Former Marion County detention deputy sent to federal prison

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville resident Jorge Alberto Mateos, 26, a former detention deputy with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in CRIME Indianapolis, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison May 13 for assaulting an inmate.

According to a press release from the U.S. Dept. of Justice, Mateos had previously pleaded guilty to a felony civil rights offense for unreasonable use of force against an inmate in his care.

According to court documents, on the

evening of Sept. 9, 2021, Mateos was on duty as a detention deputy at the Marion County Jail. During the shift, deputies ordered an inmate at the facility to remove his jail-issued shoes. The inmate kicked off his shoes and sat in the corner of his cell.

In response, Mateos entered the cell and told the inmate something to the effect of, “When a deputy tells you to do something, you need to do it.”

Mateos then struck the inmate in the face multiple times, during which time the inmate did not try to resist or fight back.

Mateos continued to strike the inmate after he fell to the ground. According to court

New court to open in January

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County will get a boost in handling its growing caseload when the new Superior Court 7 debuts in January 2023.

Based on state caseload statistics, Hamilton County COUNTY needs 13 judicial officers to handle all the cases filed in its court system, according to Hamilton County Court Administrator Jill Acklin. With the opening of Superior Court 7, it will have 12 judicial officers.

“We will move closer to the actual judicial need dictated by our caseload statistics, which will allow the judiciary to move our cases more quickly and efficiently,” Acklin said.

The Indiana General Assembly passed a bill in 2021 creating the new court after it became apparent there was a need.

“Hamilton County’s growth has caused an increase in caseload and an increase in more complex, multiparty and business cases,” Acklin said. “Hamilton County’s growth, and projections for future growth, outpaced the judicial resources here in Hamilton County compared to other counties in the state. Hamilton County has been high on the list of counties who need additional judicial resources for some time now.”

Superior Court 7 will be a court of general jurisdiction, meaning it can hear civil and criminal cases. The court is funded by the state and Hamilton County, and its opening will not directly increase taxes or fees.

Darren Murphy, a Hamilton County magistrate judge, is set to become the presiding judge in Superior Court 7. He recently defeated Stephenie Gookins in the Republican primary for the position. No Democrat has filed to run against Murphy in the general election.

documents, other detention deputies attempted to deescalate the situation, separated the inmate and Mateos and placed the inmate in handcuffs. Mateos then struck the inmate several additional times. As a result, the inmate sustained injuries.

The FBI investigated the case. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office provided assistance.

The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Chief Judge Tanya Walton Pratt. As part of the sentence, Pratt ordered Mateos be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for one year following his release from prison.

Pratt also ordered Mateos to begin serving his sentence immediately.

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Jeremy Chris, a 45-year-old Atlanta resident, was killed in a motorcycle crash May 16 at 276th Street and Devaney Road in HamFATALITY ilton County near Arcadia.

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the scene at approximately 4 p.m. on reports of a crash that involved a vehicle and a motorcycle. While responding, deputies were advised that CPR was being per-

formed on Chris, who was driving the motorcycle. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.

HCSO’s initial investigation discovered a red Chevrolet Silverado truck was driving westbound on 276th Street when the driver turned left onto Devaney Road. The maneuver brought the truck into the path of the Suzuki motorcycle, driven by Chris, who was traveling eastbound on 276th Street. Both vehicles collided. The crash is still under investigation and no charges have been filed as of press time. The truck driver’s name has not yet been released by HCSO.

Breathe Easy Hamilton County is undergoing changes to its leadership team.

Katie Jensen has been NONPROFIT named executive director, and Erica Strahm has been named youth coordinator. Breathe Easy is a nonprofit working with organizations and individuals within the Hamilton County community to promote tobacco-free living to reduce mortality and morbidity rates.

Stacy London was the past executive director. She has transferred to the Breathe Easy state office.

Jensen will continue to educate the community on tobacco prevention, while Strahm will focus on growing and expanding the VOICE program in all Hamilton County schools. The VOICE program prepares youth to become peer leaders and advocates for the Hamilton County VOICE team. Youth members engage, educate and empower their peers to live tobacco-free lifestyles.

Jensen joined Breathe Easy in March. She lives in Carmel. Strahm lives in Westfield.

“I have really enjoyed getting up to speed,” Jensen said. “Our nonprofit in this county is one of the strongest in the state.”

As executive director, Jensen wants to raise awareness for Breathe Easy Hamilton County and the dangers of tobacco use.

“We want to do this by providing access to the many resources available for prevention and cessation,” she said.

Jensen plans to focus on educating youth before they are confronted with hard choices in their teen years.

Breathe Easy Hamilton County is based in Fishers. For more, visit breatheeasyhamiltoncounty.com.

Spanish teacher gets Noblesville Schools’ top honor

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Lori McGavic was shocked to be awarded the title of 2022 Noblesville Schools Teacher of the EDUCATION Year.

“I work with so many amazing and talented teachers,” McGavic said. “I am just humbled and honored to represent Noblesville Schools.”

McGavic McGavic, a Noblesville West Middle School Spanish teacher, was named the middle school winner and overall district winner.

“One of my greatest joys is when a student shares with me that they have Kundert been able to use the Spanish that they have learned to make connections with others in our community and/or the world,” McGavic said. “Hearing that they are using the language as a bridge to serve others and build positive relationships is what fuels my passion for teaching a world language.”

Named the 2017 Indiana Languages Teacher of the Year, McGavic is referred to by her colleagues as the GOAT, or greatest of all time, according to Noblesville West Middle School Principal Ryan Haughey.

“I absolutely love teaching a Level 1 Spanish class,” McGavic said. “Many of the students in my classes have never studied a second language and are brand new to Spanish. What a joy it is for me to be the one that introduces them to the beauty of the language and Spanish-speaking cultures. In addition, I get to see so much growth over the course of the year.

“It is amazing to see what students can

do from knowing almost nothing at the beginning of the year to knowing so much at the end. I love seeing how proud they are of their own growth.”

This was McGavic’s seventh year teaching at Noblesville West and 15th year teaching overall.

As the overall district winner, McGavic is entered in the state Teacher of the Year competition.

McGavic and her husband and two daughters Costa have lived in Noblesville since 2009.

The high school’s Teacher of the Year winner Laura Costa, who teaches math.

The elementary school winners are Tara Kundert, fifth grade, Noble Crossing EleMoyers mentary, and Kylie Moyers, special education, White River Elementary.

The four educators were selected to represent different academic levels, with two teachers chosen at the elementary level to reflect the fact that 50 percent of Noblesville Schools teachers are in elementary schools.

The teachers were nominated by their respective principals and were selected for the honor by a committee of administrators.

Selection focused on master teachers who excel at putting Noblesville Schools’ mission and vision into action and whose accomplishments align well with the Indiana Dept. of Education’s state Teacher of the Year criteria.

The winners regularly demonstrate the highest levels of quality instruction for their students and leadership among their peers, according to a press release from the school. They will be honored May 26 at a Noblesville Schools Education Foundation recognition dinner.

“One of my greatest joys is when a student shares with me that they have been able to use the Spanish that they have learned to make connections with others in our community and/or the world,” McGavic said. “Hearing that they are using the language as a bridge to serve others and build positive relationships is what fuels my passion for teaching a world language.”

Plant to protect pollinators Commentary by Meredith McCutcheon Trees, flowers and food crops rely on pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, to reproduce, but the ENVIRONMENT number of pollinators has been decreasing.

One way you can help increase this number is to plant a pollinator garden, which includes a variety of native wildflowers that attract and help support pollinators, including the 416 species of bees that call Indiana home. It’s not complicated. In fact, you may already have a pollinator garden in your own backyard or at your workplace, church or favorite park.

The key to a pollinator garden is to use plants that are native to Indiana, which include more than 200 species of wildflowers, trees, shrubs and grasses. The reason native plants are significant is because native pollinators have evolved to depend on native plants.

Most native plants are available in any landscaping or garden center. Because pollinators are attracted to bright colors and varying shapes and sizes, plant variety is important. You can find a list of pollinator

plants at indiananativeplants.org.

Besides adding beauty, pollinator plants soak up more carbon dioxide than turf grasses and have much longer root systems, meaning they prevent erosion by holding soil in place. They can even purify groundwater. Some plants, like echinacea, can be used for medicinal purposes, while others can be used for dyes in clothing.

Avoiding use of pesticides is critical to boosting pollinator gardens. Targeting pests can have devastating consequences to already threatened pollinators, such as monarch butterflies.

So, plant some milkweed this spring. Milkweed is critical to the monarch butterfly’s survival, as it is their only food source. Better yet, plant a pollinator garden without applying pesticides. Giving endangered pollinators an improved habitat is beneficial to all of us.

Meredith McCutcheon is a member of the Carmel Green Initiative.

Senior pitcher’s weight-room work leads to more speed

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com University High School senior pitcher Grayson Knight’s added strength is making quite a difference.

“All of my improvement this year is due to the offseason I had in the weight room,” Knight said. “I started lifting with my strength coach Vern Smith in October.

I completely changed my body as far as strength and explosiveness go. I am a much better athlete, and this has been very clear on my velocity. I’m throwing about 5 to 7 mph harder now than I was last season, and that has made this by far my most dominant season yet.

“I’ve always been able to throw strikes and get outs, but this year my strikeout numbers are up higher than they’ve ever been.”

The 6-foot-4 right-hander has been clocked as high as 92 mph this season.

Knight, who has committed to play for Indiana Wesleyan University next season, had a 5-1 record with a 1.40 earned run average for the Trailblazers as of May 17. He had 63 strikeouts in 35 innings. At the plate, he

had eight hits in 15 at-bats with a home run and triple for the Trailblazers, who were 18-4 as of May 17.

Knight was 5-1 with 3.05 ERA in 2021.

“Grayson is a special talent,” said Ian MacDonald, Indiana Wesleyan’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. “He has the arsenal, pitch ability and makeup to be a starting pitcher at our level. We believe he

is just scratching the surface of the pitcher that he can and will become.”

MacDonald said the staff likes the knowledge Knight can bring to the field.

“He is a student of the game, has tremendous work ethic, is extremely competitive and is trusted and respected by his team-

mates,” MacDonald said. “As a coaching staff, we are excited for the opportunity to be a part of Grayson’s growth, as a person, student, player here at IWU.” Knight, a Westfield resident, said the coaching staff is why he picked IWU. “Coach MacDonald has been someone who I’ve created a great relationship with through the recruiting process, as well as (head coach Rich) Benjamin. They both told me exactly what they think I can do to become a better player and man.”

At the moment, however, Knight is focused on helping University make a run at the Class 2A state championship. The Trailblazers face Speedway May 25 in the first round of the Park Tudor Sectional.

University reached the Class 2A semistate last year before losing to Providence.

University won the Class A state title in 2019. The 2020 season was canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is a much different University team than I have played on in years past,” Knight said. “We are a lot younger after graduating five starters last year. We are a lot younger, but this is the most athletic team we’ve had in a while.”

Barber takes it to the hoop in drive to success

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Allison Barber used a basketball term to describe her approach to her career.

The Indiana Fever presCHAMBER ident and chief operating officer uses the acronym TTH, meaning “to the hoop,” to describe her journey.

“My basketball career started in my driveway and ended in my driveway,” Barber said May 11 as a member of a Women in Sports panel at a OneZone Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Ritz Charles in Carmel. “When my dad and I would play, he would say, ‘Take it to the hoop, kid.’ To the hoop became a strategy of life and career for me.

When you take it to the hoop, you have a goal, you know what you are focused on.

You are playing offense. You are moving toward your goal.”

Barber said it also means a person is taking a risk and willing to seize opportunities even though failure is possible.

“I don’t care if it’s a post-it note you toss in a trash can or shot to win the game, the success is inspiring,” Barber said.

Barber said players draw confidence from making a layup to hit the next shot.

Barber started her career as an elementary school teacher.

“I loved it, but it wasn’t enough,” she said. “My husband was a practicing attorney. The first Gulf War broke out and he said he wanted to serve his country and joined the Army. I quit my job.”

Barber got a job working for Elizabeth Dole at American Red Cross. She then started her own public relations business.

She was later a deputy assistant secretary of defense and special detail to the Office of Global Communications in the White House from 2001 to 2007.

“When I got my first job at the Pentagon, I didn’t know what that was like. I just wanted to serve in my own way,” she said.

When she was asked to work at the White House, she initially told her husband she didn’t want to. When he asked why, she said, ‘If you get in trouble, you are in trouble with the president of the United States.’”

Barber was the chancellor of Western Governors University Indiana, an online school, for nearly nine years. She then was offered the Fever post in 2019.

“The game that I love is now the team

that I get to lead and help make relevant in our city and state for girls and women who want to be in sports,” Barber said.

The other Women in Sports panelists were Katie Kiel, manager of communications and community relations at Invest Hamilton County, and Julie Roe Lach, commissioner of the Horizon League.

Kiel chose pivot for her word, which is actually the word she chose for her year.

Kiel, who raced USAC midgets until she was 21, formerly worked as an auto racing reporter for Indianapolis Motor Speedway Productions and NBC Sports.

“I make a word of the year instead of resolutions because I never keep them,” she said. “It came from reading ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!’ to my daughter. I kept thinking, ‘You need to make a change.’”

Kiel left broadcasting because she said it had become toxic to her mental health.

“I was searching for something to make an impact,” Kiel said. “I’ve made that 360 pivot from broadcasting to impacting Hamilton County.”

Lach, a Carmel resident who is in her first year as commissioner of the Horizon League and seventh year overall with the conference, previously worked at the NCAA. She focused on the word significance. It came from her reading a leadership book called “The Generosity Factor” by Ken Blanchard and Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy.

“The book talks about success and significance and challenges the readers to push past success to significance,” Lach said. “It defines success in simple terms as achievement, wealth and status, and significance as service, impact and relationships.”

At that point, Lach said she was focused on success. But the book made her take stock in if she was doing what she needed to be doing from a significance standpoint.

What’s driving electricity costs?

Commentary by Stan Pinegar Hoosiers are paying more at the grocery and gas pump and may be noticing higher electric bills as well. We want ENERGY to share background on what’s driving Duke Energy electricity costs and what we’re doing to help.

Since mid-2021, costs for coal and gas to produce the energy that powers Indiana homes, businesses and assembly lines have increased significantly. Fuel accounts for a significant portion of our electric costs, averaging as much as 30 percent of a total bill. That’s why when there are volatile energy markets, it can have a big impact.

In fact, Duke Energy Indiana is seeing the highest sustained prices for fuel that we have witnessed in a decade. Global demand and tight fuel supplies as well as labor shortages at coal mines and railroads are affecting the cost of the power we produce as well as what we purchase in the energy markets. We also have been working to overcome supply chain challenges to ensure we have sufficient supplies of fuel available for summer and winter – the times of highest electric demand.

These are not permanent rate increases.

Fuel costs rise and fall, and we pass those costs to our customers with no markup, so customers pay what we pay. Our priority is to purchase fuel at the best possible price, through steps such as long-term contracts and using a diversity of suppliers. To lessen the impact on customer bills, we are spreading recovery of some of these fuel costs over a longer period to reduce the rate impact.

Unfortunately, as we approach the summer, the bill impact will continue to increase, and we expect that to continue throughout the year. If you are struggling financially to pay your electric bill, contact us at 800-521-2232. We can discuss payment plans and resources for help.

We also recommend tools such as High Bill Alerts and Budget Billing that can help customers manage their bills.

Stan Pinegar is the president of Duke Energy.

Dress for WFH success Commentary by Stephanie Grabow

Are you in the WFH forever club? If there’s one thing the last two-plus years have shown us, it’s that you don’t FASHION have to be in a corporate office to make your impact on the world.

I decided to work from home beginning in 2008 — the first six years for an international organization and the past nine years for my own small business, so you’re in good company.

Did you know there is science around how the clothes that you wear for WFH impact your brain activity and productivity?

Through “enclothed cognition” research, scientists study the link between what you wear and how it affects your brain function, emotions and productivity.

It turns out that when you dress for work and Zoom calls, you’re signaling to your brain that it’s time to focus on the task at hand. The right clothes can improve your self-esteem and give you the confidence to nail your presentation on Zoom and go after your dream client.

Wearing your sweatpants and hoodie can

confuse your brain, because it’s thinking it’s time to relax and you’re pushing back with punch lists and performance reviews.

No wonder you feel unmotivated.

Dressing for WFH doesn’t mean that you have to pull out your most uncomfortable pants. It means wearing something on the top of your body in one of your best colors.

That gorgeous color will give you energy, enhance your facial features and help you glow from the inside out. Trust me, that beautiful glow comes through on the Zoom screen.

And here’s a pro tip: Staring at your face in your “wow” color on a Zoom call will also impact the way you feel about yourself. It’s an instant confidence boost!

On the bottom, put on jeans with lots of Lycra, or an elastic waist pant. Something comfy, but not sloppy.

And on your feet? Do what feels good.

Your fuzzy slippers are calling.

Group protests Beaver Materials proposal, county parks department supports it

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Members of the Noblesville Plan Commission members received mixed feedback from the public, from company officials from Beaver Materials and from Hamilton County officials during a May 16 public hearing concerning the proposed Beaver Materials gravel extraction site northwest of Allisonville Road and 191st Street in northern Noblesville.

At the end of the meeting that lasted several hours, the plan commission voted 7-3 to forward the proposal to the Noblesville Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation. The council will vote to approve or deny the proposal in June.

If approved, the project would eventually expand Potter’s Bridge Park by approximately 50 acres. Ten acres would be donated to the park immediately after approval.

When Beaver Materials finishes a five-year process of extracting sand and gravel, the additional 40 acres would be donated to the park. A little more than 8 acres of the site would be used for a residential development. The five-year timeline begins when extraction begins, which could take up to 18 months after approval because Beaver Materials would need to acquire permits from the state. After the extraction process or after the five-year period, the remaining land would be donated to the Hamilton County Parks Dept. to develop as park land. Thirty acres would become a lake for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Land also would be added to Potter’s Bridge Park’s trail system.

Hamilton County Parks Director Chris Stice said the phased park development would likely cost between $1.2 million and $1.6 million, but the Hamilton County Council hasn’t approved funding for the park addition. The county council did submit a letter of support for the project.

The proposal previously appeared before the plan commission in November 2020, but it was withdrawn after the plan commission didn’t send a recommendation to the council after a 5-5 vote, resulting in neither a favorable or unfavorable recommendation.

At that time, Indiana American Water opposed the project, citing concerns of water contamination during extraction. However, when Beaver Materials reintroduced the

proposal this year, it included a water study completed by INTERA, an environmental and water resource consulting firm. The study found any potential contamination to the White River would be “low risk.” The inclusion of the water study and well construction led to a revised letter of neutrality from Indiana American Water.

If approved, Beaver Materials would be responsible for installing two or more wells upstream of wells already in place that provide water from the White River for residential use. The new wells would be designed to catch contaminants soon enough for remediation before contaminated water reached wells for residential use.

“That (study) is a significant report for you guys to have and you didn’t have it last time,” attorney Eric Douthit told the commission. Douthit represents Beaver Materials.

Douthit said Beaver Materials would pay for the two wells recommended by INTERA and any other wells that might be needed throughout the duration of the project.

“This is going to be five years (of extraction) compared to forever, and the park is going to be forever, the residential (development) is going to be forever,” Douthit said.

Don’t Leave it to Beaver, a grassroots organization formed to oppose against the development, commissioned Mundell & Associates, an Indianapolis-based environmental

consulting firm, to assess the INTERA report from the Beaver Materials water study. The Mundell report stated that although Mundell doesn’t take issue with the INTERA report’s hydrogeologic assessment or groundwater modeling elements, it stated it believed the potential risk to the drinking water aquifer and nearby wellfields has not been fully assessed and therefore may not be known.

If approved, gravel and sand extraction activity would be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Many nearby residents are concerned about dump truck traffic for 10 hours daily, as well as noise and dust from the extraction site. The materials would be transported to the Beaver Materials’ facility on River Road for processing.

Although much of the activity is “wet extraction,” as it occurs below water level, Beaver Materials would still be responsible for dust mitigation.

Residents packed the council chambers for the meeting to speak against the development. Their chief concerns were water quality, construction traffic, noise and impact to wildlife.

Despite the water study commissioned

by Beaver Materials, many residents are concerned that “low risk” is still a risk.

Ann Murphy, a Noblesville resident who lives near the proposed development, voiced her opposition.

“My main concern is the water supply

for Hamilton County and for those of us who live nearby,” she said. “Everyone in the county needs to be aware when it comes down to water supply. I have concern based on the water study, which said, depending on how things are done, at minimum there’s a low risk. If we’re that concerned about our water, any risk is too much.”

Murphy opposed the original proposal but didn’t speak at public meetings. This time, she did. She said when the proposal was withdrawn, it felt like a weight off her shoulders. She said she was disappointed when she learned Beaver Materials refiled the petition this year.

Residents and members of Don’t Leave it to Beaver protested the proposal prior to the meeting. Many residents who opposed it the first time but didn’t speak publicly did so this time and protested with signs.

NEXT STEPS: NOBLESVILLE COMMON COUNCIL Although the Noblesville Plan Commission sent the Beaver Materials’ gravel extraction site proposal to the Noblesville Common Council with an unfavorable recommendation, there is still a possibility the Noblesville Common Council could approve the project.

A press release from the organization was published on Don’t Leave it to Beaver’s Facebook page after the May 16 Noblesville Plan Commission vote. It urged residents to continue to take action by writing city council members prior to the June 14 meeting, when the proposal will be introduced to the council. It also encouraged residents to sign a petition available at dontleaveittobeaver.com/ take-action.

The Noblesville Common Council is scheduled to vote on the proposal at its June 28 meeting.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Defense mechanisms

Better late than never

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The best offense is a good defense.

Most of us Hoosiers have been confronted with this aphorism from our youth.

We learn to drive defensively, have a favorite defensive end and some of us advocate for defensive carry. We defend the flag, our honor and our rights. It is a fundamental tenant of the formation of our nation that sets alongside “We the People” in the preamble of the Constitution. Our framers held it to be a vital responsibility of government to “provide for the common defense” but not to ensure a good and aggressive offense.

So, is all this restraint warranted, or even advised? Has it served us to remain in the bunker or have we been better rewarded for hostile marches into enemy territory? Much has been said, in this column and elsewhere, about the pernicious and corrosive effect of remaining in a constant state of preparedness for calamity. When we imagine impending doom, humans develop a significantly shorter life expectancy.

Suicide rates skyrocket and other health problems proliferate. Moreover, countless business and leadership books from “The Art of War” to the current trove of advice tomes nearly uniformly promote direct and decisive assertive action as the way to good health and prosperity.

If we find ourselves always on the defense, can we find our way to happiness? Perhaps there is a space between offense and defense. Perhaps there is a place of informed trust. Perhaps there is a way to be offensive and defensive each in their own measure. Friends simultaneously defend and provoke one another. We are all better for it. The same with loving families and dear colleagues. Is it no better to only protect as to only aggress? If not, how do we defend our solely polar decision?

I finally got a Mother’s Day! After spending the first one feverish with COVID-19, I was successfully able to enjoy a redo this past weekend. And it was glorious!

For starters, I had the house to myself. No husband. No children. Just me and the dog, relishing the quiet and clean. I pseudo-slept in, sipped my coffee while playing Wordle, Globle, Sudoku and a game I simply call Matching Junk, and then puttered around for a bit, watering the houseplants and reorganizing patio furniture.

I eventually drove to Lowes and perused the garden center, allowing myself the pleasure of being slightly overwhelmed by the sheer variety of herbs, vegetables, hanging planters and full-sun flowers I could purchase. After settling on a few items, I headed home to frolic in my 2020 quarantine-project garden beds. Two hours later, covered in potting soil and sweat, I plopped on the couch to grade papers. But I had HGTV’s “Island Hunters” to keep me entertained, so it wasn’t all bad.

By 2 p.m., I was ready for a second cup of Joe and some dream vacation planning. I discovered an off-the-grid, all-inclusive dive resort in the Philippines for only $150 a night! Yes, please.

Around 4 p.m., I decided to use my Teacher Appreciation Week Panera gift card for dinner. Of course, I opted for the broccoli cheddar bread bowl and a side baguette, which I ate/drank while luxuriating in three hours of “The Batman,” without a single interruption. I finished the evening with a delightful walk around the block and a chapter of Michelle Obama’s “Becoming.”

It really was Mother’s Day perfection, even though it was a few Sundays late.

Peace out.

READER’S VIEW

Abortion must remain legal Editor, Before Roe v. Wade, Republicans were pro-choice — the anti-big-government position held it was a personal health and moral choice within individual liberty.

Their politically opportunistic aboutface in the late 1970s has now culminated in the complete opposite of a liberty-protecting ideology. To protect liberty — especially of women — abortion must remain legal. Too many circumstances can lead to unwanted or dangerous pregnancies (including rape, sexual abuse/ trafficking, failed birth control, inadequate sex education and grievous prenatal conditions) for any broad ban to address safely.

With age of puberty onset decreasing, girls as young as 8 or 9 are more often

becoming pregnant when raped — abortion bans infringe on parental rights to make health decisions in these most horrific of circumstances. Even laws that claim to protect abortion in cases of rape and incest must be questioned — those accused of rape are rarely convicted, so how can a woman or family’s right to end a pregnancy hinge upon proving – CHRISTINA DOWNEY her case?

There is nothing conservative about taking away the liberty of a woman or family to determine their own health outcomes. If Roe is overturned and Indiana moves toward further restriction, stand up for the commonsense, liberty-defending position of choice.

Noblesville welcomes new specialty fitness gym

By Jillian Kurtz news@currentnoblesville.com ISI Elite Training, a new specialty fitness gym, is coming to Noblesville.

The athletic-based training center opens June EXERCISE 3 at 14165 Cabela Pkwy. It will offer free pop-up classes leading up to the grand-opening date. The facility is ISI’s first franchise in Indiana.

Jenny Bromley, 42, co-owns the franchise with her husband, Scott. She is also the facility manager.

Bromley, a former personal trainer, has a degree in exercise science and kinesiology from Purdue University.

“Fitness back then was just a different world,” said Bromley, who became a personal trainer immediately after college. “It’s not like today. It was just a little difficult to do that on my own. Even if it wasn’t my full-time job, I was always doing part-time personal training and leading group fitness. It’s something I’ve always kept a part of my life.”

Bromley, who most recently worked in the legal field, and her husband started looking at franchise options when she decided to work in fitness again.

“We wanted something that was a proven concept with that built-in support and business model,” Bromley said. “We stumbled upon and did a little more research on ISI Elite Training. We really liked the way that the workout is structured. We like the philosophy of the workout, we love the company, the people behind it, that’s how we settled on ISI.”

The 50-minute strength-based training sessions target a different part of the body each day. The facility is one large room where members will rotate stations and execute different exercises with the help of board-certified coaches.

Three levels of membership are available, ranging from four sessions per month to an unlimited package. Founding members are eligible for a discount with a locked-in price for the entirety of their membership.

The Bromleys plan to open two more ISI Elite Training facilities in Hamilton County — one in the Westfield area and one in the McCordsville/Fortville area. They want to open each within the next two years.

DISPATCHES Video game stock growth — The video game industry is booming. The global video game market is likely to double to $300 billion in revenue by 2025, according to tech research firm GlobalData, driven by the expansion of mobile-phone and online gaming.

Also, there has been tremendous growth in games played by multiple players over the Internet, such as Fortnite, in which 100 players fight against one another for survival.

Investors should focus on third-party video game publishers with a history of churning out blockbuster games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Their stocks can benefit no matter what platform gamers choose to play on or what business model prevails.

Two attractive video game publishers now are: Activision Blizzard (ATVI) hits include World of Warcraft, which has had $9 billion in revenue since 2004. It partners with YouTube to stream live broadcasts of tournaments for games such as Overwatch and Call of Duty.

Now it looks like choosing the right beverage can also help. Women who sip green or oolong tea may be able to gain extra breast cancer protection, according to a study published in the journal Anticancer Research. Researchers at St. Louis University in Missouri, led by Chunfa Huang, Ph.D., an associate research professor in the department of internal medicine, tested extracts of various teas against several types of breast cancer cells. Huang included extracts from green, oolong, black and other dark teas. His results indicated that green and oolong teas could stop the growth of breast cancer cells; the two types of tea

worked equally well against all the cell lines Huang tested. Black and other dark teas had no effect, he said.

For maximum benefits, you should try to walk at a moderate pace for at least 30 minutes every day. If 30 minutes is too much, start with less time and work up gradually.

IPF grows exercise program

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville-based Indiana Parkinson Foundation’s exercise program is an important part of its mission, and it has resumed in-person classes with PARKINSON’S a program called The Climb, which is also available virtually.

“Once COVID hit (in March 2020), we had to pivot our exercise program to a virtual platform,” said IPF Program Director and co-founder Addie Cunningham, a Noblesville resident. “So, when we closed off and on for the last couple of years, they could still continue to move and be active. Parkinson’s (disease) is very debilitating and isolating.

It’s part of why The Climb communities are so important. They come together, exercise and support one another.”

Cunningham said when that wasn’t possible amid the pandemic, the foundation created iClimb. But there was no budget for it initially.

“Our trainers would do a class from their home, and we would stream it,” Cunningham said. “We would take those classes and create a pre-recorded library for members to complete some of the classes.”

When the Parkinson’s Foundation put out a national opportunity for a community grant, Cunningham applied and received it.

“From there, iClimb has been able to take on a more professional look,” she said.

The foundation did a soft launch of iClimb in March.

“We have a videographer, Johnny McClung, who will come out and film our train-

ers, and the videos are professional,” Cunningham said. “We have an app now, and it can be streamed on a smart TV, a tablet or a phone.”

Cunningham said iClimb is only available with prerecorded classes at $24.99 a month or $275 a year with a free three-day trial.

“The goal is to help more people through our iClimb program,” Cunningham said.

The Climb classes are held in person now.

There are nine Indiana locations, including LivRite Fitness, 13454 Parkside Dr., Fishers.

There is another location at Westminster Village North, 11050 Presbyterian Dr., in the Lawrence area.

Cunningham said The Climb members receive iClimb as part of their membership.

“We’re continually adding new classes and types of exercise, so we can continue to meet the needs of our people,” Cunningham said. “Eventually, the goal is to provide live classes through iClimb, in addition to what we’re doing with the prerecorded classes.”

Some prerecorded classes include stretching, yoga, functional movement, speed and voice, dance therapy and ask the physical therapist.

“Ideally, we want people to come into a location to feel that in-person community, but if that is not possible, this a good second best,” Cunningham said. “The plan is, we’re going to expand into nursing homes and assisted living facilities with iClimb with the option of a livestream within their communities, so they can continue to gather together.”

Center for Performing Arts’ 2022-23 schedule includes new comedy series

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Center for the Performing Arts’ 2022-23 season schedule should be good for a few laughs.

PERFORMANCES For the first time, the season, which was announced May 23, will include a comedy series.

“I’m a big fan of comedy,” said Jeffrey C. McDermott, president and chief executive officer for the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation in Carmel. “I took our comedy course a few years ago and it’s a course I really enjoy. I wanted to see us do more comedy. Frankly, it’s very popular. It tends to make good money for us, which helps us support some of our other mission shows, which may not be as commercially viable to provide for the community. We have three booked so far and we plan to book some others.”

The comedy series includes Lewis Black (Sept. 24), My Name is NOT Mom (Oct. 14) and Kevin Nealon (April 7, 2023).

McDermott said more than 50 performances are set, which is more than the Center has had when making its season announcement. McDermott said he anticipates 15 to 18 more will be added during the season. He said some of the most commercial acts schedule only four or five months in advance. For instance, McDermott noted that John Legend and Sting were added to the 2021-22 season after the initial season announcement.

“I think we have something for everybody, everything from larger commercial artists to great comedy, classical and Songbook (performers),” McDermott said.

Making their Palladium debuts this season are the iconic West African singer Angelique Kidjo, jazz-pop pioneer Herb Alpert, R&B legends Tower of Power and singer-actress Marie Osmond with an orchestra for the holidays.

“Marie Osmond is one we’ve wanted for a long time,” McDermott said. “To get her

SOPHIE FAUGHT QUARTET The Sophie Faught Quartet will perform at 8 p.m. May 27 at the Live at the Center series at the Palladium. Tickets are $5 or register for the free livestream at thecenterpresents.org.

for a holiday show is something people will really be excited about.”

Osmond will appear Dec. 10. Michael Bolton will perform his greatest hits and holiday favorites Dec. 13.

Other returning favorites include Hoosier-born classical performer Joshua Bell, jazz veterans Chris Botti and Boney James and songsmiths Marc Cohn and Shawn Colvin.

In a rescheduled performance from the 2021-22 season, jazz singer Diana Krall will perform Oct. 11.

McDermott is most excited about the rescheduling of a free concert by the U.S. Army Field Band and Soldiers’ Chorus. That performance was set for March 13, 2020, but was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“They were literally loading in when the governor’s executive order came in that performances like ours couldn’t go on,” McDermott said. “It was hard telling them they had to load everything back up. Then we had 1,600 people coming for the free concert, so we had to let them know.”

The U.S. Army Field Band will perform Nov. 10.

One performer who always sells well, Johnny Mathis, will perform Oct. 15 on his Voice of Romance Tour. Michael Feinstein will perform his annual spring concert April 29, 2023. Feinstein will celebrate Judy Gar-

land with a concert production celebrating what would have been her 100th birthday in 2022. Feinstein’s friend, Liza Minnelli, Garland’s daughter, is the executive producer of a multimedia presentation of film clips, photos and rare concert footage.

New this season is a speaker series featuring experts from National Geographic sharing their knowledge of wildlife and exotic corners of the world. Each of the three evening presentations is preceded by a free morning matinee for central Indiana students.

“I expect more National Geographic-type performances,” McDermott said. “We’ve never had them at the Palladium before.

We’ll utilize our big video wall for them. It will be a special series. I think it will be a popular series for us for the paid performances and the educational aspect.”

The Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine will perform Feb. 24, 2023.

“I expect that to be a big audience,” McDermott said. “I think we’re going to see the community really support them. I anticipate we’ll do some sort of fundraising activity to support the people of Ukraine in conjunction with that program.”

McDermott is proud there is a wide range of diversity among the featured artists.

Fishers Arts Council presents ‘The Art of Racing’ editorial@youarecurrent.com Fishers Arts Council continues its 2022 Season of Art at City Hall featuring four artists with the exhibit “The Art of Racing.” The exhibit will run through June 29 to celebrate the heritage of racing in Indiana. Exhibit hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily and 10 a.m. to noon on Saturdays during Fishers Summer Farmers Market.

The featured artists are Greg Clack, David O’Dell, Brenda Jalaie and Mark Rouse. Each shares their own perspective of the art of racing from people in the stands to the cars and racing environment.

O’Dell, a Fishers resident, is a printmaker specializing in serigraphy. He began screen printing at Serigraphics of Indianapolis designing and printing posters for rock bands and other entertainers.

Jalaie will display her photography.

After years of studying, teaching and creating mostly acrylic paintings, Rouse was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy and pronounced legally blind. “One of the things that I feared the most was that I would never paint again,” Rouse said.

However, with the help of hisdoctor, Rouse said his vision is back to normal.

Solving the apostrophe puzzle Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Lewis and Clark sculpture at Falls of the Ohio State Park. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville revisited Commentary by Don Knebel Last week’s visit to Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville outlined the 390-million-year history of its extraorTRAVEL dinary fossil beds. Today, we will explore the human history of the area.

The Falls of the Ohio, which drop 26 feet over 2 miles, are created by outcroppings in the Ohio River between Louisville and Clarksville. Native Americans and bison used the outcroppings as a natural ford. At the time of the American colonies, the falls presented the only barrier to river travel between Pittsburgh and the Gulf of Mexico.

In 1778, during the American Revolution, Col. George Rogers Clark established a settlement on Corn Island, just east of the falls, that became Louisville. In 1803, Clark, by then a Revolutionary War hero, built a retirement cabin above the lower end of the falls on the Indiana side. Later that year, Clark’s brother, William, a surveyor who lived on the family plantation near Louisville, came to George’s house, where he met Capt. Meriwether Lewis, who had traveled down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh. On October 26, 1803, Lewis and Clark set off with a few men down the Ohio River to begin what is now known as the Lewis & Clark Expedition.

The 16,000-square-foot Interpretive Center at Falls of the Ohio State Park, begun in 1992, includes impressive immersive exhibits explaining the human history of the

Replica indentured servant cabin at Falls of the Ohio State Park.

area around Clarksville (named for George Rogers Clark), including that of the Native Americans who once lived there. A large sculpture near the Center remembers the meeting of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. A 7-acre section of the park, separated from the remainder by private property, contains the remains of a reproduction of George Rogers Clark’s house, which burned in 2021, and a log cabin, open for viewing, that represents the home of Venus and Ben McGee, Clark’s African American indentured servants.

I find myself sitting here between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, not knowing who to apologize for the card being late. While I like to GRAMMAR GUY blame the postal service, the reality is that I forgot until the day before the holiday.

Where does the apostrophe go in the aforementioned holidays?

The apostrophe goes before the “s” in both days — Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. The same rule applies to Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and New Year’s Eve. To what can we credit the “apostrophe -s” writing of Mother’s and Father’s Day? Look no further than Anna Jarvis, founder of Mother’s Day. Jarvis’ (1864-1948) mother frequently expressed the desire for a day to celebrate mothers. After her mother died, Anna Jarvis campaigned to make Mother’s Day a holiday. In 1907, Jarvis led the first public observance of Mother’s Day, and by 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared it a national holiday.

Why the “apostrophe -s” writing? That’s

because Jarvis wanted it to be that way.

She emphasized that the holiday was to commemorate one’s own, singular mother (as opposed to all the mothers). Hence, the singular possessive “Mother’s.”

Sonora Smart Todd gets the credit for starting the Father’s Day holiday. While listening to a sermon about Mother’s Day in 1909, Todd decided that she wanted to honor her deceased father in a similar way. Although other U.S. presidents supported Father’s Day, it didn’t become an official national holiday until 1972.

Why doesn’t Veterans Day follow suit with the Mother’s and Father’s Day apostrophe pattern? It is plural because the holiday is a day to celebrate all veterans.

However, it isn’t possessive because it doesn’t belong to any veteran; instead, it’s a day to honor veterans.
