Noblesville council approves resolution for regional development authority, Bridge of Flowers funds and traffic changes

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council met April 12. It approved a resolution for a regional development authority, funds for Bridge of Flowers and traffic changes, among other items. For more, visit cityofnoblesville.org.

What happened: The council unanimously approved a resolution adopting a preliminary strategic economic development plan for the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority.

What it means: Mayor Chris Jensen presented the proposal. He said in 2018, legislation was enacted that allowed Indianapolis and Carmel to form a regional development authority when the Red Line transit system launched. The new RDA will replace that and include all communities involved in the White River READI Grant initiative, such as Noblesville, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Indianapolis, Anderson, McCordsville and Zionsville. Jensen said the RDA will allow cities and counties and private and public sectors in central Indiana to have a unified vision and compete with regions across the nation. “It will foster collaboration, cooperation and allow us to speak with one voice,” Jensen said. “It will align the public sector on key issues to drive key initiatives.”

Jensen said Fishers, Carmel, Westfield and Indianapolis city councils would vote on similar resolutions at council meetings in May.

Tom Roush Mazda

What happened: The council unanimously approved an appropriation for $362,00 from the downtown development for enhancements to Logan Street Bridge for the Bridge of Flowers project.

What it means: The council already approved the other funding portion of the project. For this portion, the council’s intent is for Hamilton County to reimburse the city for the costs.

What happened: The council unanimously approved a proposed financing lease for Innovation Mile.

What it means: Several items were included in the ordinance, such as reducing the speed limit on Allisonville Road between Wellington Parkway and Christian Avenue from 50 mph to 30 mph and establishing no left turn for westbound traffic at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Eighth Street What happened: The council unanimously approved a resolution approving an economic development agreement for Innovation Mile.

What it means: The financing allows the issuance of $7 million for a developer-backed bond for Innovation Mile, a 1-mile, master-planned business district along 141st Street between Olio Road and Prairie Baptist Road. The development will encompass 200 acres and include commercial space for innovative companies.

Family owned since 1972

What happened: The council unanimously approved an ordinance amending the traffic schedule.

What it means: The resolution allows for development of two medical technology companies in Innovation Mile southeast of 141st Street and Olio Road. The companies are Certus Medical and Radiological Care Services. They will relocate to a 90,000-square-foot building within Innovation Mile with a $12.7 million investment. More than 80 full-time jobs are expected to be created with an average yearly salary of $72,000.

Mt. Vernon senior guard achieves dream of being Indiana All-Star

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Since he was little, Amhad Jarrard wanted to be an Indiana All-Star.

“It was a dream come true for me,” Amhad said of being named to the Indiana Boys All-Star team. “It was a goal throughout high school.”

Indiana will play Kentucky in the annual series June 10 at Owensboro, Ky., and June 11 at Southport High School in Indianapolis.

Amhad averaged 14.6 points on 63 percent shooting, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals last season. His twin brother, Armon, averaged a team-high 16.3 points on 57 percent shooting, including 49 percent from 3-point range. Amhad typically plays shooting guard and 6-foot-3 Armon plays point guard. The brothers, who were threeyear starters, are headed to play together at IUPUI. “The biggest improvement I made was getting my teammates involved and being more of a leader and being able to score when I had for the team,” Amhad said.

“Overall, my confidence went up. Coach

Favorite athlete: LeBron James Favorite subject: Math Favorite movie: “He Got Game” and “Poetic Justice” College plans: Major in finance at IUPUI (Ben) Rhoades kept telling me to keep going, get everyone involved and do you.”

Amhad made 71 percent of his two-point shots.

“That’s almost unheard of,” Rhoades said.

“Amhad is very athletic. He’s probably one of the four or five best dunkers in the state.

It’s hard to quantify all the things he’s done for us over the last three years. He always could have scored more points, but I’d say this about he and his brother, they really wanted to win.

“They’re kind of a coach’s dream in that they are calm. You almost want them to

have a little more fire at times.”

Mt. Vernon finished 22-3 this season, winning its second consecutive sectional title.

“We played together as a team and came together to get big wins in a lot of close games,” Amhad said.

Rhoades said the Marauders wouldn’t have won 39 games the past two seasons without the brothers’ contributions.

“They’re so versatile you can use them anywhere you want to,” Rhoades said.

“They’re a problem for other teams guarding (them).”

Amhad said he and his brother support each other.

“We push each other a lot,” Amhad said.

“When I see he’s not doing good in games, I say, ‘You got to get something going.’”

Amhad said they were prepared to play at different colleges.

“We thought we were going to go separate ways,” Amhad said.

But when IUPUI offered scholarships to both, they decided to continue playing together.

“I want to improve my catch-and-shoot, my pull-up jump shot and make it more efficient,” Amhad said.

Enjoying retirement after back surgery Patient describes life after surgery at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital George Frampton recalls when his back pain started affecting his everyday life. He said he would often walk around with his co-workers during lunch but struggled to keep up. And at his daughter’s wedding, he said he had trouble standing while his family posed for photos.

“I was very debilitated,” said George. “Over time, I was working and walking stooped over. I felt like I was becoming a spectacle.”

At his doctor’s recommendation, and with much thought by himself and his wife, Chris, George underwent spinal reconstruction surgery at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital. George said he was extremely pleased with the personalized care he received.

George said he is now able to stand upright and is enjoying retirement with his wife.

“My wife and I drove to Florida, and I was able to do a lot of things that I probably could never have done before the surgery,” said George.

“When patients have gotten to the point where nothing else is cutting it, including injections, physical therapy and bracing, it may be the right time to have a discussion with your doctor about surgery,” said John DePowell, MD, a neurosurgeon specializing in the treatment of complex spinal disorders.

If you are experiencing back or neck pain that prevents you from doing the things you enjoy, now is the time to have a discussion with your doctor.

Neurosurgeons at Ascension St. Vincent offer a range of spine surgery options — from minimally invasive to more advanced. Take the next step to living with less pain.

“The nurses and doctors interacted so well with both me and my wife, and included her in all conversations.”

Blatchley Nature Study Club celebrates 100 years

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com For the past 100 years, Blatchley Nature Study Club has perhaps been one of the best-kept secrets in Noblesville. At least, that’s the opinion of club president Rick Towle.

Blatchley Nature Study Club was started in 1922 by Dr. Earl Brooks as a social club with nature components and has since grown to more than 100 members, who meet at a clubhouse nestled off a winding road in northern Noblesville, where a 15-acre private nature sanctuary is an oasis of calm in a city that’s quickly growing.

The nature area features 2 miles of trails, wildlife like fox, owls, salamanders and pileated woodpeckers, more than 40 species of wildflowers and more than 25 species of trees.

“I think with the 100-year scenario, that puts us in a class by ourselves in terms of a nature organization,” Towle said. “As far as I know, there’s nothing else like it.”

When the club was founded, it was called the Hamilton County Nature Study Club.

Members met twice a month. The first meeting involved a nature-related presentation and the second meeting was for social reasons and often was held at people’s homes.

The clubhouse was built in 1965.

One hundred years after its start, the club has combined the presentation and social components into one monthly meeting.

There are various special events, such as hiking, wildflower walks and membership drives.

“We have some of the best wildflower diversity in the state of Indiana,” Towle said.

“They’re all slowly starting to pop.”

Presentations have been given by staff from the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources and organizations equipped in rehabbing wildlife, among others. Hamilton County Supt. of Natural Resources and Education Amanda Smith recently presented on facts and myths about nature.

“It tackled some of the more widely known or thought of myths about nature,” she said. “Like owls can turn their heads all the way around or baby birds will be abandoned if you touch them because the parents smell you on them, those types of myths.”

ant event these days to understand about the earth and the area around us,” Towle said. “We see development everywhere.

This is becoming the island in the middle of mass development in the county. It’s a nice place for anyone who wants to come out.”

Notable members have included Eli Lilly, the grandson of the founder of Eli Lilly & Co.; Indiana State Forester Charles Deam; American landscape painter Frank V. Dudley; and conservationist Richard Lieber, founder of the Indiana state parks system. Most current members reside in Hamilton County but membership is spread across the state.

For more, visit the Blatchley Nature Study Club on Facebook.

There is a variety of wildlife at the club sanctuary.

Smith said the club does an excellent job of preserving collections by important figures in nature, such as Brooks and Willis Blatchley, whom the club is named for. Blatchley was a renowned Indiana naturalist.

“The club itself is amazing,” Smith said.

“I’ve joked that it’s like the Knights Templar of nature in Hamilton County. I don’t know of its equal, either. There are Audubon (groups) and different societies, but this being a private little group of people, I know they’ve done a lot to preserve those collections.”

Smith said from a parks department perspective, she is grateful for the club’s sanctuary.

“It’s right along the White River across the river from Potter’s Bridge (Park), and it provides an added layer of habitat protection,” she said.

Club meetings are at 7 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month at the clubhouse, 125 Boulder Dr. Annual membership dues are $35. The fee includes full use of the private grounds, which aren’t open to the public.

However, guests are welcome if accompanied by a club member.

“Members can just enjoy what’s out here,” Towle said.

Towle, who has been a member since 2005, said the club works diligently to maintain the trails make improvements. The trails follow the White River and Fox Prairie Creek.

The club has seen a surge in membership since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It was one of those places you could get out to and be outdoors and still socialize within reason,” Towle said. “We didn’t have meetings, but people could come out and do hikes and get away from it a little bit.”

Members range from grade-school students to people in their mid-70s.

“It’s a leisure time sort of thing,” Towle said. “It’s a nice place to get away from it all without having to go to Brown County or Turkey Run (state parks).”

Several events are planned this year to celebrate the club’s 100th birthday.

“We want to make sure people understand what we do, and it is a really import-

ESSAY

HUMOR

Pandemic’s fault?

Not sure I had fun

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

“Children as young as 8 should be screened for anxiety,” so says the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Claiming that the pandemic has exacerbated an already expanding problem among young people, the Wall Street Journal, reporting on the development, draws several connections to COVID-19 restrictions, and intuition may suggest that there is a correlation. But the data is still being accumulated to fully explain the increases in mental debilitation among youngsters, including significant increases in suicides. The Task Force cited 78 studies but still held insufficient evidence to draw broader conclusions or warnings for younger children.

To be sure, the pandemic has caried with it any number of long-term effects on our nation. The financial impact of our actions and those of our government are only now playing out. Isolation and restricted movement likewise are still being measured. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 44 percent of high school students now experience persistent feelings of “sadness or hopelessness” and relates the high numbers to family deaths or loss of routine during the lockdowns.

Still, if we are considering the whole child, shouldn’t our assessment look at the larger social context of these changes? Do we consider what the 8-year-old hears from the back seat when we call our ex (their daddy or mommy) a loser, their schoolteacher some “ist,” police officers evil, our nation’s founders toxic and God dead? For most adults, such speech would generate anxiety and despair. Is it possible that our lack of general civil constraint has proven itself to be more virulent to our children than this recent disease?

Greetings, readers. I’ve just returned from a spring break trip that I’m not exactly sure was worth it. There were definite moments of relaxation, but there were also times when I wanted to shout profanities at unsuspecting elderly women. Let’s assess.

On the plus side, the vacation was super cheap. I escorted two nieces to Florida, so their mom paid for my airline ticket — and I stayed free with my amazing in-laws in their snowbird condo. Also on a positive note was my selection of reading and viewing material. I finished “Bridgerton,” the first novel, before plunging right into Season 2 of the show, making for excellent poolside entertainment, and then filled my evenings with Netflix’s “Formula 1 Drive to Survive,” with which I am inexplicably obsessed (box, box, box!)

But for much of my week I was parenting, despite not having any of my four children along. Our youngest daughter, who was in Mexico, suffered a mild concussion, and I endured several sleepless nights imagining her slipping into a coma, dying amid tropical strangers (worst-case scenarios are very real at 3 a.m.). Additionally, the journey home was absolutely horrendous, exorcising most of my newly restored energy.

Literal tornados in Tampa delayed my flight five hours, causing me to miss every possible Midwest connection in Charlotte and rage at old biddies trying to cut the customer service line. My sister-in-law, who had rented a car as soon as the first sirens sounded, ended up detouring from her Interstate 75 North route to grab me. We spent the whole of the next day driving back, utterly exhausted.

Was it worth it? I simply don’t know.

Peace out.

READERS’ VIEWS

Vote Mark Hall for Hamilton County Council Editor, I am honored to have dozens of endorsements from local elected officials, business owners, servers, chefs, lawyers, trades people, police officers, firefighters and pastors.

The common theme is that change is needed. Those in government so long now serve government, not the people.

If everything is wonderful in county government, why fight so hard against new eyes and fresh oversight? Actions scream.

We know about the $42 million in cost overruns on State Road 37 project. Are there more cost overruns coming?

The reality is that independent oversight has long since gone away. My opponent

votes for the commissioners’ projects without question or hesitation.

Please know if you cast your ballot for me, no one will represent you with more passion, devotion or servants’ heart than I will. Ask anyone that really knows me.

Thank you for taking the time to read about who and what I am.

I live conservative values. I am an employer, pro-God, pro-gun, pro-life, pro-term limits, pro-free speech and pro-liberty. I am against government mandates and believe that the government exists to serve the people, not the other way around.

Thank you.

Mark Hall, Noblesville

Vote for Steve Schwartz May 3 Editor, I have known Steve Schwartz not only as a county councilor, but more important, as a friend for more than 35 years. I began serving Hamilton County in 1984 as an Indiana State Trooper, then as the elected sheriff from 2003 to 2010, and currently as the superintendent of the Indiana State Police. My family and I still call Hamilton County home and hope we always will.

Steve and I were both first elected in 2002 and began the journey of elected office together. I was able to see firsthand Steve’s ability to effectively communicate, collaborate on complex issues, but most importantly, his kindness and unselfish

commitment to others. Steve was a great partner with me during my eight years as county sheriff. While we did not always agree, Steve was engaged and always willing to listen.

Our current state of affairs with almost every aspect of our lives being out of balance requires stability in leadership, understanding structural process and a person who can successfully navigate our citizens’ needs – that person is Steve Schwartz.

I hope you will join me in offering your support and your vote to Steve Schwartz on May 3.

Congratulations on an impactful career Editor, There is no shortage of teachers who make a difference in our community, but I want to take a moment to recognize a teacher who has not only impacted the lives of thousands of students in Noblesville but whose efforts have helped save the lives of thousands of people across the country.

Dennis Flak is retiring this year after 26 years in the classroom. Countless students at Noblesville West Middle School have learned critical life skills from him, including how important it is to give back and help others.

Mr. Flak has spearheaded fundraising for the American Heart Association’s American Heart Challenge program since 2015 with fellow teacher Ray Alvey, raising more than $215,000 to fund cutting-edge research and lifesaving education. Through the process, he has engaged students and teachers in fun contests while teaching them about heart-healthy living.

Congratulations, Mr. Flak, on such an impactful career. Your legacy will continue for many years to come.

Elect Steve Schwartz Editor, We are writing to express our support for the reelection of Steve Schwartz for Hamilton County Council.

Steve has served as a diligent public servant in our community for more than 20 years. He is committed to leading Hamilton County with a fiscally responsible approach.

We have watched Councilor Schwartz make sound financial decisions for our residents based on research, listening and growth.

Under Steve’s leadership, our county has been able to obtain an AAA Bond Rating and continue to make progress economically.

Steve has been instrumental in several initiatives that have propelled Hamilton County forward, all while maintaining one of the state’s lowest county tax rates.

When Steve first started his career as a councilor, he made it a priority to meet with each one of the 50-plus county departments. He understands that Hamilton County continues to evolve and grow, and that understanding the needs of the county is crucial.

A 43-year Noblesville resident, Schwartz has always put the people of Hamilton County at the forefront. We believe that Steve Schwartz is more than qualified to continue his dedicated service on the Hamilton County Council. We ask that you please vote for Steve Schwartz on May 3.

Christine Altman, Steve Dillinger, Mark Heirbrandt, Hamilton County Commissioners

Noblesville resident teaches yoga at Prairie Guest House

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Richell Vaughn had been practicing yoga for about six years before deciding to pursue her teaching certifiWELLNESS cate for yoga in December 2017.

Less than five years later, Vaughn has launched her own yoga practice to help clients find “mindfulness.”

Vaughn’s practice, Enlightened Yoga and Wellness, conducts classes at the historic Prairie Guest House in Fishers. She collaborated with Prairie Guest House owners John and Karen Newton to revive the space and open the studio, which offers a variety of classes.

“When I (pursued the teaching certificate), there was just so much to share I wasn’t even aware of,” said Vaughn, a Noblesville resident. “I didn’t go much past poses and things, so once I started doing teacher training, it blew my mind, and I knew there was a lot more to share.”

When she earned her teaching certificate, she began teaching at Noblesville Athletic

Club before working at Body Mind Core in Carmel. She then taught at Honor Yoga Fishers.

“I had formed a little tribe (of clients) and did my best to keep them together,” Vaughn said. “(During the pandemic), we moved to my backyard and then to Morse Reservoir and practiced outside as long as we could.”

Vaughn then rented space at a dance studio before relocating to the Prairie Guest House.

Vaughn said one of the pleasures of being a yoga instructor is watching students “grow beyond the pose.”

“Every pose represents something happening in the body, energy moving through the body and learning how our body feels and trying to find that mind-body connection,” Vaughn said. “I’m trying to get people to slow down long enough (so) they can hear what’s happening in their body.

“If I can teach students to listen to their body to learn to breathe and listen to their breath, they can calm down and we can attack high blood pressure and diseases.”

The average American family of 4 pays over $20,000/year for a family. While an employer covers almost $12,000 of that, it is still egregious. While billed as a saving grace, the high deductible health plan (HDHP) is usually the worst plan for major medical needs. The majority of Americans don’t have enough savings to meet the deductible.

Changes in your wrist could be carpal tunnel syndrome Commentary by Dr. Mark Dillon Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness and tingling in the hand and arm.

VISION The condition happens when the median nerve in the hand is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist. The anatomy of someone’s wrist as well as health problems and repetitive hand motions can all contribute to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome.

THERE ARE CLEAR SIGNS TO LOOK FOR One symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome is tingling and numbness in the fingers or hand. The patient may feel a shock-like sensation in their fingers, experience weakness in their hand or begin unintentionally dropping objects. If these symptoms begin interfering with normal activities or sleep, it is time to visit a doctor.

SEVERAL FACTORS COULD CAUSE THE CONDITION A number of factors are associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. The condition is more common in women, possibly because the affected area is smaller in women than men. Wrist fracture, dislocation or arthritis can alter the space within the carpal tunnel and put pressure on the median nerve. Some chronic illnesses like diabetes increase the risk of nerve damage. Obesity, menopause, thyroid disorders, kidney failure and lymphedema may increase the risk

as well. Working with vibrating tools or in positions that require repetitive flexing of the wrist can create harmful pressure on the median nerve.

SIMPLE CHANGES CAN MINIMIZE STRESS ON HANDS AND WRISTS If your work involves pressing buttons or working with a keyboard, hit them softly.

When writing, use a big pen with an oversized, soft grip adapter and free-flowing ink. Take short, frequent breaks to gently stretch the hands and wrists. Avoid bending the wrists all the way up or down. Make sure the computer mouse is comfortable and does not strain the wrist. People are also more likely to develop hand pain and stiffness in cold environments. It may be beneficial to keep fingerless gloves to keep hands and wrists warm. Posture can also play an important role in prevention. Incorrect posture rolls the shoulders forward, compressing nerves in the neck. This can affect wrists, fingers and hands.

If you exhibit symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, contact your doctor. In most cases, this condition worsens over time, and if left untreated, could lead to permanent nerve damage.

Dr. Mark Dillon is an orthopedic surgeon at IU Health Saxony Hospital.

Carmel actor takes on role in ‘The Fantasticks’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When J.B. Scoble started acting five years ago, he went full throttle.

“I took it all in at the MUSICAL same time,” Scoble said. “I feel more comfortable now than I did then.”

The Carmel resident started acting seriously with Carmel Apprentice Theatre’s “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” five years ago.

Scoble, 41, had only acted once in his senior year in high school in Massachusetts.

Since catching the acting bug in 2017, Scoble has acted as much as he can. He now gets his shot at the lead part of El Gallo in Carmel Community Players’ production of “The Fantasticks” April 22 to May 8 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

Scoble has never seen the musical but knew the classic number of “Try to Remember,” which he sings at the opening and close of the show.

“When you get in the music and the character, it’s right up my alley,” Scoble said.

El Gallo is the narrator of the story about two fathers who are neighbors and pretend to feud to get their two children to fall in love. There are a lot of lines and five songs for Scoble.

“It’s a heavy lift, for sure, but it’s super fun,” Scoble said. “It’s a small, intimate show. It’s not this big, massive musical production. It’s a really great story. I’m sure a lot of people will see the messages in the show.”

Scoble said there is a little pressure because many people are familiar with the show.

Thom Johnson plays Mortimer and Duane Leatherman is cast as Henry. Both are Westfield residents.

“Our characters have been together 40 years and we’re still trying to find our niche,” Johnson said.

This is Johnson’s first time in “The Fantasticks” but he is quite familiar with it.

“I’ve seen it three times in New York,” he said. “I ran lights for the show in 1985

in Hagerstown. I know most of the lines.

Most of mine, too.”

Johnson and Leatherman have been friends for years.

“We have playful banter as friends, and the banter as the characters carries over on the stage,” Johnson said.

Leatherman said his character recites Shakespeare and Jonson performs death scenes.

Leatherman was in the “The Fantasticks” at the Belfry Theatre in Noblesville in 2009. He played one of the fathers. He also was a stage manager of a production of the show when he attended Anderson University.

“I like how theatrical he is,” Leatherman said of his character. “He’s over the top.

He and Mortimer are some of the comic relief. I love this show. It’s one of my favorites.”

The show ran for 17,162 performances at Sullivan Street Playhouse from 1960 to 2002, making the it the world’s longest-running musical.

“I saw it there in 1990 and was taken by the simple beauty of the show and the intimacy of the venue, as it was only five rows deep,” said Rich Phipps, who is

directing the show for CCP. “By the early 2000s, ‘The Fantasticks’ had become established as perhaps the most performed musical in the world, having been adapted to film and produced around the globe in 67 countries by professional, community and school theaters. I believe the show’s popularity stems from the fact that it is a very simple story, yet one that operates on many levels, and contains a profound, perhaps even religious, message. People of all ages can enjoy it as just a colorful fable, with good music and funny characters.

“Certain audiences can draw much more from it, viewing from the lens of their own life experience. At various life stages, some will identify with the young lovers, others the parents, the ‘old actors’ or the storytellers.”

Phipps knows many audience members will have seen the show before, some several times.

“So as a director, the challenge has been to keep it fresh while not deviating far from the essence of what made it so popular in the first place, striking a balance between how touching it is and yet how ludicrous,” he said.

Spencer Day will perform at 7:30 p.m. April 22-23 at Feinstein’s Cabaret at the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel. For more, visit feinsteinshc.com.

Cynthia Collins said she loves the variety of the Actors Theatre of Indiana’s 2022-23 season, which was PERFORMANCE announced April 18.

“A season should have something for everyone,” said Collins, who co-founded ATI with Don Farrell and Judy Fitzgerald. “Everyone thinks differently and this season attributes to that.”

The season opens with “Nunsense” Sept.

9 and runs through Oct. 2. It is followed by “Violet’ Oct. 28 to Nov. 20, “The Mountaintop” Feb. 3 to 19, 2023 and “Mr. Confidential” April 28 to May 21, 2023. Those shows will be at the Studio Theater in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“Together, I believe we have come up with a season that will appeal to everyone,” Farrell said. “‘Nunsense’ is a tried and true, irreverent musical comedy that’s been successful for decades, a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. ‘Violet’ is a poignant and touching musical about beauty, love,

courage and what it means to be an outsider. ‘The Mountaintop’ is a fictional retelling of how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spent his last night on Earth before his tragic assassination. ‘Mr. Confidental’ is our very first full-scale musical world premiere, a swinging, sexy musical based on real people and occurrences that happened in (the 1950s) when Bob Harrison practically invented modern celebrity journalism with his infamous Confidential magazine allowing the public a peek into the bedrooms and boardrooms of the rich, famous and powerful.”

ATI presented ‘Nunsense’ in 2010, prior to the completion of the Center for the Performing Arts.

“Mr. Confidential” was presented as an ATI LAB series reading earlier this year.

“This is the whole reason for our LAB series, to move a project to our Main Stage,” Collins said. “This show was highly developed going into the reading, so that definitely helped.”

Farrell said ATI knew it had great music and very interesting stories about real people and events.

Actress returns to Beef & Boards Submitted by Beef & Boards news@currentincarmel.com First seen on the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage as Brigitta, the smart, observant, book-reading 12-yearMUSICAL old in “The Sound of Music,” Grace Morgan has stepped back onto the same stage in another classic musical, “Hello, Dolly!” She plays the beautiful widow milliner, Irene Molloy.

“It’s been incredible being back,” the 2008 Fishers High School graduate said. “There are quite a few people in this show who have known me since I was young, so it’s been really wonderful getting the chance to know them as an adult and fellow cast member.”

The Beef & Boards stage was not her first.

“I did my first musical at 5 years old in Carmel and then did shows at Civic (Theatre) and then Indiana Repertory Theatre,” Morgan said. “Then I found out about Beef & Boards when I was about 12 and loved working here, too. I remember being incredibly excited when I found out I was going to work at Beef & Boards. It’s an Indiana landmark.

“I remember enjoying my relationships so much with the other kids, many of whom I still know and have continued working in the realm of theater here in Indiana and in New York.”

Growing up on local stages guided her into a career in the spotlight.

“It was always the only thing that I wanted to do, so it was a no-brainer to get my college degree in musical theater,” she said, adding she earned that degree at the University of Michigan, where she met her future husband, Daniel Berryman.

“We were both majoring in musical theater, and the first time I heard him sing, I fell in love,” she said. “We didn’t start seriously dating until a couple years later, but we have been best friends since we were 18.”

From there, they moved to New York City, where they lived for seven years and welcomed their first son, Luke, now 3.

“The city just fits us, and we really feel we thrive there,” Morgan said.

Although they moved back to Fishers to be close to family and continue to hone their skills, they plan to move back to New York City some day.

“We both spent a lot of time on the road with Broadway tours, and we wanted to be able to spend some time investing in some-

thing to keep us in New York while we wait for the next gig,” Morgan said. “We’re hoping to not have to travel so much now that we have a family. My husband is now a web developer as well, and I am a cosmetologist on the side. These other skills will allow us to be pickier about the shows we choose to take and allow us to stay put more often.”

Morgan’s career has included many famous roles such as Roxie Hart in “Chicago” and Sandy in “Grease.”

But her most remarkable role to date was that of Christine Daaé in the national tour of “The Phantom of the Opera.”

“Touring with ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ was in so many ways a dream come true.

I got to play the role of Christine twice a week, and it felt amazing getting to wear those iconic costumes and sing that beautiful music,” she said, adding she performed off and on from 2013-2018. “The Phantom fans are unlike anything I’d experienced.

They are so loyal to the show, and they know every actor who’s ever played the role. Lots of them still follow along with my life and support me in all my life changes.”

Since being back in Indiana, Morgan has had another son, Jesse, now 2.

Irene Molloy and the musical “Hello, Dolly!” are new additions to Morgan’s resume, and she’s enjoyed stepping back into turnof-the-century Yonkers, N.Y She’s also finding her character, Irene Molloy, relatable.

“I feel like I have rejoined society, getting to sing and dance every night and enjoy being with my cast. I think Irene and I are both incredibly social and love celebrating life,” Morgan said.

brunch and lunch. My favorite items are on the breakfast menu. I suggest the corned beef hash, especially if you spent the night before out on the town. The dish features in-house roasted corned beef and smashed potatoes. I suggest adding two eggs fried over easy for an additional $2.95.

This breakfast and a cup of coffee (or two) will fix you right up after a night exploring Bloomington’s bar and music scene. It’s family friendly and a great spot to meet friends and grab a bite while you work or do homework.

Words ripe for flouting Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Duck Creek Aqueduct in Metamora. (Photos by Don Knebel)

A tour of Metamora Commentary by Don Knebel Today, we visit tiny Metamora, a historic canal town 67 miles east southeast of Indianapolis.

TRAVEL In 1836, the Indiana Legislature authorized $1.4 million ($43 million today) for a canal extending from Hagerstown to Lawrenceburg. When Indiana went bankrupt in 1839, private interests took over the canal’s construction.

Completed in 1847, the 76-mile Whitewater Canal employed 56 locks and seven dams to accommodate its large 491-foot drop. Towns sprang up along the canal route, including Metamora, platted in 1838 and named after a popular 1829 play. In 1843, a 75-foot wooden aqueduct built near Metamora carried canal water over Duck Creek, one of only 10 such structures built in the United States.

In 1856, a canal-powered grist mill was established in Metamora. The Whitewater Canal was not a success and was largely abandoned soon after it opened. Beginning in 1863, a railroad was built alongside the canal’s towpath.

Today, unincorporated Metamora (popuplation 188) lies within the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site and includes original buildings and some period structures moved from other locations. A water-powered mill in a two-story brick building, built in 1932 to replace the burned-out original mill, grinds corn and wheat into flour available for purchase. On selected days from May to October, the nonprofit Whitewater Valley Railroad offers a five-hour round trip on an antique train from Connersville to Metamora and/or a short trip within Metamora. On occasion, a horse-drawn canal

Historic Metamora Grist Mill alongside railroad tracks.

Have you ever heard someone say, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it?” Flaunt is a word that means to show off or parade something. You might GRAMMAR GUY be tempted to say “flout” instead of flaunt, since the two words sound and look almost identical to each other. Flout means to show contempt for or mock something.

Many people flout the “10 items or fewer” lane at the grocery store by bringing an entire shopping cart full of items.

Do you find it confusing when to use “rife” and when to use “ripe”? Rife connotes abundance while ripe suggests readiness. Rife is usually used with the word “with” afterward: My uncle’s Facebook updates are rife with conspiracy theories. Ripe is usually used with the word “for” after it: The pears on that tree are ripe for the picking.

Is something a sham or a scam? A sham is something that is a fraud or a pillow cover. A scam is a shady plan to take advantage of someone’s trust. Since both words involve deception of some sort,

these two are easy to confuse.

Here’s an example of two words I hear mistaken all the time: riff and rift. A “riff” is a melodic phrase that gets repeated.

The Edge from U2 is known for his catchy guitar riffs. A “rift” is a split, opening, or distance created between two things.

This can be a rift in the ground or a rift in a friendship. The band developed a rift when the percussionist insisted on playing his cowbell during every song.

Let’s tackle squash and quash. To “squash” something means to physically squeeze or press down on something.

To “quash” something means to halt or quickly bring to an end something in a nonphysical sense. You “quash” a rumor by revealing the truth about the situation in question. You squash a spider on your car’s dashboard because it makes you scream in terror during rush hour traffic.
