Rockwood replaces Benner for Pacers

Robbie Blackwell speaks with Chief David Hofmann at the Lawrence Government Building May 14.

Area students created handmade cards for Lawrence police officers.

A new face has joined Pacers Sports & Entertainment in the position of senior vice president of corporate, community and public relations. Brent staffing Rockwood will replace Bill Benner, who recently retired.

Rockwood grew up in the Fishers area and graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School and Butler University. His family is living in Denver during the job transition. He is searching in the Carmel, Fishers and Zionsville area for a home.

“My role will require a little bit of everything,” Rockwood said. “One of the things attracting me to Pacers Sports & Entertainment is I grew up here in Indianapolis, and I was always familiar with the Pacers.”

Rockwood said returning to his roots to work with the Pacers is truly a dream job.

“When I saw the job opportunity, I literally jumped out of my seat and thought, ‘What a perfect fit for me with the job responsibilities,’” Rockwood said.

Rockwood “This is what I spent my 17-year career doing, and just my passion for basketball and the Indiana Pacers (and) Indiana Fever and the opportunity to return home where I have strong roots, it was really a perfect culmination of factors.”

Rockwood said the culture of the organization begins at the top with the ownership.

“We talk a lot about winning on and off the court,” he said. “The organization is very much about winning off the court through serving our local community. I’m ecstatic to have the chance to be in this role, serve the organization and serve this community and our state.”

Rockwood began his position last month.

Oh, brother: Current in Fishers story reunites half-siblings

join us for a

Remodeling Seminar Half-siblings Ron and Keith Bratton were reunited after decades of separation. (Submitted photo)

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie news@currentinfishers.com Have you ever read something I’ve written that changed your life?

I didn’t think so.

Well, I am pleased to say that finally, after almost 20 years of writing, I family submitted something that just maybe did make a small difference for someone.

My column a few weeks ago was about a longtime friend, Keith Bratton. Now 92, Keith lives in a retirement community in Fishers.

I recounted some of his unique inventions over the years, like a urinal splash guard with Osama Bin Laden’s photo, Kosher confetti for Bar Mitzvahs and circumcisions and a golf ball with GPS. Current in Fishers ran the article as a front-page feature. That was not the end of the story; a much better one followed.

The write-up found its way onto a Facebook page viewed by Sarah Erdman, the daughter of Ron Bratton of Fort Wayne.

Sarah forwarded the article to her dad, wondering if Keith might be a relative. When Ron read the Facebook post, he was pretty sure this was his long-lost half-sibling. And that’s when Sarah learned for the first time that her dad had a half-brother. She also realized that the description of Keith’s quirky personality and creative bent mirrored her dad’s.

It had been 68 years since they last saw each other, if they had ever met at all. It was hard to know for sure. Keith’s mother died when Keith was 24 years old, and his father remarried. Ron was the offspring from that relationship. The more than two-decade gap in age, coupled with Keith’s entry into

the Army and subsequent establishment of his own business, resulted in a failure to connect. It was a situation they both now lament.

Ron was planning a trip to Indianapolis for his granddaughter’s gymnastic event and decided to include a stop at Keith’s senior community. Ron approached the front desk and asked if there was a Keith Bratton living there. The receptionist was appropriately cautious.

“Are you a relative?” she asked.

“I think I may be his half-brother,” said Ron, which sounded a little suspicious.

However, Ron was allowed entrance. Keith was told he had a visitor, but no other clues were given about the mystery guest. When this stranger entered the room, there was a classic Keith quip. “Don’t arrest me. I didn’t do it.”

Ron introduced himself, revealing their relationship. Keith responded with another zinger, “What took you so long?”

As they reminisced about nieces, nephews and cousins, names new to each of them, the phone rang. It was Keith’s daughter, Kim, who lives in Florida. “So, what are you doing?” she asked.

“Visiting with my half-brother.”

That’s when Kim learned her dad had a half-brother (sound familiar?).

Kim might have had a moment of brief concern about Keith’ faculties. Especially when he jokingly said, “Now the family fortune has to be split.”

As I interviewed Keith for this story, I asked how sure he was this whole thing wasn’t a scam. Then, I got a befitting final wisecrack from him: “Why would anyone admit to being my brother … if it weren’t true?”

Student raising awareness of genetic diseases

5

BUILD WITH THE BEST

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Only recently did Mt. Vernon middle school student Jakeb Henry step schools out of his comfort zone to educate the community on mitochondrial disease, which he is fighting.

In April, his peers fundraised to provide him with an experience of a lifetime.

Eighth-grade students at Mt. Vernon Middle School raised $1,700 to send Henry on two animal adventures – swimming with dolphins and painting with animals at the Indianapolis Zoo. Leftover money will be given to Henry and his family for books, as he loves reading history, and an annual membership of his choice of the Indiana State Museum, Eiteljorg Museum or the Indianapolis Zoo. Mitochondrial disease causes energy deficiency and lack of muscle strength, leaving sufferers unable to do daily activities and basic actions. Henry is receiving extra IV fluids to help him manage his pain. As a result, he has been able to attend school more often and is frequently able to stay throughout the entire school day.

Henry said he wanted to bring attention to various genetic diseases that kids all around the world struggle with, including ALS, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, Down’s syndrome, sickle cell disease and Huntington’s disease. Since, students at Mt. Vernon Middle School have been learning about them.

“The main point of the fundraiser is to make mitochondrial disease known to many, because for those who have it and don’t realize (it), it could be a big problem when it

does mature,” Henry said. “For me, it took 1 1/2 years until I knew I had this disease, not due to the symptoms, but due to the very slight twist in my spine, which I’ll have to have surgery on when I’m older. One and a half years is a long time for preparations and to just figure out what it was. The main reason I want to spread awareness for mitochondrial disease is to make what happened to me never happen again to someone else. I want to make doctors know the symptoms and the signs when a person has this disease and spread the news of this disease.

Hopefully, it will help us who have it have a chance of getting a cure in our lifetime and cure us from this miserable disease.”

Students win science fair

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Three eighth-graders at Fall Creek Junior High School recently took top honors at the accomplishment Hoosier Science and Engineering Fair. Vinay Krishnan and Shawn Narzaloo won first place for their project, “RealTime Facial Recognition Using Principal Component Analysis.” Elise Forbes won third place for her project, “The Effects of Neodymium Magnets on Planaria Regeneration.” All three will move on to the national competition, Broadcom MASTERS, in Washington, D.C. in September.

“This year we really incorporated what we call genius hour for the projects,” said Rachel Hiatt, an eighth-grade science teacher. “The students had one solid class period out of the week where they just focused on what they wanted to work on.

Basically, a science passion project. We told them if you want to do an experiment, do an experiment if you want to dig deep, and do a research project to do that.”

Krishnan and Narzalo received the U.S. Air Force Award for Science for their project.

After a May 9 joint meeting between Hamilton County commissioners and the Hamilton County Council, the county county has decided to put the expansion of the government and judicial center in downtown Noblesville on hold.

TOAST THE ARTS Toast the Arts is Arts for Lawrence’s oldest program. The series was established in 2008 with the idea that there would be events approximately four times each year.

“This Toast the Arts (May 31) is to celebrate the paintings done through our Arts

in the Park project, which is supported by the Indiana Arts Commission,” said Judy Bryon, Arts for Lawrence executive director. “They (gave) us a grant to do arts in the park, and we picked the Fort Harrison State Park.”

The workshop in plein air painting took place earlier this month and was led by professional artists Cheryl Lorance and Greg Corrigan. Participants spent time outdoors painting scenery in the park. All paintings were then submitted to Arts for Lawrence for public viewing at the Toast the Arts event.

“It is always free to the community,” Byron said. “The way it was designed was to showcase a visual artist, a performing artist and a culinary artist, so we find someone in the community to provide food and music.”

Toast the Arts will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at Theater at the Fort, 8920 Otis Ave. SUMMER CAMPS Offered four times through June and July, the Arts for Lawrence Summer Arts Camps are 1-week long and are for kids ages 6 to 14 to create visual art and take part in performing art.

Camps include: Amusement week, June 11-15: Featuring theater acts in mime and circus with Luis Oliva Exploration week, June 18-22: Featuring percussion instruments from around the world with Playground Productions Movement week, June 25-29: Featuring dance instruction with Dance Kaleidoscope Imagination week, July 9-13: Featuring songs and storytelling with OneVoice a capella and Storytelling Arts of Indiana Each camp will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Monday through Friday. Registration is now open. Kids are welcome to take part in multiple camp weeks. Cost is $125 for one week of camp.

Fridays at the Fort offer a free outdoor concert every other Friday through the summer for the community, along with a kids zone, beer tent and more.

Art for Lawrence’s kids summer camps teach visual and performing arts.

The Fort Ben Farmers Market will return June 7.

Special sessions Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The good folks at our Indiana Legislature have just completed a “special legislative session” of that august body. It seems that the governor convened the group because of work they did not complete before adjourning for the year. As might be expected, not everyone took the same view about the unusual move.

Some hold that the estimated $30,000 expense is unnecessary – especially since much of the money is going to the people who, as the argument goes, are responsible to have avoided the extension in the first place (incidentally, many legislators have publicly announced their intention to donate the added salary to their favorite charities). Others believe that this year was so abundantly important that it would have taken a Herculean effort to get the job done on time.

Without regard to the machinations of the political machinery of our fine state, one imagines the very notion of a do-over.

How would our lives be different if we could call a “special personal session” to rethink and correct our failures, regrets and short-comings? In a relationship gone awry, could we bring everyone back to “work it out?” In a failed business venture, could we return to the table knowing that we cannot leave until we find a resolution?

Would knowing that we had a failsafe only lead us into further brinksmanship?

Or, would understanding that some higher authority would call us to account for our failures keep us focused on the many tasks confronting us? Life rarely allows itself to be relived. If we fail, we live with the consequences. Yet, are we doomed only to our past self? Is it time for us to call a special session of our own?

I’ve made a radical observation, people: Grounding a teenager is like teaching a baby to sleep through the night. Here we go! humor One of my early goals as a mom was always to get my precious little infant to sleep a solid eight hours. To do so successfully required three to four nights of me fighting back high blood pressure and tears while my baby “cried it out.” Despite understanding the rationale for such cruel tactics, the urge to succumb to Mama Beardom was generally so great that my husband, Doo, would have to physically restrain me from “going in.”

Apparently, the tortuous wails of our offspring didn’t affect him. Monster. Of course, this maternal misery was quickly forgotten with the first night of uninterrupted sleep, praise Jesus, but each time I had to go through it, it was pure hell.

Enter grounding a teen. I know in my heart of hearts that when one of our highschoolers makes a poor decision, he or she must face the consequences. This is how they learn from mistakes and avoid adult incarceration. But it’s so much harder when they can argue their case and play the Unfair Card (which they know is my personal trigger). They barter and bribe and professionally manipulate until I’m ready to not only reduce their sentence but extend their privileges. Luckily, Doo isn’t fooled by this nonsense. Just as he did when they were newborns, he keeps me strong.

So, even though 75 percent of our kids can now drive, they will always be my babies. And sometimes, even when it’s difficult, I still have to let them cry it out.

You’re welcome. Peace out.

READER ’ S V I EW Congrats to primary election winners Editor, Congratulations, winners in the primary election! We thank you for representing your party and your shared ideas. We wish you success in the November election and hope that you accomplish your goal of serving the people of Indiana.

In addition, we thank the competitors in the Indiana primary who ran but did not win. You have made your party and your primary competitors stronger and better.

It is difficult to suffer a loss, but many, many successful politicians have suffered and survived to distinguish themselves in lives of public service. Whatever does not kill you makes you stronger!

The practice sprint has been run and now we must all unite, strategize and work together to win the important race — the November election. You have canvassed, campaigned, called and donated, but the struggle has just begun. We will

not stop running till the results come in on election night. Our toughest competitor is ourselves. We may accomplish whatever strength of mind and body, intellectual and physical effort, and the power of hope and the strength of our beliefs will allow till the time before Election Day runs out.

Lastly, candidates cannot compete without money! We must do what we can — outright contributions, fundraisers, coffees, meet-and-greets and donations in kind. Candidates should not be sent to the battle unarmed.

Candidates need letters to the editors and positive affirmation of them to your family, friends, coworkers and neighbors.

Everyone needs to be a part of the movement; that’s how we win!

Meditations on angry meditators Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’m under fire after a recent column I wrote about people who meditate. Here is an actual email I received: humor HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE MEDITATION! I WAS AN UPTIGHT ANGRY PERSON UNTIL I STARTED MEDITATING. YOU ARE REALLY TICKING ME OFF!!!!

OK, using all uppercase is not a capital offense (or maybe it is), but it did make me rethink my initial observations.To educate myself, I headed for a local health food market where they have a bigger selection of New Age magazines than granolas. I was trying to find the right publication, so I grabbed one called Mindlessness, which I thought would advocate for my personal lifestyle. When I got home I realized it was actually called Mindfulness, which was not something I was remotely interested in.

The publication was chock full of advice on how to focus, but experts also advised you should let your mind wander, so I became very confused. How can you do both? One writer claimed meditation goes back to the early shepherds in the Promised Land. While the shepherd was minding his flock, if he dozed off, his sheep would do the wandering

for him. There you go.

Most of the exercises can be done in the sitting position — exactly the kind of fitness program I was looking for. First, there is alternate nostril breathing: “Hold your right thumb over your right nostril, then release the right nostril and plug it with your pinkie.” I gave it a try, but my wife came in the room and caught me with my finger up my nose.

One yoga teacher advocates “holding your ears down with two fingers and gently pulling them away from your head at a 45-degree angle.” My wife caught me doing this, also, and told me to go back to picking my nose.

Another meditation guru suggests hiding your cellphone to achieve some peace. No problem: I can never find it, anyway.

Finally, “Plant a seed, water it daily and expose it to daylight. Then enjoy the beauty you will behold.” I did that with grass seed. We still have the worst lawn in the neighborhood.

I’m going to meditate on that.

Third time’s a charm

By Heather Lusk • editorial@youarecurrent.com Claire Kaufman is about to appear in her third production of “Annie” within the past year, but this time she’ll play the lead in full-length professional theater at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

Theater She’ll share the stage with friend Anna Wagner, whom she met when they played orphans in Carmel’s Civic Theater production of “Annie” in fall 2017.

“It’s pretty crazy because there were only a couple of us that got in (at Beef & Boards),” Kaufman said. “And, of course, we were the orphans that have the same birthday.”

The Zionsville residents recently turned 12 and celebrated their birthdays together.

This will be Wagner’s first professional production, but Claire got a taste for professional theater and a more grueling schedule in “Peter Rabbit” at the IRT. “I’m glad that I have a little head start,” Kaufman said.

Wagner and Kaufman will perform 46 shows of “Annie” from May 31 to July 15.

“I feel like it’s going to go really fast, though,” Wagner said.

Despite the busy schedule, Kaufman and Wagner look forward to spending spend time with the new friends they’ll make.

“The thing is that we get to hang out with our (school) friends every day,” Kaufman said. “The people (like Anna) you don’t see that often you get to hang out with.”

Wagner is cast as Pepper, one of the older and tougher orphans. Sadie Cohen from Carmel also is part of the cast.

The girls portraying orphans range in age from 8 to 13 and come from as far as Crawfordsville and Kokomo.

“Anytime we use local talent we’re always blown away by the level of talent we see,” said Eddie Curry, Beef & Boards’ artistic director.

Curry said the theater typically casts young local talent instead of bringing in performers because of logistical costs, but also because of central Indiana’s deep talent pool.

During auditions, Kaufman and Wagner said they felt nervous seeing other children with extensive theatrical experience.

“I was like, ‘These girls are so professional,’” Kaufman said.

While waiting for cast assignments, the girls were tasked with learning all lines and songs on their own before diving into two weeks of rehearsals prior to opening night.

Although she portrayed Annie a few months ago in an abbreviated version of Zionsville Middle School’s production, Kaufman has had to learn many new elements of the role.

“There’s actually more songs in the original one, more lines,” Kaufman said.

She’s been helped by her sister, Cynthia Kaufman, who is an actress and student at Zionsville Community High School. Cynthia has been part of the Beef & Boards family, having been an understudy to the Wednesday Adams character in “The Adams Family” several years ago.

Cynthia also inspired humility in her sister.

“I want to be the person who pushes others to try their best,” Claire Kaufman said. “I don’t like bragging because people don’t like it.”

The Bishops return to Fishers

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Bryan Bishop is glad his group, The Bishops, will be a return guest to Fishers’ Tuesday night summer concert music series.

“We absolutely love the venue and we savor the opportunity to get in front of four or five thousand people who would not normally see us at a bar,” Bishop said. “We are a wedding and corporate event band, so showcasing our show to all ages is key to our business growth.

The summer concert series, presented by IU Health Saxony, begins its 16th consecutive year in Fishers June 5 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. The Bishops will play July 10. The concerts are from 7 to 9 p.m.

“It differs in that we change the setlist to include the more family friendly, multigenerational, recognizable songs,” Bishop said. “We love playing to all ages. We will leave some of the harder rock tunes for the late night bar shows.”

A Carmel resident, Bishop will play at the Gazebo Concert Series’ 25th anniversary celebration Aug. 1 in Carmel.

Trumpet standout to perform

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Indiana Wind Symphony Artistic Director Charles Conrad figures concertgoers are in for a rare trumpet treat. concert “It’s not exaggerating to say Allen Vizzutti is one of the great trumpeters of history,” Conrad said. “He will be our trumpet soloist, and his wife (Laura) is a tremendous pianist and she will be our piano soloist.”

IWS presents “Trumpet Magic with Allen Vizzutti” at 7:30 p.m. May 25 at The Palladium.

Vizzutti performed with the IWS five years ago, Conrad said. This will be the first appearance on stage with IWS by Laura.

“Together they will do a piece that Allen wrote for them to perform with orchestras called ‘Gershwin’s Timeless Treasures,’” Conrad said. “It’s one they’ve done with orchestras around the country and probably in Europe as well.”

Conrad said it will include “I Got Rhythm,” “Fascinating Rhythm,” “Rhapsody in Blue” and some songs from “Porgy and Bess.”

Conrad said the Vizzuttis are huge IndyCar racing fans and will join him at the Indianapolis 500 May 27.

Blueprint for Improvement: Geist master suite remodel Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This 1980s home is in the Windjammer neighborhood near Geist. Although this is a very desirable area, the finishes of the home were dated and lacked appeal. Additionally, much of the space was functionally underutilized.

After

Before problems The master bathroom was the primary focus. It had plenty of space but lacked overall functionality. The cabinet storage was inadequate and the prefabricated shower was small. The floor was carpeted, which was a common trend in ’80s homes but not very practical.

The goal was to give the owners a new master suite that was modern yet timeless and get better utilization out of the space they had.

1. One major transformation came from removing the carpet and replacing it with a wood-look tile. This unique tile flooring is much more functional and visually appealing.

2. Another large impact came from updating all the cabinetry and adding an additional vanity space with custom cabinet accessories, like built-in laundry hamper storage.

3. Removing the shower and replacing it with a larger custom tile shower helped give the space a more updated look.

4. Replacing the tub and adding some detailed tile work and paneling helped create a cohesive design.

5. Additionally, fixtures, hardware and painting completed the look.

Don’t be so negative Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde National Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Touring Mesa Verde National Park Commentary by Don Knebel

There’s an old saying: Two wrongs don’t make a right. The idea is (for example) if your neighbor wrongs you by grammar guy borrowing your hedge clippers and forgets to return them, it doesn’t make things better to send a large, unwanted pizza delivery to his house so he has to pay for it. Those two negatives don’t make a positive. Also, it kind of makes you a jerk.

In English, two negatives actually do make a positive. Most of the time people don’t realize that using a double negative (also known as a negative concord) in a sentence implies the exact opposite of the speaker’s intention, technically speaking.

For instance: I don’t got no time for that. The person saying this probably means that they don’t have time for whatever “that” is, but by using “don’t” and “no” in the same sentence, these negative words cancel each other out to imply that the speaker does, in fact, have time Curtis Honeycutt is a freelance for “that.” In the same way, saying, “He’s not humor writer. Have a grammar question? Connect with him on going nowhere” implies that he is actually goTwitter @curtishoneycutt or at ing somewhere. It’s kind of confusing, and, to curtishoneycutt.com. be quite honest, it’s bad grammar. A nice way of saying this is the usage of double negatives in speech or writing is broadly CITY OF FISHERS considered nonstandard English.

Mesa Verde National Park, in the southwest corner of Colorado, includes remarkably well-preserved dwellings of people living in what is now North America hundreds of years before Columbus. travel More than 10,000 years ago, Native Americans began living in what is now the Four Corners region of the United States. Originally hunter-gatherers, they eventually established villages and cultivated corn. In about 600 A.D., a group now called the Ancestral Puebloans, perhaps to escape their enemies, began building villages atop a 7,000-foot-high plateau Spanish explorers named Mesa Verde (Green Table). They located their villages on ledges below overhanging rocks. By the 13th century, these cliff dwellers were constructing long-lasting structures made of sandstone blocks held together by mortar, with roofs made of wood. They erected stone towers as lookouts for unwelcome visitors.

Over time, about 600 cliff dwellings were built atop NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE Mesa Verde.

him while he deals with the unwanted pizza delivery). In many other languages (including Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Italian and Polish), double negatives are commonly used to intensify the implied negation. The two negatives create a snowball effect in the sentence, creating an emphatic, super negative.

Not only that, but certain dialects of American English employ double negatives in their vernacular to the same effect as the foreign languages I listed above. I suppose if you’re with a group of people who all understand what you mean when you use a double negative, then it’s acceptable, almost like special house rules in poker. However, in more formal settings, double negatives should be avoided.

When it comes to more buttoned-up situations (especially in important scenarios like job interviews and reciting wedding vows), you should avoid double negatives. After all, I think we could all benefit from a healthy dose of positivity.
