Ivy Tech Hamilton County celebrates anniversary, plans for growth in health care sector By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

Ivy Tech Hamilton County recently celebrated its first anniversary. Chancellor Stacy Atkinson said the EDUCATION campus enjoyed success and encountered challenges in its first year. The biggest challenge of all happened years before the campus even opened. In 2014, Hamilton County Commissioners worked with then-State Sen. Luke Kenley, the City of Noblesville, Noblesville Schools and the Hamilton County Council to create a plan for the county to purchase the then-Noblesville High School at 300 N. 17th St. for $12 million. The purchase would allow Noblesville Schools to build a larger high school to accommodate growth at 18111 Cumberland Rd. The former high school could be used as a community college campus. The vote narrowly passed the Hamilton County Council, 4-3. “We wouldn’t have Ivy Tech (without purchasing the former school),” Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said. “Nobody realizes what had to happen at that time to be able to get this school in there.” Heirbrandt said the commissioners won several awards from the Indiana Association for County Commissioners for the collaboration. Ivy Tech’s campus in Hamilton County then served as a satellite campus until July 2021, when it transitioned into an independent campus, which allowed for the school to have its own chancellor and expanded programs. Heirbrandt said the plan for purchasing the building was always to turn it into a community college campus that could feed the Hamilton County workforce. “As a commissioner, it’s definitely one of the top projects that people don’t talk about. We had a hand in making it happen,” Heirbrandt said. “To be able to watch that graduation and see the impact it has made on the people that have gotten their education there and then seeing them go out and prosper in the work environment, especially here in Hamilton County where we have been able to retain several of these folks that graduated, is certainly something to be proud of.” In its first year, the campus has grown from 16 employees to 48. Atkinson said one of the campus’ significant upcoming

projects is constructing a health care lab to expand medical degree and certification offerings. “We really are going to focus next year on health care expansion for us from zero to whatever it becomes,” Atkinson said. “So, we are going to really look at adding more programs every year as they become more in demand. Health care is one of those things we are looking into for sure.” As of July 8, Hamilton County had more than 1,400 open jobs in the health care sector, according to Invest Hamilton County. This is an increase of 16 percent from 2021. When it became an independent campus, Ivy Tech Hamilton County went from offer-

ing two degree/certification programs to 19. Enrollment exceeded goals by 40 percent. And 44 students graduated May 21 in the first commencement. Atkinson said finding enough space is an ongoing challenge. “Space became an issue very quickly. It’s a deceptive-looking building,” said Atkinson, a Westfield resident. “People look at it and think you have all this space. You do until you have 1,000 students and 48 employees. There were no conference rooms, so we had to make a conference room. It was a new campus, so we had to navigate our way through an entire year of firsts. I’m really proud of where we are.”

LIST OF PROGRAMS OFFERED AT IVY TECH HAMILTON COUNTY Ivy Tech Hamilton County offers a variety of programs for certificates or associate’s degrees. Certificate programs include: Addiction studies, professionalism in corrections, professionalism in policing, pre-nursing studies, certified nursing aid, medical assisting, building construction management specialist, carpentry specialist, electrical specialist, maintenance and light repair, automotive service technology, welding, early childhood education, education, general studies, Indiana College Core, business administration, global workforce skills, human resource management, insurance, supply chain management/logistics,

professional bookkeeping and payroll, software development, cyber security/ information assurance and website design.

Council approves preservation commission, ARPA funds By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com At the July 11 Westfield City Council meeting, the council approved the creation of a local historic preservation commission,

approved American Rescue Plan Act funds designated for nonprofits and denied a food truck’s request, among other items. The next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. July 25. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

What happened: The council unanimously approved the creation of a local historic preservation commission. What it means: As part of the state’s environmental review of the Ind. 32 expansion project, the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources issued a certificate of approval for the project. The certificate of approval requires the city, INDOT and other parties interested in preservation to reach a consensus on acceptable mitigations related to the project. The council passed the commission, which was tabled from the June 27 council meeting. What happened: The council unanimously approved designating $500,000 in ARPA funds to several nonprofits. What it means: The Westfield Education Foundation will receive $15,362. Trinity Free Clinic will receive $57,405. Young Life will receive $107,013. Westfield Youth Assistance will receive $20,887. Heart and Soul clinic will receive $150,168. Student Impact will receive $69,730. What happened: The council denied Star Steak Company’s food truck request. What it means: The council denied the request by a 5-2 vote. Star Steak Co. was requesting to provide a mobile food vending operation in Village Park Plaza from July 12 to Aug. 11. Since the company sells pre-packaged frozen steaks, the council was concerned about not receiving sales tax revenue from the operation. Council members also were concerned that the timeline was for more than a month. What happened: The council approved an amendment to the Andover planned unit development. What it means: The amendment is for a 2-acre parcel on Grassy Branch Road north of Washington Woods Elementary School. It modifies the architectural and development standards associated with the project. What happened: The council approved an interlocal agreement between the City of Westfield and Hamilton County. What it means: The project is for a culvert replacement on Westfield Park Road. Hamilton County has agreed to contribute $133,000 to the project. What happened: The council heard an introduction proposing an amendment to the Westfield Washington Township Unified Development Ordinance. What it means: The proposal updates the landscaping standard in the city’s UDO. It requires a performance bond for landscaping projects. A performance bond is a surety bond to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project by a contractor. Since it was only an introduction, a vote wasn’t taken.

What happened: The council heard an introduction for the Westfield Yard planned unit development. What it means: The PUD proposes 75 three-story townhomes on 11 acres southwest of Gray Road and Ind. 32. Townhomes would be valued between $450,000 and $500,000. Because it was an introduction, a vote wasn’t taken. Council members were concerned that the project was too close to a Duke Energy proposed substation at Ind. 32 and Gray Road.

Residents express concern with proposed transmission lines By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Many Westfield residents understand the need for more transmission lines and a substation to provide energy because of the city’s growth. But some DUKE ENERGY are asking Duke Energy to choose between two of its three proposed options for the transmission lines. Duke Energy plans to construct two new transmission lines and one new substation near the intersection of Ind. 32 and Moontown Road on the Westfield/Noblesville border.

The power lines will originate from the new substation and connect to an existing transmission line south of the substation and the Westfield Northeast substation to the north. The new northern line will be approximately 3 miles long and the southern line will be approximately 2 miles long, depending on the final routes selected. The new substation and transmission lines will serve Westfield and Noblesville residents. Residents are most concerned about an option where transmission lines are constructed near the Midland Trace Trail. Westfield resident Todd Ruhl’s house backs up to the

Midland Trace Trail. He uses the trail daily. He is concerned about the effect transmission lines might have on the Midland Trace Trail habitat. “There are animals of all types back there,” he said. “That’ll be destroyed. Anyone who uses the (trail) frequently knows that particular stretch is a really beautiful shaded area that everyone likes to walk through. It will totally not look the same anymore.” Ruhl has spoken with Duke Energy officials at public comment sessions as well as local legislators. He wants Continued on Page 7

She couldn’t control the left side of her body — it was a brain tumor After returning home from a weekend trip, RaNae Isaak experienced severe stiffness of her left arm and leg, and didn’t have an appetite. She realized something was wrong. “I kept having episodes where I would feel lightheaded and then, all of a sudden, I couldn’t control the left side of my body,” RaNae said. RaNae called the medical clinic at her work and was directed to go to the ER. Following multiple tests, a CT scan revealed a tumor in her brain. RaNae was transported to Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis where she received additional testing and met with her care team including neurosurgeons. After discussing various options with her doctors, she decided to have surgery to remove the tumor. “I was 37 years old at that time and didn’t want to keep experiencing those episodes,” RaNae said. RaNae had surgery at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, followed by physical therapy and chemotherapy, as a precautionary measure.

She said the first day she returned home, she went for a run outside. “I can’t speak highly enough about my entire care team and what they did for me,” RaNae said. “They helped me with everything and reassured me that I was going to get through it.” RaNae’s neurosurgeon, Charles Kulwin, MD, specializes in complex cranial conditions, neurosurgical disease and spine disorders. “It can be hard to go on about life normally after finding out you have a brain tumor,” said Dr. Kulwin. “Being able to guide patients through that initial discussion, their tumor treatment, and getting their life going again is rewarding each and every time.” RaNae said her life has returned to normal. She works full time, coaches basketball, runs, rides dirt bikes and graduated with her MBA. She encourages others to seek medical care if they notice something unusual with their health. “Your body is telling you something when you don’t have an appetite or when your muscles are doing something your

brain doesn’t tell them to do,” she said. “I look at this experience as a way I can help others, and I believe God had this happen to me so I could do just that.” Ascension St. Vincent offers the highest level of care for patients with even the most complex brain tumors. When you are diagnosed with a brain or spine condition, you want the best care. Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis is the only neurosurgery program in Indiana designated with The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Brain Tumor Care. And, it’s one of only five programs in the country with this designation. When you choose Ascension St. Vincent, you will have a team of highly trained and experienced neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurses and physical therapists. Ascension St. Vincent has the expertise to diagnose and treat even the most rare and complex brain tumors. Your neurosurgeon works with a team of specialists and is part of an integrated national network of doctors, sharing best practices, knowledge and research.

Continued from Page 6 Duke Energy to remove the Midland Trace Trail route from consideration for the new transmission lines. Ruhl also is concerned about the impact transmission lines might have on housing values in the area. “Right now, it’s just a nice looking (trail),” he said. Ruhl said Duke Energy has been receptive to his comments. Duke Energy sent the following statement to Current Publishing: “Preliminary route segments were identified through an in-depth route study and siting process performed by a team of engineers and environmental specialists. The final route selection will be based on multiple factors, including public input, land use, safety, reliability, cost, and cultural, natural, visual and water resources,” the statement read. “Our goal is to minimize impacts to homes and businesses, the environment, and cultural resources as we work to determine the final routes.” John Baldwin lives half a block from the trail in the Villages of Oak Manor, a Westfield neighborhood. He uses the trail daily to walk and ride his bicycle. “One of the things I don’t think most people realize is this trail, with the wetlands on

either side of it, is a songbird corridor,” he said. “So, at any given time, you can walk down the trail and or bike down the trail and you’ll encounter orioles, tanagers and the usual kinds of birds we have but also other birds we don’t normally see. Any kind of disruption along that trail could be detrimental to the local bird population.” Public comment period for the project ends July 21. Duke Energy expects to decide on the routes later this summer. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2024. For more, visit bit.ly/3aAQnWU.

Cric Indy uses game of cricket to promote diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the corporate world By Les Morris news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield’s Grand Park complex hosts hundreds of events throughout the year, but few will have more international flavor than next month’s cricket tournament sponsored by Cric Indy, a nonprofit whose vision is to use the uber-popular worldwide game as a tool to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the corporate world. The Grand Park event happens Aug. 27 with a start time of 8 a.m. Leading central Indiana companies such as Lilly and Deloitte have already registered to field teams. Eighteen companies participated in the last tournament, which was held in August 2019. Fifteen different countries were represented by the players. The Diversity Cup will once again be presented to the team that fields the most players from different nations and backgrounds. The sport seems to be picking up momentum in the U.S. USA Cricket estimates more than 200,000 people play in the U.S. in more than 400 local leagues, tournaments, academies and school programs. Worldwide, it is commonly thought that cricket is the second-most popular sport only behind soccer. Cric Indy was founded by Feroz Syed, who is CEO of RADcube, a technology consulting company. “There are so many cricket enthusiasts within the companies but there is less sharing of DEI,” Syed said. “You play cricket, and you go home. The intention here is to build a community from a DEI perspective.” With today’s fluid labor market, that perspective is in greater demand than ever. Tracy Barnes is the chief information officer for the state of Indiana and serves on Cric Indy’s advisory committee. He notes that the introduction of a new sport to the U.S. like cricket creates curiosity and a global awareness that goes beyond North American borders. “We are in a very, very difficult environment now, especially when you talk about technology,” Barnes said. “We have more jobs than people. International talent is a pool we should be able to tap into. We need that support now.” Barnes became familiar with cricket

when he worked in England for one year in 2003, helping to install a software system for the University of Cambridge. “You’re not getting a lot of American sports over there, so you watch what’s on,” he said. “Monday Night Football doesn’t exist.” Barnes said he is attempting to organize a team of state employees for the tournament. “We’re working on that,” he said. “We’re trying to figure out if some folks have experience.” The day before the action on the field, a

networking event will be held at the Lilly Corporate Center. Speakers will include Indiana Lt. Gov. Susan Crouch and Karrah Herring, chief equity, inclusion and opportunity officer for the state of Indiana. The theme of the conference is “Women in Leadership,” and there will be a panel discussion focused on gender equity. In the end, Cric Indy is simply a vehicle for progress. “Cricket is a common interest to bring all these people together,” Syed said. “We are all learning from each other, and we are building a diverse community together.”

Cricket is immensely popular worldwide, by most estimates is only behind soccer. It thrives in countries such as India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand and England, to name a few. To Americans, it has echoes of the U.S. national pastime, baseball. Indeed, the ball used to play very much resembles a baseball, only traditionally dyed red instead of white. Each team consists of 11 players who play not on a diamond but a large, oval, grassy space with a diameter of between 450 and 500 feet, called the pitch. Some of the positions include a batsman who use a flat bat to hit the ball; a bowler who like a pitcher is charged with getting the batsman out; and fielders. For more, visit cricindy.com.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Making false assumptions

Quirks of true love

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

It has come into vogue in recent years for the bureaucratic managers and technocrats of giant institutions to opine on the various machinations of the petty political world. Self-appointed moral philosophers, they take stands, almost always against, some perceived cultural limitation upon their will. To be sure, the entrepreneur, an entirely different animal, has the absolute right to express their point of view, however disfavored and destructive it may be. But the magistrate of a shareholder-owned enterprise is allowed to speak for those shareholders only when specifically authorized to do so. Too often, their poorly considered and preening declarations fly in the face of the best interest of the company and its stakeholders, however loosely defined. So common has it become, in fact, that those of us pushing our own moral agenda have begun to presume the endorsement of entire classes of humans. So goes the logic, “If you are a big-company CEO, you must believe as we do — so, short of asking for your endorsement of our view, we will assume it.” Recently, a handful of CEOs uncharacteristically resisted. Finding their names and that of their companies on some publicly distributed epistle, they cried foul, claiming that they had never agreed to be included and had not been asked or approached to consider. Wisely, one can suppose, given the current intolerance in our public square, that they did not share a point of view on the matter but only revealed that the publicist canvassing the missive was fraudulent in their assertions. The issuer of the false communique conceded hubris but asserted their chaste integrity of intent. Are we all too eager to assume the support of those around us? When, if ever, are we right to charge ahead without asking for consent? And does assuming agreement grant the right?

My husband Doo and I are just back from two weeks of international travel. By ourselves! That’s 14 days of uninterrupted quality time together, including many hours in close proximity while suffering airport delays, mega-city traffic and one questionable outrigger ride. And yet, I still kind of dig him! Not so much this morning, as we are both battling jet lag and he is masticating his granola less than 5 feet from me, but it’s nice to know that when we are removed from the day-to-day stresses of life, we love each other. We really do! Doo and I have always served as strong trip partners. We pack light, move quickly and by and large have the same agenda. Does he occasionally break rank, order a third Mai Tai, and then bail on a scheduled tour? Yes. And does my highly regimented bedtime routine, which can’t possibly be replicated in a hotel with a gecko living in the ceiling, sometimes mean I am annoyingly grumpy at the museum? Absolutely. But we’ve been married long enough to embrace each other’s “quirks” and recognize that every new experience, good or bad, is about making memories. Like, how I lost Doo’s Mastercard before we’d even left the U.S. And how Doo threw a tantrum at a check-in kiosk after learning that we first needed a COVID-19 passport, and second, went to the wrong application website and were scammed $150. Not our finest hours, but we were able to put things in perspective and move on. So, though the affection is fading with each cereal bite (seriously, too loud!), we still love each other. We really do! Peace out.

Function over fashion Commentary by Dr. Jeremy Ciano Who doesn’t love a great pair of sunglasses? With summer in full swing, everyone is champing at the bit VISION to get back outside and sport their stylin’ sunnies. But let’s set aside our fashion infatuation for a bit and discuss the medical and functional importance of sunglasses. As most know, ultraviolet radiation can have a dramatic deleterious impact on human tissue. The eyes are prone to cataract formation with increased UV exposure. Research is also showing that sustained UV damage is one of the leading causes of macular degeneration. We cannot stress enough the importance of high-quality UV-A and UV-B protection in your sunglasses. Unfortunately, a lot of the lower-quality plastics don’t provide UV protection. This is actually a double whammy for trouble, because with darkened lenses our pupils get larger to let in more light. The problem is, we are now letting in more than twice as much harmful UV light than without any sunglasses at all! Think about that the next

time you are at the gas station considering your next fashion statement. Polarization is key to visual clarity. Polarized lenses help to block glare and to crisp up our vision. Polarized lenses alone do not have UV protection. You need both in your sunglasses to ensure the most protection and best visual performance. Another key element in choosing your perfect pair of sunnies is the curvature and your physical needs. Too much curve on your glasses or a single lens ‘shield’ will eliminate your ability to put your prescription into your new sunglasses. There are also considerations that need to be made with respect to the size of the lenses as well as the holding mechanisms to ensure your glasses stay in place even during the most rigorous of activities. Dr. Jeremy A. Ciano, an international lecturer and published author, is a Current Publishing columnist. For more information or to ask a question, he may be emailed at DrCiano@ Revolution-EYES.com.

West Fork is taking an innovative approach to hiring in the highly competitive labor market. The company is offering all full-time employees above-average wages, bonus opportunities, paid vacation and a full suite of benefits traditionally omitted for employees in the production, hospitality and retail sectors. “We’ve rethought each front-line position, creating an organization of valued ambas-

sadors for our brand,” co-owner Blake Jones said. “To attract and retain committed, talented team members, we realized we also had to challenge the conventional compensation structures. We believe that these steps are going to not only improve the livelihoods of our employees, but also help build a West Fork family that will be part of the organization for years to come.” West Fork recently named Carlos Salazar as its executive chef for the farm-to-table restaurant at the agritourism facility. West Fork Whiskey also recently named Megan Ray as program manager, Craig Rogers as hospitality manager and Todd Tapp as beverage director.

2011 DADillac For Sale On March 17, 2022, our dad was called home to begin his eternal life free of pain and illness. What he left behind was a family who loved him, friends that will miss him and a legacy of memories that we can never forget. One of his items for which we are seeking a new home is his car that he cherished. He owned a 2011 Cadillac DTS which was his pride and joy. Having grown up and raised his family in a town dominated by General Motors, his goal was to “Climb the Ladder” as he would say regarding the GM family of cars. In the 1960s, he kept the garage occupied with Chevys and Pontiacs. In 1973, he graduated to Oldsmobiles, and they dominated the rest of the ‘70s. Always, he kept his eye on the Cadillac one day being the ultimate prize. Then, in 1985 he made it to the top when he was able to buy a used 1982 Eldorado. From that day forward, the only car he steered was a Cadillac. He liked the big ones, primarily Sedan Deville because, “You are always safer in a big car.” He liked to run them through car washes regularly because “A clean car always seems to run better.” We have had his 2011 DTS Sedan checked out by a master technician and a local tire store in Carmel. Both said that this would be a good used car for anyone looking for size and a little old-school styling. Includes Dad’s 2006 Rand McNally Road Atlas at no additional cost.

Teen embraces dream role in ‘42nd Street’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Mary Kate Tanselle gets to leave Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Program on an absolute high. THEATER “This is a huge dream role for me, so I’m so excited,” said Tanselle, who is headed to Northwestern University to major in pre-med and minor in musical theater and dance. Tanselle, a 2022 Park Tanselle Tudor School graduate from Carmel, plays Peggy Sawyer in Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Program’s production of “42nd Street” July 28-31 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Sawyer has to fill in for the leading performer, who breaks her ankle. “Her dream is to be in the chorus,” Tanselle said. “She never expects what happens in the show to happen to her. She is pretty easy for me to relate to. She taps a lot, which is my favorite kind of dance in music theater. She is bright-eyed. She has a lot she wants to accomplish, so I relate to her optimism and her dreams and aspirations.’’ Tanselle said is she is so passionate about the musical and her character that she tends to want to overdo it sometimes. Her biggest challenge is finding the right balance. “Our director, Emily Tzucker, has been working with me finding the authenticity in the character,” Tanselle said. “I’m trying to play what I think she is supposed to be.” Tanselle has been performing in Civic Theatre productions for 10 years. “It’s really bittersweet,” she said of her final role for now. “But I love this show. I’ve been tapping for 13 or 14 years. As a tapper growing up, this is a show I was very much familiar with. It’s the role I’ve always wanted to play.” One new aspect for Tanselle is the dancers have to tap in heels rather than their usual flat shoes.

“It’s more a joy than a challenge because I’m having so much fun,” she said. “Yes, the steps are hard and really fast, but it’s so much fun you forget the stress of it.” Jilayne Kistner, who will be a junior at Zionsville Community High School in August, plays Dorothy Brock. “I really like how she truly is the diva of the Kistner show,” Kistner said. “She is the embodiment of a ‘girl boss’ in today’s words. I’ve never gotten to play a role like her, so I think it’s a cool opportunity to have a lot of fun developing my character.” Kistner said she doesn’t see a lot of herself in the character. “I’m a strong and independent person and she does give a lot of that (vibe),” Kistner said. “She is not the nicest character in the world.” Kistner said her character doesn’t tap but she is given the opportunity to tap in the opening and finale of the show. With her mother, Jennie Kistner, being a vocal teacher, Kistner has been singing since she was very young. “Anytime I’m in a show, I’m the happiest I can ever be,” Kistner said. “It brings me so much joy to sing and dance and do

what I love. I saw ‘42nd Street’ when Beef & Boards did it a couple of years ago, but I wasn’t super familar with the music. I love a good golden age musical.” This is Kistner’s first YAP show, but she performed with Jr. Civic for two years. “It’s been fun to reunite from Jr. Civic, and I know a lot of people from Zionsville from the show choir or the school musical,” she said. Anjali Gupta, who will be a ZCHS senior, plays Phyllis Dale. “I think a hard part is her character is trying to stay upbeat and happy all the time,” Gupta said. “But (she’s) also being sassy at the same time because you don’t want to come off as rude. So, I’m trying to balance those two sides of her character.” Gupta said she is getting used to the fast tapping. “I’ve done tap for several years. It’s my favorite type of dance,” said Gupta, who has been performing in musicals since elementary school. Tzucker, a Carmel resident and Ball State University professor in the theater and dance department, said the cast has rehearsed for several weeks. “In five weeks, we’re pulling together what is considered one of the most enormous and beautiful big tap musicals ever made,” Tzucker said. “The show has a lot of leads and a big ensemble.”

Indy Shorts feature 2 area films By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The idea for “Toboggan ‘Bout Town” started with a text of a movie idea that Rocky Walls received. DOCUMENTARY “My friend Geoff Davis, who I know from working together on various projects in our beloved community of Noblesville, told me the following story and invited us to join them for the ride,” said Walls, a Fishers resident who is the director of Noblesville-based 12 Stars Media. “Three years ago, Davis organized a community toboggan build at the Hamilton East Public Library, where he was artist-in-residence. A hundred people joined in, assisting six craftspeople, to create two traditional American toboggans. “That day a dream was born — to design and build a toboggan and then represent his Indiana community, Noblesville, at the U.S. National Toboggan Championships in Camden, Maine.” Walls said several community partners, including his team at 12 Stars Media, lent a hand to literally build the toboggan and send the team to the championship. Walls said they documented the whole process, even the team going down the hill in Camden. The short film will be featured as part of the Indiana Spotlight I category in the Indy Shorts International Film Festival, which runs July 19-24. “Toboggan ‘Bout Town” will be shown at 2 p.m. July 23 at the Toby Theater Newfields in Indianapolis. “Other than the fact that the whole process was a blast, why did we do it? To inspire others to have big, crazy ideas and to be willing to chase them down,” Walls said. “With all our work, we want viewers to walk away feeling inspired. With ‘Toboggan ‘Bout Town.’ if even one person says, ‘I’m going to go on that camping trip I’ve been talking about for years,’ or, ‘I’m signing up for that class,’ or, ‘We’re going to do that DIY project we’ve been putting off,’ it’ll be worth it.” Grant Michael, director of photography for 12 Stars Media, said the experience of documenting the story was enjoyable and inspiring. “There’s such a sense of camaraderie and friendship among the guys who made up the team, and on top of that, their passion for bettering and strengthening their community is contagious,” Michael said. To view the film, visit 12starsmedia.com/ toboggan-bout-town.

Fishers-based Tilt23 Studios documentary, “The Supper Club,” is part of Indiana Spotlight 2 and will be shown at 3 p.m. July 24. It centers on Noblesville restaurant 9th Street Bistro’s adjustment when the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020. “Kyle Fisher, our director of photography, and his wife, Kari, introduced us to 9th Street during the pandemic,” said Fortville resident David Neidert, the lead filmmaker at Tilt23 Studios. “At the time, 9th Street was only offering the Sunday Supper Club. My wife and I began ordering food and were blown away at how good it was, in spite of the fact that they were meals you finished cooking at home. We learned about their plans for opening right around the time that the pandemic hit, and their subsequent pivot and adaptation, and thought that it was a really compelling story. So, we reached out and began discussing making a short doc about it. “The story became about much more than just a restaurant impacted by the pandemic and evolved to really dive into local food, farming and community.” For more, visit indyshorts.org.

What’s this mumbo-jumbo? Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I promise I’m not trying to get this song stuck in your head, but its lyrics illustrate the language term I want to discuss. And I promise I wouldn’t GRAMMAR GUY bring it up if this 1960 hit pop song’s b-side didn’t also illustrate the point. However, it’s impossible not to get this earworm stuck in your head if I just write, “It was an itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie yellow polka dot bikini.” Sorry. What is it about “itsy-bitsy” and “teenie-weenie”? Not only that, but what was it about singer Brian Hyland’s b-side of the single entitled “Don’t Dilly Dally, Sally”? In the case of the b-side track, “dilly dally” is yet another “reduplicative,” or “ricochet word.” A reduplicative word is composed of two similar or identical parts. Sometimes the words rhyme, as in “razzle-dazzle,” but that isn’t a requirement. And, no, not all reduplicative words are hyphenated. I think reduplicative words are fun, so let’s learn some more — I promise it won’t be a bunch of flim-flam or mumbo-jumbo. Many reduplicative words have to do with a state of chaos, their repetitive nature intensifying a sense of insanity in your ears. If you do things all “higgledy-piggledy” or “willy-nilly,” that means you approach daily tasks in a disorderly manner. Some

might even say you’re all “helter-skelter.” A disorganized, irresponsible person might be called “harum-scarum.” If you hear a wild commotion outside, you might either say, “What’s all that hubbub?” or “What’s the hullaballoo?” Either way, you’d be describing a noisy disturbance. Other reduplicative words fall into a broad category of personal slights — the kind of words you’d hear second-graders calling each other at recess. I’ve been called “artsy-fartsy” more times than I can count, but I’m not “fancy-schmancy,” nor am I “hoity-toity.” A person who is considered too old-fashioned might be called a “fuddy-duddy” or a “goody-goody.” When it comes to reduplicative words with identically duplicated stems, I mostly think of “baby’s first words”: mama, dada, night night, boo-boo, go bye-bye, that’s a no-no, etc. However, others aren’t just for babies. For instance, I like my clothes to look coordinated, but I don’t want to be all matchy-matchy. I promise I’m not wishy-washy, but I only have so many words to describe this hodgepodge mishmash of the English language.
