DRUMRIGHTS JOURNEY Will Drumright, who will be coaching his first season for the AlleyCats, was named the coach before the 2020 season was canceled.

Drumright started playing competitively for a club team at the University of Alabama.

“Most players have played at the collegiate club level, or some cities have high-level club teams that they will compete at in tournaments across the country,” said Drumright, a sports psychology coach. “I just enjoy the community of ultimate. There are a lot of great people involved in the sport. There is something about throwing a Frisbee that always captured my attention. It’s something I fell in love with at a young age and haven’t been able to let go of that obsession.”

Founded in 2012, the AlleyCats are one of two remaining teams from the inaugural AUDL season. Tim Held, from Granger, is the president and majority owner.

The game, which has four 12-minute quarters, is played on an 80-yard field with a 20-yard end zone.

“You just have to catch the disc in the end zone, much like you see in a football touchdown,” Drumright said.

Drumright said the team is looking to attract more fans this season. The AUDL has a TV contract with Fox Sports 2.

“Grand Park is an awesome viewing area for anyone who wants to come watch the game,” he said.

Lifelong construction worker finds relief from severe leg pain through vein procedure Credits care team at Ascension St. Vincent for going ‘out of their way’ to answer his questions and concerns Bruce Brosius began noticing varicose veins in his legs about 10 years ago. But he said it wasn’t until recently that they started to cause him severe pain.

His wife encouraged him to seek care. Bruce said an ultrasound at Ascension St. Vincent detected clotting in both of his legs.

“The clotting was causing me a great deal of pain and swelling,” said Bruce. “The clot was probably the size of a nickel in the side of my right leg, near my knee. It was hard to the touch and very tender.”

Bruce said he believes several factors may have led to the varicose veins in his legs, including being a reformed smoker, his genetics and his demanding construction job.

“I spend a lot of hours standing on my feet, wearing boots and carrying a tool belt,” Bruce said. “I’m doing high-impact work all day long.”

Bruce had a radiofrequency vein ablation procedure on his right leg at Ascension St. Vincent. This minimally invasive procedure uses heat created from radiofrequency waves, delivered through a small catheter, to close off the abnormal superficial veins that cause varicose veins. © Ascension 2021. All rights reserved.

“Vein problems run a broad spectrum, from unsightly cosmetic issues to significant health issues and disability,” said Richard Chitwood, MD, a vascular surgeon at Ascension St. Vincent. “Our team of vascular surgeons listens to each patient to determine the care plan for their particular issues and provide appropriate treatment.”

“If I would have known that this treatment was going to be so painless, and that I was going to meet so many wonderful people involved, I would have done this a long time ago.” — Bruce Brosius Bruce said the procedure was quick and simple, and relieved a large amount of pressure from his leg. He speaks highly of the care he received.

“The team at Ascension St. Vincent has gone out of their way to be respectful of my wishes and to listen to all my questions and concerns,” said Bruce. “I cannot say enough good things about them.”

Bruce Brosius, who has been a construction worker for over 40 years, had a minimally invasive procedure to relieve his leg pain.

Bruce said he will continue to see his care teams at Ascension St. Vincent for follow-up care and that he is looking forward to working and riding his bike without leg pain getting in the way.

“If I would have known that this treatment was going to be so painless, and that I was going to meet so many wonderful people involved, I would have done this a long time ago,” said Bruce.

Vascular specialists at Ascension St. Vincent provide a variety of innovative treatment options for men and women needing vascular care, from injection sclerotherapy for spider veins to minimally invasive venous ablation for varicose veins. When bulging leg veins are uncomfortable or when you want help adjusting vein-related skin discoloration, our care teams are ready to help.

Health commissioner says COVID variants should still cause worry

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Although all Indiana residents age 16 and older are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, Indiana State Health PANDEMIC Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said the race between the vaccines and COVID-19 variants continues and that the variants are “picking up steam.”

As of March 31, Indiana has reported 137 cases of the B117 variant that originated in the United Kingdom; one case of the B1351 variant out of South Africa; one case of the P1 variant out of Brazil; and 27 cases of the variant first detected in California.

“Our proximity to Michigan, which is one of the top states for B117 variants, is a concern,” Box said during a March 31 virtual press briefing. “COVID is still very much present in our state and (I) encourage everyone who is eligible for a vaccine to sign up as soon as possible and to continue to wear a mask and take precautions.”

As of March 31, Indiana had recorded increases in average daily COVID-19 cases, test positivity rates and hospitalizations.

More counties were assigned a more stringent advisory level because of an increase in cases.

As a result, the state health officials will now track multiple metrics to determine future action. Gov. Eric Holcomb did not specify during the virtual briefing what data points would drive changes in public health policy, such as possibly reinstating Indiana’s mask mandate that expires April 6.

“I’m concerned about the variants,” Box said. “You can look at other states. You can look at other countries. You can see when this B117 variant became the predominant strain that was infecting individuals.

It’s much, much more transmissible and appears to put more individuals in the hospitals.

“Keeping our number of infections down is the most important thing we can do to prevent the spread of those variants.”

Hamilton County is recruiting military veterans for open jobs in the area.

EMPLOYMENT On March 25, the county announced that the Veteran Committee for Hamilton County’s 21st Century Talent ReHaberman gion has released a video designed to attract veterans to the area.

Funded by a grant from Duke Energy, the video features testimonials from veterans who live and work in Hamilton County.

Chuck Haberman, workforce development manager for the City of Noblesville and a United States Marine Corps veteran, heads the committee.

“The veteran population is mostly transient by nature, with changing duty stations, detachments and deployments, so when we’re ready to finally settle down, we want to make sure it’s going to be right

for us,” Haberman stated. “The committee, made up entirely of veterans, felt it was important to highlight the things we know are important to veterans and the things Hamilton County has in spades.”

The committee will use the video to help attract and retain veterans. It also is working with InVets, the state veteran attraction Heirbrandt initiative, as it promotes Indiana throughout the nation as a desirable place to relocate after they leave the service.

“I am proud of Hamilton County’s focus on veteran opportunities,” Hamilton County Commissioners President Mark Heirbrandt stated. “We hope that veterans will find our county attractive, welcoming, and a place to call home for years to come.”

Hamilton County Economic Development has created a veterans’ page on its website.

The video can be viewed at visithamiltoncounty.com/invest-hamilton-county/work/ veterans/.

Camp offers Chinese classes

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Students in grades nine through 12 in Hamilton County will have an opportunity to learn Chinese this summer.

LANGUAGE Ball State University will offer the STARTALK Chinese Summer Camp for high school students from July 6-30. The program is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Lunch is provided. Students need little or no formal training in Chinese to participate. If accepted into the program, tuition is free.

Each student in the program will interact daily with Chinese teachers, learn to converse in Chinese with native speakers, participate in cultural activities and design projects to enhance cross-cultural awareness in the community.

Interested students must apply by May 21. There is a $50 registration fee if accepted, and space is limited to 20 students.

Liu Li, an associate professor of Chinese at Ball State University, said the program is supported by a United States Dept. of Defense grant.

“Chinese is not taught in Fishers High

School or (Hamilton Southeastern High School), and it’s a very important, critical language to the U.S.,” Li said. “It’s not taught in any schools in Indiana.”

Li said students will learn the Chinese language and the nation’s culture.

“Asian culture is very different from American or European cultures,” Li said. “Japan and China are the second- and third-largest economies in the world, but we know so little about them.”

The camp is open to all students, not only to those who live in Fishers. But Li said transportation will not be provided. The program will offer three dual-credit hours for high school students.

The Columns on Meridian home is getting ready for its closeup.

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild’s EVENT 60th Anniversary Decorators’ Show House and Gardens will offer public tours at the house, 5417 N. Meridian St., from April 24 to May 9.

A total of 22 interior designers, three landscape designers, their support teams and the members of St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild have donated hundreds of hours to refurbish the property.

“We believe we are the longest-running consecutive show house in the U.S.,” said Anne Buskirk-Bailey, the promotions director. “We had one last year, but we were unfortunately not able to open it to the public because COVID hit about a month before. We did a video virtual tour, which was accessible for free to the public.”

The 100 percent volunteer initiative has raised nearly $13.5 million since 1907 for Indianapolis’ public hospital, Eskenazi Health. All ticket and tour proceeds benefit the programs at Eskenazi Health. The bulk of the contributions have been since 1950, Buskirk-Bailey said.

Bailey said visitors can tour the house by pre-purchasing a ticket online.

“Everyone has to do a scheduled tour time, and there are only so many people allowed in during each hour,” said Buskirk-Bailey, who grew up in Zionsville and is the daughter of St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild life member Maureen Buskirk. “It’s highly regulated and everyone is required to wear masks. There is a $15 video experience people can purchase if they don’t feel comfortable going through the house in person.”

Buskirk-Bailey said there is no cafe this year.

“But we’ll be selling goods made in Indiana from different producers,” she said.

“There will be food items but (we are) not sure they can be consumed on the property.

Hopefully, next year we’ll be able to go back to our normal level of what we do. For the most part, the tours will be the same.”

There is a different home each year, but there have been some repeat homes.

“We generally stay in the Meridian-Kessler territory, but it’s not mandatory,” Buskirk-Bailey said. “They did a series of homes at Fort Benjamin Harrison many years ago.

MW Harris decorated this room at the Columns on Meridian.

They’ve gone to Carmel for one or two.”

In 2012, Mark A. and Susan Graham became the 10th owners of the 90-year-old home. The Grahams’ residence was one of the homes on the 2015 Meridian-Kessler Home Tour.

“Homeowners move out in the first week of January and the guild takes over occupancy of the property, so they don’t live there during the restoration,” Buskirk-Bailey said. “It’s not a total restoration. Some projects are spearheaded, and they’ll do full remodels on the kitchen and bathroom during the process. Sometimes those will start earlier. This year we had seven phases that were gutted and redone, which is amazing.

The before-and-after pictures in the program will be really neat for everyone.”

Buskirk-Bailey said sometimes it’s a balance of the homeowners spending some money on the remodel. Some appliances and supplies are donated.

“We have a network of companies, volunteers and designers who come in every year,” she said. “It’s a negotiation. Nothing is supplied 100 percent free to the homeowners. They don’t keep all the furnishings that come in.”

St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild rents a place for the homeowners to stay during the process.

The Employer Support of the Guard & Reserve through the U.S. Dept. of Defense recently recognized ACHIEVEMENT Hamilton County Surveyor Kenton Ward with its Seven Seals Award. ESGR is the lead U.S. Defense Dept. program promoting cooperation and understanding between civilian employers and their National Guard and Reserve employees.

Ward was nominated for the award by Sgt. First Class Scott Dykes, a section corner technician in the surveyor’s office and a member of the Army National Guard. Dykes recently returned from a nine-month deployment to Kuwait.

“Kent did more than just hold a job for me while I was gone,” Dykes stated. “The entire surveyor’s office was really supportive, even sending a couple of care packages while I was gone. Mine was the first deployment out of their office and they went above and beyond in terms of support.”

The Seven Seals Award is presented in recognition of significant individual or organizational achievement, initiative or support that promotes and supports the ESGR mission to include the efforts of the more than 4,500 volunteers who carry out ESGR’s mission.

“I like to hire veterans like Scott whenever I can,” Ward stated. “They know the chain of command, have a good work ethic and demonstrate initiative.”

Fishers ministers help The Reserve residents weather pandemic

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Chris Neel had developed a following of 30 people in his Bible study group at The Reserve at Hamilton Trace in Fishers.

But when the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, he could no longer meet in person with the senior living community members.

“You look forward to your retirement years, and suddenly to be locked up like that is not a way to do much for your mental, relational, emotional or spiritual health,” said Neel, a 60-year-old Fishers resident.

“I’m a semi-retired pastor. I called every week on Mondays, because that’s when our Bible study was, for as long as they were locked down. I spent three to five minutes with them on the phone, checked on them, prayed with them, (read) them a Scripture.”

Neel’s wife, Sandra Neel, a professional violinist, sometimes played a song for members over the phone.

“When they let us get with them, we met outside at the gazebo (in the summer of 2020),” Neel said. “We wore masks and stayed 6 feet apart. My wife would come and play her music for about 10 to 15 minutes.”

Finally, Neel was able to return to in-person Bible study in mid-October 2020.

“It was hard for them and it was hard for me,” Neel said. “But I knew one day it might be me, and it’s nice to know that people cared. Since they were limited in social interactions, I made sure they had that plus having some spiritual food and fellowship.”

Neel started the Bible study 3 1/2 years ago with four members. It now has about 20 members.

“They’re wonderful people and I enjoyed getting to know them,” Neel said. “They are retired school teachers, lawyers and physicians. One of them used to be executive secretary to the president of what is now Chase Bank. These are all incredible people.

We are trying to bring some joy into the challenging times they’ve all faced. It’s been a blessing to them, too.”

Neel occasionally fills in for Destiny Church Pastor Jeff Conrad for church service on Sundays. Conrad started his church at The Reserve in 2016. Neel had previously been a pastor at non-denominational

churches.

The Reserve resident Mary Iberg, 88, attends the church services and the Bible study.

“We have all survived because of them,” Iberg said of Conrad and Neel. “Jeff has been just wonderful. When he couldn’t come, a few of us got together and kept the church services going. We dearly love him.”

Besides staying in touch during lockdown time, Iberg said Neel is faithful about calling people when they’re sick.

Iberg said it was difficult to keep the Bible study numbers consistent when it was held outside.

“Sometimes it was cold, and then sometimes it was hot and no one showed,” she said. “It’s been challenging, but we’ve tried to keep everything going with the help of the Lord.”

Iberg said she leads the prayer group at The Reserve.

“We try to keep everyone posted on who is needing prayer and who we need to visit,” Iberg said. “We’re so grateful to The Reserve to have such freedom with Christ

because it doesn’t happen everywhere.”

Conrad, a Fishers resident, said Valerie Howard, The Reserve’s life enrichment director, informs either he or Neel if a resident needs support.

“I play the piano, sing, and preach and lead the worship,” Conrad said. “My wife (Julia) runs the soundboard when she’s available.”

Conrad returned to offering in-person service at The Reserve at Hamilton Trace in

mid-October 2020.

“Once COVID hit, we weren’t allowed in,” Conrad said. “I do my sermons and put them up on YouTube. I send an email to some of the residents. They held their own services during that time when they were allowed to do it.”

ATTRACTING MEMBERS FROM OUTSIDE THE RESERVE Six church members don’t live at The Reserve, Pastor Jeff Conrad said.

“I continue to do a virtual service because those members are not allowed to participate yet,” he said. “The Reserve has done a very good job protecting its residents with their restrictions.”

Conrad, 56, serves as a hospital chaplain at Ascension St. Vincent’s Stress

Center in Indianapolis.

“It was difficult and understandable whenever they had to be virtual,” Conrad said. “I feel really bad for the residents when they were shut into the home and couldn’t have friends and family come and see them. I think everyone is real happy to see things opening up.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Settling scores

Bring on the empty nest Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker He got what he deserved. Serves him right. Karma’s not too nice. There is a bit of naughty pleasure in the vindication when someone we judge seems to be judged by others. The speeder who cut us off in traffic moments earlier is now stopped by a state trooper. Smile. The libidinous cheater is shot by a jealous spouse. Well, it seems like just desserts.

For some of us, this is all wrath-of-God stuff. Punishment. Retribution. Even the score.

But what of those who have earned the best? Do we find a longing to elevate the right-doing with the same fervor that might drive us to reprimand the wrong-doer? She deserves to be happy.

Well, good for him. When the “right” person wins, we can claim a little more order to the world. We feel that our own efforts may be rewarded with success.

Sure, it helps if the victor is likable. It is not fun to give credit to those who for one reason or another always seem to rub us the wrong way.

Luke’s account of Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Son is a tough one for many. While one son is devoted to his family and works very hard, another is profligate and consumes far more than he produces. Upon his return after a long absence, the second son is welcomed by their dad with open arms and a big party. Son No. 1 is a bit offended.

Shouldn’t he be? Where is the karma?

Shouldn’t the party be for him, the “good” offspring?

In our rush to help create justice in the world, through our own imperfect filter, are we only reinforcing our own desire to even the score? If so, is it really our score to even? Does the universe owe us for our goodness?

People often say to me, “I can’t believe your kids are so old! I’ll bet you’re going to miss them when they’re finally all gone.”

Usually, I respond with a fake “absolutely” to avoid an awkward moment, because the truth is, I cannot wait for my chicks to fly away. My four children point to the fact that I am cold and dead inside to explain my apparent lack of emotion at their forthcoming launches into adulthood, but the real reason is that for me, parenting is akin to an ultra-endurance race. Once you’ve crossed the finish line and puked, you just want to eat a Quarter Pounder and go to sleep. Sure, there’ll be fond memories mixed in with the pain, but you’re glad it’s over and fairly committed to never running again. Ever.

With three in college, we are 75 percent of the way to Empty Nestville, and this past week, our youngest was housesitting. I was able to get a real taste of life after kids and confirm my suspicion that I will indeed love having everyone gone. The quietude. The cleanliness. It was downright delightful. And for me, at least, once out of sight, definitely out of mind, which meant far less maternal anxiety. I’ll always be a mom, but it’s far easier when you’re not on call 24/7.

Does it seem like only yesterday when I had four rug rats under 6? Yes. I honestly don’t know where the time went. But I’ll also admit to being thrilled about that chapter nearing its end. I’ll take a McDonald’s No. 2 and a long nap, thank you. Wake me when the grandkids arrive! Peace out.

Buddying up to my barber and dentist Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Do you know what reentry anxiety is?

Mary Ellen read about this condition in the news and asked if I thought I HUMOR might have it. She explained that many people are nervous about returning to normal behaviors after being quarantined for a year. How exactly does one behave in a post-pandemic world?

I Googled the issue to get more information. According to the first webpage I landed on, virtually all astronauts suffer from this. “Orbiting around the earth at 18,000 mph, astronauts have time to reflect on how they might soon burn up before reentering the earth’s atmosphere.” That sounds scarier than wondering if it’s safe to kiss your new bride or if it’s rude to slather on sanitizer immediately after you shake your new boss’s hand.

Next week, I plan to visit my dentist and my barber (two different people) for the first time in more than a year. I feel bad that it has been so long, and I don’t want to insult either one by acting inappropriately.

Dr. Roberts has been very nice to me, even

though I have passed out twice in his office.

The first time, it was in the chair when I had a bad drug reaction, and then several years ago in the outer lobby when his receptionist showed me the bill for my root canal.

Buddy, my barber, also has been good to me. Through the years, he has successfully timed my haircuts to events on my calendar, like when I was making plans for my 50th high school reunion. I always look scalped right after a haircut and shaggy six weeks later, so we have to think way ahead and plan the visits. He did mess up the schedule once and I had to get two haircuts in the same week.

The truth is, it’s been so long since I have seen either Buddy or Dr. Roberts, I may be mixing up which is which (that’s not the truth, of course, but this is a humor column, so just play along).

For example, guess which one tilts me back in the chair and says, “This is not going to hurt.” That must be Buddy, because several years ago he accidentally jabbed my ear with the scissors and then promised he would never do it again.

Which visit is covered by insurance?

That’s got to be the haircut. I remember my agent telling me I’d be covered for any loss. I assume that included my hair. And do I tip the barber or the dentist? I have no recollection of tipping my dentist, but I should. After 25 years with him, I still have all my teeth. My hair? Not so much. By the way, either Dr. Roberts or Buddy told me to remember to brush twice a day. I sure wish I could remember who it was.

One of them blathered for my entire last appointment about who he thought should be elected president last November. Mary Ellen always tells me that when it comes to politics to keep my trap shut. I always do that with Buddy, so I don’t get hair in my mouth. With Dr. Roberts, I have to keep it open, but I can’t be understood, anyway.

I see Buddy tomorrow. Rumor is that his prices have gone up. I hope he still takes major medical.

10 tips for Foot Health Awareness Month Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan April is National Foot Health Awareness Month, and good foot care is essential to keeping our feet healthy, PODIATRY active and pain-free. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, 20 percent of the U.S. population has at least one foot problem annually.

Some problems could be genetic. But by following the 10 tips to promote good foot health, some foot and ankle problems can be prevented or stopped from becoming serious problems if treatment is sought quickly.

10 ways to promote good foot health • Inspect your feet every day — especially if you have diabetes. Use a mirror (or a friend) to check hard-to-reach spots.

Take note of any bumps, cracks or red and rough spots and review with a podiatrist.

• Always wear shoes in public to protect from injuries, fungal infections and some types of heel pain.

• Give toenails frequent polish breaks.

• After a shower or bath, completely dry between the toes to avoid problems with fungus.

• Always put sunscreen on your feet,

•

• •

•

•

between your toes and all around your ankle because these areas are vulnerable to burns and skin cancer.

Exercise by doing low-impact sports.

Walking or riding a bicycle can help you maintain a healthy weight without overloading your feet.

Stretch before any exercise to help prevent foot and ankle injuries — especially before running.

Wear the right shoes. Look for a low heel and lots of arch support. Leave a bit of space (about a thumb’s worth) between the end of your big toe and your shoe end.

If walking or exercising hurts, even in supportive athletic shoes, custom orthotics could offer pain relief and extra protection for your foot health.

When in doubt, call us at the first sign of foot pain. Often, people ignore or “walk off” foot pain, but that can turn minor problems into major foot concerns.

A board-certified foot surgeon and wound specialist, Dr. David Sullivan is the owner of Westfield Foot and Ankle, LLC. Contact him at drs@westfieldfoot.com.

DISPATCHES COVID-19 cases decline in nursing homes — The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL), representing more than 14,000 nursing homes and long-term care facilities across the nation that provide care to approximately 5 million people each year, recently released a report showing nursing homes in the U.S. continue to see a rapid decline in new COVID-19 cases thanks to initial vaccine allocations prioritized for nursing homes and called on Congress to consider the industry’s Care For Our Seniors Act to address systemic issues facing the nursing home sector and prevent another COVID-type crisis. Recent CMS data shows that nursing homes have seen a 96 percent decline in new COVID-19 cases among residents since the peak during the week of Dec. 20 of last year when there were more than 30,000 new resident cases. Along with the lowest number of new COVID-19 cases, AHCA/NCAL’s new report shows COVID related deaths in nursing homes declined by 91

percent since December 20, 2020. For more, visit ahcancal.org/solutions.

Ribbon cuttings celebrate restaurant grand openings

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Taking advantage of ideal weather, the One Zone Chamber of Commerce conducted a pair of ribbon-cutting ceremonies on March 30 for two new local restaurants.

FOOD “After everything we’ve been through (with COVID-19), it’s great to have days like today to celebrate,” said Mayor Scott Fadness in between the official grand openings for Hamilton County Tavern and Kitchen and the one for the 1933 Lounge by St. Elmo across the parking lot.

Both restaurants are in the Fishers District and are owned and operated

by Huse Culinary, which also owns St. Elmo Steakhouse and Harry and Izzy’s. Some of the more recognizable items from St. Elmo, such as shrimp cocktails, can be found at the 1933 Lounge. The HC Tavern and Kitchen offers its own unique fare. “(The HC Tavern and Kitchen) is like a Harry and Izzy’s as far as it’s a classic American grill. Same price points, but a completely different menu and decor,” said Craig Huse, the CEO of Huse Culinary.

The ribbon-cutting ceremonies were completed in about 10 minutes, but the wait to reopen the restaurants took much longer.

“We opened 1933 in December of 2019 and then we opened the HC in February of 2020, then on March 17 we were shut down for two months after that,” Huse said after the ceremonies. “There was a lot of anxiety back then, ‘Oh, my gosh, we just put this huge investment into two big restaurants and have over 100 employees over here and we’re going to have to shut down.’”

Huse was relieved to have both restaurants back in business.

“It’s energizing to be able to celebrate something like this,” he said.

Broadcasting couple turn Trans-Siberian Railway trip into documentary for PBS

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Ann Craig-Cinnamon and John Cinnamon have been to more than 100 nations, all seven continents and all 50 states, but they are always seeking a new adventure.

When they learned about the Trans-Siberian Railway, FILM they were intrigued.

“The trip was 16 days, starting in Moscow, going through Siberia, Mongolia and ending in Beijing,” Ann said. “It’s the longest train ride trip in the world. It sounded fascinating, so we decided to do it.”

The couple, who are Geist residents, took the trip in April 2019.

“Ann had the idea that this is going to be such an interesting and epic trip we should document it somehow,” John said.

The result was creating a documentary, “Journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway.” The documentary was completed by April 2020, but airing was delayed amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It was aired for the first time on Indianapolis PBS station’s WFYI in October 2020 and had a few more airings. It will air again at 7:30 p.m.

April 22 on WFYI. The couple’s 30-minute documentary film by the Indianapolis broadcast veterans has been chosen by American Public Television for national distribution to PBS stations across the nation.

The film will air on more than 250 stations, including top 10 markets, and will reach more than 80 percent of the U.S. population.

Ann said other PBS stations have the rights to air it during a twoyear period.

“Knowing that our film will have a national audience is beyond anything we imagined,” John said.

Ann said the couple watched travel documentaries. The Cinnamons knew they could take photos, write and do voiceovers. They did not have as much experience collecting video before the trip.

They met with Clayton Taylor, WFYI vice president of production, before leaving to see if there was interest — and there was.

Taylor also suggested people to speak with before leaving.

“They gave us some things to look at when shooting, video techniques,” John said. “That gave us some insight on what to be looking for and how to shoot it and how to get it mic’d up for audio.”

Ann said they also talked with another documentary filmmaker.

“We bought some new equipment and we just went for it,” said Ann, a member of the Indiana Broadcasters Hall of Fame. “We did all our own shooting. John did the majority of the actual video and I did some of it. We took a lot of still photos. We did lots of interviews with people from our Russian guide, who was with us the whole time, another person on the tour with us and the guy who ran the dining car. We asked him the favorite part of his job and he said, ‘Meeting people.’

“We asked him his least favorite part, and without hesitation

said, ‘Drunk Russian men.’”

They interviewed a Mongolian tour guide who told them he didn’t make enough money as a doctor working in a hospital to support his family, so he got into the travel business.

“His English was great, his Russian supposedly was even better and, of course, his Mongolian,” Ann said.

The Mongolian guide was a big fan of the NBA. “We told him we were from Indiana and he said ‘Reggie Miller,’” John said. “He said, ‘He especially likes dudes who shoot the 3.’”

Fishers resident Philip Paluso helped with the editing process when the couple returned.

“He added a lot to it and made it super creative,” Ann said. “We were really proud of the product. The takeaway we hope people get when they watch is that people are people. They might have different cultures and different governments, but basically people are people.”

John said they have the same interests and do many of the same activities as Americans.

Among their previous adventures were gorilla trekking in Rwanda; hiking the Himalayas to see Mt. Everest; snorkeling with sea lions in the Galapagos; and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa.

In October 2020 amid the pandemic, the couple traveled Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles.

“That’s going to be our next documentary,” Ann said. “We were in Ireland when the pandemic broke out and we were sent home.”

‘Art in the Garden’ to feature Osborne editorial@youarecurrent.com After a long shutdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Carmel Arts Council will conduct its first event of the year April 10 with “Art in the Garden,” featuring Carmel artist Scott Osborne. In 2020, Donna Tutwiler, past CAC president and now the CAC’s gallery coordinator, created “Art in the Garden.” The CAC’s mission is to encourage children to participate in the arts as part of their educational development.

Osborne will set up shop and work with clay in the garden by The World’s Smallest Children’s Art Gallery from 4 to 8 p.m. during Meet Me on Main, sponsored by Allied Solutions, in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

As an interactive event, children will have the opportunity to join the fun and work with clay at the Children’s Table.

As part of part of Meet Me on Main, mixed-media artist Wendy Simon, an Indiana Artisan from Frankfort, will demonstrate her sculpting techniques and bring a new cartoon creature to life from 5 to 9 p.m. at Indiana Artisan Gifts & Gallery, 22 N. Range Line Rd.

This original show will PRODUCTIONS highlight what Civic is offering in its 2021-22 Season and marks the return to live performances for the first time in more than a year.

“Light on the Horizon” will be performed in The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, with eight live performances between April 30 and May 15. The show will include performers from past and upcoming Civic productions. Many of the performers are from Civic’s cast of “The Color Purple,” which was originally scheduled for this spring. Because of capacity limitations, “The Color Purple” has been postponed until October.

Civic will present “A Few Good Men” in

the Studio Theater, which will run from May 12 to May 22. “A Few Good Men” was postponed in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the suspension of campus-wide activities. Civic welcomes back previous cast members as well as some new performers for the production.

A Broadway hit, “A Few Good Men” tells the story of the trial of two Marines for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay. Civic is taking every possible precaution to welcome back patrons. Both theaters can be seated at 25 percent capacity while observing social distancing. Every attendee also will be required to wear a mask in the building at all times. Civic will reevaluate the protocols as needed.

Pier 48 Fish House and Oyster Bar

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 130 S. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis What to get: Lobster roll Price: $17 Anna’s take: Pier 48 Fish House and Oyster Bar is an excellent place for a date night, especially being right across the street from Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Start out with the char-grilled oysters ($12), a beautiful array of East Coast oysters with garlic herbed butter, served with a parmesan crostini, which is perfect for sopping up all the juices. Also be sure to try a cup of the New England clam chowder ($5), which is

absolutely loaded with clams. For the main event, try either the lobster roll ($17) or the blackened monkfish ($31). The lobster roll, as the name implies, is a roll stuffed with large pieces of cold-water Maine lobster. The roll is a delicious hybrid of Texas toast and a bao bun. Be sure to douse the roll with melted butter that comes on the side.

The blackened monkfish is definitely for those with a hearty appetite. It is a generous portion of monkfish served over polenta cake with smoked andouille sausage, crawfish tails and etouffee sauce. Finish it off with a piece of the most delicious New York-style cheesecake ever ($7). The cheesecake has a sour cream topping and raspberry drizzle.

Behind bars: Tango-rita Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 1 oz. rum, 1 oz. orangecello, .75 oz. lime juice, .75 oz. simple syrup, lime wedge, Tajin Directions: Shake and strain over chipped ice in a Collins glass rimmed with Tajin and garnished with a lime wedge.

Blueprint for Improvement: Lake Clearwater outdoor living Commentary by Larry Greene This 1991 home is at the edge of Indianapolis’ Lake Clearwater. The new owners wanted to enhance the exterior living space.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The upper deck was updated with Trex composite decking and waterproofing; the railings were in good condition, so they remained intact.

• The waterproofing system installed below the top deck protects the now screened-in area from the elements and diverts water away from the home.

• Tongue-and-groove paneling was installed in the screened porch. The concrete patio remained.

• New light fixtures and exterior painting complete the transformation.

Oh, my aching backronym Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Bronze rendering of Nataraja in Government Museum, Chennai, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Chennai’s famous bronzes Commentary by Don Knebel The Indian city of Chennai, known as Madras until 1966, contains one of the world’s most extensive collections TRAVEL of bronze figures, created by South Indian artisans beginning in the seventh century.

Chennai is located along the Bay of Bengal in southeast India. With an urban population of about 11 million, it is India’s fifth-largest city. Chennai is often listed among the top places in the world to visit because of its rich and diverse history and excellent museums and cultural institutions. The Government Museum, Chennai, is the most important of those museums.

Founded in 1851 by Scottish surgeon and Orientalist Edward Balfour, it is the second-oldest museum in India and reportedly the 10th-oldest museum in the world. The museum complex, now located on a 16-acre site, contains 46 galleries spread among six buildings. The museum contains the largest collection of Roman antiquities outside Europe, reflecting Roman adventures on the Indian subcontinent.

The Bronze Gallery, located in its own

building, is the museum’s most famous, containing more than 1,500 bronze figures from India’s Buddhist, Jain and Hindu traditions. The most important figures were created during the period of the Chola Dynasty, which ruled South India from about A.D. 850 A.D. to A.D. 1250. Those figures, most representing Hindu deities, were created using the so-called “lost wax” method. The figure was first carved in hard wax, which was then coated with several layers of thin moist clay. Once the clay had hardened, the wax was melted away and the resulting mold filled with molten bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. The most famous of the Chola bronzes is known as “Ardhanarisvara,” (Lord who is half woman), a half male, half female combination of Shiva, an important Hindu deity, and Parvati, his consort. Other famous bronzes depict Shiva as Nataraja, the Lord of the Dance.

By this point in your life, you probably know what an acronym is. Examples include NASA (National Aeronautics and Space AdministraGRAMMAR GUY tion), NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and GIF (graphics interchange format). Note that an acronym is pronounced the way the beginning letters of each word “spell out” a new word.

An initialism, on the other hand, is an abbreviation containing the first letter of each word. When we pronounce initialisms, we simply say the letters (e.g., BBC, CIA, NCAA).

We find acronyms and initialisms all over the place, but I want to look at a subset of acronyms known as “backronyms” (or “bacronyms”). Backronyms are acronyms that have been reverse-engineered to conveniently spell a certain word.

For instance, have you ever heard of the computer-programming language called BASIC? It stands for “Beginner’s All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.”

That’s a stretch. James Bond creator Ian

Fleming created the fictional crime syndicate called SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion). In comics, Marvel’s SHIELD has stood for a few things during its existence, but, as of this writing, it stands for “Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.”

Backronyms tend to flourish in one place: Washington, D.C. Congressional leaders love cringeworthy backronyms.

Most Americans benefited from 2020’s CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act. And who can possibly forget 2001’s USA PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act? I wonder how much time in meetings is devoted to reverse-engineering titles to spell stuff?
