By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The last several years for Joe Molina have felt a bit like a Hollywood script.

And he’d know, as the COMMUNITY 67-year-old spent most of his life in Los Angeles, where he founded a public relations agency that specialized in promoting high-end and exotic automobiles, including through blockbuster movies.

So, when it came time to retire, it felt a bit like a plot twist when he decided to ditch the L.A. traffic and threat of earthquakes and fire and move to Hamilton County, a place where he had almost no ties. His wife, Beth, is a native Hoosier and Lawrence Central High School graduate, and he had visited the area during trips to Indiana to visit her family.

Between a polo match in Boone County, and Carmel’s Palladium, Christkindlmarkt and neighborhoods decked out for the holidays, it was like nothing he’d ever seen before.

“They call it a set in L.A., but it’s real here,” Joe said.

The Molinas made their cross-country move in November 2021, filling their new house in Carmel’s Jackson’s Grant neighborhood with their modern art collection and surrounding it with unique cars.

It didn’t take long for the Hoosier state

to feel like home for Joe, but that may be because it already held a special place in his heart.

In an earlier act, it had played a key role in launching his Hollywood career in the first place.

Hoosier roots Nearly 50 years ago, Joe arrived at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis to study journalism while serving in the U.S. Army. At the same time, Beth attended high school nearby, but their paths wouldn’t cross until decades later in Los Angeles.

Joe began covering the rock ‘n roll beat for the Army, interviewing legends such as John Lennon, Elton John, David Bowie and Rod Stewart. In 1975, while traveling with the band KISS, he decided that he’d rather be involved directly with the artists and organizing their events rather than covering them. He decided his next career move would be to public relations.

“My career started here in Indiana,” Joe said.

At about the same time, he began making connections with exotic and luxury car collectors and dealers and realized he could make a living promoting them to the public.

So, in 1977 he founded JMPR Public Relations in Los Angeles.

Joe spent more than 40 years running JMPR, working with celebrities such as Jay

Leno and Rod Stewart and helping promote automotive-themed movies, such as “Days of Thunder” starring Tom Cruise. He loved living in L.A. and knew it was one of the few places in the world where he could successfully run his niche agency.

In 2013, Joe’s first wife, Carol, died of breast cancer. Beth, a Herron School of Art graduate who worked in L.A. producing graphics and logos for major awards shows and other events, ran in the same social circles as the Molinas and was devastated when she lost her good friend.

Eventually, Joe and Beth started dating and later found out that Carol had told her siblings that Beth might be a good match for Joe after she passed.

“It made us feel like we had her blessing,” Beth said.

Joe and Beth wed in 2016 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in downtown Indianapolis, another key turning point – that occurred in Indiana – in the script.

‘An undiscovered gem’ Joe thought he’d miss some aspects of living in L.A., but so far that hasn’t been the case. He’s made it through his first Indiana winter – one of his biggest concerns – and is preparing to experience a humid Hoosier summer.

Kristi Lee, best known as part of nationally syndicated The Bob & Tom Show, has known Beth since before she moved to California, and she got to know Joe while visiting her friend in L.A. She never expected the couple to move to Indiana but played a key role in planting the idea in their mind and taking them to visit unique sites in Central Indiana when they visited.

A lifelong Hoosier, Lee said she expects others to follow in the Molina’s footsteps.

“We’ve always been a flyover city, so people in L.A. and New York never gave us a chance,” said Lee, a Zionsville resident. “I think once they come here, it’s like, ‘Oh my, there’s a lot to do, it’s a good bang for the buck, it’s a great quality of life.’’

Joe said he and Beth expect to return to Los Angeles regularly to visit friends and their old stomping grounds, but it’s not home anymore. Central Indiana is where they plan to spend their final acts.

“Carmel is almost an undiscovered gem for people outside of Indiana, and they’re going to hear more about it,” Joe said.

“We’re here for the duration. This is not a stopover for us.”

Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad opens Hobbs Station

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Nickel Plate Express passengers will now enjoy a true boarding station experience when riding the train north through Hamilton County. Nickel Plate NICKEL PLATE Heritage Railroad, a nonprofit that operates the train, opened the renovated Hobbs Station June 11.

A $1.6 million renovation of historic Hobbs Station included new boarding platforms, landscaping, restrooms, historic signs, paved parking and a train-themed playground.

Nickel Plate Express operates out of Forest Park. The goal of the renovation is to make Forest Park Depot a destination spot to draw visitors. The Nickel Plate Express travels a 12.5-mile track between Noblesville and Atlanta and attracts visitors from across the Midwest.

The focal point is the historic Hobbs Station, which was built alongside the Nickel Plate railroad in Tipton County in 1948 and moved to Forest Park in 1967.

Noblesville Parks & Recreation Dept. Director Brandon Bennett said the covered boarding platforms will make the Nickel Plate Express easier to board during its popular holiday rides in the winter.

“In my opinion, one of the main attractions of this whole thing are the new boarding platforms with canopies,” Bennett said. “It’s more of the experience of boarding the train and provides access to the train. It’s much improved and

the platform can load directly onto all four (train) cars.”

Bennett hopes future construction phases will remove fencing to integrate the depot fully into Forest Park.

“The train is here and it’s here to stay,” Bennett said. “We want to look to the future, remember the past but focus on the future and what our opportunities are here with it now.

It’s been a long road to get here. We are most excited about reintegrating this part of the park back into Forest Park.”

The recently completed project checked an item off of Mayor Chris Jensen’s to-do list. “Renovating Forest Park Depot at Hobbs Station was one of my top priorities when I took office in January 2020,” Jensen stated in a press release. “Trains have had a significant history in Noblesville, and this project shows our commitment to keeping that heritage and giving it a new life.”

The investment goal is to capitalize on the Nickel Plate Express, operated by the nonprofit Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad Inc., which began running excursions on the 12.4 miles of track between Atlanta and Hobbs Station in 2019 “Hobbs Station will be a central landing point for visitors who may come for the train, but stay in Forest Park for the pool, golf course and historic carousel or visit our nearby downtown for our variety of stores and restaurants,” Jensen stated.

Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad took assumed operations of the Nickel Plate Express after the previous operator, Indiana Transportation Museum, was evicted from the site in 2018. The city was first notified of environmental complaints about ITM in 2017. Following state inspections, the city worked with the Indiana Dept. of Environmental Management to restore the site. Since the clean-up effort began, 95 percent of the coal ash and bad soil that was left on the site has been mitigated and removed. More than 10,000 tons of bad materials have been removed from the site, making it safe to reopen the ground as greenspace inside the park.

Plant trees, reap benefits Commentary by Cindy Muse Close your eyes and picture the canopy of trees as you drive on River Road or the sweeping sugar maENVIRONMENT ple growing in your neighbor’s yard. Trees provide peaceful beauty to our Carmel landscape, along with many other benefits.

Tree leaves absorb carbon dioxide and water and use the sun’s energy to convert these into food (sugar) for the tree. In turn, the air we need to breathe – oxygen – is produced as a byproduct and released by the tree. The tree also captures gasses that can be harmful, such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide.

Trees moderate the effects of sun, wind and rain, lower air temperatures, improve air quality, slow soil erosion, support wildlife and biodiversity, mitigate climate change and provide an aesthetically pleasing environment for family and friends to gather under cool shade for outdoor activities. Plus, trees can lower your energy bills and increase your home’s real estate value.

Because of its dedication to preserve and

grow its urban forest, the City of Carmel has been recognized as a Tree City USA for 28 years. In a 2018 study by Davey Resource Group, trees on Carmel’s public property provided $2.9 million in annual benefits in the areas of aesthetics, air quality improvement, carbon sequestration and avoidance, energy conservation and stormwater management reductions. For 2022, Carmel plans to plant another 600 to 800 large shade trees.

Residential subdivisions can only clear a certain percentage of woodlands for their infrastructures. Many commercial buildings are required to have buffer yards along the property borders, parking lot plantings and foundation plantings with environmentally friendly landscape designs.

So, plant trees and reap the benefits. Enjoy a summer dinner on your patio shaded by breath-giving trees.

Lawrence Police Dept. pondering return to reality TV

By Chris Bavender news@geistcurrent.com It’s been two years since the Lawrence Police Dept. was featured on the reality show “Live PD.” The department was one of 50 across the U.S. to participate and was featured for 98 episodes between 2018 and 2020.

“A supervising producer for ‘Live PD’ had formerly worked at Fox 59 here in Indy and still had friends in the newsroom there,” LPD Chief Gary Woodruff said. “When the producers of ‘Live PD’ were interested in coming to the Indy area, they connected the ‘Live PD’ producers with us.”

Participating in the show was an honor for the LPD, Woodruff said.

Woodruff “The show depicted the outstanding work being done by police officers in communities across the U.S., including right here at home in Lawrence offering an unfiltered view of the realities law enforcement agencies across the U.S. contend with every day and night,” he said. “’Live PD’ viewers got to ride along with our officers every Friday and Saturday night for three hours, with a front row seat to how officers respond to assisting citizens and incidents in every community.”

Now, the department has again been approached about participating in a new reality show with a similar format — “On Patrol: Live.”

“We’re excited for the return of a show of this format back to television. Clearly there is a strong viewer following for this kind of show, as ‘Live PD’ was exceedingly popular,” Woodruff said. “LPD is open to discussing our potential participation in the new show. We’re honored to be considered for participation in a documentary show focused on the telling of the story of policing in America.”

David Hoffman, chief of staff for Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier, was the LPD chief when the department took part in “Live PD.” He believes the fact the city has been approached again shows that producers and viewers were impressed by what they saw. “(They saw) that the men and women of the Lawrence Police Dept .are well-trained, fair, compassionate people with common sense doing a difficult job under a variety of tense circumstances and they are doing it right. Our image and reputation are ones of professionalism in policing,” Hoffman said. “LPD officers represent what is best in law enforcement and the people who invited us back clearly know that and want to highlight them for the nation to see.”

It’s also a great reflection on the city and the department, Hoffman said.

“Lawrence police officers pride themselves as being very much a part of the fabric of Lawrence,” he said. “They are not merely protectors or armed guards who separate themselves from our citizens. They have the mentality of guardians who work together with our citizenry. Our officers spend time in our schools, businesses, churches and

countless community events throughout the year. They are honest, good-hearted people, just like the vast majority of the people they serve. Many of our officers are parents with families. They are patient and empathetic. This was so apparent for the millions of viewers each night on the national stage of ‘Live PD.’ “It was such a shame the show was canceled in the summer of 2020 at the height of its popularity, at a time when Americans needed to see the actual reality of day-to-day policing the most.”

Woodruff believes shows such as “On Patrol: Live” are important.

“Shows such as ‘On Patrol’ offer viewers an authentic, unbiased, real-time perspective of the realities, challenges and responses of how law enforcement officers and agencies interact with the communities they serve, allowing the viewers to form ideas and opinions,” he said. “As overused as this term may be, it applies here: authenticity.”

One feature of the new show would be ride-alongs, something LPD encouraged citizens to do before the COVID-19 so they could gain a realistic perspective on how law enforcement officers perform their duties.

“Exposure creates perspective, and that perspective goes a long way towards mutual understanding,” Woodruff said.

“A show of this format can highlight the experiences of going on a ride-along from the non-law enforcement officer’s perspective. It’s also as close as someone can get to going on a ride-along with an officer without having to physically be present.”

If the department does participate in the new show, Woodruff said there would be parameters.

“Established laws, journalistic integrity standards and basic human decency certainly apply,” he said. “As a for instance, no one would want to find out a loved one had been involved in a potentially life-altering incident on national television. A ride-along with ‘On Patrol: Live’ camera

and production crews are no different than any other media ride-along we have conducted over the years.”

There is no timeline yet on when the show will go into production or how many departments will be featured.

“Typically, there were eight to 10 departments featured at any given time during ‘Live PD’s’ tenure,” Woodruff said.

Ultimately, the decision to participate will be based on input from the mayor’s office working in concert with Woodruff and the “rank and file” of the department, Hoffman said.

“Perhaps most importantly, we would solicit feedback from our community, the very citizens we serve, on whether this new format would be a good fit for us, a good platform to showcase our great department and city,” he said.

“It will not be a decision taken lightly. Regardless of the direction we choose to go, there will be constant reevaluation and analysis of the risks and rewards or participation” “On Patrol: Live” is set to premiere this summer and will be broadcast on Friday and Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to midnight on REELZ. Police departments and sheriff’s offices featured on the show will be announced in the coming weeks.

The last dance

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Nostalgia leads us to seek out occasions to reconnect with our past.

Once great and vibrant rock stars roll out a “final” tour, likely designed to pay for their most recent divorce. The 74-year-old bad boy singer is greeted with cheers from his balding and Rubenesque audience, mixed with a few hipsters hoping to score a T-shirt to wear ironically while working as a barista and finishing their degree in somethingwe’ve-never-heard-of studies. The crowd is appreciative but cannot focus on the performance, instead noting “how good he looks for his age” with every new song. The youngsters in the crowd find themselves singing along to tunes they recognize from recent auto commercials, thinking that they were simple jingles rather than once-groundbreaking hit songs.

It is all good fun, and it makes us feel like we are a part of some collective history. Locals of a certain age are quick to retell the story of the “last” show of the great Elvis Presley. Although it took place almost 45 years ago to the day, there is a bit of shared infamy in having attended in person. Still, if we are always looking back, are we missing something in the future?

Vampires and rock stars indulge in any number of troublesome acts to hang onto youth. But should they? If given the chance, would we exchange our past for someone else’s future? If we imagine that we could improve on the likely trajectory of the future, we might assume perhaps. If we knew that we’d lose our own accumulated joy and sorrow and be doomed to live the likely pedestrian life of another, perhaps not.

Are we defined more by our history or by our future? If the latter, how much time are we dedicating to thinking about where we are going?

Friends, it’s done. My life as a dance mom has finally ended, and I think it was only fitting that I said my goodbyes in Galveston, Texas.

Galveston, for those of you not familiar, is a barrier island down the road from Houston. It’s a beach town that feels like it’s seen better days, with a graffitied sea wall that abuts a fairly busy five-lane highway. Bottle caps and plastic detritus wash up along the shore with the expected seaweed, dead fish and broken shells. Summer ambient temperatures consistently run in the triple digits. Despite its rundown appearance, though, Galveston has a lot to offer. It has beautiful sunrises and bountiful waterfowl, some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet and an impressive array of delicious Mexican and barbecue eateries. Can y’all say, “smoked brisket taco?”

Turns out, the competitive dance world is actually a lot like Galveston — a bit gritty on the surface but absolutely worth a visit. In the last nine years, my daughter has experienced hip injuries and girl drama and body image issues and studio “politics,” set amid a backdrop of screaming mothers, skimpy costumes and exorbitant entry fees.

Despite all that, or maybe because of it, she has made friends for life, developed resilience and confidence, and created the type of memories that can only come from spending 20 bucks on a Galveston ghost tour with — surprise, surprise — no ghosts.

I, of course, have lived vicariously through her, which makes this final dance trip such a bittersweet moment.

My jazz-handing, piqué-turning baby is done, and so is my time as a dance mom.

Peace out.

READERS’ VIEWS

America at war with itself Editor, I don’t usually comment about things that I read, but (Terry Anker’s June 21 essay) “False Alarms” commentary struck a chord.

Your last sentence wondering if we will miss a genuine warning is one that I have asked myself and others repeatedly the last five to six years. Indeed, we have missed it. The alarm bells have been deafening, and sadly, those who may be in a position to respond to them instead have chosen to angrily shout at and demean those who don’t agree with their version of freedom and democracy. It’s all conspiracy, guns and

personal freedom except for women’s choices, LBGT and immigrants.

At 71 years old, never did I dream that I might live through the destruction of the country that my grandfather, father and uncle risked their lives to defend.

We have teetered on the abyss of darkness, and even such a heinous act as shooting a third-grader in the face cannot unite us.

We have gone over. America has gone to war with itself. The only question is, who will survive?

Actor fighting with words of truth Editor, Seeing and hearing Matthew McConaughey’s impassioned address to the press in the White House briefing room, I began thinking about Hollywood actors who fought as heroes in World War II: Paul Newman, Audie Murphy, Jimmy Stewart, Clark

Gable among them. They fought with weapons aboard planes, ships and submarines.

Audrey Hepburn and Josephine Baker served in the resistance in Europe. All these years later, we have an actor fighting with words of truth – against weapons.

Grilling neighbors on charcoal and gas Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

presents

The Fourth of July weekend cookout is just around the corner, and we are planning a barbeque with some friends HUMOR at our house. That was not the original plan, but turns out we were not invited to the cookout around the corner.

Here is a statistic reported by the people who make propane tanks: In total, 69.3 percent of men versus 67 percent of women prefer gas grills over charcoal grills.

What could possibly account for this vast taste variance of 2.3 percent between men and women? I have always accepted the statistical difference between the sexes when it comes to the love of shoes, the comic genius of “The Three Stooges” and professional wrestling. Those disparities were understandable, but the gender gap in the preference of gas versus charcoal grills is a mystery.

Scientists at one of the many genome labs should take the time to see if there is, indeed, an actual gene to explain this.

They have already found one each for selfishness, social skills and altruism, but not a single study has been dedicated to the charcoal/gas grills discrepancy. You laugh (I hope), but these are your tax dollars squandered by the government — your money up in smoke, especially if you prefer charcoal.

I did some research on my own block to see if the results meshed with typical American neighborhoods. I knocked on the first door.

“Hi, Mark, I’m taking a little survey. Do you prefer a charcoal or a gas grill?”

“Well, that’s kind of a touchy question in

this house. I prefer gas, but Judy likes coals.

I’d rather not go on the record with this. Our kids are still in school, and we belong to a very conservative church. Instead, it would be safer to tell you about our sex lives or how much debt we are in.”

I tried another house.

“Norman, I just dropped over to find out whether it makes any difference to you whether you fire up your grill with gas or charcoal.”

“It mattered a lot to the first Mrs. Collingwood. That’s why there’s a second Mrs. Collingwood. Things were fine for several years, but then my new wife read something in Prevention magazine and started asking me a lot of health and safety questions about my chosen cooking method. I hate being grilled about grilling, so I purchased a brand-new Weber that meets my wife’s new barbequing preference. It’s cheaper than getting a third Mrs. Collingwood.”

One final thing: According to most propane manufacturers, 36 percent of grillers don’t know they’re out of propane gas until they actually are.

Sorry, I don’t have a clever ending to this column, but it doesn’t really matter. Only 26 percent of my readers know that my last line is supposed to be funny. That’s because 74 percent don’t get that far.

Dads have role in reducing death Commentary by Dr. Cameual Wright Despite having the lowest infant mortality rate in more than a decade, Indiana’s current infant mortaliPREVENTION ty of 6.5 infant deaths per 1,000 live births is still 20 percent higher than the national average, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Health. Laws are currently moving through Indiana’s House and Senate to aid Gov. Eric Holcomb’s goal of becoming the best state in the Midwest for infant mortality rates by 2024; however, it will take more than the work of lawmakers, medical workers and mothers to achieve this goal.

Fathers are often overlooked but play a vital role in contributing to good infant health and outcomes.

By offering physical, social and economic support, dads can offer crucial reinforcement to expecting mothers. Stressful social circumstances, such as unemployment, food insecurity and housing concerns can lead to unhealthy practices, such as poor nutrition, non-adherence to medical advice and substance use, which can have significant negative impacts on the health of the moth-

er and the developing fetus. Fathers can help alleviate stress for mothers by creating a positive environment and encouraging healthy habits. This includes ensuring the mother is eating well, taking her vitamins and getting proper rest — all factors that play an important role in fostering a healthy pregnancy. One of the most important components in preventing infant death is consistent attendance at prenatal and postpartum doctor’s appointments. By reducing any barriers to those appointments, including securing transportation and providing child care, fathers can positively impact the pregnancy and life of the infant.

After the baby is born, fathers should be educated on the importance of safe sleep, as this is one of the leading causes of infant deaths. Sleep-related deaths take the lives of 3,500 babies every year, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

New bakery opens in Noblesville

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A family-owned bakery and café that recently opened is quickly becoming popular in the Noblesville community.

NEW BIZ Debbie’s Daughters, on the ground floor of 12 Stars Media, 1236 Conner St., Noblesville, has sold homemade bakery items since 2020. The bakery recently opened its June 1 storefront and is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

The bakery is named after Debbie Downs, who had 12 children — five daughters and seven sons. Jessica Walls, one of Downs’ daughters, began baking bread for people in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Everyone was calling us because they couldn’t find bread, and they said, ‘If you make us bread, we will pay you,’” Jessica said. “It started there but the dream was always to open a bakery and restaurant.”

Jessica’s husband, Rocky Walls, who owns 12 Stars Media, said he bought the building knowing he and Jessica would someday open a bakery. 12 Stars Media launched in 2018.

The Fishers couple began selling bakery

“The online ordering and farmers market was like, ‘Hey, Noblesville community, do you want this? Would you buy bread from us every week?’” Rocky said.

The answer was yes.

“It kind of shocked us,” Jessica said. “The first week we made some things and took them to the market, and by the end of the market, we had quadrupled what we took to the first market.”

Menu items include coffee, cold brew, lemonade, espresso drinks such as lattes and Americanos and a bakery counter that rotates with fresh bakery items. Rocky said in the next few weeks, he wants to sell breakfast and lunch sandwiches as well.

The bakery is in a 142-year-old building with wood tones and a fireplace.

“It’s really important to us that people feel as cozy and welcome here as possible,” Rocky said. “It’s deliberate this is on the first floor of what used to be — a long, long time ago — a home. We try to keep as much of that feeling as possible.”

Indy Opera’s event features lobster bake

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Lobsta Bakes of Maine started 25 years ago with a love story when a Maine lobster fisherman met FUNDRAISER and married a vacationer from Cincinnati.

That lobster fisherman, Kevin Smith, stayed in Cincinnati to start Lobsta Bakes.

“We have been bringing in live lobster from Maine and steaming them on your doorstep ever since the wedding,” said Jim Radcliffe, catering sales manager for Lobsta Bakes.

Lobsta Bakes will help bring an authentic New England lobster fest to Indianapolis Opera’s 12th annual fundraiser, Lobster Palooza. The event will return from 5 to 9 p.m. July 17 to Daniel’s Family Vineyard and Winery in McCordsville.

“We bring it all and use our custom-built steam cookers on-site to prepare the freshest lobster, delivered to us the day after catch, and served up with corn, potatoes, coleslaw, mussels, breads and drawn butter,” Radcliffe said. “We have seafood appetizers that go well with the Lobsta Bakes that include crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, clam chowder and oysters on the half shell.”

Radcliffe said staff will stay on-site this year and serve. In the past, a caterer handled the serving.

“We will give lobster-picking demonstrations and go tableside to assist anyone that may want additional help,” he said.

However, Radcliffe said the Lobster Palooza crowd typically doesn’t need much instruction.

“We do about 50 to 70 Lobsta Bakes in a normal summer and typically travel within a 150-mile radius from the shop,” Radcliffe said.

Smith sold the company to Phil and Emma Jones earlier this year.

“Kevin is up in Maine with his wife Ann making sure we always have lobsters,” Radcliffe said. “He is back up working lobster boats. He’ll be making guest appearances (for Lobsta Bakes).”

“We think supporting the arts is important,” Ellinger said. “We think it’s great for us to be involved in. This shows a different side of opera. A lot of people think of opera as a black-tie (event). This is a more casual event, and how often do we get fresh lobster in Indiana, right? It’s a fun event and a great atmosphere.”

Other event sponsors include Daniel’s Vineyard, Current Publishing, National Bank of Indianapolis and Merrill: J.K. Blackburn & Associates/Searles Akers Wealth Management Group.

This is the second year the event will be held at Daniel’s Vineyard. It was previously held outside of the Basile Opera Center in Indianapolis.

“We love connecting with the beautiful

location of Daniel’s and the Geist (Reservoir) area,” said Indy Opera General Director David Starkey, who lives in McCordsville. “This uniqueness of having a lobster bake is not your typical thing you have in Indiana. It’s top shelf all the way. It’s a party. It’s bringing new and unique things together. The opera is all about bringing new and different things together.”

A cocktail hour is set for 5 to 6 p.m., followed by the lobster dinner from 6 to 7 p.m. Besides Daniel’s wines, Taxman Brewery, Tito’s Vodka and Still Moon specialty drinks also will be available. From 7 to 9 p.m., the Drew Martini band will perform music for dancing.

Tickets are $200. The deadline for ticket orders is July 8. For more, visit indyopera. org.

Un5gettable set for Feinstein’s

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Un5gettable started as five friends from Kokomo having fun performing.

“We started 20 years ago in COMEDY our late teens and early 20s,” Carmel resident Joe Cameron said. “We were friends first. We decided to do a couple performances as a gag. We went our separate ways to live life.”

In 2014, they decided to perform some original comedy songs.

“We haven’t stopped writing, recording and performing since then,” Cameron said.

“It’s been fun and unexpected to do this with my friends.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana Live will present Un5gettable at 7:30 p.m. July 15 at Feinstein’s Cabaret at the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel.

Cameron said the group will perform six shows at Indy Fringe later this summer.

Two of the members live out of state, so they only do a few live performances a year.

“We do video and music content,” said Cameron, who moved to Carmel from Chicago in 2021.

From left, Zach Harris, Ryan Richards, Kyle Cothern, Joe Cameron and Brendan Hawkins form Un5gettable. (Photo courtesy of Joe Cameron)

Cameron said he and Zach Harris do most of the writing. There have been times when four members have written together.

Cameron said the five vocalists met through Civic Theatre or high school show choir.

Brendan Hawkins lives in Fishers and Ryan Richards is in the process of moving from Kokomo to Carmel. Kyle Cothern lives in Chicago and Harris is in Los Angeles.

“The show will be a 90-minute break from the real world where we are going to sing about ridiculous scenarios in an extremely serious manner,” Cameron said.

The group released an album, “I Am Okay,” in May. For more, visit un5gettable.com.

‘Bright Star’ set to shine

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Red Barn Summer Theatre Artistic Director Michael Taylor stopped in a theater while on vacation to see MUSICAL “Bright Star.”

“I fell in love with the story and the music,” Taylor said. “As soon as I saw it, I became an instant fan. It’s one I’ve wanted to do for a while. We were supposed to do it (in 2020) before the pandemic. It’s kind of been a blessing in disguise because of the voices we have this summer really fit it.”

Red Barn will present “Bright Star” July 7 to 17 at the Frankfort venue.

The musical, which debuted in San Diego in 2014, was written and composed by comedian-actor-musician Steve Martin and singer-songwriter Edie Brickell. The story follows a woman in two parts of her life as a young girl and then as a magazine editor in Asheville, N.C., 22 years later.

“Those playing the leading roles are very excited about this show and (are) as much excited about the show as I am,” Taylor said. “Their passion is showing in rehears-

als, and it will show on stage come performance (time).”

Taylor said the music is more of a country/folk sound. The musical opens in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina in 1945-46.

“It’s a bigger ensemble than we’ve done in the past,” Taylor said. “We get a nice big sound. We have some strong voices coming in to cover these leading roles. The music is just beautiful, and I really think people are going to enjoy it.”

Taylor said the challenges are organizing all the set pieces and a large cast.

Entrance to Assisi in Umbria region of Italy. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A visit to Assisi in Italy Commentary by Don Knebel This is the first of two visits to Assisi, a historic town in Italy’s Umbria region, about 100 miles north of Rome.

TRAVEL Beginning in about 1,000 B.C., the area around Assisi was settled by Umbrians, who built fortified settlements in the mountains. In 295 B.C., Romans took control of the area and built the city of Asisium on terraces at the foot of Mount Subasio about 1,300 feet above sea level. The sophisticated walled city included a forum, an amphitheater and a large temple honoring Minerva (or perhaps Hercules).

Sextus Propertius, a Latin poet, was born in Asisium in about 45 B.C. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, Asisium became an independent commune. During the Middle Ages, Rocca Maggiore, an imposing imperial fortress, was built above the city.

In the 16th century, with the city under papal control, the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerv incorporated the colonnaded facade of the Temple of Minerva. Assisi became part of the Italian Kingdom in 1860. In 1997, Assisi was hit by two earthquakes, damag-

ing or destroying many of its buildings.

Today, Assisi, with a population of about 28,000, has largely recovered from the earthquakes and is among the most pleasant and interesting towns in Italy, with winding streets, moderate temperatures and magnificent mountain views. Remains of Roman roads and gates are visible and an archaeological museum beneath Piazza del Comune, the town square, displays items from the ancient Roman Forum.

However, what makes Assisi a destination for thousands each year is not its Roman heritage, but because St. Francis, who founded the Franciscans, was born there in about A.D. 1181. The churches in Assisi associated with Francis, collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, include the seventh-largest church in the world. Next week, we will visit those churches and learn more about St. Francis.

Have you ever met a married couple who start to resemble each other over a period of time? Or how about someone who looks like their GRAMMAR GUY pet?

While these pairings are visually fitting, have you ever met a person whose name suits them perfectly? An aptronym (or aptonym or euonym) is a name that fits the description or appearance of the person to which it belongs. This can be with a fictional character or a real-life person.

For instance, let’s suppose I opened a ham-focused restaurant that shows off a special carving technique I perfected using a knife pre-soaked in a vat of hot honey. In this case, my name “Curtis Honeycutt” would be an aptronym.

Here are a few real examples of people with aptronyms.

The first person I think of whose name fits them perfectly is Usain Bolt. Perhaps the greatest sprinter of all time, Jamaican-born Bolt still holds the record for the fastest 100-meter dash, with a time of

9.58 seconds back in 2009.

Do you play poker? One of the most successful players in the World Series of Poker series is Chris Moneymaker. He won the tournament in 2003, pocketing a prize of $2.5 million. A moneymaker, indeed.

To round out some more real-life aptronym examples, consider meteorologist Amy Freeze, father and son pro baseball multitime all-stars Cecil and Prince Fielder, poet William Wordsworth, neurologist Russell Brain and master sommelier Emily Wines.

The opposite of an aptronym is an inaptronym, a name that defies its owner’s character or career choice. My favorite inaptronym belongs to ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard. Although the band is known for their long beards, Beard is the only member of ZZ Top who doesn’t have a beard.

What’s in a name? Sometimes, it’s everything.
