OBITUARY Brenda (Lindvall) Forbes, 69, passed away on February 4, 2022 at Riverview Hospital in Noblesville, IN after fighting to recover from a stroke for the past two months.

Brenda graduated from Culver Community High School in 1971.

She attended Purdue University where she met Kirk Forbes over a bucket of paper mâché glue while making a Homecoming sign. They were wed in August 1973. She went into retail management until she became a stay-at-home mom and raising three children, spoiling three grandchildren, training four German shepherds and putting up with Kirk for 48 years.

She was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, and most importantly, grandmother. Brenda enjoyed the water and traveling — visiting all but six states. In her free time, she enjoyed researching her family’s genealogy, crafting and cooking with her grandchildren.

Brenda loved Jesus and her life’s work reflects that dedication. She volunteered with the church’s youth group, managed funeral meals, taught at vacation bible school, participated in the Tea & Tables Celebration, was an Apples of Gold mentor and volunteered at the Church Bazaar.

Her favorite contribution was the annual mission trip to Henderson Settlement in Frakes, Kentucky. She was passionate about educating children and served as a substitute

teacher for over 10 years. She volunteered a significant portion of her life supporting the Girl Scouts — with her favorite activities including the annual cookie sale and her week at Camp Dellwood every summer.

Brenda helped co-author the book, Love, Kristen, telling the story about her daughter’s battle with cervical cancer.

She co-founded the Kristen Forbes EVE Foundation with her husband, and is in the documentary movie, Someone You Love — The HPV Epidemic. She helped create and manage the Noblesville Angel of Hope Memorial in Forest Park.

Brenda is survived by her husband, Kirk Forbes; daughter, Megan Russo (Joe Russo); son, Eric Forbes (Jamie Forbes); brothers, Bruce, Brian, Brent, Bryce and Brad Lindvall; and grandchildren, Joey Russo, Harper Forbes, and Henry Forbes.

Brenda is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Phyllis Lindvall; and her daughter, Kristen Forbes.

A memorial service was held Saturday, February 12, 2022 at Emmanuel United Methodist Church, 16000 Cumberland Rd., Noblesville IN 46060.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in memory of our daughter, Kristen Forbes, to the American Cancer Society, PO Box 681405, Indianapolis, IN 46268-1405.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School junior swimmer Will Modglin has been able to concentrate on his training most of this high school season.

That’s because Modglin made a verbal commitment in November to sign with the University of Texas for the 2023-24 school year.

“A big thing was how I felt around the team and the team culture when I went on my official visit,” Modglin said of his decision. “I loved the campus and everything that went along with it. It was really a perfect fit. Texas has had lasting success with multiple swimmers over multiple years.

“I was able to put my trust in the program and trust in coaches that they are going to be able to get me wherever I need to be.”

Modglin took all five of his official college visits in the fall of 2021, so the process was time consuming.

“It had taken a lot of time out of the water, so I was looking to get back into training,” Modglin said. “I was looking forward to

“After I knew Texas was the place, it was nice to be done with it and move on.”

Modglin’s other visits were to the University of California/Berkley, Stanford, University of Virginia and North Carolina State. His brothers, Sanders and Coleman, both swim collegiately. Sanders is a senior at Saginaw Valley State and Coleman is a sophomore at

Purdue.

“It was me comparing to them, not as far as achievements, but timewise and how fast we were compared to each other,” Modglin said. “It was more like, ‘I see your time and I want to go faster than that time.’”

Modglin is looking to go plenty fast at the IHSAA boys swimming state finals, which are set for Feb. 25-26 at the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI. Modglin won the 200-yard individual medley and the 100 backstroke at last year’s state finals. He also was on two relays that finished second at the state meet.

Heading into the Feb. 17-19 sectionals, Modglin, 17, is ranked No. 1 in the state in the 200 IM and 100 backstroke.

Modglin said he has made the most improvement on his endurance and his underwater technique.

“My underwater kick has gotten a lot better,” Modglin said.

Carmel, which has won the last seven boys team state championships, is ranked No. 1 in team poll and is Zionsville No. 2. The Eagles finished third in the state last year and Fishers was second.

Archery team members learn a variety of skills at Koteewi Range state championships; three outdoor state championships; finished in the top three in more than 20 regional indoor and outdoor tournaments; and set four outdoor state records. The team has also placed in the top five in three national tournaments.

“Our team shows a lot of respect for other teams. We are always cheering on our competitors as well as our own teammates,” Girt said.

CREATING A STATE-OFTHE-ART FACILITY

By Jillian Kurtz news@currentnoblesville.com One day each week, members of The Wolfpack archery team practice at the Koteewi Range at Strawtown Koteewi Park in Noblesville. Whether at the facility’s indoor or outdoor ranges, the young archers learn more than just archery skills at practice.

Tony Girt, 55, coaches The Wolfpack archery team at the Koteewi Sport & Target Archery Center. He teaches archery skills and life skills, such as communication and time management.

A native of Anderson, Girt was first introduced to archery by his brother and brother-in-law as a 14-year-old.

“It was basically hunting back then,” Girt said. “We spent all summer long competing

at tournaments to better our skills and prepare us for hunting.”

Girt was in his mid-20s when he opened his own archery shop. He has been coaching archery for 15 years.

Ranging from 10 to 17 years old, members of The Wolfpack have different archery skill levels. Cheyenne Boggs, 15, was introduced to archery when she was in third grade and has been on the team ever since.

“I used to be super shy and wouldn’t talk to anyone,” said Boggs, a freshman at Hamilton Heights High School. “That’s definitely not the case anymore.”

Wolfpack members compete at local and national levels and have to learn time-management skills when traveling for competitions.

“I’m still doing my math homework

during tournaments,” Boggs said. “It can be stressful.”

Fishers High School senior Druin McGill, 17, signed up for six weeks of lessons with Girt. Her goal was to find a new hobby and learn new skills.

“I didn’t even see it as a competitive sport at the time,” McGill said. “I shot a few arrows during my time in 4-H and with Boy Scouts, so that’s what gave me the interest to try the lessons.”

McGill is the oldest member of the Wolfpack and has been a part of the program’s growth.

“It’s been really rewarding seeing the new members come in and see the experiences they have and all that they have learned as well,” McGill said.

The team has won a combined four indoor

Strawtown Koteewi Park is owned and operated by the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. The county began acquiring the now 800-plus acres of land in Noblesville in 1999.

One of the original visions was for the park to have a state-of-the-art archery facility.

“I was at an indoor state tournament probably 10 years ago competing, and I happened to see a guy sitting over in the corner with a drawing of what they had in mind (for the park),” said Tony Girt, who coaches The Wolfpack archery team.

The man that Girt met was Al Patterson, who at the time was director of the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept.

“That’s how it all began,” said Girt, who calls the archery facility world class.

The Koteewi Sport & Target Archery Center annually hosts several state and national-level tournaments, including for the International Bowhunter’s Organization and Archery Shooter’s Association, among others.

Ranges are open to the public, and the facility has a pro shop.

ESSAY

HUMOR

New paths to old ways

Even adults aren’t immune Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker It is a challenge to find a news commentator, comedian or person in line next to us waiting to get a cup of coffee who doesn’t have something to say about how much the world has changed in these past many months. We have discovered e-learning, mask wearing and vaccine cards. We have mastered how to order online, stand 6 feet apart and mercilessly judge anyone who doesn’t agree with us. Still, is revolution something new? Had we been steady until 2020 and then suddenly slipped into a new world order? Or, has disruption been with us, a part of the human condition, all along?

For decades, Americans would stay in their cars to fill with fuel and park them to go inside when it was time to eat. Gas station attendants would check the oil, wash the windows and top off the tank — all as we’d sit idly reading a print newspaper that we’d picked up from the driveway before beginning the daily commute. If we needed coffee, we pulled into the diner, parked, went inside, ordered, waited for someone to make it and deliver the beverage, and then we drank it from stoneware mugs at a table while finishing that morning paper. In so few years, we’ve reversed it all.

Now, we get out of our cars to get gas and stay inside them to eat. Is selfserve cheaper, faster or better for the environment? Is a drive-thru the key to weight loss, better human interaction or improved personal freedom?

Before sliding into some nostalgic coma, self-assured that before was better than after, we might consider critically our choices. Same the other way. Is after any better than before? As we reorder the nature of our lives, are we really finding improvement?

Those of you with young-adult children will know all about senioritis, a dastardly disease that, in its mildest form, merely drains its victims of scholastic enthusiasm but, at its worst, renders infected 12th-graders completely incapable of fulfilling their graduation destinies. Alas, our youngest, despite receiving both doses and a booster of the High Expectations vaccine, has finally succumbed to a moderate case, just like her siblings before her (we think she may have had it in October 2021, but we never had her tested).

Interestingly, I also seemed to have contracted senioritis this go-around, although I believe I suffer from the longhaul omega variant that is commonly found among parents of multiple kids.

Unlike the original strain, omega attacks the part of the brain that makes you enforce rules and curfews and good decisions upon your teenage offspring.

Where I used to care deeply about her grades and attendance and bedtimes, now I simply don’t give a darn. I literally can’t muster the strength to say, “No” when she asks me to call her out for first period. She’s been accepted to college and she’s worked hard. If she wants to sleep in and skip AP Lit, fine. I have those secretaries on speed dial.

See what I mean? The maternal apathy is impressive, especially given I’m a teacher. I would have never catered to the whims of my older darlings like I do with my baby. But that’s the insidiousness of senioritis. Those who thought they were immune because they’ve survived previous outbreaks are hit the hardest. Case in point: me.

Stay safe, friends. Senioritis is scary, but god willing, you can endure.

Peace out.

County to close fairground vaccination clinic

DISPATCHES Tips for sleep without OTC melatonin use — It can be alluring to reach for melatonin supplements when you’re having trouble sleeping, but sometimes other natural options may be better. Your body produces its own melatonin, but around age 40, your body begins to produce less melatonin, which can lead to age-related sleep problems. Whatever your age, you can help melatonin do its job by taking a few simple steps: keep the lights low before bed, avoid blue light from computers, smartphones and tablets for two to three hours before bed, get exposure to daylight during the morning and eat foods that naturally contain melatonin like corn, cucumbers, asparagus, olives, pomegranate, nuts, seeds, barley and rolled oats. Studies have reported that consumption of kiwis, tart cherry juice, and salmon may improve sleep, too.

news@currentnoblesville.com The COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville will close after Feb. 18.

“The demand for vacciPANDEMIC nations has leveled off and there are now enough additional vaccine sites to fill the need,” stated Chris Walker, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Hamilton County Health Dept.

“That means we no longer require as much Walker space or staff to accommodate those still wanting or needing the COVID-19 vaccines.”

The health department will move its vaccination clinic back to its office at 18030 Foundation Dr., Noblesville, starting Feb. 23. Appointments can still be made at ourshot.in.gov or by calling 211.

“Working from our office again will also allow us to get back to our primary role of providing childhood vaccinations alongside the COVID-19 vaccine,” HCHD administrator Jason LeMaster stated. “If there is another surge in demand, we’ll be prepared for it, but for now we feel we can manage it in-house.”

New blood cancer treatment — A type of blood-cancer treatment that has shown remarkable success in clinical trials is beginning to receive FDA approvals. In CAR T-cell therapy, blood is drawn from a patient to isolate T-cells, the powerhouses of the body’s immune system.

The T-cells are reprogrammed to kill tumor cells and then infused back into the patient. This appears to be most effective with certain types of blood cancers.

Better way to take meds — Some medicines are better absorbed by the body if taken sublingually. This means the medicine is placed under your tongue and held there until it is absorbed. It can go directly into the bloodstream without being digested first. If you have trouble taking pills, or have digestive difficulties, ask your doctor about sublingual alternatives.

Source: The Alternative Advisor Eye pain relief — When something small and abrasive gets in your eye — such as a piece of sand or dirt whipped up by the wind — the last thing you want to do is rub it against your fragile cornea. Try this instead - grab a facial tissue. With one hand, pull your lashes so that the upper lid is away from your eye. With the other hand holding the tissue, gently blow your nose three times. The pressure should make that foreign object fly away.

Source: BottomLineInc.com Avoid that cold — As soon as you feel that first hint of a cold – stuffy nose or scratchy throat – begin a regimen of Vitamin C and zinc. Take 500-1500mg of Vitamin C daily. Any more than 1500mg can cause diarrhea. Take 10-25mg of zinc per day. Be aware, though, that zinc lozenges and tablets can cause upset stomach or a metallic taste. This regimen is not a cure, but it can stop the virus from spreading and getting worse.

The Company Men to bring unique style of mashup songs to Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Ten years ago, four singers were working various jobs in Los Angeles and contemplating their futures.

CONCERT “We were talking about following our own dreams,” said Daniel Tatar, one of the co-creators of The Company Men. “One conversation led to the next, and almost a year later, the group had their first performance. We were all starting families, so the stakes were high. We committed ourselves to building this group, and it’s thrilling to look back at the growth in the past decade.”

The Company Men will perform at 8 p.m.

Feb. 18 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“As demand for performances grew, we expanded from the four of us to multiple casts,” Tatar said. “This week, you can find The Company Men here at the Palladium and on several cruise ships. There has always been at least one of the original members connected with the group. The heart of the group remains the same, but there is space for each person to infuse their own style and personality.”

The group specializes in mashups of songs from today and different eras.

“There are so many different mashups that the setlist changes depending on the audience and length of the show,” Tatar said. “Whenever I do the show, I listen to the newest Top 40 hits and find new mashups to bring in. Actually, I’ve been working on a new one to debut at the Palladium. I’m sure everyone will recognize it.”

Tatar said many of today’s hits are heavily influenced by Motown.

“When we interweave songs, you can hear similar tempos and complementary note structures throughout,” he said. “But our mashups span various genres over the last eight decades.”

Tatar said choreography plays a major role in the concert experience.

“KINKY BOOTS” “Kinky Boots” runs through March 27 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

“It captures the essence of the original Motown hits and visually represents the mashups between styles,” Tatar said. “We are constantly moving around, switching places, passing solos. All of that has to be carefully choreographed and rehearsed to keep a clean, precise show. From the very beginning, we have been lucky to have the same choreographer who helps tell the stories of each song through movement.”

Tatar said like the mashups, there are a lot of crossover vocal parts between the four singers.

“Depending on the arrangement, I sing baritone and tenor backup parts, but my solos are in the tenor range,” he said.

“Much of it is in the pop/rock genre, like Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’ or Cee Lo Green’s ‘Forget You.’ But I also get to explore the softer, soulful sounds of Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’ or ‘Just My Imagination’ by The Temptations. Lots of variety.”

Tatar said with singing 70 songs in 90 minutes, every moment is enjoyable to

perform.

“A personal favorite is Michael Buble’s ‘Everything,’ where I can really connect with the audience,” he said. “That is something I really appreciate about live performances. Another song I love singing is Katy Perry’s ‘Firework.’ When my daughter was very young, she heard this song on the radio and excitedly yelled, ‘Daddy!

She’s singing your song!’ I still love that.”

The Company Men were supposed to perform for the first time at the Palladium in April 2020, but the show was rescheduled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As a Midwesterner myself, it is great to see communities with a deep appreciation for the arts,” Tatar said. “The (concert) season at the Palladium brings in some amazing and diverse performances from all over the country, and I’m very excited to connect with the audience here.”

Deb Slack, a Carmel artist and one of the three owners of Art On Main, 111 West Main St. in Carmel, offers a few guidelines on how to proceed: • What’s the subject matter? Any pictures/examples?

• Size matters. Do you prefer portrait or landscape? The anticipated location of the painting will drive this.

• Do you have a color palette preferred?

Earth tones, for example, and are we trying to echo any colors in a wallpaper or fabric?

• Budget?

MAPLE BOURBON ICE CREAM

• Style preferred. Realism, Abstract, Modern, Impressionism, etc.

• Does it need framed, or will you manage that? Or a gallery-wrapped canvas?

Deb offers an initial consult, abbreviated rough sample, mid-painting viewing as well as delivery and installation! Randall Scott Harden and Kim Greene are the other gifted owners of the gallery. Stop in and enjoy their work!

Pam Newell, a crazy-talented artist, offers an astute observation. Verify that you dig the artist’s style and that the subject matter is in their wheelhouse. Do they paint it often and enjoy it? Makes sense to me.

Pam’s the real deal.

EMOTION For me, an emotional connection exaggerates the best. It builds connection.

Immediately, the colors and subject matter resonate.

Butler set as soloist in concert

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fittingly, the Indiana Wind Symphony’s upcoming concert is called “Winter Festival: All That Sparkles.” The recent CONCERT winter storm was a factor in adjusting the music lineup.

IWS Music Director Charles Conrad said two rehearsals were canceled because of potential COVID-19 exposure, and then another was canceled because of the Feb. 2 winter storm. So Conrad took out a few pieces and turned the show into a concert without an intermission.

Principal flutist Carl Butler will be the featured soloist when the concert is presented at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Butler will play a piece called “Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso” by the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saens. It will be the second piece performed.

“It’s a piece played by both violinist or flutist,” Conrad said. “It works equally well in both versions.”

The concert will open with “Fanfare for Freedom” by Harry Bulow, a music professor

Tom Roush Mazda

at Purdue University.

The piece IWS took the concert title from is “Sparkle” by Shafer Mahoney.

“It features piano, flutes and clarinets on a really wonderful sparkling melody,” Conrad said.

The next piece is Norman Dello Joio’s ‘Caccia.” Dello Joio died in 2008.

The piece that follows is George Rosenkrans’ “The Illuminator.”

The concert concludes with “Bookmarks from Japan: Symphony No. 4” by Julie Giroux.

Raise a glass to hydronomy Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Road entering Sedona, Ariz. (Photos by Don Knebel)

A visit to scenic Sedona Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in my continuing series on places to go during Indiana winters, we visit Sedona, Ariz., with an average TRAVEL high March temperature of 65 degrees.

About 300 million years ago, geologic forces created unique red sandstone outcroppings in a 4,000-foot-high area, 30 miles south of Flagstaff. In 1902, the United States established a post office in the area and named it Sedona after the postmaster’s wife. For years, Sedona remained a sleepy desert town, used as a scenic backdrop for Western movies. Because of its pleasant temperatures and dramatic settings, vacationers began coming to Sedona in the 1950s. In 1956, Marguerite Staude, a sculptor who owned a ranch near Sedona, designed and supervised the building of the Roman Catholic Chapel of the Holy Cross, dramatically set into the sandstone south of the center of town. In 1980, a Sedona medium claimed that the area around Sedona includes so-called “vortexes” (not “vortices”), claimed to be spots where the earth’s magnetic forces are particularly strong, providing spiritual and physical healing.

Sedona, now with a population of about 10,000, attracts visitors from around the world. Many New Age shops cater to those visiting town to experience its spiritual energy. Multiple tours take visitors to the claimed vortexes, ranging from four to seven depending on the tour. Even people taking the tours who reject the vortex claims find relaxation among the red-orange cliffs and buttes, the colors of which change with the time of day. Sedona is a picturesque day trip from Phoenix and about 100 miles south of the Grand Canyon. Sedona visitors

There’s a ditch in Fishers with a sign displayed in classic road-sign green with familiar white lettering: Shoemaker Ditch.

It’s a humble ditch GRAMMAR GUY that announces itself with all the fanfare of an intrastate highway. Every time I pass the sign, I wonder: Did Mr. or Ms. Shoemaker contribute to the history and development of this area? Or did one of them die a shoddy death in this shallow-depth ditch? The mind races.

Of course, you know what’s coming next. There’s a word for the name of a body of water: a hydronym. Hydronym (Greek for “water name”) is a subset of geographical toponyms (place names).

Hydronomy refers to the naming of any body of water. I’m going to lump ditches and ponds in with rivers, lakes, fjords, seas and oceans.

This got me to wondering: Who gets to name bodies of water? This winding river of research led me to a group called the International Hydrographic Organization, or IHO. The IHO is made up of 97 countries

that agree on standards for surveying and charting bodies of water.

All’s well and good in the IHO until a naming dispute arises. Take the Sea of Japan, for instance. This is the internationally recognized name for the body of water bordered by Japan, North Korea, South Korea and Russia. However, South Korea prefers “East Sea,” while North Korea likes “Korean East Sea.” In 1992, the IHO decided to include “East Sea” as a secondary hydronym for the Sea of Japan. The North Koreans still aren’t happy.

If you need a reason to celebrate on June 21, take the day off to celebrate World Hydrography Day, a day in which you celebrate the importance of hydrography. Of course, the group of folks who get to decide on names of bodies of water (the IHO) also invented this holiday.

should plan on stopping at nearby Jerome, a former copper mining town that was once the fourth-largest city in Arizona. The Douglas family mansion is now a museum, chronicling the time when Jerome was the “wickedest town in the west.”
