MVCSC enters into partnership with Hancock Health

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com The Mt. Vernon Community School Corp. recently announced its athletics partnership with Hancock Health for the naming of its artificial turf football field at Mt. Vernon High School.

A ribbon cutting for Hancock Health Stadium took place at the Aug. 31 home football game.

The district and Hancock Health have agreed to a 10-year deal for naming rights of the field. The deal also includes two digital, LED video scoreboards that will be installed in the high school gym this month. Hancock Health signage also will be placed throughout the district’s athletic facilities.

“We are thrilled and proud of our partnership with (MVCSC),” President and CEO of Hancock Health Steve Long said. “This collaborative effort with MVCSC allows us to continue our mission of healing, improving health and wellness, alleviating suffering and delivering acts of kindness one person at a time directly to the Mt. Vernon families and staff.”

“We are so very excited to enter into this

partnership with Hancock Health,” said Shannon Walls, MVCSC school board president.

“Our initiatives for our students and their goals for the community are well-aligned, as we both seek mentally and physically healthy students and staff.”

Recognition ceremonies for the debut of the new scoreboards in the high school’s main gym are scheduled for Sept. 20 during an MVHS volleyball game and Dec. 1 for a home basketball game.

Festival aims to expose kids and families to theater

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Now in its third year, Arts for Lawrence is again giving an opportunity for kids and families to be exposed cover story to the world of theater with the Sept. 15 Children’s Theatre Festival at the Fort.

Taking place at the historic Theater at the Fort, AFL’s home base at 8920 Otis Ave. in Lawrence, the daylong event will be centered on theater acts with the festival taking place around it.

“Last year, it was scaled down a lot, but this year we’re bringing it back really big,” AFL Program Coordinator Lecia Floyd said.

When the event launched in 2016, Arts for Lawrence was relatively new.

“We were just trying to come up with all the ways we could involve the community

in the arts,” Floyd said. “Growing up in the performing arts, I saw so many times where parents would drop their kids off and then leave, but we really wanted to make this a family oriented event so parents could come watch theater with their kids. We also wanted to provide something for kids who maybe haven’t been able to experience theater. This is a really cool and fun way, in short little bursts, for them to be able to experience it.”

For the first time, festival admission is free.

“The first years we did charge, but this year we didn’t want to do that because we wanted to make sure it was accessible for everyone,” Floyd said. “We do have a $10 suggested donation, but by no means does anyone have to do that.”

Theater performances from Theater at the Fort mainstays will anchor the event.

They are:

• Luis Oliva – Oliva teaches miming and puppetry at Theater at the Fort. He also is in charge of the theater’s circus club.

• Jamahl Keyes – Keyes will perform a magic act that combines magic with comedy and Motown music.

• Jason Adams – Adams is a puppeteer, storyteller and variety performer.

• Adam Riviere – Riviere is a world percussionist who invites kids on stage to learn about a variety of percussion instruments.

• Act A Foo – An improv group that will perform a kid-friendly show.

“There are a lot of interactive elements to it,” Floyd said. “It’s indoor and outdoor, so all of the theater events will happen indoors from noon to 6 p.m. Theater performances will run every hour on the hour for 30 to 40 minutes.”

Festival activities will continue while the theater acts are performaing.

“We’ll have different stations set up where there will be different art activities,” Floyd said.

Other features of the day include the Indianapolis Public Library Bookmobile, where kids can check out books; rock painting for rocks to be placed in the theater’s rock garden after a new patio area is built; outdoor yard games; food trucks; live music; puppetry; a dress-up trunk; and other activities.

“In planning this, the big thing was to make it as interactive and exciting as possible,” Floyd said. “There are lots of kids who think theater is boring or they’re scared to get involved. This kind of takes all of that away.”

The Children’s Theatre Festival runs from noon to 6 p.m.

Love for Doo and LBJ, too

ob s e r v ation

Hurry home Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

We all reach that tipping point in life – the one where our lives go from the endless activities of our children and families to more quiet times at home. Gone are the study tables and gym bags, replaced by empty rooms and open seats for evening meals. It is the natural way of things, but doesn’t make it easy. Rightly, the youngsters are filled with anticipation, and perhaps apprehension, as their lives lurch forward.

New sights, sounds, rights and responsibilities flood in and are processed and soon mastered.

Unmoving, our days shift little. We walk the same halls. We sit in the same chairs.

We live the same. Except, that the little ones that used to fill our homes with noise and joy are either away or cloistered in their rooms confronting the homework and required tasks of the coming day.

Flummoxed by the concern expressed by a younger sibling, a recently returning college student expressed her frustration, “Why does my little brother care so much that I’m gone? I’ll be back at Thanksgiving!”

True. But while the big sister’s days are filled with new and more, little brother is confronted with absence and less.

As summer smolders to an end and the streets are increasingly littered with falling leaves, we return to our winter cadence. We wake, and retire, at more consistent hours.

The sun streams in only as we are preparing for our days, and nightfall arrives hours before the nightly news. Even as we hope for the next chapter, we long for that which is forever passed. Yet, do we really want for things to stay the same? Isn’t the only thing worse than watching them mature and leave the house is having them not?

I never thought I’d be comparing my husband, Doo, to my president-crush Lyndon Johnson, but apparently once your life as a dance mom ends, you resort to humor weird topics.

As an American history teacher, I “fall in love” with historical figures all the time. Alexander Hamilton, Martin Luther King Jr., Ruth Bader Ginsburg – they each make my Top Five. But during the last few years, I’ve consistently come back to LBJ as my No. 1. The way the 6-foot4, foul-mouthed Texan, who came to the presidency in the wake of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, essentially bullied Congress into passing some of the greatest pieces of domestic legislation ever, and then crashed down amid the chaos and confusion of Vietnam, speaks to me in ways that other dead people, or soon-to-die people, don’t.

And I just now realized the reason I’m obsessed with LBJ is because I’m attracted to bad boys with good hearts. Case in point, my husband. The direct opposite of me, he drinks, occasionally smokes and can still party like it’s 1999. But he also isn’t afraid to fight for things he deems right. During Labor Day weekend, for example, one of our sisters-in-law returned from a walk, upset that some old lady had blocked her from going down a street which, though marked “private,” has always been open to the community. Doo was immediately up in arms, beer in hand of course. “Let’s protest! I’m going down there right now! Free the lane!”

Clearly, not as important as equality for all, but the passion is the same. And that’s why I love Doo (and LBJ).

Ugh, I miss dance.

Peace out.

READER ’ S V I E W

Much at stake in coming elections Editor, I recently watched a documentary about Roger Stone on Netflix. I strongly encourage everyone to watch this documentary to better understand how political decisions are made and how political action committees influence those decisions.

I believe we need to restructure political campaign financing. The indictments of members of the Trump campaign make it clear that “draining the swamp” needed to start with more careful vetting about who is on that team. We have people whom we did not elect spreading political messages and policies by using “dirty politics.”

People who voted for Trump will respond that “both sides” use political practices that are “dirty.” They will say that the Democrats have “extremes” with those with a “socialist” agenda, but I disagree. What is going on with our current administration is unique to our nation’s history. I don’t know of any other

presidency that had financial and political connections to Russia, with Russia working to influence how we vote. I see it as a calculated chipping away of our democracy - the very values we share as Americans.

We all want the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” We don’t want to be misinformed or played as puppets for those in power. We want all of our elected officials, regardless of party, to truly serve the public - working to do what is in the best interest for our health, wealth and well-being.

I will vote for Democrats I support in the mid-terms and in the 2020 election as long as they understand and treasure the Constitution and the rights it provides all Americans. I will vote for candidates who are not focused on their own fame and self-aggrandizement. Let’s vote for smart, decent, hardworking and ethical candidates. A lot is at stake.

The Wolfsie house is for sale, and we have settled into a new home just a few blocks away. This was a moving experience, to be sure, but there was humor nothing settling about it.

Prior to closing on the new house, we did something the builder calls a “celebration walk,” or our opportunity to nitpick every paint blemish, wobbly cabinet door and crooked electric socket before we coughed up the last portion of our down payment. My wife researched what to look for before we took possession. She wanted to ensure the structure’s soundness, and that there were no leaks or strange odors.

I’m not sure I could pass that test.

Our home of the past 35 years is going on the market. We consider ourselves neat and clean people, but when we started pulling furniture and appliances from against the walls, we found old keys, pennies and Bic pens everywhere. There were dog biscuits under the couch, and we haven’t had a dog dog five years. When we found a clean diaper behind the washer, I gave it to our 31-year-old son.

I told Mary Ellen every night for 35 years that I was tired and was going “up” to bed.

I couldn’t say that anymore because we don’t have a second level. Now I have to say, “I’m going across to bed.”

“That’s crazy, Dick. Just say ‘I’m going to bed.’”

“It’s a hard habit to break. It would be like all of a sudden having to say, ‘Good night, Vivian,’ instead of, ‘Good night, Mary Ellen.’ That’s why I’ll never remarry.”

The second evening, Mary Ellen caught me pacing, confused.

“What can’t you find, Dick? Glasses?

Phone? Wallet?”

“No, the bathroom. I keep turning the wrong way.”

We just enjoyed our first meal in our new kitchen. My wife asked, “Do you think we’ll ever move again?”

“Mary Ellen, this house will be perfect for us for another 30 years.”

Which was a subtle way of saying, “Over my dead body.”

Walking at moderate intensity – Everyone knows that walking is one of the easiest exercises to do. Researchers have recently learned that benefit of walking at an average pace—what fitness experts like to call “moderate intensity”—may get much greater as you age. This is good news because it means that as you age,

you don’t have to keep up a brisk pace to get the benefits of walking. So, if walking is getting harder, slow down a little and you will still benefit.

They defecate large amounts of histamine that remain behind long after the bugs are gone. This can severely aggravate allergies and asthma. There is no proven way to completely remove the histamine. The best approach is to prevent bedbugs in the first place. If you suspect an infestation, call a professional right away.

Rosemary Clooney

Jimmy Van Heusen

Marilyn Maye

Songbook Hall of Fame to honor Clooney, Van Heusen and Maye

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Great American Songbook Foundation Executive Director Chris Lewis, there were distinct reasons to start the Hall of Fame.

“The whole reason behind the Great American music Songbook Hall of Fame is really to honor those, first, who helped create the beginning of American popular music, and within that we try to always honor a songwriter, someone who helped create the soundtrack of our life,” Lewis said. “Then we try to honor an iconic performer who sang and performed the music and someone who is still carrying on the tradition of the Great American Songbook and music that lasts beyond the time it was written.”

Actress-singer Rosemary Clooney, Academy Award-winning songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen and cabaret and musical theater star Marilyn Maye will be inducted into the Hall of Fame Sept. 15.

Along with singer-actor Chris Isaak, Songbook Youth Ambassadors Finn Sagal (2017) and Lily Rasmussen (2018) will perform at the Songbook Celebration at 8:30 p.m. at the Palladium in Carmel.

Clooney, who died in 2002 at 74, is one of two legend award inductees. She will be represented by her brother, Nick Clooney, who is the father of actor George Clooney.

“Rosemary is one of the most recognizable voices in American popular music,” Lewis said. “Even those who aren’t familiar with her recordings know her from ‘White Christmas’ and her iconic film roles and duets with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby on the Nelson Riddle albums.”

Van Heusen is honored as the other legend award winner.

“He is a name people might not recognize right away but everyone knows his songs,” Lewis said. “He and one of his longtime writing partners, Sammy Cahn, wrote more than 80 songs recorded by Frank Sinatra. The songs he wrote are still used for commercials, movies and television shows.”

Van Heusen and lyricist Johnny Burke won an award for Best

Original Song for “Swinging on a Star” in 1944. Clooney later had a popular recording of the song as well. Van Heusen and lyricist Cahn won Academy Awards for Best Song for “All the Way” in 1957, “High Hopes” in 1958 and “Call Me Irresponsible.”

Van Heusen, who died in 1990 at 77, will be represented by his nephew Brook Babcock, president of Van Heusen Music Corp.

Maye, who is slated to attend, is still performing regularly at 90.

She plans to sing a few numbers.

“Maye is a powerhouse and was a recording star in the ’50s and ’60s,” Lewis said. “She has the distinction of having appeared on the ‘The Tonight Show’ with Steve Allen, and then Johnny Carson, more than any other singer in history. She appeared on the show 76 times.”

Maye recorded several albums for RCA Victor in the 1960s and performed in theater and supper clubs around the nation.

“When rock and roll came in and music tastes changed and supper clubs went away, she never stopped working, but not in as high-profile a setting until a few years ago when she was invited to sing at the New York Cabaret Convention and she brought the house down,” Lewis said. “She began performing all over New York and there was really a renewed interest in her style and her singing. I’ve seen her many times through the years. She sounds as good now as she ever did. She is our new standard award (recipient) because she is still carrying on the legacy.”

Under the theme “Swinging on a Star,” the Songbook Celebration begins with a 5 p.m. cocktail reception, followed by dinner in the concert hall, live auction, program and after-party. Tables seating four to 10 guests for the entire evening are available for purchase at SongbookGala@TheCenterPresents.org.

Tickets for the after-dinner portion start at $100. The tickets include gallery or box seating for the 8:30 p.m. Hall of Fame induction ceremony, followed by Isaak’s headline performance as well as admission to the all-inclusive after-party, with dancing and complimentary drinks and desserts in three uniquely themed rooms from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Carmel PorchFest will feature a variety of free musical acts, ranging from acoustic to electric, from 1 to 5:30 p.m. Sept. 16.

The first PorchFest was held in Ithaca, N.Y. in 2007. Since then, it has expanded to many cities across the U.S., with Carmel holding its first event in 2014.

There will be solo and ensemble performances at 20 different porches, with three acts on some porches and two on others.

The expected music performers will range from electric to acoustic groups, string quartets and garage bands.

The PorchFest area will be open to foot traffic only. The area is 1st Avenue NW and 2nd Avenue NW between 1st Street NW and 6th Street NW in Old Town Carmel. The area is between Range Line Road and the Monon Trail and north of Main Street and south of 136 Street/Smokey Row Road.

The event is staged by a large group of volunteers from Carmel and surrounding areas.

The schedule of performers and maps can be found at carmelporchfest.org.

Noblesville — “A Time to ReMember,” art pieces depicting scenes from yesteryear, will be on display at Nickel Plate Arts through Sept. 29. For gallery hours, visit nickelplatearts.org.

Fishers — Concerts on the Central Green features Phil Pierle at noon Sept. 12.

Zionsville — CV Art and Frame Gallery, 110 S. Main St., will hold public receptions from 5 to 8 p.m. Sept. 14 and 4 to 8 p.m Sept. 15 as part of an exhibit featuring works of Peter Max. Carmel — The Center for Creative Arts (CCA) Gallery, 111 W. Main St., Suite 135, will hold a 40th anniversary celebration from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 15.

Carmel — Midnight Noon will perform from 7 to 9 p.m. Sept. 12 at Summer Family Concert Series at the Gazebo.

Lady Antebellum set for Ruoff

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com In Lady Antebellum co-lead vocalist Hillary Scott’s view, Darius Rucker is the perfect touring partner. concert Lady Antebellum and Rucker’s Summer Plays On tour stops in Noblesville for a 7:30 p.m.

Sept. 14 performance at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center.

Scott said Rucker has been a musical hero to Scott and bandmates Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley for several years and became a good friend.

“It’s awesome to be able to be on tour with him and his camp,” Scott said. “Everyone is so kind and gets along great and has a blast. It carries into the live show, which is one of the most collaborative shows we’ve ever had.”

Typically, there are several spontaneous moments.

“One night Darius randomly walked out and did the guitar change for Dave, which was hilarious,” Scott said. “Our opener, Russell Dickerson, has so much energy and such great music. It’s a lot of guys, and I luckily get to be the only girl on the stage every night, which I take as a huge honor.”

“ Th

Scott said Rucker’s country solo career started around the same time Lady Antebellum was formed in 2006. Rucker gained fame as the lead vocalist for Hootie & the Blowfish.

Scott said they play three or four songs from their 2017 album, “Heart Break,” as well as other fan favorites.

Scott’s husband, Lady Antebellum drummer Chris Tyrrell, is taking the tour off to be with their three daughters, 5-year-old Eisele Kaye and twins Betsy Mack and Emory JoAnn, who were born in January.

Oates to perform at Butler

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The music of Mississippi blues artist John Hurt was rediscovered during the revival of folk music in the 1960s. concert That caught John Oates’ ear.

“I was very much into the folk music in those days. I saw (Hurt) at Philadelphia Folk Festival and various coffee houses around Philadelphia when I was a kid,” Oates said. “I was given a chance to play his guitar when it was given to my guitar teacher after he passed away (in 1966). I eventually bought that guitar that he played in the early ‘60s when he was rediscovered.”

Oates, who is accustomed to playing in large arenas and amphitheaters with his music partner Daryl Hall, will perform with The Good Road Band at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at Butler University’s 450-seat Schrott Center for the Arts in Indianapolis.

Oates recently wrapped up a Hall & Oates tour, playing in large arenas.

“I just spent five months on tour, playing in front of 10,000 and 15,000 people. You can’t compare that to almost anything,” Oates said. “The balance of having an inti-

mate connection with the audience where I can tell stories and put the songs into context and play a completely different style of music, it’s really great for me. It makes me feel good that I have people accept me on both levels. It’s grounding. It gives you a chance to kind of get your feet back on the ground.”

Oates is touring in support of his album, “Arkansas,” released in January.

Cory Gabel and Gregory Hancock collaborated on “The Casket Girls” for the first time in 2009, creating a one-act play.

Dance “From the get-go we knew we would expand it to a full-length play,” Gabel said. “After it ran we were definitely happy with it and the audience was, too. We wanted to expand it to a full play, but life and other projects got in the way.”

Now, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s full-length production of “The Casket Girls,” a modern gothic vampire ballet, is ready for its debut at 7 p.m. Sept. 21-22 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“I worked with Gregory to craft the story and characters, but my bigger role is the music,” said Gabel, a composer/musician from Simsbury, Conn.

Gabel composed the music.

“There is a little bit of vocals here and there,” Gabel said. “There is an alternative rock style and some orchestral parts, but it’s more rock ’n’ roll. With the vampire element, it’s meant to be an edgier, darker show.”

Gabel said apart from a few small tweaks,

Act I is presented as it was in 2009.

“Having a vampire as your main character, they don’t die,” Gabel said. “Act II we are leaping forward to the future. Act I roughly was in the 1750s, and Act II is now closer to modern times.”

The legend has “The Casket Girls” arriving in New Orleans in 1729. Hancock described the play as a fascinating tale of the origins of vampires in New Orleans.

Center says thanks Commentary by Jeff McDermott The 2018-19 performance season is kicking into high gear at the Center for the Performing Arts, but before palladium we get too far along, I want to thank the entire community for all the support that made this past season so successful.

The Center takes seriously its role as an economic catalyst for the City of Carmel and a gathering place for the central Indiana community. It is wonderful to see, after just a few years of operation, how local residents, organizations and businesses have embraced the Center as their own.

During the course of the 2017-18 season at our three venues, 106,450 patrons attended performances presented by the Center, its six resident companies and other arts groups. Those events included 88 Civic Theatre performances; 83 Actors Theatre of Indiana performances; seven Carmel Symphony Orchestra performances; and 16 performances by the Indiana Wind Symphony, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and Central Indiana Dance Ensemble.

Our own Center Presents series of 47 performances included 14 sellouts at the Palladium, with average paid attendance

increasing 40 percent from the previous year to 920 per event. Subscription sales rose by 23 percent, and first-time visitors accounted for a whopping 37 percent of our ticket sales.

Another key segment of our work in the community is providing education and enrichment opportunities for people of all ages. Last season, those efforts included scores of adult classes in dance, ukulele, speech, standup comedy and vocal performance; nearly 30 interactive music sessions for toddlers and preschoolers; three performing arts day camps; and seven school field trips in which hundreds of students visited the Palladium to explore principles of physics with the Center’s lighting and audio professionals.

Indeed, the Center for the Performing Arts is fulfilling the vision of local leaders who placed the arts at the core of their strategy for building a vibrant community, repeatedly ranked as one of the best places to live in America.

Jeffrey C. McDermott, the president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation, is an occasional columnist.

A favorite California winery Commentary by Elizabeth Morse On one of my first trips to Napa Valley, I was lucky to be a guest at Trefethen Family Vineyards. I stayed in WINEderlust their charming guesthouse and enjoyed delicious wine, French Laundry coffee, an enormous hawk that hung out on the deck and knowing that Julia Child also had stayed there. I fell in love with the property and always offered their wine at my restaurant.

This year, Trefethen is celebrating 50 years as one of a few remaining family owned wineries. They grow their grapes and bottle their wines on the estate in the Oak Knoll District. Here are my suggestions: 2017 Trefethen Dry Riesling is always a crowd-pleaser. It isn’t sweet, but the bright fruit offers peach, honey and grapefruit flavors, which gives an impression of sweetness – a perfumey, feminine style. The winery suggests dishes like lemon chicken and seared tuna, while I enjoy it most with Indian food. I dig it with chicken paté and ginger snaps, too. Around $26.

Normally, I don’t love Merlot, but Tre-

fethen’s 2015 is stylistically correct (ahhh!) and elegant. You’ll notice flavors like fresh raspberry and black pepper: silky and sexy.

If you ever grab a BBQ pizza at Some Guys (Indianapolis or Carmel), this wine will turn it into a fancy occasion. Could be pretty perfect with lasagna or a chocolate desert, too. Around $40 I encourage you to splurge on the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s a little spendy but hey, you’re worth it. For special evenings featuring red meat (think steak au poivre or filet), it’s spot-on. The aromas of chocolate, coffee and brambly fruit are a bit of a surprise when you taste cherry pie in your glass, distinct oak, a little tannin and a lot of supple. Around $60 Let me know what you think, and cheers!

Joe’s Next Door Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 111 W. Main St. #110, Carmel What to get: Debris Po’ Boy Price: $10.99 Anna’s take: Joe’s Next Door is an extension of Joe’s Meat Market in downtown Carmel. The business is a cross a between a deli, local grocery and meat and seafood market. Joe’s Next Door offers hot and cold sandwiches with deli-style sides sold by the pound. I ordered the Debris Po’ Boy, a fusion of a traditional New Orleans po’ boy with spicy remoulade and seasonings with Indiana beef braised in a strong IPA called All Day IPA from Founders Brewing Co. A 5-ounce portion of the braised beef is sandwiched between two airy slices of French batard bread and topped with sunshine yellow heirloom tomatoes, pickled red onions and romaine lettuce. A garlic aioli is smeared on the bottom slice of bread. Remoulade is spread on the top slice. The bread is toasted on the bottom to add a nice crunch, but it maintains its airiness throughout. The New Orleans-style

The Debris Po’ Boy is a Midwestern twist on a New Orleans favorite.

remoulade gives the sandwich a hearty kick of heat. Those with a more sensitive palette can request less remoulade. The sandwich is wrapped in foil and served hot.

Joe’s Next Door is the perfect place to grab a couple of the cold sandwich options and items from its fresh market and head to a local park for an afternoon picnic.

Suggested pairings: A side of the cold street corn salad ($7.99 a pound) pairs excellently with the Debris Po’ boy. The corn salad is similar to elote, or Mexican street corn, but less messy because it has already been shaved off the cob. The salad is a creamy mix of sour cream and sweet corn, which pairs well with a little spice from diced jalapenos. Other ingredients include bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, cumin and paprika. Since the Debris Po’ boy beef is braised in the craft beer, pair the sandwich with a bottle of the IPA, also sold at Joe’s Next Door.

Behind bars: White Russian Get it at Sun King Spirits, Carmel Ingredients: 2 oz. OYO honey vanilla bean vodka, 2 oz. bourbon cream liqueur, Hubbard and Cravens coffee sphere Directions: Place frozen coffee in glass. Add bourbon cream liqueur and honey vanilla bean vodka.

Blueprint for Improvement: Fishers basement fit for a sports fan Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

After

Background info: This home in the Arbor Glen neighborhood of Fishers was still in great condition, but the basement needed some attention. The home was built in 2012. Although the basement was already finished, the owner was looking for a more custom design.

Before problems

After solutions The goal was to transform the existing basement into a more inviting space where the homeowner can entertain guests.

1. The largest transformation came by creating an entertainment system that allowed watching three sports games at once. Builtin cabinetry was added for storage.

2. In addition, the unfinished area of the basement was transformed into a home theater, making it a perfect place for large groups to gather.

3. There also were several updates made to the basement bar, including new cabinetry and replacing the upper cabinets with floating shelves, making the space feel more open.

4. Additionally, the bar backsplash was replaced with a geometric vinyl wallpaper adding visual interest to the space.

5. New luxury vinyl flooring was added throughout the lower level.

The original basement was only partially finished and felt very dark and crowded.

The unfinished portion was not being utilized by the homeowner. Space for entertaining guests was limited and there weren’t clearly defined spaces.

Mushrooms in the meadow Commentary by Don Knebel Since February 2012, I have written about places I have visited. For this column, No. 300, the distance traveled was about 100 yards. travel In the spring of 2009, my wife Jen and I closed on a small cabin in the woods of Brown County and immediately left for Turkey. Upon our return, we began exploring the areas around our cabin, one of which is a grassy hilltop area surrounded by trees. I call this our “meadow,” a word I learned as a toddler from “Little Boy Blue, Come Blow Your Horn” and had no chance to use since.

In the meadow, we found what looked like mushrooms, but they were bright yellow. We both thought that all mushrooms were either brown or white. As we walked around our meadow, we found more brightly colored mushrooms, red ones and blue ones and purple ones and orange ones and green ones and pink ones. We also found white mushrooms covered with black spots and black mushrooms covered with white spots. Some mushrooms were shaped on top like pancakes and others looked like tiny parasols. Both of us NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Docket No. SE-16552 The Fall Creek Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a public hearing on the 27th day of September, 2018 at the Fishers City Hall, One Municipal Drive, at 6:00 p.m. The Application submitted by Rick Lawrence of behalf of Legacy Bible Church is requesting a Special Exception to allow for a place of worship use on a property zoned R2 Residential.

Adverbs and sandwiches Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Mushrooms in Don and Jen Knebel’s Brown County meadow. (Photos by Don and Jen Knebel)

took dozens of pictures of our discoveries. Every year since, our colored mushrooms have reappeared in about mid-June and disappeared about a month later. If the summer is wet enough, as it has been this year, they reappear.

We have learned more about colored mushrooms. There are many varieties in addition to the ones in our meadow and they all have names. Some colored mushrooms are edible and some can kill and there are no easy rules for determining which are which. We have learned something else from our mushrooms. We can always make discoveries traveling around the world, but we also can make discoveries just by paying attention to what is in our own backyards.

Adverbs are like sentence mustard. They add flavor and intensity to otherwise plain word sandwiches. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, grammar guy adjective, another adverb, or an entire sentence or clause. Most of us think of adverbs being words that always end in “ly.”

The fact is, many adverbs do end in “ly.”

On the other hand, there’s a long list of adverbs that do not end in “ly.” Keep these words in mind the next time you play Mad Libs on a road trip — they include afterward, never, next, often and almost. These adverbs are like the honey mustard of sandwich condiments — you might not even think you’re eating mustard because they’re so sweet and discreet.

Adverbs never modify nouns — that’s a job strictly reserved for adjectives. Adjectives are like sentence cheese to the noun’s meat; they make sure the adverb doesn’t touch the noun.

Adverbs give additional information about when, where or how something happens. How did Kenny run?

Kenny ran quickly. When did Byron start doubting the moon landing? Byron started doubting the moon landing yesterday.

Once you start noticing adverbs, you’ll see them everywhere. It’s kind of like buying a car — prior to buying the car, you don’t notice many of the same models on the road, but after you buy it, you see your same car everywhere. Just be careful to not spill any mustard on your new interior.
