Things are about to look a little brighter around the City of Lawrence thanks to the upcoming street light repairs along 56th Street and IMPROVEMENTS Lee Road.

Aging and broken street lights owned by the city are being replaced with new LED bulbs.

The city has dedicated $100,000 for street light repair in its 2018 budget. According to Dept. of Public Works Director of Streets Dave Lott, replacement and repair was scheduled begin Jan. 24. The first phase includes the replacement of broken street lights on all cityowned poles.

Lotts said LED street lights are brighter than traditional street lights and are more cost efficient, reducing annual energy costs.

“LEDs can deliver better lighting with 50 to 60 percent less energy use,” he said. “Switching to LED will mean less frequent service and replacement of bulbs.

First, we will focus on 56th Street, and after completion, we will move to Lee Road. Our goal is to upgrade all city-owned decorative lights on the Fort to LED.”

LOCAL OFFICERS RECOGNIZED FOR SAVING DOG

DISPATCHES

Det. Stacy Hinshaw, middle, and officer John Hays, right, with dog Duke and his owner, Caitlyn Shelley.

At it’s Jan. 17 meeting, the Lawrence Common Council recognized and commended Hays and Hinshaw for one of their recent outstanding efforts in helping a local dog, Duke. On Jan. 7, Hays responded to the area of East 71st Street and Lee Road to investigate the report of an injured dog in the woods.

A bicyclist had observed the dog, which appeared to be injured and distressed, approximately 100 yards into the woods. Hays located the dog and carried it to his car to get warm. Hays then called Hinshaw, well known at the LPD as a pet advocate. She researched and located the dog’s owners, which was verified once the dog’s embedded microchip was scanned. Hays and Hinshaw’s efforts led to the reunion of Duke with his owners, who said he had been missing for two days.

Duke’s owners attended the council meeting with Duke to recognize and thank the officers for their efforts. Duke is recovering from a leg injury that occurred while he was missing. (Submitted photo)

Jury duty scam – Once again, a scam involving the threat of arrest for missing jury duty is hitting Hamilton County. A victim answers the telephone and the caller says a warrant is being issued for not appearing for jury duty (or paying taxes or another offense.) The victim is then told to pay money to avoid arrest. These calls are fake; arrest warrants in Hamilton County are never served by telephone.

Coat distribution – Coats are still available through the Hamilton County Kids Coats program. Upcoming dates include: Feb. 3 from 9 to 11:30 a.m.; Feb. 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. and Feb. 13 from 5 to 7 p.m. These are walk-in hours at Merciful H.E.L.P., 1045 W. 146th St., Carmel. For more, call 317-324-8818.

Suicide prevention training – Chaucie’s Place, 4607 E. 106th St., Carmel, will host QPR training from 5:30 to 7:30 Feb. 20. QPR stands for Question.

Persuade.Refer. The method was developed to detect and respond to anyone exhibiting suicide warning signs. QPR is an evidence-based prevention program backed by 30 years of research. Cost to attend either of the stand-alone sessions is $15. Register online at EventBrite.com.

City Government Academy registration open – City Government Academy, a 10-week program, begins Feb. 13 and allows residents to connect with city leaders, earn a greater understanding of day-to-day operations and get a behind-the-scenes look at Fishers’ facilities and departments. Participation is free, but registration is required. Registration is available on a first come, first served basis, and is due by Feb. 8.

Century award nominations – The state of Indiana is accepting nominations for the Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Awards. Applications are due by Feb. 16. Visit iedc.in.gov for more.

Dinner to honor late Mt. Comfort student

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

Mt. Vernon Community School Corp. will host an event to honor former student Matthew Clegg.

FUNDRAISER Clegg, 7, a secondgrader at Mt. Comfort Elementary, died suddenly May 22, 2016.

From 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10, the Fortville and McCordsville communities will gather for a fundraising dinner at McCordsville United Methodist Church, 6247 W. Broadway St. All proceeds from the dinner will help fund a new playground built as a tribute to Clegg.

Clegg’s family and the church hope to raise $20,000 to cover the cost of equipment and installation. A dedication will be held at the playground this summer, on June 7, , which would have been Clegg’s 10th birthday.

All are welcome at the dinner, which will consist of beef and noodles, side dishes, a salad bar and desserts. There is no set cost as the meal is a free-will offering.

Matthew Clegg (Submitted photo)

For those wanting to donate to the cause but are unable to attend the dinner, checks can be mailed to the church (6247 W. Broadwaym P.O. Box 188, McCordsville, IN 46055) with “Playground Fund” in the memo line.

Donations also can be made through the church’s online giving page, again with a note added for “Playground Fund.” A sign at the playground will recognize donations of $100 or more. For more, visit mccordsvilleumc.org/matthews-playground.

Lawrence poet, art therapist leads local poetry reading group

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com For the past five years, local poet Liza Hyatt has been at the helm of Poets Laureate of Lawrence, a poetry-reading group housed at Arts for Lawrence at COVER STORY Fort Benjamin Harrison.

Toward the end of each month, the group welcomes approximately a dozen to 20 poets.

“There are a lot of poets in Indiana,” Hyatt said. “Many months, we have a featured poet, who is oftentimes published and is a real Indiana poet.”

Next month, Poets Laureate of Lawrence will welcome the current Poet Laureate of Indiana, Adrian Matejka.

“The featured poet will share from his or her own work for about 40 minutes, then we have a little break, then we’ll have an open reading,” Hyatt said. “So, everyone that’s there that wants to share can.”

The group formed approximately five years ago, when the Partnerships for Lawrence community arts organization – now called Arts for Lawrence – was located on Franklin Road. Arts for Lawrence is now housed at the historic Theater at the Fort and serves as the home base and monthly meeting place for Poets Laureate of Lawrence.

“I have been a poet for years, but when I was raising my daughter, I kind of disappeared from being able to attend some other local poetry readings,” Hyatt said. “(When I wanted to get involved again) I thought, ‘There’s nothing going on in Lawrence,’ someone should start a poetry reading in Lawrence. So, from there I thought, ‘Well, what can I do to help Arts for Lawrence?’ So, that’s when I started a poetry reading for them. I asked (Arts for Lawrence Executive Director) Judy (Byron) if she’d be open to that, and it’s been going ever since at least 2012.”

Hyatt said some aspects of the group vary from other local poetry readings.

“We usually have about 12 to 20 people come,” she said.

“We have some regulars, so it’s a community. But one thing we do differently is we don’t have a microphone or stand at a podium. It’s really important to me that it’s intimate and that the poets who are sharing get feedback and there’s a sense of community and dialogue. We welcome it all.”

Hyatt said the group is open to anyone high-school age and older who has an interest in writing poetry.

GET TO KNOW LIZA HYATT J. L. Kato, right, reads his poem, “Arc of the Flea.” . (Photos by Sadie Hunter)

“I have reached out to some of the English teachers at Lawrence North (High School), and sometimes they’ll encourage their students to come for extra credit,” Hyatt said. “I am kind of hoping to have an intergenerational, multi-age thing.”

Hyatt began writing at a young age.

“My mother read me poems when I was a little tyke,” Hyatt said. “She was an English teacher, and I always wanted to be a writer. So, it’s in the blood. I know when I started writing poetry as a 23-year-old, I went to a lot of events through the Indianapolis writer’s center. One of the biggest teachers for me was an 80-year-old woman named Anita Spears-Smith. She was my mentor and very loving.”

Hyatt is now in the role of mentoring those who attend the monthly meetings, which she does by exposing the group to accomplished Indiana poets.

“The monthly featured poets are chosen by me,” she said. “Sometimes I’ll get emails from folks who have a new book out and are looking to read, and other times I kind of look around.”

The group has a tradition of welcoming all of Indiana’s poet laureates since its founding.

Poets Laureate of Lawrence meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 7 to 9 p.m. To learn more or get involved, visit the Arts for Lawrence Facebook page or search “Poets Laureate of Lawrence.”

Liza Hyatt is an art therapist at the IU Health Charis Center for Eating Disorders. She also is an adjunct faculty member for two graduate programs – one for IUPUI’s Herron School of Arts’ master’s program for art therapy, and one for the St. Mary-ofthe-Woods art therapy master’s program. “(My day job) integrates all kinds of art,” Hyatt said. “I combine Liza Hyatt reads “Two Calls writing and visual art from My Daugher, Ten Minutes and movement. I work Apart.” in their partial hospitalization program, and I see individual patients. The expressive arts therapies are really powerful for people with eating disorders because the perfectionism that goes behind the eating disorder behavior kills people’s creativity.

“So, the antidote to perfectionism is to experiment, play, make messes, explore and not know where you’re going to go before you go there.”

Hyatt is a published poet with three books of poems and a chapbook. Her work can be purchased online at amazon.com by searching “Liza Hyatt.” She also is one of the creative renewal arts fellowship recipients from the Indianapolis Arts Council.

Shifting rules

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker In 1735, U.S. founding-era publisher Benjamin Franklin is quoted as having said in “Poor Richard’s Almanac,”: “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” By 1920, another American, Pulitzer-prize winner Carl Sandburg, took the adage to task, asserting, “Early to bed and early to rise and you never meet any prominent people.” One could assume his assertion is rooted in some evolved knowledge that only a fool would get up and work hard to find success.

There is always someone eager to give us cover for our choices. No matter the habit, vice or proclivity, there is an internet troll eager to reinforce the alternative position. Even as we destroy the existing foundations of our civil order, how does a reasonable person sift through the rubble?

Sure, we’re cool. Right? Stay up late. Sleep in. Miss school, if you’d like. Who cares?

Rules are meant to be broken. While we might argue that the world has moved in a direction where pajama pants are acceptable office attire, does this trend mean that people won’t work for a company with a dress code? Perhaps. But likewise, might said company attract those who are comfortable in trousers sporting something other than an elastic waistband? Maybe we should ask why we have offices at all. Can’t we just work from bed? Slippers are comfy.

Ours is an age of shifting standards. We challenge each basic rule as a pointless tradition. In an attempt to achieve laudable pluralism, we accept all ideologies as equivalent. But, is every approach to living deserving of equal standing, or do some achieve empirically better outcomes?

READER’S VIEW Let’s build a truly regional transit system Editor, As we revel in the news that Indy is one of 20 finalists for Amazon’s HQ2, let’s take a moment to consider one thought: Had the request for bids come out a few years ago, we probably wouldn’t have made the cut.

One of the requirements Amazon stipulated is direct access to mass transit, such as rail, subway or bus lines. The system we’ve had for decades – and still have today – wouldn’t qualify, but, fortunately, progress is under way thanks to Marion County voters, who approved a tax increase in 2016 that’s allowing the Marion County Transit Plan to be implemented. Nearly 50 miles of bus rapid transit on three lines and 70 percent more local bus service will dramatically improve Marion County’s public transit system. Route improvements, including greater frequencies, start next month.

Making Amazon’s Top 20 shows that

this progress is already having an impact, but we cannot let up. We still have a long way to go to have a truly regional transit system. As it stands now, only Marion County has embraced the transit plan. To continue to compete for projects like Amazon’s, we need a regional system – we need to make sure that discussions about expanding transit in surrounding counties bear fruit.

The good news is that the bid for Amazon has caused many people in this area to recognize how critical mass transit is to our region’s economic future. Now that we’ve got people’s attention, let’s show them how committed we are to competing for the biggest economic opportunities by building out the vision of a truly regional, 21st-century transit system.

I recently celebrated another birthday, the big four-six. No party or hoopla, but I did have several moments HUMOR where I certainly felt the love.

My actual birthday fell on Friday, which meant the usual early morning carpool, work and then a Meijer run.

But when I finally got home, my family had taken to heart my one present request, to have the house clean. True, as soon as I left, the main floor disaster reigned, but the kitchen was dish-free and the living room smelled of lemon instead of dog poop, so I took it. They do love me!

Saturday I carved out two hours between color guard drop-off and dance pickup to spend some birthday cash at DSW before heading out to dinner with Doo and my siblings-in-law. And even though the restaurant ended up being a seafood place (which made ordering challenging since I vowed long ago never to eat ocean fish while in a land-locked state) and one SIL confirmed on the way home that she has a severe allergy to shellfish (a side street off Keystone, a stretch of U.S. 31, and our toilet will never be the same), it was a fun evening. Plus, I scored a free dessert!

My weekend culminated in a college basketball game in Kentucky. I’ll admit to shedding a few tears as I drove down through dreary fog alone (my youngest became ill and had to bail), but I scrounged up a lastminute date and enjoyed both the hot dogs and the win.

Not the typical celebratory weekend, but if this birthday is any indication of the year ahead, 46 will be a good one. Peace out.

Toying with a Fortville museum Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Phyllis Baskerville passed away peacefully this past week. In my 35 years on Channel 8, she may have HUMOR been my favorite guest. She was not someone to be toyed with—or she was the perfect person to toy with. You decide.

I met Phyllis in 2002 after doing a live TV segment in Fortville. As I headed for my car, the spunky 75-year-old woman in her pickup truck approached me and asked me to follow her home.

Minutes later we arrived at a Pentecostal church. Entering the sanctuary was heavenly. Taking up every bit of available space were thousands of classic toys, all in mint condition, and many in the original boxes.

Memories flooded back as I saw board games, wind-up toys, lunchboxes and dolls I had not seen in 50 years.

When Phyllis’s husband developed Alzheimer’s, Phyllis was overwhelmed, as many caregivers are.

“I went to a support group meeting, but that wasn’t for me,” Phyllis said. “I didn’t need someone else’s problems. I needed something else.”

That something else began with a few dolls she had, which mushroomed into so many toys that they filled several rooms.

When her husband’s condition worsened, they moved from Florida to Indy to be close to her daughters.

That’s when she decided to open a museum.

Phyllis purchased the then-vacant Fortville church and continued to hunt for toys, assisted by her daughters who religiously took Phyllis to garage sales, antique shows and consignment shops.

Her museum’s normal tour lasted 90 minutes, with Phyllis pointing out her favorites.

“See that O.J. Simpson board game? See that Gund doll?” she said. “You’ll never see anything like that again.”

She often interrupted herself to demonstrate a punching nun or to set in motion Robby the Robot.

The museum is closed, and the future of Dolly Mama’s is still to be determined.

DISPATCHES Avoid these costly home remodels — When making improvements to your home, there are some changes that experts recommend you avoid. Such changes can lower your home’s value. One of the biggest mistakes is eliminating a bedroom by expanding another room, such as a master bedroom, into the existing bedroom. Another big mistake is to convert a garage into living space. A house without a garage is more difficult to sell.

Emily Bohn is a huge fan of Jane Austen literature. So much so that portraying a character from an Austen novel has been a lifelong ambition.

THEATER Finally, she’s getting the chance to fulfill it.

Bohn, an Indianapolis resident who grew up in Carmel, portrays Elinor Dashwood in Civic Theatre’s production of “Sense and Sensibility,” based on the classic novel.

Published in 1811, “Sense and Sensibility” tells the story of the teenage Dashwood sisters, who become broke and “socially vulnerable” following the death of their father in 18th century England. The play runs Feb. 2 through Feb. 17 at Civic Theatre, 3 Center Green, Suite 300.

Bohn, who began acting at a young age in summer theater camps, has longed for the opportunity to perform in an Austen production.

“I’m drawn to the story for the fact that it’s Jane Austen,” said Bohn, a 2012 Park Tudor High School graduate who has a bachelor’s degree in theater from Butler University.

She also has a diploma in classical act-

ing from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts and teaches acting at the Indiana Repertory Theatre.

Civic’s production is directed by John Michael Goodson. Deena Fogle is the stage manager. The other lead cast members are Morgan Morton (Marianne Dashwood); Elisabeth Griffin Speckman (Margaret/Anne); Carrie Neal (Mrs. Dashwood); Justin Klein (John Dashwood); Joshua Ramsey (Edward/ Robert); Abby Gilster (Fanny/Lucy); Bradford Reilly (Bandon); Matt Anderson (Sir John/ Doctor); Mami Lemons (Mrs. Jennings); and Emily Jackson (Lady Middleton/Mrs. Ferrars).

Blueprint for Improvement: Backyard fit for entertainment Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This home in Lebanon was built in the 1980s. The interior was perfect for the homeowners, but the exterior of the home had a small deck and a large yard that was being underutilized.

The overall goal was to create a larger space for the family to entertain, utilizing more of the homeowners’ backyard and making it easy for them to maintain.

1. The biggest transformation came from removing the deck and a large tree in the backyard, which created enough space to add a large, stamped-concrete patio that utilized more of the backyard.

2. Having the extra space on the large patio allowed the homeowners to add more outdoor furniture without compromising space.

3. Building a pavilion structure with a ceiling fan created a comfortable shaded area for entertaining.

4. The pavilion also created a space for the homeowners to add a portable fire pit.

5. Light fixtures were added to the structure so it could be enjoyed in the evening hours.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The original deck on the home was small and had limited shaded space for the homeowners to entertain. The deck needed regular maintenance and upkeep. The backyard was very large, and a majority of it was not being utilized to its full potential.
