicit an emotional response from visitors that can be very personal,” Hancock said. “I have designed the piece in the same way. Even though the dancers have a character and a story, I have left the interpretation up to the viewer. I was at the memorial grounds in late July and began to construct the piece at that time. For this performance, the dancers have worked about 6 1/2 weeks on
the piece. Inspiration often comes unexpectedly and from interesting experiences. Often, pieces are very clear in my mind immediately, but other times it becomes a gradual process.”
Hancock said the soundtrack for the piece is the sound of a human heart beating and nothing else until a 2-minute violin solo at the end.
“My choreography is usually extremely music-driven,” he said. “To not have music but just the sound of a heartbeat was a wonderful new way for me to create where the movement was not dictated by the music, but the story, emotions and individual strengths of each dancer. This way of working provided me with a new artistic freedom, where the movement remained extremely organic.”
“The Seven Deadly Sins” was previously performed in 2019 and “The Visit” was presented in 2009.

Children’s Choir gala set
By Les Morris editorial@youarecurrent.com
The Indianapolis Children’s Choir is reaching a fundraising crescendo with a rebranded event Nov. 8 at Ritz Charles in Carmel.
FUNDRAISER
Previously called Big Fun Event, the annual fundraiser has been rechristened The Indianapolis Children’s Choir Gala. There will be more singing, more activities and two auctions. There also is an increase in expectations. Last year, $49,000 was raised. The goal this year is $65,000.
including caroling at the cocktail hour and multiple times during dinner. Bids will be taken from an auctioneer to bring the choir back for an encore in a finale called “Call for the Choir.”
Speaking of auctions, there will be a silent and live auction at the gala. The highlight of the live auction is a jersey signed by Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark and a week’s stay at a home on Lake Michigan.
“This is the first time we are officially calling this our ‘gala’ to let our supporters know to expect a very nice evening,” said Joshua Pedde, ICC’s executive artistic director and a Carmel resident. “Plus, the vintage holiday theme this year ties into our concert season as singers prepare to present ‘A Vintage Holiday’ concerts in December.”
Guests will hear choir voices of approximately 100 singers throughout the evening,
The night also will include a holiday photo booth, an audio guest book where attendees can use a rotary phone to leave a message about the ICC, and a signature mocktail, the Holiday Sparkle.
The Indianapolis Children’s Choir Gala is open to the public and will run from 6 to 10 p.m. at Ritz Charles, 12156 N. Meridian St. in Carmel. Individual tickets are $125 and include hors d’oeuvres, dinner, beer and wine and the musical programming. Tables of eight are available for $1,000. The deadline to purchase a ticket or table is Oct. 24. Sponsorship opportunities are available. For more, visit iccchoir.org/gala.
Blues guitarist books Palladium
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
British blues singer-songwriter Joanne Shaw Taylor finds herself in a prolific period.
CONCERT
“Since COVID and not being able to tour as long as we were, it feels good to be creative,” Taylor said. “It’s one of those magical things where you get a load of ideas and you never know how long that is going to last.”
Taylor, who was born and raised in England, lived several years in Detroit before moving to Nashville, Tenn.
Taylor will perform at 8 p.m. Oct. 23 at the Palladium at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Taylor, 39, said getting older has likely helped her improve as a songwriter.
“It’s getting more comfortable with yourself,” she said. “I always suffered from anxiety attacks and depression, and I did a lot of work on that and got myself in a lot better frame of mind. Those things combined got me into a good place where I’m thankful for what I do, and I really enjoy myself. It’s a lucky thing to be able to love what you do for a living.”
Taylor released a single “All The Things I Said” from a yet-to-be-released album earlier this month. She previously released “Black and Gold,” which is the title track of an album due out in 2025. Her 2024 album, “Heavy Soul,” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Album chart. Taylor was inspired by listening to renowned blues guitarists.
“Growing up, I was obsessed with blues guitar,” said Taylor, who was discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics when she was 16. “I think I would have been a different artist if I had been born a man because of all my idols on guitar. I could try to copy Albert Collins or B.B. King, but when I was teaching myself to sing, I knew I would never be able to sound like them. So, I had to find female voices to imitate and learn from them, and most of them were outside the blues, like Tina Turner and Mavis Staples.” For more, visit joanneshawtaylor.com.

Importance of indoor air quality

Mills offered the following recommen dations for how often to have air ducts cleaned:
Carpets: “If you have a lot of carpets in your home, when was the last time you had those cleaned? Be cause the carpets in your home act like a filter. So, whatever the home environment brings, that’s what your HVAC system brings,” Mills said.
Mills said in October, Ductz employees are reminding residents of the importance of indoor air quality as they spend more time inside.
“The first day somebody turns on their furnace, as far as heating goes for the year, it’s going to have a little bit of smell to it,” Mills said. “So, we would ask, have they changed their filter? Have they had HVAC companies inspect their heating, especially on a gas furnace? Because there are things to worry about, like dust, aller-

“The biggest thing is keeping the filters changed in your HVAC system,” Mills said. “Sometimes it’s recommended twice a year to ensure everything’s properly operating for air conditioning and heating season.”

Bar Ellis to open downtown
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Sisters Lisa Wampler and Chamron Baird are preparing to open Bar Ellis, a restaurant and bar, in downtown Noblesville by the end of the year.
COMING SOON
Bar Ellis, 841 Conner St., will be open during dinner hours, serving “elevated” American food and having a late-night menu. Wampler said the goal is to attract a “nightlife” crowd.
“People will want to come here for dinner and for the food, but then we want to transition into having a little more fun,” Wampler said. “We have all this cool lighting that we bought for dinner, but then it can be adjusted to all different colors. We want to have DJs, girls nights and themed parties.”
Wampler and Baird want to attract couples for date nights but also have geared the bar toward women. Wampler said research shows women often make reservations and plans.
“We felt like many places around here are just slightly more masculine. We wanted to focus more on the girls,” Wampler said. “Men will be here, too. We want couples to come, of course. But we were

trying to focus a little more on what we like and what we thought was missing down here.”
Wampler’s husband, Bill Wampler, who will be the bar’s chef, was previously a chef at 10 West Restaurant & Bar in Cicero. The menu will feature vegetarian and vegan options and mocktails.
Bar Ellis will have a rooftop patio, and the sisters plan to have live music and comedy nights. Baird’s husband, Chris Baird, is a local musician.
The restaurant also has been approved to participate in Noblesville’s DORA.
Bar Ellis is expected to open by the end of 2024. For updates, visit bebarellis.com.

Excuse my grammar
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
My proofreader, Heidi, quit about a year ago. Just as well. I was going to dump her, anyway. She kept correcting me. Who needs that?
Then my wife, Mary Ellen, took over the job. That was an easy transition for her; she has been correcting me for 45 years. She is now my corrections officer.
Mary Ellen does a good job editing, but I downloaded an app called Grammarly as a backup in case Mary Ellen was out of town, or out of sorts. Grammarly is a form of AI. The program suggests different ways to improve my sentences when I write a column. I can accept its suggestion or dismiss it. Being a dismissive person by nature, I only occasionally take its advice. I also can yell at the screen without getting any backtalk, a luxury I didn’t enjoy with Heidi — or now with Mary Ellen.
Each month, I receive an analysis of my writing from the previous four weeks. My work is evaluated in several ways. For example, here’s what it told me for September.
It said I used 9,879 different words, even though my weekly column is only 500 words. I have no clue where that number came from. Then it said I didn’t use enough unique words. I wasn’t going to take that writing down (I mean, lying down), so I emailed the company.
Dear Grammar People:
The juxtaposition of ontological paradigms often precipitates a plethora of dialectical conundrums in the realm of epistemological and writing inquiry.
I sure told them. I just don’t know what I told them.
It also identified 743 errors. This is obviously another mistake — unless it had access to all my old seventh-grade book reports?
Also, I was informed that I did not use the question mark correctly. Do they think
Mary Ellen does a good job editing, but I downloaded an app called Grammarly as a backup in case Mary Ellen was out of town, or out of sorts.
– DICK WOLFSIE
I am stupid. I hope not?
The app did state that I was more productive than 78 percent of its users. How could that be? Like I said, I only write 500 words a week. What are these other people doing with this app? Name tags for their kids?
It commented that my writing was spreading joy. I knew I was spreading something, but this was a total surprise. The program also scans the internet to see if I have been plagiarized. So far, no one has been that desperate, but (true story here) about 10 years ago, I inadvertently learned that someone was stealing my column for a newspaper out in Minnesota. The only thing the reporter changed was substituting his wife’s name for Mary Ellen’s. When I called the publisher to report this, he fired the guy and told the readers it was no big deal because, “The guy wasn’t that funny, anyway.”
Finally, Grammarly informed me that, “Your area of focus for next week is clarity.” OK, how’s this? Cancel my subscription. I hope that’s clear enough.

Commentary by Terry Anker
The polls are open and early voting has begun. Lawns and public rights-of-way are littered with signage emblazoned with pleas for support or threats of an imagined coming dystopia if the wrong lever is pulled. We get a rest from advertisements for fast food and automobiles during the morning news shows — only to be bombarded with slickly produced “media buys” targeting the unicorn-like independent voter. Good, one could suppose — suffrage matters. An informed electorate is better equipped to meet the minimum expectation of our shared civic duty. Still, a short survey of the ephemera makes it clear that some are all too eager to manipulate and deceive the uninitiated. Like the “small print” in a predatory contract, the commercials make it nearly imposible to discern the bias of the message. Do all office workers, teachers, business owners or baristas support a candidate because the ad says so? Or is a union, chamber or political strategist behind the message —
ESSAY
assuming far more authority to represent the identity group than is justifiable?
National politics tend to suck all the oxygen out of a room. Countless will opine about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, but few will take time to fully explore the important local candidates. In a world with imperfect information, how do we commit to a vote? We could attend or watch a debate, read position papers or greet the candidates when they knock on the door. But absent the time or inclination, what is right? Do we skip the responsibility and stay home or go with our perception of the top-of-theticket candidate? How hard is it to ballot line by line? If we like the direction of our communities, we should vote to keep that leader group in power. If not, we could vote otherwise — if we could figure out what that means.
