Hamilton County Council AVOID FOOT SURGERY approves career center funding with MLS Laser Therapy

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

At its June 3 meeting, the Hamilton County Council agreed to fund $425,000 over three EDUCATION years to support early implementation stages of the Hamilton County Center for Career Achievement.

The career center is Nation a partnership between local school districts and other groups in Hamilton County to offer CTE, or career and technical education, pathways for students in trades such as energy and agriculture science, and skilled trades such as construction management, exercise science and other disciplines. Instead of constructing a career center, the school districts in Hamilton County are pledging to partner with other entities such as local chambers of commerce and the county to offer CTE programs. The funding will go toward hiring an executive director for the career center, funding research and development and implementing alignment and enrollment.

“This is an exciting time for the students in Hamilton County who will soon have access to new career considerations,” Hamilton County Councilor Steve Nation stated.

Nation and Hamilton County Councilor Ken Alexander encouraged the council to consider funding the initiative.

The career center executive director will work with county leadership, the school districts, chambers of commerce and other Hamilton County Economic Development Corp. stakeholders to create a five-year plan to detail what opportunities are currently

available for high school CTE and ensure offerings at the new center meet the needs of students and employers.

Currently, 2 percent of the county’s students participate in CTE programs, but the council expects the number to increase when the offerings are available nearer to home. Now, students must travel to career centers in Marion County and other areas to receive CTE. Alexander “We have already seen this happen at Hamilton Heights,” Hamilton Heights Supt. Derek Arrowood stated. “Three years ago, we started our own construction trades program with seven students. This fall we have 130 students enrolled in the same program. If we can offer these programs locally, we can dramatically increase the opportunities for our students locally.”

Alexander said approving a career center will benefit economic development in the county.

“Economic development is the life blood of our communities and with the growth of the county and increased need for a skilled workforce to support our local companies, this cross-community model will allow our schools to partner with the business community and Ivy Tech to best support the needs of each community and the County as a whole,” Alexander stated.

The career center is expected to offer programs for the 2023-24 school year. After two years at full student capacity, the center will be self-funded.

The center was approved 6-1, with Brad Beaver voting against funding. For more, visit hamiltoncounty.in.gov.

“Economic development is the life blood of our communities and with the growth of the county and increased need for a skilled workforce to support our local companies, this crosscommunity model will allow our schools to partner with the business community and Ivy Tech to best support the needs of each community and the County as a whole.”

Gaylor Electric donates $25,000 to Humane Society

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Gaylor Electric recently conducted its inaugural Sporting Clay Event, which raised $25,000 for the Humane GIVING BACK Society for Hamilton County. The funds will go toward life-saving animal care, spaying and neutering and costs the shelter acquires while caring for animals in the facility.

“The Humane Society for Hamilton County is grateful beyond words for Gaylor Electric’s support and efforts in putting together this fundraiser, along with all of their support in putting together our new

facility,” HSHC President and CEO Rebecca Stevens stated. “We couldn’t have done it without them.”

HSHC recently opened a new facility in Fishers in April, and Gaylor Electric assisted with construction. Since then, the two organizations have continued to partner.

“The Sporting Clay fundraiser was a tremendous success,” Gaylor Electric COO Rob Griffith stated. “We were extremely honored to be a part of HSHC’s new building and milestone within their organization. Rebecca and her team continue to go above and beyond in our community — it only felt right to do something for them in return.”

Liam and Reece Kelly Memorial Jeep Ride and 5K Run set

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Siblings Liam and Reece Kelly were passionate about running, riding in Liam’s Jeep and flying airplanes.

FUNDRAISER Tragically, the Westfield High School students were killed in an airplane accident, along with the pilot, Jerral Alan Long, Sept.

20, 2020, during an airshow at Glenndale Airport in Kokomo.

Liam, a senior, and Reece, a sophomore, were members of the WHS boys cross country team.

To honor their memory, their parents, Patrick and Kesha Kelly, created the Liam & Reece Kelly Foundation.

The family issued nine scholarships totaling $12,000 to WHS graduating seniors who competed in cross country and track and field. The money was raised through friends, family, community and businesses.

To help replenish the funds for future scholarships, the inaugural Liam and Reece Kelly Memorial Jeep Ride and 5K Run will be held at 8 a.m. June 19 at Monon Trail Elementary, 19400 Tomlinson Rd., Westfield.

“When this happened, the people who came out in support of us was unreal, and they continue to show up,” Kesha said. “The amount of people that are helping us put this whole event together is also amazing.

Everyone is volunteering their time and talent. We’re lucky to be blessed with friends with a lot of talent. It’s a time to come together and celebrate the life of Liam and Reece, remember them. It showed people loved them and they love us. It’s the main thing that helps with our grieving process.

Otherwise, it’s a pretty miserable existence, honestly.”

After the race, a Jeep caravan will drive past some of the boys’ favorite places, including WHS, Sheridan Airport and their home. The procession will end at Grace Church in Noblesville, the family’s church.

“The family Jeeps will pull out first and all the other Jeeps will pass seven of the boys’ favorite places,” Kesha said.

Another stop on the Jeep ride will be MacGregor Park, where a trailhead marker has been placed as a memorial to the brothers, who loved running on the trail.

The idea came from Kyler Koning, a cross country teammate, and his father, Brian.

After receiving approval from the Westfield Parks Board, Brian said he created a design.

“Kyler and I started a GoFundMe and raised the $3,700 needed to purchase the plaque,” Brian said.

One of Patrick Kelly’s college friends suggested creating the scholarship foundation.

“We set it up through the Westfield Booster Club because we could do it very quickly,” Kesha said. “Now, we are transitioning to our own foundation, but we’re still with the Booster Club right now.”

Members of the Flying Squirrels, a flight club for ages 14-18, the brothers aspired to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy and were posthumously awarded honorary nominations and appointments the Academy in October 2020.

There will be a silent auction at the race.

A merchandise table will be set with shirts, bracelets, stickers and window clings for sale.

Guerin Catholic lacrosse players celebrate tbe state championship win. (Photo by Mike Navarro)

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Every year, Guerin Catholic High School boys lacrosse coach Charlie Barry asks his seniors to pick a key word for SPORTS the season.

“They chose the word ‘believe,’” Barry said. “I tell the boys the power of self-belief is the greatest super power known to man. The boys bought into that.”

That came in handy June 5 when the Golden Eagles rallied for a 6-5 victory over South Bend St. Joseph in the Indiana High School Lacrosse Association Class 1A championship at Hamilton Southeastern High School.

Guerin trailed 2-0 in the final.

“The belief didn’t falter when we were down and it didn’t falter when we were tied,” Barry said. “Their belief outweighs everyone else’s doubt, which I think is really important. Even when we were down 2-0, we never came from behind to win a game this year, we were always in the lead.”

Senior Luke Abell was named Offensive Most Valuable Player in the championship, scoring four goals. He scored the winning goal with approximately a minute left.

Junior Luke Truffer and senior Raph Raney each scored a goal Guerin finished with a 13-4 record in winning its first state boys lacrosse title. In 2019, the Golden Eagles lost to Cathedral in the state semifinals. The 2020 season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Barry said the team came up with four key factors which will lead to success.

“The first thing is do your job. You’re in

the right place at the right time,” Barry said.

“You’re doing your assignments on and off the field. The second one is grit. Having the intestinal fortitude to fight through the adversity, to win ground balls, to never give up. The third one is redefine your best. You have to seek ways to constantly improve around other high achievers. The last one was ‘all in, all the time.’”

Barry said lacrosse can be a game of runs, scoring points quickly.

“We want the kids to have a short memory of the bad, but celebrate everything in the moment,” said Barry, a Carmel resident.

Abell, a Fishers resident, was named a USA Lacrosse All-American, which is voted by state coaches, Abell, Raney and senior Thomas Berger were named first team all-state. Senior Max McGreal was named honorable mention.

Abell, Rainey, Berger, McGreal and freshman Cooper Navarro were named Class 1A first team Navarro is one of several key returners next season.

“At one time we started five freshmen,” Barry said.

Barry has been the Guerin head coach for five seasons and previously spent two seasons as an assistant coach.

A Penn High School graduate, Barry played for South Bend St. Joseph during high school because Penn didn’t have a team. He later served as a St. Joseph assistant coach for two seasons.

“I love seeing St. Joseph do well,” he said.

“I cheer for them all the time, but not today (in the final). It’s not your day, St. Joe.”

The First Presbyterian Church of Noblesville’s Red Geranium Artisan Market features a marketplace with flowers, artwork, live music and more. (Submitted photo)

Geranium market returns

By Haley Miller news@currentnoblesville.com First Presbyterian Church of Noblesville will hold its sixth annual Red Geranium Artisan Market Aug. 21, with more EVENT than 50 booths available inside and outside the church. Shoppers can expect to find items similar to those in an open-air market, such as antiques, pottery, jewelry, clothing and art.

“We call it an artisan market because we want people to feel like they’re walking around a marketplace with flowers and artwork and live music and the good smells of food,” mission elder Jennie Auble said. “Just lots of fellowship and community.”

The market will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

All proceeds will fund local, national and international mission trips.

“We try to divide it up in a proportional way as far as their needs and what we have,” Auble said. “Everything we take in goes right back out again.”

Admission to the artisan market is free, but Auble said the church requests guests bring a canned or boxed food item to donate to an on-site food collection, if possible.

The Red Geranium Artisan Market is a pet-friendly event.

“It’s a fun place,” Auble said. “People are laughing, people are visiting. It’s a good time.”

Auble said market attendance exploded last year during the coronavirus pandemic. She estimated that slightly more than 1,000 people attended, compared to 300 the first year.

“We’re a very welcoming group of people, and we would love to show off our area and have them enjoy our market,” Auble said.

NHS student seeks to become female Eagle Scout

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Shaylah Barratt discovered Girl Scouts wasn’t for her in fifth grade and decided to quit.

“We didn’t do any of the campouts that the boys do,” said Barratt, who recently completed her freshman year at Noblesville High School.

The Boy Scouts of America officially began allowing girls to join in 2019. Barratt joined Troop 1920 in March 2019.

“Our troop goes camping once a month, which is different from Girl Scouts,” she said. “I like to go hiking.”

Barratt said she found more opportunities to lead than in Girls Scouts.

“In Scouting, we get to learn how to be a good leader,” Barratt said.

Since joining, Barratt has worked to get all the merit badges needed to qualify for Eagle Scout and is working on her project now.

“I only have one badge (personal management) to finish along with my Eagle project,” said Barratt, who is seeking to become one of the first female Eagle Scouts in Hamilton County. As of June 8, Four other Hamilton County girls have earned Eagle Scout rank.

“I’m trying to get Eagle Scout by August or September.”

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, water fountains shut down at schools, so schools replaced water fountains with bottle-filling stations. Barratt discovered many students can’t get a drink at school because they don’t have water bottles. So, Barrett’s project is to provide reusable water bottles for students who need them. Barratt said she also is collecting lunchboxes to help children in need.

“We’re going to get healthy snacks to put in there,” she said. “My goal is to get 300 water bottles and 300 lunchboxes.”

So far, Barratt has collected 240 each of water bottles and lunchboxes.

Barratt’s project is assisted by Hinkle Creek Elementary teacher Kristina Trusty, who works with Fueled for School, a nonprofit that feeds students in need in Hamilton County. Fueled for School will distribute Barratt’s water bottles and lunchboxes.

“Fueled for School does weekly food

service for kids, and I usually help out with getting snacks placed for those kids,” Barratt said.

Businesses that have contributed to Barratt’s project so far are Riverview Health, Noblesville United Methodist Preschool, Reggie’s Autoworks and Dr. Ryan Jay, DDS. Donations can be arranged by contacting Barratt at eaglescout1920@gmail.com.

Barratt said there are 14 girls in Troop 1920.

It is linked with Troop 1910 with the boys.

Barratt’s mother, Shannon, said the boys and girls troops work independently of each other.

“Her troop is a linked troop, which means the boys and girls are together,” Shannon said. “The boys and girls meet, camp and do everything together. They do have separate

leaders with a woman leading the girls and a man leading the boys.”

Barratt’s twin 11-year-old sister, Jenna, and brother, Philip, are in the linked troop.

Her youngest brother, Spencer, is 10 and is a Cub Scout in Pack 129.

Shannon was a Girl Scout leader before becoming involved with Cub Scouts.

“I have been a den leader and the committee chair for Pack 211 in Noblesville,” she said. “I am now the advancement chair for Troops 1910 and 1920. My husband, Duane Barratt, was a Boy Scout but never made it to Eagle rank.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Moving forward

Let’s (not) get together

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The rumors are already circulating, and some of us are confident enough to be completely certain that television as we know it is breathing its last breath. Ditto radio, telephone, driving our own cars and newspapers (really, anything that is in print). The rise of new technologies and changes to social norms have long been disruptive forces requiring the end of one medium to make room for others.

On-demand subscription services provide much greater freedom of when and what to consume. And the portability of modern technology makes us think of anything hard-wired as more akin to a dog chained to a tree than to a contemporary mobile lifestyle.

Still, one doesn’t have to be too old to remember the Walt Disney promise of the City of Tomorrow. Taking a break from the long lines and hot weather of family summer vacation, we’d board the PeopleMover from a giant roundabout with the attached cars being propelled along by rubber tires embedded in the track.

There, we’d find a respite from the heat and “learn” a bit about what the future would be. Flying cars? Sure, why not? No crime, hunger or human condition? Plan on it. Utopia? Seems reasonable.

Well, the years have passed and a Disney CEO whose name was not Disney closed the ride and its accompanying optimism for the future. We still don’t have flying cars, perfect humans or Utopia. In fact, as most of us mature into adulthood, we realize that these dreams are either silly, impractical or downright impossible. But what has remained is that people still want to escape the summer sun occasionally when spending the day outside and to imagine a future of wonder and opportunity. If we are sure to adapt, what do we keep and what do we leave behind?

Here’s my current situation: I’m on the second-floor balcony of a South Carolina beach house trying to elude the 17 children/young adults roving the grounds.

And if I’m honest, I’m also hoping to avoid their parents, including — but not limited to — Doo, my beloved spouse of 25 years.

That’s right, friends, it’s our annual family reunion, and four days in, I’m ready to be done.

Don’t get me wrong — I look forward to this trip every summer. Spending a week oceanside enjoying the company of my sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews, Doo and our kids and my mom, is a wonderful gift. But 28 people between the ages of 7 months to 76, piled on top of each other into a single-kitchen home, becomes overwhelming fairly quickly, especially for an introverted, early-to-bed neat freak like myself. Even an intriguing 1,000-piece oldies TV puzzle and nightly charades can’t offset my need to escape, at least for a short while.

I know I shouldn’t be annoyed by the little things — the discarded Hi-C boxes, the raucous laughter of coeds playing poker at 2 a.m. and the baby paraphernalia literally everywhere. These are simply the inevitable byproducts of large multigenerational get-togethers. But if I step into a melted puddle of Lucky Charms marshmallows one more time, I am going to lose my flipping mind.

Hence the hiding. This balcony has become my relatively quiet, persons-free safe space where I can ponder the universe and the latest “Shadowhunter” book without fear of being roped into a game of Sorry or forced to bear witness to the results of the 15th Kroger run of the morning. Not a bad current situation.

Peace out.

VIEWS LETTERS

Praise for Spartz Editor, In response to Patricia Otten’s “What is Spartz doing to help?”, I found what I believe to be numerous inaccuracies.

First of all, I am not sure what was to be expected of a freshman representative who had been in office for less than five months.

And for anyone to believe our federal government is not broken or dysfunctional would be a sign of not being aware of the times.

I know of no one who doesn’t believe the “COVID-19 Bill” and Infrastructure bill is too expensive, primarily because it is not designed to be of assistance primarily to those adversely affected by the pandemic or areas needing infrastructure repair. Instead, it focuses on implementing mostly socialistic programs that are totally unrelated to the pandemic or infrastructure.

What Rep. Spartz is doing is holding many town hall sessions around her district. In so doing, she is making 1-on-1 contact to obtain a clear knowledge of what her constituents want and do not want of the federal government. This is exactly what a responsible representative should do.

Diana Rice, Noblesville

Don’t be fooled Editor, Pandering, misleading garbage describes the diversity, equity and inclusion meeting put on by Noblesville Schools. The purpose of the meeting was to answer no questions and convince concerned parents we are overreacting to false information on social media.

Don’t be fooled, parents. The schools are not interested in your opinions or concerns.

They want your silence and compliance.

This year should have opened the eyes of all parents to the fact we are vastly more qualified to teach our own children. Nothing your student learned this year can’t be found on Google. The only thing left is manipulating your child’s values, and make no mistake, they are doing just that.

The schools lie to parents, convincing us we can’t teach our own children. They lie to the students by prioritizing their emotions over education. It’s time to end their stranglehold.

Commentary by Dr. Hannah Wilson

In our fast-paced world, it can be easy to put your ocular health on the backburner.

However, there are some EYE HEALTH visual symptoms that are considered medical emergencies due to their sight-threatening nature. These symptoms include sudden onset flashes of light, an increase in floaters or spots and a curtain-like shadow that appears in your field of vision. Should you experience any of these visual phenomena, seek immediate attention with your eye care provider.

All three of the aforementioned symptoms can be signs of a retinal detachment.

The retina is the thin tissue at the back of the eye, which is responsible for sensing light and converting it into signals that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve. Clear vision is impossible without a properly functioning retina. When a retinal detachment occurs, retinal cells separate from the underlying tissue that provides nourishment.

This is painless, but the longer a retinal detachment is left untreated, the greater the possibility of permanent vision loss.

Sunscreen tip — Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms – UVA and UVB. 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.

You can try doing five rounds of 15 jumping jacks, 10 walking lunges, 10 mountain climbers and five pushups. Exercising your entire body can make a lot of difference.

Source: Vuality.com Yogurt myths — Yogurt is often marketed as helping digestion because of probiotics – the good bacteria that our guts need for good health. Bacteria affect our metabolism and obesity rates, among other things, so the connection seems logical. This may be true but scientists don’t fully understand how the millions of bacteria already in our bodies work together. What we do know, though, is that most yogurts are packed with sugar, which contributes to obesity and other problems — so if you enjoy yogurt, find some that isn’t full of empty calories.

Westfield woman creates sleepover party business

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It started two years ago when Heather Halliburton wanted to make her daughter’s eighth birthday special.

NEW BIZ The Westfield resident admitted she got a bit carried away with preparations. Amid sewing fabrics and awaiting Amazon orders for the party, she realized it could be a side business.

“I realized it’s something we could do as a family to supplement our incomes,” she said.

She told a friend and showed him pictures. His 9-year-old daughter wanted the same party.

“It took off from there with Facebook posts,” said Halliburton, a human resources executive.

So, Wonderland Sleepovers was launched with the purpose of turning ordinary sleepovers into unforgettable experiences. The sleepover parties, which include individualized tents with a full adult-sized mattress, can be for a variety of occasions.

Mattress pads, sheets, blankets, fairy lights,

breakfast trays and themed accessories are included.

“We charge on the amount of tents that are ordered, and we also offer party favors,”

Tom Roush Mazda Your Local Dealer Since 1972 Dealer Since 1972 Your Your Local Local Dealer Since 1972

Halliburton said.

Halliburton, who has 20 tents, said most parties have four to eight tents.

Clients can choose one of 10 themes,

such as “Sweet Dreams,” “Star Wars,” “Summer Fun” and “Harry Potter.”

Halliburton’s daughter, Alexis, now 10, is a key consultant on the themes. Halliburton’s husband, Scott, helps with operations.

“One of the catalysts for me wanting to start the business was my own personal interest in trying an entrepreneurial path as well as modeling that for Alexis,” Halliburton said.

Wonderland Sleepovers serves all of Hamilton County, Zionsville and northern Indianapolis.

Although the business understandably slowed during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has started to pick up again.

Although younger children, preteen and teen boys and girls have been the primary market, Halliburton said she is expanding offerings this summer to include an outdoor package designed for adult entertaining, including glamping, graduation parties, weddings and baby showers.

During the summer with school out, Halliburton said she gets more requests for weekday sleepover parties.

Huse Culinary co-owners share secret behind employee longevity

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com According to Huse Culinary co-owners Steve and Craig Huse, the secret behind St. Elmo Steak House’s success FOOD is hiring intelligent, hardworking people and rewarding them well.

The philosophy seems to benefit both parties. When Craig Huse recently entered Harry & Izzy’s Northside, he was immediately greeted with an enthusiastic hug from one of the waitstaff.

In an industry that frequently sees turnover, Steve Huse said St. Elmo Steak House and its sister restaurants — Harry & Izzy’s, 1933 Lounge and The HC Tavern + Kitchen — have at least 15 employees who have worked for the company for 20 or more years.

“Part of the reason people come to us is we pay well, and we also have fully benefitted our people who are with us full time,” Steve Huse said. “We also have a family atmosphere and consider our business family as important as our biological family. We have very high standards on the products we buy to transform somebody’s lunch and dinner, and I think they (the staff) appreciate that. They know we aren’t trying to cheat anybody, and that all creates pride for your work.”

The Huses’ practice of treating employees well continued during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though the company’s Hamilton County restaurants closed for 56 days, and its Marion County restaurants closed for 81 days, the owners found a way to provide for their employees.

“We were able to bridge payroll and never shut payroll down,” Craig Huse said.

“We calculated gratuities in 2019 and went back and averaged that out and took that average paycheck and we made that their payroll.”

When the restaurants shut down, the Huses allowed employees to fill grocery bags with perishable food – such as produce and dairy — from the restaurant suf-

ficient for their families.

Besides that, the Huses and former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning funded 1,200 boxed lunches for local first responders and staff at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. Creating the boxed lunches allowed some Huse Culinary employees to work throughout the shutdown.

“It allowed people to be working again here while we were closed to the public,” Craig Huse said. “We had 15 people or so banging out 1,200 meals a day, which is like an assembly line.”

The meals inspired others to get involved, including the Indianapolis Indians, Bob & Tom and more. In total, 10,000 meals were donated.

The real challenge for employees came when the restaurants reopened and experienced slow business as diners began slowly venturing out again.

“The suburban restaurants (Harry & Izzy’s Northside) and Fishers came back

pretty quickly, because downtown was empty, so people who were going downtown were staying close to home,” Craig Huse said. “Downtown is still running at 60 to 65 percent of 2019’s numbers, and (Harry & Izzy’s Northside) hit a number of times the same sales volumes as 2019 and overall is 90 percent where we were pre-pandemic.”

Although gratuities aren’t quite back to where they were pre-pandemic, some of Huse Culinary’s most loyal customers are helping support the waitstaff.

“Some of our regular guests, which we call our patron saints, were tipping outlandish tips, like 100 percent,” Craig Huse said. “We had one donate a bunch of Visa gift cards to supplement our staff.”

The company’s Benevolent Program, which provides grants to employees in need, also awarded $15,000 to employees in need during the pandemic.

Concerts for a Cause returns

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Bruce Kidd enjoys mixing music with goodwill.

Kidd is the co-founder of MUSIC Concerts for a Cause, which donates proceeds from each concert to a different nonprofit.

“People that love live music and helping people in need is what it’s all about,” Kidd said.

There have been 15 concerts with donations totaling $250,000 to 15 different organizations. The series had been sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the last concert held January 2020.

The first of four 2021 Concerts for a Cause will be held June 25 at the Ambassador House in Heritage Park in Fishers.

“Our guest performer is Griffin House, one of my favorite artists,” Kidd said. “If you like John Mayer, you will like Griffin. It’s normally acoustic folk/pop/rock.”

The opening act will feature Keller & Cole at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. with cocktails and a reception. Griffin House will perform at 8:30 p.m.

Concerts for a Cause board members, from left, Jeff Christofferson, Steve Neely, Meg Murphy, Jillian Ashton, Michelle Lebo, Ted Sturges and Bruce Kidd at a January 2019 concert. The band, The Steel Wheels, is on stage. (Submitted photo)

“The concert will be an open-air concert in a large-tented pavilion with a fantastic view of the park,” Kidd said.

Kidd, a Carmel resident, said 100 percent of ticket purchases will be donated to the Shoe Closet so it can provide new sneakers to thousands of kids living in poverty.

Kidd said the plan is to stage four concerts a year and support different causes.

Tickets are $100 and includes all drinks and food. For more, visit indyconcertsforacause.org.

Audiodacity to play livestream

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Were it not for the rules of Indianapolis’ largest “battle of the bands” contest, Audiodacity might never have evolved MUSIC from a standard cover group to one of the state’s most electrifying live acts.

“Since the battle was for bands playing original music, we had two weeks to write five original songs for the first round of the battle,” said Ben Jarvis, a founding member of the seven-piece band. “From that point on, we kept writing and working our originals into our cover sets, and soon after we were on local stages playing entirely original songs.”

That was in 2013, when Audiodacity won the 2013 “Battle of Birdy’s” band competition and has since opened for some of the nation’s top touring acts, including Here Come the Mummies, Grouplove, Dumpstaphunk, The Motet and Ludacris.

On June 19, Audiodacity will perform a free livestream concert at 8 p.m. at the Palladium in Carmel as part of the Live at the Center series.

Audiodacity members are, from left, Cecily Terhune, Cody Herring, Ben Jarvis, Kyle Perkon, Adam Woodgett, Mike Sheldon and Jason Ehizokhale. (Submitted photo)

Audiodacity has performed at a variety of music festivals and is making its Palladium debut.

“Our style is based in funk and rock but includes hip-hop, jazz, Latin and soul blends,” Jarvis said. “We’ve been called an ‘ultra-fusion’ act, which is one we’ve stuck with. Our goal is always to bring a high-energy performance to our live shows. Though we won’t be able to see everyone watching, we love to imagine folks at home dancing in their living rooms with us.”

ATI features dads’ favorite songs

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This will be Don Farrell’s first Father’s Day since his father, Donald Farrell Sr., died Dec. 21, 2020, from COVID-19.

CONCERT So, the Actors Theatre of Indiana’s Drive-In Theatre’s Father’s Day tribute will take on extra meaning. Farrell and fellow ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins have put together a setlist that includes favorites of their fathers for the concert set for 7 p.m.

June 18 at the Monon Square Shopping Center, 620 S. Range Line Rd., Carmel.

“He would listen to his love songs of the ‘60s or James Taylor or Motown songs,” Farrell said. “He and my mom loved ‘My Girl.’

He loved the Righteous Brothers’ ‘You Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.’ We have a lot of great songs, like ‘How Sweet It Is (to be loved by you).’ It’s a nice tribute not just for our dads but all dads, especially those in the Baby Boomer generation.”

Collins said some other favorites include “Gentle On My Mind,” “Thank God I’m A Country Boy,” “Peace Train,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” and “Rhinestone

Cowboy.”

Collins said her good friend Terry Woods has musically directed all the concerts.

“He is perfection, and we are extremely fortunate to have him on board,” Collins said. “Greg Wolff on drums and Greg Gegogeine on bass are known as ‘The Gregs.’

They have been with ATI a good long time, seasoned pros. You know when you do a gig with these guys, they have your back.”

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1100 Chatham Hills Blvd., Westfield What to get: Seared scallops Price: $32 Anna’s take: Chatham Hills is a beautiful venue with endless opportunities for fun and food. While touring the facility with a guest, I saw the beautiful pool with a swim-up bar, an indoor bowling center and other amenities, as well as two restaurants inside the club. We dined at The Hamilton Bar & Grille. We started with seared ahi tuna ($17), arranged in the shape of a flower, Cajun-rubbed and seared, with honey tataki sauce with rose sugar and wasabi. The sauce was smeared on the plate and had a savory caramel consistency that I dipped my fork in to taste again and again. We also tried the braised beef egg rolls ($16) — crispy bites of braised short rib, mozzarella cheese and creamy horseradish and sweet chili sauce for dipping. For the main event,

I had seared scallops, which featured four pan-seared jumbo scallops bathed in a red pepper coulis and dotted with pomegranate seeds, topped with refreshing slices of jicama and peppers. For dessert, I tried the tres leches cake ($10), a layered cake with strawberries, a three-milk blend and whipped cream.

Suggested pairings: Orin Swift Mannequin Chardonnay, $56 per bottle Editor’s note: Only Chatham Hills members can dine at other restaurants within the club. For more, visit chathamhills.com/ membership/membership-opportunities.

Blueprint for Improvement: Lakefront living in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene This 1997 home is in Carmel’s Bayhill neighborhood. The new homeowners wanted to update the exterior to enjoy the home’s prime spot on the water.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The wood decking and stairs were replaced with Trex composite decking, which is durable and virtually maintenance-free.

• The deck’s “cocktail” rail provides room for beverages or small plates; low voltage lighting adds ambiance when the sun goes down.

• A custom-built dog gate was added at the top of the stairs.

• Fresh paint and a new roof complete this stunning renovation.

My wife and I are in a stage of parenting where we can’t get away with spelling words aloud around the kids anymore. Our son is a great reader GRAMMAR GUY and can sniff out a secret-parent-spelling code faster than you can spell i-c-e c-r-e-a-m.

Because of this, we use a language where we spell out words, except consonants are pronounced with their letter, plus the sound “ong” at the end of them, while vowels are just pronounced normally. So, my name would be “Cong-u-rong-tong-isong.” The kids will never catch o-nong.

Letters are powerful. In fact, in polite society, many people are still too shy to say delicate or harsh words, opting instead to use initials. Have you ever heard someone’s boss described as a “real S.O.B.?” Believe me, “S.O.B.” doesn’t stand for “super outstanding boss.”

When we use initialisms like this as a substitute for harsh or bad words, it’s called a “eusystolism” (pronounced yooSIST-o-lism). A eusystolism is the offspring

of an initialism and a euphemism.

Eusystolisms have made it into popular culture. Kenya Barris, creator of the ABC sitcom “Black-ish,” created and stars in a Netflix sitcom called “#blackAF.” Let’s just say the “AF” doesn’t stand for “Abercrombie and Fitch.” In fact, people avoid uttering this particular profanity by merely saying, “Oh F!” Mr. T portrayed the memorable character Bosco Albert “B.A.” Baracus in the 1980s action-adventure show “The A-Team.” Although “B.A” were the initials of the character’s first and middle name, the “B.A.” supposedly stood for “bad attitude.” I agree that the “B” stood for “bad,” but my opinion is that the “A” stood for something you couldn’t say on TV in the ‘80s. Perhaps it’s still unacceptable in a newspaper in 2021, so I’ll just say the “A” is the animal that talked to Balaam in the biblical book of Numbers Chapter 22.

Visiting historic Madison Commentary by Don Knebel One-hundred-fifty years ago, Madison, Ind., was among the Midwest’s largest cities. Today, it offers an opporTRAVEL tunity for a pleasant adventure 100 miles from Indianapolis.

In 1809, John Paul, an American Revolution veteran, acquired land along the Ohio River 75 miles west of Cincinnati. In 1811, five years before Indiana’s statehood, he began selling lots in a village he named “Madison” in honor of then-President James Madison.

After Madison became the southern terminus of the Michigan Road, connecting the Ohio River to Lake Michigan, the city grew rapidly. By 1850, with a population of 8,012, Madison was the 90th-largest city in the United States, only slightly smaller than Indianapolis. By 1870, with the growth of the railroads, Madison’s population began declining, but many of the buildings from its golden age were preserved. In 2006, 133 contiguous blocks of Madison’s downtown area were designated a National Historic Landmark, the largest such area in the U.S.

Today, Madison, with a population of about 12,000, is among the most popular destinations in Southern Indiana. The Madison Regatta, an unlimited hydroplane race held on the Ohio River every year during the Fourth of July weekend, attracts up to 100,000 visitors who watch the race from the well-maintained riverfront park. The picturesque Main Street, two blocks from the river, includes the gold-domed Jefferson County Courthouse and 19th-century buildings housing fashionable restaurants, shops, bars and a winery. Antebellum homes, including the historic Lanier Mansion (more next week), are open to the public. Clifty Falls State Park is just west of the city. Overnight visitors can stay in Madison’s many hotels and bed and breakfasts.

ONE OF THOSE DAYS? HELP IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
