Reassigned ZMS SRO, supporters seek answers By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com A Zionsville Police Dept. officer said through his attorney that he is still seeking an explanation for why he PROTEST was reassigned in March from his role at Zionsville Middle School to the road patrol unit. The ZPD reassigned Officer James Stiles from his role as a school resource officer, but details of what led to the move are not being shared publicly, despite requests for answers from Stiles’ supporters. The ZPD, Zionsville Community Schools and Town of Zionsville officials have declined to elaborate, calling it an “employee matter.” Stiles’ attorney Mike Einterz said the reason for Stiles’ reassignment is still unknown to his client. “There was no explanation given to him,” Einterz said. “He was simply assigned.” Stiles did not respond to a request for comment. The ZPD hired Stiles in March 2019. In August 2020, he was assigned as an SRO

at Zionsville Middle School. On March 19, he was “assigned to work in the road patrol unit,” Zionsville Deputy Mayor Julie JohnsCole stated in an email, adding that she was unable to comment further on any “confidential internal employment matters.” Supporters of Stiles have organized multiple rallies, including a March 22 event outside Zionsville Middle School, to protest his reassignment. His supporters claim he
was reassigned after quelling a disturbance between two students. After March 19, the ZPD used multiple officers to serve as temporary resource officers. On April 26, ZPD Sgt. Elizabeth Frost was appointed as the school’s full-time resource officer. ZPD declined to confirm whether an investigation of Stiles or his actions has occurred.
ZCS resumes regular schedule for next school year By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Community Schools Board of Trustees voted to reestablish the district’s regular schedule PANDEMIC beginning in August, assuming COVID-19 guidance from local health officials allows it. The district has adopted multiple schedules since returning to some in-person classes, including most recently a four-day, in-person block schedule. For the 2021-22 academic year, ZCS officials expect students to return to pre-pandemic five-day, in-person schedules. Zionsville Community High School and both middle schools will revert to their seven-period schedules for most of the week, ZCS officials said. In addition, school start times will return
to pre-pandemic schedules. Currently, high school and middle school classes begin at 9 a.m. ZCS Supt. Scott Robison said high school classes will resume at 8:30 a.m. in August, and middle school students will begin school days at 8:45 a.m. Elementary times will remain the same. Middle school e-days for professional development also will continue, as will e-days for inclement weather and school cancellations. Robison said the district’s move to the five-day, in-person schedule is predicated on a favorable recommendation from the Boone County Health Dept. before the 202122 school year starts. “We are excited to be returning,” ZCHS Principal Tim East said. “We think we are at our best when we are face-to-face. And having everybody on campus five days a week will allow us to provide them the next level
of service, particularly in their social and emotional needs. Proximity means so much in building relationships with teachers and students for that class cohesiveness that comes with that.” ZCHS will adopt a new, modified block schedule on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On Wednesdays, one block period will be a mentor-access period where students can more easily ask questions of teachers and seek assistance outside of academic block periods. Prior to the pandemic, the school planned to introduce the schedule, which East said will allow students to connect with teachers “on a personal, social/emotional level.” Feedback from high school students revealed they preferred the modified block schedule to be on Tuesday and Wednesday, rather than Wednesday and Thursday, East said.

Weathering a happy Mother’s Day Commentary by Ward Degler If it had been a baseball game, a soccer match or maybe an outdoor concert, it probably would have been PLAIN TALK canceled. After all, nobody ventures out in driving rain, 20 mph wind and face-numbing 40-degree temperatures just for fun. Unless you are part of my wife’s family, and it’s Mother’s Day, “Oh, shucks, it’s raining,” was probably the strongest complaint heard from anyone on Sunday, followed by, “Where’s my umbrella?” On arrival, I could tell it was the driveway by the herd of parked cars. But it could have been a river. I parked in the shallowest place I could find and looked for dry spots to walk on. From the garage came the sound of music and laughter. Inside, folks stood around with wet feet, damp hair and the kind of smiles that let you know they were just plain happy to be there. The dining room table was piled so high with food that it looked like an Army mess hall. My wife’s family is large. Actually, that’s an understatement. We’ve been married for 40 years, and I still haven’t learned everybody’s name. It doesn’t matter, though, because they all seem to know me. Within minutes of arriving at any family function, someone shoves a plate of food in my face, and I’m content. Mother’s Day was literally a moveable feast. Folks balancing plates of food migrated slowly from room to room and chatted with whomever they bumped into. There was
talk of the weather, of course, and work, kids, relatives and some speculation about who will walk away with the pennant this baseball season. I said I didn’t care who won because I’d spent 50 years of fruitless cheering for the Cubbies, who finally shocked the universe by winning the Word Series. I never need to see another baseball game. In addition to saluting all the mothers in the tribe, we also lit candles on a cake and sang our usual off-key but enthusiastic rendition of “Happy Birthday” for all the May birthday celebrants in the family. Fact is, weather has never been a deterrent for any family function. We’ve had Christmas in snowstorms, Thanksgiving in gales and outdoor Easter egg hunts in monsoons. Late in the day, there was a lull in the rain, and folks started heading for home. Everybody gathered gifts and cards, accepted a container of food to take home and said their goodbyes. All of my wife’s family events are special, but this year more than ever. Celebrations have been fewer during the past months and the hunger for hugs and face-to-face conversation has grown to epic levels. Which probably explains why everybody left with bigger smiles than they had when they arrived. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife. He is the author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.” Contact him at ward.degler@ gmail.com.

Ascension announces expansion news@currentzionsville.com Ascension St. Vincent is investing $325 million to expand the system’s flagship campus at 86th Street in HOSPITAL Indianapolis. As part of the expansion, Ascension St. Vincent Women’s Hospital will move from Township Line Road to the 86th Street Campus and will add 109 private neonatal intensive care unit rooms. With approximately 268,000 square feet of new space, it will allow mothers and babies to be cared for at one location. Ascension St. Vincent Women’s Hospital in Indianapolis is home to the state’s largest NICU and is one of only two Level IV Perinatal Healthcare Centers in Indiana. Connected to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, the new structure will bring together all related departments, including mother/baby care, high-risk OB, labor and delivery, NICU and support and administrative services as well as public spaces. In addition, the health care organization, along with Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine, is developing a regional destination for complex neurosurgical care, which will
include construction of a new brain and spine hospital. The new hospital will be on the 86th Street Campus. The investment and partnership is in response to significant growth and demand for dedicated neuroscience clinical spaces, including operating rooms, an intensive care unit and an intensive care step-down unit, according to Ascension St. Vincent, which operates 24 hospitals and a network of affiliated joint ventures, medical practices and clinics serving central and southern Indiana. The new dedicated brain and spine hospital also will include the integration of the Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine research institute and the establishment of a residency/training program. Complex neurosurgical care will complement the existing Level 1 Trauma Center at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, as well as the pediatric neurosurgery program. “These exciting projects demonstrate our mission to place our patients, especially those who are poor and vulnerable, at the forefront of our decisions,” said Jonathan Nalli, chief executive officer of Ascension St. Vincent Indiana and ministry market executive for Ascension.

Zionsville couple shares purpose of long-term mission to build housing in Haiti By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com For nearly two decades, a Zionsville couple has traveled to Haiti to build houses. In 2010, they increased their efforts, and in 2018 they established Zanmi Fondwa, a nonprofit employing Haitians who are now building homes in the community at an even faster rate. Zionsville residents David Williamson, 44, and Jamalyn Peigh Williamson, 45, began traveling to Haiti in 2003. They married earlier that year after meeting in graduate school at Duke University, where one of Jamalyn’s classes required she travel with other students to the impoverished Caribbean nation during spring break. The following year, Jamalyn and David were engaged and knew they wanted to do mission work after they married. The couple, based on Jamalyn’s prior trip, decided to live in Fondwa, a territory bordering a stretch of road in southern Haiti, for two years. They learned the nation’s predominant creole language, eventually becoming fluent, and they made lasting friendships that anchored them to the area. David and Jamalyn — both pastors at the time — have since continued to travel intermittently to Fondwa for several years. But on Jan. 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti, leveling homes and destroying infrastructure. Jamalyn was there that day, leading a volunteer group from central Indiana to an orphanage in Fondwa. Her husband, David, who is now the senior pastor at Zionsville United Methodist Church, was at their Zionsville home, with their children, when he saw the news. The initial jolt knocked down everyone in Jamalyn’s group while they were on the footpath leading to the orphanage. The wall surrounding the orphanage collapsed outward, likely saving the children who were playing nearby. Almost immediately aftershocks started, and the sun began to set, engulfing in darkness the wreckage, the approximately 200,000 dead and the millions left without essentials, including lines of communication. “That first night was very quiet,” Jamalyn said. “We didn’t know what we were going to find in the daylight.” Jamalyn was unable to make a call for four days. Meanwhile, David drove to Jamalyn’s parents’ house so they could watch the children while he called her cellphone every 10 to 15 minutes. On Jan. 16, a Haitian physician who was a friend of a couple in Jamalyn’s group used his satellite phone to reach David and other concerned family members of other group members. After returning home, Jamalyn found that sharing her experience moved people, and monetary donations came without being requested. With the donations, the couple was able to build approximately two houses a year, David said. “We started a process of rebuilding houses for people who lost them in the earthquake,” Jamalyn said. “When we would take groups down, we would help fund the houses that way. Then, around 2017, when we realized we had built

all these houses without really putting in a whole lot of strategy, we were just building houses for people who really needed them. Basically, we took a pause to really think about what we wanted to do in the community.” Through their director of operations in Haiti, the couple asked Fondwa residents what their most pressing needs were. Their answer was more housing. “We decided that we would continue to focus on housing, but we wanted to put a little more structure and strategy behind it,” Jamalyn said. The couple launched Zanmi Fondwa in 2018 as a result. The Williamsons developed a leadership team of nine Fondwa community leaders to identify the area’s most vulnerable families. The families must show proof they own their land, commit to volunteering 200 hours of service helping build neighboring houses, attend seven seminars run by community leaders and make affordable payments toward the house. The nonprofit’s goal was to build 40 houses in Fondwa in its first three years. Currently, the approximately 80 Haitians the nonprofit employs are constructing house Nos. 33, 34 and 35, and Jamalyn said she expects the nonprofit to accomplish its goal by this fall. “Our goal was to create jobs and to create stable housing,” said Jamalyn, the nonprofit’s CEO. “Our policy is that Americans don’t build houses. They can go down and work alongside Haitians, but we don’t have a structure that depends on Americans to do the building.” Ultimately, the couple wants to build homes that will last generations, allowing Haitians in Fondwa to focus on other aspirations in life. “What we are trying to do is create stability in a house so that the families can quit worrying about where they live
and their housing, and they can start thinking more about finishing their education or starting a business or being able to invest their money in something else besides a dilapidated home that’s never going to be right,” Jamalyn said. “It’s been an incredible journey,” David said. “To live there for two years, we had no idea this was going to become such an important part of our lives or that we would have this opportunity this many years later to start a nonprofit. But for me, the thing that has been most gratifying has been the way that seeds we planted a long time ago have now come to fruition.” David said most of the nonprofit’s staff in Fondwa are students he taught English to when they were in high school. “When we first built these relationships, we had no idea someday this would become a nonprofit and someday we would be building houses,” David said. “The same thing with our donors. We built relationships over 20 years of taking them to Haiti with us. When we decided we wanted to start a nonprofit, to see all those friendships and all those people step forward and help us get this started, that was probably one of the most gratifying things I’ve ever experienced.” For more about Zanmi Fondwa or to make a donation, visit zanmifondwa.com.

HAVING FAITH David Williamson and Jamalyn Peigh Williamson wanted to deepen their faith when they married in 2003, leading them to live in Haiti for two years. They said their experiences during those two years and in years since changed their worldview. “We really felt called to leave the United States and work somewhere outside of the country,” Jamalyn said. “We felt like we needed to understand what the body of Christ looks like for us as Christians, (and) that did not include just Americans, so we wanted to have an idea of what that looked like so that when we were serving in the local church, we could have a better understanding of what it means to think outside of ourselves.” One day, after the couple returned from Haiti, a man asked them, “Were you able to save anyone while you were there?” David and Jamalyn paused, and David said, “I sure hope people felt Jesus through us in the way that we treated others and the way that we acted, but I could honestly say that there were two people that were saved: Jamalyn and me, because it really helped us understand what it means to live in a community, to know how to be a good neighbor.”

ESSAY
HUMOR
Heard it all before
Here’s the (vapo) rub
Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
If we’ve heard it a million times before, why does it feel like this is the very first time? Sure, sometimes we intentionally pretend not to have any idea what they were saying — even when we knew full well that we weren’t going to do what they asked. Being passive-aggressive is shameful but often very effective. Still, sometimes it really does seem like they are communicating a new idea, so why don’t we remember it? Funny how the human mind works — or doesn’t. To each new bit of information there is assigned a priority and a place. Vetted by experience and capacity, we absorb what we deem important and discharge the rest as unnecessary excess. As we grow and accumulate a bit more life from which to draw, we have a different take on what is important. The filter is adjusted. What didn’t matter last year is central to our thinking this year. New is in and old is out. In other cases, we have decided that we never have to worry about Subject A or Topic B because our spouse or colleague or teacher or government or doctor or mom will take care of it for us. We focus our energies elsewhere. Scottish economist/philosopher Adam Smith was right about the efficiencies gained by a division of labor in his pin factory. We don’t need to become a universal expert. But can we claim the same always? Should we listen when we know they will say it again? Should we work when someone else will work for us? Should we learn our mother-in-law’s birthday when we are certain that our spouse already knows it? Should we educate ourselves or let someone else speak for us? It seems like we’ve heard the answer somewhere before but simply can’t recall when or where. Hmm.
I’m obsessed with sleep, as longtime readers can testify. I follow a strict bedtime routine every night that usually has me unconscious by 9 p.m. and have set up my room with all the necessary nocturnal accoutrements, including a sound machine, black-out curtains and a fabulous weighted-blanket with Cool Max technology. Truth: I take my ZZZs seriously. Woe to anyone who interferes with my 8-to-10 hours of restful oblivion. So, what to do when that person is my partner? About once every couple of months, my slumbering husband Doo will emit a powerful stink, almost always after a day of rigorous exercise, garlic-infused dining and over-consumption of wine or rum. The fumes coming from his pores are noxious enough to wake me with a terrible headache. I’m not exaggerating – Doo is literally poisoning me with these impressive odiferous events. Opening the windows does nothing, nor does breathing through my mouth. I even ordered N95 masks pre-COVID-19 in the hopes that like when demolishing a building filled with asbestos, they could help me survive a toxic Doo. No dice. I usually resort to either kicking Doo out or moving to another room myself. But friends, I think I may have finally found a solution to my decade-long sleep/marital dilemma — Vick’s VapoRub, copiously smeared across my upper lip. Brilliant, right? Basically, I’m mimicking coroners when they examine decomposing bodies (or at least how “Silence of the Lambs” portrayed it). And last night, it worked! I was so focused on the menthol that I couldn’t smell Doo. Huzzah! Desperate times call for desperate measures, people. And now I won’t have to woe my husband anymore. Peace out.

Puzzling punctuation situation Commentary by Dick Wolfsie About 10 years ago the comma on my smartphone stopped working. Now almost a decade later the comma HUMOR key is stuck on my desktop computer. Maybe it’s just a cracker crumb lodged in the key. I usually snack when I write my column, but I am proud to say that all the food groups are represented. Where did my comma key go? I had plenty of other punctuation marks — which I really enjoyed using. But I wanted my comma back! Wouldn’t you? Much has been written about how a comma can change the meaning of a sentence. A bestselling book titled “Eats Shoots and Leaves” has a comma after the word “Eats” describing a murderer who pauses for a snack before firing at his intended victim. Without the comma it’s a simple description of the dietary habits of a koala. So where did my comma go? I went to the cellphone store. The sales rep asked, “Is it really that important to have a comma on your phone?” “Yes it’s important. You can’t write a newspaper column without commas” (as I’m attempting to do now). John was perplexed so he fiddled with the phone. “I can’t find the comma anywhere but I can get you another question mark. Would that help??” “I don’t want any extra punctuation marks. I have enough trouble finishing a sentence the way it is …” “I do admit this is weird Mr. Wolfsie.” “See? You made my point. You just called
me weird Mr. Wolfsie.” “No I didn’t. I said this was weird then I paused and then I said Mr. Wolfsie.” I explained one more time that finding the comma was crucial to being precise and avoiding confusion. “When was the last time you remember using a comma on your phone Mr. Wolfsie?” “Well last week I texted my wife a list of things I wanted her to get at the supermarket: hot dogs beans soda apples lettuce potato chips cookies canned soup.” “Did you punctuate that sentence correctly?” “Of course. I’m very punctual.” “That’s a lot of commas for one text. Which plan are you on?” “You’re telling me I get unlimited minutes but not unlimited commas?” We weren’t making progress so the store manager finally stepped in and said to his employee, “It’s your lunch hour. Why don’t you go eat John?” I don’t know who John is but apparently he’s very tasty. They eventually fixed my phone and I was very grateful. Update: I just brushed between the keys on my desktop keyboard to get that comma working again. However, I think I might have moved some food particles to another computer key. (You’ll never guess which one.

DISPATCHES Sunscreen tip — Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms – UVA and UVB. Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation. Source: fda.gov
Better way to take meds — Some medicines are better absorbed by the body if taken sublingually. This means the medicine is placed under your tongue and held there until it is absorbed. It can go directly into the bloodstream without being digested first. If you have trouble taking pills, or have digestive difficulties, ask your doctor about sublingual alternatives.

Stocks that benefit from rising inflation — Upinflation to The last time the annual rate topped 2.5 percent was$4,000 2011, when itOFF hit 3 percent. As of November Starting 2020, it at was a mere 1.2 $22,321 percent. Although many economists expect price rises to remain tame, some predict that stepped-up inflation may surface as pent-up demand surges among consumers freed by new COVID-19 vaccines and trillions of dollars in stimulus money bolsters global economies that were hit by the pandemic-induced recession. For investors, rising costs can eat into profits for some companies and push up interest rates, which hurts bond prices and tends to pull investors away from stocks, depressing those prices. Cushion the effects of swelling inflation by investing in companies that benefit from global economic
expansion and rising prices. Good candidates can be found in the materials and industrial sectors, especially those businesses that can pass along their rising production costs to customers, such as: Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), the world’s largest copper miner, will see stronger profits due to a 60 percent jump since last spring in the price of copper — essential for home construction and electric-vehicle production. Recent share price: $24.63. Caterpillar (CAT) is a global leader in producing heavy machinery. Rising commodity prices will lead Caterpillar’s customers to buy more of Caterpillar’s excavators, backhoes and bulldozers. Recent share price: $180.96. Source: BottomLineInc.com

The Kentucky hug: Bourbon Trail tips Commentary by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com COVID-19 put a damper on many things for me, especially travel, and when you’re the kind of person who LIBATIONS is always researching the next destination to visit, remaining stuck at home can be a real bummer. As travel begins to resume, especially stateside, I decided to indulge and take a trip I’ve always wanted to: The Bourbon Trail. There are only 18 distilleries on the true, trademarked Bourbon Trail, but there are dozens throughout Kentucky. I went on the trip with my older brother, Matt Skinner, and we didn’t really follow the rules in that we didn’t stick to only true Bourbon Trail distilleries. We saw three official Bourbon Trail distilleries: Stitzel-Weller in Louisville, which houses Bulleit, Blade and Bow and I.W. Harper; Maker’s Mark in Loretto; and Woodford Reserve in Versailles. However, we went off the beaten path a little and also visited Willet in Bardstown and Castle and Key in Frankfort.
THE BOURBON: Many novice drinkers say they enjoy bourbon, but do they really know what bourbon is? For a whiskey to be bourbon, the mash must be at least 51 percent corn; it must be made in the United States; it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels; the whiskey cannot enter the barrel at higher than 125 proof; and nothing can be added except water, so true bourbon isn’t influenced by any ingredients other than its own mash bill, which is a mix of grains like corn, wheat, rye and barley that are cooked and then fermented to make bourbon. Our first stop was Willet Distillery. I’ll save you all the details about each distillery in hopes that you’ll make the trip to travel the trail yourself. After our 45-minute tour, we tried to find lunch before our next tour at Maker’s Mark and were unsuccessful. This leads me to my biggest piece of advice: You must make reservations. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, every place books up fast. M brother and I had to keep an eye on when reservations opened up and quickly book those
tours weeks in advance because they filled up within minutes of opening. Although we made our tour reservations, we forgot that restaurants would be a similar issue. And you don’t want to be stuck on the Bourbon Trail without sustenance. As we sampled the bourbon, we were taught to breathe in the scent with our mouths slightly open, which lets the alcohol fumes escape so you can actually note the flavors. When we took a sip of neat bourbon and it carved a fiery path down our throats and warmed us from the inside out, we learned that was called “The Kentucky Hug,” which, after a weekend of tasting, we fondly referred to as “The Kentucky Gut Punch.” On Sunday, we visited Woodford Reserve for a guided tasting, then Castle and Key, a new distillery that is still aging its bourbon but offers vodka, gin and rye. Although its bourbon isn’t ready, Castle and Key should top the list of places to go when you’re on the trail. It’s a beautiful distillery housed in an actual castle originally built by Col. Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., also known as E.H. Taylor, another bourbon distiller who then abandon it. Castle and Key purchased the abandoned distillery, then in ruins, in 2014 and refurbished it to be the beauty it is today. We finished our trip at Stitzel-Weller in Louisville. My favorite of all was Maker’s Mark. The campus was beautiful, the lush rolling hills of Kentucky accentuating the trees, which are covered in an eerie black fungus called Baudoinia compniacensis, which feeds on ethanol. The fungus isn’t harmful to humans or animals, but it covers everything from the rickhouses where the whiskey ages to the trees and even cars and houses. One tour guide told us the fungus is how underground distilleries were discovered and bootleggers were charged during Prohibition, which is a neat fact. At Woodford Reserve, the experience included a guided tasting of five of Woodford’s whiskeys, one of which was its traditional bourbon.

CYT presents ‘Junie B.’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
NOW OPEN
10801 N Michigan Rd., Zionsville IN 317-516-5000
www.dawesfretzin.com
Sydney Kern isn’t acting her age in this show. The 12-year-old Carmel resTHEATER ident is playing kindergartener Junie B. in Christian Youth Theater’s presentation of “Junie B. Jones is Not a Crook.” “It is hard to remember what a kindergartner acts like,” Kern said. “The character has tons of energy and is constantly talking and moving. It’s fun but exhausting at times. She’s a little goofy and obnoxious, and she’s not afraid to be herself. I like her confidence. It’s so fun to be funny.” The eight performances, set for May 2129 at The Cat in Carmel, are sold out but a streaming option is available for $20. There are two casts of 15 students each in the show, which was twice postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was cast in March 2020. “I’m so grateful that CYT kept the cast together and are still going through with it,” Kern said. “I’ve been working on my lines for over a year.”
From left, Sydney Kern and Abby Mickelson appear in separate casts as Junie B. in the Christian Youth Theater play. (Submitted photo)
Kern appears as Junie B. in the finders/ keepers cast while Noblesville resident Abby Mickelson, 10, plays Junie B. in the losers/ weepers cast. Mickelson, who is performing in her first play, said she has enjoyed making new friends and learning about theater. The streaming version is available by emailing jdunlap@cytindy.org.

When Jim Reilly joined Actors Theatre of Indiana approximately 10 years ago, he encouraged the founders, Don THEATER Farrell, Cynthia Collins and Judy Fitzgerald, to explore additional opportunities to perform. “One of the first things I noticed is there is not a lot of money to be made in theater, so you have to maximize your opportunities,” said Reilly, who serves as ATI’s executive director. “They’re all very talented. They all performed in New York and have incredible backgrounds. If they can find work on their own to utilize their talent in other areas, I encouraged them to do it.” Farrell has worked at Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota in the summer or off-season. “I’ve also done a number of shows at Beef & Boards with my friends there,” Farrell said. “I had worked with them years ago before we even started ATI.” Farrell said the opportunity to perform Sinatra shows at Feinstein’s at the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel created the need to
form a company, Crossroads Entertainment LLC, so he can pay the musicians who join him. Farrell will perform “All the Way,” a Frank Sinatra tribute show, at 7:30 p.m. May 20. He had a Sinatra show in April and has another set for June 9. ATI is always the primary focus for all three artists. “When we started, no one could do anything else but the company,” Collins said. “We worked so hard. Years later, we started to have some freedom to work at other theater companies.” Collins has acted in various shows at Beef & Boards and Phoenix Theatre. She has done different auditions with different companies. Collins and Fitzgerald have collaborated to form the musical programs for the ATI Drive-In Theatre. There are two more this summer, one on June 18 and another on July 16. Fitzgerald has fewer opportunities because when she isn’t preparing for an ATI show, she devotes time to her daughter, Lizzie Farrell, who is active in two Carmel High School show choirs.

Proud Media Partner
Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Varies weekly. Visit the Booze-e Bundts Facebook page for updated locations. What to get: White chocolate raspberry Bundt cake Price: $7.50 or three for $20 Anna’s take: When I traveled to a Noblesville neighborhood a few weeks ago to try Gocki’s Smokin’ BBQ, imagine my delight when I stumbled upon a food truck selling booze-infused Bundt cakes. The cakes are infused with different alcohol flavors, along with non-alcoholic options. I sampled the almond amaretto, red velvet, Reese’s peanut butter cup and white chocolate raspberry. Yes, I did eat all of the cakes at once, and, no, I did not become inebriated, but you can definitely taste the booze (in a good way).
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Clockwise, from top left, red velvet, almond amaretto, Reese’s peanut butter cup and white chocolate raspberry. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
My favorites were the white chocolate raspberry, infused with Chambord liqueur, and the Reese’s peanut butter cup, infused with peanut butter Skrewball whiskey. Booze-e Bundts also sells cake pops (alcohol-free) with other flavor options on the website, boozeebundts.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Classic kitchen in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene This 2006 home is in Zionsville’s Stonegate neighborhood. The original kitchen and adjoining living room needed functional and aesthetic updates.
After
THE BLUEPRINT • The double ovens and refrigerator were relocated for better access. • New cabinets extend to the ceiling for additional storage. The perimeter cabinetry is painted soft white; the island is stained wood. • Two quartz countertops are used on the perimeter and island, which gives the space interest and texture. • The headers and faux columns previously between the kitchen and living room were removed to improve the flow of the space.

Brief history of Chania, Crete Commentary by Don Knebel Many people come to Crete, the largest Greek island, to explore the ruins of the Minoan Palace of Knossos, the TRAVEL center of Europe’s oldest civilization. Fewer make their way 90 miles west to Chania, an ancient city on Crete’s northwest coast. Recent excavations have uncovered the remains of a Minoan palace under modern Chania, making it among Europe’s oldest cities. In the four millennia since its founding, a series of empires, beginning with the Greeks and then the Romans, have imposed their religious views on the city’s architecture. For example, the Venetians, who gained control of the city in the late 13th century, built a long breakwater to protect the harbor and erected a lighthouse at the end of the breakwater to warn incoming ships. In 1320, they erected a Dominican monastery. When the Islamic Ottoman Empire defeated the Venetians in 1645, they converted the monastery into a mosque, erecting a 131-foot-tall minaret alongside the building, and later rebuilt the lighthouse to resemble a minaret. When the Greeks
Scenes from Chania, Crete. (Photo by Don Knebel)
gained control of Chania after World War I, they converted the mosque into the Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. They then added a bell tower to the side of the church opposite the minaret, making St. Nicholas the only church in the world having both a minaret and a bell tower. Chania, with a metropolitan population of about 100,000, is a delightfully walkable city. Be sure to stroll along the breakwater to the lighthouse. Although the recently restored lighthouse is closed, the site
provides a magnificent view of Chania’s Old Town. You can then relax at one of the many outdoor cafes along the waterfront promenade and venture into Old Town’s narrow pedestrian-only streets, featured in the 1964 movie “Zorba the Greek,” which include a variety of interesting shops. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com. You may contact him at editorial@youarecurrent.com.

Pauses filled with … embolalia Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt A few years ago, my friend Kristen and I created a podcast called “The Exotic Fruit Review.” In it, we sampled exotic fruits, discussed them and GRAMMAR GUY interviewed people who were leading extraordinary lives. While we enjoyed having a quirky podcast, Kristen and I had to do all the scheduling, producing and editing work ourselves. One of the things that drove me downright batty was editing our episodes. I hated listening to the sound of my own voice. I began to notice a verbal pattern where my voice would get ahead of my brain. While I was thinking of the right words to say, I’d fill the silent voids with a steady cadence of “uhs” and “ums.” There’s a term for filler words and sounds we utter while navigating to the right word or thought: “embolalia” (or “embolololia”). It comes from the Greek compound word “embolos,” a combination of “emballo” (to throw in) and “lalia” (forming language with abnormal or disordered speech). Other terms to describe this type of speech include
“hesitation forms,” “automatic speech” and “formulaic language.” Before you recognize this pattern in yourself and think that you have some kind of worrisome disorder, know that nearly everyone includes some form of embolalia in their speech, whether or not they’re aware of it. Embolalia encompasses all filler words, including “like,” “kind of,” “you know” and “I mean,” as well as non-words, including “um,” “uh,” “er” and “em.” Formal speech courses discourage embolalia so that speakers’ messages get their points across without any communication barriers. In fact, the public speaking organization Toastmasters International refers to embololia words and sounds as “crutch words.” You can even download an app called LikeSo that will tally your overused filler words and train you to drop them from your rhetoric.
