Holcomb announces new gathering restrictions

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced new social gathering restrictions last week that went PANDEMIC into effect Nov. 15 and be in place for at least a month to slow the spread of COVID-19.

During a Nov. 11 press briefing, Holcomb said the Holcomb state is discarding its fivestage reopening plan. In its place, the state will use its county-level, color-coded map to determine new restrictions, which can be viewed at coronavirus.in.gov. Each county is assigned a color denoting the average score of cases per 100,000 residents and its seven-day positivity rate. Counties are assigned colors to show the level of spread.

Blue indicates the lowest level, followed by yellow, orange and red. Red is the highest level.

Indoor and outdoor social gatherings in orange counties will be restricted to 50 people or less. As of press time Nov. 12, all but five counties were either orange or red. None were blue. Boone and Hamilton counties were orange. Special, seasonal or commercial events planned for more than 50 people in orange counties require a safety plan and approval from a local health department. Attendance at winter indoor K-12 extracurricular and co-curricular events

To our valued readers: It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Fishers, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose.

Current in Fishers remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the

is limited to 25 percent capacity. Only necessary personnel and parents/guardians can attend community recreational sports events and tournaments.

Red counties will be restricted to social gatherings of no more than 25 people, indoors or outdoors. As of press time, nine counties were in red.

Larger gatherings require submission of a safety plan and must receive approval from a local health departBox ment. Attendance at winter indoor K-12 extracurricular and co-curricular activities, including IHSAA sports, is limited to participants, supporting personnel and parents/guardians. Local officials in red counties may consider limiting hours for the operation of bars, nightclubs and restaurants. State officials said community recreational sports leagues and tournaments may continue with participants, required personnel and parents/guardians only.

Additional requirements for red counties include the suspension of senior care activities, closures of common areas and break rooms and possible visitation limits at hospitals, long-term care facilities and other congregate settings.

Churches and other places of worship are exempt from all restrictions, state officials said, but are encouraged to practice mitigation efforts. Additional guidance from state health officials for holiday gatherings and events is expected some time this week.

levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail.

Our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change.

In response to the new restrictions, state officials said they will make $20 million available to local governments for compliance efforts, such as reviewing local event plans, public awareness and enforcement.

State officials cited record-high cases, increasing death totals, resource scarcities, hospital staffing shortages and record-high hospitalizations for the new restrictions.

Two weeks ago, Holcomb said social gathering restrictions in neighboring states proved ineffective in slowing the spread of the virus. On Nov. 11, Holcomb’s message was that Hoosiers need to practice mitigation efforts to help hospitals from being overwhelmed by what he called a second surge.

“Our frontline medical personnel, our nurses and assistants and doctors, they’re exhausted and overwhelmed and need us all to do the things that we can on the outside that will slow the number of patients that need hospitalization and their treatment inside,” Holcomb said. “We must do all we can to protect our hospital capacity so they can protect patients and care for them.”

As of Nov. 10, 2,544 Indiana residents were hospitalized with COVID-19, Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said during the same briefing. In the spring, the highest number of hospitalizations was 1,799 on April 13. Box said some hospitals are directing patients to other hospitals due to staffing shortages. The state reported a single-day record of 5,135 cases on Nov. 10.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual.

Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

At the Nov. 10 Fishers Board of Health meeting, Public Health Director Monica Heltz presented findings that showed a recent increase in COVID-19 cases PANDEMIC in Fishers. Heltz also presented several proposed recommendations to mitigate the spread.

The findings showed that social gatherings are a primary source of spread, according to reports from contact tracers.

The COVID-19 infection has a wide footprint across Fishers, with no single concentrated area, and all ages seem to be equally affected. However, the findings also showed that schools seem safe from case-to-case transmission.

The Fishers Health Dept. recommends residents avoid gatherings in homes, workplaces and churches. It encourages all residents to stay home except for essential services, such as school, work, health care and groceries. It encourages residents to utilize curbside delivery, carryout services

or home delivery instead of going into stores. Residents should work from home when possible and increase their sanitation protocols. Gyms and retail establishments should have special hours for high-risk individuals, and all school-sponsored extracurriculars are canceled. If there is one positive case in a class, the entire class should be quarantined.

The Fishers Health Dept. also requests there be no bar seating, and no more than eight people at a table in restaurants.

Masks must be worn at restaurants until food arrives, but they can temporarily be removed for drinking beverages.

For entertainment facilities, there should be no more than eight in a group in confined spaces. Social gatherings are limited to 10 people maximum indoors and 25 people maximum outdoors. There can be one spectator per participant at sporting events.

Guerin Catholic boys make state cross country finals for first time

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Guerin Catholic High School seniors had made it their mission to qualify for the IHSAA Boys Cross CounACHIEVEMENT try State Finals as a team for the first time in school history.

The Golden Eagles not only did that but managed a 10th-place finish at the Oct. 31 state meet at Terre Haute. The Golden Eagles missed ninth place by one point.

“It’s been cool to see how some of the previous classes kind of set the tone for this class, and they have taken ahold of it and run with it over the four years,” said Tom Ohlman, who has been head coach since 2017. “They learned from the upperclassmen and now have been able to show what they are able to do.”

Dominic Stein was Guerin Catholic’s top state finisher in 49th place, followed by teammate Austin Callahan in 50th. The five seniors are Stein, Callahan, Glenn Morrow, Holden King and Nicholas Schramm. The other two Guerin runners were junior Evan McNeany and sophomore Ethan Hines.

Callahan, Schramm, Morrow and McNeany are Westfield residents. King and Hines are from Carmel and Stein is a Fishers resident.

Tom Gallagher, Guerin’s director of cross country for boys and girls, said it’s the culmination of something that had in the making for six or seven years.

“We had some great senior leaders that kind of planted the seed with these guys when they were freshmen and sopho-

mores,” Gallagher said.

Gallagher’s son, Quinn, qualified for the state meet three consecutive years as an individual. As a senior, Quinn Gallagher was fifth in the 2018 state meet and earned the Mental Attitude Award for boys cross country.

“These guys were sophomores at the time, and they committed to continue to work harder and devoted their summers to running,” Tom Gallagher said. “They gleaned

as much as they could on how to hydrate, different nutrition tips and different stretching. They banded together.”

Gallagher said having five runners in the same class with the same goal of making state helped them push each other to get better.

Assistant Coach Tom Ohlman said there is a good group of young runners returning.

“It was good to see the younger runners not competing cheering them on (at the state meet),” Ohlman said. “They can see it doesn’t take crazy, awesome talent to make it happen. It just takes the hard work of showing up every day.”

Callahan said competing in the state finals was a goal four years in the making.

“So to finally make it was an extremely significant milestone for our cross country program,” Callahan said. “Day in and day out, we put the work in to be able to represent Guerin Catholic in the state meet and this was just the culmination of that work.

Placing as a top 10 team in the state after barely being considered a contender the year before was definitely something that I, along with my fellow seniors, will cherish for a lifetime.”

Carol Sergi, director of workforce strategy for the Hamilton County Economic Development Corp., said it had TMap start the process of collecting information about high school students across the county in the fall of 2019.

She said the Workforce Recovery Task Force wanted to reach out to the high school graduates after they’ve gone on to their post-secondary education, whether it’s a four-year college, two-year college or having earned a credential and moved away.

“We wanted to have a mechanism to be able to keep track of the students from Hamilton County and be able to reach out to them and invite them to come back and live and

work in Hamilton County to help us fill the jobs we have here,” Sergi said.

Sergi said the schools collect minimal information.

“Then TMap has the ability to go in and get much more in-depth information so that we can look and see what industry are they in, where do they live, how long have they been out of school, what are they working in currently,” Sergi said. “Maybe their degree is in one thing and they end up with jobs in something else. (With TMap) we can really target people, particularly when at some point in the future we are going to be able to do things that are very targeted to certain industries.”

Sergi said the plan was to conduct in-person recruiting, invite people to the county to see places to live and set up interviews with participants in 2020.

However, the pandemic has made that too difficult to accomplish this year, but Sergi said the organization wants to do it in the future.

Sergi said TMap has helped Indianapolis with the initiative.

“We want to be able to reach out to people who have the particular skills that those companies are looking for,” Sergi said.

Cooper House plans fundraiser

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Cooper House will conduct a virtual fundraiser Nov. 18-19 with a goal of raising $1 million.

GIVING BACK The Cooper House, a nonprofit that supports birth parents throughout the foster care process, needs the funds to purchase a home in downtown Noblesville. When a home is purchased, The Cooper House — a nonprofit — will be able to provide more services to Hamilton County families and kids in the Dept. of Child Services’ system.

The virtual fundraiser, called “A Home for Hope,” will offer giveaways and educational content about foster care while requesting donations.

“The money that is raised over the course of those two days will go specifically to purchase a home in the downtown Noblesville area,” said Westfield resident Brooke Howe, founder of The Cooper House. “We are currently serving families and kiddos and parents in DCS in (a variety of) ways right now. However, to start fully serving our families with visitation space and support

groups and parenting classes, we need our own home. That’s the goal.”

The fundraiser will include videos from birth parents, and there will be a video from a former foster youth in the area who will share and explain why a house will help families in crisis.

The Cooper House fundraiser will be conducted on the organization’s Facebook and Instagram pages.

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Small businesses need a boost now more than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so the City of Fishers will present the seventh annual Shop Fishers event that takes place on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 28.

Small Business Saturday was created in 2010 to encourage residents to shop small and local stores. It was created

by American Express and adopted by cities across the nation.

“This year we have a record-high business participation with over 60 local businesses,” said Stephanie Perry, the city’s assistant director of community and public relations.

“Last year was about 58, so it’s a (little) higher. However, last year was extremely high, because in the past, we were trending around 40 on average. There’s definitely been a huge increase in the last two years.”

Perry attributes the increase to local businesses seeing the value of participating.

“Fishers has worked in recent years to expand this event to not just businesses in the Nickel Plate District, but all the way from Allisonville to Olio (roads) and beyond,” Perry said.

“It’s truly a citywide event.”

Perry said it’s obvious COVID-19 has made an impact on local businesses, and she said now it is more important than ever to shop small.

“It’s been a very tough year for local businesses in our community, so we really want to encourage all residents to shop small, shop local and support local entrepreneurs this holiday season,” Perry said. “A lot of local businesses are offering special services due to COVID-19, anything from online ordering to curbside pickup to delivery or carryout.”

Perry said businesses are taking extra steps to get their products to customers in ways they haven’t offered before.

Schoolhouse 7 Café offers a drive-thru that is a unique feature for a local coffee shop. Board and You, a custom charcuterie business, offers items designed for home parties as many residents are hosting smaller gatherings due to the pandemic. Some businesses, like Wasson Nursery, are offering online ordering, curbside pickup and delivery.

“No matter how comfortable you are this holiday season, whether you want to shop from home, get carryout and delivery or want to go out in the store, you can support local businesses in ways that are right for you,” Perry said.

Some businesses are offering deals on gift cards or online merchandise. Perry said some franchise locations are participating in Shop Fishers because the owners are local.

“We have businesses participating in Shop Fishers that

FISHERS ARTS COUNCIL For the past several years, the Fishers Arts Council has presented local artisans creating and selling their items at Fishers City Hall, 1 Municipal Dr., during Shop Fishers on Small Business Saturday. This year is no different.

The Fishers Arts Council artists will work in City Hall Nov. 28 during the Shop Fishers event. The city encourages people to follow the face mask mandate while indoors.

However, they are still owned by local business owners and are still important,” Perry said. “Just because something is a chain, there could still be a local entrepreneur behind that. I think with COVID-19, it’s always important to shop local and it’s more important than ever to give back to the local economy and really help to build the local business community.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Great expectations

Spartz, Hale bombarded voters

Commentary by Terry Anker Sometimes, things just don’t work out as expected. Sometimes, things are complicated by weather or act of God or old-fashioned bad luck. Sometimes, our expectations were not right from the beginning. And, yes, sometimes, the folks on the other side of the transaction are just not getting the job done.

They didn’t do what they promised – and they probably couldn’t have done it even if they’d tried. We shake our collective fists in the air and exclaim, “Why did you agree to do this if you were not able?”

Don’t they understand the frustration they’ve caused?

But what does it really matter? Sure, we built up our expectations – maybe they even helped to do it. We relied upon other people to deliver on time and as promised. They did not, yet we did our part. We showed up prepared and ready to go. Now, we wait for them.

Even worse, we do their work to help them catch-up – in part for kindness and in part so we don’t have to wait any longer. Why does it seem to matter so much? Are a few minutes here or there really going to make much difference in a lifetime of minutes?

Do we have a low tolerance for inconvenience? High performers consistently deliver. It goes with the job. So, it stands to reason that such expectations would be universally applied. But what of the middle and low performers? What of the high performer having a bad day?

What’s the limit on our reasonable expectations? And if we give in too soon, do we fail to keep standards high? Are we further pushing our culture down the slope into decline? If we expect too little, are we dooming ourselves to endless banality? Or, if we expect too much, are we inviting unhappiness and failure?

Dance fever coming on Commentary by Danielle Wilson Guess what, folks. In a few short days, I’ll be heading down to my youngest daughter’s first dance competition of HUMOR the year in good ole Nashville, Tenn. Because, you know, why not? Amid a global pandemic, the holiday rush and a presidential election season like no other, who wouldn’t want to spend a weekend trapped in a hotel/convention center with hundreds of bedazzled kids, their screaming parents, and enough false eyelashes to create a small army of black cats? The show must go on!

And in one sense, I’m actually relieved to be returning to a normal part of our pre2020 lives. I’ve missed seeing her team on stage, the inevitable costume malfunctions and the joy and angst that envelop teenage girls who perform high-energy routines in low-cut leotards. I’ve also missed the social aspect of being judgy with the other moms.

A little wine plus a little cattiness equals a whole lot of laughter and the occasional

pants-peeing.

But given the general state of affairs and the timing of this event, I can’t say I’m thrilled. My tiny dancer has already had COVID-19, along with most of her friends, but I have not. Somehow, I’ve managed to survive almost four months of in-person teaching without contracting the plague. How crazy stupid will I feel if I end up sick simply because I borrowed a contaminated can of Aqua Net to cement a low bun? Ugh. So, we’ll wear our masks and sit 6-feet apart and remember to sanitize as if it is the plague. And I’ll cheer for her and comfort her and remember that life, like the show, must go on.

Peace out.

Editor, Now that the election is over and Victoria Spartz has been declared the winner, I’d like to express my disgust at the campaign run by both her and her opponent, Christina Hale. Voters were bombarded by TV ads around the clock for weeks, with each candidate offering nothing but half-truths and innuendo about the other. There was little explanation about what each candidate would do for her constituents if elected, although toward the end, Hale did say she would fight for health care for all Hoosiers. As for Spartz, all we know is that she is against socialism (which she defines as communism) and will stand with President Trump, which is now moot. She told us nothing about her plans for any of our major concerns — health care, climate control, taxes, the pandemic — and absolutely nothing about how she will work with Democrats to achieve any of those goals.

Both candidates behaved badly. It would behoove Spartz to now step forward and explain what she can actually do for us, rather than continue dog-whistle rallying cries to Trump’s base.

Unhealthy FaceTime food habits Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Every Sunday morning, we Zoom with our fellow church members. We begin by praying … that the link will work. I HUMOR don’t like Zoom. I always fear I’ll end up in the center square, and I’m not as funny as Paul Lynde on “Hollywood Squares.” Or worse, I’ll be in a bottom square and I’m not as good looking as the father on “The Brady Bunch.”

Some people just put up a photo of themselves because they are having a bad hair year. I hate being on camera. On TV, I made my photographer pull way back once I turned 65. I wanted viewers to know they were watching the news and not a rerun of “The Walking Dead.”

When we have Wi-Fi issues during Zoom services, my face freezes and people don’t know if I’m thinking about the sermon or

have just fallen asleep. One of the newer church members forgot to mute herself and said to her husband, “He had a lot more personality on TV.” I slouch, so I look like I married a younger woman — one who’s 2 feet taller than I am.

And then, all you can see is the very top of my head. Several people have texted my wife and asked her why my hairline receded so much during the pandemic.

We sometimes use FaceTime. We never know whether to choose the vertical or horizontal orientation on the phone. Mary Ellen and I sat on the couch once and experimented with different positions (that sounds like a lot more fun than it was).

Last week, we FaceTimed with our friends, the Goslings, at dinnertime to enjoy our meals while we chatted. The Goslings heated a Trader Joe’s pizza. We picked one up from a local pizzeria. I’m not a com-

petitive person, but our pizza looked a lot tastier than theirs, meaning it was greasier and less healthy. Without any warning, Dan reached out of frame for a garden salad they had prepared. Mary Ellen immediately switched off the camera.

“What are you doing?” I asked my wife.

“I’m so embarrassed. They are having vegetables. We just have pizza. This is not good for my reputation as a health-conscious person.”

With that, Mary Ellen ran to the fridge and returned a few seconds later with a coffee mug filled with a healthy side dish.

“I’m sorry,” she said to Dan and Noel.

“I forgot the carrot sticks. We eat carrot sticks at every meal. Even breakfast. And between meals. And that darn pizza place forgot to put the broccoli and cauliflower on my half of the pizza.”

We had a lovely dinner. The Goslings were fun to talk to, even though they were in a vegetative state.

One Trick Pony to open temporarily in Fishers Test Kitchen

Look for dividend-paying stocks — Dividend-paying stocks tend to hold up better than the overall market during volatile times and economic slowdowns. But many large-cap, blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains the past year, so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better defensive strategy is to invest in dividend-paying medium-sized companies -- those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10 billion. Their businesses are mature enough to pay reliable dividends but still have the ability to grow much faster than large companies. Also, their stocks are bigger bargains. To find attractive dividend-paying, mid-cap stocks, look for companies with steady recurring revenues, little or no debt, leading market positions in their niches and strong enough cash flow to increase dividends at least 10 percent annually for the next five years. Dividend

growth is the best indication that earnings are growing and that management believes they will continue to grow.

Feinstein, Patty to present free holiday show for online audience

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As artistic director of the Carmel-based Center for the Performing Arts and founder of the Great American CONCERT Songbook, Michael Feinstein was eager to give a performance at the Palladium.

“To have the opportunity to reconnect and do a concert as we head into the holiday season is something fortifying for me and (am) happy for the community as well,” Feinstein said. “(The) making of music is important in all our lives because music is a great normalizer and brings us back to our hearts. Especially as we move into the holiday season, music will remind of holidays past and hopefully will bring us a little peace and healing.”

“Home for the Holidays” featuring Feinstein and special guest Sandi Patty will be livestreamed free at 8 p.m. Nov. 20 from the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “(Patty) is pure love,” Feinstein said.

“She is going to do some solo numbers and I think we have one duet planned for the end of the show.”

Feinstein has performed with Patty before through the years.

“It’s always warm and comfortable,” he said.

Feinstein said the music will celebrate the season.

“We’ll play beloved holiday music and other songs we feel appropriate for this time,” he said.

Feinstein expects the show to run between 75 and 90 minutes.

Feinstein will be backed by pianist Miro Sprague, drummer Mark McLean and bassist Steve Dokken. Patty will be accompanied on several numbers by pianist Steve Potts.

“It’s going to be great to work with other musicians again because the show that I did previously in Carmel for the volunteers was just me at the piano,” Feinstein said.

‘Home for the Holidays’ “Home for the Holidays: An Evening with Michael Feinstein and Special Guest Sandi Patty,” a free livestream, 8 p.m. Nov. 20, Center for the Performing Arts, Carmel.

To register, visit thecenterpresents.org/ holidays.

Westfield Playhouse’s ’A Raisin in the Sun’ postponed again Michael Feinstein will perform “Home for the Holidays” with special guest Sandi Patty in a free livestream show. (Submitted photo)

Feinstein performed for the volunteers and the staff at the Center for Performing Arts. He has held a few other virtual concerts but longs for the return of playing in front of an audience.

“For the most part, I don’t like doing the virtual appearances. They just don’t hold a candle to the live experience,” he said.

“Music is a collaborative experience, and for me, the audience is the crucial factor in what makes the music unique. The live performing experience is connected to energy and feelings of the audience and also the performing space. All those elements are crucial. Of course, I love the Palladium and the acoustics.”

Normally, Feinstein would do a long run at Feinstein’s/54 Below in New York during the holiday season. He hasn’t been to New York since February because of the pan-

demic, splitting time between Los Angeles and Carmel.

The Center for the Performing Arts shut down live performances in mid-March, forcing Feinstein’s spring concert to be canceled.

Patty, known as “The Voice,” is one of the most acclaimed vocalists in contemporary Christian music, with 40 Dove Awards, five Grammy Awards and numerous other accolades. After several years of living in Indiana, she and her husband, Don, moved to her native Oklahoma.

The event is sponsored by Marquis Commercial Solutions and is part of the “Center Presents 2020-2021 Season,” sponsored

by Allied Solutions. Current Publishing LLC is the media sponsor.

To register for the free event, visit thecenterpresents.org/holidays.

editorial@youarecurrent.com Main Street Productions President Brandi Davis announced Nov. 6 the performances of “A Raisin in the Sun,” which were set to begin Nov. 12 and run through Nov. 22 at Westfield Playhouse, have been postponed.

“We have actors in the production who are showing symptoms of COVID, so we will not be able to open,” said Davis, whose organization runs the shows at Westfield Playhouse.

The occasion marks the second time the production has been shut down. Less than a week before the March 20 opening, it was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Davis said Main Street Productions doesn’t plan to reschedule the production but wants to offer a single viewing of the livestream. However, details won’t be available until the organization communicates with the licensing house. For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

Goose the Market

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 2503 N.

It serves sandwiches and charcuterie boards to order, and most of the sandwiches change daily.

My favorite item was The Tour, a charcuterie board featuring Smoking Goose meats and local cheeses for $12 per person.

The board has Prosciutto di Parma, Cahills Irish Porter cheese, Smoking Goose Pig and Fig Terrine, dates, Gordal olives, Macona almonds, Cambozola cheese, Smoking Goose Toscano and Everton cheese. It features a

I also tried a few sandwiches for $8.95 each. The Batali and the Goose are menu staples. The Batali features Smoking Goose Coppa, Smoking Goose Soppressata, Smoking Goose Capacolla, provolone, romaine, marinated onions, giardiniera, mayo and tomato preserves in a slightly spicy, totally delicious sandwich. The Goose has Smoking Goose Prosciutto di Parma, creamy fresh mozzarella, basil, black pepper and olive oil. You can’t go wrong with either, but if you’re more of a spice fan, opt for the Batali.

HSE presents comedic play Shakespeare works

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Maddie Harris is used to being behind the scenes in Hamilton Southeastern High School THEATER Drama Club productions.

Typically on the tech crew, she will make her acting debut in “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)” Caron at 7 p.m. Nov. 19 in a livestreaming show. Harris decided she wanted to audition. The play runs Nov. 19-21.

“I didn’t expect to get cast since I had never auditioned before, but when Harris I saw the cast list, I was excited to learn otherwise,” Harris said. “I am happy that we’ve found a safe way to put on our fall show. As a senior, I only have a few shows left as a part of HSE Drama Club, so being able to have this show is a huge deal for me.”

Harris plays one of three narrators along with seniors Annie Cushman and Alexys Hatch.

“The most challenging part of my role is that there is a lot of ad lib, which requires me to always be on my toes and prepared for anything,” Harris said. “I have had no experience with Shakespearean language outside of my sophomore English class, so this show has been an interesting learning experience. I have had so much fun with this role.

“It has a lot of flexibility to play around,

and I’ve been able to develop this character into something really fun and unique.”

Hatch said it has been fun to be part of the show.

“We spent time working on the jokes that were written in the script, and now that we have gotten comfortable with that material, we are able to start adding our own comedic flair to things,” Hatch said. “This show allows us to laugh with each Cushman other, at each other and at ourselves. This show was originally written for three guys who spent the entire hour production running around in wigs and costumes and trying to put on all of Shakespeare’s Hatch work alone. We expanded the cast to a group of 17, so we have a lot of actors who play different characters from Shakespeare’s works while myself and three other actors provide context and funny moments while also getting to be a part of the various shows. I play a version of myself as well as Macbeth.”

Senior Audrey Caron plays Hamlet.

“We do a whole run of the Shakespeare works and then we do it again faster and faster,” Caron said. “Then we do it backwards, so I can say Shakespeare backwards, which is kind of stressful. It’s like nothing we’ve ever done before, but it’s really cool to be a part of.”

Another of the organization’s mission is education, so Kirk brought Kris Kukul in for a visit. Kukul is the music director, orchestrator, arranger and music supervisor for “Beetlejuice The Musical.” He also wrote the incidental music for it. The musical was running when Broadway shut down in March.

Kukul held an Audition Master Class at Grace Church Nov. 2. He then met with Discovering Broadway supporters that night for a chat at 3UP Rooftop Lounge in Carmel.

Kris is from (Ohio) and now he’s a music director on Broadway, so he knows great art and great artists start in the Midwest. Coming here and telling people firsthand was meaningful for us and I hope it was meaningful for him.”

Kukul worked on “Beetlejuice” for a few years before it landed on Broadway in April 2019.

in a Low-Maintenance Villa!

A history of Wellington’s Shipwreck Coast Commentary by Don Knebel The coastline near Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, has been the site of so many shipwrecks that it is ofTRAVEL ten called “Shipwreck Coast.”

Wellington lies along the western side of Wellington Harbour, a natural harbor at the southern tip of the North Island. Entrance to the harbor is through a narrow channel leading from the often-stormy waters of the Cook Strait that separates New Zealand’s two islands.

In 1859, to guide ships entering the harbor, New Zealand’s first permanent lighthouse was built atop a hill on Pencarrow Head, the headland on the east side of the channel.

The lighthouse was unable to prevent ships being lost in and around the channel. One of the problems was that coastal fog often obscured the lighthouse. As a result, in 1906, another lighthouse was built along the shore below the original lighthouse. In July of that same year, the S.S. Paika, a small iron screw steamer built in 1881, sank in a severe storm in view of the then-two Pencarrow Head lighthouses. The most tragic shipwreck occurred April 10, 1968, when the ferry TEV

Wahine capsized and sank in a severe storm at the entrance to Wellington Harbour, killing 51 of the 734 people onboard.

In 1987, the rusting hull of the S.S. Paika was recovered by the Eastbourne Historical Society and placed beside the narrow dirt road that leads to the Pencarrow Head lighthouses. A nearby plaque says that the wreckage is intended “to commemorate the lives & ships lost on this coastline.”

card-carrying word nerds) would appreciate learning about these twisted figures of speech. One of my favorite paraprosdokians is from fellow columnist and Okie, Will Rogers, who famously said, “I don’t belong to an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.”

Regardless of which side of the aisle you find yourself, that’s funny.

Since you’re reading a newspaper, I’ll share another paraprosdokian from another columnist, Mark Twain: “If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re misinformed.”

We’ll see if my editor keeps that one in or not!

Many of the most notable paraprosdokians come from comedians, who make a living playing with words. Rodney Dangerfield quipped, “When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.” Comedian Steven Wright joked, “On the other hand, you have different fingers.”

I’ve never heard of an “aunt-in-law,” but I know it’s a thing. The beauty of having a spouse’s aunt or uncle in your family is that you have every right GRAMMAR GUY to call them by his or her first name, unlike your in-laws, who get to dictate how you address them. Today’s linguistic inspiration comes from my wife’s Aunt Julie, all the way up in Bemidji, Minn. Thanks for the idea, Julie!

Aunt Julie pointed my interests to paraprosdokians, which are figures of speech in which the second part of the sentence makes you do a double-take, changing the meaning from what you thought based on the first part of the sentence. I’ll explain in a minute. But first, it’s important to know that “paraprosdokian” comes from the Greek, and it means “against expectation.”

The first known use of the word paraprosdokian in print is from an 1891 article in the British humor magazine “Punch.”

Paraprosdokians turn our brains into scrambled eggs, and the result is delightful. I knew Grammar Guy readers (who are

Current provides excellent value and reach with both its print and digital offerings. I feel confident Current’s weekly newspaper helps O’Malia’s Living draw customers from across the six northern markets it covers. The targeted email campaigns increase visitors to my website, giving me the opportunity to gain new customers. These results are why I have Current’s print and digital solutions in my advertising plans for 2020.

Friday and Saturday November 21 and 22 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., come to Carmel Christian Church, 463 East Main Street, and take advantage of some of the best buys you will see this year. These are handmade items made by the women. You will find beautiful baskets and purses and jewelry and material and so much more.

We will do whatever is necessary to help.
