Take Heart fundraiser has special meaning for Zionsville woman

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Monisha Mitchell’s fundraising mission is truly heartfelt.

Mitchell, 50, was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect in 2019.

“I was symptomatic since I was 15 and I wasn’t diagnosed until I was in my late 40s,” Mitchell said. “So, the opportunity for me to have surgery is gone. I have medication that keeps my heart rate down but there is no a cure. I definitely want to raise awareness because had this condition been found earlier, I could have had surgery that could have fixed it. Now, it’s really trying to thwart off the worst. My coronary artery is in the wrong place and beats too fast or too hard. The risk is sudden heart death.”

The Take Heart 2023 benefit concert is set for 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 10 at COhatch, 75 N. Main St., Zionsville. The concert features the Janeways, a Zionsville group of women. North High Brewing will provide beverages. Mitchell said the goal is to raise $10,000.

Mitchell, who has a mental health therapy practice at CoHatch, has lived in Zionsville for six years.

Mitchell held her first fundraiser in 2021.

“Everything for the event is being donated, so all of the proceeds go to the American Heart Association and the Adult Congenital Heart Association,” she said.

Mitchell is an American Heart Association Women of Impact nominee.

“That program is about bringing awareness, particularly to women, because so much of the time we don’t respond to the symptoms,” Mitchell said. “Often, women are misdiagnosed. In my 20s, they thought it was anxiety. Then I became a therapist and it’s not anxiety. I know because that’s my area of expertise. They thought it was a lot of different things because that’s the medical system. It’s helping women understand to listen to their bodies, advocate for the health and prioritize themselves, so that’s a

big part of the campaign as well.

“The fundraising benefits everybody that could potentially have a heart condition.”

Mitchell said her condition is very rare and her specialist is at the Mayo Clinic.

The American Heart Association does research and supports programs for people for everything from strokes to heart attacks, Mitchell said.

Mitchell said she plans to continue to conduct the fundraiser every two years.

“It’s challenging to have my focus be on this issue for a long period of time because my condition won’t ever be resolved,” Mitchell said. “I want to talk about it, bring awareness and share my story. I also have to be mindful of not having too much of my life focused on that for too long.”

Mitchell, who grew up on the north side of Indianapolis, has a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice from Indiana University and a graduate certificate in public man-

agement from the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs. She also has a master’s degree in social work and obtained a clinical license in social work.

Mitchell specializes in trauma and mood disorders. She also serves as a consultant in diversity, equity and inclusion. She said she founded her company to heal wounds left by trauma, both individual and collective, including those caused by racist harm.

Mitchell serves on the Zionsville Police Dept. Use of Force Board. She also serves as an ambassador for the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce.

Mitchell has a 7-year-old son, Braxton, and two adult children, Tim, a 2018 Zionsville Community High School graduate, and Camryn, an Indianapolis resident.

The cost is $25 per person and includes one drink per ticket. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

The Town of Zionsville issued the following statement, which reads in part:

INVESTIGATION

The Town of Zionsville is disputing a claim by the owner of the firm that operates the ice-skating rink at Mulberry Fields Park that the town failed to make a payment for services.

According to a police report obtained by Current, the owner of Ice-America, Scott Williams, contacted the Zionsville Police Dept. on Jan. 23, claiming the town had failed to make payments.

Town officials, however, say the town made a $59,000 payment on Jan. 23 for an invoice received from Ice-America. The invoice, according to town officials, requested a change of payment method, via electronic transfer, to a bank in West Fargo, Minn.

The chain of events has led to a fraud investigation by the Indiana State Police.

Cindy Poore, deputy chief financial officer for the Town of Zionsville, could not immediately be reached for comment. Williams at Ice-America was not available for comment. ZPD Capt. Drake Sterling said the investigation is ongoing and has been turned over to the Indiana State Police.

“We’ve actually passed it off, as of Jan. 26, to State Police, only because we don’t want to investigate our own fraud,” Sterling

Nicholas Plopper, a Republican, recently announced his candidacy for the District 4 seat on the Zionsville Town Council in the May 2 primary election.

ELECTION

Plopper, a Hoosier native, moved to Zionsville from Carmel in 2020. While residing in Carmel, he served on the Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Board, where he was secretary and vice president.

A graduate of Indiana University, Plopper has a doctorate in law and is an attorney for Plopper & Partners, LLP, a boutique law firm in Zionsville.

Plopper said he has practiced law for 15 years and has experience across a broad spectrum of areas, including his time serving on the Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Board.

“I have relevant public service experience,

“The Town previously received an email from Scott Williams directing the Town to make payment via electronic transfer. The email originated from Mr. Williams’ official Ice America email account. The email also copied another Ice America employee. The Town had no reason to suspect any fraud with the email instructions coming from Mr. Williams’ Ice America email. When the Town was made aware of this, the Town offered to work with Ice America. The Town notified law enforcement and financial institutions and took diligent steps to address this matter. The Town believes it has fulfilled its obligations to Ice America.”

Jason Plunkett, president of the Zionsville Town Council, released a statement expressing the council’s disappointment about how it was alerted to the situation:

“This is the first time anyone on the town council is hearing about it. Our concern and frustration with the administration for the last three years have been around communication or lack of communication. We should not be hearing about this type of situation through a police report or a reporter. “

which I will bring to the town council,” Plopper said. “Those experiences will inform my leadership for the citizens of District 4 and Zionsville.”

Plopper said Zionsville’s fiscal improvement and managing the town’s growth responsibly are among his priorities.

“At this time in its history, Zionsville is specially situated to make important decisions affecting its future,” Plopper said. “A future I envision as one that properly plans for its growth while maintaining its sense of charm and community. This will require informed leadership and strong fiscal management and oversight.”

Plopper, 46, and his wife have four children, two boys and two girls. He is a coach for the Boys & Girls Club and the Zionsville Youth Soccer Association.

“I look forward to meeting many citizens in District 4 and Zionsville during my campaign,” he said.

Brad Burk, council vice president and incumbent in one of the two at-large seats, has amended his candidacy to run in District 5, his home district.

ELECTION

Republican candidate Liz Childers announced Jan. 27 she will run for an at-large seat on the Zionsville Town Council in the primary election

May 2.

Childers, a Zionsville resident for nine years, said she was looking for the appropriate opportunity to serve the Zionsville community. She is a Lugar Series graduate and works for Dauby, O’Connor, & Zaleski, LLC, an accounting firm, as director of marketing. The Lugar Series selects 20 Hoosier women to participate in political training to prepare Republican women for elected and appointed roles in government at the local, state and federal levels.

Childers said she is excited to bring a fresh perspective to the council and is eager for an opportunity to represent the community.

Childers

Burk said he wants to maintain the level of service District 5 incumbent Josh Garrett, who has decided not to seek a third term, has committed to the community for eight years.

“Although I’ve been honored to serve at-large, I’m equally excited about my home district and the opportunity to represent all those who live in District 5,” Burk said. “This switch provides an opportunity to support a strong female Republican candidate, which has been a priority of this council.”

Council President Jason Plunkett said Burk has proven to be a critical asset to the council, and the citizens of District 5 can look forward to strong, continued representation should he win the seat.

“We have an amazing community that needs strong, balanced leadership, which I plan to bring to the town council,” she said. “Representing the community I dearly care for would be an honor, and I hope to make my neighbors proud. I will work hard to

“I’m also very aware of the many strengths Liz Childers can and will bring to an increasingly diversified council. She will be an incredible candidate,” Plunkett said.

Childers and her husband, Grant, have three children who attend Zionsville schools.

Larsh, 43, comes to Zionsville after an 18-month stint as the Avon High School athletic director. He will split duties with Schellhase.

Both Avon and Zionsville are members of the Hoosier Crossroads Conference, an eight-team league formed in time for the start of the 2023 school year. The conference strives to present the best in academic, athletic and artistic programs for all stakeholders while focusing on the development of leadership skills and positive sportsmanship for all participants, according to the conference.

A self-described farm kid in his formative years, Larsh is a 1998 graduate of Clinton Prairie High School in Frankfort. He attended Purdue University, where he majored in social studies and education before graduating. His work career began with three years as a teacher at Benton Central High School.

Larsh then taught for seven years at Western High School near Kokomo before becoming the school’s athletic director for the following eight years. He took the same position at Avon in June of 2021.

Larsh said his move to Zionsville was the right place at the right time.

Recollections of bread and model planes

Commentary by Ward Degler

Someone must have been baking bread the other day. I got a brief whiff of that yeasty aroma while driving down the street, and it propelled me back to a time when I was 12 years old.

PLAIN TALK

Back then, I lived in a small town in central Missouri, and on a single summer day, the other guys and I could ride our bikes through every single street in town at least once. One of the stops we always made was at a tiny building at the end of Main Street. The sign on the door said, “Watch Repair — Oscar Holloman, Prop.”

Looking back, I’m sorry to say I didn’t get to know much about Oscar, but what I did know, what all of us guys knew, was this: He liked us.

We also knew he had gotten polio as a kid, leaving him with a lifelong prominent limp. He never married and lived with his mother.

His mother baked bread. Mrs. Holloman baked several dozen loaves of warm, yeasty homemade bread every Friday. On Saturday, her bread customers came by and picked up their loaves.

It took my mother six months of coaxing and pleading to get Mrs. Holloman to add us to her list of customers. I guess she wanted to make sure we were serious. But after that, our house was filled with that incredible smell.

Oscar’s workbench was in the rear of his shop. In the front was a large table filled with model airplane kits. Dozens of them, and all were priced at $2 or less. They were there for us guys.

During the summer, I spent most of my allowance on model airplanes from Oscar’s shop, and when school started in September, the table was still full. We figured out he reordered the model kits as fast as we bought them.

And as long as we lived there, his mother never stopped baking bread.

Lawrence North sophomore develops all-around basketball game

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Lawrence North High School sophomore Azavier Robinson has shown his versatility this basketball season.

“I think I’ve become more of an all-around player and being a leader,” said Robinson, who leads by example.

In this case, the stats don’t lie about Robinson’s all-around play.

As of Feb. 1, the 6-foot-1 Robinson was averaging 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.7 steals per game for the Wildcats (13-3).

“He’s had a tremendous sophomore year thus far,” Lawrence North coach Chris Giffin said. “He’s gotten a lot better in terms of picking his spots and understanding shot selection. He has a very uncanny instinct about him to always be around the ball, and he combines that with relentless pursuit. Right now, I would say 70 percent of his scoring has come from drives to the basket,

pull-up jumpers, post-ups, offensive rebound put-backs and free throws. The other 30 percent would be 3-pointers.

“He has good range. His shot selection on his 3-point shot is what needs to improve the most. He’s streaky.”

Robinson, who can play point guard and shooting guard, uses his quickness to his

advantage.

“Most of my points come on the inside because I feel I’m hard to stay in front of,” he said.

Giffin said Robinson has gone by the

nickname “Stink” since he was a baby.

Giffin said smaller NCAA Division I schools have been interested since his freshman year. He had an offer from IUPUI before his freshman year and recently received offers from Indiana State University and East Carolina University. Giffin said half of the Big Ten schools and some other major programs are showing interest.

Giffin, who had been Lawrence North girls basketball coach, replaced Jack Keefer, who retired after 46 years as coach after last season.

Robinson said the adjustment has been smooth.

“I want us to be able to make it out of sectional and possibly go to (the) state (finals),” Robinson said.

Basketball is the only sport Robinson has played.

“My dad, Augustus, also played basketball at Warren Central,” said Robinson, who plays AAU basketball for George Hill All Indy. “I had two older brothers (Avante and Augustus) who ended up playing for a private school (Irvington Preparatory Academy). They definitely helped me because I played with them.”

Traders

Traders Point Christian School recently launched a program to bring aviation training to the high school classroom, giving students an opportunity to earn a private pilot’s license.

In 2020, Traders Point — a private K-12 school in Whitestown — partnered with the LIFT Academy, a flight training school, and Republic Airways, a regional airline, to train students at the high school level to become pilots.

The school is redesigning its aviation classroom to make it more interactive and engaging for students with new graphic and environmental designs that give the appearance of looking out onto a runway from a student’s desk. The redesign is expected to be completed by Feb.15.

The classroom-to-cockpit experience is based on aerospace and aviation curriculum provided by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, a nonprofit that advocates for general aviation, according to the organization.

Traders Point student Tait Kester didn’t aspire to pursue a pilot’s license until learning about the course.

“I came to Traders Point not expecting this program at all, and it came up, and I was like, this is a perfect opportunity, and this is what I want to do,” Kester said.

Students use a flight simulator, take multiple discovery flights with certified flight instructors at LIFT and have a hands-on learning experience at the airport and hangar, learning how operations work on-site.

“The simulator is a great tool because we get to learn things in class and see the effects on the simulator,” Kester said.

Another TPCS student, Abigail Moore, said many of her friends are jealous she gets to be in the flight program.

“At least once a week, we will use the simulator to learn how to fly and take off,” she said.

According to James Borgaard, admissions and recruitment consultant for LIFT Academy, having a simulator in the classroom is one step that Republic Airways is taking to foster the next generation of pilots.

Point aviation program puts students on course for pilot’s license

uate from the program, they can apply directly to the LIFT Academy’s expedited program and apply for direct employment with Republic Airways as a commercial pilot.

TPCS’s aviation instructor, Brad Whitsitt, has been with TPCS for only a few weeks but said teaching aviation to students is rewarding.

“I joined the team at Traders Point because I have a love for aviation and a passion for young people who share that interest,” he said. “There’s nothing greater than seeing the face of a student light up when they sit in the cockpit of a plane for the first time.”

For some students, their first discovery flight is the first time they have flown.

Traders Point Christian School students Adrian Winston, Jackson Kirk, Justin Kirk, and Abigail Moore.

“There were some students that had never been in an aircraft before and had never flown before, so it was an amazing experience for them,” said Hadley Wilson, a former engineering and aviation instructor at TPCS.

Whether a student is interested in becoming a private pilot, a commercial pilot or an airline maintenance technician, the LIFT Academy program at TPCS offers students an accelerated pathway to a career in aviation.

“Students choose to enroll in the LIFT Academy program because it’s unlike any other program they’ve experienced, from the in-class simulator to on-site visits at the hangar to exploring the skies for the first time,” Gilbert said.

“The students are seeing the real action and activity going on in and around the hangar and getting in the feel of what it will be like being a LIFT student,” Borgaard said.

The aircraft that LIFT uses for students’ first discovery flight is a Diamond aircraft, a plane that combines the most advanced materials and technology, according to Borgaard.

“My favorite part of the discovery flight was when we took the hard 60-degree turns,” said Traders Point student Jackson Krik, who is in the aviation program.

Moore also enjoyed the discovery flight.

“Some people thought the turns would make me sick, but I enjoyed it,” Moore said.

Dawn Gilbert, director of constituents relations for Traders Point, said the aviation program at the school is available to all 9th12th grade students and is included in the cost of tuition.

Riverview Health officials said as president and CEO, Jewell will continue to advance the organization’s growth strategy. He will work closely with the hospital’s board of trustees and leadership team to further shape the future of healthcare in Hamilton County, officials said.

“We’re excited to welcome Keith to lead Riverview Health,” said Greg Murray, chairman of the Riverview Health Board of Trustees. “He brings a wealth of experience in healthcare and is committed to continuing the mission of providing high-quality care to our patients and our community.”

Jewell succeeds Seth Warren, who resigned from his role as president and CEO in December. The Riverview Health Board of Trustees has begun the search for a permanent replacement, officials said.

Two Sister City performance will feature Italian classical pianist Attesti

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Francesco Attesti is not only an internationally acclaimed classical pianist, but he also is the deputy mayor of Cortona, Italy.

CONCERTS

So, that gives two purposes for his visit to Carmel to appear at two Carmel/Cortona Sister City Fellowship events.

“This is important to my city of Cortona to extend our friendship with the City of Carmel because I think we can explore business activities and cultural activities,” Attesti said. “We hope to start a good collaboration and a lot of exchanges in our businesses in Carmel and in Cortona.”

The events are presented by the Rotary Club of Carmel for the Sister City Fellowship. Cortona became a Sister City in 2022.

The Feb. 19 event will feature Attesti with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra at 7 p.m. at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Attesti will appear at a celebration fundraiser Feb. 17 with the AB&C Trio, which includes double bass player Maurizio Bozzi and percussionist and drummer Maicol Cucchi.

“It’s to present classical music in a jazz-progressive style,” Attesti said.

Attesti said the trio performs pieces by Wolfgang Mozart and Johann Sebastian Bach.

“We find a new way of expression, but we don’t go too far from the principal idea,” Attesti said of the jazz style.

The Feb. 17 event at Feinstein’s Cabaret at Hotel Carmichael begins with a blacktie, Cortona-inspired dinner, followed by the 7 p.m. concert.

The Palladium concert includes compositions by Gioachino Rossini, Aaron Copland and Edvard Grieg.

“It is full of Nordic and Scandinavian music,” Attesti said. “There are a lot of popular tunes blended together. It’s very beautiful.”

There is a “Elegantly Italian” VIP dessert

reception at 8:30 p.m., featuring Italian-inspired desserts, coffees and liqueurs in the Cole Porter Ballroom at Hotel Carmichael.

This will be Attesti’s first appearance in the Indianapolis area.

Prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, Attesti said he visited the U.S. three or four times per year to perform since 2000. He finally was able to return to visit Florida for a series of concerts in June 2022.

“I’ve performed in most of the states, especially the East Coast and West Coast, and the Midwest with Detroit, Chicago and many other cities,” Attesti said. “This will be our first step. I am pleased to know better and deeper your city, the people and the business that is going on there. I can’t wait to be there.”

Attesti occasionally performs with an organist.

“That was quite common in the 19th century to have a pianist and organist

together,” he said.

The 47-year-old Attesti, who was born in Cortona, has lived in various cities and nations, including London, Paris and Germany.

“I speak several languages and I have an international career because most of my contacts are abroad,” he said.

Attesti moved back to Cortona in 2009 and got involved with the government because a close friend asked for his help. He became deputy mayor in June 2019.

“We have a bunch of different (political) parties,” he said. “We didn’t want to be linked to any of those and we created our list with the key people of the community. Each person has a duty. My duty is to take care of cultural events and tourism.”

Attesti’s most recent album is “Deeply Mozart.” He specializes in Romantic and early 20th Century repertoire.

‘Love is in the Air’ at IBC

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s fundraising showcase will provide several challenges in a few areas.

BALLET

“This year is very challenging as we have decided to work with the younger students, incorporating them into the ensembles such as our ‘Oompa Loompa,’ a contemporary piece which features dancers from age 7 to 16, and also our classical waltz piece from ‘Fairy Doll,’ which features dancers aged 9 to 17,” said Alyona Yakovleva, IBC founding artistic director. “In particular, the classical waltz is challenging for these dancers as it requires a high level of ballet technique.”

“Love is in the Air” will be presented Feb. 11 and 18 at Studio One at Indiana Ballet Conservatory, 849 Carmel Dr., Carmel. The event starts at 7 p.m. with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by the performance at 8 p.m.

“This performance not only is a chance to perform many different pieces showing multiple sides of a dancer, but there is also something fun about transforming where

we dance and practice every day into a place to showcase it to an audience,” said Aurora Ausserer, a 17-year-old Indianapolis performer. “The choreography in this show is incredible because it is put on us specifically by our teachers, and because of that, each dance is different, pulling a different emotion out of the audience.”

Ausserer said the challenge she is facing is being comfortable with the choreography. “We are debuting a handful of pieces at this show, and I want the audience to feel what we are feeling and enjoy them,” Ausserer said.

CCPL hosts ATI Theatre Lab Series

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Don Farrell and Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation director Elizabeth Hamilton have been friends for many years.

However, it was ATI board member Jill Zaniker who promoted the idea of a partnership between the two groups. In discussing how to grow the ATI Theatre Lab Series, Zaniker had the idea how the expansion of the series might fit into the programs at the newly expanded library. Plays chosen for the series are workshopped, discussed and developed through rehearsals with a professional cast, director and a music director in the case of new musicals. The play or musical receives a public reading with a moderated discussion with the cast and creatives immediately following the reading.

“Actors Theatre of Indiana deeply values strong community partnerships and advancing theatrical development opportunities,” Farrell said. “As our professional theater company continues to evolve and be more inclusive, innovative and reflective

of our community, the expansion of our programming remains a high priority so we can continue to develop and support the voices of present and future playwrights, composers and lyricists.”

The events will be held for free at CCPL instead of at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts.

“The Theatre Lab Series program was never designed to be revenue driven,” Farrell said. “At first, we had offered the program as a free event, but then realized people were not attending unless they felt like they had something invested. That’s why we changed it to $10 a ticket.”

There are two remaining readings in the 2022-23 season. First is “Belinda: An April Folly” at 2 p.m. March 25. The musical is by A. A. Milne, with adaptation and lyrics by Alisa Hauser and music by David Mallamud. For tickets, visit bit.ly/3YgkxSC.

The final show will be “Rosemary & Time,” which is set for 2 p.m. May 20. Free tickets can be obtained by visiting bit.ly/40pJiO8.

The readings will be held in a large community room, which seats nearly 300 people.

Actor steps into ‘Footloose’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Ian Cruz’s mother always encouraged him to be a well-rounded person.

“So, even though I was adept with math and the sciences, I’ve always hung out with my theater and bohemian friends and learned so much from them as it pertains to performing on stage,” Cruz said.

“When we moved to the Indy (area) 20plus years ago, I put it as a bucket list item to be able to work on stage with all the major equity theaters in town,” Cruz said.

“I was able to work at the Phoenix in 2007, but not until last year was I also able to work with (Indiana Repertory Theatre) and (Actors Theatre of Indiana). And now to start the new year, I’m thrilled to have been given the chance to work on stage at B&B.”

The 50-year-old Carmel resident will appear as Principal Clark in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of “Footloose” from Feb. 9 to March 26 at the Indianapolis venue. It will be his second performance in a production of “Footloose.” He appeared as Coach Dunbar at Footlite Musicals in 2006.

“The role of Principal Clark is actually smaller than Coach Dunbar and his character is very strait-laced and serious,” Cruz said. “The challenge would be to not move my hips with all the great music playing during the course of the show, ha-ha.”

This is Cruz’s first time performing at Beef & Boards.

Cruz

Cruz saw “Footloose” when the movie came out in 1984.

“It had such a fun soundtrack, which I used to listen to on a cassette tape over and over,” Cruz said. “It translates well from film to stage, not only because of the music, but it also stayed true to the original story of an outsider who struggled fitting in with a community, who made dancing illegal, but was able to change things by the end of the movie, with a little help from his friends.”

Cruz moved to the Indianapolis area from Philippines in 2000. He and his wife, Nathalie, have three children, Zach, Jose and Lupe. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

GHDT stages ‘New

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Gregory Hancock had plenty of time to create during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

MUSICAL PERFORMANCES

Hancock, executive artistic director of the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, will feature that work in “New World Dances” Feb. 11-26 at The Florence at the Academy of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre in Carmel. There are six weekend performances.

“The collection of dances in this program were all created during the pandemic and were presented in nonconventional ways in the theater, virtually, and on film, so most have never been performed live for audiences,” Hancock said. “During the pandemic, I created a large amount of new work and experienced a great deal of creativity. When we returned to work with masks and social distancing for some time, I talked to the dancers about what they were feeling and experiencing during this unusual time. I wanted the dances to have personal connections and reflect our collective fears and

Hancock said dancers expressed a range of emotions.

“Our feelings and emotions were across the board with much diversity,” he said. “At times, we were scared, confused, nervous, depressed and withdrawn. And at other times, we were encouraged, empowered and hopeful. I feel the variety of dances, and the personal emotions imbued into them in ’New World Dances,’ represent all of this.”

The production is the first full program at The Florence, which is named for Hancock’s late mother, Florence Marie Hancock.

‘Women Talking’: A powerful film

Commentary by Julieanna Childs

Plenty of movies confront the subject of abuse. Occasionally, one of them gets it right. A talented director and a masterful screenplay can illustrate sexual assault without actually showing it. “Women Talking” is an example of this approach, effectively highlighting the aftermath of sexual violence through flashbacks and performance rather than the typical gratuitous assault scenes, a method we’ve accepted too readily as “entertainment.”

MOVIE REVIEW

“Woman Talking” is based on the 2018 novel by Miriam Toews about the horrifying actual events in Bolivia from 2005-09, where 150 women and girls were drugged and raped by men in a secluded Mennonite community. Eventually, the elders found out the attacks were happening, reported the crimes, and the eight men were tried and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Toews, who grew up in a Mennonite society, tells the events through fictionalized conversations of women using nothing more than their voices and imagination to initiate their freedom.

The film centers on an agrarian religious

community where the animals are safer in their homes than the women and children. Only the boys are allowed to attend school and the women do not read or write. After another violent attack, the women secretly gather in a barn to vote on their options: Stay and do nothing; stay and fight; or leave the community. These women don’t seek sympathy or retribution. They just want a safer world to raise their children and reestablish their beliefs on a moral basis.

The film’s director and writer, Sarah Polley, who will undoubtedly earn an Oscar nomination, gracefully trusts the actors in this conversation-forward film as they engage in sophisticated debates. Polley fends for the character’s religious life, never trivializing the women’s faith and principles.

With solidarity and conviction, “Woman Talking” reawakens our stories’ power and the universal idea of freedom.

Discerning ‘good advice’

Commentary by Terry Anker

We’re all looking for a little good advice. What’s the right way to lose those extra pounds packed on from too much holiday candy? How worried should we be about the war in Europe? Will we ever be able to retire since the stock market cannot seem to stop falling? These are all tough issues. Each one has come to us, in some form, over the journey of a lifetime. As with many complications, more questions simply beg more answers. We spin around like a dog chasing its tail.

that know-how only exists somewhere over the rainbow. Still, we don’t want to limit our knowledge base to those living next door.

ESSAY

So, how do we break the circle? If we seek insight, if we hope to boost our understanding through the learning and experience of others, where do we go to find our experts? Advice, it seems, is only as good as the mouth from which it flows. We might ask those around us, whom we respect, for their thoughts. Do we restrict ourselves to those we know personally? Who are the national experts? Aren’t they superior? Some people call it the 50-mile rule, this fiction

We might ask the internet how it would manage the problem. The people and institutions we know and believe should be our guides, but our confidence in them has never been lower. We reflect on our own experience, hoping to discover that we are savants and don’t require advice at all. Whatever our approach, we hope to garner the best, most sage guidance.

Among the good human wisdom to be found in Proverbs is, “Without counsel, purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors, they are established.” In a multiplicity of perspectives, we must come to rely on ourselves to discern.

Just another manic Friday

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Do you ever have days when you’re fairly certain the universe is messing with you? When a series of small annoyances has you contemplating a noon bottle of Scotch? That’s what a recent Friday felt like for me. Please enjoy at my expense!

what? With my blood caffeine and irritability levels off the charts, I decided to stay put and grade poorly written essays. Blech.

HUMOR

It all started when I foolishly agreed to join our youngest at a 5 a.m. Eat the Frog workout. This coached fitness session held in a mysteriously green-lit space where your heart rate is displayed for everyone to judge. Naturally, I did not sleep well the night before, knowing I’d have to get up at 4:30, avoid a public cardiac event for 60 minutes, and then be in my classroom by 6:30, showered and pretty.

So, I was grumpy and nauseous while I tried not to embarrass myself on the TRX bands and feeling only slightly better when I got to work and finally checked my text messages. “Two Hour Delay!” What the

Next up, tech issues with my karaoke setup. Dead batteries in one mic, a broken wire in another, and a completely MIA third mic. How was I supposed to make students feel awkward with my subpar singing? Then I forgot a meeting with admin and had to eat leftovers without a fork. By the time I got home, I just wanted to binge Captain Crunch and “Grey’s Anatomy.” Of course, the internet was down.

I called it at 7 p.m., grateful to end this Friday with an early bedtime and a middle finger to the universe. Peace out.

Meds list — don’t leave home without it

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I’ll be honest. I don’t like to travel. I like being there; I don’t like getting there. In one airport, I made the huge mistake of buying a magazine containing an article called, “Your Feel-Good Vacation,” which detailed all the potential woes of reaching your destination. Here were a few:

HUMOR

• Traveler’s diarrhea: Apparently, 7 out of 10 vacationers experience this, which is

why aisle seats on a plane are requested more than window seats, especially on overseas flights. One infectious disease specialist says, “Many people are de-railed by this problem.” My guess is that even more have been de-planed and de-boated. But maybe it happens on trains, too. This doctor suggests taking a drug called bismuth subsalicylate with you on the trip. In an emergency, just say Pepto Bismol to the druggist in a foreign country. You might not have a

great deal of time to mess with pronunciation. The doctor also suggests you do not drink tap water or eat local fruits and veggies that may be contaminated, but he obviously did not read the warning in the next paragraph.

• Constipation: This is a different doctor (I know, medicine is so specialized). He says that 4 out of 10 people suffer from this on a trip. Hold on! If 7 out of 10 people have the first problem and 4 out of 10 have the second problem, that means one person has both problems. Or does that mean he doesn’t have any problem? It does mean that 4 out of 10 people do not need an aisle seat. This guy also suggests eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Do these doctors ever talk to each other?

• Blood clots: Here’s another cheery paragraph in the article. It begins by telling readers who travel by plane to stand often and stretch — so always take an aisle seat. Sadly, most of those seats are taken by people who have you-know-what. If you end up in the middle seat, you should be OK, since the guy on the aisle won’t be there much of

the time. Are you following this?

• Motion sickness: Once again, an aisle seat is recommended. But if travelling by car, sit by a window. If you drank heavily in college, you already know this.

Finally, the article includes a photo of how your travel meds will appear if you pack them neatly into a designer bag that they are offering for $39.95. There’s Miralax, Ricola, Dramamine, Lomotil, Benadryl and Metamucil, to name a few. The magazine warns you not to buy these in a foreign country, because they may be counterfeit, but if you have been buying health and beauty products from a dollar store your whole life, you have probably built up a pretty good tolerance.

POLICIES

Letters to the editor: Current Publishing will consider verifiable letters of up to 150 words. Letters must be thoroughly vetted prior to submission. Current retains the right to reject or return any letter it deems to carry unsubstantiated content. Current also retains the right to edit letters, but not their intent. Send letters to info@youarecurrent. com. Writers must include a hometown and a daytime phone number for verification.

Guest columns: The policy for guest columns is the same as the aforementioned, but the allowable length is 240 words. Guest columns should address the whole of Current’s readership, not simply specialinterest groups, and may not in any way contain a commercial message.

Here’s another cheery paragraph in the article. It begins by telling readers who travel by plane to stand often and stretch — so always take an aisle seat. Sadly, most of those seats are taken by people who have you-know-what.

Blueprint for Improvement: Contemporary Indy Kitchen

Commentary by Larry Greene

From dark and dated to stylish and sleek, the kitchen in this Normandy Farms subdivision home hadn’t been updated since being built in 1989. The new owners wanted a more open space to amp up the room’s functionality and improve the overall aesthetic.

THE BLUEPRINT

• Bright white custom cabinets add light to the space, while indigo shades on the island and backsplash provide a touch of depth and modern style.

• A wall dividing the kitchen and dining room was removed, opening the space and improving the room’s flow and function.

• The original bar-height island that interrupted the line of sight was replaced with a counter-height island, making entertaining and serving a breeze.

• Honey bronze finishes and wood shelving bring warmth and classic style with a pristine modern touch.

Making better grammar worse?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

We hear this one all the time: “I feel badly because Randolph lost his job at the pro shop.” In an effort to have better grammar, we can often make it worse. So, let’s figure out why the correct phrase in the above instance should be “I feel bad.”

GRAMMAR GUY

The key here is knowing the difference between action verbs and linking verbs. It seems rather obvious how to identify an action verb: It does something active. Active verbs like gobble, decide, shimmy, impeach and frolic tell us the action being performed in a sentence. Linking verbs, on the other hand, connect the subject of a sentence to information about that subject. Linking verbs do not describe an action. Therefore, use adverbs to describe action verbs and adjectives to describe linking verbs.

Sensory-related verbs like feel, look, smell, taste and sound can either be used as linking verbs or active verbs, depending on the context of the sentence. Kind of confusing if you ask me.

In our example where poor Randy got the heave-ho from the pro shop, “feel” is used as a linking verb. “I feel bad” describes the state of my emotions because Randolph was let go. The only way “I feel badly” is correct is if, after being fired, Randolph got in his souped-up golf cart, put the pedal to the metal and — in an act of blind rage — he ran over all 10 of my fingers as I carefully attempted to replace one of my several divots, rendering my sense of touch useless. In this case, “I feel badly because Randolph lost his job at the pro shop,” would be correct. With sensory verbs, it’s important to identify whether the verb is an active verb or a linking verb. The way I always remember this takes me back to my tremendous AP English teacher, Dr. Ballard, who used this example: “Only Captain Hook feels badly.” Get it? Because he has a hook for a hand.

Visiting the ruins of Megiddo

Commentary by Don Knebel

In our continuing trip through Israel and the Palestinian Territories, we visit the excavated ruins of Megiddo, above the Jezreel Valley about 15 miles southwest of Nazareth in Israel.

TRAVEL

The Jezreel Valley, an inland valley south of the Sea of Galilee, has been part of an important trade route between Egypt and the empires of southwest Asia for thousands of years. The Romans called it the “way of the sea.” Empires trying to control intercontinental trade have fought at least 34 battles in the Jezreel Valley, the first one in the 15th century B.C., when Pharaoh Thutmose III fought the King of Kadesh.

Since about 7,000 B.C., Megiddo has controlled access to the Jezreel Valley. The Bible reports that King Solomon fortified Megiddo, along with the cities of Gezer and Hazor. Excavations at Megiddo have uncovered a 10th-century B.C. chambered gate very similar to those found at Hazor and Gezer, lending support to that account. Archaeologists, digging through 26 layers of ruins, have also found evidence of administrative buildings and storehouses from the time of Solomon and a concealed tunnel built in the ninth century B.C. that gave Megiddo residents access to their water supply during sieges. Megiddo was permanently abandoned after 586 B.C. when the Babylonians captured Jerusalem.

The Book of Revelation reports that unnamed kings will be gathered together at “Armageddon” before the return of Jesus, presumably to prepare for battle. The word Armageddon is a transliteration of the Hebrew “har megiddo,” or “mountain of Megiddo,” an apparent reference to the

large tell that eventually formed over the abandoned Megiddo ruins. Relying on this passage, Christians since the first century have predicted one final battle between good and evil in the Jezreel Valley, almost always involving the most hated regimes of their eras, from the Romans to ISIS. The wait continues.
