Daniel Hile delivered his 2024 State of the Schools address Oct. 30 at the Noblesville Schools Community Center, where he discussed the district’s goals after the Noblesville Schools Board of Trustees approved the school district’s strategic plan Oct. 29.
The plan focuses on academic excellence; compassionate care and support, exceptional staffing; strategic capital and resource management; engaging community relations and celebrated school culture.
Hile said the school district’s key mission is education and academic excellence.
One enhancement regarding academic excellence is a new partnership with Indiana University Kokomo to offer additional dual credit and AP courses for students. The class credits transfer to all public and most private universities in Indiana.
Next year, new career pathway classes focused on welding, construction, textiles and hospitality will be offered in Noblesville Schools. Noblesville High School also will offer an aviation program serving students from public schools throughout Hamilton County.
Noblesville Schools also recently reviewed science programs to help students learn how to better analyze data and problem solve, and the same process is now being implemented for English language arts curriculum, Hile said.
Hile also said a new program for adults in the community looking to refresh and improve their academic skills is now available, which helps adults improve skills needed to obtain jobs, learn about career training or prepare to obtain a GED.
Hile said to improve areas of compassion and support for students and staff, Noblesville Schools focuses on school safety and mental health support.
“This past year, our employees have been training on a variety of focus areas to support our students, such as suicide, bullying and abuse prevention,” Hile said. “We are also making self-care resources available to our staff to help them keep their own mental health at peace.”
Noblesville Schools is looking for mentors to help with its Compass Mentoring
Program, which is a school-based, volunteer mentoring program that provides an opportunity for students to build a developmental relationship with an adult who offers support, guidance and encouragement to help students overcome challenges and reach goals.
Hile said a recent community survey indicated that quality educators were among the most critical factors in student success. A recent enhancement launched to address the teacher shortage, which is a nationwide problem, is a teacher mentorship program funded by the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation.
“This program is built to facilitate strong relationships and promote a sense of belonging,” Hile said. “It aims to improve teacher retention and also provides our veteran teachers an opportunity to grow their professional leadership skills.”
Hile also said the school district has started conducting interviews with employees to discuss why they choose to stay at Noblesville Schools. It also now holds a Gratitude Gala each year to honor staff and retirees.
The Noblesville Schools Board of Trustees approved its 2025 budget Oct. 29, which Hile said maintains strong reserves and continues to pay off debt at an “aggressive” pace.
“We have lowered our total tax rate for residents for the sixth straight year in a row, and we know that this is more important than ever,” Hile said. “We are working hard to do our part to create efficiencies and do more with less.”
NHS has two recent expansions funded through a bond without a referendum or
classroom dollars. The projects are the athletic expansion, completed in the summer, and the academic expansion, set to be completed by the summer of 2025. For more about the expansions, visit youarecurrent.com/?p=245969.
The school board also recently approved a $17.3 million bond that will be used to replace air handling units, update student technology tools and enhance athletic areas.
Noblesville Schools is developing an online financial dashboard to make financial information more accessible to the community.
This year, Noblesville Schools launched a business partnership exchange initiative to create an ongoing opportunity for the schools to connect with local business leaders, allowing schools to share what is happening and learn how to support business needs.
Hile also launched his Superintendent Advisory Council this year to better connect with students and give them a voice in district planning.
“This is our commitment to nurturing a welcoming and innovative school community that honors our timeless traditions and school spirit,” Hile said.
Hile said school culture has been enhanced this year with new interpreter services, the addition of a bilingual social worker and improved technology to serve multicultural students better.
Noblesville Schools will continue celebrating school culture in 2025 with a Hall of Fame, a visible and permanent way to celebrate legacy staff and alums.

The Noblesville Common Council approved the city’s 2025 Civil City budget at its meeting Oct. 29.
The 2025 budget totals $127,666,422 to fund all city operations, personnel, projects and programs, excluding the sewer utility, which is a separate entity.
Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen’s budget focuses on his four policy pillars: public safety; infrastructure; downtown and quality of life; and economic and workforce development, according to the city’s press secretary, Robert Herrington.
The budget maintains a tax rate of $1.10 for the sixth consecutive year while serving a growing community with continued investment in infrastructure and quality-of-life projects. Herrington said there are property tax hardship programs available for eligible taxpayers in Hamilton County.
“Our city is growing and with that growth comes a budget strategically crafted to meet the needs of the ninth-largest city in the state,” Jensen stated. “This budget makes investments that support the
expanding Noblesville community, stimulates the economy and grows our tax base responsibly. I thank the Noblesville council members for their thoughtful and strategic approach to the city’s budget.”
Herrington said the 2025 budget makes continued investments in top capital priorities, such as Pleasant Street with the extension of the Midland Trace Trail, Innovation Mile, a new police station, trail projects and road improvements.
“This budget addresses the increased service needs of our growing city while being fiscally responsible,” Noblesville Common Council President Darren Peterson stated. “The council appreciates the cooperation between its members, Jensen and his staff to create a budget that provides critical investments in public safety, infrastructure and improvements to the quality of life throughout our community, without increasing taxes on residents.”
The budget aligns ongoing spending increases with the city’s eight-year revenue growth trajectory, featuring a 6.4 percent increase for core operational funds, according to Herrington. The proposed budget focuses on government modernization,
efficiency, return on investment, cost containment and proactive preservation of significant assets.
The operational budget excludes pension and debt service payments and totals $110,422,574, with nearly 52 percent of ongoing operational spending directed to public safety.
“The certified net assessed value growth is 7.4 percent or $377.2 million higher in 2025. This (allows the city) to strategically invest more in the community. Noblesville is also expecting its local income tax allocation from the county to rise by 16.6 percent,” Noblesville’s Chief Financial Officer and Controller Jeff Spalding stated. “The city continues to have very strong reserves and the combined balances for the General Fund/Rainy Day Fund are projected to be nearly $35.5 million by the end of this year. This allows Noblesville to budget $10 million for key one-time investments in capital projects, needed equipment and future capacity.”

The Hamilton County Council recently finalized and adopted the county’s 2025 budget, which totals more than $312 million.
The budget has been sent to the state of Indiana for approval. If approved, it will go into effect Jan. 1, 2025.
The proposed budget includes funding of major capital projects and salary adjustments for deputies and correction officers at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, in addition to 16 new positions to help manage county growth.
Hamilton County Communications Director Tammy Sander said councilors approved the hiring of two additional sheriff’s deputies, a deputy coroner, three deputy prosecutors, an assistant county attorney, a staff attorney and a court administrative assistant.
“We are investing in the safety and well-being of our community,” Hamilton
County Council President Amy Massillamany stated. “Hamilton County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Indiana, requiring additional manpower to litigate and try the additional caseloads our growth creates while still maintaining the high standard of service our residents deserve.”
Sander said the council also approved the creation of three new positions: director of jail programs; maintenance supervisor; and procurement director.
“A dedicated procurement professional will streamline our purchasing processes, ensure fiscal responsibility and enhance efficiency,” Massillamany stated.
Council Vice President Sue Maki said the council had to make some “difficult decisions.”
“(By) working together, we were able to adjust the budget to meet revenue forecasts and fulfill operation funding for our growing county,” Maki said. “We did this while also adding over $9 million to the county’s Rainy-Day Fund.”
Hamilton County Parks and Recreation has received funds to develop a $4.7 million state-of-the-art indoor archery facility at Strawtown Koteewi Park at 12308 Strawtown Ave. in Noblesville.
Resource Development Specialist for Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Erica Foreman said the indoor archery facility will complement the park’s existing outdoor archery range and 3-D trail, Koteewi Range, which has experienced increased popularity since opening in 2015.
With federal approval of funding received, the facility’s design process has begun. The first stage includes planning and permitting the project’s civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing work. Construction is expected to start in 2025.
The new facility will be constructed amid a fully operational outdoor recreation complex (Koteewi Adventure Area) that includes an equestrian stable and rental service; aerial ropes courses and ziplines; several miles of hiking trails; a snow tubing hill; and a fishing lake.
Foreman said there are no indoor archery facilities within a 20-mile radius of the range and no large-scale,
full-service facilities within 150 miles.
“The addition of indoor space will provide the ability to host large-scale tournaments and educational programs regardless of weather,” Foreman stated.
The project was awarded funding from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Shooting Range grant. The Federal Wildlife Restoration Program funds the DNR’s Shooting Range Program. Program funds are generated through a tax on firearms, ammunition and archery equipment.

Riverview Health issued a notice Oct. 25 of a recent data security incident that may have affected certain individuals’ protected health information.
The incident resulted from a social engineering attack that led to the compromise of a staff member’s email account.
Riverview discovered that access to one of its staff member’s email accounts had been compromised Aug. 23. An unauthorized individual gained access to the compromised email account as well as certain electronic files.
Upon access to the staff member’s account, Riverview’s security mechanisms promptly identified the threat, and access was terminated in less than one hour from the start of the intrusion.
After further investigation, Riverview confirmed Sept. 3 that the accessible files contained certain protected health information, which may have included medical record numbers, admission dates, diagnosis and medical information, names, dates of birth, and sex. No Social Security numbers, financial information or bank account numbers were exposed.
Riverview is notifying the patients whose information
may have been exposed. Health system officials believe that because of the limited information contained in the exposed files, the risk of compromise or harm to patients is low.
As required by federal law, Riverview notified the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.
Riverview patients impacted by this disclosure will be sent letters notifying them of the incident.
Patients who have concerns or questions can contact Riverview at 855-278-0525 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Carmel High School girls soccer player
Olivia Cebalo had a senior season to remember.
Greyhounds coach Frank Dixon said if Carmel had gone farther in the postseason, she would have had a chance to be awarded the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association’s Player of the Year.
“I don’t remember the last time we had a player score 20 goals. That’s hard with the schedule we play. That’s a difficult thing to accomplish,” Dixon said.
Cebalo scored 21 goals for the Greyhounds, who lost last month’s Class 3A regional final to East Central on penalty kicks.
“I think this year I felt a lot more comfortable on the ball and being able to move it around better,” she said. “It did surprise me to have over 20 goals because my other years were only half of that.”
As a junior, Cebalo scored 11 goals. She scored 10 as a sophomore and three as a freshman.
Cebalo, who plans to run track in college, was second in the 400-meter run at the

“She has a lot of speed, and that’s always a really nice thing to have as a soccer player,” Dixon said. “She’s developed her soccer playing ability from that, and now she is a complete player.”

“Everyone was so pumped and ready to play. The bus ride there we were listening to music, and once we got there, all the parents were cheering us on as we came off the bus,” Cebalo said. “It was really an enjoyable moment.”
Cebalo is undecided where she plans to compete in college.
“I did consider playing soccer in college because I have always loved soccer and enjoyed it so much, but I think for me track was the right way to go and try it out,” she said.
Cebalo said a goal she has for the track season is to be on the winning 1,600-meter relay at the state meet.

“Even though it wasn’t the ending we wanted, I believe it was still a successful end to my soccer career,” Cebalo said. “I grew as a player, thanks to my teammates, and developed valuable skills from my coaches, all while being part of a team I truly loved, so I would consider that all very successful.”

“We had a strong team last year and we have the same girls again this year,” said Cebalo, who also was on the winning 1,600 relay as a sophomore.
Cebalo played club soccer for Carmel FC and then went to Indy Premier but has decided not to continue playing club soccer.

Noblesville SisterCities is looking for adult volunteers to host students, chaperones, mayors and other dignitaries from Nova Prata, Brazil, and Cittadella, Italy, in July 2025.
Noblesville SisterCities, a nonprofit committed to fostering global friendship, multicultural understanding and economic growth, works to build relationships between Noblesville and its sister cities of Nova Prata and Cittadella.
For more than 28 years, Noblesville SisterCities has been recognized in the community as a leader in international citizen diplomacy through its Youth Ambassador Program, according to Kim Hoffman, vice president of Noblesville SisterCities.
“The Noblesville SisterCities (was) started in 1996 by a gentleman by the name of Henry Cole, and he approached the then-Noblesville Mayor Mary Sue Rowland about becoming a sister city with Nova Prata, Brazil,” Hoffman said. “Cittadella was added as a sister city in 2006.”
Noblesville will host an international delegation for 10 days in July 2025. During its stay, participants will experience the culture of Noblesville and be hosted by Noblesville families.
“We go to the local high school so they can compare their school experience to Noblesville students,” Hoffman said. “We try to visit some colleges and businesses. They tour the local courthouse and have breakfast with the mayor. We also take them to visit Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indy 500 track.”
Hoffman said chaperones will stay with the students while the delegates and dignitaries will go with Mayor Chris Jensen to do things that have more to do with the government, economic development and business.
Noblesville SisterCities is seeking Noblesville high school students, ages 16 to 18, to represent Noblesville in the exchange. Additionally, they are looking for adult host volunteers.
The nonprofit will share more about the program from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 12 at the Forest Park Inn in Noblesville, 701 Cicero Rd.

A former Noblesville resident faces five counts of money laundering and two counts of willfully failing to file a tax return.
The charges facing Maximiliano Pilipis, 53, relate to his alleged years-long operation of AurumXchange, an unlicensed virtual currency exchange.
A federal grand jury recently returned a superseding indictment charging Pilipis with the crimes.
If convicted, Pilipis faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
Court documents allege that Pilipis created and operated AurumXchange from approximately 2009 through 2013 to allow individuals to exchange Bitcoin and other virtual currencies for U.S. dollars and other government-issued and virtual currencies.
AurumXchange and Pilipis allegedly collected fees worth millions of dollars
for facilitating transactions, including amassing more than 10,000 Bitcoin, worth approximately $1.2 million.
According to court documents, AurumXchange was used to conduct more than 100,000 transactions, transferring more than 30 million. A portion of the funds flowing through AurumXchange allegedly came from accounts held on Silk Road, an anonymous dark web marketplace that allegedly hosted illicit activities, including the sale of illegal drugs.
Silk Road was shut down by federal law enforcement in 2013 — the same year Pilipis stopped operating AurumXchange.
Over the next several years, Pilipis allegedly split up and transferred the Bitcoin and other assets derived from AurumXchange as an unlicensed money transmitting business to launder and conceal the proceeds of the offenses. In approximately 2018, he began converting the proceeds into U.S. dollars, which he allegedly invested and spent, including on property in Arcadia and Noblesville.

For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, Special Olympics Hamilton County will conduct a fundraising event.
Special Olympics Hamilton County is a nonprofit based in Noblesville that provides year-round sports training and athletic competitions for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Athlete Leadership Council Facilitator Shannon Loomis said each county has its own Special Olympics program that receives some state funding, but most funds come from fundraising.
“Our organization provides opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community,” Loomis said. “It’s a movement that impacts lives and is solely run by volunteers relying on corporate, civic and individual donations.”
From 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 9, the nonprofit will hold its first fundraising event since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. The event will be a prom night for athletes, their friends and family, and the community at Forest Park Inn at 701 Cicero Rd. in Noblesville.
“This is our first fundraiser post-COVID, and it’s been a long time coming,” Loomis said. “We haven’t really got back on the bandwagon since the pandemic. During COVID, we didn’t have any sports, so we didn’t really need to raise any money. But now we’re back in full force, and all our sports are back. All the programs are back, too. They need money.”
Special Olympics Hamilton County offers several types of sports and activities for each season, including basketball, a pom squad, swimming, cycling and more. Athletes participate at no cost to them.
“Because the athletes don’t pay to be a part of the sports that they do, that includes (costs for) equipment and uniforms,” Loomis said. “That also includes any traveling or tournaments. So, we are getting back to where we’re spending more money and need more money. This prom is our first attempt at having a fundraiser. We thought it’d be fun for the athletes to get
back to socializing.”
Without having large-scale fundraisers in the past four years, Loomis said the organization has been “creeping by” with the help of community partners.
“Over the past few years, we have done some dine-to-donate events,” she said.
“We also have some great partners within the community, like the Kiwanis and Lions Club, who donate to our program, and a few corporate sponsors who donate to the organization every year.”
With the prom fundraiser, Loomis said she hopes the organization won’t have to “squeak by” with future funding. The event is open to the public, and Loomis said the organization is asking everyone who attends to attempt to raise $50.
“We’ll have dancing, music, games and some light refreshments,” she said. “Anybody’s welcome to come. What we’re recommending to help with our programming is for athletes to get sponsors to sponsor them to come to the prom. So, we’re asking for a $50 fundraising goal for everybody who comes, whether it’s an athlete or a friend. We’re just asking for the $50 fundraising goal. There will be special prizes for the top fundraisers.”
Special Olympics Hamilton County athlete Anna Inger, who has been involved in the organization for 14 years, said she loves participating in sports because she enjoys being part of a team and meeting new athletes who join each year. She said she looks forward to the prom.
“I am looking forward to dancing and enjoying the night with all my friends,” Inger said. “Getting dressed up and raising money for Special Olympics Hamilton County is also an important part for me.”
Loomis said specifically, the money raised from the event will go toward paying for uniforms and equipment for the sports teams.
“When you think of it like that, our softball team needs helmets, bats and jerseys. We don’t have new uniforms every year, but we do need to replace them every few years,” Loomis said. “Plus, if we have new athletes, we need new sizes, and we have to supplement. The other funds will go to tournament fees. Only a small portion of the money goes to administrative expenses, like running the website, but that’s just a small piece.”
Loomis, who coaches volleyball and track for Special Olympics Hamilton County, looks forward to seeing athletes interact with their friends outside of a sports environment.
“We like seeing athletes outside their athletic gear dressed like it is a real prom,” she said. “I’m excited because a lot of what I see from these athletes is working towards a sport. It’s always nice to see them do something else and interact with all their friends differently. I think it’ll be a fun event for the athletes and the community partners that come. I know there are some Unified partners that are going to come, and there are some groups that are going to help volunteer. So, I think it’ll be a fun evening out for the athletes.”

Opera singer Angela Brown is eager to lend her powerful voice in a different way. Brown will narrate Aaron Copland’s 1942 composition, “Lincoln Portrait,” during the Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s “America the Beautiful” concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Palladium at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
“I get to work with a longtime friend of mine, Maestro Damien Geter,” Brown said of guest conductor Geter. “We have known each other for many years, even before he was living and working in Indianapolis. And now he has gone on to pen great symphonic and operatic works, and I am extremely proud to have the opportunity to be under his baton for ‘Lincoln Portrait.’ It is going to be terrific to collaborate with him and the Carmel Symphony.”
Brown said she sang with the Carmel Symphony on a few occasions several years ago.
“I’ve never narrated this piece before, but I am looking forward to this challenge and to taking a closer look at Lincoln’s words,” Brown said. “Many famous actors, statespeople and civic leaders have narrated this piece. I’m looking forward to adding my voice to this symphonic work as a spoken word artist as opposed to a singer, my usual role.”
The second piece is “Montgomery Variations” by Margaret Bonds, a Black composer, who died in 1972.
“It highlights the Civil Rights Movement and the Montgomery (bus) boycott,” Chastain said. “It’s a really interesting piece that has only been performed in recent years. We’re very excited to be bringing it to Carmel. It includes some African American spirituals and a really wonderful fusion of that part of American culture.”

CSO Executive Director Anne Marie Chastain said it’s an iconic work that showcases President Abraham Lincoln’s ability to bring people together during the difficult times.
“It’s going to be incredible,” Chastain said. “The symphony has performed it before with different community leaders. We’re excited to be performing it again.”
Chastain said it’s tremendous to have Brown return to CSO.
The work is structured in seven movements, each reflecting different aspects of the struggle for racial equality.
Antonin Dvorak’s “Symphony No. 9 From the New World” is the third main piece in the concert. It covers Dvorak’s reflections on American culture.
“It’s such a beloved, beautiful piece, so we’re excited to be playing that,” Chastain said.
The Indianapolis Children’s Choir will perform the national anthem to open the
concert.
“It will be a wonderful, patriotic way to kick off the concert,” Chastain said. “We traditionally have a concert around Veterans Day. This is continuing the tradition of celebrating American heritage during this month.”
There will be a short pre-concert talk at 6:10 p.m. followed by performances by three community groups that Chastain said represent diverse cultures.
The groups are Ballet Folklorico Mosaicos, representing Mexican culture; Chinese Mooncake Festival Committee dance group; and Indian Classical Dance from Natyalaya School of the Arts.
“We want to make this concert very inclusive on what makes America great,” Chastain said. “Immigrants from all over the world have been what has brought Americans together. It’s just to celebrate our collective culture.
“It makes us very happy to be host to other arts groups.”

Indiana Wind Symphony Music Director Jay S. Gephart’s programming philosophy must serve three constituents.
“It has to serve myself, my musicians and the audience,” he said.
The selections making up “The Call: A Concert for Veterans” do just that, Gephart said. The IWS concert is set for 4 p.m. Nov. 10 at the Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
uate, performs regularly around Washington, D.C.
“He was recommended to me by several Wind Symphony members,” Gephart said. “I investigated his background and thought he would be a great fit for this concert, in particular.”
The guest soloist is Gil Hoffer, a retired trumpet player for the U.S. Army Band known as “Pershing’s Own.”
Hoffer will perform “Concerto for Trumpet,” composed by Alexander Arutiunian, and on “With Malice Toward None” from the movie “Lincoln” by well-known film composer John Williams. In addition, Hoffer will perform on James Curnow’s “Concert Piece,” which Gephart said is a more contemporary show number.
Hoffer, a North Central High School grad-
The concert opens with “Let Freedom Ring” by composer Ryan Nowlin, who is the conductor of the United States Marine Band, the President’s Own.
“Ryan, in addition to being a fine conductor, is a very talented composer,” Gephart said.
The concert will include “American Legion March” by Charles Wesley Parker.
“Indianapolis is the home of the American Legion, so it’s very appropriate we would do that march,” he said.
Evan Cooper, a Carmel High School graduate, will guest conduct on “Liberty” by Rossano Galante.
“Many of (Galante’s) band pieces sound like they would come from a film score because his music has become wildly popular,” Gephart said.

Noblesville’s Grace Church will stage seven performances of the musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” on weekends from Nov. 8 to 17.
Directed by Amy Christie, the church’s pastor of community life and 24-year veteran of Grace’s theater series, the production will involve approximately 75 performers, both church members and community theater actors.
Told entirely through song, the musical follows the journey of Joseph, a boy blessed with prophetic dreams, and his colorful path from Canaan to Egypt.
Christie, a Carmel High School graduate, has been on the church staff for 28 years. Her theatrical career at Grace began with the 2000 show “A Wonderful Life, The Musical,” and hasn’t slowed down since. She has produced all the shows and directed most of them. But she certainly hasn’t forgotten her roots.
“Much of what I do in theater was shaped growing up in Carmel and in Carmel

schools,” she said. “I believe the arts draw people together in a unique and special way.”
Uniquely, the cast includes five sets of twins. They are: Marley and Ryan Jackson, Carmel; Rilian and Corin Tolbert, Carmel: Jane and Willow McLaughlin, Noblesville; Addie and Halie Anderson, Noblesville and Jacob and Alex Stockton, Fishers.
Another casting highlight is Pastor Jon Owens of Indianapolis’s City of Lights Church and his five children, all of whom appear in the show. Owens is a graduate of Lawrence Central High School.

Kennedy Martin can’t wait to see the finished product of her biggest film role yet.
Martin has a starring role in “Who’s Stalking My Family,” which debuts at 8 p.m. Nov. 7 on the Lifetime network.
“I’m eager to see how everything comes together, because you film all these scenes and you film them out of order,” she said. “You never know what the final product is going to be.”
Kate Watson, who plays her mother. Martin has acted in other TV shows and movies.
“I got the audition through my Atlanta agency, People Store, who are so amazing,” she said. “They’ve been so supportive.”
Martin, 27, attended Carmel Middle School. Her family eventually moved to Westfield and she attended Heritage Christian School, graduating in 2016. She studied screen acting at Chapman University in Orange County, Calif., near Los Angeles.
Martin, who is based in Los Angeles, plays a high school student named Sadie, whose mother is being stalked.
“There are all the twists and turns of who you think it can be,” said Martin, who plans to watch the premiere with actress
The movie, which was directed by Jeff Hare, was filmed in Georgia.
“It was such an awesome collaborative experience,” she said. “Jeff Hare worked so closely with the actors on performance and giving directions.”
Martin said playing the character over the course of several weeks was fun.
“I’d love to do more Lifetime movies,” she said. “I especially like the ripped-fromthe-headlines films based on true stories. I would like to work in network television. I’m really drawn to limited series.”
Martin appeared in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s presentation of “Beyond the Rainbow,” playing a young Judy Garland in 2007. She has performed in a few shows at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, including “The Sound of Music” and “Mary Poppins.”

Phil Stockton had a specific reason for choosing Ten Branches as the name of his band.
“We all have 10 branches, 10 fingers and we should be reaching out and touching people because we all probably have similar life experiences,” he said. “Let’s share and grow together.”
unsigned and not marketed, I feel that is a pretty substantial accomplishment.”
A 50-year-old Carmel resident, Stockton said he wants to expand the band’s fan base in the area. Stockton, who owns a gym, Stockton Training Grounds in Carmel, started the band in 2020.
Actor and promoter Don Farrell presents Ten Branches Nov. 14 at Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael. Romain Benjamin will open the show at 7 p.m., followed by Ten Branches.
The band, which Stockton describes as a modern rock alternative band, played at Feinstein’s in May.
“We had a very good turnout and response,” Stockton said. “We’ll perform some new material and some of our favorites. We’ve had quite a bit of success on the streaming platforms, not just in the U.S. but across the world. Approaching the 2 million stream mark for a band that is
“I had always been in cover bands, and after COVID, I was tired of doing three-hour shows doing other people’s songs,” Stockton said. “My passion was to write and write relatable music that I thought spoke to a lot of different people.”
Benjamin, who moved from Carmel to Indianapolis in March, will make his Feinstein’s debut with a 30-minute set.
“It will be all original music I’ve written about my life, my family and faith,” Benjamin said. “I’ve been looking for more opportunities to share my craft. I hope it’s music that encourages people and builds them up. I feel there is enough music that tears people down and doesn’t help them navigate through challenges.”
Benjamin, a mechanical engineer, said his music is a mix of poetry and rap. For more, visit feinsteinshc.com.

Through the years, I have poked fun at the great Hammacher Schlemmer gift catalog. On the cover, they boast that they have “the best, the unique, and the unexpected.” This is evidenced by the following items in their newest mailing. Stay tuned for more as we get closer to Christmas.
First, let’s take a look at all the huge lawn ornaments in the HS catalog. To name a few: a 16-foot snowman; a 15-foot inflatable Rudolph; a 5-foot Grinch; an 18-foot Frosty the Snowman; a 9-foot Twinkling Reindeer; and a 15-foot Santa. Buy them all and put them on your front lawn this week. Your HOA will love you. Trust me.
Oh, I almost forgot. They also have a lifesize replica of Santa on a ladder climbing up the side of your house to the roof. The problem is that the police keep shooting at him. Here are a few more nifty gifty items in this great catalogue.
• The Outdoor Heated Cat Shelter: For feline lovers who don’t love their cat enough to let him in the house. Cats won’t sleep in the shelter, but they will sleep in the box it came in.
• Hands-Free Binoculars: A good choice for that Peeping Tom in your life. Now, he can hold on to the edge of the windowsill with both hands while he peeps.
• Cordless Air Broom: This is the perfect gift for the Halloween witch who takes off only to be yanked back by the electric cord.
• The Genuine U.S. Military Watch: This is a beautifully crafted luxurious item priced at just over a thousand dollars. It sounds expensive, but on the bright it’s a hundred times cheaper than the Trump watch.
• The Best Nose Trimmer: Hammacher claims this was tested by a panel of experts who judged it the best nose

hair trimmer in the business. They claim the device is “good at getting to hairs others would have missed.” Other people? Do you have other people in your life searching for your nose hairs?
• The Barber Eliminator: Use this tool to cut your own hair. It then sends an automatic text to your stylist and fires him. You’ve wanted to do this for years. Done!
• The Side Sleeper Pillow: This pillow is a subtle hint to your significant other that you know that he or she is sleeping with someone on the side. It’s washable, so it’s a good time to air your dirty laundry.
• The Illuminated Ear Wax Cleaner: Why would you want to clean your ear wax? More important, why would you want the gadget illuminated? You can’t look in your own ears. And even your best friend won’t have any interest in helping.
• Stress Building Head Massager: Finally, the Stress-Relieving Full-Head Massager. It’s hard to describe this, so go to my Facebook page and tell me if the Hannibal Lecter Fan Club didn’t design this monstrosity, facebook.com/dick. wolfsie.

Come see what we have to offer! Our knowledgeable staff is ready to assist you in selecting the right flooring to ensure your satisfaction for years to come.
Today is Election Day. If we haven’t managed to do so already, we line up to undertake our civic duty. For a while, we will be swarmed with opinions about how the election turned out, if it was fair, and, hopefully not, if it has been finally certified. Those of us who remember hanging chads know that it can take a while. It was 36 days before the U.S. Supreme Court effectively ended the recounts and legal wrangling in the 2000 presidential election. We will continue to get the unsolicited, often fraudulent, requests for money from candidates and their paid political consultants for a bit. So far today, this humble writer has received 47 of them. And we return to regular programming on network and streaming video. The bulbous of advertisements will roll to a halt as campaign machinery runs out of the cash keeping the boilers hot. If we believe we are better off today than we were and we like where we live, we’ll have supported the current governments. If not, we’ll vote for something else
promised. It has happened in more or less the same way since the American Founding Fathers launched this great experiment in self-government. Did we want the entrepreneur governor or the schoolteacher one? Every vote counts equally, at least for those of us who bother to show. We get to decide.
We will return to normal lives, but has the damage been done? Has the toxicity of the modern body politic led us to elevate hate over forgiveness and identity over tolerance? Will we forgive our dear aunt for the cruel things she said? Will we forgive our young mentee for posting an almost 1,300-word epistle on social media critiquing the “hate” seen in others through 38 specific name-calling invectives about them? Will Chad figuratively have hung himself?
