Sixty percent of health care workers and first responders had been vaccinated or were scheduled to be vaccinated. As of Jan. 27, state officials said Indiana had received 809,400 vaccine doses, and they expect allotments to increase by a small percentage following news from the federal government that states will receive an additional 13,000 doses each week. State officials said the additional doses won’t change plans to vaccinate Hoosiers by age groups. They believe vaccinating the state’s oldest populations will prevent the most deaths and hospitalizations. Holcomb and state health officials have repeatedly said they can vaccinate more Hoosiers but are limited by the number of doses they receive from the federal government. Hoosiers ages 65 to 69 are the next group expected to be eligible. State officials said that could happen within the next several days. Those eligible for a vaccine can schedule a vaccine appointment by visiting ourshot. in.gov. or by calling 2-1-1.

The views of the columnists in Current in Zionsville are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

The Indiana Court of Appeals recently affirmed the convictions and 23-year sentence of a former Witham APPEAL Health Services pediatrician who is serving prison time for felony convictions of child molestation, sexual misconduct with a minor and child seduction. Between July 2018 and February 2019, Dr. Jonathon Cavins, 46, saw five boys between the ages of 12 and 16 for physical examinations at his Lebanon practice. Cavins was convicted and sentenced for acts perpetrated on the five victims while he was their treating pediatrician. A Boone County jury convicted Cavins in February 2020 on five criminal felony counts

(two counts of child molesting, a Level 4 felony; one count of sexual misconduct with a minor, a Level 5 felony; and two counts of child seduction, a Level 6 felony). In June 2020, he was sentenced to a total sentence of 23 years, with 19 years to be served with the Indiana Dept. of Corrections, followed by four years of probation. Cavins appealed the sentence, claiming the state “failed to introduce evidence sufficient to sustain any of his convictions, the trial court abused its discretion in sentencing him, and his sentence (was) inappropriately harsh,” according to a court document. The Indiana Court of Appeals found “the jury had ample evidence from which it could infer that Cavins had the requisite intent to support his five convictions.”

Additionally, the Court of Appeals ruled Cavins “failed to establish that his aggregate twenty three-year sentence with four years suspended to probation is inappropriate in light of the nature of his offenses and his character.” Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood stated the county is “grateful that the (Indiana) Court of Appeals upheld the convictions and sentence.” “(The) ruling further confirms the strength and courage demonstrated by the boys that came forward to tell their story of abuse and the outstanding job performed by the investigation team, which included members of the Boone County Prosecutor’s Office, Lebanon Police Department and Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center.”

Zionsville Town Council debates fee increases By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council passed a motion Jan. 19 to approve fees for the town’s dog park, which was to PANDEMIC open Feb. 1, while tabling the remainder of the proposed fees in the town’s fee schedule for consideration during the next council meeting. The motion passed 5-1, with council Vice President Jason Plunkett voting against. Plunkett said he doesn’t support increasing fees during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I would just go back to my initial stance that, in a pandemic year, my appetite for fee increases and new fees is just not there,” Plunkett said.

But other councilors, including President Josh Garrett, said they understand why some town departments proposed fee increases. The town council annually votes to approve a fee schedule, a list of all town fees for the year. The fees are not taxes and are charged to individuals for recreational use of town amenities. In addition to fee increases, the town has proposed new fees to be added to the schedule, including for reserving shelters, reserving sports fields, special event trail use, dog park memberships, duplications of body camera videos and accident photos from the Zionsville Police Dept. and for meeting rooms, among other fees. Zionsville Parks & Recreations Dept. Supt. Jarod Logsdon said the fees are often fun-

neled directly to town departments to fund programs offered to the community. Fees for a Heritage Trail Dog Park membership or Zionsville Golf Course season pass, for example, would be used to increase the number of parks and recreations programs throughout the year, he said. During the council’s Jan. 4 meeting, councilors asked Logsdon to prepare a presentation for the Jan. 19 meeting to explain why the department suggested increases for some of its fees. To recover costs for programs, Logsdon said the department uses funds allotted from the town’s general fund to pay for facilities and primary staff, who then create programs based on public interest. He said fees are reinvested into programming operations.

Logsdon said many of the proposed fee increases correspond with increased services for the community, including adding additional days or times for certain programs, and adding space for birthday party rentals at the town’s nature center. Logsdon said the proposed increases pertain to users. As a result, the department plans to recoup costs by allowing residents continued use of free programs and amenities that benefit the community, such as parks, trails and special events, while incrementally charging participating individuals for specialized services, such as birthday parties and private events, by using a sustainable programming model to figure costs. The town councilors said they would continue the fee schedule discussion during the Feb. 1 council meeting.

Choices narrow for clinics By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County Health Dept. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Tom Ryan said the county has idenVACCINATIONS tified two potential COVID-19 vaccination sites in Lebanon and another at Traders Point Christian Church. He said another might be considered for the west side of the county. Ryan said the BCHD likely would not have enough staff or volunteers to operate all of the proposed sites, and the department hasn’t determined how many additional vaccination sites it might establish. Department officials said they will need more vaccination sites when state officials grant eligibility to younger age groups. Currently, the BCHD operates a vaccination clinic at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds. Witham Health Services also is performing immunizations. “It would be nice to have at least another site in Lebanon,” Ryan said. “It would be nice to have another site toward the south of the county as well. Now, if we had to

make a choice, we have two sites in Lebanon already. If we were looking specifically at staffing, what would make the most sense? Let’s get one toward the bottom of the county to have that third site.” County officials are waiting for more information regarding a potential state-sponsored mobile vaccination site in Boone County. Ryan said state officials would determine whether a mobile clinic would be established in the county based on the success of other state-sponsored vaccination clinics. He said the mobile clinic would operate for a few days before departing. Ryan said if the mobile site was established and was successful, it might be utilized again in the future. County officials are working to identify a location for a potential mobile site. “There’s a lot of locations in play,” Ryan said. “What we are trying to figure out, working with the state, is who is ultimately responsible (for the county’s next vaccination site). Would it fall under the health department? Would it fall under the state? Would it fall under one of the fire departments if one of them wanted to step up? So we are just trying to figure out those answers.”

COMMUNITY krM Architecture selected to design new library branch in Whitestown news@currentinzionsville.com The Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library Board of Trustees has selected Indianapolis-based krM CONSTRUCTION Architecture to design its new branch in Whitestown. “We were impressed by krM’s unique library designs, their attention to library trends and their good stewardship of public funds,” HMMPL Board member Molly Hanlon stated. “krM will help us build a library that is a gathering place for the community and will stand the test of time.” HMMPL expanded its service area to include Worth Township in August 2020. Residents can register for a library card online at bit.ly/HMMPLcard. The HMMPL Expansion Committee and an advisory group comprised of Worth Township residents are evaluating potential sites for the building, which could open as soon as late 2022. Public input will be solicited from area residents in the coming months to help guide the design of the new facility. krM was one of eight architectural firms asked to submit a request for qualifications in December 2020. After reviewing the submissions and conducting online interview sessions with three finalists, committee members selected krM to oversee the project. The HMMPL Board of Trustees formally approved the decision on Jan. 21. “We look forward to working with the library and the community to build a community library that will meet the unique needs of area residents now and into the future,” stated Kevin Montgomery, an architect and krM Architecture AIA partner. krM has worked on 16 major Indiana library projects in the past five years, including the design of the Michigan Road branch of the Indianapolis Public Library system, the Sugar Creek branch of the Hancock County Public Library and the West Lafayette Public Library. Approximately 90 percent of krM’s work is within central Indiana, according to the library. In addition, krM has collaborated with several local engineering firms, including Indianapolis-based JQOL and CMTA, with whom it will work on the new Whitestown branch.

Zionsville dentist sells practice after 47 years in town By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Dr. James Brown, a dentist who has practiced in Zionsville for 47 years, retired on Dec. 31, 2020, after a twoBUSINESS year search for a suitable successor. After a chance meeting, Brown decided to sell to Dr. David Taler and Dr. Natalie Mercho, a married couple who own Advanced Family Dentistry. “Most of the years were spent at the 135 S. 2nd St. address,” Brown said of his practice. “I’ve been here long enough that you can see two to three, sometimes four generations in a family as we’ve been treating them. As I started to get to thinking about retiring a couple years ago, I kind of made up my mind what I was looking for, and it took me two years to find (them).” Taler and Mercho opened their second practice Jan. 4 at 135 S. 2nd St. in Zionsville, where Brown previously practiced. The couple moved to Indianapolis in 2012 to be closer to Mercho’s family in the Geist area. They then opened their first practice in Fishers in 2014. Taler and Mercho now live in Carmel but plan to move to Zionsville after their new home is built. Brown met the couple after a friend asked Mercho if she and Taler were interested in buying another practice. “I said (to her), ‘Yeah, we are actually looking for one, but there is nothing on the market right now,’” Mercho said. Mercho’s friend gave her a phone number for a person who happened to be Brown’s daughter-in-law, who Mercho grew up with in Noblesville, and recommended they con-

tact Brown. “I was not interested in selling out to corporate dentistry,” Brown said. “I wanted somebody who was going to carry on the philosophy I had of working with patients and for patients, and after talking to David several times, I decided my search was done.” Advanced Family Dentistry in Zionsville will continue to provide routine and emergency dentistry but will expand services to include more advanced procedures, such as dental implants and “full-smile makeovers.” The new owners plan to invest more than $150,000 in improvements and remodeling in the space, Taler said. “A practice seems to take on the personality of its doctor, of its owner, and it’s been so amazing walking into this place,” Taler said. “Patients are welcoming us. This is just the kindest and nicest and most genuine group of people, and obviously, it’s a reflection of Dr. Brown. It’s going to take my wife and I to even try to attempt to fill his shoes.” Taler has won numerous patient-focused honors, including being named a Top 10 Dentist in Indiana by the National Academy for Dental Professionals, among other awards. Mercho attended the Veterans Affairs Hospital residency program in Baltimore and completed a general practice residency at the Brooklyn Hospital in New York before joining a practice in downtown Baltimore. She recently expanded her training in Invisalign, Botox and Dermafil. Although retired from practicing, Brown still teaches one day a week at the Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis.

“It was such a pleasure to work with John and Mary Jane! They exceeded our expectations in every way. Their expertise and knowledge of the market made them true partners in selling our home quickly.” – Kyle and Tosha Saylers “We lived in our home for over 32 years. When it was time to sell, we called Mary Jane and John. They were understanding, helpful, and always just a phone call or text message away.

Project: North-South Connector Location: The final element to begin on the project is the new, two-lane roundabout on Oak Street at C.R. 850 E., also known as Cooper Road. While Oak Street is planned to remain open to traffic throughout this phase, C.R. 850 E. will close south of the intersection for approximately 30 days during construction.

ZPD serves as distribution site for donations to nonprofits news@currentinzionsville.com Because of a larger-than-normal donation from the Whitestown Amazon fulfillment center to the Community CHARITY Foundation of Boone County, the Zionsville Police Dept. recently served as a site to distribute items to more than 30 local nonprofits. Several times each year, the Whitestown Amazon fulfillment center makes a donation to the CFBC, and a Jan. 15 donation was the largest to date, consisting of six pallets of shoes, school supplies, cleaning supplies and towels, among other items. Because of the size of the donation, county and foundation officials secured the Zionsville Police Dept. as a new location to distribute the donated items, which are typically distributed out of Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center in Lebanon. Volunteers, board members and CFBC staff unloaded the pallets, and within the first hour of opening, more than 30 nonprofits arrived, including Boone County Senior

Because this load was so large, the nonprofit jumped in to help finish unloading and organizing before taking items for their organization. It was truly a blessing and an unforgettable experience.”

INNER PEACE Local therapist works with The Cabin to establish The Retreat in Zionsville By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Retreat was born out of therapist Laura Weaver’s words of encouragement to her clients. Weaver, a Zionsville resident, has worked at The Cabin Counseling and Resource Center in Zionsville since 2017. She joined The Cabin’s staff full time in 2018. Prior to The Cabin, Weaver worked for Zionsville Community Schools and Cathedral High School for 10 years. “I joined The Cabin in 2017, and I was Weaver working in both the schools and The Cabin, and during the day, I was doing school counseling, and then at night, I was doing therapy,” Weaver said. “I was hoping to integrate a program for the schools to help bridge the two worlds, and what I found is that education is such a separate beast to mental health that most of my clients preferred coming here to The Cabin.” Weaver often offers adventure therapy to her clients. She also specializes in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, for clients who’ve experienced trauma. “I’m client-centered, so that client is leading their healing

journey,” Weaver said. “(The Retreat) was born out of how I’m always encouraging my clients to practice things we practice, like things to find space and to go to workshop or to group. I said we need a space (where) everyone feels welcome, and they feel this sense of belonging, and there’s no judgement.” Weaver offers an option for her clients to practice mindfulness, participate in small groups or visualization practices and yoga. Weaver began renovating the space at 25 E. Pine St., just blocks from The Cabin Counseling and Resource Center at 220 S. Elm St., in early December 2020. Renovation finished earlier this month. Weaver plans to implement three tiers of therapy at The Retreat. “The way I envision it is, there is an entry tier, which would be experiential mindfulness, and yoga practices, where anybody in the community can come and practice those,” Weaver said. The first-tier programs would either be free or low cost. The second tier consists of workshops or seminars. “This would be experiences where people are going to receive information and education and then apply it in their lives.” Weaver estimates the second tier would cost $30 to $50. Workshops would last roughly 90 minutes. The third tier would be groups and be more clinical focused. “Think about addictions or eating disorders or anxiety,” Weaver said of the third tier. She doesn’t yet have a price point for tier, but she estimates groups would be in four- to six-week meeting cycles. Weaver said The Retreat can serve as a way to bridge

Anyone in the community can register for events at The Retreat and do not need to be a current client of The Cabin to participate. For more, visit thecabin.org.

Don’t throw more fuel on political fire

Commentary by Terry Anker For some of us, trying new restaurants is a must. Each meal must be unlike any that we’ve ever had before. We learn of the newest “fusion” dining spot that purports to have successfully mixed traditional Central African cuisine with that of the varied Inuit tribes of the distant North American territories. Monkey maghaz, or monkey brain, sauteed in aged whale blubber presents the diner with a legitimate claim to be on the cutting edge of foodie culture. For others, we prefer the tried and true. Our instincts take us to the same restaurants, with the same menu, to order the same meal. Much like Steve Jobs wearing his daily uniform of jeans and a black turtleneck, it frees us up to devote ourselves to the many other things that require our focused attention. Is it really spawned in some deep-rooted and well-thought out origin, or could it be that we simply like what we like? Isn’t variety the spice of life? Well, sure. But also, isn’t it bad to throw out the baby with the bathwater? Sure it is. We are stuck in some loop like poor old Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof.” Is tradition the key, or is it time for something else? Likely, there is no definitive answer. We rely upon our experience and tastes to help guide us. Throughout our lives, we confirm and reconfirm our choices. New was bad. Let’s not do that again. Or, new was wonderful, we should experiment more often. Either way, we reinforce ourselves until the choice, through repeated wear, becomes a blister, then a callus and, ultimately, a bias. Ultimately, we shun some options, secure in our certainty that we know what we like. Or we cuddle into the equally false belief that everything deserves a go, that nothing is reaching too far.

I can see clearly now Commentary by Danielle Wilson Anyone else have Dolly Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” looping in her psychological playlist? Despite HUMOR still feeling utterly exhausted all the time, I have to admit to finally having a bit of hope for 2021. Let’s do this! My mom and in-laws recently received their first COVID-19 vaccinations, easing the weight of worry I’ve carried for almost a year about their health. Although teachers are no longer on the Indiana priority list, I figure if I’ve made it this far without getting sick, the odds are in my favor that I’ll make it to summer. Go masks, over 70 percent alcohol hand sanitizer and social paranoia! Two-thirds of my college kids are back on their respective campuses, with the last set to return in another week. Praise be! They’ve been home since Thanksgiving, eating, laundry-ing and generally not adulting to their hearts content. While it was great to have our six-pack reunited for the

holidays, even a nice Imperial IPA can skunk with too much exposure. “We love you! You’re beautiful! Don’t let the door …!” You know the drill. The 2020 election is over. We have a new president. We have a female veep. They were both sworn in as part of a wonderfully peaceful, inspiring and inclusive ceremony. And we were introduced to the astounding Amanda Gorman. Enough said. I am still in bed most nights before 9 p.m., wake on Wednesdays wishing they were Fridays and require copious amounts of coffee and Netflix teen dramas to get me through, but I can see the light of clear blue morning on the horizon. Sing it, Dolly! 2021! 2021! 2021! Peace out.

I am still in bed most nights before 9 p.m., wake on Wednesdays wishing they were Fridays and require copious amounts of coffee and Netflix teen dramas to get me through, but I can see the light of clear blue morning on the horizon.

Editor, I am writing in reference to the “campy escape” article by Danielle Wilson on Jan. 19. It is an OK article offering ideas to occupy yourself during these crazy times, but her second sentence is disturbing. We all find strong political opinions on mainstream media and social media, but a paper like Current or a site like Nextdoor are places that we should be able to go for an escape. For her to use negative and hateful terms against our outgoing president serves no purpose. It is her own strong personal opinion, and this particular sentence shows a radical extreme abuse of Current (Publishing). There is enough hate and divide without throwing fuel on the fire. Please use a little more restraint in the future. Mike Podgorski, Carmel

Oh, Henry: Remembering ‘Hammerin’ Hank Commentary by Dick Wolfsie It was April 8, 1974. The Atlanta Braves were playing a home game against the L.A. Dodgers. Henry Aaron had HUMOR already hit his 714th home run to tie Babe Ruth’s record. That evening, I played hooky from the night class I was teaching to listen to the game. On his second time at bat, Aaron rifled one over the left-field fence for No. 715. He circled the bases, and this was the announcer’s call: “A black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record by an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment it is for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the world.” Then, Vince Scully went silent, letting his viewers absorb the moment. Scully, arguably the greatest baseball announcer of all time, had made the call for arguably the greatest hitter of all time. Hank Aaron was a poor young man from Mobile, Ala., who played in the Negro League for the Indianapolis Clowns at a starting salary of $200 a month. “I think there was more talent in that

league than in the majors,” Aaron said. Aaron ultimately hit 758 four-baggers, a record that would hold for 32 years until it was finally eclipsed by Barry Bonds. When Bonds heard of Aaron’s death, he said, “Thanks for all you have taught us … for being a trailblazer through adversity and setting an example for all of us African American ballplayers who came after you.”

In one of his final interviews, Aaron was asked if he had any regrets. The answer from one of the humblest men in the history of the sport was, “Yes, all the men I left on base.” I called Carl Erskine, the retired Anderson banker who pitched for the Dodgers from 1945 to 1958, and who toward the end of his career faced Aaron multiple times. Anticipating my first question, Erskine remarked, “He hit five home runs off of me, but that’s OK, because he hit 17 off of Don Drysdale (a Dodger Hall of Famer). His home runs were bullets — screaming line drives.” Erskine, who faced the likes of Willie

Mays and Stan Musial, was most impressed with how easy Aaron made it look. His pitching teammate, Preacher Roe, once told Erskine, “He hits like he’s taking a shower.” Aaron had no weaknesses. He could hit the ball anywhere near the plate. “Attack the ball before it attacks you,” he once told Erskine. Hank Aaron battled the same brutal racism other Black players faced, and the intensity of the hate grew as he approached Babe Ruth’s record. Carl knew exactly how Aaron felt, for Carl had befriended Jackie Robinson, Major League Baseball’s first African American player. In one of his final interviews, Aaron was asked if he had any regrets. The answer from one of the humblest men in the history of the sport was, “Yes, all the men I left on base.” Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker. Contact him at wolfsie@aol.com.

BCHD reports decline in COVID-19 cases By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept. reported a decrease in weekly COVID-19 cases for the week of Jan. 9 to Jan. 15. PANDEMIC The department reported 327 new cases for that week, compared to 557 cases the week of Jan. 2 to Jan. 8. COVID-19 cases decreased between Jan. 16 and Jan. 22, as the BCHD reported 219 cases. Each of the department’s reporting weeks end on a Friday. “Our previous reports have been showing the numbers have been going down, which is very encouraging,” BCHD Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Tom Ryan said Jan. 28. “We are going to stress that even as vaccines are becoming more available and as even more and more people are getting vaccinated, people (should) continue to do social distancing, hand washing, cover their face. I really feel like we are starting to turn a corner. It’s a wide turn. It’s a slow turn. “But I feel seeing the numbers we are, the dips we are seeing, are really encouraging, and I hope we continue to see that downward trend.” In addition, the county’s reported positivity rate also declined. The BCHD reported the county’s positivity rate dipped from 16.9 percent the week of Jan. 2 to Jan. 8 to 10.7 percent the week of Jan. 9 to Jan. 15. In total, 5,751 Boone County residents have tested positive for COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, according to the BCHD. To date, 63 COVID-19 deaths have been reported. On Jan. 27, the Indiana Dept. of Health gave Boone County an orange designation on its color-coded coronavirus advisory map, indicating the second highest level of community spread. Previously, the county was given a red designation based on its number of cases per 100,000 residents and seven-day positivity rate.

Company member’s video skills beneficial to Indianapolis Ballet gala livestream By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Chris Lingner’s skill as a videographer has been a huge addition to the Indianapolis Ballet in the past several months. “I do a lot of videographer work, and this last year DANCE it’s been quite necessary,” said Lingner, a founding company member of Indianapolis Ballet. “Most arts organizations are converting over to livestreams (amid the COVID-19 pandemic).” The Fishers resident’s video skills work will be on display on the livestream of “Ballet & Cabernet,” the Indianapolis Ballet’s annual fundraiser, at 8 p.m. Feb. 6. The livestream will feature WRTV reporter Rafael Sanchez as host at The Cabaret theater in Indianapolis. Fans of the ballet can register with no charge at indyballet.org/gala. The one-hour livestream will feature performances by company dancers and special messages from world-renowned prima ballerina Misty Copeland, New York City Ballet dancers Megan Fairchild and Georgina Pazcoguin, Broadway star Jackie Hoffman and IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe. The show will feature a singing duet by Kristina Love, star of “Tina Turner the Musical,” and Lingner’s brother, Cory Lingner, a Broadway performer. The siblings grew up in Indianapolis and graduated from Carmel-based University High School. “Cory is helping me edit, so it’s kind of a family affair,” Lingner said. “I’ll be performing on one piece that was recorded. During the actual broadcast, I will be directing at The Cabaret. We already taped some of the performances at The Toby stage at Newfields. Some of it will be live. It’s a different experience going all virtual, especially for a field like ours.” Daniel’s Vineyard has donated customized-labeled bottles of wine for the gala. Lingner said the goal of the fundraiser is to keep the company going. “Thanks to the generosity of a lot of foundations, particularly Clowes and Lilly’s stepped up across the board, not just for us,” Lingner said. “Because of how things have gone, ticket sales have been significantly hampered and understandably. We have to make our ends meet to keep dancing.” Indianapolis Ballet’s performance of “Nutcracker Sweets” also was presented as a livestream. Originally, a crowd of 25 percent capacity was to be permitted, but the guidelines changed two days before the scheduled performance in December 2020. “We had to switch gears and did an actual ‘live’ livestream for that performance,” Lingner said. Following the gala, Indianapolis Ballet, which started perfoming in 2017, will present a virtual performance of “Love Springs Eternal,” which will start Feb. 20 and run through the end of the month.

Actors Theatre of Indiana “Alabama Story,” a 2019 production of Actors Theatre of Indiana at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, will be available for streaming purchase through Feb. 14. Cost is $35. For more, visit atistage.org. Performing Arts Connect The Center for the Performing Arts series features “Story of a Composer: George Gershwin” in a Zoom teleconference at 7 p.m. Feb. 2. The presentation will be by the Manhattan School of Music. Cost is $12. To register, visit thecenterpresents.org. Live at the Center Pavel and Direct Contact will perform a free livestream concert at 8 p.m. Feb. 6 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. It is part of the “Live at the Center” series and features Dominican pianist Pavel Polanco-Safadit. To register, visit thecenterpresents.org.

“We’ll be filming Feb. 18 and 19 since we have a multiple cast of dancers,” Lingner said. “There will be different fan groups of dancers. Then it will be on demand after that.” Lingner said he was already doing a lot of videography for Dance Kaleidoscope and Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre. “Thankfully, a lot of these skills have been available to the organization, so we can still execute our craft,” Lingner said. “(Dancing is) a short-lived career, and it’s hard to be off for that amount of time and still come back strong. We’re thankful we’ve all been safe, and our protocols have all worked out well. Even the school has been working out well. We’ve always been cautious, doing whatever is deemed safe for everyone. We’re thankful to be performing and providing this to the community.” “Love Springs Eternal” will feature a brief performance by students from the Indianapolis Ballet school. “It’s just to give the kids another performance opportunity,” Lingner said. “They’ve also been limited by that and they need to keep getting that experience. There are a few roles (for students) in ‘The Firebird,’ which is the signature ballet of the evening that will feature some children.” Indianapolis Ballet started as a school but grew to the point it could support a company, Lingner said. For more on the gala or “Love Springs Eternal,” visit indyballet. org.

Magic Thread Cabaret to livestream of ‘La La Love’ editorial@youarecurrent.com After a year of show cancellations and darkened theaters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Magic Thread Cabaret will present to a pair of homegrown artists for a special virtual show to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Sixth-grader performs in virtual streaming shows By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Poke Guru

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 906 Carrollton Ave., Indianapolis  What to get: The Original Price: $9.95 Anna’s take: The Garage Indy opened in the downtown Indianapolis Bottleworks development Jan. 5, and it’s already very popular. Like a luxury cafeteria, The Garage houses multiple restaurants (not all are open yet), similar to the Fishers District Test Kitchen, but with more options. I tried Poke Guru, which also has a location at Indianapolis City Market. Poke is a Hawaiian dish that features raw fish served over rice with vegetables and sauces, sort of like a sushi bowl. I tried four bowls, all priced at $9.95. I tried The Original, which is the most popular bowl. It features marinated tuna over sushi rice with edamame, avocado, seaweed, cucumber and a drizzle of spicy mayo and unagi, topped with pickled red onion. The Ginger Scallion features your choice of salmon

or tuna, fresh ginger, green onion, seaweed, carrot, avocado, pickled cucumber and soy sauce. The Sichuan Salmon features salmon tossed in a Sichuan sauce, house-made chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, edamame, pineapple, pickled daikon, avocado, crispy onion and nori strips. The Kalbi is truly unique with short rib in a Korean marinade, edamame, seaweed, avocado, pickled Asian pear, pickled mustard seeds and crispy onion.

Behind bars: Raspberry Rosemary Cosmo Get it at Ruth’s Chris, Indianapolis Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Absolut Raspberry Vodka, .75 oz. Cointreau, .5 oz. fresh lime juice, .5 oz. cranberry juice, .5 oz. simple syrup, 1 rosemary sprig, 4 raspberries Directions: Muddle rosemary, raspberries and simple syrup. Build with the other ingredients. Shake and double strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with 2 raspberries on a rosemary sprig.

Scenes from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Remembering President Reagan Commentary by Don Knebel The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, Calif., contains millions of items related to the TRAVEL life of Reagan and his service as governor of California and president of the United States. The most popular item on display required a more than 50 percent increase in the facility’s size. The Reagan Library and Museum sits on a 100-acre hilltop about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, providing a view of the Pacific Ocean. When it opened in 1991, the building’s 3 1//2 acres of interior space made it the largest presidential library. Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush 41 attended the dedication, the first time in history five U.S. presidents had all been together. The Reagan Library and Museum lost its title as the largest when President Clinton’s library opened in 2004. It regained the title in 2005 with the opening of a 90,000-squarefoot addition to hold the airplane that served as Air Force One for Reagan and six other presidents until it was taken out of service

in 2001. The Boeing 707 was disassembled and transported to its new home, where it was reassembled inside. Visitors to the facility are greeted by life-size statues of President Reagan and Mrs. Reagan. They can then watch one of three holograms of an actor portraying Reagan, accompanied by his words. Visitors can then see a full-size replica of the Oval Office, exactly as it was during Reagan’s term as president, including the famous jar of “Jelly Belly” beans and a reproduction of the Resolute Desk to which Reagan added a 2-inch base to accommodate his height. After a tour of Air Force One, as it was during Reagan’s term, visitors can walk along a recreated White House Rose Garden and end their visit at the burial site of Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

Capitalize on this Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’m astonished at how often the world of grammar intersects the headlines. Since the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, I’ve seen and heard people GRAMMAR GUY confused by both the spelling and the capitalization (seriously, no pun intended) of the word. Let’s dive in. The words “capital” and “capitol” have unique origins. In fact, “capital” comes from the Latin word “capitalis,” which means “head,” as well as “capitale,” which means “wealth.” Here we see why “capital” can mean “money” as well as “the state seat of government.” We also get the meaning of “capital letters” from the Latin word meaning “head.” This makes sense because capital letters stand at the “head” of a word. When it comes to “capitol,” we get this word from the Temple of Jupiter Capitolium, otherwise known as the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, located on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. The temple was a significant center of Roman religion and culture and was dedicated in the year 509 B.C, the same year the Romans overthrew the Etruscan monarchy, establishing a new republican system of government. It is assumed that Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., was named after the Capitoline Hill. When should we capitalize capitol? When referring to the building in D.C., write “Capitol.” According to The AP Stylebook, you should also refer to the buildings where state governments meet: The students toured the Oklahoma Capitol during their class field trip. These are proper nouns, so they receive the capital letter treatment. So, if the buildings, as well as the head of our nation’s government, are “capitols,” what is a “capital”? A state’s capital is the city where the state conducts its government business. The term “capital” refers to the city, while “capitol” refers to the building where the government meets. While some stylebooks do not capitalize the “c” in state capitols (the buildings), The AP and New York Times dictate that these important buildings get the capital Capitol treatment.
