Noblesville council urges Westfield council to continue with Ind. 32 expansion

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Although the Westfield City Council removed the Ind. 32 agreement item from the agenda for its April GOVERNMENT 26 meeting, several Noblesville Common Council members attended the Westfield council to urge the council to continue with the previously approved plans for expanding Ind. 32.

For the past month, some members of the Westfield City Council have considered terminating the agreement between the city and the Indiana Dept. of Transportation. The agreement was made in 2018 and outlined a partnership between the two entities for an expansion to Ind. 32 through Westfield’s downtown. Because the Westfield council announced it was considering terminating the agreement, Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said INDOT would not pursue improvements to the highway between Noblesville and Westfield if the expansion doesn’t happen.

Some council members took Cook’s assertion as a threat to manipulate their decisions. Noblesville Common Council President Darren Peterson addressed the situation during the public comment session of the Westfield council meeting.

“We are here tonight to encourage the Westfield council to reconsider their ordinance to cancel the State Road 32 project in Westfield. As members of the Noblesville council, we understand the importance and

duty of making good fiscal decisions for a growing city in Hamilton County,” Peterson said. “With approximately 19,000 vehicles driving this two-lane roadway each day, there is no question that State Road 32 through Hamilton County is in dire need of capacity improvement.”

Westfield City Council President Mike Johns said the council decided to remove the item from the April 26 agenda because he felt there wasn’t enough information to make a decision. Johns said he and two other Westfield councilors had a Zoom meeting with INDOT officials prior to the council

meeting. After the meeting, Johns said he requested more information regarding the project’s design, and INDOT will present that information during a public meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. May 4 at the Grand Park Events Center, 19000 Grand Park Blvd, Westfield.

“Westfield has a great opportunity for a 50/50 partnership with INDOT on this project,” Peterson said. “Most importantly, cost and risk will be shared, including cost overruns.”

Previously, it was agreed that Westfield would cover any cost overruns, but INDOT recently announced it would split the overruns with the city.

“This partnership allows the city to incorporate design features which INDOT would not otherwise consider,” Peterson said.

“Currently, Noblesville is making a significant investment to fix the same capacity problem in our own downtown. We understand the regional significance of State Road 32, not only to our city, but across central Indiana connecting I-65 to I-69. INDOT has publicly stated that they have funded a $35 million project to add travel lanes from East Street in Westfield to River Road in Noblesville. This would connect to both Noblesville’s and Westfield’s committed downtown projects.

Peterson asked council members to reconsider the proposed ordinance to terminate the agreement between Westfield and INDOT. Because Peterson spoke during the public comment session, the Westfield City Council did not respond.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to work to get back to business as usual.

Noblesville High School Jazz 1 band earns spot in prestigious festival (Submitted photo)

Noblesville Schools receives music honor for 6th year

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This is becoming quite a pleasant habit for Noblesville Schools.

The school district ACHIEVEMENT has been named a 2021 Best Community for Music Education winner by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation for the sixth consecutive year.

“This just confirms what we already know,” said Eric Thornbury, Noblesville High School music department chair and director of bands. “Noblesville music is not just surviving the pandemic, we are thriving. There are some districts that have not been able to even meet in person. We have a hugely supportive administration. For example, NHS Principal Craig McCaffrey recently received the Outstanding Indiana Music Administrator of the Year Award.

“I hope all of our students and the Noblesville community realize how fortunate we are to be able to continue music education this year. We are very lucky and very honored to receive this award.”

Districts were selected based on music funding, staffing of highly qualified music teachers, commitment to standards and access to music instruction. The national music education recognition is described as highlighting school districts for their outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders in embracing music education as a part of the core school curriculum.

The NHS Jazz 1 class was recently accepted into the highly selective Essentially Ellington jazz competition, also known as the “Jazz Super Bowl.”

NHS earned a spot given to only 15 schools across the United States and Canada. Students will perform in the virtual competition, based in New York City and hosted by jazz legend Wynton Marsalis, June 4-5.

The Jazz 1 band has 19 NHS students.

Bethany Robinson, NHS jazz director and assistant director of bands, said finalists were chosen from blind audio recordings.

“The judging panel in New York City had no idea which band was which,” Robinson said. “About 10 years ago, I received an Indiana Lily Teacher Creativity Grant to travel to New York and study jazz, where I attended a band director academy and I learned about this prestigious festival.”

Robinson said each year since, NHS jazz classes have watched a documentary called “Chops” about a group of students working toward the festival. NHS submitted its first audition in 2014.

“We’ve submitted five recordings since 2014, and this was our first time being accepted as a finalist,” Robinson said.

“Because of the difficult nature of Duke Ellington music, he wrote for the best of the best in the mid-20th century, many schools would not attempt this music. It’s truly a celebration of student achievement. I’m thrilled for the students.”

Robinson said they are already preparing to do some high-end live recorded performances to send to New York.

HCHD struggles with no-shows

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com After months of patients waiting to receive COVID-19 immunizations, the Hamilton County Health Dept.

PANDEMIC announced it has noticed a sharp increase in the number of people who do not show up for their vaccination appointments.

HCHD Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Christian Walker said the department is averaging up to 50 no-shows each day.

“Unfortunately, that puts us in a bad position as we don’t want to risk losing a dose because we opened a vial and don’t have an arm to put it in,” Walker stated.

More COVID-19 vaccination clinics are opening, allowing people to schedule appointments sooner than their previously scheduled appointment, leading to the noshows. The only way to cancel an appointment is by calling the state’s 211 number, which can lead to long wait times.

Patients can still expect either a call from 317-776-2585 or a text from 78015 the week prior to confirm their appointment. However, if they need to talk to someone about the appointment or cancel the appointment, they should leave a voicemail including their name, date of birth, phone number and appointment date at 317-776-8566.

Mountain biking team open to students

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers High School junior Zachary Strueder can’t wait for his second season with the Northside Indy team CYCLING in the Indiana Interscholastic Cycling League.

“Everyone had a good time,” Strueder said of the mountain bike races. “It’s still competitive but we were all friends after it. It’s that adrenaline rush that I think most of my friends are addicted to trying to hit the biggest jump, have the biggest trick and just to be faster than one another. It’s a great, healthy, competitive sport. It’s awesome.”

Guerin Catholic High School senior Dominic Stein encouraged Strueder to join.

Strueder rode in the varsity category last season.

“The varsity did four laps. A lap was about 3 to 5 miles around,” said Strueder, who also wrestles at FHS. Northside Indy coach Tim Banks, a Level 3 coach with the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, is seeking more members for the team. The mountain bike league is for grades 6-12.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury.

For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Michael, 8th grader at Noblesville West Middle school, plays football and baseball both at school and through travel leagues. Since his first injury in 5th grade, Michael has dealt with reoccurring sports related knee injuries. When Michael was first injured, his father, Brandon, knew Michael Bennett is an 8th he wanted to get his son over to Methodist Sports grader at Noblesville West Medicine for an evaluation. Brandon had surgery Middle School performed on his knee at MSM years ago when he was injured in high school sports. Knowing the level of care that he received then, and how smoothly the recovery process was, Brandon got Michael set up at MSM. WHY MSM: “Every experience throughout this process has been fantastic,” said Brandon, Michael’s father. “From the care that he received the moment we walked in, to the treatment by Dr. Ritter and his associates, the surgery at Beltway, to the physical therapy at Finch Creek with Nate and Melissa, it has all been phenomenal!”

THE JOURNEY: During his appointment with Dr. Mark Ritter, specialist in orthopedic sports medicine & trauma, Michael was informed that he had a hereditary condition which offset his kneecaps, causing ongoing patella instability. With the need to hold off on surgery until his growth plates were closed, Michael received physical therapy at MSM until the time was right. At a checkup appointment in the fall of 2020, Michael was informed that his growth plates were officially closed, and that it was time to make a tough decision to either keep playing through the pain, or go through with the surgery. Ultimately, Michael decided to have the surgery so that he would be back on the field for summer ball and freshman football. “I thought I would not be able to try out for the Middle School baseball team,” said Michael. “My recovery was so far ahead of schedule I was able to try out for the team and make it.” A surgery that typically takes six to nine months for recovery took Michael only four and a half.

“Michael poured dedication and energy into his rehabilitation,” said Dr. Ritter. “He’s returning to the baseball diamond just a few months after his reconstructive surgery. His quick return is a product of his hard work with MSM’s physical therapy staff.”

Michael continues to receive physical therapy at MSM’s Finch Creek Noblesville location as he gets back in the swing of things. He has been able to return to doing the things that he loves most - fishing, catching baseballs behind the plate, and being active with friends and family.

State urges Hoosiers to get vaccinated

By Jarred Meeks jarred@yoaurecurrent.com Indiana state health officials urge Hoosiers to get vaccinated for COVID-19 as demand for immunizations PANDEMIC decreases and COVID-19 variants increase.

During an April 28 virtual briefing, Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said demand for vaccines has declined in the weeks following the state’s move to open eligibility to all residents 16 and older.

Because supply is beginning to outpace demand, the Indiana State Dept. of Health is directing vaccination clinics with openings not to require appointments and accept walk-ins, although appointments are still encouraged.

The dwindling demand for vaccinations comes after approximately one-third of eligible Indiana residents have been fully vaccinated. As of April 28, a total of 4,114,426 doses had been administered in Indiana, including 2,315,568 first doses. A total of 1,798,858 individuals were fully vaccinated.

State health officials also said variants of COVID-19 have increased across the state and account for 31.7 percent of new cases.

Box said the ISDH plans to include the prevalence of variants on its coronavirus dashboard, coronavirus.in.gov.

State health officials said it’s important for Indiana residents to get vaccinated to slow the spread of new variants, which data suggests are more lethal and spread more easily than original variants. They said data collected from people who have been vaccinated shows residents are significantly more susceptible to the disease if they don’t get vaccinated.

“We are seeing the greatest increase in cases right now among people in their 20s and 30s, where our vaccination numbers are significantly lower,” ISDH Chief Medical Officer Lindsay Weaver said. “Since March 1, we saw a 130 percent increase (in cases) in 30- to 39-year-olds and a 93 percent increase in 20- to 29-year-olds.”

A statewide hospital census revealed only 2.5 percent of hospitalized COVID-19 patients since March 1 had been fully vaccinated.

Cervical cancer survivor stresses importance of routine health screenings Patient describes relationship formed with Ascension St. Vincent care teams as a ‘blessing’ After a visit to the emergency room due to uncontrollable bleeding, Elaine Krieg scheduled a Pap test with her OB-GYN. When the test detected abnormal cells, her doctor did a cervical biopsy. She said she remembers crying and pulling over to the side of the road when her doctor called with her results.

“I got the call on a Friday night and my doctor told me that I had cervical cancer,” said Elaine. “I was shocked.”

Elaine received chemotherapy and radiation, and has been in remission for two years. She said she has “been blessed” by the relationships she has formed with her care teams at Ascension St. Vincent.

“I feel like I have been surrounded by the best medical team possible,” said Elaine. “My doctors and nurses are amazing, and they listen to all of my questions and concerns.”

Elaine admits she went several years without having a Pap test, but now she encourages all women to stay up to date on the screenings their doctor recommends.

Michael Callahan, MD, is Elaine’s gynecologic oncologist at Ascension St. Vincent. He said all women are at risk for cervical cancer, but it’s seen most often in women over age 30.

“A Pap smear could save your life. It may feel awkward at times, but it’s better to feel awkward for 10 minutes than go through what I went through.”

Elaine Krieg, cervical cancer survivor treated at Ascension St. Vincent

“The human papillomavirus (HPV) is very common and various strains of the virus can cause cervical cancer,” said Dr. Callahan. “Getting screened regularly is important, because it may help find cancer early, when it’s most treatable.”

At Ascension St. Vincent, doctors are ready to listen to understand you and your needs as a woman. Gynecologists are available to help determine the screenings that are right for you.

Current recommendations for screenings by age include: • 20s - Women should begin getting regular Pap exams.

• 30s and 40s - Women should begin getting HPV tests in addition to regular Pap exams.

• 50 and older - Women should continue getting regular screenings as recommended by their doctor.

With locations throughout Indiana, Ascension St. Vincent makes getting routine screenings as convenient as possible.

And if more advanced care is needed, you are connected to a team of specialists ready to help. We are maintaining strict precautions to keep you safe in our care.

Erika’s Place co-owner Erika Flanders said her restaurant has received negative comments on social media after she decided to no longer require masks after Gov. Eric Holcomb ended the mask mandate April 6. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

‘IT’S NICE TO SEE YOUR SMILE’ Erika’s Place one of few businesses no longer requires masks; owner receives mixed response

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When Gov. Eric Holcomb’s state mask mandate ended April 6, many businesses erred on the side of caution, and “Masks required” signs remained in their windows. Others, however, decided to return to business as normal prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Erika Flanders, co-owner of Erika’s Place restaurant, and her business partner, Cheryl Hunter, are one of the businesses that allows employees to choose whether or not to wear a mask.

“We had decided once the mandate was lifted that we would let our employees choose what they wanted to do, and some of them still do wear a mask,” Flanders said.

“Some don’t. We decided to take our signs down that said masks were required and just let the customer decide as well. They have the choice to do what they want to do.”

The pandemic was hard on local businesses, especially restaurants. But now that her business has resumed operations, Flanders has received negative comments on social media about her decision with not requiring masks for customers or employees.

“It just eats at me because this is my heart and soul,” said Flanders, holding back tears. “I’ve been (waitressing) for 28 years, and I know you can’t make everybody happy, but it drives me crazy to see one little remark out there and

it goes wild. I know the mask thing is so divided right now, but I just feel like it’s our choice. This is America.”

Despite the negative comments and threats that customers won’t come to Erika’s Place, which has a flagship location in Cicero and moved its Westfield location to downtown Noblesville in January, Flanders said customers line up out the door every weekend to get a table.

“We have had a lot of customers, and not even regular customers, just some people I don’t even know, say, ‘It’s nice to see your smile’ or ‘It’s nice to see your face,’” Flanders said. “Nobody has said anything negative to me inside (the restaurant). It’s all social media. My true feeling is they wouldn’t come and say it to my face. They hide behind a computer, and I feel like if that’s your feeling, you don’t need to come in here.”

Flanders and her staff said they were “super excited” to come to work April 6 and not be required to wear a mask.

Erika’s Place employee Chelsey Saxon said she’s grateful her employer granted her the choice.

“We all got used to the masks, so had we had to continue to wear them, I’d be OK with it, but I am happy we have an employer who lets us choose,” Saxon said.

“We just feel like we want to get back to normal as much as possible,” Flanders said. “Yes, I didn’t expect (the negative comments), but I guess I thought more people would be ready for the mandate to go away than what happened, especially with social media. But I feel like we need to move

MOVING TO NOBLESVILLE Erika’s Place opened its flagship restaurant in Cicero nine years ago and opened a store in downtown Westfield shortly after that. However, several issues with the Westfield location led to Erika’s Place relocating to the building in downtown Noblesville that used to house Courtney’s Kitchen.

“The (downtown) parking was an issue, and after COVID, our business never came back like it was,” Erika’s Place co-owner Erika Flanders said. “The intersection we were at (Union Street and Ind. 32), we don’t know what’s going on there with the road.”

Since moving to downtown Noblesville, Flanders said business has already surpassed the Westfield location. ahead. We’re going to be here forever if someone doesn’t take that step.

“There have been a lot of businesses choosing to still require masks, and it’s kind of a battlefield about the decision on social media.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Old-school vacations

Skipping school

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

It is time to get away from it all. The specter of COVID-19 is waning, and the echo of a very tough year is beginning, for many at least, to fade off into the canyon of history. The sun is shining, and the trees again showcase their foliage. Still, the nagging challenges of our daily ritual cast a shadow over us. We need a vacation.

Where will we go? For many of those among us, no kids mean footloose choices. For others, we pack the little ones into the truckster and head to all points of the compass. For those whose nest has emptied, perhaps this is the year for the dream trip — long awaited and much imagined. Or maybe, our plans will take us to visit friends and family, always missed but especially longed for during the lockdowns and travel restrictions. Could we go to the lake again, or is it the summer to visit our college roommate who long ago repaired to some small town out west to pursue her fortune?

Whatever the destination, we pack up, pull out and decamp. With each mile, our recollection of the domestic stresses of difficult customers and the slowly leaking toilet in the guest bath blur into the distance. We set out for new territory, with new faces and a new attitude.

The rules of ordinary life seem more relaxed at some distance from home.

Alas, the phone rings, email dings, and text brings us right back to the office. While we are blessed to enjoy the long tether of the modern age, it is just that, a tether, giving us a prolonged leash but never fully setting us free.

And we like it, mostly. In a world where we can increasingly be anywhere at any time, will there be need for an oldschool vacation?

That second COVID-19 vaccine is no joke! I recently received mine, and despite my “I’ll be fine” and “Everyone else is weak” proclamations, it was never a real contest. Moderna 1, me 0.

I felt so terrible I actually took a sick day! I know! For you non-educators out there, this is tantamount to publicly admitting defeat to your worst enemy in your underwear. You just don’t do it, ever. It’s too much work preparing for a substitute who probably won’t be able to carry out your instructions, anyway, assuming you’re even feeling well enough to pull those worthless plans together. To give you some perspective, I haven’t called in sick in probably seven years, though I’ve certainly been ill enough to warrant it. It’s simply easier to push through.

But I knew about 12 hours after “the shot” that my near-perfect attendance was about to be flushed down the toilet. First, the intense chills and body aches hit, followed by a decent fever and a general sense of awfulness. For a brief moment, I thought maybe I could Zoom from home, but then quickly conceded defeat. If I couldn’t summon the strength to watch Netflix or whisper a thank-you to my husband when he thoughtfully brought me ginger ale, how was I supposed to explain the complexities of Reaganomics? No, I would not be doing any form of teaching in my condition.

So, I informed the pedagogical powers-that-be, curled up on the couch, and … endured, reminding my pitiful self that this flu-like misery was still far better than contracting COVID-19.

Get vaccinated, friends. Even if that second body blow necessitates a sick day.

Peace out.

Pet stores should adopt a more humane model Editor, Hamilton County has many animal lovers who want end to puppy mills, yet some may not know that pet store dogs overwhelmingly come from puppy mills, even though they are licensed, inspected and AKC registered.

Reputable breeders do not sell to pet stores. The mothers in puppy mills are overbred, forced to endure horrible existences in tiny cages and are often abandoned or killed after they can no longer breed. Their puppies are shipped to pet stores, typically spending days in cramped cages on a truck exposed to sick puppies, and sometimes die on the trip. Consumers can be faced with enormous vet bills or even the death of their new puppy. These health problems are often the result of unsanitary conditions, insufficient veterinary care and poor breeding at puppy mills.

To learn more about reputable breeders, go to humanesociety.org/breeders. To adopt, check out the amazing, brand new shelter at 10501 Hague Rd. in Fishers or contact a rescue group.

We must also ask our local (pet stores) to change (their) business plans to a more humane model, like most pet stores already do, or we must ask the Westfield City Council (councilmembers@westfield.in.gov) to prohibit stores from selling dogs.

Walk the talk Editor, I got a kick out of the Tim Campbell cartoon in the April 27 Current in Carmel.

He shows the stimulus checks as “pork.”

It would be good to see Campbell publicly walk the talk and send his stimulus check back to the U.S. Treasury.

Many of us sneer at the stimulus, but still pocket the checks; deride “socialized” medicine, but still take Medicare.

In the 19th century, the great American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson reminded us about hypocrisy: “What you do speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say.”

Lorenda Carr and Liz Pike go way back in dance circles.

In fact, Carr was Pike’s NEW BIZ dance teacher at a Carmel studio when Pike was younger.

“We kept in touch and actually worked together for the previous five years at another facility,” Carr said. “When COVID hit, we decided to go in different directions and start our own place.”

The dance instructors launched Dance Innovations PAC (Performing Arts Center) virtually in June 2020 during the pandemic. The in-person studio, which has 1,800 square feet, opened April 12 at 102 S. Union St., Westfield. The spot was previously home to Erika’s Place restaurant, which has relocated to Noblesville.

“We are currently the only dedicated dance studio in Westfield that is offering what we do,” Pike said. “We are committed to uplifting the arts in a city that is often dominated by sports.”

The studio, which offers classes for stu-

“When this came open, we thought this would be a great starting point,” Carr said.

“We know the days are numbered for that

space, but we thought it would be a good launching point.”

The Ind. 32 expansion could occupy the space in the future, but Carr said it would not likely be before 2023.

“It gives us a chance to grow some roots in Westfield and a chance to build some capital to move into a bigger space,” Carr said. “We have two dance rooms that are completed and there is space for a third dance room we are working on.”

Carr and Pike teach in-person classes along with Xavier Medina, who conducts the hip hop classes.

Carr, owner of Circle City Tap Co., has been teaching for 30-plus years. Pike, a Noblesville resident and Noblesville High School graduate, has been teaching for 15 years.

Dance Innovations will conduct two upcoming open houses, one for summer classes May 23 and one for fall classes July 31.

Auditions to join the company for the 2021-22 season are set for June 5 and are for ages 5 and older. Registration for spring classes is ongoing and just opened for summer session classes (June 7 to Aug. 1). For more, visit danceinnovationspac.com.

Help mom fight osteoporosis Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan May is National Osteoporosis Month. Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones lose more calcium than they PODIATRY absorb. Most people develop this condition after turning 50, but the disease can strike at an earlier age. Women have a higher risk for osteoporosis than men.

Osteoporosis and your feet Osteoporosis makes bones weak and breakable. In fact, even stubbing your toe, or coughing too hard, could cause a fracture when you have osteoporosis. Because the feet have to handle your full body weight, foot and ankle bones are at high risk for fracture with osteoporosis. In addition to fractures, osteoporosis can cause top of foot bone pain and tenderness or red, swollen feet (which could actually be a sign of a small fracture).

Podiatrists are often the ones to diagnose osteoporosis, since the disease can cause small fractures from something as simple as walking!

Carmel actors get another shot at ‘A Few Good Men’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A few hours before opening night of Civic Theatre’s production of “A Few Good Men” on March 13, 2020, DRAMA the curtain dropped on the play because of a shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, more than a year later, the play returns with Carmel resident Matt Kraft in a leading role of Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a Navy lawyer. “A Few Good Men” runs May 7-22 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“I think one of the biggest challenges of this role is just memorizing the sheer amount of dialogue my character has, but that’s the best problem I could ever ask for,” said Kraft, a 2009 Carmel High School graduate. “(Playwright) Aaron Sorkin writes incredibly sharp dialogue, so it’s a ton of fun to get to use it in this play. I started going over the script and the lines again about three weeks before rehearsal.

It’s actually cool coming back to this story a year later because I see pieces now that I missed the first time.”

The play is about the trial of two Marines charged with complicity in the death of a fellow Marine. The play was made into a 1992 movie.

“I am so glad to have the chance to finish what we started with this show,” Kraft said. “Everyone at the theater is so fun to hang out with at rehearsal every day, and I can’t wait for audiences to finally see this.”

Kraft performed in “Pride and Prejudice” at Civic Theatre in February. Kraft is confident “A Few Good Men” can succeed because of all the challenges involved with juggling that show.

“It’s like, ‘Hey, if we can do a Jane Austen adaptation with English accents, masks and basically no live audience, we can definitely do ‘A Few Good Men,’” Kraft said.

Jonathan Scoble, a Carmel resident, returns in his role as Lt. Jonathan James Kendrick.

‘Light on the Horizon’ Civic Theatre will present “Light on the Horizon” through May 15 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Performances are at 7 p.m. May 7-9.

In-person and livestream options are available. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

‘Live at the Center’ Starlite Lounge will perform in the “Live at the Center” series at 7:30 p.m. May 6 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. To register for the free livestream, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Beef & Boards Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will present “Smoke on the Mountain” from May 4 to June 20. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

Westfield Playhouse Main Street Productions’ performances of “Silent Sky” May 6-16 at Westfield Playhouse.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. May 6-8, 2:30 p.m. May 9. For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

“We were given about a month to rehearse, and with a few new faces in the cast, there was some work to do,” Scoble said. “For me, personally, it took about a week to get my lines back. My character, however, never really went away. He rattled around my subconscious for over a year, hopeful that we would get another chance to perform, and here we are.”

Scoble said there are some new considerations as a result of the pandemic.

“Mostly in terms of spacing and distancing and such, but we are working through them, almost effortlessly, without diminishing the integrity of the story,” Scoble said. “I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge and commend Civic leadership and our director, John Goodson, for how they’ve handled these circumstances.”

Scoble’s character is that of a military tough guy.

“On the surface, he seems very one-dimensional,” Scoble said. “To some degree, his tough-guy persona is simply an ex-

tension of his commanding officer, Col. Jessup. I believe there is a bit more to him than just that — a bright, articulate, commanding leader with more than a handful of misappropriated, God-fearing tendencies. I have found him to be a relatively dynamic character to portray.”

Scoble performed in the summer of 2020 in a lighthearted Shakespeare abridged show for Indy Bard Fest.

“With the cancellation of all indoor events, the concept was to bring theater to the community in outdoor spaces, which at the time was deemed safe,” Scoble said. “We managed to book 15 shows all over the state of Indiana from August to October, and although a bit non-traditional, it was very well received and considered a huge success. We were even able to stream the show live online in October, which was then still a novel concept in the community theater space — a production I won’t soon forget.”

Starlite Lounge to perform

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The band members of Starlite Lounge have been playing together for more than five years.

CONCERT However, the band will have a new sound when it performs at 7:30 p.m. May 6 in the “Live at the Center” series in a free livestream from the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

All four members previously performed under the name of Carmichael, named after band member Eric Carmichael, before officially changing the band’s name in February.

“There is already an artist with that name, and Hoagy Carmichael,” said Nick Christie, who plays guitar and sings. “Licensing became kind of a nightmare. We were performing under Carmichael for five years, so it came to a point where we had to rebrand for business material and all new music. So Starlite Lounge, this is all new material. The music is Americana, indie rock that references a lot of the sounds of the ’60s and ’70s.”

The band will play all original and all new music.

Carmichael plays bass and is the other vocalist. Costin Ritter plays drums and

Starlite Lounge members are, from left, Eric Carmichael (bass/vocals), Nick Christie (guitar/ vocals), Costin Ritter (drums) and Jamie Mahan (keyboards). (Submitted photo)

Jamie Mahan plays keyboards. All four members live in Indianapolis. Carmichael and Christie met when they were students at Marion High School and began playing together.

“We’re obviously thrilled at the opportunity to play at the Center. It’s a huge opportunity for us,” Carmichael said. “We’re glad the show is going to be livestreamed for people to view. It’s definitely an opportunity to reach more people that we might not otherwise connect with.”

Starlite Lounge released “Utopia” on Spotify in April.

The Stave

The Stave Burger has plenty of pimento cheese to enjoy. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 5711 McCracken Pike, Frankfort, Ky. What to get: The Stave Burger Price: $14 Anna’s take: This is At the Table with Anna’s Bourbon Trail edition. I went on the Bourbon Trail a few weeks ago with my older brother, Matthew, and although there will be a full story in a future edition about which distilleries we tried, what we liked, what to be sure to do, how to arrive at each destination safely, etc., there’s simply too much information for just one story, so I thought I would summarize the food in one of the At the Table with Anna columns. The Stave takes the top spot, although we did eat at several places like Troll Pub Under the Bridge in Louisville and Bourbon on Main in Frankfort. The Stave is a tiny bourbon bar in

Frankfort, Ky., conveniently placed between two of the distilleries we visited (Woodford Reserve and Castle and Key). We sat on the wrap-around porch because it was a gorgeous day. We ordered bourbon cocktails that were made with orange juice and ginger beer, and we both got the Stave Burger ($14).

Pimento cheese is apparently a big thing in Kentucky, and this one-third-pound burger was slathered in a house recipe of the stuff.

It also had candied pork belly, and pickled onion served on a toasted potato bun. Tip for all backyard grillers: toast your buns.

If you find yourself near Frankfort, Ky., stop at The Stave. I do encourage you to call ahead and reserve a spot because Kentucky is a bit behind Indiana on loosening COVID-19 restrictions, and it’s a very small restaurant.

Behind bars: The Cure Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 1.5 oz. gin, .5 oz. cherry liqueur, .75 oz. lemon juice, .75 oz. aquafaba, .75 oz. rosemary-raspberry simple syrup, Rosemary sprig Directions: Dry shake the ingredients, then shake them with ice and double strain into a chilled wine glass. Garnish with a torched rosemary sprig.

Don’t forget your shacket Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Story Inn, Story, Ind. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A fascinating little Story Commentary by Don Knebel Many Hoosiers know about the charm of Nashville, Ind. Fewer know about Story, a unique town 13 miles away.

TRAVEL In 1851, President Millard Fillmore granted a 173-acre tract of land in southern Brown County to George Story, an Ohio physician attracted to the area by its timber. Dr. Story and his family erected buildings on a cleared site, which became known first as “Storyville,” and then simply as “Story.” Within a few years, the unincorporated village was the largest in the area, including homes, a doctor’s office, a general store, a church, a school, a sawmill, a grist mill, a slaughterhouse and a post office. When the general store, which supplied huckster wagons servicing nearby farms, burned in 1915, the owner replaced it with a larger two-story structure. A second general store was added in the 1920s, the peak of the town’s prosperity. The Great Depression, during which Brown County lost half its population, hit Story hard. The creation of Lake Monroe in 1960, cutting off highway access to the town from Blooming-

ton, furthered its decline.

Today, all 14 remaining buildings are operated as Story Inn, a bed and breakfast using the slogan “One inconvenient location since 1851.” The restaurant in the original general store still has Standard Oil crown pumps near the entrance and features stained glass windows, creaky floors, a potbelly stove, rusty farm antiques and the presidential land grant. It is famous for Indiana-inspired gourmet meals. When I ate there last month, the food and service were superb. The five course, prix fixe meal included an egg arpege amuse, featuring poached yolk, trout roe, pickled fennel and matsutake sabayon, and a magnificent caramelized onion soup. Story Inn is near the end of a winding scenic road that runs south from Nashville. The next time you visit Nashville, consider a trip to Story.

It’s that time of year: is it spring yet? Or is it summer? Wait, is it going to get cold again? What? There’s snow in the forecast this week? Maypril GRAMMAR GUY in central Indiana is like a box of chocolates, assuming that box of chocolates was insane and had a personal vendetta against you and your garden.

Enter the shacket. While in New England, a shacket is another name for a yellowjacket or hornet, I’m not talking about flying insects with miniature needles on their butts. No, I’m talking about a piece of clothing that is the hybrid of a shirt and a jacket. It’s a shacket. Picture a thick, slightly oversized flannel shirt for which retailers can charge $130 and you’ll get a good idea of what the shacket is.

Is it too cold to go out with just your regular shirt on? Grab a shacket. Is it too warm for your hoodie? Shacket time. In case you’re not following the right Instagram influencers, just know that the shacket is blowing up everyone’s feeds, stories and reels these days. Yes, this year

the shacket is just the clothing item that will get you through this tricky time of the season when Mother Nature decides to hit you with a late frost around the time you’re scheduling your Memorial Day plans.

What kind of word is “shacket”? If this were the year 2010, we’d call it a “mashup,” but “Glee” is not on the air anymore. First, “shacket” is a neologism, which is a fancy way of saying “a newly coined word.”

More specifically, “shacket” is a type of “word blend” or “portmanteau.” Believe it or not, both of these terms mean the same thing.

Whether you call them “word blends” or “portmanteaus,” this type of word is everywhere. From “jorts” (jeans + shorts) to “turducken” (turkey + duck + chicken) the novelty of newly coined word blends — especially in the case of the shacket — makes for a great hashtag.

Not all breast cancers are the same.

That goes for lung, prostate or any other cancer you may be facing. Thanks to our affiliation with MD Anderson Cancer Network®, Community Health Network offers genomic testing for personalized cancer care. By looking at the specific genetic factors behind your diagnosis, we can provide precise care for your cancer, and your cancer alone.
