White River Vision Project progressing, nearing action phase By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Tourism President/CEO Brenda Myers is bullish environment about the future of the White River. “White River is central Indiana’s next frontier,” Myers told a OneZone audience March 13 at the Forum Conference Center in Fishers. “It’s timeless and contemporary. The river sets us apart as communities who can work together to realize big dreams. It supports healthy neighborhoods and economies. It honors the past and improves the lives of Hoosiers for years to come.” The White River Vision Project is a collaboration between Indianapolis and Hamilton County Tourism in partnership with Indianapolis’ philanthropic arm, Tourism Tomorrow. The plan is to enhance the 58 miles of the White River in Marion and Hamilton counties. Myers said more than 100 people are serving on task forces. “Last year in northern Hamilton County, 20,000 people canoed on the upper portion of the White River,” Myers said. “The fishing is really good, just catch and release.” Myers said the project is nearing its action phase, testing ideas from the last nine months. There are nine guiding principles, which are listed on the website, mywhiteriver.com. The chief one is restoring the river’s environment and ecology to enhance its natural function. “Another is to watch that river health closely. Who wants to get into a dirty river?” Myers said. Another is to increase year-round activities to attract people to the river for arts and entertainment, recreation and learning. “There are so many stories about people who lived on the White River in early times,” Myers said. “These stories need to be told.” Conner Prairie President/CEO Norman Burns said there has been a lot of discussion about how Conner Prairie takes advantage of the resource of 3.3 miles of the river

running through the property. “In our master plan, we have 7 miles of new trails with several access points across the river,” Burns said. “That’s just one element where the White River is part of the master plan.” Emily Mack, director of Indianapolis Metropolitan Development, explained the White River’s Indianapolis history, dating to 1870. “There was an ordinance that factories and rivers be located on the river — the oil canneries, the slaughterhouses and meat packing facilities,” Mack said. “By law, they were required to dump all of their industrial waste into the river. Although there weren’t a lot of autopsies done at the Central State Hospital, there was actually a drain that went from Central State Hospital into the White River. By 1915, the river was so disgusting, so polluted that a state senator went to the Statehouse and said it was ridiculous (Indianapolis) has to build a sewer system.” Now 104 years later, Mack said officials are just now solving the problem to contain the overflow of sewage. “So (that) when we have flood events, we’re literally not dumping raw sewage into the river,” Mack said. “So by 2025, we have this amazing opportunity in Indianapolis. For the first time in Indianapolis history, we will be able to engage and embrace the White River like we never have before.”

Rize announced for The Yard at Fishers District news@currentinfishers.com On March 19, Thompson Thrift Retail Group announced Cunningham Resdining taurant Group’s Rize will join the culinary lineup at The Yard at Fishers District at 116th Street and IKEA Way.

When Curt Tappendorf purchased the old building at 12125 new in town Cyntheanne Rd., Fishers, he didn’t know its history. He and his wife Sarah were planning to rent it out as a home until they learned the building’s origins. It was constructed in 1901 as Schoolhouse 7. Now, the Tappendorfs plan to turn the building into a coffeehouse called Schoolhouse 7 Café that pays homage to its past by keeping the schoolhouse feel and offering community learning opportunities. The Tappendorfs met with Tim Mankin, the principal of HSE Intermediate and Junior High School, which sits across the street from Schoolhouse 7. Mankin informed the family about the schoolhouse’s past and provided a binder of information he received from Dr. George Underwood, who was a student at the school from 1933 to 1940. The binder contained items like report cards and schoolhouse photos. Underwood, 92, is one of three previous Schoolhouse 7 students still living. He lives in Florida. The Tappendorfs decided to include him in their plans for the café. “We did get in touch with Dr. George Underwood,” Curt said. “He came down to us and met with us on-site at the end of last year. He walked us every square inch of that property and told us where he sat, where the horse and buggy dropped (the students) off every morning, where the girls and boys outhouses were.” The Tappendorfs plan on opening the café July 7 in recognition of No. 7 in the schoolhouse’s name. The school was the seventh

one-room schoolhouse built in Fall Creek Township. The café will be two stories. Orders will be placed on the first floor, where there will be seating and an outdoor patio area. Drive-thru service also will be available. On the second floor, there will be a large community-style table constructed out of the schoolhouse’s original floor joists. The original wooden floor planks will be used as the face of the coffee bar. For Sarah, a fourth-grade teacher at Geist Elementary, the education component brings the project full circle. She plans for the café to provide Hamilton Southeastern Schools students with a creative outlet. “It’s an opportunity to have real students work in here to keep that school theme,” Sarah said of the community-based learning environment planned for the café. “There will be a designated spot to have kids’ artwork. If they put together writing pieces or books with a bookshelf display, it feels more like a real audience and authentic spot to show their work.” Curt said Underwood has been a continuing source of encouragement. “I think it’s a great idea to preserve something, and it’s personal to me,” Underwood said. “To preserve it that way and get it going, I think will be a great idea.” Underwood said he’s visited the schoolhouse a few times recently to help the Tappendorfs form an idea of what the inside looked like when it was a school. “I’m trying to help out to give an idea of what that would be like as far as the inside, such as where we put our coats and where we put our boots and that type of thing,” Underwood said.

By Sara Baldwin Schatz sara@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County’s Community Opioid Prevention Effort has launched a quick response team, a new approach to aiding members of the community battling addiction, specifically those revived from an overdose. Local leaders and first responders gathered at a March 11 press conference at the Hamilton County Courthouse to announce the initiative. “We hope to reduce opioid abuse, provide resources to patients that have experienced an opioid overdose and ultimately give them the treatment services needed for their recovery,” said Monica Greer, executive director of the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs. Effective immediately, the COPE Quick Response Team will initiate contact with overdose survivors within 24 to 48 hours of emergency treatment. A peer recovery specialist and team of health professionals will visit the individual to assess overall health and connect them with recovery options. The team also will provide family members with a Narcan kit and training. “I am so pleased to see these communities begin to address this from a prevention standpoint,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said. “The hard part about prevention is it’s not very sexy. It doesn’t make the front-page news. But the good news is that it works.” Whether illegal or prescribed, the misuse of opioid drugs such as heroin, fentanyl and hydrocodone, among others, can be deadly because they affect the brain’s ability to regulate breathing. Although Hamilton County is among the wealthiest counties in Indiana, its residents are not immune to the effects of the nationwide opioid epidemic. The county had 38 confirmed overdose deaths in 2018 and 459 overdose calls to 911 dispatch. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said part of being a top-notch city is ensuring all community members are provided the best services available. “Addressing the various issues that come with opioid addiction will help all members of our community stay safer,” Brainard said. The Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addictions awarded grants of $50,000 each to the Carmel and Westfield fire departments, chosen because of their integrated health programs. The Bureau of Justice As-

sistance also awarded a countywide grant of $490,343 to expand the response team to the rest of Hamilton County in 2019. COPE’s lynchpin is its connection to ASPIRE, a fully integrated health system that offers both health and social services and addresses behavioral health, primary care, substance-use disorders and more. Barbara Scott, president and CEO of ASPIRE, said although the company employs physicians, psychologists, social workers and other professionals, research shows the best person to engage those experiencing addiction is someone who has been through it. COPE Peer Recovery Specialist Ann Skinner plans to fill that role when establishing contact with overdose survivors. She said she has different legal boundaries than a physician or social worker. “I can relate and tell someone my story,” Skinner said. Sgt. Billy Adams of the Westfield Police Dept. said the department wants people experiencing addiction to know the police are there to help and not always to arrest them. “We’re starting to learn that with the opioid epidemic being as unique as it is, the traditional tough-love approach of arrest and re-arrest is not always the answer and it’s not always working,” Adams said. Bruce Frost, mobile integrated health coordinator for the Carmel Fire Dept. and coordinator of Carmel’s COPE Quick Response Team, said the county plans to delay drugrelated charges for those willing to enter the program. If they complete the program, it can be a mitigating factor in sentencing.

Ed Hardwidge sees the value of bridge keeping the mind sharp recreation for retirees “Here you are forced to do math in your head and remember a whole bunch of numbers,” said Hardwidge, a Carmel resident. “It is the hardest thinking you do all week.” Indianapolis Bridge Center board member Joyce Pepple, a Lawrence resident, said there is evidence bridge is good for memory. “Stimulating your brain and activity is also good for your physical health,” Pepple said. “The majority (of our participants) is 50-plus, so we’re looking for those empty nesters or people who lost their spouse who might be staying at home when they could be at the Bridge Center where they could be having fun.” Hardwidge, 72, plays twice a week at the Indianapolis Bridge Center. Hardwidge has been playing at the center since he retired in 2011, Hardwidge has made friends to play with at the center, which has more than 800 members. Non-members can play at the

Some people come really dressed up and some wear sweatsuits and flip flops.

When a friend reached out to Hamilton Southeastern High School donation Junior Hayden Sisemore about a potential graphic design volunteer opportunity, he saw it as a chance to help a good cause and took on the project. The project involved designing buttons to raise awareness for recent research that correlates real or perceived pet abuse and intimate partner violence. The research was conducted out of Indiana University. “I love graphic design, so I thought it was nice to mix a kind deed with something I love,” said Sisemore, who designed the buttons free for the Julian Center, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit that helps and empowers victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and other life crises. “Pets can be both a lifeline for people who are involved in violent relationships, and they also are too often used as tools and weapons as a way for abusers to control victims in violent relationships,” Julian Center President/CEO Catherine O’Connor said. “The buttons evolved as a way to (raise awareness) of the issue and concern about

this problem and get people to understand.” The Julian Center works with central Indiana animal welfare organizations to develop relationships which may lead to the organizations temporarily housing animals when there is a violent relationship situation. O’Connor said the Julian Center receives at least two or three calls a week from victims who are concerned about a pet. “We thought it was a great way to engage young people,” O’Connor said about using Sisemore’s services. “Young people are so fabulous in so many ways. They really have a special way of articulating an issue and bringing in a new perspective.”

GEIST • The Indiana Dept. of Transportation is installing new flashers at Ind. 234 and Fortville Pike. The intersection is already equipped with a four-way stop and flashing red lights on top of the stop signs. The new flashers also signaling the four-way stop will be installed above the middle of the intersection. Construction should be complete by late spring. No closures are expected. • Indianapolis Dept. of Public Works is currently on Phase II of the 82nd Street Widening and Improvement Project. Phase II stretches from Lantern Road to Fall Creek Road. Lane closures may occur. The project includes resurfacing, addition and repair to sidewalks and curbs, new travel lanes, access ramps, drainage repairs and bridge maintenance. Phase II construction began in the spring and should be complete by fall 2019. FISHERS • Periodic lane restrictions will be in effect on 96th Street between Lantern Road and Cumberland Road through March. These restrictions will be short term in order to drop trees for the roadwidening project. Flaggers will be in place to help direct traffic. • Southbound and northbound traffic on Allisonville Road is now on newly constructed pavement. This will remain the traffic reconfiguration as construction continues into spring 2019. The speed limit is 30 mph. • Construction work has begun on Ind. 37. Construction vehicles will use the construction entrance on Lantern Road between 126th and 131st streets, which may cause short delays. There currently are no scheduled lane restrictions. CARMEL • Lane restrictions are under way near Keystone Parkway and 96th Street, where a new roundabout interchange will be built. Construction is expected to last through the year. • Construction on a new access ramp from Lowes Way to Keystone Parkway is ongoing. NOBLESVILLE • Work is ongoing on the Logan Street Pedestrian Bridge Project in downtown Noblesville. The northbound lane of Ind. 19 between Ind. 32 and Logan Street will be closed the duration of the project, through September. The detour consists of taking Ind. 32 westward, turning

northbound onto Ind. 38, then eastbound on Logan Street and northbound on Ind. 19 to avoid the closure. On Logan Street, the designated westbound right turn lane on the bridge will become a combined straight and right-turn lane. The eastbound straight lane will be shifted north, and the south side of the bridge will be under construction. The Riverwalk near this area also is closed. WESTFIELD • If you see a pothole, let Westfield crews know by reporting it online at weconnect.westfield.in.gov and visiting the Reporting It tab. • Phase 5 of the Monon Trail will be a pedestrian bridge crossing Ind. 32. Construction is under way, and temporary lane closures may occur along Ind. 32. The Monon Trail is closed near Ind. 32 until the bridge is complete. ZIONSVILLE/WHITESTOWN • Nearly complete, the Main Street bridge improvement project will provide a 10-foot, multi-use path on each side of the bridge over Eagle Creek, along with a scenic overlook bump-out on each side. Decorative flower planters are planned in the spring to increase the aesthetics. The bridge project is mostly complete, and the only remaining items are some pavement repairs on the road at each end of the bridge. No closures are expected, but there will be lane restrictions and flagged traffic control. • The closure of Zionsville Road is scheduled to begin April 1. This reconstruction project involves the widening of a one-mile section of Zionsville Road, converting it from its current two-lane configuration to three lanes by widening the existing lanes and adding a center turn lane between Technology Center Drive and 106th Street. The project also includes adding a 10-foot, multi-use pathway along the entire length of the project on the west side of the road. There also will be a 10-foot, multi-use pathway on the east side of the road from Inglenook and Zionsville Cemetery north to 106th Street. The road will be closed to through-traffic beginning April 1 in order to minimize cost and project duration. The closure is expected to continue through November. Local access for residents to and from homes and businesses will be from the north end of the project. No traffic will be permitted south of the Vonterra subdivision entrance.

Infrastructure improvements City of Lawrence focuses on high crime, older areas By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

As a byproduct of reinvesting in infrastructure in older cover story areas of Lawrence, the City of Lawrence also may see a reduction in crime and other benefits. Challenged areas like the northeast corner of 42nd Street and Post Road is what Lawrence Police Dept. Deputy Chief Gary Woodruff calls “a crime magnet.” California-based developer Dan Penn purchased the 3-acre area in June 2018. Since then, he transformed the Pinnacle Square apartment complex into Maison Gardens and added an increased security presence with cameras, gates and better lighting. He also razed the 42nd Street Studio apartments and wants to attract a grocery store to the area. “It doesn’t come as easy as you think trying to convince potential tenants to move over here,” Penn said. “I have literally been begging to get tenants to consider this spot. It’s a rough area.” If Penn is unsuccessful in attracting a grocery store, the area is zoned for mixed use. But Penn said a grocery store could benefit from the apartment foot traffic, especially since the nearest grocery is several miles away. “There has been a tremendous amount of investment in that property, which is very beneficial to helping resolve crime issues that are, and were, occurring,” Woodruff said. “Video surveillance is hugely helpful to public safety and law enforcement. If a crime does occur (in Maison Gardens), we can almost real-time access that video. Having that is evidence to refer to a suspect or see a crime occur on video, or running or fleeing in a car.” Mayor Steve Collier said with Penn’s investment at 42nd Street and Post Road,

the city already is seeing benefits and improvements in terms of economic development safety. One example is Post Road Laundromat, which opened at 4214 N. Post Road. It replaced a bar that previously operated in the building and attracted crime. Collier said when the Purple Line bus rapid transit system is built, it will travel along Post Road, which will spur more economic development on both sides of the bus route. However, improving the older areas of Lawrence means city staff will target more than just the high-crime areas. Next on Collier’s list is the west side of Lawrence, which has the city’s oldest infrastructure, including the oldest water main and oldest sewer. The oldest sections date to the 1950s. “That’s an area I have the highest frequency of water main failures,” Utility Supt. Scott Salsbery said. Two major projects are in the design phase and will go to bid this summer. They are at the Brookhaven subdivision and the 47th Street and Richardt Street areas. A project to replace a section of water main on Franklin Road from 47th Street to 45th Street will go to bid this summer, too. The water main replacement program was made possible by the 2017 rate increase. Water mains will be replaced each year, with priority placed on older mains in poorer condition with higher failure rates. “I think we are doing the best job we can with managing our money,” Collier said. “It’s about prioritizing. You need to know where you put your money. A city is a lot like a house, and as long as you keep up your house, cut your grass and live in it, your house is going to stick around for awhile. But if you abandon it or vacate it, the house falls apart. You can only maintain it for so long with no money.”

New playground structures were recently installed at Veterans Memorial Park. (Submitted photo)

reinvesting in the parks As part of its reinvestment efforts, the City of Lawrence also increased its parks department funding. Parks Supt. Eric Martin said the department’s annual budget has been as low $800,000. Now, it’s approximately $1.4 million. The department saw its first increase in 11 years in 2017. Prior to that, the budget remained stagnant or dropped. At its lowest, Martin said the department

operated more in “Band-Aid mode.” When there weren’t enough funds to replace aged-out playground equipment, for example, a fresh coat of paint would be applied instead. With more funds for the parks department, two new playground structures were installed at Veterans Memorial Park, 12150 East 62nd St.

Treasured trinkets

Doomsayers ignore common sense

Commentary by Terry Anker Those of us who have occasion or obligation to travel with some regularity are confronted with the routine dilemma of what, if anything, to bring family, friends and colleagues to express that they have been remembered during the absence. Airports and road-side convenience stores are filled with trinkets and talismans proclaiming that the bearer has some connection to the place in question. Tshirts and snow globes are transported from coast-to-coast and hemisphere-to-hemisphere bearing status and affection. As the years roll by, the collections build and shelves are filled with endless kitsch and ephemera. Many years ago, an autobiographical magazine essay shared the story of a now middle-aged writer who’d been the benefactor of his own traveling father’s largesse. In this case, the dashing dad would bring home miniature containers of shampoo from each hotel of his travels for his thenelementary school-aged son. The youngster found charm in their tiny size. As time passed, he lost interest, even found contempt for the “cheap” tokens. But years after his father’s passing, he still had scores of the diminutive plastic bottles. They came to represent something more. They connected him, across the miles and the years, to these simple, perhaps silly, gifts from papa. Certainly, grand gesture and great expense could express affection. But can the smallest kindness, executed without fail, and offered with great and earnest sincerity, become that which we treasure most? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Can you Trump my view? Commentary by Danielle Wilson Several readers have accused me of making passive-aggressive comments about the president without providing humor evidence. Fair enough. In their emails, they also resorted to pointing the finger at others rather than defending Trump, which, if having been a mother for 20 years has taught me anything, means they cannot. The real question for me is, and I’m not being trite here, how can anyone still support him as the moral leader of this nation? I understand why Democrats do not. He goes against everything that more liberalminded people stand for – open immigration, gun control, carbon reduction, equitable access to education, to name a few (though he does spend like a Democrat! Per the CBO, the federal deficit is projected to increase by another $100 billion this year. That alone should have more fiscally minded Americans completely losing their shtick).

But how can anyone, particularly Republican females, continue to support a man who clearly does not respect women? I can chalk up his name-calling of Hillary Clinton as campaign mudslinging, but his total discount of Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony should have been a red flag to all Americans that Trump does not believe women are deserving of equal treatment. And the fact that he refused to condemn the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, which ended with the murder of Heather Heyer, is reprehensible. Disagree with me? Then defend him. I would love to learn that he is actually a good person. Peace out.

Q U O T E  O F   T HE WEEK “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” -Theodore Roosevelt

Editor, In the ‘70s, it was the threat of an ice age. That failed to catch on, so next it was global warming. That, too, failed to gain traction, so it became climate change, all governmentdirected with “experts” in tow. There are two words that people need to remember and use – common sense. Scientists, some of the same the government has on board, estimate Earth’s age at 4.5 billion years. During that time, scientists say the Earth has experienced many episodes of extreme heating and cooling, all at a time (when) there were no humans! Common sense and another word, logic, tell you that humans do not cause climate change of any kind. But the doomsayers ignore this most important fact. Could there be an agenda here? By politicians? No way! Experts? There are just as many that say there is no climate change. There are many more who say that if there is climate change, it wasn’t caused by humans. You can find (buy) experts to support just about any theory or cause. I know, I saw it frequently before I retired from being a trial attorney. Common sense and logic, when all else fails, use it. The world might not end in 12 years. George Cottrell, JD, Fishers Editor’s note: This letter is in response to a March 5 letter written by Steve Simon about the Green New Deal.

Virtues of grumpiness

Do You Know M4L is for Adults of All Ages? At Motion 4 Life Fitness, our members range in age from their thirties to their eighties.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Humor is helpful in combatting stress, but I believe grumpiness has its virtues as well. I’ll outline some things humor that make me grouchy. They might be small, insignificant annoyances, but those are the best ones to get cranky about. I save humor for when I really need it. I am tired of my Facebook notifications telling me things like: Suzanne Crowder has commented on Joe Rosen’s post about Bill Roman’s meme. I don’t know Suzanne, Joe or Bill. How annoying is that? No comment. My wife and I are planning a trip to Peru. I signed up for the language instruction app called Babbel. They sent me directions … in French. Merci d’avoir choisi Babbel. Voici quelques instructions pour faciliter le processus. That’s great — now I have to take French, also. I want hand dryers in public bathrooms banned. They do not dry your hands. They blow air on your fingers. When I leave public bathrooms, my wife always asks me, “Why are your hands in your pockets?” Because they are still wet. I’m tired of getting emails that say, You have won a free $100 Walmart gift card. No, I haven’t. I have won the privilege of answering endless marketing questions so they can hook me up with people trying to sell me stuff. Does anyone ever get a $100 gift card? No clue. After the 60th or 70th question, I always give up. I want there to be a law stating the number 0 and letter O can’t be used in passwords, because I can never tell the difference. I asked 9 or 1O people and it’s amazing h0w many agreed with me. Finally, I am tired of my computer taking a siesta when I want to print something. I press the button, and nothing happens except for bizarre clanking and groaning. My computer repairman says the printer is “thinking” (maybe it is thinking about why it cost only $69 but each ink refill is $80). I press it several more times. It’s still thinking, so I go to bed. Next morning, I have a neat stack of 35 copies — 34 more than I wanted.

Gregory Hancock debuts ‘Exodus’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Gregory Hancock decided to put “SUPERHERO” on hiatus this year, he was determined to create a comDance plementary piece. “SUPERHERO” details the story of Jesus Christ. Now, Hancock has focused on the first half of the Bible. Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will present “Exodus” for the first time at 7 p.m. April 5 and 6 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. It’s inspired by the book of Exodus, the second book of The Torah and Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). It tells the story of the Israelites’ departure from Egypt, led by the prophet Moses through the wilderness to the Promised Land. “It’s probably my most important piece I’ve done in a long time on so many levels,” said Hancock, executive artistic director and founder of GHDT. “Not just dance-wise, choreographically or musically, but the themes and issues and relevance because we really haven’t learned from history.” Hancock is not using biblical names, thus Taylar Green is cast as The Chosen instead of Moses. “It’s definitely challenging to portray such a big story, a story that transcends multiple religions,” Green said. “The physicality of the show is really challenging. We keep moving. We’re definitely working on getting that stamina and rhythm to go a full-length show.” Green said the story will resonate with a lot of people, the same as Hancock’s “SUPERHERO” did for several years. “It’s contemporary looking. It could be any time or any place,” Hancock said. Abbie Lessaris portrays part of The Chosen’s tribe. “We all portray the 10 plagues that happen in the Bible with our bodies,” Lessaris said. “We put the plague upon the oppressors. For the scene of the burning bush, I play the voice of God that speaks to The Chosen.” Lessaris said her favorite aspect of the show is The Chosen’s tribe is all women and children. “The journey we take throughout the

Carmel Symphony Orchestra League to feature fashion show editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Symphony Orchestra League’s Annual Spring Luncheon with Fashion Show and Boutique will be April 9 at 11 a.m. at Ritz Charles, 12156 North Meridian St., Carmel.

show is very empowering, and female empowerment is a nice message in the world today,” Lessaris said. “We lift each other up and do challenging things without any men being involved.” The male dancers form The Oppressors. “There are students from Anderson University in the show,” Hancock said. “We dressed them all very androgynously and anonymously. They are just this big scary group.” The Oppressors wear black hoodies with ski masks, with their eyes showing. Hancock said the 10 plagues from the Bible were made contemporary. “Instead of frogs and lice, we changed them into pollution, desecration of the earth, gun violence, racism, selfishness, social media, government, poverty, war and death of the firstborn,” Hancock said. “It’s very statement-making. Some of the plagues are hard to watch. They’re a little

disturbing. Art is meant to challenge us at times. Even though it’s hard for the dancers to portray them, I think it’s important we look at them in a different way. It’s one of my favorite parts, how the plagues are presented, and having The Chosen being a female is really important. The imagery is important. It opens where people are caged in by a fence. That serves as a metaphor for their freedom and the sea parting. It’s going to be a powerful imagery piece.” Hancock said he has been collecting music and formulating ideas for more than a year. He started choreographing in January. “The music is explosive and dynamic and aggressive,” he said. “But it’s also beautiful, tender and quiet. It’s all instrumental.” For more, visit gregoryhancockdancetheatre.org.

Wolfies has restaurants in Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers and Geist, so there’s likely one nearby. Suggested pairings: Wolfies Grill features a good variety of beers on tap and an array of cocktails. I suggest the Bulleit Old Fashioned, which, as the name implies, uses Bulleit bourbon.

Artists to appear in marketplace By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com The best artisans in the state are heading to the Indiana State Fairgrounds April 6-7 for the ninth indiana artisan annual Indiana Artisan Marketplace. Indiana Artisan is a nonprofit that searches for and promotes Hoosier-made arts, crafts, foods and beverages. All artists must be juried into the organization. The Marketplace is a unique opportunity for guests to shop more than 120 booths for original pieces and meet artisans and watch them hone their crafts. “This is just a wonderful way to meet people and connect with them and see their reaction to your art,” said Pam Newell, a Fishers artisan. Newell helped organize the first Marketplace and has participated every year. She specializes in pastels and oils, focusing on landscape and floral paintings. “It’s kind of like something you’re born with,” she said. “It’s like a muscle. You have to keep exercising it to get it strong.” Tim Kennedy, another Fishers artisan,

Blueprint for Improvement: Two-level screened porch in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

The Solution

After

Before

A two-story porch with upgraded patio and fire pit provided enhanced outdoor living for the homeowners. 1. Arched screen openings were used on the lower porch to match the arched transom windows in the home. 2. Retractable screens allow the homeowners to use the space in a variety of ways. 3. Tongue-and-groove painted ceilings were added to both levels. 4. The hip roof was extended from the home to create a good architectural transition. 5. New Trex decking and handrail with stone patio and stone veneer fire pit finished off the space. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: This lovely home in the Woods of Williams Creek was built in 2003.

the challenge The homeowners love their backyard space, which offers a private view of the creek behind their property. They wanted to create a screened porch off their second-room master bedroom and enclose the existing deck with screen panels for a more enjoyable – and bug-free – outdoor experience for their family.

“Most people want a diamond ring for their 50th anniversary. I chose a titanium knee.” – pat g.

It was in a jazzercise class that Pat had to face the music. Her knee was shot. That’s when she turned to Community’s Center for Joint Health. After being given a what-to-expect guide and participating in the pre-op class, she had a total knee replacement. The sole purpose was to dance with her husband at their 50th anniversary party. Mission accomplished. Pat also is back to traveling and doing jazzercise. At age 75, her next goal is to outlive the 20 year warranty on that new titanium knee. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.
