Q&A: Spartz reflects on first months in Congress By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz began her first term representing Indiana’s 5th District on Jan. 3. P0LITICS During one for her frequent visits to the district, Current caught up with Spartz for a Q&A interview after she had finished touring the Lawrence Police Spartz Dept. headquarters. How has your experience in Washington, D.C., over the last several months differed from your expectations going in? I didn’t have very high expectations. I’m not naïve. I’ve been in politics long enough. It’s unfortunate. Such a serious institution with an important function and it’s become so dysfunctional. I talked to one of the members, Alaska’s Don Young, he’s been there since 1973, he’s the second congressman since Alaska became a state, and I asked him, “Has it always been that bad?” And he says, “It’s never been as bad as it is right now.” H.R. 1 recently passed the House and now is sitting in the Senate. It aims to federalize many of our country’s voting processes. Why did you vote against the bill? H.R. 1 is actually an awful bill. There are a

lot of things in that bill that are centralizing more power in the federal government. To think that a small group of people know better and are superior to millions of people on the ground, I would say it is probably the opposite. I think centralizing (an increasing amount of power) is a very bad idea The bill would cause significant change to Indiana’s election laws by federalizing elections and eliminating the voter ID requirement. Do you think the federal government should be involved in how individual states operate their elections? I think it’s more of a state issue than a federal issue. There are a few things that the federal government can look inside, like how we can improve more integrity of the federal elections and just deal with the federal piece. And having IDs, there is nothing wrong with that. We have IDs for everything. You cannot get on the plane without having an ID. The more populations grow, if you don’t have some controls in place, then that creates more opportunity for fraud. Infrastructure is a big agenda item for President Joe Biden, and the bill — American Jobs Plan — is going to cost a lot. What was your take on it? Unfortunately, in the COVID bill, only 10 percent was related to COVID-19. And now in the infrastructure bill, only 6 percent is related to actual infrastructure that people think of — roads and bridges. I think if the

president wants to have debate on other issues, we can have a separate debate, but he cannot lump every issue that he wants to deal with into one bill to try to force everyone to vote for something. It’s one thing, at least, if we spend our money and invest in assets like roads and bridges and tangible infrastructure that’s going to last us. You can justify (to future generations), “OK, you guys are going to take advantage of this.” Instead (we are) spending money to put bandages on issues that have existed for a long time and not resolving them. How do you think our area of Indiana, maybe even Indiana as a whole, matches up with the rest of the country? Are we doing better, worse? We have a lot to offer in this state, and I think it provides us an opportunity to compete with other states. We have good, stable laws. We have a good regulatory environment. We have good schools. We have economic growth and a low tax base. Going around other states, I’ve been very disturbed to see what is happening out there. We have a very efficient operation, and the other states are wasting money left and right, and I feel like my citizens in Indiana have to pay for it? That’s very frustrating. Why should we pay for programs in other states, New York and California, that don’t do a good job? That’s their state. If you don’t like it, move to another state or take down your elected officials.

Janus Development Services to hold fundraiser By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The timing seemed right to launch a new fundraiser for Janus Development Services Inc. EVENT Jerry Jamison, Janus development and communications director, said COVID-19 pandemic restrictions forced the organization, which provides career opportunities for people with disabilities, to move its annual Create Connect Commit Breakfast fundraiser to September. Jamison said it will likely be smaller than in the past. The Janus team came up with an outdoor after-hours event. The Helping Lives Bloom Fundraiser is set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. June 17 at the Mustard Seed Gardens, 77 Metsker Lane, Noblesville. “We are able to use the extensive garden area along with the barn,” Jamison said.

“They have done a lot of major renovations over the past few months, so we will also be able to take advantage of those as well. We felt having the option for (being) outside might encourage more people to participate. We are still limited to the size of gathering we can have but have more options there.” Because it’s a first-time event, Jamison said the goal is to raise $30,000. “We’re partnering with our For The Love of Janus Guild with this event,” Jamison said. “The guild will be providing baskets for attendees to bid on and win. The baskets will be a wide variety of different themes. Our Commission Art Program participants will be making an art piece to be included in each of the baskets.” For the first time, Janus is having a wine pull at a fundraiser. Jamison said Janus wants to collect more than 100 bottles of wine for the event and are accepting dona-

tions. The guild will hold a silent auction as well. “This will be the first time to have a combined event with the guild,” Jamison said. The event will give guests the opportunity to meet Yolanda Kincaid, who took over March 29 as Janus’ new president/chief executive officer. Kincaid replaced Chris Sorensen, who retired March. 1. Tickets are $50, with a portion of the ticket price reflected as a donation. The ticket price includes appetizers, one complimentary wine, beer or soft drink and live music performed by David Lowe. A cash bar will be available. Affordable sponsorship levels are available for companies and individuals. For more information on tickets, sponsorships or to donate wine bottles, contact Jamison at jjamison@janus-inc.org. For tickets, visit janus-inc.org/ take-action/helping-lives-bloom.

I thought we were going to lunch,” Williams said. “I am very humbled and appreciative and honored to have received it.”

The Sagamore of the Wabash is one of the state’s highest honors and is a personal tribute usually given to those who have rendered a distinguished service to the state or to the governor.

in county government. Williams began working in the Hamilton County clerk’s office at age 19 and served as deputy clerk. She was the clerk from 1982 to 1991 and was elected state representative for District 29 in 1992. She held the seat until 2018. During that time, she also was the Republican majority caucus chair in the Indiana House of Representatives. In 2018, Williams again ran for Hamilton County Clerk, an office she still holds. Former State. Rep. Tom Saunders presented the award to Williams.

Williams wants to continue serving Hamilton County by running for clerk again next year when her term expires. Williams has been a Noblesville resident her entire life. Outside of work, she is involved with the Hamilton County Extension Board, the Hamilton County 4-H Council, the Noblesville Lions Club, the Noblesville Kiwanis Club and serves on the board of the Noblesville High School Alumni Association and is co-chair of the Hamilton County Bicentennial with Surveyor Kent Ward.

New reverend to bring church to the people By Haley Miller news@currentinfishers.com The Rev. Saneta Maiko, a health care chaplain and researcher, will serve as the new conference superRELIGION intendent for the United Methodist Churches of Indiana North Central District starting July 1. He said he wants to bring the church and its teachings to underserved communities. “My leadership role starting July 1 is to bring a Maiko unique kind of approach to ministry, an approach whereby we are not going to be asking people most of the time to come to the building, but we go to where they are and love them,” said Maiko. “Love them, serve them, walk with them.” Maiko will be responsible for driving the mission and vision of the annual United Methodist Conference of Indiana for churches in the North Central District, which includes Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Carmel, Zionsville and several nearby counties. He said he uses his background in public health to inform his approach in the church. He said the church’s mission must focus on addressing the social determinants of health, or the conditions of the places where people live, learn, work and play and their influence on health outcomes. “We need to step up and try to see whether we can eliminate or reduce the impact of those conditions before we can even tell them about heaven that they have never gone to,” Maiko said. Maiko said he wants to accomplish four goals: Engage the community and bring more people to the church, create more social networks within the churches, help leaders grow and collaborate with other community institutions to do as much good in the area as possible. The church has more opportunity to enact change in the community when it works with local institutions like the school system, health departments, social agencies and law enforcement, Maiko said. “The social determinants of health cannot be tackled by only one group,” Maiko said. “We have to find ways of coming together and strategizing together.”

Former Guerin Catholic coach seeks help with medical bills By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Former football coaching colleagues and players have been quick to support Noblesville resident Rob FUNDRAISER Baldwin. Baldwin, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer in December 2020, set up a GoFundMe page to help with his mounting medical expenses. Baldwin who retired in 2018 after 11 years as Guerin Catholic High School’s defensive backs coach. “I debated doing it (the GoFundMe campaign) for a week and finally said, ‘I’m going to do it and see what happens,’” he said. Baldwin, 63, didn’t want to leave his five adult children saddled with medical bills. He has been on family medical leave since Jan. 1 from his job of managing a warehouse on the east side of Indianapolis. Testing started in October 2020, and Baldwin met his insurance deductible of $8,800 for 2020. He was eventually diagnosed with

HCSO sees lateral transfers from other departments By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

BUTTONDODGE.COM TWINCITYDODGECHRYSLERINDIANA.COM MCGONIGALGM.COM ACADEMYJEEP.COM

WE DELIVER

In the wake of police action shootings that have ignited civil unrest across the U.S., there has been PUBLIC SAFETY an outcry across the nation for better policing and more training for officers. There also has been a rising level of distrust between communities and law enforcement. At a recent Hamilton County Council meeting, Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush noted that several officers had laterally transferred to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office from other departments in search of better forming relationships with the community they serve. One of those officers is Deputy Jeremiah Wilck, who transferred from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept. to the HCSO in April 2020. Wilck isn’t new to the HCSO. He served with the department as a reserve officer in 2013 for three years. He joined IMPD in 2017 and served there for three years as well. “A buddy of mine who was still in the reserves here told me the sheriff’s office was having a lateral process, and I didn’t take very long to put in my application,” said Wilck, who lives in Noblesville. “No. 1, it was for my kids. We’ve been living here in Noblesville since 2013, and we love Hamilton County and Noblesville. We weren’t going to move to Marion County, so it just made sense.” Wilck said IMPD is a very large department and he felt like he was just a number. “Here, you get more of that close-knit camaraderie and that sense of teamwork I’m really looking for,” he said.

Although he didn’t experience any violent racial tension while at IMPD, Wilck said there was a mistrust between the department and certain communities. “Here, you get a lot of cooperation, but I was on cases down in Indy and there were witnesses who knew what happened but wouldn’t talk to you because of the disconnect between the community and the police department, and I don’t really see that up here,” Wilck said. “Down there, there’s not really people coming up saying, ‘How are you doing?’ and they’re not making small talk, but up here, you get a lot more of that. I’ve given out my personal cellphone to people. People want to keep Hamilton County safe, and so the community gets on top of it when they see people breaking the law.”

IMAGINE MORE.

After several months of encouraging residents to receive COVID-19 immunizations, the Hamilton County Health PANDEMIC Dept. plans to close its mass vaccination clinic at the 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville and offer smaller clinics in its place. The mass site’s operations will end July 2. The last day to schedule appointments for first doses of the Pfizer vaccine is June 7. “Recent numbers of fully vaccinated people in our community and a noticeable decline in future appointments have allowed us to begin scaling down our mass clinic operations,” HCHD Administrator Jason LeMaster stated. Pop-up community clinics will be sched-

uled when the mass site closes. The HCHD has not announced dates, times and locations for pop-up clinics. “There’s been a big push to demobilize mass clinics across the state and start pushing smaller clinics, taking the vaccine to the where the people are,” LeMaster stated. “Working from our office again will also allow us to get back to our primary role of providing childhood vaccinations alongside the COVID-19 vaccine.” By the time operations cease at the mass clinic, nearly 55,000 vaccinations will have been administered. If patients receive their first dose of Pfizer as a walk-in after the June 7 date, they will need to schedule their second dose at another Pfizer location. Appointments can be made through ourshot. in.gov or by calling 2-1-1.

One-of-a-kind historic bridge moving to Hamilton County By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com The Bell Ford Bridge began its journey to Fishers after crashing into the White River 75 miles away. TRANSPORTATION The collapse didn’t just happen, it had been years in the making. Originally built in 1869, the bridge had a good run for its first century in Seymour. But by the time a windstorm destroyed the western portion in 1999, it had been 30 years since a car had ventured across its 325-foot expanse. Neglect led to the demise of the rest of it. Barely nine months after the bridge ended up on the National Register of Historic Places, the remaining half plunged into the river below on Jan. 2, 2006. At the time, hope for the Bell Ford Bridge seemed as shattered as the bridge itself, which was lying in the river against its former support beam. Days after the collapse, then-Jackson County Commissioner Gary Darledge told the Seymour Tribune, “There is nothing left of the Bell Ford Bridge, and I will not spend another tax dollar on it. Ninety percent of the people in this county think it is asinine to even consider rebuilding that bridge.” But in 2024, Hamilton County will do just that. “A lot has happened since we first acquired the bridge (in 2018),” Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt stated. “We don’t want people to think we forgot about it.” Plans are in place to reconstruct the old bridge — the last remaining of the three combination Post truss bridges in the world — into a pedestrian bridge over Fall Creek just south of Geist Park. The City of Fishers will incorporate the bridge into a new, soonto-be-developed trail, while INDOT and the Hamilton County Highway Dept. work together to secure funding for the project. The cost is an estimated $3.5 million, with $2.8 million already raised through a grant with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Organization. “The bridge will be reconstructed in the same style that it was first built with in 1869,” stated Daniel Kurdziel, project manager with VS Engineering. “But it will get a bit of a facelift. The bridge will receive a more durable roof that mimics the original cedar shake roof and will be rebuilt with the addition of clear polycarbonate siding modeling

the original open-air structure.” Until construction begins in 2024, the bridge resides in a new, unused wing of the Hamilton County Jail. “Who would have imagined that we would have stored a historic bridge in a jail?” Heirbrandt said. Although Jackson County officials had no intention of investing more money into the dilapidated bridge, they did have the foresight to rescue it from the river, disassemble it and store it. Instead of restoring the bridge, Jackson County officials were preoccupied with saving another historic structure: An old round barn for which they didn’t have funding. Before Heirbrandt made his first trek to Seymour about the bridge, officials from other cities across the nation had already asked about taking possession of it. All of them, including Heirbrandt, were turned down. According to Jackson County Commissioner Matt Reedy, the bridge was not for sale. But something about the Hamilton County plans for the bridge stuck with Reedy. Reedy checked with a consultant who encouraged him to let Hamilton County use the bridge if Reedy wanted the bridge built well and in his lifetime. That appealed to Reedy. He called Heirbrandt and offered to give Hamilton County the bridge as a gift. “We were completely blown away,” Heirbrandt said. “(We said,) ‘Why don’t we give you $25,000? That way you can use these funds to help you restore (another project).’” The deal was struck, and the one-of-akind Bell Ford Bridge was soon on its way to Hamilton County, where it will once again span a river.

FIRST WAVES

Opening of WWS Aquatic Center a step toward YMCA completion By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Shannon Russell, the first part of a long journey is complete. Although the Westfield Washington Schools Aquatic Center opened in early February, YMCA programming began May 3. “It’s truly a blessing to be able to partner with the schools and be able to offer these programs in the community because the facility is absolutely beautiful,” said Russell, executive director of the YMCA in Westfield. “We’re offering use for the community when it’s not in use by the school. The school gets to determine their needs and times first.” Russell, a Westfield resident, is the project lead for the YMCA in Westfield, which includes the WWS Aquatic Center, 851 E. 181st St. The fundraising, hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, is ongoing for the Ascension St. Vincent YMCA. “To date, the YMCA has secured approximately $6 million of the necessary $14 million for the construction of the center,” said Gregg Hiland, chief operating officer of YMCA of Greater Indianapolis. “The volunteer steering committee is actively engaging with potential donors. Success will be possible through the generosity of local residents.” A final date has not been announced for the YMCA opening. Russell said the YMCA is still looking for community partners. “No one would be happier than me to put a shovel in the ground to construct this,” she said. “With COVID, we pressed the pause button. We made sure the needs of the community are still what the YMCA can offer. More recently, we

received a generous donation ($10,000) from the new Meijer in Westfield. We’re looking for additional financial opportunities to help support the YMCA and get this built in the Westfield community.” The facility is set to include a state-of-the art wellness center, basketball courts, a gym and 5,000 square feet for Ascension St. Vincent and its offerings.

MULTIPLE USES FOR SCHOOLS

The Aquatic Center includes one body of water that can be separated into three sections with moveable bulkheads. It can be a 50-meter course pool, or it can be divided into three individual pools. WWS Director of Operations Joe Montalone said the Aquatic Center was completed close to the expected time, but it was too late for the high school season, which was then in the postseason. However, middle school meets were held in the new facility. Montalone said construction started in September 2019. “We can absolutely use it for classes, obviously use it for our swim teams, and we use it for rehab for our student athletes,” he said. Montalone said the cost was what was anticipated. “We paid $15 million for the Aquatic Center, and the YMCA, with some internal shared costs and the infrastructure, put in a little more than $3 million,” he said. Previously, Westfield High School had a 25-meter pool. “We were using that until we moved into our new one,” Montalone said. “Then we were able to fill in our old pool, expand the wellness center for our physical education classes and our student athletes. That should be completed in August.”

SUMMER SCHEDULE HEATS UP Shannon Russell, executive director of the YMCA in Westfield, said group and private swimming lessons are being offered at the Westfield Washington Schools Aquatic Center. “There are also adaptive lessons for anyone in the special needs community,” she said. More than 100 participants signed up for swim lessons in the first 10 days the YMCA opened, Russell said. Water fitness classes are offered on mornings, evenings and weekends. “There’s also a lane where people can water walk or jog in because it’s just so good for the active, older adult community,” Russell said. There is traditional lap and open swimming as well. The YMCA has programming Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The programming Tuesday and Thursday is from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. The weekend hours are from noon to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. The evening times are from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday and Wednesday and 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. For more, visit indymca.org.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Not caring?

For crying out loud

Commentary by Terry Anker If others don’t care what we think, why do they care so much about what we think? It is a bit of a paradox. We live in a world of abundant open mindedness. In fact, we have come to be one of the most tolerant societies ever to inhabit this planet. We find toleration in, or at least choose to overlook, all manner of behaviors that would have put our progenitors on edge. Language, dating, family structures, personal freedoms and restrictions on personal freedoms — each are redefined at a previously unmatched pace. Many of us take considerable pride in our ethos. We signal our superiority because we live and let live. Good. We signal our superiority because we are the vanguard of the oppressed. Again, good. Still, we struggle mightily with disagreement. Our considerable understanding of differences ends when someone challenges our own impassioned and deeply held views. The battle cry is, “You are fat and stupid. Nobody cares what you think,” along with, “And, if you say it again, I’ll burn down your house!” Somehow, the inconsistency is overlooked. Is there great concern or no interest? It is all very confusing. We are lucky to live in an age when there are more people and longer stretches of less war than enjoyed by any previous generation. Is this time devoid of opportunity for improvement? Clearly, no. But even if one is inclined to believe that a utopia can be achieved, failing to reach perfection doesn’t necessarily equate with terrible outcomes. Can we learn to be tolerant of people who don’t tolerate like us? Can we tolerate the tolerators? Civil society, like most institutions today, is being reexamined. Is it a silly veneer of politeness that conceals ill intent? Or is it a philosophy that allows for fervent disagreement without the too-often violence and abuse that follows?

Most longtime readers know that I am neither an animal lover nor a public crier. I had terrible pet experiences growing up and hate showing vulnerability in front of strangers. Imagine my shock when I burst into tears at the vet’s office! Here’s the skinny. Our 11-year-old cat, Ginger, has been acting funny for a couple of months. It started with a four-day hunger strike followed by occasional urination on the living room carpet. Then we noticed she was eating the fake rocks in the bottom of our gas fireplace. We decided to switch her food from cheap dry stuff to Fancy Feast wet salmon, and immediately saw improvement. But last week, the litterbox boycott began again, so we made her an appointment to see what was what. The first part went smoothly, though I looked ridiculous wearing gardening gloves hauling her in to Banfield with my makeshift carrier of two inverted laundry baskets (personally, I thought I’d been extremely clever). A physical evaluation revealed little, but the doctor wanted to run labs to rule out a UTI or anemia. For 10 minutes, Ginger meow/ screamed as if she were being fileted alive while they pinned her down to do the bloodwork. Luckily, I had brought my youngest with me for moral support. Between the two of us, we were able to stay mostly calm. Then we received the results: “She’s in the last stages of renal failure, nothing can be done, I can recommend a wonderful company for in-home euthanizing …” Cue full-on sobs. Apparently, I do love my cat, and I don’t give two hoots about who knows it. Peace out.

DISPATCH Video game stock growth — The video game industry is booming. The global video game market is likely to double to $300 billion in revenue by 2025, according to tech research firm GlobalData, driven by the expansion of mobile-phone and online gaming. Two subscription services, Apple Arcade and Google Stadia, were launched last year, but they’ve had lukewarm results, partly because of competition from free online video game providers such as Epic Games, the privately. Epic made more than a billion dollars in 2019 by selling optional virtual accessories such as character outfits. In-

vestors should focus on third-party video game publishers with a history of churning out blockbuster games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Two attractive video game publishers now are: • Activision Blizzard (ATVI) hits include World of Warcraft, which has had $9 billion in revenue since 2004. It partners with YouTube to stream live broadcasts of tournaments for games such as Overwatch and Call of Duty. • Electronic Arts (EA) makes best-selling games such as Madden NFL.

Recognize and prevent a stroke Commentary by Nihal Bakeer Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability and the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S. With May being Stroke VIEWPOINT Awareness Month, everyone should learn the signs, symptoms and ways to prevent a dangerous and potentially deadly stroke. Spotting stroke Strokes in children are rare, but they can and do happen. Recognizing strokes in children and adults could save a life. Use the B.E.F.A.S.T. acronym to identify signs of stroke and know when to call 911: • Balance: Is the person losing coordination or balance? Is he or she having trouble walking? • Eyes: Is the person having trouble seeing out of one or both eyes? • Face: If the person feels one side of the face is droopy or numb, ask for a smile. Does one side of the face droop? Is a smile lopsided or uneven? • Arm: If the person says one arm is weak or numb, ask him or her to raise both arms. Does one arm drift down? • Speech: If speech is slurred, ask the person to repeat a sentence. Are the words slurred? Is

DISPATCHES Better way to take meds – Some medicines are better absorbed by the body if taken sublingually. This means the medicine is placed under your tongue and held there until it is absorbed. It can go directly into the bloodstream without being digested first. If you have trouble taking pills, or have digestive difficulties, ask your doctor about sublingual alternatives.

the person having trouble getting words out or understanding? • Time to Call 911: If you recognize any of these symptoms, call 911 and get the person to the hospital as soon as possible. Even if the symptoms go away, it is important to get immediate medical attention. Brain cells may be dying! Preventing stroke The American Stroke Association (stroke.org) has a list of risk factors you can control, treat and improve to help reduce your risk for stroke. At the top of the list are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, diet, physical inactivity and obesity. If you check off any of these top contributing stroke risk factors, schedule a physical with your primary health care provider to discuss your concerns and develop a plan for a healthier you.

GHDT returns with ‘Live!’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The title of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s new show speaks for itself. It is simply “Live!” PERFORMANCES The show features GHDT’s return to The Tarkington in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel for the first time since October 2020. The performances, set for 7 p.m. June 3-5, features GHDT’s more endearing and lighthearted pieces. “We went back into our repertoire and pulled a lot of fun and comic pieces,” Hancock said. “We wanted to be light and fun and entertaining — not heavy, not about COVID, not about isolation. We want people to laugh and enjoy music and dance. There is a lot of humor and upbeat, energetic pieces.” Hancock said the productions usually aren’t a collection of past pieces. “It’s usually a bigger-story ballet.” The show has seven different pieces that aren’t related in any way, Hancock said. Hancock said he hopes the dancers won’t have to wear face masks but is awaiting new guidelines from the Center for the Performing Arts. “As far as we know, social distancing and masks are still in place for the audience,” he said. “Things are changing every day.” Capacity is still limited to 25 percent, but that might change by late May, Hancock said. There was a live performance in October 2020 with social-distanced seating at The Tarkington. “We had a specific piece where we had no partnering,” Hancock said. “The dancers didn’t touch. That was the last time we were live, so this is our return to the theater, which we are excited about.” The 2020 show centered more on emotions people felt during the pandemic. Dancer Abbie Lessaris said GHDT did a collaboration with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra in March with eight dancers appearing in one piece.

“We were just a small part of it, but we got a little taste of the live audience for nine minutes,” Lessaris said. “Many of our supporters did come to that show, but we’re excited to be back to The Tarkington with our patrons and our families cheering us on in the audience.” Lessaris performed with GHDT in “The Nutcracker” when she was 10 years old in 2006. She enrolled as a student of the Academy of GHDT when it opened in 2009. “What is so wonderful about Gregory’s company is we are always bouncing back and forth between dark and dramatic and humorous and light,” Lessaris said. “Our show before we got shut down was ‘Once Upon A Time” (in February 2020), which was fairy tales, so that was fun and humorous.” Her favorite piece is “Communion Girls,” a four-minute piece of three little girls dressed for their first Holy Communion. “One girl slowly starts dancing and having fun and then the other two girls join in,” Lessaris said. “It’s very playful and allows us to tap into our inner-kid a little bit.” Lessaris said eight company dancers and a company intern will perform. There

will be 10 students doing two sections separate from the company dancers. The productions, which include livestreams, have been more serious. “Given we have all gone through and (are) still going through this hard time in the world, it’s good to have a lighthearted show,” she said. After shutting down in March 2020, the dancers returned in August and have worked consistently. “We’ve been able to keep them employed and everyone has stayed healthy,” Hancock said. “The school has stayed healthy. We’ve been strict with all our guidelines.” Hancock said he expects a rebuilding process for arts organizations. “It’s going to be a challenge for arts to rebound,” he said. “I don’t think it’s going to be the quick, ‘We’re open, and everybody can come back.’ It’s going to be reeducating people and letting people be comfortable. I think we’re still in for a challenging few years.” Hancock said the motto for the year has been flexibility and adaptability. For more, visit gregoryhancockdancetheatre.org.

Retired plastic surgeon releases third children’s album By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Zionsville resident and retired reconstructive plastic surgeon Geoff Randolph recently released “Music for the Ride,” MUSIC his third children’s album. Music has been a lifelong passion for Randolph, but his genre of choice wasn’t always children’s music. When Randolph, 70, began playing guitar at 14, it was the 1960s, and so he played rock music. “When I was in junior high and high school, I was in rock bands and did all the usual stuff,” Randolph said. “I went to college and switched to singer/songwriter mode and did solo and duet performances at bars and restaurants to make extra money while going to school. “For an interval of time in medical school, I stopped playing music. I didn’t have time for it.” When Randolph had children, he rediscovered his passion for music. But this time, it wasn’t rock music. “I just found it was a way for me to notch out time in my insanely busy schedule and find time to get the instrument out and play and be inventive with things (my children) are doing, and at the same time have family time,” Randolph said. “I could pull my guitar out and sort of record humorous or uplifting stories about my kids and family life. “In my family life, I saw these things that are fun or worth celebrating or recounting, and that really allowed me to turn my brain off from the high-stress, work-pressure side and really engage in the family side where I could be playful.” Randolph was a reconstructive surgeon

for 30 years. Most of his patients required reconstructive surgery from trauma or cancer. “I ended up working a lot at night and doing emergency work at night,” Randolph said. “It created a lot of strain in terms of the mental stress of taking care of people who are sick. (With music), I wasn’t solving the world’s problems and I wasn’t out there talking about issues, I was talking about the things making me smile or I thought were really interesting happening in my own children’s lives. “It was a great counter for the sorts of grim things or challenging things I was seeing every day in my reconstructive surgeries.” “Music for the Ride” is Randolph’s third album and highlights his grandchildren. He released “Isn’t It Incredible” in 2000 and “Do You Wonder Too?” in 2007. Randolph moved from Fort Wayne to Zionsville to be closer to his grandchildren in August 2020 and retired in October.

Artist’s paintings bloom in flowery exhibit By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Bobbi K. Samples has always been drawn to the arts. An accomplished dancer, she has owned a dance studio and ART was, for many years, a freelance choreographer. But these days, she is an accomplished oil painter — a skill she learned nearly 20 years ago at a somewhat unlikely age. “I have always enjoyed art. However, I didn’t start Samples painting until around 2004 and was in my mid-50s,” Samples said. “A good friend and professional artist, Maggie Shively, asked me about taking a lesson. I took two lessons and painted 85 paintings my first year. I was hooked. “My background in art until then had been in dance, so this was a new artistic expression.” And a new passion. A Noblesville resident, Samples has immersed herself in her work ever since those initial lessons. She is a showcase artist with Nickel Plate Arts in Noblesville, is a member of its board of directors and has an exhibit on display at the Meyer Najem Gallery in Fishers, 11787 Lantern Rd. Samples’ exhibit, “Come on, Spring! Indiana Wildflowers!” opened April 5 and continues through the end of June. The display features colorful paintings of wildflowers, ranging from buttercups to sunflowers to purple phlox, on canvases of various sizes. It can be viewed Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or can be viewed on Nickel Plate Arts’ virtual exhibits page at nickelplatearts.org. “Obviously, this exhibit is showcasing Indiana wildflowers, and I thought everyone needed spring as much as me, considering the year we all had,” Samples said. “I like taking small flowers and making them very large.” Samples works exclusively with oil paint and is renowned for her layers of bright, bold colors. “I paint large gallery wrap canvases,” she said. “The sides of the canvas are always a part of the painting. I use both brush and knife. I usually start with a brush and finish with a knife for lots of texture and depth.

“All of my paintings are finished with a glazing medium as well.” Samples, who has lived in Noblesville for 20 years with her husband, John Wayne Samples, also owns her own business, The Safety Firm — an OSHA-certified safety and health training consulting company that works with manufacturing and construction firms. “I also do a significant amount of safety training for the Indiana and Kentucky chambers of commerce,” she said. “I have done this for over 25 years.” Although running the business is her occupation, creating works of art is her passion. She is conducting a public reception for her exhibit from 6 to 7:30 p.m. June 5 at the Meyer Najem Gallery. Admission is free, and all of the displayed art will be available for purchase. “I want people to feel happy and encouraged,” Samples said of her exhibit. “I want them to see the beauty of our state through these wildflowers. Flowers make me happy, and the colors are beautiful. Many people see my work and say, ‘Wow, look at those colors.’ I think this show will have the same result. “I hope the show brings them some joy.”

Address: 12819 E. New Market St., Carmel What to get: Chicken & waffle Price: $10.99 Anna’s take: I had never been to Sahm’s Ale House, which is nestled in the Village of West Clay in Carmel, but I’m sure glad I visited. I went for brunch on a Sunday and ordered the chicken & waffle, which is not something I would typically order but I was craving something savory and sweet. The dish is a homemade waffle made with bacon and cheddar cheese and topped with

cinnamon honey butter, Nashville chicken tenders and maple syrup. I ordered a side of hash browns and also a piece of coffee cake, which, although rather small, was quite delicious. I was very impressed with the quality of the food for the price, and I would suggest strolling around the Village of West Clay afterward to see the beautiful houses, or stop by Danny Boy Beer Works, also in West Clay, for a flight of beer to top off brunch.

Behind bars: Plump the Cone Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 1.5 oz. plum rye, .25 oz. American picon simple syrup, 2 dashes black walnut bitters, 2 dashes black pineapple bitters, orange swath Directions: Stir ingredients in a wine glass or snifter and serve neat garnished with an orange swath.

A visit to Georgia O’Keeffe Museum

DISPATCH Wine with Mexican food — Pairing wine with Mexican dishes can be a challenge. Many Mexican restaurants only offer beer or margaritas. If wine is on the menu, how do you choose? Since Mexican restaurant food can be heavy, the trick is to go with a lighter wine. Prosecco is a crisp, refreshing wine that goes well with most Mexican dishes. Pinot grigio is another light wine that’s very versatile with Mexican food. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com

Commentary by Don Knebel There are many great reasons to visit Santa Fe, N.M., the most distinctive of our state capitals. A museum feaTRAVEL turing the works of Georgia O’Keeffe is among the best of those reasons. Georgia O’Keefe, who died in Santa Fe in 1986 at age 98, has been called the “Mother of American modernism.” During her long career, she created more than 2,000 paintings, about 200 of them involving flowers. One of the flower paintings, entitled “Jimson Weed/ White Flower No. 1,” sold at auction in 2014 for $44,405,000, establishing the still-existing record for a work of art by a female artist. More than 150 of her paintings, along with hundreds of photographs and other works, are housed in the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, established in Santa Fe soon after her death. Many of the displayed paintings depict scenes from New Mexico, which she began visiting in 1929, including those of animal skulls, one of her favorite subjects. The most famous paintings in the museum, many of them very large, depict all or parts of flowers. During her life, critics claimed that some of these flower paintings intentionally evoked female genitalia. That claim was enhanced by the contemporaneous exhibition of nude photos of her by Alfred Stieglitz, her lover and then husband, and her own explicit paintings of nude women. Although she denied the claim, its plausibil-

ity is established by simply looking at some of the works on display in the museum, including a 1919 oil on board called, “Series I/ White and Blue Flower Shapes.” You can see examples of Ms. O’Keeffe’s paintings locally at the Indianapolis Museum of Art Galleries at Newfields, which features a counterpart of the record-setting “Jimson Weed,” and at the Eiteljorg Museum. But if you want to see the most provocative of her paintings, you will have to go to Santa Fe.
