Pilot program equips female inmates to be business owners after release

By Anna Skinner and Rachel Greenberg anna@youarecurrent.com When inmate Jennifer Bellah leaves the Hamilton County Jail, she has a detailed business plan to HAMILTON COUNTY follow to create her own baking business. She will soon be a graduate of the new Launch HOPE Foundation, which equips female inmates with skills such as sewing or entrepreneurship to prepare them for life outside of jail so they’re less likely to return behind bars.

The Launch HOPE Foundation started in the Hamilton County Jail earlier this year. It is only available to female inmates. The program is led by Butler professor Kristi Mitchell, who teaches the women entrepreneurial skills. A portion of the program teaches tangible skills, like sewing.

Bellah, who is serving time for theft, is grateful for the Launch HOPE Foundation experience. She said with a criminal history, it’s hard to get a good job, but now she plans to be self-employed.

“It’s like a merry-go-round,” she said.

“I don’t want to steal. I don’t want to use drugs. But I can’t wait three weeks to get a paycheck because I was living in a hotel.

I have to go out and do this (steal). You’ve never had a hand to get off (the merry-goround), and now I have that hand to get off. That’s what they do. God put me here for a reason because I was not going to be stopped on my own.”

Bellah previously worked for Cake Bake in Broad Ripple and is skilled in cake decorating. As she navigated her business creation plan with the Launch HOPE Foundation, she wanted to start a wedding cake and cupcake business but realized she needed more name recognition in that industry before launching that dream.

Upon release, Bellah will live at The Hope Center for a year, which also has a commercial kitchen she plans to work out of.

“I’m still doing cupcakes and cakes, but

to get started, I’ll be doing business-to-business. To start as a decorator, you have to have a (well-known) name,” Bellah said. “So, to establish myself for the first few years, I’ll be doing cupcakes, cookies, gourmet English muffins and scones for businesses, so I won’t have a storefront.”

Bellah’s baked goods will be sold at businesses, offices, coffee shops, cafeterias and hospitals.

Bellah is scheduled to be released by Dec. 28 or earlier, and she’s eager to get started.

She said her dream feels real.

“I have always thought about doing a business on my own, but I didn’t know how to get there,” Bellah said. “I had no idea. I never would’ve had the confidence to do it, either. So now, I literally have a whole business plan set up. All we are waiting for is me to get out. It feels wonderful. “(Mitchell) has taught us a lot how to get from Point A to Point B.” Mitchell, an Indianapolis resident, teaches a business accelerator program to the

women while they’re in jail and after their release.

“I vet business concepts, and when they get released, they have the option to go into the business accelerator where they bring their company to market,” Mitchell said.

College interns help the new entrepreneurs with launching a proof-of-concept plan, marketing, website design and sourcing suppliers.

“Whatever their unique business needs, they work with the entrepreneur – not just doing it for them, but doing it with them so the entrepreneur learns simultaneously,” Mitchell said.

Nine women are enrolled in the program in the Hamilton County Jail. An additional 10 women are on a waitlist.

The Launch HOPE Foundation also has an entrepreneurship center at the Phalen Leadership Academy on the east side of Indianapolis. Three new entrepreneurship centers are planned.

The facility is one of only a few Humane Societies in the country that have their own animal surgery suite on site. The installed heating, ventilating, air-conditioning system is unique because of the large quantity of outside air which provides a healthy environment for the animals. The project used both the Duke Energy Mid-Stream HVAC program and their prescriptive lighting program to capture rebates for the high efficiency lighting and oc-

Shade shows her versatility for NHS girls basketball team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School guard Ashlynn Shade’s list of final eight college choices reads like a who’s who of women’s college basketball.

Shade, one of the most highly sought juniors in the nation, has narrowed her list to Connecticut, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tennessee, Louisville, Indiana University, Vanderbilt and North Carolina.

“The thing I am looking for most in a college is a family culture,” Shade said. “I know wherever I go I am going to be surrounded by so much talent, so the biggest thing for me is culture, looking for my home away from home.”

The 5-foot-9 Shade is ranked No. 5 in ESPN’s Class of 2023 recruiting rankings.

Shade averaged 23.9 points on 47 percent shooting and 8.1 rebounds last season to help the Millers to a 21-5 record and their first sectional crown since 2015.

“Ash is a hard worker,” Millers coach Donna Buckley said. “She is a straight-A student who excels on and off the floor. In addition to being a great student/athlete, she is also

a joy to coach.”

Shade helped her father, Matt Shade, coach a third-grade team from IGB to an AAU national title last summer.

“They’re like my little sisters,” said Shade,

who played for the Lady Gym Rats last summer but plans to play for IGB next summer.

Shade, who averaged 20.5 points as a freshman, was averaging 19.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and five assists in the Millers’ (50) first five games this season.

“The most improvements I have made from last season is being a better leader for my team and making everyone around me better,” Shade said. “My goals are very team oriented this year, so being a better leader will help our team accomplish those goals.”

Shade said there are always parts of her overall game she is seeking to improve.

Shade said she and the team are very motivated after reaching regionals last season.

“Because it proved to ourselves what we were capable of, and with our team returning so many players, it makes us even hungrier to go even farther in the tournament,” she said.

At a young age, Shade played multiple sports because she liked to stay active.

“But basketball has always been my love.

When I would play other sports, all I could think about was dribbling a ball,” she said.

“It wasn’t until middle school when I solely focused on basketball.”

The Duke Energy Foundation recently awarded the Hamilton County Center for Career DONATION Achievement a $20,000 grant. The money will be used to support the development and expansion of educational programming for students in Labarr the Hamilton County public school systems.

The HCCCA was established in June to coordinate and expand course offerings for students in all six public school systems in Hamilton County. Its mission is to provide students an understanding of high-wage, high-demand jobs available in their communities while giving them the education, credentials and college credits to pursue those occupations after leaving high school.

“The idea is to expand career and tech offerings. When you think of careers and tech, there is a stigma that it is only things such as construction and cosmetology. But the goal of every high school student is to have a career at some point,” said Carrie Lively, the career center’s executive director. “The funding is helping identify curriculum that needs to be adjusted and adapted for the career force and to recruit students and to really grow and retrain our own talent pipeline in Hamilton County.”

Community Relations Manager for Duke Energy Mark Labarr said the company wants to help every student realize their full potential.

“We are fully supportive of this work.

When folks are skilled up for the changing economy and workforce needs, when our communities thrive, that is when Duke is thriving as well,” he said. “When the economy is going well and growing and expanding well, Duke is, too.”

Labarr pointed to careers at Duke as an example of what is available to students after high school that they might not be aware of.

“Certainly, college is apLively propriate for a number of students, but we have jobs — good-paying jobs available with a high school diploma, such as line work with a four-year apprenticeship paid for by Duke,” he said. “And after four years, they can be earning six figures without going to college, and I think that would be attractive to folks.”

“These are the conversations we have to have to destigmatize these opportunities,” Lively said. “We have told students there is one pathway, and that is to graduate high school and go to college and find a job. But there are a lot of jobs that can provide for your family and provide great futures for a child that does not meet the college-for-all rhetoric. A big focus of HCCCA is educating the community on occupations that are available.”

HCCCA plans to pilot multiple programs in fall 2022 to offer opportunities not previously available to students.

“We are looking at building a program in key economic sectors — ag, health care, manufacturing, construction trade and cybersecurity,” Lively said.

The funding will run through September 2022.

City of Fishers, HSE Schools partner with teacher-in-residence program

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern Schools are taking hands-on learning to a new level.

The organizations recently added two destinations to a program that started seven years ago as the Nature First program at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve. Students in grades corresponding with state standards that are taught at the destinations visit those destinations several times a year for hands-on learning.

After Amy Risinger retired as a New Britton Elementary first-grade teacher in 2019, she joined the Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. as an education outreach coordinator.

She already was familiar with the park’s Nature First program.

Risinger “I had the good fortune to fall in love with this program as an HSE teacher, and as I retired, the position to guide this program was presented to me and I jumped right on it because it’s literally the most perfect job,” Risinger said.

For Nature First, every first-grade HSE student visits the Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve twice a year, and Risinger visits each student’s classroom three times a year.

After seeing the impact hands-on learning had with students, the city and school district enhanced their partnership and established more hands-on learning day trips, such as at Conner Prairie, AgriPark and Maker Playground in Hub & Spoke. Second-graders visit the AgriPark, fourth-graders visit Conner Prairie and fifth-graders visit the Maker Playground.

Brooke Daniel is the HSE teacher-in-residence at the AgriPark. Jennifer Suskovich is the HSE teacher-in-residence at the Maker Playground. Both trips are new this year, but the teachers aren’t new to HSE. Daniel previously taught first grade and Daniel Suskovich taught fifth- and sixth-grade science.

program that has existed for four years.

The AgriPark program, called Farm 2 Table, welcomes students three times a year.

“Unit 1 is about plant and animal adaptations. Unit 2 is centered around erosion and engineering and design process. Unit 3 is around planting, weather, temperature and measurement,” Daniel said. “It’s all done at the AgriPark. They get there, we do a lesson, whatever the focus is for that unit, and then they’re out exploring, collecting data, doing observation.”

The AgriPark class is from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

For the Maker Playground, all fifth-grade students in HSE Schools visit twice per semester.

“They are doing lots of different STEM activities to give them an in-depth Suskovich look,” Suskovich said.

“All these programs are all based on the Indiana state standards,” Risinger said.

Daniel said the hands-on programming al-

lows students to learn in a real-world way.

“It really takes the standards off of the paper,” she said. “What they’re learning is huge in all these programs.”

Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Sarah Sandquist said the City of Fishers prioritized experiential learning over strictly classroom learning.

“We focus a lot in the city on experiential learning and creating experiences for the students to Sandquist learn within their city,” Sandquist said. “We were really thinking about what other opportunities (are available) to get out of the classroom and have real-world experience. We’ve always been great partners with HSE schools, and this is just another extension.”

Taking students outside of the classroom allows them to discover that they can learn anywhere.

“These learning experiences level the playing field for all kids,” Risinger said.

EXPANDING TO CITY HALL Another hands-on field trip is in the planning stage. It will require all third-grade students to visit Fishers City Hall for civic education standards.

A City Hall tour already exists, but a teacher-in-residence isn’t employed at City Hall.

“We kind of have a civic program now but it’s not every third-grader,” Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Sarah Sandquist. “We would like to see that as it aligns with the learning standards of third grade. At some point, we’d like to build that out.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Polite lies

A social engineering triumph

Commentary by Terry Anker Although there are countless ways to do it, there are none that don’t hurt, at least a little. When it is time for the breakup, somebody always feels the sting. Sure, Hollywood types talk about the “conscious uncoupling” from their fourth marriage. And occasionally, the relationship is not particularly beneficial to either party – it is just that neither side wants to call it quits. In business, and also family, not everything lasts forever. It may have been the best contract ever when it was signed, or so it seemed. Still, we rarely benefit in exactly the same way all the time.

So the conversation, whether in person, by email, phone, video call, post-it note or sky writing, usually starts with some attempt to make the soon-to-be injured party think that the person delivering the bad news is still a good person. “It is not anybody’s fault. It’s not you, it is me. We’re going to try another direction but don’t want for us to end with any negative feelings.” OK. If there is so much love, why is the relationship ending?

What they probably are avoiding saying is more like, “This relationship does not work and cannot end fast enough to suit me – it is your fault and there is no way to make it go with an idiot like you.” Well, maybe it is not quite that mean-spirited. But when we hold back, are we doing so to protect the feelings of others or to assuage our own guilt for our part in the failure? If we are entirely correct in the decision, would it be more helpful to the other person to say why, or would it be pointlessly cruel to explain our understanding of the problem? If we learn from our mistakes, what can we learn from a polite lie?

Folks, I recently made real progress in my 70/30 commitment to be more social.

I am not fully dedicated to this goal because I recognize my limits both as an introvert and an early-to-bed hater of evenings. But my husband Doo doesn’t want me to become an agoraphobic cat lady when he passes, which will almost certainly be before me, so he’s been pushing me to make friends and “get out there” on a more regular basis. And though I absolutely loathe the idea, I recognize he probably has a point about me becoming a curmudgeonly hermit.

Read on for the details of my small personal triumph.

The school where I teach organized a series of trivia nights to encourage faculty to get to know each other better.

I chose one where the venue and date played into my well-orchestrated workday routine: It was close to my house and would be over by 9 p.m. But as the big moment approached, I could feel my anxiety kick in and looked for excuses to bail. “I’m too tired!” “This lady who also signed up is in a different department.” “I don’t wanna! Wah!” Doo and my daughter did little to hide their disgust and eventually shamed me into going.

And I’m so glad they did. We discovered a new place, enjoyed time together and took home third place (we headed into the final question in first, but mixed up the number of Elvis’ Grammys with Shaq’s NBA career 3-pointers. Stupid!).

My colleague never showed, so I didn’t technically socialize, but I did spend two hours at a bar on a Thursday! Yay, me!

Peace out.

DISPATCHES

HEALTH Eye pain relief — When something small and abrasive gets in your eye — such as a piece of sand or dirt whipped up by the wind — the last thing you want to do is rub it against your fragile cornea. Try this instead - grab a facial tissue. With one hand, pull your lashes so that the upper lid is away from your eye. With the other hand holding the tissue, gently blow your nose three times. The pressure should make that foreign object fly away.

Any more than 1500mg can cause diarrhea. Take 10-25mg of zinc per day. Be aware, though, that zinc lozenges

Now it looks like choosing the right beverage can also help. Women who sip green or oolong tea may be able to gain extra breast cancer protection, according to a study published in the journal Anticancer Research. Researchers at St. Louis University in Missouri, led by Chunfa Huang, Ph.D., an associate research professor in the department of internal medicine, tested extracts of various teas against several types of

breast cancer cells. Huang included extracts from green, oolong, black and other dark teas. His results indicated that green and oolong teas could stop the growth of breast cancer cells; the two types of tea worked equally well against all the cell lines Huang tested. Black and other dark teas had no effect, he said.

Carmel father/daughter duo get opportunity to act together in ‘Elf The Musical’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jack Tanselle has a special reason for returning to the stage to act for the first time in 23 years; he gets to THEATER perform with his daughter.

The last time he performed was in a graduate school follies show in 1998 at Northwestern University.

“My daughter has been in a number of shows at Civic Theatre over the years,” the Carmel resident said.

A senior at Park Tudor High School, Mary Kate Tanselle was trying out for her first main stage show as an adult when she auditioned.

“She and others encouraged me to go through a show with her and go through the process of preparing for a show with her, realizing there may not be another moment when that can actually happen,” Jack said. “I was pretty excited when I got the role.”

Jack and Mary Kate will appear together in Civic Theatre’s production of “Elf The Musical” from Dec. 3 to 24 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Jack plays Walter Hobbs, Buddy the Elf’s father. Mary Kate is in the ensemble.

“Prior to her getting her driver’s license, the most involved we were was chauffeuring her to rehearsals,” Jack said. “We were living vicariously through her on what the whole process was like. But it’s been a whole other experience to be here every night with rehearsals. One funny thing is, we are not in a scene together until the finale by the role I play and all the different roles she plays. When I’m not in a scene, I’m able to watch her and vice versa.

“She’s had an awesome experience with the staff at Civic over the last eight to 10 years, and she has turned around and been quite a helpful coach to me.”

Jack said he had to learn the process of memorizing lines and getting comfortable reacting.

Mary Kate said she has watched videos

of her father performing at Lebanon High School.

“It’s been fun to see him perform again.

It’s been especially fun to see him do it at Civic, a place I’ve grown up and done so many performances here,” she said. “He’s always been in the audience, and it’s fun to have him on the stage at this time. We had a lot of friends and family pushing him to do it. I helped him prep for the audition and gave him the best tricks and tips I know. That was fun, too.”

Mary Kate said the dancing for her role is intense.

“It’s really hard to not laugh at Matt Bays, who plays Buddy,” Mary Kate said.

“Your character has to keep a straight face, and sometimes he’s so darn funny, you can’t keep a straight face.”

Bays, a former Westfield resident who moved to Cincinnati, is returning in the role he played in Civic’s 2019 production of “Elf The Musical.”

Indianapolis resident Carrie Neal returns in the role of Emily Hobbs, Walter’s wife.

“I never had any doubt about that,” Neal said of wanting to reprise the role. “I sing five or six songs by myself or with someone. We get to be part of the action, which is really fun. I’ve been doing (theater) as a volunteer and professional for more than 20 years, and I would put this in the top three shows (I’ve) ever done.

“The audiences love it so much. There is something special about bringing the holiday to someone.”

Noblesville resident Emily Bohannon returns in the role of Jovie.

“The way you play a character has so much to do with the people who share a stage with you,” Bohannon she said. “I’m reacting to their energy. There are changes I’ve made, and changes Matt has made. In 2019, I just wanted to do a good job (and) I was so tense. This time, I’m more relaxed and having more fun.”

Anderson returns to Palladium

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com For professional singer Jessamyn Anderson, performing with the Indiana Wind Symphony each December CONCERT is something more than an annual stop on a busy tour schedule.

It’s how she ushers in the holidays.

“I am thrilled to sing with the Indiana Wind Symphony for 10 years in a row,” said Anderson, a Carmel native who resides in Columbia, Tenn. “It has become a bit of a holiday tradition to start the season on the Palladium stage, and I am grateful that the trend continues.”

A 2011 Carmel High School graduate, Anderson will perform twice with the IWS during its Dec. 5 presentations of “Santa and Mrs. Claus Visit the Palladium” and “A Most Glorious Season.” Both shows are at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Geared for younger audiences, “Santa and Mrs. Claus” is a 50-minute show that starts at 2 p.m. “A Most Glorious Season” is a full concert that starts at 7 p.m.

Anderson, a soprano whose first professional singing opportunity was with the IWS during her freshman year in college, looks forward to what has become a holiday and a homecoming tradition.

“This will be my 10th season performing with the ensemble, and it’s honestly more fun every year,” she said. “In a way, I’ve grown up professionally alongside this group of musicians, and it’s a joy to come

back each year.”

Among other holiday and winter favorites, Anderson will sing “White Christmas,” “O Holy Night,” “Merry Christmas Darling” and “Let it Go.” “We always look forward to this day because it is such a wonderful time for the audience,” IWS founder/Music Director Charles Conrad said. “(The show) reminds us all of holidays with our family and friends.”

Anderson agrees.

“Live music is essential to a culture in desperate need of hope and unity, particularly during the holidays, which can be a hard time for those grieving loved ones or experiencing the weight of loneliness,” she said. “I am honored to bring the Christmas spirit into the hearts of all who attend this concert or tune into the livestream.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel cosmetic kitchen upgrade Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1999, this home is in Carmel’s Emerald Estates neighborhood. The owners wanted to update the kitchen without replacing the cabinets.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The existing cabinets were in excellent shape, so they were freshened up with new paint. The countertop was replaced with quartz.

• One new base cabinet was added to the island to provide additional storage. The doors feature wire mesh for visibility and added style.

• Wine racking was installed in the niche above the oven for more functionality.

• The flooring is luxury vinyl plank in a beautiful, weathered finish.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling; email him at lgreene@caseindy.com.
