New coach McClelland confident NHS on ‘cusp of winning’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youareucrrent.com Scott McClelland saw several positives about the future of the class 4A Noblesville High School boys basketBASKETBALL ball program.

“Noblesville has always had a strong tradition in basketball,” he said. “They’ve had great players. They’ve had some great coaches. I think there is a (high) level of interest from a fan’s perspective. I think they are truly on the cusp of winning. They’ve made some big strides in the last few years. Ultimately, that intrigued me. I think I can help get them over the hump.”

Noblesville athletic director Leah Wooldridge agreed, as McClelland was named coach June 15.

“What sets Scott apart from others is his ability to not only teach the game of basketball, but to use basketball to teach lessons about life,” Wooldridge stated. “His coaching makes teams stronger because he builds unique relationships with each player, learning what they most need from him to bring out the best in themselves. I’m excited to see what’s next for this team.”

McClelland, 46, has a 246-169 record in 18 seasons as a coach at Western Boone and Brebeuf Jesuit and two stints at Morristown. His 2018 Morristown squad won the Class A state championship with a 28-2 record. His 2021 team finished 20-5.

“We’ve had an unbelievable stretch in the last six years,” said McClelland, who began his second stint with Morristown in 2015.

“It’s bittersweet (leaving). I wasn’t unhappy.

I can’t say enough positive things about the school, the town or the community.”

But McClelland said Noblesville was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Noblesville was 11-11 last season, including 2-5 in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference.

John Peckinpaugh resigned after two seasons to take the job as Kokomo’s boys coach. His wife is Kokomo’s girls basketball coach.

“They’ve got a nucleus of four or five kids that got some valuable experience,” McClelland said. “We’ll just try to get those kids to buy into what we want to do.”

The Millers return their top two scorers in E.J. Smith (12.1 points per game last season) and Luke Almodovar (11 points per game).

Smith will be a senior and Almodovar will be

a junior.

“I’m going to try to approach this the same way at Noblesville as we approached going back to Morristown — high expectations, cultivation of player development and a winning attitude,” McClelland said. “We were able to do that, and I think we can do that at a bigger stage in Noblesville.”

McClellan knows that Noblesville competes in one of the toughest sectionals in the state. The field includes defending state champion Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville, Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers.

“That sectional is brutal, but I just feel there is no reason why we can’t be in the same conversation as some of those other schools,” he said.

McClelland and his wife, Sonja, and his daughter, Anna, who will be a fifth-grader, live in McCordsville. McClelland will teach wellness at NHS.

Noblesville High School is in top 1 percent of PLTW schools news@currentnoblesville.com Noblesville High School is in the top 1 percent of the nation’s Project Lead the Way Distinguished Schools for EDUCATION the fourth consecutive year. NHS is one of only four high schools in Indiana to receive the recognition for four consecutive years.

NHS was recognized for providing broad access to science, technology, engineering and math learning opportunities.

Noblesville East Middle School, Noblesville West Middle School, Hazel Dell Elementary, Hinkle Creek Elementary, North Elementary and White River Elementary also were recognized, with Noblesville East Middle School being the only middle school in the state to receive the honor four consecutive years. Noble Crossing Elementary and Promise Road Elementary are not eligible for consideration because they have their own STEM programming rather than curriculum through PLTW. Stony Creek Elementary has been recognized previously.

Noblesville Schools offers 16 PLTW courses for middle and high school students, including classes like robotics, biomedical, cybersecurity and aerospace engineering.

It also is one of only a few districts in the state to offer PLTW programming for all grades, with elementary students exploring flight, energy, robotics.

“In today’s world, hands-on STEM learning is critical for future educational opportunities and high-demand career paths,” Supt.

Beth Niedermeyer stated. “We’re proud to be a leader in this area at all grade levels and are honored to be recognized.”

According to a media release from Noblesville Schools, the Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement and achievement in their PLTW STEM programs.

To be eligible for the designation, schools had to offer a variety of PLTW STEM courses and have a significant portion of students participating in them, and students had to demonstrate mastery in the content and continuation in the programming.

long.”

Guerin Catholic sophomore Jacob Modleski finished second individually with 74-72 for a total of 147.

“Jacob is a very strong player and he played very well (in the final round),” Mathews said.

Golden Eagles senior Andrew White, a Westfield resident who will play for Purdue next season, finished tied for eighth with a 150 total (73-77).

The Golden Eagles also lose senior Christian Hein (80-79-159). Joining Modelski as returnees are junior Connor McNeely (74-81155) and freshman Leo Wessel 82-78-160.

The Golden Eagles, who had eight invita-

tional victories this season, won Hamilton County, Circle City Conference and Lake Central Regional championships. McNeely was the regional champion.

“We’re going to have a strong team next year,” said Mathews, who was in his 12th season as coach. “It’s a builder (for the future).”

Modleski, a Noblesville resident, said the pressure of the final round will benefit the team if it can return to the state meet.

“Looking over hole to hole and seeing different people hit different shots, It was a whole new atmosphere,” he said. “I’ve never been in anything like this before, so it was definitely interesting.”

In the end, the Guerin Catholic High School boys golf team came up just a bit short.

GOLF The Golden Eagles flirted with an IHSAA boys golf state championship before falling one stroke shy June 16 at Prairie View Golf Course in Carmel. Guerin finished runner-up with a two-round total of 607 strokes, one more than Center Grove’s two-day total of 606. Carmel finished third with a 612 total.

Guerin Catholic’s previous best finish was fourth in the state in 2019, its only other state meet appearance. The 2020 tournament was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guerin Catholic and Carmel were tied after the first round June 15. With nine holes to go, Carmel led Center Grove by three strokes and Guerin Catholic by five.

However, Carmel struggled and both teams surpassed the Greyhounds.

“It was an exciting event,” Guerin Catholic coach Mark Mathews said. “I’m really proud of my players. They played great all year

Spartz proposes bill to increase child care facilities

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) has co-authored a bill with Rep. Adrian Smith (R-Neb.) to give states more POLITICS leeway to improve and increase the number of child-care facilities, with an emphasis on rural areas.

Spartz’s 5th District represents all of Hamilton County.

“As a working mom Spartz of two young girls, I understand the importance of childcare, especially when it comes to engaging more women in the workforce. This is a very important issue for our state given the significant labor shortages that are impacting businesses,” Spartz stated in a media release.

H.R. 3797, or the Increasing Access to Safe Child Care Facilities Act of 2021, was introduced June 8. If passed, it would make subgrants available to “eligible entities (seeking) to improve and increase the availability of safe child-care facilities.”

The priority for the subgrants would go to, but not exclusively, new child-care facilities in rural communities. The bill also would increase child-care options for working families.

“Many federal government programs come with extensive strings, which make them very expensive and inefficient. This bill allows more flexibility to the states to improve effectiveness and provide a greater benefit to Hoosiers,” Spartz stated.

“As a working mom of two young girls, I understand the importance of childcare, especially when it comes to engaging more women in the workforce.”

A Fourth of July celebration has been a long-standing tradition in the City of Noblesville, but Mayor Chris Jensen plans to switch things up a bit this year.

Jensen and the city decided to conduct a parade last year during the COVID-19 pandemic but were limited on what they could offer because of social distancing guidelines. This year, Jensen said the festival will take the form that he originally envisioned.

“My wife (Julie Jensen) is from Dublin, Ohio, and Fourth of July is her favorite holiday,” Jensen said. “When you’re married to the mayor, you rarely get to go home for the Fourth of July. In Dublin, they had a big concert at the football stadium every year where the fireworks were located, and she asked if she could get involved with planning the Fourth of July Festival in Noblesville and make it a better event.”

The celebration will be similar to the one in Julie Jensen’s hometown, but the events will take place at Forest Park instead of a football stadium. The events will kick off with a parade through downtown Noblesville beginning at 4:30 p.m. Registration to participate in the parade is $25 (nonprofits are not charged), and entries must be submitted by June 30.

Following the parade, the celebration will move to Forest Park. A DJ will play music beginning at 6 p.m., and the Hairbangers Ball, a 1980s and 1990s cover band, will perform from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Fireworks will be launched at 10 p.m.

VIP tables near the front of the concert have already sold out. Other offerings will include a beer garden and food trucks.

There also will be a kids’ zone.

“The idea is to provide a one-stop shop for folks,” Jensen said.

Another new feature is Kristen Boice serving as the parade’s grand marshal. Boice is a therapist with a Noblesville-based private counseling practice, Pathways to Healing, and she was chosen by the Jensens because of her involvement in the community.

“Julie Jensen and I sat down and were talking about who not only has given (of) themselves their time, talent and treasures

to the top for us over the past year and a half.”

Boice has donated her time to the City of Noblesville since participating in the city’s Mental Health Mondays Facebook Live event in April 2020. The event, which began as a weekly event, is now every other week.

Boice said she doesn’t want the grand marshal honor to be about her.

“I want to elevate the conversation around mental health,” she said.

Boice said a lot of appreciation was given to first responders across the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic, but not as much attention was given to mental health workers. During the parade, Boice will hold up signs reading “You are enough” and “You are loved,” among other messages.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Attention to intention

Battling an awful earful

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Sometimes, it just seems like we cannot get out of our own way. We have good intentions, plan and work hard. We are professionally trained and of good moral character. But there is a gap. Is it simple incompetence? Are our failures the result of sufficient effort but insufficient ability? Perhaps. Maybe the fault is one of some externality. Maybe the reoccurring fact that our objectives often do not materialize as outcomes is not because of us at all. Again, perhaps.

Is everything that we are doing the absolute best that it could be? Are we remaining open to better courses of action? Are there superior paths than the ones we’ve chosen? The smartest humans among us are constantly striving for self-improvement. Do we remember the destination even when we are fatigued from the journey? Do we meet people where they are without restraint?

The elementary school librarian could not seem to get little Frankie to return his library books on time. He’d been warned, lectured and incentivized — all to no avail. With good intention, he still didn’t deliver. In exasperation, he was banned from the library. OK, scofflaws must be held to account. Yet is it ever right to proclaim, you are dumb and we are going to keep you that way and that knowledge is ours and we only share it with those deserving? Sit still, stand in queue, pay the fine, toe the line, or you will be held back in ignorance. Can we teach Frankie the importance of responsibility by preventing him from having responsibility? Will our good intentions get to an equally good outcome? Could Frankie pay his penance by reading books about responsibility? Could he learn if we let him? Could he think of his actions as both intention and outcome?

Can we?

My ear-y tale of auditory distress continues, friends, as I have bravely fought — but not yet defeated — a weeklong battle against a giant ball of hardened wax and its ally, the mighty otitis. I’m currently regrouping during a momentary ceasefire orchestrated by those beloved diplomats, Advil and Zithromax, So here I am, still but I’ll have in agony, still in an to jump back epic fight for my into the fray soon. I can’t middle ear. actually hear – DANIELLE WILSON the enemy (or anything, for that matter), but I can feel them closing in.

I thought it would be a decisive victory during my second encounter on the fields of Minute Clinic, but, alas, despite an NP firing a (water) cannon into my left ear — three times, mind you — and then repeatedly stabbing said ear with what could and should be labeled a bayonet, that treasonous wax glob didn’t budge, not one iota. In fact, I dare say it decidedly hunkered down, refusing to yield even a tiny part of its Benedict Arnold-self or the canal it guarded. A full retreat was ordered, and I fled to the safety of my minivan, finding catharsis in 107.9 FM and post-traumatic tears.

So here I am, still in agony, still in an epic fight for my middle ear. The antibiotics, despite their powerful reputation, have failed thus far to provide the support they promised. Desertion is rampant sleep, appetite and balance are all AWOL — and I fear morale is dropping to unrecoverable levels. I have a few more days before the next scheduled assault and am praying that I will finally emerge victorious. Because one way or another, this needs to end. Auditory distress is hell, not to mention bloody ear-itating.

Peace out.

Look for dividend-paying stocks — Dividend-paying stocks tend to hold up better than the overall market during volatile times and economic slowdowns. But many large-cap, blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains the past year, so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better defensive strategy is to invest in

dividend-paying medium-sized companies — those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10 billion. Their businesses are mature enough to pay reliable dividends but still have the ability to grow much faster than large companies. Also, their stocks are bigger bargains. To find attractive dividend-paying, mid-cap stocks, look for companies with steady recurring revenues, little or no debt, leading market positions in their niches and strong enough cash flow to increase dividends at least 10 percent annually for the next five years. Dividend growth is the best indication that earnings are growing and that management believes they will continue to grow.

Through a partnership with Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis, Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine offers a procedure called thrombectomy, which uses Sahlein a patient’s blood vessels as a highway to snake tools to wherever a blood clot is and remove it.

Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine is one of the few health care providers in the state to perform the procedure, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Health.

“We use what is essentially a real-time X-ray movie as guidance,” Dr. Daniel Sahlein of Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine said.

“It’s called fluoroscopy, and we take a catheter, a long skinny tube, enter through the big artery of the leg, sometimes the artery in the wrist, thread that through the vessels in the body, get to the vessel in the neck that supplies that part of the arterial tree, then we inject contrasting agent, or X-ray dye, so we can see exactly where the obstruction is. Then we actually put two additional catheters through there, too, so through a series of three catheters, each inside each other, we push up to the level of the clot where we use a little self-expanding stent connected to a wire that acts like a rake, and we also use a fairly large catheter after we open the side of the artery in the head that we apply suction to.

“We literally try to manually vacuum out the clot while trying to rake it out at the same time. We have a whole series of tools that we can use to pull obstructing clots out of vessels in the head.”

The entire procedure, which Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine performs at St. Vincent Indianapolis, takes an average of 20 minutes.

Stroke is the fifth-leading cause of death in Indiana and afflicts 795,000 Americans each year.

Ginger for pain relief — Ginger has been proven to work in reducing nausea related to everything from motion sickness to chemotherapy. One of its lesser-known benefits, however, is that it also reduces inflammation. Some research also suggests that it works just as well as the migraine drug sumatriptan (Imitrex). To relieve pain, take a 1,000 mg supplement at the onset of pain.

For better health, try to get up and do some light activity several times a day, even if you have a sedentary job. Moving around triggers blood flow, clears glucose from the blood and breaks down triglycerides.

Source: BottomLineHealth.com Prevent bruises — To prevent a bruise after an injury, try this. Wet your fingers and then dip them in sugar. Massage the injured area with your sugary fingers. The massage will promote blood circulation.

Daniel’s Vineyard lands Indianapolis Opera’s Lobster Palooza

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera and Daniel’s Family Vineyard & Winery seemed like a perfect match.

EVENT “Wine is a very strongly associated craft with opera,” Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey said. “(Daniel’s Vineyard) really prescribes to an amazing craftsmanship and the desire to be dedicated to their neighbors. They’ve always explored a lot with music and cultural events. It just seemed to be the right avenue to explore.”

The 11th annual Lobster Palooza will be held at Daniel’s Vineyard in McCordsville from 5 to 9 p.m. Aug. 8. Current Publishing is serving as a media sponsor. National Bank of Indianapolis, Ellinger Riggs Insurance and Merrill Lynch also are sponsors.

“That’s a big change for us because historically, Lobster Palooza has been held at Basile Opera Center (in Indianapolis),” Starkey said.

The 2020 event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starkey said the opera company had to merge Lobster Palooza and Opera Ball into a virtual fundraiser with live singers.

“We just felt it was time to think of the next generation of the event after 10 years,” Starkey said. “We thought, what is the next decade going to be like for this fundraiser? Many people equate this to being one of the most unique, fun-filled events of that size. For this kind of size, 200 to 300 people, this has been consistently revered as the event. There is a new generation of opera fans, board members and donors, and they love this event. The event has brought in more of a younger, middle-aged crowd. This is real Maine lobster, and (we) have a special boiler expert we bring in from out of town to boil the lobster. We’re not getting frozen lobsters from the grocery store. This is the real deal. A Cut Above Catering has been the caterer and the chef of choice for many years of this event.

BEEF & BOARDS Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre presents “The Sound of Music” through Aug. 15. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

JUNIOR CIVIC THEATRE Junior Civic Theatre’s production of “Disney’s Frozen Jr.” at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel will be presented at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. June 29-30. Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Program will present “Revue!,” a cabaret show, at 6 and 8 p.m. June 29. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

RED BARN SUMMER THEATRE Red Barn Summer Theatre’s production of “The Odd Couple” will run through July 3 at the Frankfort theatre. For more, visit redbarntheatre.net.

“So, we’re taking a very successful event and we are putting it at one of the best developing venues in our region. It’s a win-win.”

The event will feature singers Daniel Narducci and Marci Jackson, who were leads in Indianapolis Opera’s 2019 production of “Camelot.”

The Dean Martini Band will perform between 7 and 9 p.m.

“That’s a new wrinkle. We haven’t had a band for years,” said Starkey, a McCordsville resident. “We’re going to have the opera singers sing with the band. There is a great space for people to dance.”

In addition to signature drinks and wine from Daniel’s Vineyard, Tito’s, Sun King and Still Moon products will be served.

A lobster event near Geist Reservoir seemed to be a logical match as well, Starkey said.

Starkey said the move also was generated by a motivation to develop new partnerships.

“Through a relationship we have with Visit Indy, a board member of ours, Janet Arnold, who works for Visit Indy, brought this recommendation to us,” Starkey said.

Starkey said many members already were aware of Daniel’s Vineyard.

“So, the learning curve was pretty short,” Starkey said. “The conversation started in late winter. We were just thrilled with their desire to expand and connect in the arts.”

The cocktail hour is at 5 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m. Tickets are $175 per person, and a table of eight is $1,400. A $100 portion of the ticket price is tax deductible.

Internationally renowned violin virtuoso Zachary DePue was named concertmaster of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra June 23.

“Carmel Symphony Orchestra is absolutely thrilled to announce that Zach is joining us and bringing his energy, his warmth, his versatility and DePue his overall musical passion to our orchestra and to our community,” CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes stated.

DePue was a CSO guest artist earlier this year, joining the orchestra for its performance of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons.”

DePue served as concertmaster for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for more than a decade and is well known as a founding member of the ISO’s first ensemble-in-residence, the international sensation Time for Three, with whom he performed for 15 years.

He performs on a violin made in 1846 by Giuseppe Rocca of Turin, Italy.

Fabric of Society WEARABLE ART

Painting the town

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Lexi Villamin has always enjoyed creating art but didn’t take it seriously until the past year.

ART Villamin, a junior at Guerin Catholic High School, recently put the finishing touches on a colorful mural painted on a wall inside the parking garage of the lower-level entrance to the new Hotel Carmichael in Carmel. The work is of a horizontal keyboard bordered by vivid designs above and below the black and white keys.

A 16-year-old Carmel resident, Villamin worked on the project for two months. She completed the 64-foot wide by 9 1/2-foot tall painting on May 31.

“I’m very proud of it. This is probably

Pictured: Handcrafted clothing by Ruby Ballard-Harris

the biggest project I have ever taken on,” Villamin said. “Although it isn’t perfect, I am proud of the work I put in and proud of the end result.”

Villamin’s design for the mural was chosen by Pedcor Companies, which developed the boutique hotel in a public/private partnership with the City of Carmel. Villamin, who is enrolled in Guerin Catholic’s IB visual arts class, originally submitted the design for consideration at the Indiana Design Center in Carmel, but Pedcor — which also developed the design center — wanted the mural for the Hotel Carmichael.

“Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had a fascination with art,” she said. “It was always something I did for fun, and I never took it too seriously until this past year.”

Permits are required for drone use and have been granted to CarmelFest by the city of Carmel.

Can I bring pets? CarmelFest instituted a no pet policy for both the parade and festival areas to protect animals from the extreme heat, as well as hot pavement and sidewalks. This policy was created for the safety of our attendees as well. Please keep pets at home. Do not leave pets and kids in a hot unattended car.

BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!

Address: 342 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Acai bowl Price: $14 Anna’s take: The Garden Table is a beautiful restaurant that has two locations, Mass Ave and Broad Ripple, with a third slated to open in Carmel in the fall. I tried an array of dishes at the Mass Ave location.

My favorite was the acai bowl — a vibrantly colored smoothie-like bowl topped with berries, house-made cashew granola, banana, almond butter, coconut flakes and minty herbs. A delicious combo of different tastes and textures, it’s a healthy way to eat something sweet. Another favorite was the Chilaquiles ($14), which is The Garden Table’s version of nachos with house-made corn tortilla chips, black beans, chicken tossed in salsa verde, a sunny-side up egg, avocado, queso fresco cilantro lime crema and a side of fresh pico de gallo. For vegetarian eaters,

the farro bowl ($12) is quite hearty with farro rice, portabello mushroom, carrots, roasted cauliflower and spinach and topped with a perfectly poached egg. Another healthy option is the Mediterranean salad ($13), a delicious spread of mixed greens, pico de gallo, couscous pearls, feta, roasted tomatoes, Kalamata olives and Greek dressing. And for the traditional breakfast fans, the blueberry hotcake stack ($8) is a tasty choice of four thick cakes that have a texture similar to combining a pancake and cornbread.

Suggested pairings: The Garden Table is a juicery with fresh cold-pressed juices, so I would suggest ordering a juice with your meal. You can purchase a glass for $9, a sample for $3 or a flight of four 5 oz. pours for $11. My favorites were the Neon Nectar, made with orange, carrot, apple, lemon, turmeric and ginger, and the Hoosier Heater, a green juice of apple, orange, spinach, kale, cilantro, jalapeño and lime.

Behind bars: Mexican Peach Mule Get it at Four Day Ray, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Olmeca Tequila, .5 oz. lime juice, .75 oz.

Monin Peach syrup, 2 oz. Jumex Peach Juice, ginger beer Directions: Mix first four ingredients, pour over ice in a copper mug and top with ginger beer.

July is National Grilling Month Commentary by Anna Skinner Celebrate National Grilling Month with a variety of sausages available at Old Major Market, 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. The sausages vary in flavor and make a great ingredient for an easy grilling recipe.

Ingredients: • Grillbasa (unsmoked kielbasa) • Korean gochujang (pork sausage with a lightly spicy kimchi, gochujang sauce, pickled garlic, ginger, green onion) • Pork sausage with bacon, poblano and cheese Directions: Cook the pork poblano and cheese sausages in a skillet so you don’t lose all the cheese. When cooked directly on the grill, the cheese melts and drips through the grates, but when cooked in a skillet, it caramelizes on the skillet and becomes a delicious crunchy snack. I used a cast-iron skillet and put it directly on the grill and let it heat up for several minutes. When smoking hot, I sprayed three pork, bacon, poblano and cheese sausages with olive oil and placed them in the skillet. I took one grillbasa and two Korean gochujangs and spritzed them with olive oil and placed them directly

on the grill. From here, it depends on your grill. Watch the sausages carefully and flip frequently until each side is crispy and fully cooked on the inside. Remove from the grill and enjoy. Total cook time is approximately 20 minutes.

THE BLUEPRINT • The large deck tub was replaced with a compact soaking tub; a storage niche was added to the back wall.

• The knee wall separating the toilet and the tub was extended to the ceiling for privacy.

• Finishes include beautiful Alder wood cabinetry and matte white tile in a classic basket-weave pattern on the floor.

• Sleek modern touches round out the space, including matte black fixtures and an oversized LED mirror.

Addicted to isograms Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Samara House in West Lafayette. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of Samara House Commentary by Don Knebel In 1953, Dr. John Christian, a young Purdue professor, and his wife, Catherine (Kay), the university’s social director, TRAVEL engaged 86-year-old Frank Lloyd Wright to design a house for their 1-acre lot in West Lafayette. Today, that house is a National Historic Landmark.

After engaging Wright, Mrs. Christian sent him a 27-page document outlining her needs, including family space, a room accommodating 50 guests, and a formal dining room. With this input, Wright designed a 2,200-square-foot single-story house featuring red brick and Philippine mahogany. The design incorporated a slab floor, flat roof, cantilevered overhangs, clerestory windows and radiant heating, concepts Wright used for the relatively modest designs he designated “Usonian,” a term referring to the United States. The design also included a “carport,” a word Wright coined in connection with his first Usonian home, built in Wisconsin in 1936. Wright named the Christian house “Samara” after winged pinecone seeds found on the property. Local contractors built the house between 1954 and 1956.

Wright also designed or specified many items to be included in the house and arbo-

retum, including furniture, rugs and carpets, lamps, linen, china, figurines and 80 species of trees. Some items incorporated a stylized samara motif Wright created. Others evoked Japan, including a guestroom chair made of plywood suggesting origami. The Christians committed to incorporating all of Wright’s ideas, even if that meant waiting until they had sufficient funds. When Dr. Christian died in 2015, Samara included almost everything Wright had specified, including a disappearing television platform operated by remote control.

The April 2015 announcement of Samara’s Historic Landmark designation noted the house’s “remarkably complete Usonian design, incorporating more than 40 Wrightian design elements.” The house and arboretum, owned by the John E. Christian Family Memorial Trust, Inc. (on whose board I sit), are available for tours by reservation only at tours@samara-house.org.

You Greek scholars out there know that isogram means “equal letter.” An isogram is a word that has an equal amount of each letter in it.

GRAMMAR GUY For starters, let’s discuss first-order isograms, which do not repeat any letter.

My name, “Curtis,” is a first-order isogram. So are the words “customizable,” “nightwalkers,” “flamethrowing” and “ambidextrously.” None of these words use the same letter twice! The longest English language isogram, weighing in at 17 letters, is “subdermatoglyphic,” which has to do with certain patterns in our fingerprints (I think).

Things get twice as interesting when we consider second-order (or pair) isograms. That’s when we get into words including “deed” and “noon.” But we’re not here to talk about four-letter words, are we? Let’s make it interesting, why don’t we? The perfect place to start is with “intestines.” Each of the letters appears exactly twice. Of all my friends who are “hotshots,” I would never expect one of

them to be a semi-professional “horseshoer.” I never thought my “couscous” would “reappear.” All the words in quotations in the previous sentences are second-order isograms.

Now that we’re warmed up, let’s go all-in with third-order (or trio) isograms.

These words are about as rare as a “dodo,” which is another second-order isogram. After scouring the worldwide web, the darknet, “Dragnet” and a secret internet just for people who enjoy going into nets (it’s called the “enternet”), I found only four third-order isograms. The list includes “deeded,” “sestettes,” “reprepper” and “geggee” (a victim of a hoax).

Isograms are fun, and it’s easy to find yourself spending two hours or more down the rabbit hole of words containing equal letters.
