Shaw continued to argue her point as Pritchard tried to restore order and as the crowd’s support for Shaw grew louder.

Shaw ignored Pritchard’s requests to stop speaking and started reading from the book, even after her microphone was cut off. The crowd became more agitated, which led to most of the school board members responding by leaving for a recess, as audience members chanted, “We pay you.”

When the meeting resumed 20 minutes later, public comment was suspended for the rest of the night.

The board did not make an appointment to the library board during the meeting.

Man dies in Geist Reservoir

By Jonathan Mattes jonathan@youarecurrent.com An Indianapolis man is dead after drowning on Aug. 1 in Geist Reservoir.

POLICE Vincent “Teddy” Patton, 33, was a track and wrestling coach at Guion Creek Middle School in the Metropolitan School District of Pike Township.

He and another man were swimming off a pontoon boat without life jackets. According to a press release from the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources, witnesses said Patton was attempting to swim back to the boat after retrieving some clothes in the water when he disappeared from view. After Patton entered the water, the boat, due to wind conditions, began to drift away from him.

DNR officials were notified at approximately 3 p.m. and a search for Patton began. The reservoir was being patrolled by the DNR at the time that Patton first disappeared, so a search began quickly but was ultimately unsuccessful in finding him in time. His body was discovered a short time later by members of the Fishers Fire Dept. dive team.

He was taken to IU Health Saxony Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Indiana Conservation Officer Brent Bohbrink called the event “tragic” and said the investigation is ongoing.

“It’s very tragic, and unfortunately, even though it may be uncommon to happen at Geist, it is a sad occurrence that happens all across the state of Indiana,” Bohbrink said.

“On behalf of the MSD of Pike Township, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to Mr. Patton’s family, friends, colleagues and students,” MSD of Pike Township stated in a press release. “We are grateful for the positive impact that Mr. Patton had on our student-athletes and everyone he encountered.

He was a valued member of our Pike family who will be deeply missed.”

Guerin golfer Pfefferkorn seeks fourth state appearance

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Guerin Catholic High School girls golf coach Mark Mathews expects senior Christina Pfefferkorn to have a successful senior season. But he wants her to enjoy herself along the way.

“Christina continues to improve her game. Her driver and second shots are a strong part of her game. (Her) short game and putting are also a strong part of her overall game,” Guerin coach Mark Mathews said of Pfefferkorn. “Christina is self-motivated and a fierce competitor, and the fact that her sister (Angelica) is such a great player gives her extra motivation and inspiration to follow in her steps. My expectations for Christina’s senior year are to enjoy every minute with her team and play to the best of her ability. She can control both of those things and that will result in a great senior year.”

Pfefferkorn, a Westfield resident, was the medalist and helped the Golden Eagles to victory in the first high school tournament of the year Aug. 3 with a 77 at Maple Creek Country Club in Indianapolis.

MEET CHRISTINA PFEFFERKORN

School: Guerin Catholic Class: Senior Sport: Golf College plans: Wants to play golf Favorite subject: Math Favorite TV show: “Outer Banks” Favorite music: Top 40 hits How do you relax: Hang out with friends and go to the pool.

Christina Pfefferkorn holds the trophy after winning the Golf Week Junior Tour at Lexington, Ky. in March with a score of 74-80. (Photo courtesy of Pfefferkorn family).

“I struggled a little bit, but I brought it back together,” she said.

She shot 70 to lead Guerin to the All-Catholic title at Pebble Brook in Noblesville.

Pfefferkorn placed 10th in the IHSAA State Finals at Carmel Prairie View Golf Club in October 2020. She also competed in the state meet the previous two years, but 10th was her highest finish.

“My overall goal for the season is to place really well and make it to state,” she said.

“Staying consistent with my swing will help me play really well.”

Pfefferkorn tied for 33rd in the state tournament in 2019 and tied for 37th in 2018.

Guerin was fifth as a team that year.

“Since last season, I think I made the most improvement in my short game,” Pfefferkorn said.

Pfefferkorn had some solid showings since the end of the 2020 high season. She said she is most proud about winning the IGA Indiana Jr. Age Championship 17 division title July 1-2 at Golf Club at Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth. She shot rounds of 71-73.

Her sister Angelica Pfefferkorn is a 2020 Guerin Catholic graduate who is a sophomore golfer at Oklahoma State University.

Angelica was eighth in the state in 2019.

The sisters learned to play at the same time when Angelica was 6 and Christina was 4.

“We’ve always pushed each other to practice more and play harder against each other,” Christina said. “I played a lot of sports when I was younger, but as I grew up, I focused more of my time on golf.”

Picnic supports Coxhall Gardens

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Posh Picnic was created in 2018 as a fundraiser to support Carmel’s Coxhall Mansion and grounds.

FUNDRAISER Guests provide their own favorite culinary delights, refreshments and table settings.

The Posh Picnic is set for 6:30 to 11 p.m. Aug. 21 in a tented Cripe Pavilion in the Coxhall Gardens, 11677 Towne Rd., on the southeast corner of the Coxhall Estate. Carmel residents Mary Robinson and Audrey Nelson serve as co-chairs of the event, which is sponsored by the Coxhall Guild and Friends of Hamilton County Parks.

This will be the third Posh Picnic. There was no Posh Picnic in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The funds are used to improve Coxhall Gardens,” Robinson said. “The proceeds from the 2019 event provided a new covered outdoor learning center that provided shade for the picnic tables as well as three bronze statues in the Children’s Garden.”

The learning center space was completed in 2020 and the statues were finished this

Tom Wood Subaru sponsors Canine Companion event Canine Companions is leading the service dog industry so their clients and dogs can live with greater independence. They provide service dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings. Their dogs and all follow-up services are provided at no cost! Clients come to Canine Companions because of their reputation, the quality of their dogs, the experience of the training staff and the desire to lead life with greater independence. They are committed to providing services to all qualified clients.

We recently got to work with these wonderful folks and sponsored one of their events, which raised money for this great organization. The Cochair of the Canine Companions Central Indiana Chapter; Judy Loomis, emailed this nice thank you letter: Thank you Tom Wood Subaru for sponsoring our “Perfect Pairing Event” for Canine Companions on a beautiful summer evening at Sugar Creek Winery. It was a full house, tasting wine and appetizers, while meeting some special dogs, including 8 puppies, 4 service/hearing dogs, and 3 facility dogs.

At Canine Companions, we raise puppies from 8 months old to about 18 - 20 months old, in volunteer Puppy Raiser homes, where they learn 30 commands. Once they are raised, they go to Advanced Training at our regional campus in New Albany, OH. Here they learn 10 or more commands, before

they are matched with a recipient - free of charge!

Also thanks to the help of Tom Wood Subaru, several who attended signed up as Monthly Miracle Makers, pledging to support Canine Companions monthly. We had presentations playing throughout the evening, showing the different tasks our dogs do for their recipient, which included a commercial from Tom Wood Subaru. We also had signs throughout to proudly display Tom Wood Subaru as our sponsor.

It is a huge endeavor for our dogs to be placed free of charge, since some recipients can’t always afford something so basic as having independence. We sure do appreciate your sponsorship and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Thank you, Judy Loomis and the Canine Companions Team Everyone here at Tom Wood Subaru, would like to thank you Judy and the whole “Canine Companions” team for being such a blessing to our community and for all of the things you do!

Mount Vernon football program aims to build upon recent success with new head coach Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Last year, the Mount Vernon High School football team won 12 games, the most wins in a single season in program history. The team’s goals for 2021 are high, but if the defending sectional champion Marauders are to build on last season’s success, they’ll do it with a new man leading the program.

Vince Lidy is the new head coach, replacing Mike Kirschner, who left to take the head coaching job at Class 6A Warren Central High School.

“I’m not going to be Coach Kirschner, but there are a lot of things that he put in place here that he had during his time at Ben Davis that were similar to what we had at Hamilton Southeastern,” said Lidy, a firsttime head coach. “We know what worked.

The things that have worked we’ve kept on and we are building on.”

Lidy, 44, came to Class 4A Mount Vernon in 2018 after leaving Class 6A Hamilton Southeastern High School to join Kirschner as the Marauders’ defensive coordinator.

He has long been a Fortville resident with his wife, Shelley, and two children, Max and Mallory, who are in seventh and second grade, respectively, in Mount Vernon schools.

During Lidy’s time at Mount Vernon, the football participation numbers have grown significantly, rising from 71 in 2017 to 115 this year.

“I’m out of helmets,” Lidy said. “I’ve got helmets out somewhere in the delivery world.”

Lidy’s got a unique task ahead. He’s inheriting a team that is coming off its best three-year stretch in program history with 30 wins, two sectional titles, a regional championship and a semistate appearance in 2019. The senior class needs at least five wins this season to top the class of 2021 for the most wins in team history during a four-year period.

If someone can keep building upon that foundation, Kirschner believes his successor has the qualities to do it.

“We spent three years together, three really good years, and he’s really intense.

He’s got a passion for the game, he’s got

a passion for kids and he was fun to work with because he was always thinking about the game,” Kirschner said. “Sometimes you see coaches who don’t think outside the box, but he definitely does.”

Lidy also has the pedigree.

A Newburgh, Ind., native, Lidy is the son of a retired football coach, John Lidy, who guided Castle High School to two state championships. Vince played for his dad as a quarterback and linebacker, and the pair won the second of John’s state championships during Vince’s senior season in 1994.

Lidy’s college football career overlapped briefly with star quarterback Antwaan Randle-El at Indiana University. In college, he helped out at Bloomington South High School, which was coached by future Indiana Football Hall of Famer, Mo Moriarty, and quarterbacked by future Indiana Mr. Football Rex Grossman.

After graduating from college, Lidy was an assistant for most of the 2000s at Ham-

ilton Southeastern, seeing the Royals win three sectional titles and playing for the state championship in 2005.

Lidy thought he was ready for the Mount Vernon job when it came open at the end of 2017, so he applied.

“I had a buddy. We’re on Christmas break and he said, ‘You’re not getting this job.’

And I’m like, ‘How do you know?’” Lidy said.

“He told me Coach Kirschner was going to get the job. I thought, ‘Well, they can’t go wrong there.’ He was just coming off his state championship run at Ben Davis.”

Kirschner recalls his first task when he got the position in 2017.

“When I got the job, the first thing I did was call (Lidy) to see if he’d be interested in coming on,” Kirschner said. “He wanted to be an offensive coordinator. I got to meet with him at Cracker Barrel at 21st and Post.

He was all over the place. He was ready to jump out of his seat. He was talking about how to do this or that. I told my wife later

he’s not an offensive coordinator, he’s a defensive coordinator. Defensive guys have this level of energy. They can’t finish their thoughts half the time because they’re (thinking multiple steps ahead). I just loved his energy.”

That energy, combined with Kirschner’s experience, turned Mount Vernon into a Class 4A threat. They created a weight room program, for athletes to lift weights together at school. Lidy plans to hold players accountable for their actions both on the football field and in the classroom.

If the Marauders stay focused in the classroom and on the field, Lidy believes they will play fast and aggressive. Maybe, if all the pieces line up, Mount Vernon can reach more win milestones.

ON THE COVER: Vince Lidy lines up the offensive and defensive lines during a summer Mount Vernon practice. (Photo by Jonathan Matthes)

WHY KIRSCHNER LEFT FOR WARREN CENTRAL Mike Kirschner came to Class 4A Mount Vernon High School in 2018, one year removed from winning a state title at Class 6A Ben Davis High School. During his three seasons, the Marauders won 30 games, but when the Warren Central job came open, he opted to apply at the school where he began his coaching career in the 1980s.

In short, Kirschner found the challenge to coach at Warren Central irresistible.

“We had to put a big staff together.

We had to rebuild the weight room.

We hired a new strength coach. He’s been fantastic. He was an assistant strength coach at Purdue. We were fighting a pandemic. We weren’t even in school full time,” Kirschner said.

“When you coach in 6A football, it’s just different. Not that 4A is bad, 4A is really good. But 6A’s a different breed. We’ll give it our best.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Speaking out

Gambling it all goes well

Commentary by Terry Anker “To be or not to be,” or so said the bard. In his circa-1600 work “Hamlet,” William Shakespeare addressed the duality of suicide. The young prince is overwhelmed by the many challenges of the “modern” life yet was held back from his strong desire to flee it by an even stronger concern that the alternative might not be much better. Do we settle for the painful present or roll the dice hoping that we might find an improved, if unknown, future? Do we accept that well enough is well enough or do we risk the known downside for the hopeful upside?

Happily, most of us don’t find ourselves as Danish princes lamenting the murder of our fathers and the rather unconventional replacement that mom had in mind for dad. Still, most of us, anyway, do carry our own share of unpleasantness. We endure, toil and hold our tongues. We tolerate that which delivers sometimes considerable sorrow knowing that a disruption of those challenges may bring us to an even worse place.

Do we speak our minds, telling those who are hurting us because of their transgression? Or do we turn the other cheek? Again? And again? If we cry out, can we take it back? Is it really all that bad? Should we just keep our mouths shut and expect that it isn’t as difficult as we fear it might be? Even if we get our way, we cannot be entirely sure that getting what we want is going to improve our lives much, if at all.

We humans have evolved to understand the value of our instincts. Fear helps to keep us safe. But if we never speak out, are we protecting ourselves from one threat only to expose ourselves to a more horrible, if longer-term, exposure?

Delta variant can be spread by vaccinated, unvaccinated

By Jarred Meeks jarred@yoaurecurrent.com State health officials warned July 30 that new research indicates the COVID-19 delta variant spreads as easily PANDEMIC as chickenpox and measles and can be spread by vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

Since May, the delta variant has become the predominant strain in Indiana, accounting for more than 90 percent of samples sequenced in July, according to state health officials. Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said new data shows infected people, regardless of vaccination status, can spread the variant, making it approximately as contagious as chickenpox, which she said is of significant concern because more than half of Indiana’s population is unvaccinated against COVID-19.

On July 27, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance, calling for all people 2 and older to wear face coverings in areas of substantial or

high transmission of COVID-19, which includes all of central Indiana, regardless of vaccination status.

Because of the new research, the CDC recommends all people who have close contacts get tested for COVID-19 three to five days after exposure. Box said the definition of a close contact has not changed with the CDC’s new guidance.

All K-12 institutions are required to report all positive cases to the ISDH and local health departments. The ISDH recommends all school districts follow CDC guidelines that recommend all students, teachers and staff wear face masks in school. The department stopped short of mandating masks because of a “philosophical” belief that local officials, who were elected by their constituents, are the best people to determine whether a district should require masks, Box said.

As of July 30, the state had not discussed imposing capacity limits on businesses or gathering restrictions on residents, Box said. She also said a vaccine mandate has not been considered.

Geist resident begins foray into feature films

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Geist resident Sam Mirpoorian is only 28, but he’s already received three regional Emmys and many othFILMMAKER er awards for his work.

Now, he is breaking into the world of feature films with his debut “Greener Pastures,” which is finishing up production.

The Lawrence Central High School graduate started producing documentary shorts in 2017 with his undergraduate capstone project, “Little Warriors.” The short played at 10 festivals across the nation and was the grand prize winner at the 2017 Heartland Film Festival.

In 2018, Mirpoorian was the editor and producer of “Destination Park,” a documentary short by Andrew Cohn, Mirpoorian’s longtime mentor and friend.

In spring 2018, Mirpoorian wanted to dive into feature-length films, so he began working on “Greener Pastures,” a film inspired by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention case study that showed farmers and agriculture workers have the highest rate of suicide among any profession in the United States. The idea has thrust Mirpoorian into a three-year project with “Greener Pastures,” which recently finished filming.

“My mentor (Cohn) compelled me and pushed me to elevate my career to get out of the shorts space and work on features.

That’s what expedites your career path, so for the next six to seven months I was doing discovery trying to find farmers open enough to talk about these vulnerable details of their lives,” Mirpoorian said.

While shooting “Greener Pastures,” Mirpoorian also started shooting “Sonnie,” which he calls his most successful project to date. “Sonnie” is a documentary short about a single father raising his son. It has been playing at festivals for a year and a half. Since it began screening, it’s played at more than 40 festivals and has won more than 10 awards, including three regional Emmys.

“I want to make that public in the next month or two,” said Mirpoorian, who

filmed “Sonnie” in 2019. “When I wasn’t on the road shooting for ‘Greener Pastures,’ I was shooting ‘Sonnie.’ I also was teaching and finishing up my masters.”

Mirpoorian has a degree in media arts science from the Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing. Outside of making films, he likes to run and exercise outdoors, although he said he often works 18 hours a day on his films.

Mirpoorian said he has many long-term goals, some as ambitious as returning to school for his doctorate and possibly run-

ning for political office.

“I think the coolest thing about film and storytelling is making relationships with people from different walks of life, and it’s a testament to the experience of what life is all about,” he said. “My main goal is I would love to continue to be healthy and have the opportunity to work on projects, and if I don’t ever reach a certain level of prominence where my work is being revered but maybe one person sees it and is inspired, that’s all that really matters.”

Art teacher paints canoe

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Darlene Patterson is usually a potter, but she took on an entirely different type of art project.

PAINTING The Noblesville resident and Promise Road Elementary art teacher took part in a White River project painting a canoe for display at Conner Prairie in Fishers on the trail that leads to the White River.

“This is awesome for me Patterson to be able to go out of my current comfort zone and do a project that I wouldn’t normally be spending my time doing,” said Patterson, who has a home studio for her pottery. “I loved doing the project that was a cross between a sculpture and a painting. It was super fun.”

Her painted canoe represents the four seasons.

chor locations along the White River.

Haley Cowart, education and outreach coordination with the White River Alliance, said the painted canoes are designed to bring attention to the river and some events going on.

“The 10 locations were chosen from the White River Vision Plan,” Cowart said.

Each of the canoes was painted by a different local artist from Marion County or Hamilton County.

The canoes were installed in July and are on display through October, with five canoes in Marion County and five in Hamilton County.

Patterson’s project took about six weeks from start to finish.

I loved the mussels, but the real winner was the broth, which I hope to make at home because it was so warm and comforting with a slight kick. I also loved the crispy halloumi naan ($11.95), a vegetarian dish with thick, fried halloumi cheese atop warm naan with tamarind chutney, cilantro chutney, sweet yogurt, curry aioli, mango, pickled red onion and a delightful herb salad. Another good vegetarian option for nonmeat eaters is the Szechuan chilled noodles ($13.95), a cool bowl of noodles, shiitake mushrooms, snap peas, sprouts, cucumbers and black vinegar sauce. The Szechuan chilled noodles were cool and refreshing, great for lunch on a summer day.

I left Next Door American Eatery feeling full but healthy, not overstuffed and lethargic and in desperate need of a nap like after most of my reviews.

It’s a great option for health-conscious folks as well as those who want vegetarian or gluten-free options.

Blueprint for Improvement: Fresh curb appeal in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene This 1997 home is in Carmel’s Bayhill neighborhood. The owners wanted to update the exterior with fresh, modern finishes to increase curb appeal.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The front door, sidelights and transom windows were all updated, as was the door hardware and exterior light fixtures.

• The decorative corbels were removed, and the columns were updated with decorative trim.

• The sidewalk and porch were resurfaced with a concreate overlay.

• Rough-sawn cedar trim was added above the front window and the garage doors.

• The home got a fresh coat of paint to complete this gorgeous transformation.

We can be heroes — or heros?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Oh, those crazy “o”-ending words! What are we going to do with them? Specifically, how do we know how to spell them when they become GRAMMAR GUY plural? And how do we make sure we don’t get a misspelled tattoo? Let’s march forward into the mess.

In college, I had a friend who wanted to honor his late grandfather by getting a tattoo. He wanted to ink “Last of the Heroes” on his arm in elegant script; however, neither he nor the tattoo artist knew how to spell the plural form of the word “hero,” so my friend got “Last of the Heros” permanently emblazoned on his forearm. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that it wasn’t spelled right.

A “heros,” as it turns out, is a type of multicolored fish found in South American river basins. My friend’s grandfather was not the last of a species of fish.

There are some ways to know how to spell plural words ending in “o,” so let’s tackle them before we all start getting poorly spelled tattoos.

If the “o”-ending word has a consonant before the “o,” the general rule is to add “es” to make the word plural. We find this in the case of words including potatoes, tomatoes, dingoes, echoes and buffaloes.

Of course, that depends on which dictionary you consult. Some say that both “buffalos” and “buffaloes” are correct. You can find some that include “heros” as an acceptable plural form of “hero.” Can the American Spelling Council please convene on this issue?

If the “o”-ending word has a vowel before the “o,” the general rule is to add “s” to make the word plural. We see this in ratios, studios, tattoos, radios and zoos.

Also, if a word is a shortened form of a longer word, like kilo, photo, hippo and memo, simply add “s” to make the word plural.

GOLF for

Commentary by Don Knebel One of Indiana’s earliest National Historic Landmarks, a house in Fountain City, is not important for its architecture, TRAVEL but for its 19th-century owners.

Because the 1793 Fugitive Slave Act authorized owners of enslaved people essentially to kidnap ones who escaped bondage, even in states outlawing slavery, abolitionists organized a network to assist individuals seeking freedom to travel as far as Canada to avoid capture. In 1813, 15-year-old Levi Coffin, a Quaker, began supporting this “Underground Railroad” in North Carolina. In 1826, he moved to Newport (now Fountain City), a Quaker community, where he established a successful business and hid freedom seekers in his home until they continued their journeys north. In 1839, Coffin and his wife Catherine built an eight-room Federal-style brick house along a major north/south highway passing through Newport. The house featured a basement kitchen and a basement well, making it harder to detect Mrs. Coffin feeding extra people inside. Because of their own anti-slavery sentiments, Newport residents alerted the Coffins to bounty hunters so they could hide the freedom seekers.

Their house became the “Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad,” and Levi Coffin was dubbed the “President of the Underground Railroad.” During the 20 years the Coffins lived in Newport before moving to Ohio, they assisted about 2,000 freedom seekers, all of whom made it to freedom.

The Levi & Catherine Coffin House was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. The state of Indiana purchased the property in 1967 and opened the beautifully restored house, displaying a color portrait of Coffin, in 1970. An interpretive center, opened in 2016, provides information about

DISPATCHES Hiding valuables — The most common places thieves look for hidden valuables are dresser drawers, nightstands and medicine cabinets. They rarely look in kids’ rooms, so valuables can be hidden there. Also, a good place to store emergency cash is inside a photo album. No thief is going to take time to peruse your family albums.

Source: FamilyHandyman.com Brighten stained containers — If your Tupperware containers have dull orange stains from tomato-based sauces, here’s a fix.

Make a paste of baking soda and water. Rub on the inside of the container and let sit for a few hours. Rinse off and the stains should be gone.

Easy upgrades — When preparing to sell a house, owners will often spend a lot of time and money doing repairs and upgrades. One of the easiest, and most affordable, DIY updates is to replace outlet covers with higher tech versions. Outlet covers now come with built-in USB chargers, nightlights and more.
