Fishers fiber arts studio celebrates love of creating

By Cassie King news@currentinfishers.com Color Me Happy Fiber Arts Studio owners Michelle Salyers and Linda Williams share a love of creating, BUSINESS which their collaboration celebrates. They opened their business at 8100 1/2 Connerwood Ln. in Fishers in April 2022, but their journey started much earlier.

“My fiber story began about age 8,” said Salyers. “My aunt was expecting my first cousin, and I wanted to make a blanket for the new baby.”

Salyers was a crafty kid who dabbled in multiple mediums, including crochet, embroidery, latch hook and cross-stitch.

“Knitting has been my mainstay, and I knit everywhere — at faculty meetings, on Zoom calls, while playing Scrabble and even while hiking,” she said.

Her story took a turn in 2019 when she and her husband took a sabbatical in rural Brittany, France.

“Generations back, my ancestors were weavers and I wanted to learn more,” said Salyers, who spent her time with her French family learning about weaving, genealogy, knitting and fiber.

Williams grew up on a farm in northern Indiana, where she said she learned the satisfaction and joy of working with her hands — growing things in the garden, canning, sewing and working with animals.

“I came by my interest in textiles naturally,” Williams said. “One of my grandmas did amazing crochet and tatting, and the other made draperies.”

Williams learned to crochet with her grandmother and said it was natural to pick up other textile arts as she got older.

“I enjoyed the precision and color-blending in counted cross stitch in my 20s, and played with some original designs, but I didn’t discover knitting until my early 30s when I started working in a health research unit that had several knitters,” Williams said.

Salyers and Williams met at work, where they spent time knitting, became friends and joked that someday they would open a

yarn shop.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Salyers took a class in yarn dyeing with chemical dyes and said she loved the creative process. She invited Williams to try it and they decided to try natural dyes with plants growing in William’s garden, such as marigolds and goldenrods.

“As people who work in research, we love experimenting and keeping track of results to learn what works and what to change — that is essential to natural dyeing,” Salyers said.

The pair has participated in several workshops and are part of an ongoing natural dye learning community. They continue to do extensive reading, research and experimentation as part of the natural dye process, and realized that nobody was doing that with commercial sales in mind.

They were making more yarn than they could use, which led to the shop opening.

The pair said they’ve felt welcomed into the fiber community.

“We have met several fiber artists in the area at local markets and have started collaborations,” Salyers said, and partnered with local farmers to source high-quality wool, two Indiana fiber mills to support local yarn production and the use of regional, U.S.-based merino wool whenever

they can.

They also partner with local yarn shops in central Indiana to arrange pop-up shops and events, and participate in regional fiber festivals. They’ve more than tripled sales since their initial opening.

The shop opens to the public for “crafternoons,” when people can drop in and knit, crochet or chat. They also offer classes for learning new knitting and crocheting techniques.

“For those that want to try natural dyeing, perhaps with friends, we offer a ‘Hand painting with Natural Dyes’ class,’” Salyers said. “And of course, you can shop for naturally dyed yarn in many different fiber types and weights, naturally dyed fiber for spinning, knitting kits, natural dye kits and other fiber-related gifts.”

The pair also does custom dyeing for individuals and other fiber art businesses.

The shop is adding a patio by the dye garden for makers to enjoy working on projects outdoors. They also have a social media presence on Instagram and Facebook, and are developing a YouTube Channel.

To learn more about the shop, including open studio and “crafternoon” times, classes and local events, visit the events page at colormehappyfiberarts.com.

With the 2024 legislative session approaching, State Sen. J.D. Ford (D-Indianapolis) and State Rep. Victoria Garcia STATE Wilburn (D-Fishers) gathered feedback from constituents Dec. 18 during a town hall meeting at the Monon Community Center in Carmel.

The Democratic legislators representing portions of Hamilton, Marion and Boone counties spoke about several issues, inWilburn cluding the Indiana Lifeline Law. The law grants immunity to minors for some alcohol-related offenses when seeking help for related emergencies.

Wilburn, a proponent for mental and behavioral Ford health, said some legislators want to add immunity for some drug-related offenses for minors suspected of druguse overdose. Reece Axel-Adams, a Pendleton resident, asked Wilburn her thoughts on extending the potential immunity in these cases to those older than 21.

Wilburn said the stigma related to drug use needs to be addressed in Indiana, particularly with lawmakers. Her hope is that present laws and harm reduction strategies will help educate lawmakers, law enforcement and the community.

Gun control was another topic discussed at the town hall, with some attendees voicing concerns about Indiana’s permitless carry law passed in 2022.

The law removed the requirement of a handgun permit to legally carry, conceal or transport a handgun within the state for some residents. According to Wilburn, measures have been taken to mitigate gun violence such as the recent ban of machine gun adapting switches.

Ford said many law enforcement officials opposed the law, and he said he shares many of their concerns, including an increased potential of guns being present during traffic stops.

Wilburn said that health care and harm reduction are priorities on her legislative agenda. The 2024 legislative session starts the second week of January.

Fishers Fire Department to send surplus equipment to Ukraine

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com Fishers Fire Department has purchased new equipment to meet updated national standards. Following a vote DONATION Dec. 12 by the Fishers Board of Public Works, some of its older, but still useful, equipment will be given to the Fishers Police Department and the rest will be donated to firefighters in Ukraine.

FFD Capt. Scott Zelhart told the board that a dozen self-contained breathing apparatus air packs will go to local police, primarily for use in drug cases.

“So, they can make entry into drug labs and — God forbid, they come across fentanyl — they would be safe,” he said, noting that it would cost about $190,000 for the city to purchase similar equipment new for police use.

The remainder of the surplus equipment will be donated to Ambulances for Ukraine, a U.S. organization that provides equipment for Ukrainian first responders.

“It’s managed through the Ukrainian Society of Indianapolis in conjunction with the society in Chicago,” Zelhart said. “Once we say go, they will take care of all the logistics.”

In a later telephone interview, firefighter/ medic William Ortiz, who helps maintain SCBA equipment, said that equipment allows firefighters to breathe clean air in smoky or otherwise dangerous environments.

“Our department was able to purchase new equipment and we didn’t really have any use for our old system anymore,” he said. “Other countries, they’re able to use equipment that differs from what we use here. And so that’s one of the reasons that

we were able to partner with another organization to donate our current air packs to Ukraine for the firefighters there.”

Ortiz said the donations extend the useful life of equipment that otherwise would sit on a shelf or end up in a landfill.

“We’re able to give our equipment kind of a second life in a sense so that it can continue to help other people,” he said. “Our No. 1 goal is always going to be life safety, life preservation. And we found a way and a means for us to continue to do that through providing this equipment to Ukraine. We’re pretty happy to be able to be a part of that.”

The donated equipment includes air packs and refillable cylinders of breathable air. The equipment bound for Ukraine likely will reach firefighters there by February 2024.

DONATION SNAP participants get extra milk discount — In an effort to increase accessibility to healthier food and beverage options, Meijer is now offering Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants special discounts on select milk products. Thanks to a grant awarded by Auburn University’s Hunger Solutions Institute, SNAP shoppers can reach for a healthier option in the dairy section. The initiative “Add Milk” will feature 20 percent off any brand or size of 1 percent and fat-free milk.

Round Room gives more than $3.1M in 2023 — Verizon Authorized Retailer Round Room, based in Fishers, announced that it gave more than $3.1 million in 2023 to nonprofit organizations. Round Room and its subsidiaries TCC and Wireless Zone, make ongoing investments in their communities through initiatives supporting local organizations, employees and customers. The business credits its “culture of good” for its 70 percent employee retention rate and strong customer satisfaction.

Noblesville High School senior guard born to play basketball

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It might be a slight exaggeration, but Noblesville High School senior point guard Aaron Fine claims he has been playing basketball since he was born.

“With my dad coaching, my first word was ‘ball’ and my (first) phrase was ‘ball shoot,’” Fine Fine said.

Fine’s father, Matt Fine, is a Millers assistant coach for head coach Scott McClelland and was previously head coach of Muncie Central and Winchester high schools.

“I’m kind of like another coach on the floor, which is helpful to my teammates,” Aaron Fine said. “I can talk to Coach Mac or talk to my dad or one of the assistants and we can figure out things together.”

Fine averaged team highs of 17.1 points and 4.4 assists per game in the first seven games for the Millers (6-1). His shooting percentage was 49 percent, including 32 percent from 3-point range.

Favorite subject: Math Favorite athlete: Steph Curry Favorite musician: Biggie Smalls Favorite movies: “The Avengers” series The four-year varsity player averaged 13.8 points as a junior, 13.7 as a sophomore and 5.2 as a freshman.

“I’ve gotten a lot better at running our offense,” Fine said. “I’ve always been able to score, but I’ve done a lot better about getting people involved. Overall, I’ve just grown as a leader.”

Fine, one of three returning starters, said he has always been a vocal leader.

nament,” he said. “Our sectional is so tough that we can’t really look past it. There are probably four or five of the top 15 teams (in the state) in the sectional. We’re just trying to keep getting better.”

McClelland said Fine had the luxury of growing up around the game.

“One of his strongest attributes is he just loves being in the gym,” McClelland said. “He likes staying afterwards and shooting. Aaron will come in and shoot on his own on the weekends, after school and before school.”

McClelland said Fine thrives because of his passion for the game.

“We’ve asked a lot from him with his leadership, not just being a leader or point guard, but having another voice on the floor,” McClelland said. “He’s tried to take steps with his leadership each year. He’s off to a good start. The one thing that he has done a better job of this year is rebounding.

We’re going to need him to be an integral piece for our team to be successful.”

Fine said he wants to play in college at some level and major in business.

Fine’s younger brother, Adam, is a sophomore who splits time between the varsity and junior varsity teams.

Elected officials take oath

By Edward Redd edward@youarecurrent.com The City of Fishers conducted a swearing-in ceremony for elected officials Dec. 19 at the Fishers Fire and ELECTIONS Emergency Services headquarters at 2 Municipal Drive. City Judge Daniel Henke conducted the ceremony for 11 officials who will take office Jan. 1, including three newly elected council members.

Mayor Scott Fadness offered opening remarks.

“I’m honored to be with so many newly elected officials here tonight,” Fadness said. “I know there’s a lot of seniority here with some of our council members, a lot of collective wisdom they can share with our new council members, but there’s also new council members with new ideas and new passion. I think intermingling those will only result in a better outcome for the City of Fishers.”

Newly elected council members are John DeLucia (R-NC District), Tiffanie Ditlevson (R-at-large) and Bill Stuart (D-SW District).

DeLucia served on the Hamilton Southeastern School Board for about eight years and was a member of the Fishers 50 Club.

Ditlevson previously served on the Hamilton East Public Library Board of Trustees.

She is a founding member of Fishers One, a conservative grassroots organization.

Ditlevson said she plans to learn about traffic ordinances and improve road safety.

Stuart has served the Fishers Planning Commission and the Fishers Fire Merit Board since 2016. He said he plans to assess the needs of his district with other council members.

Incumbents who were reelected and took the oath of office for the coming term were Fadness, City Clerk Jennifer Kehl (R), and council members Cecelia Coble (R-at large), Brad DeReamer (R-NE District), Pete Peterson (R-SE District), Selina Stoller (RNW District), John Weingardt (R-SC District) and Todd Zimmerman (R-at large).

OBITUARIES Robert (Bob) Isaac Myers of Fishers, Indiana died at home on December 18, 2023 after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was born to Iona Bowman Myers and Glen F. Myers on February 8, 1942.

He received his undergraduate degree from Manchester College and his MS and PhD from Purdue University.

He is survived by the love of his life for 46 years, Joyce Ramsey Myers, son Justin Robert Myers (wife Emma), grandsons Jackson and Nicholas Myers of Carmel, sister Beverly Carney of Lebanon, brother Richard Myers of Logansport, and many much loved cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Preceding him in death were his parents, brothers Nicholas, James, John and sister Jean Ferriera.

Bob was a career educator beginning as a 6th grade teacher at Daniel Webster Elementary school in Logansport, IN. From there he moved on to serve in the capacity as an elementary school principal,

assistant middle school principal, curriculum director, business manager and superintendent. This career took him to many school districts including those in Bunker Hill, Sharpsville, Wabash, Huntington, Lafayette and Cheyenne, WY. Bob loved his family and three dogs above all else, but had an incredible passion for education, the Constitution, and the people he worked with. He knew no stranger, was known coast to coast for his humor, made every effort to show off his Pride and Joy, and was always the truest definition of humility with everyone he met. He enjoyed many road trips to Colorado and Wyoming, and spent long hours in the loving restoration of his family’s homestead in Cass County, Indiana.

The family will host a celebration of life next summer. Memorial donations may be made to the Hamilton County Humane Society SURVIVOR PROGRAM at 10501 Hague Rd., Fishers, 46038.

2024 to mark completion of big projects in Fishers

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com Some big projects were completed in Fishers in 2023 — Geist Waterfront Park, for example — but the past year was marked more by the start or continuation of projects that are set to be completed in 2024 and beyond.

“We knew that ’23 was going to be a year, not so much about introducing new ideas, but executing well on the ideas that we have already introduced,” Mayor Scott Fadness said. “So, when you think about City Hall now, if you drive by, you can see clearly that we’re getting closer — looking at a May timeframe for that to open in ’24 — and then the Event Center is up and out of the ground.”

The approximately $23 million City Hall at 1 Municipal Dr. will have not only city offices. It will have a theater and art gallery, and space for programs offered by the Indianapolis Art Center.

“That’s going to be incredible, to have people come in and literally have access daily to world-class art classes is really kind of extraordinary,” Fadness said. “I love the idea of being able to walk into work and see a bunch of people pursuing their passions on the first floor of City Hall.”

The $170 million Event Center broke ground in spring 2023 and has an expected completion date of fall 2024.

The 8,500-seat facility will be home to CHL hockey team Indy Fuel and the newly named Indoor Football League Team Fishers Freight, both owned by Hallett Sports and Entertainment. The facility, which also will be able to host concerts and other events, will be managed by ASM Global.

“I get the kind of insider’s look at planning for the opening of that and that’s going to be — it’s going to be incredible,” Fadness said. “Things are already in the works for the first year of that facility. I just can’t wait to share with the Fisher’s residents those experiences.”

Fadness said the city is working on designs for the planned new White River Park so work can start on that in the coming year, and he talked with pride about the city’s parks in general.

“I don’t know that we always stop and take stock of the assets that we actually have,” he said. “I think we have probably one of the best, if not the best, park systems anywhere in the State of Indiana, and would rival a lot of places in the Midwest.”

Fadness said there are some projects and programs that will be reassessed for 2024. With Geist Waterfront Park, for example, there initially was concern that it would be overrun with crowds, which led to a $50-per-vehicle parking fee for non-Fishers residents to help manage anticipated crowds.

“We’re now evaluating the numbers and identifying, ‘OK, was that the right mark? Should we be looking at

something different? What’s our approach to that?’” he said. “We’ll be working through that throughout the winter and hope to have a plan going into the spring to really activate Geist Waterfront Park to its greatest extent.”

Fadness said the city’s big focus in 2024 will be completing what is in process now, rather than starting a bunch of new projects.

“One of the things our team really prides ourselves on is doing hard things well, and we want to make sure the things we’ve already said we’re going to do, we finish and get them done and done appropriately,” he said. “That’s really our main focus right now. I think the team would probably throw me out a window if I came up with another four crazy ideas to go pursue right now. So, right now it’s like, ‘OK, let’s get these done and done well.’”

BUDGET The City of Fishers’ 2024 budget includes a lot of the usual stuff a city needs to take care of, along with some programs that Fadness said he’s excited to start.

The $164 million spending plan includes about $12 million in one-time costs to expand trail connectivity, improve neighborhoods and support education initiatives.

The budget includes $1 million for sidewalk repairs, which Fadness admits sounds mundane, but is actually very important to residents.

“When people walk out their front door, if there’s a trip hazard on their sidewalk, that means something to them,” Continued on Page 9

January 2, 2024

COVER STORY Continued from Page 8 he said. “This million-dollar investment will really allow us to make a quantum leap forward in tackling those challenges.”

The city has a neighborhood vibrancy grant program that will help HOAs and other neighborhood groups make improvements they’ve identified as priorities. The budget for 2024 increased the amount available for that program.

The city’s budget also includes $500,000 for teacher innovation grants. That is a brand-new program, and Fadness said his administration is still figuring out the logistics through conversations with the school district.

GOVERNMENT The Fishers City Council had somewhat of a shift following the Nov. 7 election. The council said goodbye to three members who lost their bids for reelection, and welcomes three new members in 2024.

John DeLucia (R-NC District), Tiffanie Ditlevson (R-atlarge) and Bill Stuart (D-SW District) will replace Crystal Neumann (D), Jocelyn Vare (D) and David Giffel (R), respectively. The election means a net loss of one seat for Democrats.

The new members were sworn in Dec. 19 and will attend their first meeting as elected officials on Jan. 16.

Incumbents who were reelected and took the oath of office for the coming term were Mayor Fadness (R), City

Current in Fishers currentinfishers.com

Clerk Jennifer Kehl (R), and council members Cecelia Coble (R-at large), Brad DeReamer (R-NE District), Pete Peterson (R-SE District), Selina Stoller (R-NW District), John Weingardt (R-SC District) and Todd Zimmerman (R-at large).

SCHOOLS Hamilton Southeast Schools will have a new superintendent in 2024 after Superintendent Yvonne Stokes resigned in September, in the middle of her contract.

In a separation agreement negotiated with the board, Stokes will be paid her full salary for the final year of her contract, including an annuity and unused sick leave and vacation time. She also will continue to receive health insurance benefits through the district through 2024, unless she begins another job in that time.

Stokes was hired as the HSE superintendent in 2021 and was the district’s first Black superintendent. When she began in 2021, her contract included up to $187,500 annually in base pay and stipends.

Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Matt Kegley was appointed interim superintendent while the school board started the search process for Stokes’ replacement.

During the board’s Dec. 13 meeting, President Dawn Lang gave an update on that process. She said it had received 10 applications and planned to interview five in January. She said they hope to make an offer to one of those five by the end of January.

Three Hamilton Southeast school board seats are up for election in 2024. They’re now held by Sarah Donsbach (Delaware Township), Sarah Parks-Reese (Wayne Township) and Suzanne Thomas (Fall Creek Township).

Donsbach and Parks-Reese have been dissenting voices on the board since the 2022 election, when a slate of four conservative challengers succeeded in their bids against the incumbents. Thomas has often taken a conservative stance for some of the more controversial topics, including changes to the district’s dress code.

In the Nov. 7 election, voters overwhelmingly approved a new school district operating referendum that takes effect in 2024. The new rate is a maximum of .1995 cents per $100 assessed value, which is lower than the referendum that was approved in 2016 that expired in 2023.

Through the 2016 referendum, property owners have paid .2275 cents per $100 assessed value.

The referendum will provide annual revenue to the school district of about $24 million and means that district staff didn’t have to redo the 2024 budget. That budget is about $300 million, although that is a “not-toexceed” figure that could change.

Estridge Studio E provides gallery of choices for homebuyers

By Tirzah Rowland news@currentincarmel.com Inspired by showrooms in London and along the East Coast, along with its own designs, the team at Estridge DESIGN Homes said the company offers an elevated and personalized design approach to clients at its new Studio E in Carmel.

The longtime Indianapolis-area homebuilder moved its corporate offices to 645 Carmel Dr. in early 2023 with plans to create a customizable space for its design center, called Studio E, as a contemporary reflection of its established brand.

“We wanted a creative on-trend space with the feel of an art gallery,” said Devon Bloxom, director of sales and marketing for Estridge Homes.

Bloxom said clients can move through Studio E room by room and see the quality and variety of choices.

The studio features crisp white walls and ceilings above polished concrete floors in rooms displaying tiles and cabinetry options. Curated fixtures are displayed on built-in shelving. Islands with seating are open to clients throughout the space.

“We started planning the space knowing we were moving our offices,” said Rob McGraw, Estridge Homes co-owner and chief operating officer. “We looked at other builder’s studios and other industries.”

Understanding that trends and styles evolve quickly in the age of social media and design shows, McGraw said he wanted a space that would be easy to change to keep up with client interest and would provide more product options.

“When they walk in, they are drawn in.

It is a very inviting space that inspires people to want to put together their own home,” McGraw said. “The intentional lighting, open-air flow and strategic design make it feel different than other studios.”

Artwork by local artists available for purchase is displayed in front of the studio.

“We wanted to support local artists,” McGraw said. “The artwork adds to the gallery feel.”

Unlike traditional builder-design centers, Studio E focuses on empowering design and style more than specific products and predetermined ideas, according to McGraw.

“We wanted to provide more creative flexibility, not create a focus around specific materials.” McGraw said. “The product is art more than locked-in suggestions.”

Estridge offers an á la carte experience with up to 20 or more options in each category and hundreds of choices and combinations overall for everything from light fixtures to exterior finishes, Bloxom said “This space was built with an elevated experience in mind,” Bloxom said. “Clients walk through the space and see visions of a custom home from the robust number of choices.”

Considered a semi-custom builder, the Estridge motto, “Different by design,” inspired the space that opened in November and frames the entire design and build process, Bloxom said.

“We change our product a lot. We put a lot of thought into architecture and neighborhoods,” Bloxom said. “We allow structural changes to our floorplans.”

Prices vary by neighborhood but are designed for a broad range of clients and budgets.

“The next year will be important for home buying. If you are looking to personalize your home, visit one of our neighborhoods,” Bloxom said. “They all have different homes and overall feel.”

Sales consultants at Estridge model homes connect clients with Studio E for preview appointments. There they meet with a designer to guide the process but are given creative freedom within their desired budget.

Speed ahead with shared parenting law Commentary by Shell Wiedenhaupt The great state of Indiana is known, among other things, for its world-famous car race. When people COMMENTARY think of Indiana, they think of an enormous flood of fans watching the greatest racing cars on Earth zooming around a huge oval.

But Indiana is falling behind in a different but important category: child custody laws. As a result, it’s failing those very fans watching the race.

Nationally, state after state is changing from the old-fashioned model where one parent is the primary custodian and the other is a “visitor.” When laws pit parents against one another in a winner-win-all/ loser-lose-all scenario, it makes parents fight and ultimately makes the kids lose.

And Indiana families are losing often because the state received a D-minus for shared parenting.

Other states are moving to a new arrangement that helps everyone win. It’s called shared parenting, which means parents have equal legal decision-making and kids spend equal time with both parents.

These laws presume that it’s in a child’s best interest to have meaningful substantial contact with both parents. Multiple factors in the laws allow a judge to deny shared parenting in certain circumstances.

Many studies show that most children raised in equal-time arrangements do much better in school and life in general.

Further, neighboring Kentucky passed the nation’s first equal shared-parenting presumption law. Since then, family court domestic violence cases and total caseloads declined, as have child abuse cases.

It’s time for Indiana to speed ahead and pass a shared parenting presumption law.

Shell Wiedenhaupt, National Parents Organization Indiana chair, can be reached atshellwiedenhaupt@ sharedparenting.org.

Return of the popular 10K race!

Staggered start times beginning at 7:30 a.m.

A little is enough Commentary by Terry Anker “Let’s hurry and get going so that we can hurry and get home.” It is a classic dad line. On its face, it makes ESSAY little sense. If we don’t want to be away from the house, why go? Even if we must go, there is scant evidence that leaving earlier will mean that we are away any less than if we leave later. Some of us put up the Christmas decorations earlier each year but by New Year’s Day would pitch a fit if hearing a carol. We come to the banquet table starving, eat more than our fill and leave with some uncomfortable regret about the second piece of pie.

We humans are infected with wanderlust. More is better. New is better. Our closets are filled with items that we are unlikely to ever wear and many more shoes than feet. We acquire, move, consume and explore like our lives depend upon it. For a few contented souls, rocking on the porch from dawn to dusk is quite

enough. But most of us are possessed with a notion that settling is dangerous.

Perhaps our ancestors came to know that survival is linked to finding a more reliable source of fresh water or seeking a mate outside of our own shallow gene pool.

Today, our journeys are more likely to help us flourish in impressing others on social media than in keeping us alive.

Is there a space between not going at all and going so often that relevance is lost? Can we love Christmas without being overwhelmed by it? Can we feast at the table without abusing our stomachs? There is a big space between immobility and unreliability. And moving around a bit is likely good for us. Still, shouldn’t we enjoy where we are while we are there?

Thanks for the memories, Part 2 Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Here is Part 2 of my yearly look back on the people, places and things HUMOR that gave me ideas for my column.

• Thanks to the website that offers cooking tips. For example, “Don’t cook your asparagus with the rubber band still on the stems.” Yes, if your spears are exceptionally chewy one night, you have discovered the culprit.

• Thanks to the quack doctor who said he invented a mobile app that would cure acne if you held the phone to your head. He was arrested for fraud. Asked if he would serve his sentence like a man, he said, “Breaking out is not an option.” He also said his wife was worried that even a short prison sentence would jeopardize their marriage. “She’s my main squeeze,” the dermatologist told everyone. Which is not something his PR agency wanted him to say.

• I also celebrated Indianapolis’ high ranking for cities with the most rats.

The Crossroads of America (Indy’s nickname) was rated 15th, indicating exactly what was crossing those crossroads. So, the rats were rated higher than the Cubs this year. Washington, D.C., was rated fourth on the list with half a million rats — 500,535 if you count Congress.

• Thanks to my wife, who wanted to try a new Chinese restaurant. She found one online and ordered the food.

I called back to find out how long it would take to get there. “Where do you live?” I was asked. I said the north side of Indianapolis. “Oh, about six hours.

Sir, you are calling a Chinese restaurant in Canton, Ohio.” “No problem,” I said. “I love Cantonese food.”

• Kudos to a new chess website. First, I wanted to assess the competition.

Each player has a bio online. Canty is an international grandmaster. The bio says he is very tricky and “might catch you with your pants down.” I suggest you not play him on Zoom. My favorite was Zara. Her bio says she is a good sport, loves animals, is a nonsmoker and wants to play with someone who likes romantic dinners. Hmmm, maybe she thinks she’s on ChessMatch.com.

• I was frustrated that I can never find the TV remote, so I tied a piece of dental floss around the device and connected it to the couch leg. Great results. I don’t miss nearly as many shows and I have 34 percent less plaque.

• In bad weather, I started jogging in Walmart and Costco, sometimes getting in as many as 6 miles on a rainy day. I only do Costco now. Walmart started charging me mileage.

Have a great 2024!

Documentary filmmaker creates first fictional production

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Filmmaker Rocky Walls’ forte is making documentaries.

“I never thought I’d write a MOVIE fictional film. Like, never,” Walls said.

The Fishers resident never expected his Noblesville-based 12 Stars Media company would make a feature film.

“I would say the concept of revealing secrets in a laundromat came to me first, then I started joking with my team about filming it as a reality series later,” said Walls, executive director of 12 Stars Media.

“I’ve always wanted to film something in a laundromat, so I think one day when my mind was wandering, I came up with the idea for what would become a key scene in this film — two characters revealing untold truths in a laundromat.”

Starring in “Dirty Laundry” are Mitchell Wray and Charlie Schultz, who are freshmen at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Wray, a University High School graduate who grew up in Carmel, plays Kyle Miller.

Schultz, a Westfield High School graduate, is cast as Eric Hernandez. Wray and Schultz didn’t know each other before college.

The film began production in December 2023 in Indianapolis.

“Before I met and worked with any of the actors, I expected the process and experience to be completely different from a documentary,” Walls said. “I was surprised to find out how much common ground there was. Mainly in the way that the actors, even though they are acting, have to become very authentic when portraying their characters. So, a lot of the skills and experience I have in making a documentary subject feel comfortable being themselves ended up being useful for helping the actors authentically become their characters.”

Walls said the film will be a feature-length movie, which must be more than 40 minutes, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The

script was 60 pages, so Walls estimates the film will run between 65 and 75 minutes.

Filming was done at night at an Indianapolis laundromat.

“As the night goes on, you kind of evolve into that character, and by the end of the night, you are that character,” Schultz said. “You go home and go to sleep, then you wake up the next morning and start the whole process again getting into that character.”

Schultz said it’s been great to work with Walls because of his documentary experience.

“He really cares about people,” Schultz said. “From a director’s standpoint, he wants to know how we’re feeling on all these different levels, and that’s really beautiful because he puts us in the right perspective to feel comfortable getting into these characters.”

Wray said the fact the film is set in the 1990s caught his attention.

“I love the aesthetics from then,” Wray said. “I’ve always been into vintage clothing and being able to bring our own style and interests to the film to help make these characters our own.”

Wray said he has always wanted to be a film director.

“So, just seeing behind the scenes and talking to the crew members, it’s so interesting to see what they’re trying to accomplish while we’re acting,” he said.

Wray said he looks forward to seeing the rough cut.

“I have an idea of what it’s going to look like in my head, but I’m sure it’s nothing like what the finished product will be, in a good way,” he said. “The film won’t premiere until next fall, so we have a whole year to envision what we think it’s going to be like.”

Wray has been acting since he was young. He performed with a national touring group in “Finding Neverland.”

The main characters’ family members appear in some flashback scenes, which focus especially on the relationship Kyle has with his mother, Christine, played by Erika Lewandowski, and the relationship between Eric and his father, Carlos, played

by Ian Cruz.

Walls said Deborah Asante, founder of Asante Art Institute of Indianapolis, lends her incredible screen presence as a Mysterious Stranger.

The class is designed for caregivers to take a musical walk through a winter wonderland with their child. Participants will stomp in imaginary snow, play with penguins, catch snowflakes and search for polar bears using rhyme, rhythm, melody and beat. The caregiver and child class is led by singer/guitarist “Ms. Michelle” Marti, who will provide an age-appropriate music curriculum as well as toys and percussion to immerse children in the music.

Child & Adult Music Class is presented in partnership with Westfield Veterinary Care.

Open to all ages, best for 18 months to 5 years, participation is limited to 10 children, with a minimum of five required to offer the class. The cost is $72 for all six class sessions. Siblings under 10 months can attend free of charge.

NIGHT & DAY

Reilly enjoyed run as ATI executive director

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jim Reilly had experience operating a nonprofit after running the Indianapolis City Market in Indianapolis.

THEATER After leaving that position, Reilly started his own consulting company, The Reilly Group. But when the Actors Theatre of Indiana approached him about being a consultant, he was unsure he could do the job.

“I don’t act, I don’t sing, Reilly I don’t dance, but I can run a business,” he said. “I said, ‘Let’s give it a three-month contract.’”

Reilly served as ATI’s executive director for 12 years before retiring in late December.

“It’s been a good run,” Reilly said. “I had fun. I told them if they ever need me, I’ll help them. The time has come for some younger blood. I’m ready not to have the fundraising worries. I’m sure they will bring in someone who has the experience and the knowledge. My skills weren’t in the artistic field, they were in the business world. You have the combination of someone who likes theater and understands business.”

Reilly said he and his wife, PJ, always loved the theater.

Reilly, 76, said he liked that the ATI office was near his Carmel home. PJ worked in the front office of Carmel High School for 28 years before retiring three years ago.

“She liked her job, and I liked working in the theater,” Reilly said. “It gave me some flexibility. I liked being around the actors all day, just being able to sit in the office.

When I was doing my work and they were rehearsing, it made the day interesting. I liked hearing all the old songs, especially if it was an old Broadway show where I knew all the songs.”

Reilly, who is from Chester, Pa., moved to Indiana to work for Simon Property Group.

He eventually worked at the Indianapolis City Market in Indianapolis.

Reilly has three children, who live in different states, with nine grandchildren.

“This will give us time to hop in the car and go,” Reilly said.

Exploring Eiteljorg’s exhibit Commentary by Don Knebel

In the last of our visits to interesting sites in and around Indianapolis, we stop by Jingle Rails, an annual holiday exhibit TRAVEL at the Eiteljorg Museum in downtown Indianapolis.

The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art opened in White River State Park in 1989. The museum was named for Harrison Eiteljorg, whose extensive holding of art and other items from and about the American West and the indigenous peoples of North America formed the foundation of the museum’s initial collection. Today, the museum’s collection is considered among the finest of its kind in the U.S. Every holiday season since 2010, the museum has featured “Jingle Rails: The Great Western Adventure.” At the heart of this special exhibit is nearly a quarter mile of miniature railroad tracks. Nine G-scale model trains follow the tracks over wooden trestles and through make-believe tunnels, passing by buildings and landmarks representative of Indianapolis and the American West. Almost everything is created from natural materials, including such things as tree bark, nuts,

seeds, leaves and cinnamon sticks. Structures from Indianapolis at the beginning of the exhibit include the Eiteljorg Museum, Union Station, Lucas Oil Stadium, Indiana State Fairgrounds and Monument Circle, complete with the Soldiers and Sailors Monument decked out as the “World’s Largest Christmas Tree.” On a nearby representation of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, slot cars race each other around the miniature oval.

Western scenes include the Grand Canyon, Yosemite Falls, the Golden Gate Bridge, Old Faithful, Mount Rushmore, Hoover Dam and the Las Vegas Strip. Lights and holiday trimmings are everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere enjoyable by adults and children alike. Each year, the presenters of Jingle Rails attempt to provide something new. The addition this year is a lighted inflatable train on the museum’s front lawn, colorfully calling attention to what is inside.
