HAND reduces number of affordable housing units

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Rising construction costs have led to some changes in the plans for Cumberland Cottages, an 11-dwelling HOUSING rental community planned for the southwest corner of 141st Street and Cumberland Road to be owned and managed by Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development.

HAND would prefer to offer all units as affordable housing, meaning residents can earn no more than 60 percent of the area median income and that rents are restricted to a maximum rate set by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. But according to Andrea Davis, HAND executive director, increasing construction costs have reduced the number of units it can offer as affordable to six.

“I understand why that is, but nevertheless, it’s disappointing to me, as someone who’s trying to address the (affordability) problem,” Davis said.

Still, Davis is confident the units rented at market rates could go to those who may

make just enough income to disqualify them for affordable housing. She said HAND is researching grants and working with other nonprofits to consider partnerships that could help cover financial gaps for families in that situation.

“We’re trying to be creative on ways to still get people who need affordable housing into those market rate units,” Davis said.

Rising costs also led HAND to decide to build eight of the units in four duplexes.

Initially, all dwellings were planned to be detached. Another change is the addition of a garage for each dwelling instead of a carport, a change made at the request of the city.

Hamilton County Commissioners on Jan. 24 voted to approve a $200,000 reimbursement in community development block grants to HAND, which Davis said will help cover most of the cost of land for Cumberland Cottages. Davis said HAND has more than $3 million budgeted to construct the community, which will be covered through a combination of state funding and a private loan.

ZCHS swimmer focuses on improving after college commitment

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School junior swimmer Will Modglin has been able to concentrate on his training most of this high school season.

That’s because Modglin made a verbal commitment in November to sign with the University of Texas for the 2023-24 school year.

“A big thing was how I felt around the team and the team culture when I went on my official visit,” Modglin said of his decision. “I loved the campus and everything that went along with it. It was really a perfect fit. Texas has had lasting success with multiple swimmers over multiple years.

“I was able to put my trust in the program and trust in coaches that they are going to be able to get me wherever I need to be.”

Modglin took all five of his official college visits in the fall of 2021, so the process was time consuming.

“It had taken a lot of time out of the water, so I was looking to get back into training,” Modglin said. “I was looking forward to

Purdue.

“It was me comparing to them, not as far as achievements, but timewise and how fast we were compared to each other,” Modglin said. “It was more like, ‘I see your time and I want to go faster than that time.’”

Modglin is looking to go plenty fast at the IHSAA boys swimming state finals, which are set for Feb. 25-26 at the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI. Modglin won the 200-yard individual medley and the 100 backstroke at last year’s state finals. He also was on two relays that finished second at the state meet.

Heading into the Feb. 17-19 sectionals, Modglin, 17, is ranked No. 1 in the state in the 200 IM and 100 backstroke.

Modglin said he has made the most improvement on his endurance and his underwater technique.

“My underwater kick has gotten a lot better,” Modglin said.

Carmel, which has won the last seven boys team state championships, is ranked No. 1 in team poll and is Zionsville No. 2. The Eagles finished third in the state last year and Fishers was second.

Hamilton Southeastern athletics honors late top fans

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When it came to high school sports, Robert “Dub” Clark, Loren “Goney” Ridgeway and Dallas Farr were arguably the biggest fans Hamilton Southeastern Schools have ever had.

Affectionately known as the “Three Wise Men” in the local sports community, the three late Fishers residents were scheduled to be honored at the Feb. 11 boys basketball game against Carmel.

HSE High School Athletic Director Greg Habegger said the Three Wise Men had been around for as long as he has worked at HSE High School, dating back to 1989 when he was the freshman basketball coach.

“So, I was introduced to them when I first got here back in the fall of ‘89,” Habegger said. “I came in as freshman basketball coach, and those guys were already staples here in our community and watching games.”

Habegger said one of his favorite memories of the men was during the 1989-90 school year when Clark and Ridgeway bought all the food for the boys basketball banquet after HSE won the Range Line Conference.

“They just were the definition of being true fans,” Habegger said. “They came and sat in the front row and they supported our kids. They traveled to most of the away games, and they were there in the front row as well. That’s how other athletic directors got to know who they were. They interacted with kids and would stop them as they walked by or ran by during warmups and talk to them.

“They’d talk to our coaches and support our coaches.”

All three men grew up in Fishers and attended HSE Schools. Clark died in December 2017 at age 94. Ridgeway died in August 2020 at age 86. Farr died in November 2021 at age 92.

Habegger said dozens of the men’s family members planned to attend the tribute during the game.

Clark’s daughter, Cherie Bryant, a Fishers resident, said her dad always was an avid sports fan. Clark attended a one-room schoolhouse on the corner of 141st Street and Promise Road, and Bryant grew up hearing stories about how Clark and his sister played softball behind the school building. Clark eventually played basketball

fall of 2021 but was still determined to attend games.

“When I was making his appointments, at the end of his first session, he said, ‘Don’t make them on a Friday because I have to go to games,’” Canada said. “He had planned on going to games, but the girls or boys (basketball games) hadn’t started yet at that time. (All three men) were truly interested in the kids and the parents. It was just a huge part of his life.”

Dalla Farr, No. 8, played on the Fishers High School basketball team in 1947.

for the original Fishers High School and graduated in 1941.

Bryant said her father was interested in all games. He attended all high school sports events, from volleyball to football, for boys and girls sports.

“He went to all the tourneys,” Bryant said. “If Southeastern didn’t have a game, Dad would go to a Noblesville game. He’d go to Westfield, he’d go to Carmel, he’d go to Sheridan. He’d find a game somewhere to go to. He wasn’t going to sit home on a Friday or Saturday night.”

Bryant said her father, who often attended games with Farr and Ridgeway, enjoyed introducing himself to a referee, coach or player.

“Those three never met a referee or a coach that they didn’t introduce themselves to, even at away games,” she said. “They just were that type of people. They could appreciate athletes from other school districts. They always sat in the same place, and they’d always encourage even opposing team players.”

Ridgeway’s daughter, Debbie Gibbs, said

she and her family attended sporting events throughout her life.

“Even as a little girl, we were going to Cincinnati Reds games,” she said.

Gibbs’ brother, David Ridgeway, had muscular dystrophy. She said her father was dedicated to taking him to games.

Ridgeway graduated from FHS in 1953.

“He grew up with sports,” said Gibbs, who lives in Fortville.

Gibbs said the three men had a big impact on players.

“They looked forward to seeing the players and were very supportive of them,” Gibbs said. “The girls basketball team were the ones that first named them the Three Wiseman.”

Farr’s daughter, Jo Ellen Canada, said her father also attended sports games for as long as she can remember.

“I mean, like, forever,” she said.

Farr played basketball at FHS and graduated in 1947.

Canada and her brother, David Farr, said the teams often invited the men to their banquets.

“One of the biggest highlights my dad had at the end of each season was they would a have banquet or awards ceremony for the team. He thought it was such a big deal they would invite him to that,” David Farr said. “They would usually give him some kind of basket full of hats or shirts that were Southeastern or Fishers. So, that was a big deal for him to be included.”

Farr began liver cancer treatment in the

In 2007, after the new Fishers High School was built, Robert Clark’s family sponsored the Mudsock Trophy.

“When Fishers High School opened in 2007, the athletic directors got together and had this idea about this competition between the two high schools,” HSE High School Athletic Director Greg Habegger said. “We could no more than get the idea out of our mouths talking to Dub Clark before he said he and his family would foot the bill.”

The Mudsock tournaments involve 19 individual combined boys and girls sports. Each team wins a plaque if they win against the opposing school. The Mudsock Trophy is a large bronze trophy that is awarded to the high school that wins the most games throughout the year. The Mudsock Trophy is a traveling award that is housed this year at HSE.

HUMOR

New paths to old ways

Even adults aren’t immune Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker It is a challenge to find a news commentator, comedian or person in line next to us waiting to get a cup of coffee who doesn’t have something to say about how much the world has changed in these past many months. We have discovered e-learning, mask wearing and vaccine cards. We have mastered how to order online, stand 6 feet apart and mercilessly judge anyone who doesn’t agree with us. Still, is revolution something new? Had we been steady until 2020 and then suddenly slipped into a new world order? Or, has disruption been with us, a part of the human condition, all along?

For decades, Americans would stay in their cars to fill with fuel and park them to go inside when it was time to eat. Gas station attendants would check the oil, wash the windows and top off the tank — all as we’d sit idly reading a print newspaper that we’d picked up from the driveway before beginning the daily commute. If we needed coffee, we pulled into the diner, parked, went inside, ordered, waited for someone to make it and deliver the beverage, and then we drank it from stoneware mugs at a table while finishing that morning paper. In so few years, we’ve reversed it all.

Now, we get out of our cars to get gas and stay inside them to eat. Is selfserve cheaper, faster or better for the environment? Is a drive-thru the key to weight loss, better human interaction or improved personal freedom?

Before sliding into some nostalgic coma, self-assured that before was better than after, we might consider critically our choices. Same the other way. Is after any better than before? As we reorder the nature of our lives, are we really finding improvement?

Those of you with young-adult children will know all about senioritis, a dastardly disease that, in its mildest form, merely drains its victims of scholastic enthusiasm but, at its worst, renders infected 12th-graders completely incapable of fulfilling their graduation destinies. Alas, our youngest, despite receiving both doses and a booster of the High Expectations vaccine, has finally succumbed to a moderate case, just like her siblings before her (we think she may have had it in October 2021, but we never had her tested).

Interestingly, I also seemed to have contracted senioritis this go-around, although I believe I suffer from the longhaul omega variant that is commonly found among parents of multiple kids.

Unlike the original strain, omega attacks the part of the brain that makes you enforce rules and curfews and good decisions upon your teenage offspring.

Where I used to care deeply about her grades and attendance and bedtimes, now I simply don’t give a darn. I literally can’t muster the strength to say, “No” when she asks me to call her out for first period. She’s been accepted to college and she’s worked hard. If she wants to sleep in and skip AP Lit, fine. I have those secretaries on speed dial.

See what I mean? The maternal apathy is impressive, especially given I’m a teacher. I would have never catered to the whims of my older darlings like I do with my baby. But that’s the insidiousness of senioritis. Those who thought they were immune because they’ve survived previous outbreaks are hit the hardest. Case in point: me.

Stay safe, friends. Senioritis is scary, but god willing, you can endure.

Peace out.

Blo Blow Dry Bar set to open

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For entrepreneur Theresa Shadley, opening a Blo Blow Dry Bar seemed like a logical next step.

NEW BIZ Blo Blow Dry Bar was scheduled to open Feb. 11 at 11595 Whistle Dr., Suite 102, in Fishers. The franchise will be the first Blo Blow Dry Bar in Indiana.

“We offer no cuts and no color, so we just offer blow dries, or blow outs, as we call them, (and) special-occasion hair, makeup and extensions,” Shadley said.

The first shop opened in Canada in 2007, and the franchise has grown to more than 140 locations across the U.S. and Canada and continues to grow. The shop offers five signature hair styles.

There are eight stations at the shop.

Shadley said there will be 10 employees.

As a longtime blow dry bar customer, Shadley said she saw the need for a brand with a history of success in the industry.

Shadley, a licensed cosmetologist who lives in Noblesville, already owns Pure Barre franchises, which are women’s fitness stu-

Shadley was vice president of sales for Kenra Professional, a beauty brand headquartered in downtown Indianapolis until the company relocated in 2018 and she decided to stay in Indiana.

Blo Blow Dry Bar will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more, visit blomedry.com/blo-fishers/ or call 317-436-1638.

The Company Men to bring unique style of mashup songs to Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Ten years ago, four singers were working various jobs in Los Angeles and contemplating their futures.

CONCERT “We were talking about following our own dreams,” said Daniel Tatar, one of the co-creators of The Company Men. “One conversation led to the next, and almost a year later, the group had their first performance. We were all starting families, so the stakes were high. We committed ourselves to building this group, and it’s thrilling to look back at the growth in the past decade.”

The Company Men will perform at 8 p.m.

Feb. 18 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“As demand for performances grew, we expanded from the four of us to multiple casts,” Tatar said. “This week, you can find The Company Men here at the Palladium and on several cruise ships. There has always been at least one of the original members connected with the group. The heart of the group remains the same, but there is space for each person to infuse their own style and personality.”

The group specializes in mashups of songs from today and different eras.

“There are so many different mashups that the setlist changes depending on the audience and length of the show,” Tatar said. “Whenever I do the show, I listen to the newest Top 40 hits and find new mashups to bring in. Actually, I’ve been working on a new one to debut at the Palladium. I’m sure everyone will recognize it.”

Tatar said many of today’s hits are heavily influenced by Motown.

“When we interweave songs, you can hear similar tempos and complementary note structures throughout,” he said. “But our mashups span various genres over the last eight decades.”

Tatar said choreography plays a major role in the concert experience.

“It captures the essence of the original Motown hits and visually represents the mashups between styles,” Tatar said. “We are constantly moving around, switching places, passing solos. All of that has to be carefully choreographed and rehearsed to keep a clean, precise show. From the very beginning, we have been lucky to have the same choreographer who helps tell the stories of each song through movement.”

Tatar said like the mashups, there are a lot of crossover vocal parts between the four singers.

“Depending on the arrangement, I sing baritone and tenor backup parts, but my solos are in the tenor range,” he said.

“Much of it is in the pop/rock genre, like Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’ or Cee Lo Green’s ‘Forget You.’ But I also get to explore the softer, soulful sounds of Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’ or ‘Just My Imagination’ by The Temptations. Lots of variety.”

Tatar said with singing 70 songs in 90 minutes, every moment is enjoyable to

perform.

“A personal favorite is Michael Buble’s ‘Everything,’ where I can really connect with the audience,” he said. “That is something I really appreciate about live performances. Another song I love singing is Katy Perry’s ‘Firework.’ When my daughter was very young, she heard this song on the radio and excitedly yelled, ‘Daddy!

She’s singing your song!’ I still love that.”

The Company Men were supposed to perform for the first time at the Palladium in April 2020, but the show was rescheduled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As a Midwesterner myself, it is great to see communities with a deep appreciation for the arts,” Tatar said. “The (concert) season at the Palladium brings in some amazing and diverse performances from all over the country, and I’m very excited to connect with the audience here.”

Selecting the right artist Commentary by Randy Sorrell

• Style preferred. Realism, Abstract, Modern, Impressionism, etc.

• Does it need framed, or will you manage that? Or a gallery-wrapped canvas?

Deb offers an initial consult, abbreviated rough sample, mid-painting viewing as well as delivery and installation! Randall Scott Harden and Kim Greene are the other gifted owners of the gallery. Stop in and enjoy their work!

Pam Newell, a crazy-talented artist, offers an astute observation. Verify that you dig the artist’s style and that the subject matter is in their wheelhouse. Do they paint it often and enjoy it? Makes sense to me.

Pam’s the real deal.

Recently, a spirited friend requested a commission for a realistic painting of him and Fido, the lab. After VIEWPOINT wondering if something more suggestive/modern would be appropriate (Realism is not my strength), I kindly declined. Naturally, I offered him a referral.

HOW TO COMMISSION ART Are you searching for a painting that speaks directly to you or includes a very specific subject? Commissioning a piece might be the solution. Deb Slack, a Carmel artist and one of the three owners of Art On Main, 111 West Main St. in Carmel, offers a few guidelines on how to proceed: • What’s the subject matter? Any pictures/examples?

• Size matters. Do you prefer portrait or landscape? The anticipated location of the painting will drive this.

• Do you have a color palette preferred?

Earth tones, for example, and are we trying to echo any colors in a wallpaper or fabric?

• Budget?

EMOTION For me, an emotional connection exaggerates the best. It builds connection.

Immediately, the colors and subject matter resonate.

Randy Sorrell, a Carmel artist, can be reached at 317-6792565, rsorrellart@gmail.com or rsorrellart.com.

Butler set as soloist in concert

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fittingly, the Indiana Wind Symphony’s upcoming concert is called “Winter Festival: All That Sparkles.” The recent CONCERT winter storm was a factor in adjusting the music lineup.

IWS Music Director Charles Conrad said two rehearsals were canceled because of potential COVID-19 exposure, and then another was canceled because of the Feb. 2 winter storm. So Conrad took out a few pieces and turned the show into a concert without an intermission.

Principal flutist Carl Butler will be the featured soloist when the concert is presented at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Butler will play a piece called “Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso” by the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saens. It will be the second piece performed.

“It’s a piece played by both violinist or flutist,” Conrad said. “It works equally well in both versions.”

The concert will open with “Fanfare for Freedom” by Harry Bulow, a music professor

IWS principal flute Carl Butler will perform as the soloist. (Photo courtesy of Indiana Wind Symphony)

at Purdue University.

The piece IWS took the concert title from is “Sparkle” by Shafer Mahoney.

“It features piano, flutes and clarinets on a really wonderful sparkling melody,” Conrad said.

The next piece is Norman Dello Joio’s ‘Caccia.” Dello Joio died in 2008.

The piece that follows is George Rosenkrans’ “The Illuminator.”

The concert concludes with “Bookmarks from Japan: Symphony No. 4” by Julie Giroux.

Raise a glass to hydronomy Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt There’s a ditch in Fishers with a sign displayed in classic road-sign green with familiar white lettering: Shoemaker Ditch.

It’s a humble ditch GRAMMAR GUY that announces itself with all the fanfare of an intrastate highway. Every time I pass the sign, I wonder: Did Mr. or Ms. Shoemaker contribute to the history and development of this area? Or did one of them die a shoddy death in this shallow-depth ditch? The mind races.

Of course, you know what’s coming next. There’s a word for the name of a body of water: a hydronym. Hydronym (Greek for “water name”) is a subset of geographical toponyms (place names).

Hydronomy refers to the naming of any body of water. I’m going to lump ditches and ponds in with rivers, lakes, fjords, seas and oceans.

This got me to wondering: Who gets to name bodies of water? This winding river of research led me to a group called the International Hydrographic Organization, or IHO. The IHO is made up of 97 countries

that agree on standards for surveying and charting bodies of water.

All’s well and good in the IHO until a naming dispute arises. Take the Sea of Japan, for instance. This is the internationally recognized name for the body of water bordered by Japan, North Korea, South Korea and Russia. However, South Korea prefers “East Sea,” while North Korea likes “Korean East Sea.” In 1992, the IHO decided to include “East Sea” as a secondary hydronym for the Sea of Japan. The North Koreans still aren’t happy.

If you need a reason to celebrate on June 21, take the day off to celebrate World Hydrography Day, a day in which you celebrate the importance of hydrography. Of course, the group of folks who get to decide on names of bodies of water (the IHO) also invented this holiday.
