Blood supplies ‘dangerously low’ news@currentinwestfield.com

Last week, the Indiana Blood Center reported its normal inventory levels were depleted. donate On one day in particular, it had less than a one-day supply on its shelves, approximately 700 units. A normal, daily inventory level is approximately 2,000 units.

All inventories of all blood types were described as “dangerously low” in a statement from the Indiana Blood Center, and some – O positive, O negative and B negative – were back-ordered at the time of the statement.

“This morning (Jan. 2), a local hospital required 60 units of O positive blood for a trauma patient,” the release stated. “The inventory is dangerously depleted, placing the community’s health at risk. Donors of all types are urgently needed.”

Indiana Blood Center representatives said one cause for low inventory could be recent frigid temperatures. There are six donation centers around the state: 726 Adams St., Suite 150, Carmel; 3450 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis; 11006 Allisonville Rd., Fishers; 8739 U.S. 31 S., Indianapolis/Greenwood; 2200 FISHERS • Periodic lane restrictions will occur at the intersection of 131st Street and Cumberland Road for utility work to be completed.

• A new traffic signal at 126th Street and Hoosier Road is now complete.

• The 106th Street and Geist Road roundabout is receiving landscaping upgrades, and lane restrictions may be in place.

• Additional travel lanes are now open on I-69 between Ind. 37 Exit 205 and Ind. 38 Exit 219. A $92-million-project, contractors added a third lane in each direction, repaired pavement and rehabilitated bridges and drain structures

Turning 5-year-olds into farmers

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Aggressively Organic CEO Jonathan Partlow jumped at the chance education to present to Brooks School Elementary in Fishers and turn 5-year-old students into farmers for a day.

Students learned how to plant lettuce seeds and after germination, they placed the plants in Partlow Aggressively Organic systems to grow during their Christmas break.

“All the stuff they grew, besides learning the science, agriculture and math, all of that food will then be donated to food banks,” Partlow said.

Students planted different varieties of nutrient-rich lettuce. In Aggressively Organic systems, lettuce is harvested by plucking only what is needed. The plant continues to grow. As a result, one lettuce plant can produce for four to six weeks.

Erin Nornberg, a kindergarten teacher at Brooks School Elementary, emailed Current about the experience.

During its third and final grant process of 2017, Legacy Fund giving back of Hamilton County awarded $170,770 to 10 county organizations and two future projects. Legacy Fund is an affiliate of Central Indiana Community Foundation.

Brittany Rayburn, Legacy Fund director of Rayburn development, said the grants are sourced from an unrestricted community endowment fund, Endowment for Hamilton County. The fund is made possible by family funds and donors through the years.

“The purpose of these grants is to respond to community needs and ultimately make Hamilton County a better place to live by meeting those needs,” Rayburn said.

Nonprofits were required to complete an application describing their project and why it needs to be addressed.

The two future projects are Reaching Resources and the regional master plan

to activate the White River in Marion and Hamilton counties. Reaching Resources is a program of the Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County, which allows senior citizens to access countywide services in one place. Reaching Resources will receive up to $50,000 annually for four years. Legacy Fund granted $15,000 to the regional master plan to activate the White River, part of a multi-county collaboration.

Other grant recipients were Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development; Prevail Inc.; Southside Youth Council; Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana; Hamilton County Leadership Academy; Heart and Soul Clinic; Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry; Museum of Miniature Houses & Other Collections; Second Helpings; and Storytelling Arts of Indiana.

“We looked at a wide variety of organizations and projects, and really, if they can make a case and we agree it’s a need, we want to put funding toward that and will do our best to make a grant,” Rayburn said.

The Legacy Fund’s next grant selection process begins in March.

Students build ‘life-size’ houses

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate and Junior High students education constructed “life-size” houses out of cardboard after teachers Lisa Keaffaber and Amber Hudson collaborated on an idea.

“I originally approached Lisa with this idea I’ve seen about building cardboard houses,’” Hudson said. “We started to brainstorm on how it might work in our classrooms.”

Keaffaber and Hudson realized one thing was wrong with the original plan, in that all the original houses were Christmas-themed.

“One of the things we thought we should do is bring in multi-cultural holidays,” Keaffaber said. One student was required to fit inside the completed house.

Keaffaber and Hudson split the day with the same class, and the project covered various subjects from math to social studies.

When completed, the houses were set up at Launch Fishers, Hamilton East Public Library and City Hall.

museum Conner Prairie set to open new exhibit Jan. 11

By Jessica Hoover • news@currentinfishers.com Conner Prairie, a museum known for its family oriented learning experiences and one of the cover story largest attractions in the region, will debut a new exhibit Jan. 11: the Makesmith Workshop. The exhibit will provide visitors a hands-on look at the trades of textiles, ceramics, metalworking and woodworking.

Director of Exhibits Brian Mancuso and Senior Interpreter Rachel Poe said the exhibit was an idea they planned for quite Mancuso some time.

“We’re really excited about it because it takes the historic trades and things that we do on the grounds and lets us put those projects and tools into our guests’ hands to let them have the experience of making things,” Poe said.

“There really aren’t opportunities to let the visitors behind the velvet rope (currently),” Mancuso said. “Now, we can have an authentic, hands-on experience that we just can’t have in Prairie Town.”

The theme of the Makesmith Workshop will vary depending on which historic trade is featured that day. Trades will be listed on Conner Prairie’s website. Each trade has different tools and materials. The first featured exhibit will be textiles, which will give visitors the opportunity to use needle and thread, sewing machines and fabric.

“One of the cool things about the space is that it’s kind of like a blank canvas that Rachel and her staff can fill in as time goes on,” Mancuso said. “It should look like a thoughtfully cluttered workspace that you can tell that craftspeople and artisans have worked in there. After a while it’s just going to be this kind of thought process in

an inspirational environment over time.”

Museum officials are still considering whether visitors can to take home their creations from the Makesmith Workshop, but Mancuso said they might be able do so for a slight upcharge. Items created at the exhibit will at times become part of a collaborative project when Conner Prairie staff puts together each visitor’s creation.

Mancuso and Poe noted that when they created a popup for the exhibit last spring, visitors responded well to contributing to a collaborative project. Each visitor was asked to sew together a patch of a quilt, and after the quilt was stitched together it was displayed at Conner Prairie.

“When we did the pop-up, we learned that when visitors had contact with those objects they were able to kind of create a bit more of a connection with them and get inspired to create something,” Mancuso said.

The interpreters in the Makesmith Workshop will not be in costume or in character because they will share tool knowledge of all time periods. Mancuso said the interpreters are meant to guide the visitors and at times even explore different concepts with them.

“There might be some problem where the visitor and the interpreter will become co-learners and they explore together,” Mancuso said. “We have a lot of people come in and a lot of people that have questions, so we want to make sure to really create that co-exploration.”

Mancuso said the Makesmith Workshop is for people of all ages to learn more about the historic trades and working with tools.

“It’s not about craft or glue sticks and glitter,” Mancuso said. “It’s about that older audience. It’s about the younger kids that want to take it a step further. It’s about parents that want to come in and co-explore along with their kids.

Parents really see a value in getting tools and materials in

their kids’ hands in ways that they may not be able to do at home or at school.

Many of these parents maybe grew up with a workshop, but they don’t have a workshop. Or they grew up with a craft or a sewing room, and now they don’t have one. So, this is a venue where we can make that happen.”

Other exhibits available this winter Create.Connect In the Create.Connect exhibit, visitors can create their own invention, flying machine, windmill, hot air balloon, electrical circuits and working radio. Visitors also can learn about physics by using machines such as pulleys and a swinging hammer.

Discovery Station Discovery Station is an exhibit designed for visitors through the age of 9 to create, climb, explore, play and pretend. It features areas where visitors can build their own hideout with poles and blankets, put on shows with puppets and stuffed animals, climb in the forest-themed play area, dress up like a forest animal and curl up in a book nook shaped like a beehive.

Craft Corner At Craft Corner, visitors can learn new skills and create a take-home craft. Activities include soap making, using an antique printing press, decorating a quilt square and weaving. Different themed activities are created monthly, so visitors can come back and try their hand at a new craft.

Not ‘momming’ today

o b s e r v a tion

Hair-raising question

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker For several years, a Mexican brewer has employed Boston-born actor Jonathon Goldsmith as the “most interesting man in the world” to promote its products. In the ads, the bearded, middle-aged gentleman takes note of his improbable life while sipping the trademark beer. A bit tongue-in-cheek, the commercials have become a part of our common lexicon. Whenever someone takes themselves a bit too seriously, yet still seems to be in on the joke, they might be compared to Goldsmith.

Still, they are effective in that the look and posture of the ads invite critique. Each element of the promotion is engineered to take full advantage of our nature as humans. But in allowing for humor, the viewer is invited to criticize the supposition.

Following the lead of a local mayor’s call for No-Shave November to raise awareness for men’s health issues, many of us passed on the daily ritual for a month. Along with many important discussions, more encouragements that men take care to prevent, identify and treat a variety of genderspecific cancers, the beard has invited countless unexpected opinions. Friends, family and acquaintances feel free to comment ad hominem. They demand, “You look terrible – shave it promptly.” Others claim it to be “the bomb.” Thought-provoking or not, is there something incumbent to facial hair that eliminates social barrier to comment?

It’s the most interesting, man.

Side effects of rock bottom management fees Commentary by Eric McKinney Homeowner boards love to feel like they’re getting a good deal – who doesn’t? But negotiating the lowest possible management homeowners fee with your management company could end up costing your community more for yearly maintenance and capital improvement projects than what’s saved on the management fee.

When a property management company agrees to manage communities for ‘rock bottom’ fees, it requires that they manage additional properties (to offset decreased management fee revenue on a per property basis) to remain profitable, which translates to their community managers having less time to devote to each of their communities.

Community managers understand the need to keep board members happy and therefore focus on tangible objectives that, if not properly performed, carry immediate repercussions from their boards.

This means items that are not easy for board members to gauge performance and value suffer and do not get the attention they deserve. Unfortunately for association boards these intangible

items have everything to do with their community’s yearly maintenance and capital improvement projects.

Community managers having too many properties to oversee don’t have adequate time to properly assemble comprehensive requests for proposals, nor negotiate best pricing with qualified vendors.

This is rather substantial and can be quite costly to a community given that an association board will invest 50 to 60 percent of annually-collected homeowner dues on yearly maintenance and capital improvement needs for their community.

When negotiating, consider that a rock bottom management fee could affect the ‘intangible’ services your community receives, impacting expenditures and making the sting of overpaying for services something that may not be realized for months or even years to come.

Occasionally, I need a break from “momming.” I thought I’d orchestrated just such an opportunity when I planned humor a short trip to Kentucky and neither my kids nor Doo could make it. Unfortunately, I came down with a mild stomach bug the first night and missed out on most of the fun. But my couch confinement did allow me to catch some truly horrible programming, including Netflix’s “The 100” (seriously, it’s so terrible, it’s good, even with a low-grade fever and gut rot).

I assumed in my absence the house would fall apart, but I also hoped that my lovely children would take pity on their pukey mom and pull it together by the time I got home. Maybe do some dishes, perhaps make a bed. Amateur thinking, to be sure. I walked in to a Chernobyl-like first floor and was greeted not with “How are you feeling?” but rather “What’s for dinner?” and “When are you going to Meijer?”

I clearly wasn’t sick enough to garner any sympathy, for my family thought nothing of calling for my immediate return to parenting.

Even Doo made mention of a task he wanted me to handle. Apparently, if I am not actively projectile vomiting, I can still go for milk and call on an insurance claim.

It’s a true indication of how blech I felt that I was able to suppress the screams of frustration and disappointment. I simply ignored my precious little selfish angels, made space amidst the unmatched socks and discarded Capri Suns and downed three more awful but oddly compelling episodes of “The 100.” Fend for yourselves, peeps. I’m still on my mommy break.

Peace out.

When I received the Echo my brother-inlaw sent me for Christmas, I was mesmerized. This gadget works like humor the computer that Captain Kirk talked to on “Star Trek.”

You can pose a question (who was the 13th president?), request a song or ask it to call someone. Your wish is her command.

Sales people always make claims like, “It’s so easy to use. Just plug it in.” This is never true, although I got my new desk lamp working in less than an hour.

You must begin your Echo commands with her name, Alexa. I thought I had mastered my new toy. I said, “Alexa, play today’s phone messages.” After she completed the task, I said, “Alexa, now play yesterday’s,” which resulted in her playing the Beatles’ 1962 hit. Then I said, “Alexie, stop the music.” “Alexie, shut up!” “Alexie, play something else.” Nothing worked. Finally, I unplugged it, realizing I would have to reset the darn thing. Unlike Paul McCartney’s, my troubles did not seem so far away.

I was saying Alexie instead of Alexa. The lady in the cylinder is very particular about this kind of thing, like when I mistakenly

call my wife Shirley instead of Mary Ellen.

Mary Ellen read an article that said if the device is plugged in, it is on and always listening to what you say in your house.

Yesterday (this is true), when I plugged my smartphone into my car, I overheard two complete strangers squabbling. I can’t tell you much about the conversation because I only listened for 15 minutes.

Mary Ellen is getting jealous of Alexa.

When I wake up, I say: “Alexa, Good morning!” She reports something that happened on the same date in history. This kind of fascinating trivia is not something my wife or I expect from each other at 8 a.m.

“Mary Ellen, Good Morning!”

“Dick, on this day every week, they pick up the garbage. Get out of bed and take our can to the curb!”

My wife wants her own Echo, but she said it will be hard to tell Alexa to “shut up!”

Well, it worked effectively on me any time I tried to talk during “Downton Abbey.”

CEO McDermott learns various roles for Center for Performing Arts

Jeff McDermott discusses the 2017-18 season last May. (Submitted photo)

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This wasn’t “Undercover Boss,” but Center for the Performing Arts President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff McDermott did make it his mission to learn others’ jobs. concert “One of the things I took it upon myself to do was I had been involved in management of my law firm for a bunch of years, so I understood management issues, (human resources) issues and budgeting, but there are some things we did at the Center I wasn’t familiar with,” McDermott said. “How our production team works with artists and artists’ crews and how a show does go on. I did some things that were both fun and informative for me. I spent a day on the production team where I helped load in an artist. I came to work in jeans and a black shirt and I helped with everything from rolling out carpeting on the stage to learning how to focus our spotlights.

“I thought that was helpful for me to understand what our production team does. I don’t know how to support people if I don’t really know what they do, so that was helpful.”

He also spent an evening as an usher, putting on a white shirt, tie and read the usher manual from cover to cover.

“They assigned me a mentor and I scanned tickets and helped seat people and really learned the usher and volunteer experience,” McDermott said. “I’m sure I just skimmed the surface. It led me to experience what areas our staff do that were new and different from anything I’ve ever experienced before.”

McDermott took on those roles when he served as interim president for nearly 13 months. He was promoted to the full-time position Aug. 30, 2017.

McDermott, who has lived in Carmel for more than 30 years,

previously had been a partner with Krieg DeVault law firm. He is now serving in a more limited role of senior counsel with the firm.

Prior to becoming interim director of the nonprofit organization, McDermott joined the Center’s board of directors in 2010 before the campus opened in 2011.

McDermott said there was a learning curve in programming as well.

“We have a great vice president of programming in Doug Tatum,” he said. “Doug was hugely helpful to me in learning what he does and how he does it and the intricacies of programming and schedules and the business side of that.”

McDermott said he has met with other performing arts centers directors and attended a national conference last year with artists and booking agents.

“Everyone brings some of their own tastes and choices to programming,” McDermott said. “One thing I felt strongly as a board member and brought with me to this position is not to tell Carmel, Indianapolis or central Indiana what they should see but bring to them what they want to see. At the same time, it’s sort of our responsibility to bring them some things that stretch the imagination and open them up to new experiences. One thing important to me is to make sure we are doing both, (also presenting) first-class acts or artists. Some of them are going to have more mass appeal than others. We have a responsibility to try to present all types.”

McDermott said country acts continue to be popular. Many rock and pop acts also have been popular.

“I think it’s more artist-specific even more than genre-specific,” McDermott said.

Cabaret to become resident company editorial@youarecurrent.com Producing partners Dustin Klein and Tom Alvarez have announced their Magic Thread Cabaret will be a resident company at The Cat, 254 SW 1st Ave, in Carmel.

The Cat, owned by Will Wood, has theater-style seats and can be configured for various capacities up to 150 seats.

“With the proximity of The Cat to the Center for the Performing Arts and home of the Great American Songbook Foundation, it just makes sense for us to attempt to draw fans of the Great American Songbook, which that organization has developed so well in the Carmel area,” Klein, the artistic director, stated in a news release.

Magic Thread Cabaret featured 2015 Songbook Ambassador Lucas DeBard in performances in November in Indianapolis.

Magic Thread Cabaret will feature Keith Potts, “Here I Am” March 2-3; Katy Gentry is “Judy Garland LIVE!” July 6-7; Corby York, “Heart & Music” Sept. 7-8; and Melissa Schottm “The Key of Me” Nov. 16-17 The artists will perform two shows each night at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Tickets for the individual performances are $35, $25 and $15. To reserve seats, call 317-750-2484 or email willwood@thecattheatre.com.

Guests enjoyed a spectacular evening with festive party favors, mounds of delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, dancing and live music venues throughout The Palladium and a synchronized countdown at each party location with beautiful fireworks viewed from the balconies. There was something for everyone to enjoy, from the popular party band The Bishops to DJ Fulton and from the Scott Routenberg Jazz Trio to Stacie Sandoval and Her Orquesta Salsa Band. The NYE celebration was a night to remember, and it’s safe to say that everyone was fired up for a fantastic 2018.

Academy launches new program

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Husband-and-wife couple Doug Whisman and Ji-Eun Lee have enjoyed success in their Fishers music music academy since 2004, and now one of their coaches has a new idea.

Jeannie Logan, a voice instructor, recently pitched the idea of Jeannie’s CabaLogan ret, and her first class is already full.

“It’s quite a bit outside of what our norm is,” Whisman said of the new program. “This is different because it’s really each class is only five students preparing to put on their own cabaret-style concert.”

Students attend a two-hour Saturday class for six weeks. Logan coaches them on their performance. They then perform for approximately 30 minutes by themselves during the cabaret. According to Lee, the program provides kids a chance to perform outside a school recital.

“Kids don’t really have a chance to perform more than a song or two maybe in front of their family or parents. They can participate

as students in a school talent show or in a recital, but time is very limited,” Lee said.

Jeannie will coach them on how to interact with the audience, not only parents and family, but the strangers.”

Jeannie’s Cabaret is seeking students for the second session in March.

Several of the five spots have already been filled.

Although singers aren’t required to be a student of Lee Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy, they do require talent.

Cost to participate in Jeannie’s Cabaret is $265, but the family is provided with 10 tickets priced at $25.

San Miguel Church in Santa Fe, New Mexico. (Photo by Don Knebel)

America’s oldest church Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to colonial New England hoping to discover the oldest church in the United States discover instead that travel they are more than 2,000 miles too far east.

Soon after Christopher Columbus landed in what he mistook for India in 1492, the Spanish government began sending missionaries to what are now Mexico and the American Southwest to convert the “Indians” to Christianity. In 1598. a group of Christianized Tlaxcalan Indians settled in what is now Santa Fe, N.M., and built a small church over the remains of a 13th century kiva, an underground room once used for religious rituals. In 1609, Spanish settlers joined the small community of the Tlaxcalans, who enlarged their church under the guidance of Franciscan monks.

The church became known as the San Miguel (St. Michael) Mission. When Spanish soldiers arrived to protect the area, they worshipped in San Miguel along with the Tlaxcalans and the other residents.

In 1680, indigenous Pueblo people

throughout what is now New Mexico organized and carried out an armed revolt against Spanish control. The Tlaxcalans, loyal to the Spanish, took refuge in San Miguel Mission. Flaming arrows directed at the church set fire to the wooden roof, which soon collapsed, killing the Tlaxcalans. The Pueblo Revolt killed 400 Spaniards and temporarily drove the Spanish from New Mexico. When the Spanish returned in 1692, they restored San Miguel Mission for use as a military chapel. A colorful altar screen was added in 1798. After San Miguel was damaged by an earthquake in 1872, stone buttresses were added to strengthen the exterior walls. A new bell tower was added in 1887 to replace one toppled by the quake. Today, San Miguel is owned by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, who hold Mass every Sunday in the oldest church in the United States.
