Hoosiers 50 and older eligible for COVID vaccines

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Indiana State Dept. of Health announced March 3 that Hoosiers 50 and older are now PANDEMIC eligible to receive a free COVID-19 vaccination.

The state’s decision to open eligibility to more Indiana residents came days before a solemn mileHolcomb stone: On March 6, 2020, the state identified its first confirmed case of COVID-19.

“Yes, we have been through a lot together, and we are going to get out of this together,” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said during a March 3 virtual press briefing. “We are pointed in that direction.”

Through a federal pharmacy program teachers are now eligible to receive vaccinations. They can only register at Kroger, Meijer and Walmart stores. According to the Biden administration, teachers will begin receiving vaccinations by the end of the month.

Due to limited vaccine allotments, Indiana has prioritized health care workers, longterm care residents, first responders and residents with specific comorbidities in its vaccination rollout. Hoosiers 50 and older account for more than 35.3 percent of the state’s population, yet they represent 80 percent of statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations and 97.6 percent of statewide COVID-19 deaths.

To our valued readers: Current remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we will continue our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will

According to the ISDH, residents ages 50 to 59 are 30 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than people 20 to 29 and are four times more likely to be hospitalized.

During a March 3 virtual press conference, state health officials said they plan to continue using an age-based approach and will vaccinate Hoosiers 40 and older incrementally when supply allows. Hoosiers with additional comorbidities not currently eligible also will be part of the next eligible group.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said that vaccine eligibility could be extended to people 40 and older by mid-March, depending on supplies.

Residents 40 to 49 are at a three times higher risk of developing a severe illness compared to Indiana residents ages 20 to 29, according to the ISDH. Indiana residents 40 and older account for 91 percent of Hoosiers with comorbidities and more than 50 percent of teachers.

On March 2, 82,000 Hoosiers ages 55 to 59 scheduled a vaccination appointment, Holcomb said. As of March 3, 70 percent of Hoosiers 80 and older had been vaccinated or were scheduled to get a vaccination. The same is true for 71 percent of Hoosiers ages 70 to 79, 56 percent ages 60 to 69 and 28 percent of ages 55 to 59.

Dr. Lindsay Weaver, the ISDH’s chief medical officer, said Indiana’s initial allotment of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine made mass vaccination sites more feasible in Indiana because the vaccine requires one shot. Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19

It’s starting to appear that we’ll be able to return to weekly circulation at 100

vaccines require two shots. State health officials reported March 3 Indiana would not receive another shipment of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines for at least three weeks.

To schedule a vaccine appointment, visit ourshot.in.gov and select a location from one of nearly 390 clinics across the state.

Hoosiers who do not have a computer or cellphone or those who need assistance scheduling an appointment can call 2-1-1 or contact one of Indiana’s Area Agencies on Aging or AARP. Nearly 70 libraries across the state also are helping Hoosiers schedule appointments.

Vaccination clinics that are part of the federal vaccine program, including those at Meijer and Kroger, appear on the clinic map at ourshot.in.gov but are scheduled through those retailers’ platforms, not through the state’s centralized system.

As of March 3, 1,031,266 individuals had received a first dose of vaccine in Indiana and 608,638 were fully vaccinated. Although residents are being vaccinated at a faster rate due to increased allotments, state officials caution the pandemic is far from over.

“We will also be reminded that pandemics are hard to defeat, that viruses mutate and present many challenges just when we think the worst is behind us, and that even positive trends like those that we have seen in recent weeks don’t signal that we’re out of the woods and that life could return to pre-pandemic normalcy,” Box said.

“But there are a lot of positive trends to celebrate.”

Hamilton County adds commercial court for business-related cases

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After a successful test run elsewhere in Indiana, Hamilton County has added a commercial court to LEGAL SYSTEM handle certain business-related cases more efficiently and predictably for all involved.

Hamilton County’s commercial court launched Jan. 1. All commercial court cases filed in the county are handled by Superior Court Brown 2 Judge Jonathan Brown, who specialized in business litigation before taking the bench in 2017.

“The goal is to have predictable resolutions for business disputes,” Brown said.

“From a business person’s perspective, they want to know how their litigation is going to turn out, and they don’t want to spend a whole lot of time getting there.”

Commercial courts streamline the litigation process by following a template outlined by the Indiana Supreme Court, such as scheduling a case management conference soon after a case is filed, issuing orders to

protect confidential business information and listing commercial court orders in a searchable database. Only certain types of cases are eligible, and plaintiffs and defendants must agree to handling the matter in commercial court for it to be heard there.

Eric Schmadeke, an attorney with Carmel-based Densborn Blachly, litigated several cases in commercial court during the state’s initial rollout beginning in 2017 and advocated for it to expand to Hamilton Schmadeke County.

He said many of his clients prefer commercial court because the structured process leads to cost savings and quicker resolution.

“It makes your worst days in business a little less bad. If a client ends up in a law-

suit, the business and its lawyers want to be in front of a judicial officer who is familiar with the realities of modern commercial operations,” Schmadeke said. “Judges are people too, and like all of us, there is a certain amount of expertise you get with repetition. This allows businesses in Hamilton County to have a forum where there’s going to be a judge that has a deeper understanding of the issues particular to commercial litigation.”

Brown, whose caseload consists mostly of matters outside of commercial court, said he expects the program to continue expanding across the state. Other counties to recently launch commercial courts are Madison, St. Joseph and Vigo. The first commercial courts in Indiana were established in Allen, Elkhart, Vanderburgh, Floyd, Lake and Marion counties.

“Judges are people too, and like all of us, there is a certain amount of expertise you get with repetition. This allows businesses in Hamilton County to have a forum where there’s going to be a judge that has a deeper understanding of the issues particular to commercial litigation.”

– ERIC SCHMADEKE, AN ATTORNEY WITH CARMEL-BASED DENSBORN BLACHLY

WHAT’S ELIGIBLE FOR COMMERCIAL COURT? Only certain types of cases may be considered for Indiana’s commercial court system. Acceptable cases include those related to: • The formation, governance or dissolution of a business • Disputes regarding rights or obligations between or among owners, shareholders, etc.

• Trade secrets/confidential information • Franchise or dealer relationships • Unfair trade practices • False advertising • Cases not eligible for commercial court include: • Consumer claims • Most environmental claims • Personal injury • Most employment law • Federal or state law-based discrimination • Criminal cases • Eminent domain

“The key things people have to be mindful of is the security is all about moving through quickly and efficiently,” Lopez said. “When you have backups with security, that’s a way you see a more difficult situation from the COVID perspective. We want to avoid people bunching up. Assuring they have the right bag size is a big thing. It’s essentially a small purse or clutch.”

Bags go through X-ray machines. All tickets are mobile.

All food is individually packaged and there are no more soda refills. Fans must wear face masks except when eating and drinking, which is only permitted in seats, Lopez said.

Pacers ticket holders follow an email link for health screening before the game.

“We want to encourage fans to open up their emails from us once they purchase tickets,” Lopez said.

BCHD creates immunization will call list for Indiana residents

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept. has created a will call list for Indiana resident 50 and older and for patient-facing PANDEMIC health care workers, first responders and residents with certain comorbidities to receive COVID-19 vaccinations if remaining daily doses allow.

BCHD Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said the list is prioritized by eligibility, age, distance to the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds vaccination clinic, comorbidity status and other considerations.

“Basically, if we know we are going to have a certain amount of vials or even doses that we need to use at the end of the night, we turn to the will call list,” Haughton said.

The purpose of the list is to avoid wasting vaccine doses, according to the BCHD. If remaining doses are available, a BCHD official will contact the next person on the list to ask if they are available for an immediate appointment. The department is not accepting walk-ins.

Indiana residents who want to be added

to the list can contact Haughton at chaughton@co.boone.in.us.

Haughton said the BCHD received approximately 1,300 weekly vaccine allotments in February. She said the weekly allotments are not expected to increase this month.

But she said BCHD officials are confident Johnson & Johnson’s recently FDA-approved vaccine will increase allotments soon.

BCHD officials don’t know when or if shipments of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will arrive at the department’s vaccination clinic at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds.

Haughton said the department would likely know more when state officials receive first allotments from the federal government of the new vaccine.

Haughton said the Johnson & Johnson vaccine could provide those who are afraid of needles and medical settings a chance to receive a one-shot vaccine. Vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech require two shots and are given at least 28 and 21 days apart, respectively.

“We do know it’s really, really effective at preventing serious COVID infection and also hospitalization and death, which is definitely one of our priority areas,” Haughton said of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville recently received a $10,000 grant from the Crosser Family Foundation, DONATION a fund of the Hamilton County Community Foundation, in support of its Smart Moves programs in 2021.

The grant will assist in providing a suite of programs, called Smart Moves, to club members that are designed to help develop healthy decision-making skills and positive attitudes. The programs are designed to enable participants to build a personal toolbox for self-management and coping. Strategies incorporate youth voice and choice, as well as opportunities to learn and practice key social/emotional skills young people need

to make healthy choices about substance use, sexual activity, violence and other risky behaviors.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the emotional and social well-being of the Club’s youth,” BGCN Executive Director Becky Terry stated. “The lack of social setting opportunities over the past 11 months took its toll on our club kids and youth across the globe. Many club members self-reported and verbalized to staff how the lack of interaction with their friends and peers negatively affected their mood, outlook and drive. “ The Crosser Family Foundation was established in 2001 by Janet R. Crosser and the late Richard H. Crosser. The foundation’s goal is to continue, celebrate and inspire philanthropy in the community.

COVER STORY

The Noblesville Schools Community Center opened in late February.

Noblesville Schools opens first community center in the area

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools Associate Supt. Dave Mundy said that when the district scouted the area for a community center it could model its vision on, it couldn’t find one.

So, the district formed a team of 20 people to create its own concept and plan a new building.

Three years later, the concept is now reality. The new Noblesville Schools Community Center opened late February.

“We think it’s very unique,” Mundy said.

“We looked around trying to find something to model this after and weren’t successful. We wanted it to be used as much as possible, and so we put together a facility that will be used very frequently. It’s not something we want to build and have sitting around. Everything in that building has multiple uses.”

Besides offering space for the community to reserve, the new community center also will house Millers Success Academy and the Limitless program.

Millers Success Academy is Noblesville High School’s new alternative education program, designed to provide an engaging learning environment with individualized instruction and support for students who need an alternative to the traditional classroom. It is geared to help all learners earn an NHS diploma and keep young adults in Noblesville as productive, compassionate members of the community.

The Limitless program is an initiative of the Hamilton Boone Madison County Coop to provide ongoing education to young

The building has a maximum capacity of 500 people and also allows for tables and chairs to be set up to accommodate dinners or receptions.

The project’s $6 million price won’t raise the local tax rate.

“Due to the fact we have been as fiscally prudent as possible, we were able to get a bond and all the financing was done through that, and it had zero impact on our tax rate,” Mundy said.

PLANNING THE SPACE

The Noblesville Schools Community Center has 7,500 square feet of open-room space for the community, a kitchen and 15,000-square-foot of total space.

adults with special needs.

The community center has a kitchen and a 7,500-square-foot multi-use space. There are several offices for the program directors of Limitless and Millers Success Academy.

The entire building is 15,000 square feet with two classrooms.

“The community center is something we noticed a couple years ago that Noblesville is missing,” Mundy said. “We constantly have people calling us and wanting to use different facilities for different meetings, especially bigger meetings. We thought this would be a great opportunity to provide items needed for the school and help the

community to get a building put together to be used by the community.”

Each year, the community schedules 14,000 hours of programming in the district’s facilities.

The space also will serve the district and some of its growing athletics programs, such as dance and cheerleading.

Mundy said the space could be used as a practice facility when not being used by the community or for the other programs.

“Our dance program has grown exponentially the last couple years and is really succeeding, so it’s a nice place for them to practice,” Mundy said.

Noblesville Schools Associate Supt.

Dave Mundy said every piece of the new community center was constructed for a purpose, including the strategically placed parking lot with 125 new parking spaces.

“The parking at the community center can be used as additional parking for the new (high school) stadium (opening in 2022),” Mundy said. “We also designed that parking lot to assist in staging for our buses in high school pick-up and drop-off. We made specific designs with that in mind.”

The community center is on Field Drive between Noblesville High School and Noblesville East Middle School. A pathway from the center leads directly to the district’s new stadium.

Winning gambits

Conservative: Trump is no man of character

Commentary by Terry Anker The warning signs are there. One cannot deny it. Still, we hold out confidence on the off-hand chance that the indications are false. What else do we have?

Hope is the last resort, right? We’ve all been confronted with an approaching inevitability and stood frozen, contemplating that which is about to happen.

Life is going to change. A seemingly irreversible event will soon occur. But just as certainly, we’ve all been blessed with the invariable and then escaped its noose. Somehow, the certainty didn’t happen.

So, as we go through this all-tooshort life of ours, can we hang on to an optimism that will help us persevere, if not wholly overcome, overwhelming odds and yet not become the chump eager to overlook the highly likely, if not already impending, doom that awaits?

As we mature, life teaches myriad lessons. We learn that those who play with fire often get burned. We learn that our teens years, for most of us, anyway, are not the optimal time to start a single-parent household. We learn that the credit card companies, like gambling establishments, are really not looking out for our investment futures!

But some of us do manage to light a match without getting torched. In fact, the sulfur-tipped little sticks can be very handy tools. Another exception to the rule is wagering. Against stacked odds.

Someone wins the lottery. Someone wins the college basketball game. Someone wins roulette. At the very least, we imagine that someone must win.

As the passing years transform us from hopeful and naïve youth into something that looks like a seasoned decision-maker, how do we avoid cynicism?

If too much distrust leaves us alone, does too little make us a fool?

A well-timed epiphany Commentary by Danielle Wilson Last weekend, I was super excited to ship my goddaughter her first Communion gift.

It’s a rather obnoxious holoHUMOR gram of Christ and two lambs in an ornate gilded frame that my family sends around to whichever household is celebrating a sacrament. But as I was hauling it to the van, I realized I’d left my purse sitting on the kitchen table.

So, I set it on the driver’s seat and ran back inside. Upon my return, I saw “Him” sitting there. Oh, my god! Jesus was literally behind the wheel! Well played, hologram. Well.

Played.

I most certainly have been caught up lately worrying about stuff that is absolutely outside my control, such as unhappy college kids, a challenging school environment, scheduling my father’s memorial service, to name a few. But the fact is, we are still living in a pandemic, and there is not a darn tootin’ thing I can do to change that.

My co-eds are not having the time of their lives, and one is downright miserable.

Tough stuff, my darlings. I can offer advice and, if necessary, a hug, but you’ll need to forge your own path here. As for my admittedly sucky teaching right now, I must acknowledge that I am doing the best that I can while juggling in-person and remote learners simultaneously on an alternating block schedule, and that it will have to be good enough. And though I desperately need closure with Dad’s passing, it simply isn’t safe or responsible to hold the kind of funeral he wanted.

So, Jesus, I’m handing my worries to you.

Take the wheel!

Peace out.

Editor, I’m a Reagan conservative and I told a GOP congressman at a county fair in Indiana in 2016 that Donald Trump would destroy the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Trump, the ultimate RINO, is the first one-term president since Hoover to lose the White House, Senate and House for his party. This is just the tip of the iceberg of his damage to the nation and party — past, present and future. Although he did some good things, conservatives need to realize that he is neither a conservative nor a Republican and is not a man of character. I hope that a Reagan-esque candidate is our nominee in 2024.

Commentary by Heidi Newman This article was not written by Dick Wolfsie. It was written about Dick Wolfsie. He was having trouble HUMOR coming up with something to write about this week after being housebound for a year. Humor is based on life, and he apparently hasn’t had much of one lately.

It’s hard to know whether he’s really tried to come up with a topic. Maybe he’s been busy compulsively popping bubble wrap and binge-watching VHS tapes of his old TV segments. I volunteered to be a guest columnist this week so he wouldn’t miss his deadline.

I’ve been Dick’s copy editor for 20 years, scrutinizing more than 1,000 humor columns. I’ve removed the typos from his stories before the newspaper editor sees what a lousy speller he is.

I’ve also worked with Dick on 13 of his 14 books. We have a mutual appreciation for clear, concise language and a welltimed and snappy punch line.

I’m taking this opportunity to share what that relationship has been like, since readers might not know what happens behind the scenes.

Dick is a former high school English teacher and I’m a grammar nerd. He and I can spend 20 minutes debating a single sentence’s best wording. We dissect and reconstruct whole paragraphs in order to fine-tune the comedic timing. If Dick and I worked with each other in person instead of over the phone, we’d have to wear helmets. That’s how often we butt heads.

By the way, I am not a writer and I’m not creative. I don’t come up with any of Dick’s clever lines. I don’t even try. My job is to ensure his wit comes through to you. If you ever thought something he wrote wasn’t funny, you can blame me.

When we’re working, I’ll often hear his wife Mary Ellen holler downstairs to Dick to ask who he’s arguing with. He yells

back, “Heidi,” which lets Mary Ellen know she has time to go finish the last half of the book she’s reading or to watch a couple of old episodes of “The Big Valley.”

Dick often pokes fun at his wife in his stories. Readers comment to her all the time what a saint she must be to put up with that. What about me? I get no sympathy and I’m the one fighting with him.

We disagree on a lot of things, like any two people might, but I always convince him he won the debate. Here’s some free advice from writers and copy editors: Don’t ever let your spouse edit your text. Not if you still want a spouse.

I hope you enjoyed this column and that you didn’t find any spelling mistakes, grammatical errors or editing issues. I don’t have a proofreader, and I sure wasn’t going to let Dick mess with it.

Foods to eat (and to avoid) for your healthiest feet Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan March is National Nutrition Month — a great time to eat foods that support foot health. When it comes to PODIATRY diet, some choices will reduce your risk for foot pain and injury.

Foods that support foot health • Vitamin D and calcium: Foods with calcium support bone health and growth while you’re young. Then, as you age,

calcium-rich food can prevent osteoporosis and lower the risk for injuries like hairline foot fractures. Choose dairy products like cheese or milk, leafy greens such as spinach or broccoli or even sardines. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. For vitamin D, it’s probably best to add a daily supplement because it’s hard to meet the minimum daily requirements.

• Vitamin C: Many foot problems, including tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, develop

Don’t wait

because of inflammation. Vitamin C can help fight that inflammation. Foods rich in this helpful vitamin include oranges, kiwis, strawberries, tomatoes and kale.

• Vitamin B: Neuropathy takes a toll on foot health. Neuropathy can be prevented by supporting good nerve health with vitamin B, including foods like tuna, cottage cheese, salmon, eggs and sardines.

Foods that hurt your feet Steer clear of foods that cause inflammation, including red meats, trans fat-filled

ingredients such as shortening or foods full of refined sugars. Purine-rich foods such as organ meat should also be avoided since these can trigger gout attacks.

A board-certified foot surgeon and wound specialist, Dr. David Sullivan is the owner of Westfield Foot and Ankle, LLC. Contact him at drs@westfieldfoot.com.

Get the surgical care your child needs Your child’s surgery is important and shouldn’t be delayed. Putting off care could make their condition worse. We know you may have concerns about coming into a hospital or doctor’s office at this time.

Our caregivers are fully prepared to care for your child, with strict precautions in place for your child’s safety — and the safety of your family — while in our care.

Some of the extra steps to help keep your child safe before, during and after surgery: • COVID-19 testing for your child • Online check-in for day of surgery • Following CDC guidelines • Virtual connections with friends and family to keep loved ones updated with your child’s progress • Review of post-op information for your child’s recovery and instructions for going home • Virtual options for follow-up care

Bien Mexicana to operate in Fishers Test Kitchen through March

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Angela Garcia has always had a skill for preparing Mexican food, so when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020 and she couldn’t work, she decided to RESTAURANT make and sell tamales to her neighbors.

One year later, Garcia now owns Bien Mexicana, a Mexican restaurant in the Fishers Test Kitchen, 9713 District N. Dr., and the Noblesville American Legion, 1094 Conner St. “We had 20 orders within the hour,” Garcia said of her

first effort to sell tamales. “It started to go crazy from there, and I knew we had to get out of the house, so we rented the Legion in Noblesville in June.”

Garcia and her husband, Carlos, who live in Noblesville, also bought a cargo trailer and converted it into a food truck. They started visiting neighborhoods in June. The Garcias cooked at the Legion and then sold from the food truck three to four days a week before the weather became too cold to sell from the truck. So, they offered carry-out from the Legion. They also leased a temporary space at Fishers Test Kitchen in February, but sales were so good that they will operate in the space through the end of the month.

Now, Garcia is one of the restaurants being considered for a long-term space in the Fishers Test Kitchen.

“There was always the idea for a food truck or a restaurant or something but there were no steps made toward that until it was absolutely necessary,” Garcia said. “When everything got taken away, I thought, ‘Well, I know how to cook.’ I loved the idea of a food truck.”

Bien Mexicana is open in the Fishers Test Kitchen from 4 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays. Garcia also sells at the Noblesville American Legion, and those dates are listed on Bien Mexicana’s Facebook page.

Guest violinist DePue will make long-awaited Carmel Symphony Orchestra debut

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Nearly a year to the day that violinist Zachary DePue was scheduled to make his Carmel Symphony OrchesCONCERT tra debut, he will finally take the stage.

During rehearsals, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and the March 14, 2020, concert was one of many canceled.

So, DePue will be a guest artist when CSO performs at 7:30 p.m. March 13 at the Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. A live audience of more than 400 will be permitted, allowing for social distancing among the 1,600 seats. A livestream also will be available.

DePue, an Indianapolis resident known for his high-energy performance, is well known to central Indiana audiences, having served 11 seasons as concertmaster with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

He also is a founding member of the ISO’s first ensemble-in-residence, the international sensation Time for Three, with whom he performed for 15 years. Since leaving the ISO in 2018, he has been a guest concertmaster and performer.

“Just everything you can imagine until the pandemic hit. Now, I’m just a grocery shopper,” said DePue, somewhat jokingly.

“I was able to perform with my Indianapolis Quartet (Feb. 21), a string quartet. It was actually one of the first live audiences I played in front of for a year.”

DePue will be the featured soloist on Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” in the concert.

“I love playing it,” DePue said. “I’ve done it several times with the Indianapolis Symphony. I’ve done it in many different scenarios.

It’s a very famous war horse of classical music. There are so many recognizable melodies and material in ‘The Four Seasons.’

Familiarity helps. Especially in these times as people start coming back to the concert hall, there is something they recognize.

“I’ve heard from a lot of people who have supported me through the years that

are excited to hear me do my thing again in this setting.”

CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes said “The Four Seasons” is the ideal vehicle to showcase DePue’s versatility and musical enthusiasm.

“Zach is such an incredibly gifted musician,” Hymes said. “He’s a natural talent.

I’m over the moon he’s going to be a soloist for us.”

Hymes said “The Four Seasons” has been featured in more than 100 movies and TV shows, and she can’t think of a program that would be better for bringing the orchestra back.

“It’s incredibly beautiful and well written,” she said.

Hymes said 32 members of the orchestra will be performing to allow for social distancing. The last time that many orchestra members could play together was November 2020, since the December livestream had to be limited.

“I’m excited and optimistic about the future and the fact we can have live per-

formances again,” Hymes said. “We’ll still wear our masks and be careful, but the fact we can bring back our orchestra to the Palladium, we are very relieved and excited.”

Eight dancers from Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will perform during the “Winter” concerto, the movement of the Vivaldi piece.

“I saw their choreography and they are enchanting, and they are terrific,” Hymes said. “We love to collaborate.”

The second part of the concert will include Franz Schubert’s “Symphony No. 5 D. 485 in B-flat Major.”

“He wrote it when was 19 and he was in a very (Wolfgang Amadeus) Mozart mode,” Hymes said. “He was reveling in the genius of Mozart. This is a piece that sounds like Mozart with a twist. That year when he was 19, he wrote 200 pieces, and this is one of them. It’s very ebullient and upbeat.

This shows the whole orchestra because Vivaldi is only for strings.”

Dugan to perform at The Cat editorial@youarecurrent.com Like most performers, Carmel comedian Dave Dugan has had some long layoffs during the last year because of the COVID-19 gathering restrictions that began in mid-March 2020.

“You’d think after doing something for over half your life, getting back at it would be like riding a bike,” Dugan Dugan said. “I felt pretty rusty, but the positivity of getting back in front of a live audience made it relatively easy to get back with the flow. Plus, some of the material I had been doing for a while that I was sick of all of a sudden seemed fresh again.”

By mid-November 2020, restrictions and shutdowns returned, so there was another three months of canceled performances, Dugan said.

He finally returned to the stage in February. Now he is set for performances at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, in Carmel at 7:30 p.m. March 12-13.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14636 Greyhound Plaza, Carmel.

What to get: Roasted prime rib Price: $30 Anna’s take: Charleston’s is a long-standing restaurant off 146th Street in Carmel, and the best thing about it (besides the delicious menu items) is consistency.

Charleston’s has consistently offered high-quality meals for several years. When you visit, you know you will receive great

service and great eats. My favorite item was roasted prime rib. I know that sounds like a simple dish, but Charleston’s really makes it incredible. It’s so tender you can cut it with a butter knife. Also be sure to try the famous baked potato soup ($6), the shrimp cargot ($14) and the original chicken tender platter ($17). Charleston’s has several delicious salads for those seeking healthier options, such as the Walt’s Champagne Chicken Salad, which includes fruits and vegetables. For an excellent finish, order Adam’s cheesecake ($9), a beautifully light and fluffy take on cheesecake made in-house.

Couet joins Art on Main as emerging artist

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Marcie Couet’s colorful abstract paintings are her specialty and passion.

“With intuitive abstracts, PAINTINGS you start with a direction but no particular destination in mind,” Couet said.

“So, when the painting starts coming together, there’s a moment of awe.

Experiencing that unexpected outcome is powerful. It’s definitely a part of Couet the passion.”

The Franklin resident recently joined Carmel’s Art on Main, 111 W. Main St., as an emerging artist on a permanent basis.

“I’m convinced that galleries, interior designers and other commercial firms are valuable partners in the art business,” Couet said. “The gallery owners are perceiving a demand for bold abstracts, and I’m hoping to connect with buyers who have their heart set on a large, original abstract to transform their space.”

Art on Main’s March exhibit, which includes the “Meet Me on Main” event from 5 to 9 p.m. March 13, is focused on emerging artists.

For the exhibit, Couet decided to share one large abstract and a few mini paintings.

“I’ve been gravitating towards creating either very large or very small paintings,” she said. “I’ve got some cool mini abstracts that feel like jewels to me, small but exquisite, something you want to collect and display together. Over the next few months, I plan to have several sets to share.”

Couet’s background includes writing, video production and photography.

“I’ve spent years producing creative products that rely on composition, from brochures to web pages to videos,” Couet said. “So, when I started painting, composition was one area in which I was already experienced. Painting is wildly, cognitively challenging, so having that under my belt has been helpful.”

Lisa Pelo, a blown and fused glass artist from Clayton, will join Art on Main as a permanent artist as well.

Huckleberry Funk brings high-energy show

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Defining Huckleberry Funk’s sound isn’t easy. Vocalist Dexter Clardy simply calls it “gritty R&B.” LIVESTREAM But really, there is nothing simple about the group’s high-powered blend of genres, ranging from rock to funk to hip hop and just about everything in between.

“Our music style over the years has grown significantly into what we like to call now ‘gritty R&B,’” Clardy said. “Merging all our inspirations into one sound can be a bit overwhelming sonically, at times, but as the years have gone by, we’ve zeroed in on a very high-energy, raw but clean and tight sound that we hope our listeners really feel.”

Local listeners can get a high-powered feel for Huckleberry Funk when it performs a free livestream concert at 7:30 p.m. March 16 at the Palladium in Carmel as part of The Center for the Performing Arts’ “Live at the Center” series. The Indianapolis-based band, originally formed in Bloomington by Byron Boler (drums), Alex

Huckleberry Funk members are, from left, Elias McDermott-Sipe, Byron Boler, Dexter Clardy, Alex Dura and Matthew McConahay. (Submitted photo)

Dura (keyboards/saxophone), Matthew McConahay (bass guitar), Elias McDermott-Sipe (guitar) and Clardy, has developed a following throughout the Midwest and has played venues in New York City, New Orleans and Philadelphia as well as in Indianapolis and Bloomington.

The well-traveled band is making its Carmel debut.

“We actually have never performed at the Palladium before, but being an Indianapolis native, I’ve always had it on my

list of stages I’d love to sing on one day,” Clardy said. “Definitely would be an even cooler experience with a sold-out crowd to perform for, but I know the livestream will feel just as surreal.”

Huckleberry Funk derives its unique sound from the diverse blend of musical backgrounds of its five members, four of whom attended Indiana University together.

• The island is doubled in size, providing ample seating and storage.

• A boldly patterned quartz features prominently on the stovetop backsplash and is repeated on the island.

• The adjacent butler’s pantry was updated with the stained cabinetry and offers increased storage.

• The new finishes blend beautifully with the existing oak floors.

Bronze statues in Havana, Cuba. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Modern statues in Old Havana Commentary by Don Knebel Statues recently placed on two historic Old Havana squares reflect a modern attitude in a nation not known for TRAVEL its openness.

The Plaza de San Francisco was built in the 16th century just west of the Port of Havana. Named after a Franciscan convent on the site, the square originally housed a market and later became notorious for its gambling activities, including cockfights. Today, Havana’s cruise ship terminal lies at the eastern edge of the square. As more visitors began arriving in the area, the government undertook efforts to give the square a less austere look.

On May 25, 2012, the city dedicated a statue titled “La Conversacion,” or “The Conversation,” created by a French sculptor and donated to Cuba by the French ambassador. The elegant bronze sculpture, atop a marble plinth, portrays two people engaged in conversation, with large portions of their bodies missing. The artist’s apparent intent was to illustrate the frequent need for people who talk with each other to fill in the

blanks in their expressed words.

Less clear is the meaning of another bronze sculpture, erected in 2012 in Plaza Vieja, a square just south of Plaza de San Francisco that became the site of the harbor market when the Franciscan monks objected to the noise of the market on their square. The sculpture, called “Viaje Fantástico” (Fantastic Voyage), depicts a voluptuous bald woman, nude but for her spike heels, sitting astride a rooster and resting an enormous metal fork on her right shoulder. The sculptor, a Cuban artist, has never revealed the meaning of his work. However, some Old Havana guides speculate that the evocative statue pays homage to the prostitutes who have long worked in the area, relying on their bodies for their next meal. So popular is this interpretation that the sculpture is often called the “Prostitution Statue.”

The closest thing to an *NSYNC lyric you’re going to get today is in this article.

It might sound crazy, but it isn’t a lie; today we’re reviewing GRAMMAR GUY the words “buy,” “bye” and “by.”

As much as I wanted to quote the chorus of *NSYNC’s turn-of-the-millennium chart-topper “Bye Bye Bye” word-for-word, I have some serious grammatical grumbles with the song’s subpar syntax.

The words “buy,” “bye” and “by” are easy to switch around, especially because they only require a few letters and they’re pronounced identically. It’s kind of like trying to distinguish the boy bands from the late ’90s and early aughts from each other — they all sound the same.

The primary definition of the word “buy” is to purchase something with money: Pat, I’d like to buy a vowel. If something is considered a bargain, someone might say it’s a “good buy.” Another definition of “buy” is to believe or accept something: Byron doesn’t buy the fact that the Apollo 11 crew landed on the moon.

The word “bye” has its own set of definitions. The primary definition of “bye” comes from the word “goodbye,” which is a compound word combining the words “good” and “bye.” The word “goodbye” originated

as the contraction “Godbwye,” which was a shortened form of “God be with ye.” Today, we just say “bye,” but the word’s roots lie in the pious society of 16th-century England. “Bye” also can mean when a player or team advances to the next round of a competition without playing.

“By” may be the most versatile of this word trio. As a preposition, “by” means “near,” “toward,” “no later than” or to indicate the person who created a work, just to name a few. As an adverb, “by” can mean “past,” “near” or “aside.” “By” also can function as an adjective, meaning “being off the main route.” By golly, the word “by” can get by in just about any sentence!

By now, there are even a few more homophones for “buy,” “bye” and “by.”

The word “bi” stands alone in the dictionary as an abbreviated way to describe someone who is bisexual. Finally, you can travel to the tiny Swedish town of “Bie,” although it may be pronounced like “bee.”

Now that we’ve said all our “byes,” it’s time to standby until the next installment of Grammar Guy.

The purpose of the project is to provide a 20% volume reduction of S.R. 32 downtown Noblesville traffic. The east-west corridor will connect S.R. 37 to S.R. 32 across the White River.
