By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com Lawrence resident Lorri Sankowsky started ghost hunting in the greater Indianapolis area about three HALLOWEEN decades ago, joining a group called Indiana Ghost Trackers with a friend.

“I just wanted to be in the graveyard at night, and be safe,” she said. “I wanted to be scared.”

Her friend, Keri Young, was more into the scientific aspects, she said, so they had different reasons for joining the group. But they liked the experience enough to eventually become co-directors of Indiana Ghost Trackers.

“We met about once a month at Glendale Library, and we would have guided ghost hunts, and sometimes we would go to cemeteries or buildings or things like that,” she said. “We were also being contacted for private investigations — people who were having issues in their homes. We’d been doing this for probably four or five years, and we had seen some crazy things, and I told Keri, I said, ‘You know what? We need to start writing this down.’”

They did just that, and later compiled those stories into a book, “Ghost Hunter’s Guide to Indianapolis.”

“We have a chapter on haunted neighborhoods, of which Geist is pretty prominent,” Sankowsky said. “One of the psychics that we worked with very closely, she said that she got more calls for paranormal activity and spiritual cleansing from the Geist area than she had in any other area of Indianapolis.”

Sankowsky said that’s because Geist Reservoir is an unnatural body of water, and it covers the former Germantown.

“When you have ground that’s unnaturally disturbed. and then you have water, which is a fantastic conduit for spiritual activity —

I mean, that’s a pretty good recipe for paranormal activity right there,” she said, adding that the water likely covers graves.

Another part of the book talks about the House of Blue Lights that used to stand where Skiles Test Park is now located at 6828 Fall Creek Rd. in the Lawrence area.

The park is named for the property’s former owner, Skiles Test, who built a house there in the 1920s made from milky white glass.

“It was a huge house, but it looked like a farmhouse,” Sankowsky said. “He also had one of the first privately owned pools in Indianapolis.”

The House of Blue Lights isn’t really a ghost story — it’s more folklore. Somehow, an untrue rumor started that Test had killed his wife and kept her body in a glass coffin lit with blue lights. Although that story

Police seek information about Fishers sex assault – Indiana State Police and the Fishers Police Department announced Oct. 20 that officers are investigating a sexual assault of a minor that occurred Sept. 25 on a trail in the area of 113th Street and Florida Road in Fishers. Police say the assault was recently reported to the Indiana State Police, who then initiated a criminal investigation to identify a suspect.

The Indiana State Police and FPD are asking anyone with any information, doorbell-cam video, etc., to contact Indiana State Police as soon as possible at 317-899-8577.

wasn’t true, Test was an eccentric man who had many pets. When they died, he would take photos of them in their caskets before burying them in a pet cemetery on the property. After he died, albums filled with those photos were discovered.

Sankowsky added that he was what nowadays would be called a “doomsday prepper,” and kept boxes of supplies hidden in outbuildings and tunnels under the house.

There’s no real trace of the house left, she said, and when she went there with her equipment, she found no evidence of paranormal activity.

She did find a few pieces of broken ceramic, though, which she picked up and took home, tucked into a hiking boot. She forgot about them until months later when her husband decided to clean out their closet. When he showed her the newly organized space, the pieces of ceramic were on the floor, but Sankowsky said her husband was sure he had thrown the broken bits away after he had found them in her boot.

“We had no idea how those little pieces got back in the closet, but they were very deliberately there in the middle of the closet so that you would not ever be able to miss them,” she said. “My husband was not a believer in the paranormal and he refused to — I mean, he was scratching his head like, ‘Well, maybe they fell out of my pocket,’ but he distinctly remembered throwing those outside in the trash.”

Sankowsky said she doesn’t go ghost hunting as often as she used to but has advice for those interested in giving it a try — be open-minded, but not gullible.

“The first thing you do is look for the most obvious (explanation),” she said. “If there’s a cold draft, you look for an air conditioning duct or you look for a leaky window or that kind of thing. Everything’s not paranormal.”

But maybe some things are.

Fishers announces 96th Street improvement plans news@currentinfishers.com City of Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness has announced plans for $3.7 million in infrastructure INFRASTRUCTURE upgrades for the city’s 96th Street corridor east of the Interstate 69 interchange.

According to an announcement from the city, those upgrades will include more streetlights, median and landscape construction along North by Northwest Boulevard, and façade improvement grants for businesses along the north side of 96th Street.

Rotarian of the Year named news@currentinfishers.com Scott Tornquist is the Fishers Rotarian of the Year, according to an announcement from the Rotary Club VOLUNTEERISM of Fishers.

Tornquist was chosen by fellow Rotary members largely because of his work with SAWS, or Servants at Work, for the past eight years.

According to the announcement, SAWs was founded in 2003 by Rik Haggerty, a member of Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis. The goal was to build ramps for people with wheelchairs and walkers to easily access their homes. Tornquist has since taken over as SAWS project manager.

“That position means visiting each prospective client, creating ramp drawings and materials lists, and setting up a volunteer sign-up,” the announcement states. “(Tornquist) led eight projects in 2022, while still working full time. Now semi-retired, he hopes to lead 20 ramp projects in the 2023 season.”

Tornquist recalls a woman who is blind who received a ramp.

“She was thrilled that not only could she

leave the house safely, but she could now simply sit outside and feel the warmth of the sun,” he said, adding that the projects fit Rotary’s motto of Service Above Self.

Tornquist has inspired at least 30 Fishers Rotarians, along with their friends and family members, to participate in SAWS projects each year, according to the announcement.

Those interested in learning more about SAWs or in volunteering can call 317-8447664 or visit secondchurch.org/SAWs.

ZCHS junior receiver Hilton drawing heavy college attention

Nicknamed “The Ghost,” he played 10 seasons with the Colts and one season with Dallas in 2022 and was selected to four Pro Bowls.

Hilton, who has 20 scholarship offers so far, said his top six schools now are Missouri, Kentucky, Wisconsin, University of Mississippi, University of Miami and his father’s alma mater, Florida International University.

“It’s nice knowing that hard work pays off and it’s started to finally take notice,” he said.

Hilton caught 49 passes for 598 yards last season as a sophomore. Prior to the Class 6A sectional opener Oct. 27, Hilton had 40 catches for 757 yards and nine touchdowns.

Hilton said his biggest improvement this season is definitely yards after the catch.

shine.”

Hilton said supportive teammates have been important.

“Everyone cheers everyone on and lifts everyone up,” he said.

At 6-foot-1 and just 16 years old, Hilton said his hope is to grow at least 2 or 3 more inches.

“I was kind of slow early on,” he said.

“But as I started to get taller and build strength, I started to get really fast and become really powerful.”

Eagles coach Scott Turnquist said Hilton has developed in a lot of ways since starting varsity late in his freshman season.

“He done a great job working at his craft and getting better in terms of his skill set,” Turnquist said. “Over the last year, he’s done a good job developing his voice as a leader, especially in that receiver group.”

Being around the game his entire life has helped as well.

“When you’re around it a lot, you understand much more stuff than someone, let’s just say, that wasn’t around the game as long,” Hilton said. “It’s just knowing what is going on, and a good feel for the game puts you above everyone else.”

Annual show supports Christmas quilt donation program

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com Hundreds of handmade quilts will be on display during the annual Mudsock Quilters Guild quilt show Nov. 11 at Cornerstone Lutheran Church, 13450 E. 116th St. in Fishers, but none will be for sale.

Each of the one-of-a-kind quilts will be given away on Christmas morning to patients at Community North Hospital.

Guild member Diane Dimpfl started the program six years ago. She said she was receiving care at Community North in Noblesville and was inspired to volunteer there after she recovered. While she was training as a volunteer, she asked if the hospital had a quilt program.

“This is the most famous sentence in my life, because it totally changed my life,” she said.

The hospital didn’t have a quilt program at that time, but wanted to start one, she said, because “there’s no place lonelier than Christmas morning in the hospital.”

During the holidays, patients often have visitors Christmas Eve, Dimpfl said, but not Christmas morning. Through the quilt program, those patients each receive the comfort of not only a beautiful quilt, but the knowledge that someone cared enough to make one just for them.

Dimpfl said the first year of the program, guild members made about 100 quilts and didn’t have enough for all the patients in the hospital. This year, they’ll have at least 300 quilts to distribute, and each of those handmade works of art will be on display during the quilt show.

The show started soon after the quilt distribution program, Dimpfl said. They had never had a show before because the equipment for displaying quilts is expensive to rent. But then Dimpfl had a suggestion.

“I said, ‘Well, why can’t we just drape them over the church pews?’” she said. “And that’s what we did our first time, which we still do at Cornerstone Lutheran Church.

Every inch in that sanctuary, which is quite large, is covered with a quilt.”

Each quilt is numbered, and visitors can vote for their favorite. There’s no charge to attend, but they do ask for a $5 cash-only donation, with all donations going back to

In addition to donations at the door, the Mudsock Quilters Guild will sell raffle tickets for this donated quilt, with proceeds helping to fund the guild’s Christmas quilt program.

the program.

Dimpfl said those funds help with quilt supplies, such as backs and batting.

If there are quilts left over after Christmas morning, the guild donates them to other programs, Dimpfl noted. For example, they contributed about a dozen quilts to relief efforts following this year’s wildfires in Hawaii.

There are more than 200 members in the Mudsock Quilting Guild, she said, and about 75 of those have donated one or more quilts to the show this year. Some of the more prolific quilters have donated up to 30 pieces.

The guild offers classes and workshops for quilters to improve their skills, Dimpfl said. They also run a storeroom at the Community Health Pavilion in Noblesville, managed by Sally Sandilands and several other volunteers.

“All of our fabrics in our storeroom are donated by members,” Sandilands said. “We also get a lot of outside sources that contact us. We have beautiful fabrics in there.

Mudsock members can shop for fabrics and it’s free to them to shop because they’re making a charity quilt with that fabric.”

She said the storeroom is open two days a month — the second Tuesday and the third Monday. It’s not just a storeroom, she said, it’s also where they host programs and come up with ways to challenge their fellow quilters.

“We will make a brown-bag mystery challenge,” she said. “You don’t know what you’re going to get in that bag. You just have to make a quilt out of it.”

They also have not-so-mysterious kits for those who simply need inspiration, and UFOs — unfinished objects — which Sandilands said are quilts “that people have turned in because they don’t want to mess with them anymore.

“So we just have things like that to keep people busy. And that’s how we end up with 300 quilts.”

Sandilands is one of the guild members who donates multiple quilts to the quilt show and Christmas-quilt program. She said

she’s probably turned in 30 pieces this year, and she looks forward to the annual quilt show.

“It’s fun to look at all of them,” she said.

“Sometimes I see one that I made, and I forget that I made it.”

Lessons from the news cycle Commentary by Terry Anker

ESKENAZI HEALTH FOUNDATION IS GRATEFUL TO

FOR THEIR LEAD GIFT TO NAME THE ROBERT & GINA LAIKIN PET THERAPY PROGRAM

The arrival of the 24-hour news cycle delivered an abundance of bad, shocking and salacious information from ESSAY the four corners of our universe.

Where we once had a troupe of editors at the local morning daily paper that would sift through, as Adolph S. Ochs said in 1896, “all the news that’s fit to print,” today we have unfettered access to virtually limitless bits of who-knows-what. Like the shelves of a modern grocery store, not all choices are equally healthy, affordable or necessary. Yet without the guiding hand of someone who is thinking about quality and nutrition, we can slide into some fairly bad habits, eating only what we’ve always eaten while not understanding why we are becoming obese.

We live in an increasingly toxic internet age where thieves send us daily messages by every electronic medium manifesting all matter of deception. And when we seek the worst manifestations of human behavior each morning with our coffee, we come to believe that these abhorrent individuals are

more common than they actually are. Most people are good and decent. Most of us try to behave ourselves. And we do.

But this so-called democratization of news has had a twisted effect. Even as we are horrified to watch in real time as missiles are fired and buildings burn, knowing that there must have been humans where now only flames are seen, others conspire about how terror, death and kidnapping might advance their agenda. Likewise, most read about drug arrests, corruption or even murder and wonder how it has become so commonplace while others find comfort that their own perversions might be perceived as mainstream. The middle school cliché, “Well, everyone is doing it” comes to mind. Does learning of the bad actions of our fellow humans motivate fear, action, disinterest or abject indifference?

READERS’ VIEWS

Ditlevson for council Editor, We are excited to fully support our friend, Tiffanie Ditlevson, for Fishers City Council at large. We’ve watched Tiffanie demonstrate leadership over the years in willing to take on hard challenges and not walk away.

She has lived in Fishers for 17 years, raised a beautiful daughter, is a successful businesswoman and now has time and energy to devote to our city that she loves. She is a big supporter of first responders, and we feel this is in part because she was in the Air Force for almost eight years and a past commander of VFW Post 1120. She has been in tough situations and handles herself with dignity and grace in the midst of neg-

ativity and outright cruelty. She genuinely enjoys meeting with residents of Fishers and makes herself approachable and always wants to know how they are doing and what is important to them. She takes time to get to know people and is a great listener.

This is her first political office she has ever run for, and she deserves a chance to prove what we already know. She would be a great addition to our city and should be elected. She genuinely cares about Fishers and wants to keep it a great place to live, work and play and will work hard for us.

Doug and Shelly Allman, Fishers

Lost another food fight Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Typically, restaurant coupons you get in the mail give you several options. They require some crafty figuring in HUMOR order to know how to most efficiently use them. That’s why we brought along one evening our adult son who has a year of college calculus under his belt. I just wasn’t sure how much stayed in his head.

“It looks to me,” began my wife, Mary Ellen, eyeing the coupons, “that we can get a free burger as long as someone else also orders a burger, two-for-one.”

“Great,” I said.

“Brett and I will each have a burger.”

“Hold it, Dad. I don’t want a burger. I eat them all the time.

I thought you didn’t want me to eat so much red meat?”

“Look, we just have to work together as a family. OK, Mary Ellen, how about this?

If one of us gets an Asian salad, the other gets a salad at half price, as long the second salad is the same or a lesser value.

Which salad do you want?”

“I don’t like the salads here. I want the fish and chips dinner.”

“You can’t have a fish and chips dinner, Mary Ellen. There’s no discount for a fish and chips dinner.”

“Why are we eating out if we can’t get something we like?”

“Because once, just once, I want to show these restaurants that I am not a fool. They are not going to snare me into their trap.

We will save money. I don’t care if we hate every morsel.”

“Hey, Dad, if Mom gets the $14.95 Cobb salad, this coupon says we get a free

appetizer.”

“No, that’s exactly what they want us to do. That won’t save us a penny because we never order an appetizer. So, we don’t gain anything.”

“OK, Dad. Here’s a coupon for a 99-cent draft beer. But you have to order the John Wayne Sirloin for $39.95.”

I was tempted. I sensed growing dissension around the table.

“Here, Dick,” Mary Ellen said. “This part of the coupon says we can get $10 off the check if we spend at least $50.

Then we can order what we want. And what a concept -you know, enjoying what you eat.”

“No, that would – DICK WOLFSIE make the final bill $40, and I want to keep dinner under $40.”

“Why?” “I have no idea. It’s just a personal goal I set.”

Twenty minutes later, the server finally dared approach.

“We’ll have two spinach salads, one of which one is free. And a tenderloin for my son, who was a consultant on this project.”

“You know, Dick,” Mary Ellen said, “I changed my mind. I think I’ll have the fish tacos.”

The bill was $62. I didn’t speak to Mary Ellen the rest of the evening. But I can’t blame the expensive dinner on her. The coupon had expired.

Guest conductor eager for CSO’s Masterworks concert celebrating veterans

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com David Commanday is finding his stint as a Carmel Symphony Orchestra guest conductor to be an enjoyable MUSIC experience.

“The first concert was a great pleasure to prepare and perform with the musicians,” Commanday said. “I think we really hit it off. I love the (concert) hall and I’m really impressed with the town.”

Commanday returns as guest conductor for the third time for Carmel Symphony Orchestra, which will present its Masterworks 2 concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Commanday first served as guest conductor Oct. 7 as Janna Hymes’ resignation as artistic director was announced that day. Hymes resigned to concentrate on her new position as leading the orchestra in Sonoma, Ariz. Commanday then returned Oct. 22 to conduct the Gershwin Kids concert.

Commanday, based in Peoria, Ill., is the conductor of Heartland Festival Orchestra.

He served as music director of the Peoria Symphony Orchestra from 1990 to 2009. “(Masterworks 2) is opening with a piece by Valerie Coleman, an African American composer and performing flutist of real distinction,” Commanday said.

Coleman’s piece is “Umoja, Anthem of Unity,” which she wrote for the wind quintet she played in.

“Later, she was asked by the Philadelphia Orchestra to orchestrate it for full orchestra,” Commanday said. “That’s the first time that orchestra played a piece by an African American woman composer. It’s brilliantly orchestrated and a very beautiful piece. The concert, in my opinion, is about diversity and unity.”

This is the first time Commanday has conducted the piece but he is quite familiar with the other three pieces on the program.

Maurice Ravel’s “Le Tombeau de Couper-

in” is next in the concert.

“At first, it’s not clear how it fits in with Veterans Day and the United States,” Commanday said. “Tombeau means memorial and Couperin was a French composer. The fact is, Ravel is a veteran who wanted to serve in the first World War and was disqualified on medical grounds. In order to serve, he became a medical assistant and drove an ambulance.”

Commanday said Ravel wrote the piece on the piano between 1914 and 1917. When Ravel decided to orchestrate it, he dedicated each of the movements to a friend who died in World War I. “So, it is kind of a tribute to veterans and their sacrifices,” Commanday said.

Charles Ives’ “Variations of America” is the third piece. Ives wrote it when he was 17.

“He wrote a tough pedal part,” Commanday said. “Playing the pedal is almost as much fun as playing baseball.”

Commanday said Ives was an insurance man with a refreshing personality.

“He liked the idea of simultaneous things happening that are disconnected,” Commanday said.

Commanday said there are a couple of moments where two different keys are happening at the same time in “Variations

of America.”

“I consider it a patriotic and celebratory type of thing,” he said.

The final piece is William Grant Still’s “Afro American Symphony No. 1.” It was the first symphony by a Black composer to be performed by a major orchestra. Commanday said in 1930 it became the most performed symphony.

“This is a piece I’ve had the pleasure of performing a couple of times,” Commanday said. “William Grant Still was classically trained as a composer and musician. In this piece, he incorporates themes from jazz, specifically blues. He included that as a celebration of his roots. It’s a symphony that takes the audience on a journey through in four movements. He also includes the sound of the banjo, which is an American instrument.”

Commanday said jazz itself is an infusion of West African influences and European classical music.

“This is a fun symphony with a lot of heart in it,” he said.

J’lan Stewart, from Kokomo, will be featured in the program as a guest soloist.

Stewart was one of 40 national finalists in the Songbook Academy summer intensive program in July.

Singer-songwriter Potter to perform at Palladium

By Alan Sculley editorial@youarecurrent.com During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Grace Potter and her husband Eric Valentine set about mapping CONCERT out their future after what had been a roller coaster of experiences through the preceding years.

Potter had been through the breakup of her band, the Nocturnals, and divorced her husband, Nocturnals drummer Matt Burr.

She went on to make her 2019 solo album “Daylight,” with Valentine producing, after which the two became a couple, married and had a son.

Along the way, Potter and Valentine decided to settle into a new phase of life by moving from their home in the Topanga Canyon area of Los Angeles back to Potter’s native Vermont and building a home and a studio there.

“I think he (Valentine) was really wisely looking at our lives and looking at the trajectory of where we were going and what kind of a life we could have and what we could build together that would be a stabilizing force,” said Potter, who will perform

at 8 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

But Potter found she wasn’t ready emotionally for her homecoming. She had more processing and healing to do and decided the way to do that was to hit the road by herself. On her trips, she recalled stories she’d written in her youth, found connections from her past to her present and

eventually settled on a concept for her new album, “Mother Road.”

As Potter describes it in a press release, “Mother Road” developed into a series of character-driven story songs that in some way express facets of her personality, her past and her present.

“As ‘Mother Road’ unfolds, my central narrative begins to fragment into multiple paths,” she stated in the release. “Each path becomes a character, and each character weaves in and out of my present-day consciousness at important milestones along the way. The album is my take on what it means to be alive and how to live life to the fullest.”

Now, Potter is on tour with a band she said she feels can bring the lively, soultinged rock of “Mother Road” and her previous albums to vivid life on stage.

“What we’re actually doing is the most surprising, creative live music experience I’ve ever had,” Potter said. “I tapped into and utilized my instincts to bring a band together that felt like the perfect combination of that fearless youth, as well as the road-dog energy that I clearly have lived inside of and grown up inside of.”

ATI receives Legacy Gift — Actors Theatre of Indiana, Inc. has received a major Legacy Gift of $687,000 from Christel DeHaan that will help the professional theater company in the future.

Funds will be used to establish a new ATI endowment fund managed by the Central Indiana Community Foundation.

According to the organization, the late Christel DeHaan recognized the value in the arts and was a fan of the “Broadway in Your Backyard” presented by ATI. For many years, the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation supported ATI with generous operating grants. She informed board members of the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation that, upon her death, “It is my intent that Legacy Gifts be granted to organizations whose artistic talents merit support and with whom special relationships existed.” The Foundation closed in 2023 and corpus assets were divided up to designated organizations through Legacy Gifts. As a result of the substantial gift, ATI productions will be permanently changed to “Actors Theatre of Indiana with Artistic Support from Christel DeHaan presents.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Classic kitchen in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene The homeowners wanted to elevate their dark and dated kitchen’s aesthetic appeal, improve functionality and increase entertainment space.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • White perimeter cabinets brighten the space and provide classic appeal, while a modern gray wood tone accents the expanded island and bar area.

• The matte-white brick backsplash provides the perfect texture contrast to the sleek quartz countertops.

• A device-charging drawer, knife-block drawer, and warming drawer improve functionality.

• The custom cabinets extend to the ceiling, increasing its perceived height and providing additional storage and display space.

• Timeless finishes, like polished nickel cabinet hardware and a custom range hood, elevate the kitchen’s aesthetic.
