Opposition group wants council to deny Beaver Materials gravel extraction site proposal

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Don’t Leave it to Beaver member Kevin Moloney first met with Beaver Materials officials in 2020 to DEVELOPMENT express his concerns with the company’s proposed gravel extraction site at 191st Street and Allisonville Road.

The proposal was withdrawn and then refiled. Moloney hasn’t met with Beaver Materials since the 2020 meeting, but he said many of his original concerns about the proposal still haven’t been addressed.

If approved, the project would eventually expand the 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 from the site, the additional 40 acres would be donated to the park. A little more than 8 acres would be used for a residential development. After extraction, the remaining land would be donated to Hamilton County Parks Dept. to develop as park land.

Moloney is one of nearly 200 members of the grassroots organization Don’t Leave it to Beaver, which opposes the proposal.

The original proposal was withdrawn after the Noblesville Plan Commission voted in late 2020 to send it to the Noblesville Common Council with no recommendation. It has since been refiled and includes a water study completed by INTERA, an environmental and water resource consulting firm. The study determined that any potential contamination to the White River would be “low risk.” 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 for remediation before they reached residential wells.

Despite the study, Moloney is still concerned about contamination.

“Some of our top concerns are of course the risk the project presents to the water supply,” Moloney said. “There are still unanswered questions about the size of the excavation site and the clarity on that, and whether or not the INTERA report will apply to the entire project. The INTERA report specifies a 12-acre area, but in the project proposal itself there is no specified exca-

vation site and nothing to require Beaver materials to stick to the size that was studied.”

Moloney is concerned the gravel extraction could put the White River water supply at a higher risk. Don’t Leave it to Beaver commissioned Mundell & Associates, an Indianapolis-based environmental consulting firm, to review the report. The review showed that if best practices weren’t followed or if a mistake was made, contaminants could get into the water supply.

The Hoosier Environmental Council also submitted a letter opposing the proposal.

“Mineral extraction and associated construction are the most significant land-altering forces of the 21st century, contributing heavily to climate change and habitat loss worldwide,” the letter stated. “The proposed rezone would allow Beaver Materials to mine aggregate in the floodplain of the White River and then donate the land to the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Department to expand the existing Potter’s Bridge Park. Mining aggregate in the floodplain will promote habitat loss and degrade the White River, impacting the existing Potter’s Bridge Park and the surrounding natural areas. The goal of a park expansion does not have to come at the expense of a five-year mining operation.”

Don’t Leave it to Beaver members are also concerned about the timing of the development.

“Beaver Materials and (the Hamilton Coun-

ty Parks and Recreation Dept.) have been pushing the idea of the park at the front, and they’re just talking about the park,” Moloney said. “But to get to that park, it will take nearly a decade as an industrial site.”

Beaver Materials will have a five-year time limit when extraction begins. But Moloney estimates there will be an 18-month preparation period to obtain permits prior to extraction. He also is concerned that the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. doesn’t have approved funding for the phased park buildout.

The Noblesville Common Council will hear an introduction to the proposal at its June 14 meeting. A public hearing also will take place at that time, when Don’t Leave it to Beaver members plan to present their plan.

The council is scheduled to vote on the proposal at its June 28 meeting.

Don’t Leave it to Beaver member Rachael Raymer said the group plans to speak with city administrators prior to the meeting.

And even if the proposal is denied, Raymer said Don’t Leave it to Beaver will continue looking at other environmental issues in the area.

As of press time, approximately 1,400 people had signed a petition opposing the proposed gravel extraction site.

District, former teacher applaud safety measures

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Emily Crapnell was teaching seventh-grade science to a classroom full of students at Noblesville West SCHOOLS Middle School on May 25, 2018, when she heard a gunshot behind her. Crapnell’s classroom was next to teacher Jason Seaman’s classroom, where a student fired a handgun, injuring a student and Seaman in the process.

Now, whenever Crapnell sees a mass school shooting on the news, such as in Uvalde, Texas, where a shooter killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School, Crapnell gets shaken.

“I get triggered by it obviously because of my experience, but I also feel like an overwhelming sense of just becoming numb to it,” said Crapnell, who resigned from teaching the following year to care for her daughter, who is now 3 1/2. “I feel like we, as a society, have started to become numb because we are always hearing about it.

This is the newest shooting, and then it’s just a matter of time until there’s another one just as horrific. We parents, teachers feel powerless.”

Crapnell, a Noblesville resident, applauds Noblesville Schools’ efforts in establishing safety measures for students.

“I would feel safe sending (my daughter) to school because being a teacher, I know who these teachers are and how much love and care they put into their career,” she said. “School itself is a safe place. From my perspective, it’s the access to guns and gun control that is making any place not safe, whether it’s schools or the grocery store.”

Crapnell said she was grateful for her training as a teacher with Noblesville Schools because when the shooting happened, she and her students were prepared.

“We did have a plan, so I’m grateful for that training,” she said.

Noblesville Schools passed a referendum in November 2018 six months after the Noblesville West Middle School shooting.

The referendum led to extensive safety and security upgrades at the school, totaling $1.75 million of referendum funds. Increased safety measures included enhancing security cameras and emergency communications systems, installing Stop the Bleed kits in all buildings and establishing a safety dog/

handler program. Safety dogs can identify guns and narcotics.

A statement from Noblesville Schools said most of the safety initiatives are districtwide.

“All visitors, including parents and community members, must request access through our outdoor intercom systems, including providing a photo ID. Any school visitors interacting with students are required to have a comprehensive national background check on file that will include monitoring through our Arrest Alert system,” the statement read.

All Noblesville schools complete a safety drill for an active shooter response each year. The drill uses the ALICE model, or alert, lockdown, inform, counter, evacuate.

“The ALICE model is recommended by top school safety experts as the best approach to incidents of violence and was integral to a positive outcome during our 2018 school shooting,” the statement read. “The Indiana state law requires drills 2 times per year but Noblesville Schools chooses to do these 4 times a year due to the importance of the drills. These drills look different at each developmental level. The staff at Noblesville Schools are aware that these drills can trigger physical or emotional responses in students and staff members have been trained to look out for the mental health safety of our students when conducting these drills.”

The referendum also tripled the district’s school resource officer coverage, leading to 12 Noblesville Police Dept. SROs working full time in each of the district’s schools and at after-school events.

“In addition to the many measures noted in the (referendum list), Noblesville Schools use barricading devices on all doors, enhanced safety communication tools, mental health interventions and safety dogs as other layers of prevention and detection in our overall safety plan,” the statement read.

“We have metal detection wands from the state that can be used as needed. We also use a comprehensive safety assessment team and planning to best identify, investigate and address potential threats.

“Safety is an ongoing process and we are always learning new best practices and improving our safety plans.”

COVID-19, Russia-Ukraine conflict impacts nation

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Conversation about the economy has centered on COVID-19 the last two-plus years.

Michael Joyce, president ECONOMY of First Merchants Private Wealth Advisors, said every economic presentation since April or May 2020 has included the number of positive COVID-19 cases.

Joyce, who spoke at the May 25 Noblesville Chamber of Commerce’s State of the Economy at Purgatory Golf Club, said the pandemic has affected the supply chain and inflation. But he said there are other complicating issues as well.

Joyce, a Carmel resident, was preparing to deliver a State of the Economy address in December 2021 when it was postponed.

“The crisis in Ukraine was not in my materials in December,” Joyce said. “This is a humanitarian issue and this is a geopolitical issue. I’m not qualified to talk about those two things. I’m mildly qualified to talk about the economic impact of the Russian-Ukraine issue that is going on right now.”

Joyce said Russia is not an economic

powerhouse, making up less than 2 percent of global gross domestic product market.

“However, they control some very key inputs for the global marketplace, particularly around energy and broader commodities, particularly in the agricultural space,” he said. “Eleven percent of the world’s wheat comes from Russia.”

Another 2 percent of the world’s wheat comes from Ukraine.

Joyce said wheat is a key input for global

supply chains “You can see the impact the RussiaUkraine crisis could have in the coming weeks,” Joyce said. “As the planting season has been missed in Ukraine and Russia because of this conflict, the global supply of wheat is about six weeks’ worth. You could start running into some downstream effects of there not being enough wheat in the world.”

Joyce said northern Africa gets more than 8 percent of its wheat from the Russia-Ukraine region.

“Nothing will cause unrest like not being able to feed people,” Joyce said.

Joyce said the Russian-Ukraine crisis has dealt a shock to commodities, particularly energy, grains and select individual metals such as aluminum, nickel and zinc.

The most noticeable shock is the cost of gasoline.

Joyce said the slowdown in China’s economic growth has created additional issues.

He said China is hampered by much stricter COVID-19 regulations, causing shutdowns.

“That is part of what has been driving inflation higher,” he said.

Joyce said unemployment in the U.S

spiked to 14.7 percent on April 30, 2020. Two years later, the unemployment rate is 3.6 percent.

“It’s almost historical lows,” Joyce said.

“You look on the surface, and that appears to be a good thing. The unemployment rate doesn’t tell us the full scope of the story. You have a low unemployment rate, but then you have a rapidly rising average hourly wage. If you run your own company, you know it’s hard to find people. When you do find people, it’s hard to be able to pay them.”

Joyce also addressed core inflation.

“Things that are flexible like energy, food, we’re used to one week that eggs might be more expensive than the previous week,” he said. “There is always that volatility, but it’s the sticky items that the economy can handle a little less movement because they stick around for a long time. We’re thinking about health care, education and rent. If you look back at the 1970s, you had pressure on both sticky goods and flexible goods. Since the 1980s, we’ve not had that. Economists and the (Federal Reserve) in the last few months are starting to see an increase in the price of those sticky items.”

Duke Energy plans new substation in Westfield

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield and Noblesville residents will have an opportunity to view conceptual plans and ask questions reUTILITIES garding a new Duke Energy substation and transmission lines during virtual and in-person information sessions this month.

Duke Energy plans to construct two new transmission lines and one new substation near the intersection of Ind. 32 and Moontown Road on the Westfield/Noblesville border. Residents can attend an information session at 6 p.m. or 7:15 p.m. June 7 and June 9 virtually or attend in-person from 6 to 8 p.m. June 21 at Grand Park Events Center, 19000 Grand Park Blvd., Westfield.

Transmission lines will be constructed first to power the substation. Duke Energy Community Relations Manager Mark LaBarr said the company is constructing the transmission lines and substation because of growth in the Westfield area.

“If we don’t address growth, there is concern with reliability and not being able to meet that demand,” LaBarr said. “We all expect when we flip the light switch or turn the appliance on that the electric energy is

going to be there when we need it.”

The substation will be constructed in the southeast quadrant of Ind. 32 and Gray Road.

“There’s going to be a structure on that site. There will be a transformer in there,” LaBarr said. “Some of those things may be 15 feet high. Some poles in there will be higher than that, maybe 50 or 60 feet tall.”

The public comment period for the project runs until late July. Duke Energy will announce its preferred route for the transmission lines later this summer. LaBarr expects construction to begin in 2024.

“This is along with the growth of the community occurring all over Hamilton County,” LaBarr said. “Westfield, their growth since 2000 has nearly quadrupled.

A substation like this and the need to bring lines into it to energize it will continue our mission to provide safe, reliable energy to serve these developing communities.”

LaBarr said the substation will serve Westfield and Noblesville residents.

“This helps strengthen the resiliency of our system in this area to prevent outages and speed up the restoration time,” he said.

Two Hamilton County farms are USDA-certified for organic practices

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Katy Rogers and Kyle Heiny believe they operate the only two USDA-certified organic farms in Hamilton County. And maintaining them is no easy chore.

“The record keeping is pretty intense,” said Rogers, who is the manager of Teter Organic Farm in northern Noblesville.

To become USDA-certified organic, the process takes at least three years to allow the soil to recover from non-organic chemicals previously used. But because of Rogers a fortunate circumstance, Heiny didn’t have to wait three years.

“The property I owned we had bought, and it had been vacant for five years ahead of time,” said Heiny, who owns Green Growers in Sheridan. “I started my farm using organic practices knowing I would transition at some point.”

Heiny Strict annual practices must be followed to ensure the farms are organic. Certified organic farmers must keep meticulous records on how they make their compost and inputs from seed to harvest such as fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides. All products used must be approved and documented. Water and soil tests are performed annually.

“For example, we have 42 varieties going in the ground this year, and we have multiple plantings for almost every one of those,” Rogers said. “The organic inspector, in addition to checking financials and testing and purchases, will go through the crop plan and pick crops and I have to show a record of that crop’s seed purchase all the way through how we harvest.”

However, it all pays off at harvest time. “(Organic) is shorthand (information) for the public,” Rogers said. “Certified organic is shorthand for, ‘My baseline practices are at least this good.’”

Organic labels on products at grocery stores or farmers markets reflect that the was food grown without synthetic chemicals. But for Rogers and Heiny, organic farming means much more than that.

“Ideally, organic agriculture is about an ecological approach to soil health, stewardship, pest management,” Rogers said. “It’s keeping all of this in mind, the entire picture in mind, and viewing it as an ecosystem. Anytime you disrupt that ecosystem, there’s repercussions. In organic agriculture, the idea is to mitigate those repercussions to minimalize the negative impacts.

“Instead of approaching agriculture as chemistry, we approach it as biology, physics and chemistry.”

Rogers and Heiny have booths at the Noblesville Farmers Market.

“Our products don’t go to the supermarket,” Heiny said.

“We do farmers markets, so we have to educate people and provide validity to our growing practices. Having a certification is another level of validation that what you’re doing is legitimate.”

Rogers, who has operated a farmers market for several years, said there are loopholes some vendors can take, such as purchasing produce at a produce auction or produce market and then selling it at the farmers market. A common example is when vegetables are sold out of season at the farmers market, such as tomatoes being sold in Indiana in May. However, Heiny said he knows some farmers who have the resources available to grow tomatoes in hot houses starting in December and have their own products available out of season. The key for customers finding out is to ask questions, such as, “Is this product non-GMO?” or to look for labels like USDA organic, certified naturally grown, regenerative agriculture or Real Organic Project.

“Knowing the amount of energy and effort we are putting into doing this, we just want those participating in the market to be legitimate,” Heiny said. “We are so glad (the market) is giving us this hyper-local outlet.”

FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL STANDARDS Besides being USDA-certified organic, Teter Organic Farm in Noblesville is certified through the Real Organic Project. Green Growers in Sheridan is working on its certification as well.

Real Organic Project, a grassroots organization, is an additional certification from with a higher standard than USDA-certified organic.

“They come out and instead of checking my paperwork, they came out and walked my operation and interacted with my soil and checked my plants and stuff to make sure it wasn’t just happening on paper,” Rogers said. “They wanted to talk about our ethos, like, ‘How do you make decisions?’ or, ‘What are you going to do about the thrips (tiny winged insects)?’”

HUMOR

Last but not least?

On a more serious note

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

We cannot miss school on the day when we are to be line leader, the person assuming the important role of guiding a procession of fellow students from the classroom to the next activity.

While some might imagine the position to be largely ceremonial, the savvy elementary pupil will argue it to be filled with responsibility and rife with potential for disaster. What if a wrong turn is made? What if an untied shoelace leads to an embarrassing trip?

Why is it worth the risk? Isn’t getting a break from the toils of the day — a moment to talk to friends, enjoy some tater tots or run on the playground — enough? Would we care if our day were overshot, and we were sentenced to be perpetually the fourth person in line?

Others would be behind, at times, but always someone would be ahead. As we mature into adulthood, this echo from our collective childhood hangs with us. While we enjoy travel, sailing on the open water, eating great food and watching the home team, many of us remain aware not of the destination of the line and how lucky we are to be in it but of our specific position within its ranks.

We may board the plane first because of the credit card we’ve chosen but there is always someone before us. We may love our watercraft until we see the one sail by sleeker and more spacious. We may enjoy our delicious meal but lament that a reservation had denied us finding an establishment with a slightly higher rating. And we enjoy our sport tickets but wish ourselves to be a few rows closer. Why is it so frustrating for so many of us to be the worst of the best, the last to board first class?

Let’s talk mental health, friends. Undeniably, the last two years have been hard for most. For me, personally, I also lost my dad to cancer and turned 50, which surprisingly has been like a physical “off switch.” My eyesight is tanking, mood swings are elevating, and I can’t seem to shake the nagging tendonitis in my right shoulder. Needless to say, I’ve noticed an uptick in irritability and anger, especially when I am around my husband, Doo. From his eating granola to his dishwashing avoidance, his latenight Netflix binges to his early morning interruptions of my sacred bathroom routine, he manages We must prioritize to push and destigmatize the every sinconversations around gle one of mental health. my buttons on a pretty – DANIELLE WILSON regular basis. This isn’t new, but between the perimenopausal hormones, the last kiddo getting ready to fly the nest and the events of an almost inconceivable 2020 and 2021, my patience has gone the way of my continence. And I’m really tired of being mean to the ones I love.

So, I’ve started seeing a therapist. Yeah, I said it. I’m in therapy! And it’s glorious!

I’m able to share whatever I want without fear of judgement and in return receive new insight and practical feedback. I even have a workbook! I’m finally working on the things I can control and learning how to, if not exactly let go of, then at least obsess less over the things I can’t, like the stupid dishes. I’m not there yet, obviously, but I have noticed an easing of crankiness and resentment towards Doo. Friends, these are still difficult days.

We must prioritize and destigmatize the conversations around mental health.

Let’s talk about it! Peace out.

The Wine Trough quenches thirst on the go

By Chris Bavender news@currentnoblesville.com Noblesville resident Lacy Clark took a leap to do something many people dream about but few accomplish NEW BIZ — leaving a corporate job to follow a passion. Clark owns a food truck called The Wine Trough, which provides wine tastings, wine by the glass, beer, wine-based cocktails and small plates.

“It was the perfect timing for me,” Clark said. “I was just phasing out of one job and getting ready to enjoy the summer with my kiddos. I bought the trailer in May and opened (The Wine Trough) in June 2021.”

Clark started looking for trailers during the COVID-19 pandemic but wanted something unique.

“This was an old paragliding trailer and was the perfect blank canvas for my creation,” she said. “We were up and running with permits in four weeks.”

Clark chose the name The Wine Trough because she loved the rustic vibe and wanted to focus on her passion of being a sommelier.

“We had lots of horse decorations and hand-me-down farm decor from our families, so it just came together,” Clark said.

The Wine Trough prides itself on being “super, super local.”

“Our wine is from a local husband-andwife company in Noblesville, Country Moon,”

Clark said. “Our beer is from all over Indiana, and our spirits are from Indianapolis. We try to buy and source everything that keeps our money here where we live.”

Clark has no regrets about following her dream.

“My kids get to be a part of some events.

They have seen me on TV with The Wine Trough twice now and on YouTube, which to them is pretty awesome,” she said. “Plus, my husband and I have traveled together doing this and met some really great people. It’s fun to work.”

DISPATCHES Indiana among least likely to tolerate impaired employees — Have you ever been tempted to have a drink while on the clock? In a professional workplace, it may be ‘gross misconduct’ and could lead to immediate dismissal without the option to collect unemployment. Most private companies are not mandated by law to have drug-free workplace policies; however, there are exceptions. Workers in safety and security-sensitive industries, as well as federal employees are required to maintain sobriety in the workplace under the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. DrugAbuse.com conducted a survey of 3,700 employers across the U.S., asking them to rank their tolerance of intoxication in the workplace from 1 to 10 (1 being the most tolerant and 10 being the least).

The survey revealed that overall, employers in the state of Indiana are among the least tolerant of drunk or high employees, with a ranking of 5/10. Employers in Connecticut, Maine and Nebraska were found to be the most tolerant of employee intoxication with an average tolerance ranking of 3/10. The survey also delved into different industries to find out which are most and least tolerant when it comes to being intoxicated on the job. Employers in the banking and real estate industry were found to be equally tolerant (2/10).

postings that it’s tiring to sort through them for legitimate opportunities. Two websites do a pretty good job of screening their postings. Flexjobs.com does charge a small fee, about $50 per year to access its database of listings. RatRaceRebellion.com is free to but is fairly legitimate.

Source: BottomLineInc.com New car replacement insurance — Typical insurance policies only pay a depreciated value for your car if it’s totaled in an accident. Recent ads offering full replacement cost are very common. They don’t, however, tell the whole story. Full replacement cost coverage will increase your premium by at least 15 percent and is only good for a limited time period, or specific number of miles. It might not be worth the extra premiums given the chance of totaling your car is less than 1 percent in a year.

Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation.

Musical shares WWII couples’ love stories

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Christine Colquitt Thacker is eager to see the love story of her late grandparents depicted on stage.

PERFORMANCE John and Becky Colquitt’s romance is one of eight stories featured in “I’ll Be Seeing You: Love Stories of World War II,” which is set for 8 p.m. June 11 at the Palladium at the Center at the Performing Arts in Carmel. The work is the creation of Carmel resident Ellen Kingston, the director of special events for the Center.

John Colquitt met Becky before he left for World War II. He was stationed in the Philippines.

“My great grandmother wasn’t entirely crazy about John Colquitt, but my grandmother said she wasn’t going to have anyone else,” Colquitt Thacker said. “They got married and started a family. They raised four sons and all the boys went off to serve in the military in some capacity.

They just had an amazing, beautiful family life. They were the center of their community. They served in their church.”

Colquitt Thacker said her grandfather served in an all-Black unit.

“His story is kind of different from going into World War II and coming back to the United States where he wasn’t really able to vote yet,” Colquitt Thacker said. “He had a love for country, and his feelings of duty and service, no matter what, is really beautiful.”

Colquitt Thacker said his unit captured an enemy troop.

“There was a certain level of irony when they were captured by a Black unit,’ she said of her grandfather, who earned two Bronze Stars.

Colquitt Thacker’s father, Michael, will be among those attending. Colquitt Thacker, a Noblesville resident, and Kingston are friends, having worked together in Yuletide with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Colquitt Thacker is an assistant professor of dance at Anderson University.

Another story told will be that of Harry and Eleanor McCafferty. Their son Dennis is a retired cello instructor from the Uni-

versity of Indianapolis. His wife, Anne, is a retired Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra member.

Harry, 97, primarily served in China for the U.S. Army during World War II. He was a cartographer, drawing troop maps from aerial reconnaissance.

“He’s in good health but he’s not very mobile,” Dennis said. “He can’t really travel.

But the rest of the family will be here for him. I have two sisters and a brother-inlaw. Our son is coming down from Chicago.”

Harry and Eleanor met in Columbus, Ohio, before the war.

“They were married in Washington, D.C., right before he shipped out,” Dennis said.

“My mother has saved the letters he had written during the war. He did a lot of drawing and painting, so a lot of the letters were illustrated that he sent back.”

Dennis said it will be special to see his parents’ love story played out.

“We went through the memorabilia and the stuff she had saved,” Dennis said.

“They had been packed away for several years and he hadn’t seen it forever. He had a terrific time going through it. It was a meaningful experience for him to see

these things. It spurred him telling us stories that we had never heard before.”

The show also includes the story of Bud and Maida Hyde, who were married in 1942. Kingston said Bud wrote Maida consistently and she kept all the letters. Their love story tragically ended when Bud’s plane was shot down during a mission over Tokyo. Matthew Vire, who is performing in the show, shared the story of Bud and Maida, who were the grandparents of Kevin Wanzer.

“We are delighted with the narration Ellen wrote for my in-laws’ story and honored that she chose to include them,” said Vire, who lives in Indianapolis. “We dug up some great old photos and, shown in the context of their story, it’s extremely moving. I’m always very happy to do anything with Ellen. She’s extraordinarily creative, gracious and a joy to work with. This particular show is especially thrilling because we get to do it at the Palladium. To sing on that stage is indescribably wonderful. My mother-in-law (Maida’s daughter) will fly in from Florida to see the show. She’s excited and we’re so looking forward to that.”

Charles Haas acknowledged he had stage fright when he was younger.

But a little shove from his THEATER mother, theater veteran Tanya Haas, was all he needed to overcome it.

“In 2016, she pushed me to do a Christmas show at Carmel Community Players,” Charles said. “I had an absolute blast and that kickstarted my interest in doing theater.”

Charles is in two of the three shows that make up “A Medley of Murders,” which is Carmel Community Players’ youth production set for June 10 to 19 at Carmel Friends Church, 651 Main St. Charles appears in “Murder at the Art Show” and “Death of a Dead Guy.” The other short play is “Cheating Death.”

“It’s fun getting to play more than one character,” said Charles, a Carmel resident who will be a senior at Cathedral High School. “My characters are relatively different types of people. They’re lighthearted comedy, not dark, deep heavy stuff.”

Tanya is directing the youth show with a cast of 15.

Jayda Glynn, who will be a Carmel High School senior in August, previously performed in “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” at CCP. “I’ve done plays around Carmel and other community theaters,” Glynn said. “I do like working with people my own age. This feels very welcoming, and you get to know your cast.”

Glynn appears in “Murder in the Art Show,” which is the second act of the show.

Squaring circular phrases Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

The Borghese Gallery in Rome. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Visiting Rome’s Borghese Gallery Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in the continuing series about Rome, we visit the Borghese Gallery, displaying one of the world’s TRAVEL greatest art collections.

In 1605, soon after his election, Pope Paul V named Scipione Borghese, his favorite nephew, cardinal and appointed him to many lucrative church positions, including papal secretary. Using his enormous wealth and the coercive powers of his offices, Cardinal Borghese assembled the best art in Italy, ranging from Roman and Egyptian antiquities to paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, Rubens and Titian. He commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the leading sculptor of his age, to create enormous works based on Greek and Roman mythology. To display his massive collection and to entertain his important friends, beginning in 1608 Cardinal Borghese built a 20-room villa on several hundred acres just outside Rome given to him by Pope Paul. The land itself featured gardens displaying important works.

Cardinal Borghese’s land and villa stayed in the Borghese family until 1902, when the Italian state acquired them. Today, the villa is open to the public as the Borghese Gallery, and the surrounding land is a large park. The gallery contains most of the cardinal’s extraordinary collection, including definitive paintings by Caravaggio, and important works added by his descendants.

Fourth-century mosaics on the floor of the entrance hall provide unique information about Roman gladiators. The many displayed works of Bernini, representing much of his life’s work, include two nearly identi-

Caravaggio’s painting of Saint Jerome in the Borghese Gallery.

Canova’s sculpture, “Paolina Borghese Bonaparte as Venus,” in the Borghese Gallery.

cal busts of Cardinal Borghese, the second reportedly created in three days after the first developed a crack, and a remarkably expressive statue of David about to release his slingshot. An important 19th-century sculpture by Canova, commissioned by Camillo Borghese, shows Napoleon’s sister Paolina, then Camillo’s wife, as Venus. If you are in Rome and miss the Borghese Gallery, you will have missed one of the city’s most important treasures.

Today, I’m tackling “square” phrases.

What do they mean, and how did we get them?

GRAMMAR GUY If I had a nickel for every time someone called me “square,” I’d be able to retire from being a part-time columnist. “He’s such a square.” In this usage, “square” means nerd, geek, old-fashioned, unpopular, or dorky. It’s middle school all over again. We get this slang usage of square from jazz musicians in the 1940s to refer to a person who didn’t appreciate jazz, but instead preferred passé, oldey-timey music. Back then, it wasn’t hip to be square.

Is that a square deal? What exactly is a square deal? Simply stated, a square deal is a fair, honest trade or transaction.

Teddy Roosevelt liked the term so much that he attached it to his labor reform initiatives during the early 1900s. The term “square deal” first shows up in print in the New York Times in the 1870s and 1880s to refer to a fair arrangement. As good writers are wont to do, Teddy stole

“square deal” and made it his own.

What is a square meal? Is it a lunch comprised of bouillon cubes and saltine crackers? Don’t be ridiculous! A square meal means “a healthy, nourishing meal.”

Have you ever heard someone use the term “square the circle”? It means someone is attempting to complete a seemingly impossible task. It could also mean someone is trying to bring together two parties who are completely different.

Oil and water. Democrat and Republican.

Sooner and Longhorn. “Square the circle” is a phrase we get from geometry; in fact, Greek mathematicians posed the problem of constructing a square with the area of a circle with only a compass and a straightedge. What does that mean? I’m not sure; I don’t let things like this get me bent out of shape.
