Hamilton Co. Democrats rally for pro-choice

By Matthew Kent news@currentinfishers.com Elected officials and candidates running for office representing Hamilton County are encouraging Hoosiers POLITICS to voice their support for pro-choice rights when the Indiana Legislature convenes for a special session later this month.

More than 75 people turned out in solidarity July 2 during a rally organized by the Hamilton County Democratic Party inside Holy Family Episcopal Church in Fishers that featured candidates running for state and federal offices. The event was designed to create an atmosphere for individuals who are concerned about issues to be addressed during the special session scheduled for July 25, said Dayna Colbert, Hamilton County Democratic Party chair.

Concerns from those in attendance follow the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the constitutional right to an abortion, leaving it up to states to decide how to deal with the issue. The special session in Indiana is expected to “take action to protect life,” according to Republicans, although it remains unclear what restrictions or possible legislation could be discussed by lawmakers.

Colbert said it is important for people to rally at the Indiana Statehouse because that is where change occurs, adding that she feels individuals should have the right to make choices about their bodies regardless of whether they can or cannot carry children.

“We want to bring people together who also feel that way to have that choice and give them the tools to move forward and carry that message on,” Colbert said.

Colbert said the Hamilton County Democratic Party is concerned that the General Assembly has signaled support for banning abortion in Indiana, although to what extent remains unclear.

“We are concerned about our choices and our options in Indiana as well,” she said.

The rally brought together more than a half-dozen elected officials and candidates running for office, many of whom urged

those in attendance to stand up and make their voices heard. Individuals in attendance seated at tables were also encouraged to make signs in preparation for the July 25 session outside the Statehouse.

Among those critical of Republicans at the state level was State Rep. Sue Errington, who said that decisions involving abortion should remain between a woman and her doctor.

“The Republicans have been screaming for an abortion ban for years,” Errington said.

Errington also told those in attendance that she promised to defend reproductive rights in Indiana, urging individuals to press elected officials for answers.

“Don’t let them dice up your question,” Errington said. “Make them answer.”

Jeannine Lee Lake, who is running for the U.S. House to represent Indiana’s 5th Congressional District against Republican

incumbent Victoria Spartz in November, also appeared at the event wearing a shirt of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a slogan, “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.”

Fishers City Councilwoman Jocelyn Vare, who holds an at-large seat, is running for the Indiana Senate in District 31 and also said it’s important for people to get out and make their voices heard. Vare encouraged those in attendance to talk to their neighbors, saying Democrats are working hard for all Hoosiers.

“Hamilton County is a purple county and it’s time like we acted like it,” Vare said.

“Please go to the Statehouse. That’s how you make your voice heard.”

Fishers resident Angie Lopez attended with her friend Monica Moehring. Both women said they were making plans to rally at the Statehouse later this month.

Lopez created a sign that said, “My body isn’t a ‘peach-tree dish’ for your government overreach” and described the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade as being “just ridiculous.”

“I never thought we would be here,” Lopez said. “I was dumbfounded.”

Victoria Garcia Wilburn, who is running for House District 32, is an occupational therapist and said she was concerned about what the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade means for women in Indiana. In Indiana, 33 counties don’t have an OB-GYN available, Wilburn said.

Wilburn described the recent Supreme Court decision as being “a complete overstep,” saying that abortion is a decision that needs to be made between a client and their provider.

“This is not a political decision,” she said.

Still, Wilburn said the turnout at the church indicated that issues such as abortion matter to voters and noted that the current Republican supermajority is not in line to what matters to them.

She also asked individuals to remain energized moving forward, urging them to “fight the good fight.”

“You guys are an inspiration to all of us,” she said.

The Woofstock Survivor 5K and dog walk, presented by the Humane Society for Hamilton County, is FUNDRAISER set for 8 a.m. Aug. 13 at Four Day Ray Brewing, 11671 Lantern Rd., Fishers. Registration and check-in is from 6 to 7:30 a.m.

The race is open to all members of the family, including dogs if they are on a leash or in a stroller.

The race is a fundraiser for the Humane Society’s Survivor Program that provides lifesaving medical care for animals in need.

The goal is to raise $45,000, which will provide care for 167 animals.

“The number of animals needing our help through the Survivor Program is growing every year,” said Megan Davis, director of training and communications for the Humane Society of Hamilton County. “Our transfers and rescues from euthanasia from last year to this year has doubled. So, lifesaving work is really what the bottom line is for this event.”

A virtual option is also available. For virtual participants, shirts and medals will be mailed or can be picked up at the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

Prizes will be awarded to the top donators. If a company or organization raises more than $500, it will be promoted on social media by the Humane Society. The person who raises the most overall will have the opportunity for their dog to become the face of next year’s Woofstock.

Event showcases classic cars

By Matthew Kent news@currentinfishers.com It’s fair to say that classic car owners enjoy showing off their beloved vehicles in the summertime with CHAMBER OF the public.

The Greater Lawrence COMMERCE Chamber of Commerce’s June 29 “Music & Motors” event on the parade grounds of Lawton Loop in Lawrence featured more than a dozen cars, food vendors and live music. Among the cars visitors could see included a 1967 yellow Mercury Cougar, a cherry red 1960 Corvette, a classic Chevrolet Camaro and a 1993 Ford Mustang convertible that was one of only 1,500 special edition vehicles ever produced.

The classic car event got its start during the pandemic every Wednesday as a vehicle to get people out of their homes, said Brad Klopfenstein, chamber president. Klopfenstein said Teachers Credit Union had approached the chamber and asked about possibly adding music to one of the Wednesday evening events during the summer.

That eventually led to The Rock Garage, a music school in Castleton, to partner with

John Satterfield, right, pauses next to his restored 1974 Monte Carlo during the Greater Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s “Music & Motors” event June 29 in Lawrence. (Photo by Matthew Kent)

the chamber, according to Klopfenstein, who said the public can come out every Wednesday to check out a variety of classic cars.

“The draw is that it’s a free event, it’s family friendly, and you can bring sandwiches and a cooler if you want,” Klopfeinstein said. “If you’ve got a classic car, it doesn’t cost anything to bring it out, so it’s mostly car aficionados who come out and spend a few hours on Wednesday, and it’s designed to bring people in the heart of Lawrence.”

“Right now, it’s not for sale and it has too much family history,” she said.

Recent first-round draft pick LaRavia is latest former LC star headed to NBA

By Will Riddell will@youarecurrent.com On June 23, former Lawrence Central High School star Jake LaRavia heard his name called out at the 2022 NBA Draft in Brooklyn.

LaRavia was selected in the first round (19th overall) by the Minnesota Timberwolves, then subsequently traded to the Memphis Grizzlies.

LaRavia, who played two years at Indiana State University and one at Wake Forest, moved from California to Indiana at age 6. The Hoosier State has produced many standouts, and LaRavia is the latest in a line from Lawrence Central.

Besides LaRavia, the list includes Nijel Pack, who starred at Kansas State before transferring to the University of Miami in April, and Dre Davis, a guard at Seton Hall who averaged 21.5 points per game for the Bears as a senior. The list also includes guard Kyle Guy, who plays in the NBA G League. Guy played for Lawrence Central before winning a national title at Virginia in 2019.

He has also played for the Sacramento Kings and the Miami Heat. He was drafted in the second round in 2019 by the New York Knicks.

Guy’s father, Joe Guy, isn’t surprised by the fact Lawrence Central continues to produce premier basketball talent.

“There’s so many great players in this area,” he said.

The Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference is no stranger to pro talent. Lawrence North High School — Lawrence Central’s rival — has produced multiple NBA players, including Mike Conley Jr. and Greg Oden.

Conley is a veteran point guard for the Utah Jazz. Oden, whose pro career was plagued by injuries, is the director of basketball operations at Butler University.

Joe Guy said basketball is woven into the fabric of Lawrence.

“It was just what (Kyle and his friends) did,” he said, referring to his son’s long hours in the gym working out.

Joe Guy graduated from LC in 1995, and even though Kyle graduated in 2016, he still keeps a close eye on the school’s athletic teams. He’s not surprised that LaRavia has

turned into an NBA player.

Joe Guy was especially impressed with his Jan. 22 performance against North Carolina, in which the junior dropped a career-high 31 points in a 98-76 win over the Tar Heels.

“Who drops 30 on North Carolina, you know what I mean?” Joe Guy said.

Not many people do, which is why LaRa-

via — a second team All-ACC selection in his lone year with the Demon Deacons — decided to forgo the remainder of his collegiate career and pursue the draft instead.

That decision paid off when NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called his name in the first round as the 19th player off the board.

“This is a dream come true,” LaRavia told reporters at a recent press conference. “I’ve

been dreaming of this moment ever since I was a kid, so hearing my name called, it was such a surreal moment for me, (and) just being able to celebrate (with) my family and friends, it was an experience I ain’t never going to forget.”

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Anything we do frequently enough helps us develop a knack for it. We notice signals imperceptible to others, less experienced than we. Some of us can divine the impending arrival of a summer rainstorm. There are those who can instinctively read the frustration of a domesticated animal and use that insight to improve behavior problems. Many of these “pet whisperers” convert their unusual skills into lucrative careers. Their second sense becomes second cents.

More commonly, we simply develop awareness of the many humble patterns all around us. If a step is missing, we subconsciously take note. No doubt, it is an echo from the day when observing the absence of singing birds or frolicking of woodland creature would tip us to the approach of an alpha predator. These few extra moments of warning might be enough to keep us alive. Frequent commuters will predict the time it might take them to arrive at their destinations within a few minutes of starting the drive. And many road warriors will know, nearly as soon as the crew, if something is wrong after the passengers have boarded an airplane for takeoff.

As the crew scurries about, cabin doors are closed, oxygen mask instructions are given and familiar chimes sound as we prepare for takeoff. If any is out of place, we sit up a little, become more alert and look for irregularity. The jetway is removed from the plane but we’re not backing away from the gate.

Why? The crew is not seated. What gives? Experience is a good teacher. It illuminates the shape of things.

The captain comes on the intercom to tell us that a mechanical problem requires that we return to the gate. Groaning at the inconvenience, we turn to our companion and self-assuredly remark that we “knew that something was wrong.”

As I was walking on Galveston Beach, contemplating my last day as a dance mom, a stranger greeted me with “What’s going on, Red?” I haven’t been called that in years, which got me thinking about all the names I’ve answered to, and how they represent a sort of identity continuum for me.

As a child, I was These days, I’m mostly “Danielle” “Mom” (or “Mother” if most of the my kids are feeling time, even particularly sassy) though it’s actually – DANIELLE WILSON my middle name, but I was also “Doe-well” to a younger sister and inexplicably “Fan Tut” to my parents. As I got older, I often found myself having to forgo “Danielle” in favor of my legal first name, which I will obviously never divulge voluntarily but will tell you it starts with a “V.” Yes, tragically my initials are “VD.” I know!

I spent two years at the U.S. Air Force Academy, where predictably I went by my last name or simply “cadet,” though “Red” was used frequently along with some terms I can’t mention in polite company but were also colorful in nature. And once I started teaching, I was “Miss [insert maiden name here]” before eventually becoming “Mrs. Wilson” or simply “Wilson.”

These days, I’m mostly “Mom” (or “Mother” if my kids are feeling particularly sassy) or “Ma’am,” though my husband will toss around “Wife,” “Woman” and a choice word for “lady of the night” when he’s trying to be funny. I’ll respond to any of them, really, though I draw the line at “Dan,” “Danny” and “D.” Those are unacceptable and forever shall be.

Hopefully I have a long while until I acquire any new names. I am definitely not ready for “Mamaw.” Peace out.

Ways to prevent plantar fasciitis Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan Plantar fasciitis is an injury affecting the ligament that runs along the bottom of your foot, from your heel to your PODIATRY toes. Called the plantar fascia, this connective tissue absorbs a lot of shock as you walk or run.

Too much pressure on your feet can cause the ligament to get overstretched, inflamed and even torn, causing heel pain.

It would be best to not develop this overuse injury by taking steps to avoid this painful condition. Here are four tips for preventing plantar fasciitis.

Protect your mobility Limits on your foot’s flexibility can lead to plantar fasciitis. You’re more likely to have problems if you have tight muscles in your calves, flat feet or an untreated ankle injury. Come into the office at the first sign of pain or mobility issues and we can conduct a thorough exam and recommend ways to keep you moving — and keep heel pain at bay.

a lot of pressure on your plantar fascia. It makes your ligament work overtime, constantly stretching and contracting. Avoid overuse and inflammation by taking frequent sitting breaks throughout the day.

Cross train and build in rest days Continuously subjecting your ligaments to high-impact activities like long or fast daily runs can inflame your plantar fascia.

Even if you’re an athlete, it’s important to incorporate different types of movements into your training. And, when possible, take a day off between workouts to give your plantar fascia a real chance to recover.

Try orthotics Orthotics offer support in the exact spots where your body needs it most. So, if your body’s construction leaves you at risk for plantar fasciitis, we may suggest fitting you for orthotics.

Hancock Health joins the Mayo Clinic Care Network

By Peg McRoy Glover news@currentinfishers.com Hancock Health and Hendricks Regional Health have made a quantum leap when it comes to bringing state of MEIDCINE the art health care to the communities they serve.

Both health care organizations have joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network, a collaborative network of physicians, researchers, and specialists who are available to provide the most up-to-date health care information.

Members are independent health care organizations throughout the world and are carefully vetted before gaining membership into the network.

“It was really clear when we got deep into understanding the organizations’ (Hancock Health and Hendricks Regional Health) culture, quality, and commitment to patient-centered care that these organizations stood out,” said Dr. Mark V. Larson, medical director of the May Clinic Care Network. “We are thrilled to join with them in this collaboration.”

“At Hancock Health, and I would say Hendricks Regional Health as well, we have been on a journey for a long time to elevate the quality and care that we provide,” said Steve Long, president and CEO of Hancock Health. “Although we have experts like medical and radiation oncologists, there are things we just don’t have.

“This network provides us the ability to access 150 years of learning at the Mayo Clinic and bring that learning right into Hancock County Health.”

As members of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, they have access to Mayo Clinic’s

4,700 physicians and an international platform to consult experts all over the world.

They can also access the following: • AskMayExpert — a database of concise clinical information on hundreds of medical conditions, and includes protocols, treatment recommendations, and medical references.

• eConults — enables physicians to contact Mayo Clinic specialists for second opinions on specific patient cases when they believe additional input will benefit their patients.

• eBoards — are live video conferences that enable medical team to virtually review and discuss cases with a team of Mayo Clinic specialists and doctors from May Clinic Care Network health systems.

• Health Care Consulting — provides access to Mayo’s extensive experience, knowledge, and subspecialty expertise to attain clinical, operational, and business goals.

“One of the things that we know is that providing health care locally to patients is best,” said Dr. Julia Compton, cancer care specialist at the Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Center in Greenfield. “One of the things that we want to do is provide any level of care for them without them having to leave home. If I have a cancer patient with a very difficult diagnosis that I may want to get the Mayo Clinic involved in, as opposed to having to send patients to Mayo, I can utilize this resource and provide that care to patients locally.”

An immersive experience: THE LUME displays Monet works

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com According to Indianapolis Museum of Art Vice President of Marketing and External Affairs Jonathan Berger, the ART Claude Monet exhibit at THE LUME is a full sensory experience.

THE LUME recently switched its inaugural exhibit of Vincent van Gogh to one featuring French painter Claude Monet in a display called “Monet & Friends Alive.”

The Monet exhibit opened July 3. THE LUME is on the fourth floor of the Indianapolis Museum of Art with 30,000 square feet of projection space. It is the largest continuous exhibition in the museum’s 139-year history. THE LUME opened in 2021 with the Vincent van Gogh exhibit that ran from July 27, 2021, through May of this year. The museum spent the month of June prepping for the Monet exhibit.

Berger said visitors are greeted with a floral aroma upon entering the Monet exhibit.

“THE LUME is a fully immersive experience,” Berger said. “When you walk into that first big gallery space, you’ll see these amazing images of ‘Monet & Friends’ and hear the music, of course, too. There are various classical tracks to go along that rise and fall with the images. When you see those Monet garden paintings, you’ll have this floral fragrance in there.

It’s totally immersive.”

Berger, executive producer of THE LUME, said the exhibit makes the museum less intimidating.

“I studied art, so I’m a lover of art. A large museum, any large museum, can be somewhat intimidating to people if you’re curious about art but don’t really know where to start,” Berger said. “I think that THE LUME really de-mystifies that museum for a lot of people. You can go up to the fourth floor and explore and engage in art differently. When you come into THE LUME, these images are larger than life. There’s a floor projection and all the walls. It’s just a different way to explore art.”

‘HONKY TONK ANGELS’ “Honky Tonk Angels” begins July 14 and runs through Aug. 14 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

A Parisian café on the fourth floor sells French-inspired snacks and adult beverages. Cocktails include a French gimlet and THE LUME and Tonic, with flower buds frozen in the ice cubes.

“When the ice melts, these flowers bloom in your drink,” Berger said. “It’s a really tasty cocktail and really in line with Monet and that style of en plein air.”

At the end of the Monet exhibit, the museum’s collection of Monet work is on display.

“I like to use the phrase ‘skim, swim, dive,’” Berger said. “You come in and skim and enjoy the art for what it is, the projection and music and aroma. Then there’s those parts that ‘I don’t want to skim, I want to swim.’ I want to go a little deeper. You can interact deeper. In that final gallery, that’s where you really dive in and can look at the real artwork, the real Monet.”

Berger said the IMA chose Monet as the exhibit for 2022 because the Indianapolis

Museum of Art and the Newfields campus is a place for nature and the arts.

“Our mission is to have exceptional experiences with arts and nature,” Berger said. “I can’t think of a better artist that really identifies with that. You have Monet, the father of Impressionism, that did these great paintings outside in nature.

That was all part of that Impressionist movement.”

Berger said the innovation of putting paint in tubes meant artists could venture into the world and paint anywhere.

“Monet would take two or three canvases with him to get the changing light of the day,” he said.

THE LUME is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. It is closed Mondays.

Tickets are $29 and include general admission to the IMA. IMA tickets do not include general admission to THE LUME. For more, visit discovernewfields.org.

CCP schedule offers variety

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Community Players’ 2022-23 schedule features a variety of shows and venues.

COMEDY “It is a great combination of comedies, dramas, musicals and straight plays that come from some of our country’s best-known playwrights and composers,” said Rich Phipps, vice president of the CCP board. “Our season promises to bring compelling entertainment to patrons of all ages.”

The season opens with “Jerry’s Girls,” a Broadway Musical Review, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at PrimeLife Enrichment in Carmel.

The night will serve as a capital campaign fundraiser as CCP seeks to raise funds for a permanent venue.

“Tick, Tick … BOOM!” is set for Oct. 14-23 at Switch Theatre in Fishers. “Uh Oh Here Comes Christmas” is set for Dec. 9-18 at The Cat in Carmel. The final four shows will be at Ivy Tech Hamilton County in Noblesville Auditorium. “Musical Comedy Murders of 1940” will be presented Feb. 24 to March 5,

2023. “True West” is set for April 21-30, 2023.

“Godspell” will be staged June 16-25, 2023, and “Murder on the Orient Express will be presented Aug. 4-13, 2023.

“We have not done any of the shows before at CCP, and that was the idea,” said Lori Raffel, CCP board president. ‘’I chose Ken Ludwick‘s ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ because I read some reviews about it and how it captures the tongue-in-cheek quality of Ken Ludwick along with the great characters of Agatha Christie. I think any more when you do Agatha Christie, you can’t take it too seriously and the script is unique and fun, and I think audiences will really like it.”

Raffel said CCP performed “Ragtime” at Ivy Tech in April 2018.

“We really liked the venue and we’re hoping to sell lots of tickets this coming season, so that’s why we chose it for the last four productions,” Raffel said.

The ‘Godspell’ production is for rising young stars. Tanya Haas will direct the youth productions as she did earlier this summer.

THE BLUEPRINT • A portico and columns add plenty of pop to the formerly plain exterior entry, as well as practical protection from the elements.

• New double French doors replace the single front door for a stylish statement that welcomes visitors.

• Stamped concrete on the walkway, rounded steps and entry provide style and durability.

• White pine tongue-and-groove, stained in a rich wood tone, on the portico roof provides a warm contrast to the exterior elements.

• Oversized lanterns and planters complete the look.

A visit to Franciscan Assisi Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in our second visit to Assisi, we look at sites associated with St. Francis.

Francesco (“Francis”) di PiTRAVEL etro di Bernardone was born in Assisi in about A.D. 1181 to a prosperous Italian merchant and his wife, a French noblewoman. At about age 22, Francis abandoned his previously decadent lifestyle and became a beggar, to the displeasure of his father, who reportedly locked him in a storeroom. After a vision, Francis began restoring churches around Assisi, including tiny Porziuncola where he lived in a nearby hut and renounced his family and its wealth. Francis adopted the dress of a poor priest and began attracting followers to Porziuncola with his idea of a simple life of poverty, following the example of Jesus.

In 1209, Pope Innocent III recognized Francis and 11 followers, who had traveled to Rome to meet him, as the “Franciscan Order,” requiring members not to own property and to beg for food while preaching in the streets. While close to death, Francis asked to be returned to his hut near Porziuncola and to be buried outside the city among thieves, emulating Jesus.

Francis died in his hut on Oct. 3, 1226.

Less than two years later, Pope Gregory IX declared Francis a saint and began building the Basilica of St. Francis on an Assisi hillside, previously the burial ground of criminals, as the saint’s burial site. The magnificent basilica on the renamed Hill of Paradise, including an Upper Church, a Lower Church and the crypt of St. Francis, is the most important destination for the thousands of pilgrims who visit Assisi each
