Hamilton County Leadership Academy celebrates 30th anniversary by honoring alumni

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Leadership Academy had its own 30-for-30 spin.

HCLA recognized RECOGNITION 30 of its most accomplished alumni in honor of the organization’s 30th anniversary. The HCLA Impact Awards were presented during the eighth annual Leadership Summit June 15 at the Embassy Suites in Noblesville.

“These distinguished leaders are making an incredible impact on where we live, work and play,” HCLA Executive Director Andrea Marley stated. “For our 30th anniversary, it is an honor to highlight and celebrate the service of these award winners — a challenging list to compose due to the extraordinary alumni in which HCLA proudly invests.”

HCLA gave the award to 30 alumni who have distinguished themselves in Hamilton County through the following criteria: Made an outstanding impact on a community through contributions to a nonprofit organization; extensive community engagement portfolio; substantive participation and leadership on community committees, work; evidence of engaging and impact on others in the volunteer effort; leadership in areas of professional or community development; and leadership in addressing issues, influencing change, or pursuing new ideas from the perspective of education, public policy or philanthropy.

In addition, Leslie Henderzahs, a member of its Class of 1995 and a partner at Church Church Hittle + Antrim, was awarded the HCLA’s 2021 Distinguished Alumni Award. The Noblesville resident recently completed a term as president of the Indiana State Bar Association and has served the community through positions on local nonprofit boards.

“The HCLA has fostered a great many leaders, now approaching 800, who collectively make Hamilton County a model community,” Henderzahs said. “Here, we are fortunate to raise our families, stimulate culture and education, and most importantly, come together and call it home. Each and every graduate of the HCLA has contributed significantly to the enrichment of Hamilton County. I am honored to be among this group of fine people who strive for excellence and achievement each day. I am so appreciative of those before us who blazed

the trail.’’

Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt, a Westfield resident, was recognized as an honorary alumnus of the organization for his continued participation on leadership panels and consistent support and stewardship of the Hamilton County Leadership Academy.

“I was honestly surprised and taken back when I found out that I was receiving this award,” Heirbrandt said. “Commissioner Christine Altman got me involved with HCLA immediately after being elected into office in 2013. Each year, the leadership of HCLA has asked me to present a seminar about County Government 101. Over the years, I have seen many HCLA participants become leaders in our community. It is truly gratifying, and I am honored to be recognized by this great organization.”

Historic home tour set

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com After a one-year absence because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Noblesville’s 34th annual Historic Home Tour will return EVENT this fall.

The tour, set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 18, is the primary fundraiser for the Noblesville Preservation Alliance. There are eight homes on the tour, with the focus on the northwest quadrant of Noblesville’s historic district. Nancy Hebel, who co-chairs the tour with fellow Noblesville resident Sandy Stewart, said four homes have never been on the tour and only one of the other four has been featured within the last 20 years.

In addition, the Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail on the square and Preservation Hall, 1274 Logan St., will be open for guests.

“We are going to highlight Preservation Hall and the restoration work being done on our building by holding all special events there,” Hebel said the NPA’s home building.

“There will be a variety of local musicians, artists and authors throughout the day.

We’ll also be selling lunches and drinks so people can rest and enjoy.”

Hebel said each year the NPA tries to include a business or church on the tour.

This year, the tour will highlight Rowland Printing, 199 N. 9th St. It was Noblesville’s train station in the early 1900s.

“The money raised is used for homeowner facade grants, for preservation education and for community projects,” Hebel said.

“Right now, we are dedicating finances, and lots of volunteer hours, to the restoration of Preservation Hall.”

In recent years, the tour has annually raised $20,000 to $25,000.

“This year is unique because we hope people are ready to come back but (we) aren’t sure,” Hebel said.

Advance tickets are $12 for members and $15 for non-members and are available online at noblesvillepreservation.org and in select Noblesville retail stores before the tour. Tickets can be purchased for $18 the day of the tour at the headquarters outside the Hamilton County Historical Society, 810 Conner St., or at the ticket table at Preservation Hall.

Next to home ownership, the cost of college is one of the biggest investments for Americans. People are EDUCATION either trying to pay for college for their children or they are trying to attend college themselves. It is the crux of why many are questioning the value of a college degree. When calculating the cost of tuition and fees, plus textbooks, along with living expenses, college can be expensive.

There are many ways families can reduce the out-of-pocket costs of college. Filing the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, to determine if a student qualifies for federal or state financial aid is one way. Applying for scholarships is another.

Students could even consider living at home with a parent or guardian.

However, even if students qualify for financial aid, other needs such as food, transportation and housing may take precedence, and research shows that more than 65 percent of college students forego purchasing course materials, including textbooks, in order to save money.

To help combat this financial obstacle and ensure Hoosiers can afford a post-secondary education, Ivy Tech Community College has maintained its low-cost tuition model. This year, with the funding support of the Indiana General Assembly, we are pleased to announce that Ivy Tech will freeze tuition for the next two years. This means the cost of tuition will remain with no unexpected increases for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years.

Not only that, but beginning this fall semester, Ivy Tech will pay for student textbooks for at least the next academic year, investing nearly $25 million to cover

the costs of required textbooks. This investment will save students hundreds of dollars each year and, most importantly, ensure they have the materials they need to succeed on Day 1.

We did not stop there. We also know that full-time students, which describes about 25 percent of our student body, need to complete 30 credit hours per year to be considered “on-time completion” for a two-year degree. Ivy Tech will ensure no full-time student will pay more than $4,500 per year for as many credit hours as they want to take. If a full-time student does not complete 15 credit hours in a semester, Ivy Tech will allow them to take up to six credit hours at no charge with a Summer-Flex Scholarship to reach the 30 credit hours needed. This will help students maintain state financial aid eligibility and qualify for more aid dollars.

You may think this sounds too good to be true. We can assure you – it is true! With our new Ivy+ approach to tuition and books, these student-centered initiatives reinforce that Ivy Tech is committed to being your community college, plus remove barriers to student success and completion. Our goal is to ensure Hoosiers succeed in earning a post-secondary credential that either puts them directly into a high-wage, high-demand career, or sets them up for a seamless transfer to a four-year institution where they can complete their bachelor’s degree and beyond.

With Ivy+ we are investing in a brighter, more affordable, future for Hoosiers.

Sue Ellspermann is the president of Ivy Tech Community College. She previously served as Indiana’s 50th lieutenant governor from 2012 to 2016 under former Gov. Mike Pence.

ISDH warns of Delta variant

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indiana State Dept. of Health officials have warned the COVID-19 delta variant could cause another surge PANDEMIC in cases because of a recent spread in the state and because fewer than 50 percent of Hoosiers 12 and older are fully vaccinated.

“The alpha variant that originated in the United Kingdom remains the top variant detected to date; however, we have seen a significant increase in the delta variant that originated in India,” Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said during a July 9 press conference. “The delta variant is now the one we see most frequently.”

The delta variant accounted for more than 76 percent of variants found in the most recent samples analyzed by the ISDH. The variant has shown to be more infectious, easily transmitted and could potentially cause more severe illness than the original strain, Box said. Health officials say the variant’s rise could mean a shift in guidance if case numbers increase.

“I think if we start to see a significant

increase in cases — and we will see a surge of the delta variant; we will be like other countries and other states that have seen this — people will need to be very careful if they are unvaccinated and continue to wear their masks on a regular basis to protect themselves and their family,” Box said. “I think that we are not planning any further restrictions at the state level, but individual communities and schools, in consultation with their local public health (authorities), may decide to make different decisions based on the level of infection at that time.”

As of July 14, 2,879,176 Hoosiers — approximately 49.5 percent of residents 12 and older — have been fully vaccinated.

Health officials have estimated many more residents will need to be fully vaccinated to reach herd immunity. They also say available COVID-19 vaccines are effective against the delta variant.

Barring an unexpected significant increase in vaccine demand, Box said COVID-19 will likely become endemic — meaning the virus, like influenza, will continue to “wax and wane,” particularly in communities with many unvaccinated residents.

Noblesville leads regional charge in pursuit of $50M grant to improve White River opportunities

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville is leading the charge with several other communities to attempt to be named a Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative Grant recipient and receive up to $50 million for the region.

The initiative, also known as the READI Grant, was created by Gov. Eric Holcomb.

The state has dedicated $500 million to promote strategic investments to make Indiana a magnet for talent and economic growth, with each winning region eligible for up to $50 million.

If Noblesville’s region wins, the dollars will go toward the White River Regional Opportunity Initiative.

“They’re asking us to select strategies to make positive developments in the following areas — quality of place and life, quality of opportunity, innovation, entrepreneurship and talent attraction and development,” City of Noblesville Development Director Sarah Reed said.

When the grant was announced, the City of Noblesville hired a consultant and united a group of mayors from Fishers, Carmel and Indianapolis.

“They all got together on the phone and decided to base the READI application around the White River Vision Plan,” Reed said. “I’m very thankful they did that, because doing the grant without some basis would be very hard.”

Reed said Noblesville is defining its region to include counties near the city that are contributing to or are affected by the White River watershed, labor shed and what the city is calling its “recreation shed.”

“That basically means that people will travel up to a certain distance to use an amenity like the White River,” Reed said.

The region includes Noblesville, Anderson, Fishers, Westfield, Carmel, Indianapolis, McCordsville, Zionsville, Hamilton County and Madison County.

The city is asking for information from each municipality in the region to propose projects they feel fit the White River Regional Opportunity Initiative, and then a steering

committee of representatives from each community will prioritize and rank the projects based on a set of criteria.

For Noblesville, Reed said there are three ideas the city plans to submit. The three themes the projects must relate to are environment, equity and economy.

“Noblesville has at least one project for each of those,” Reed said. “One of the projects is, we’ve engaged a consultant that was integral in the White River Vision Plan to look at the hydrology of the White River to make sure the ecology of the river itself is sustainable or else it won’t be an asset

to all of us.”

Another project Noblesville will propose involves working with Nickel Plate Arts for culturally related arts projects along the river.

“One of the things the READI Grant allows us is the ability to move further with a couple of these concepts for projects,” Reed said.

The deadline to submit the plan is Aug. 31. Reed said the state will review the applications in September and October and that Noblesville and its region might be notified if it is selected to receive the grant in No-

The White River Vision Plan was published in 2019 and divides the river into zones intended to reflect the character of the surrounding community. It identified seven anchor areas for exploration. It also outlined proposals for the future of the river, such as a viewing tower at Strawtown Koteewi Park, enhanced river access in downtown Noblesville, improved pedestrian crossings near Conner Prairie and more.

Hamilton County Tourism President Brenda Myers said the WRVP is a 30year plan and that organizers likely will Myers pursue many grants to further the river’s reach and development.

“When the READI Grant opportunity came up and when the community leadership decided that the White River would be the spine of this redevelopment idea, we were thrilled, obviously, because it would give such a lift to the White River itself and to the communities around it,” Myers said. “So, we have now just been working with that team to provide those supportive services and information. We have been studying (the White River Vision Plan) for four years and (the READI Grant team) has been really generous in letting us talk to them about the vision of the plan.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Waiting game

Sympathy for a misanthrope

Commentary by Terry Anker “We’d love to offer you a complimentary coffee,” they say. “Sure, two creams and a sugar,” we reply. Returning empty-handed, they report, “The machine is broken, again.”

It is not an earth-shattering disappointment. Still, their promises urge that we choose them over other dealers because of their great customer service – and free warm beverages! Then the promised parts did not arrive or were never ordered. It seems that there is a parts shortage. Then there was a delay in completing the work. It seems that there is a labor shortage. Then there was difficulty in using the “handy” online process to approve the invoice and pay the bill. It seems that there is an internet efficiency shortage.

After 15 minutes or so of wrangling with a computer and agreeing to all manner of information-probing for reasons that don’t conform with the simple repair work being done, the online transaction is complete. But an unspecified error resets the forms, demanding them to be completed again.

This time, the process goes a bit faster because the answers to the odd questions remain in the human mind longer than they do in the computer’s short-term memory. This time, another error. Contemporaneously, the bank is texting to let us know that the charge has been approved, now twice, even as the service provider’s website is telling us that we need to pay again! So, now we call. The automated attendant tells us that they are “experiencing longer than usual wait times.” No answer here.

So, we go stand in line, in person, and pay as they dictate. The surly employee behind the counter snorts, “This happens all the time.” So much for customer service. What’s our right to expect from their promise? How patient should we be with grand promise and petite performance?

Sometimes, I really don’t like people. And by people, I mean strangers, family, my children, my husband Doo … pretty much everyone. I hate the way they drive, their stupid conversations, the constant “I need you.” I’m blaming this occasional loathing on hormones and the subsequent lack of restorative sleep, but also on the end of COVID-19 mitigation measures. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m beginning to miss quarantine! Let’s explore.

Faithful readers know I am an introvert. Last year’s shutdown and social distancing rules were gifts that kept on giving for me. No large gatherings, no awkward small talk, no one on the roads. It was magical. Now, of course we are basically back to normal. Traffic, long lines, graduations and weddings — humans are emerging from their houses in droves, hell bent, it seems, on aggravating and annoying yours truly.

I was purposely cut off twice in zipper merges the other day because I didn’t “get over” 3 miles ahead of the lane closure. I can’t get a moment’s worth of quiet with nieces and nephews literally running around like proverbial decapitated chickens. I’m ready to evict all four of my precious young-adult angels because, well, they are at home. Living. In close proximity to me. And though we just returned from an amazing anniversary vacay to Washington, I wouldn’t balk if Doo told me he had an overnight business trip. Mama wants her space!

See what I mean? People in general are driving me nuts. And though I realize the problem is certainly temporary, I can honestly say that I really don’t like anyone right now.

Peace out.

American Rescue Plan is good news Editor, In a bit of good news, I just read that Noblesville is giving a $2,000 bonus to each of our police officers and firefighters, and $1,000 to other city employees. These bonuses were made possible by funds given to the city as a direct result of the passage of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Our first responders continue to work hard to keep us safe in a really scary time, and they deserve this recognition. But curiously, our 5th District Rep. Victoria Spartz voted against the American Rescue Plan, putting political affiliation ahead of the people she is supposed to be representing. Taking care of the people who take care of us shouldn’t be a partisan issue, and Spartz needs to start thinking about the impact of her ideology on the hardworking people of Noblesville and the rest of Indiana’s 5th District.

President Biden’s American Rescue Plan is helping the people of Indiana recover from the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, and that looks like good news to me.

Lori Hand, Noblesville

Welcome back Editor, Dear Mike Pence, I read the press release announcing your relocation to Carmel. I live just up the road and wanted to welcome you back home again in Indiana and to the neighborhood. I’m usually around and pretty accessible if you or your family should ever need anything. Our neighbors are great. In a word, quiet.

We value public education and our teachers. We do not discriminate against people based on who they love, their ethnicity, race, gender, religious beliefs or lack thereof. We appreciate facts and open honest communication. I’m sure we will see each other around.

Lifelong construction worker finds relief from severe leg pain through vein procedure Credits care team at Ascension St. Vincent for going ‘out of their way’ to answer his questions and concerns Bruce Brosius began noticing varicose veins in his legs about 10 years ago. But he said it wasn’t until recently that they started to cause him severe pain.

His wife encouraged him to seek care. Bruce said an ultrasound at Ascension St. Vincent detected clotting in both of his legs.

“The clotting was causing me a great deal of pain and swelling,” said Bruce. “The clot was probably the size of a nickel in the side of my right leg, near my knee. It was hard to the touch and very tender.”

Bruce said he believes several factors may have led to the varicose veins in his legs, including being a reformed smoker, his genetics and his demanding construction job.

“I spend a lot of hours standing on my feet, wearing boots and carrying a tool belt,” Bruce said. “I’m doing high-impact work all day long.”

Bruce had a radiofrequency vein ablation procedure on his right leg at Ascension St. Vincent. This minimally invasive procedure uses heat created from radiofrequency waves, delivered through a small catheter, to close off the abnormal superficial veins that cause varicose veins. © Ascension 2021.

“Vein problems run a broad spectrum, from unsightly cosmetic issues to significant health issues and disability,” said Richard Chitwood, MD, a vascular surgeon at Ascension St. Vincent. “Our team of vascular surgeons listens to each patient to determine the care plan for their particular issues and provide appropriate treatment.”

“If I would have known that this treatment was going to be so painless, and that I was going to meet so many wonderful people involved, I would have done this a long time ago.” — Bruce Brosius Bruce said the procedure was quick and simple, and relieved a large amount of pressure from his leg. He speaks highly of the care he received.

“The team at Ascension St. Vincent has gone out of their way to be respectful of my wishes and to listen to all my questions and concerns,” said Bruce. “I cannot say enough good things about them.”

Bruce Brosius, who has been a construction worker for over 40 years, had a minimally invasive procedure to relieve his leg pain.

Bruce said he will continue to see his care teams at Ascension St. Vincent for follow-up care and that he is looking forward to working and riding his bike without leg pain getting in the way.

“If I would have known that this treatment was going to be so painless, and that I was going to meet so many wonderful people involved, I would have done this a long time ago,” said Bruce.

Vascular specialists at Ascension St. Vincent provide a variety of innovative treatment options for men and women needing vascular care, from injection sclerotherapy for spider veins to minimally invasive venous ablation for varicose veins. When bulging leg veins are uncomfortable or when you want help adjusting vein-related skin discoloration, our care teams are ready to help.

Health department to talk COVID-19 vaccinations news@currentnoblesville.com Two pediatric experts will answer common questions regarding COVID-19 vaccinations for children during a July 22 town hall hosted by the Hamilton County Health Dept.

PANDEMIC Dr. Christopher Belcher, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Ascension Medical Group in Carmel, and Dr. Shobana Pandian, a pediatrician at Community Health in Fishers, will lead the discussion and also answer questions.

“I’m a mother of four and completely understand the concerns and anxiety parents may feel surrounding the pandemic and the COVID vaccine,” Pandian stated. “But I had my kids vaccinated and feel strongly it’s in our kids’ best interests to do so.”

Belcher Belcher and Pandian plan to discuss the issue of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle; the potential long-term side effects of the vaccine; and the speed of development.

“There’s a lot of bad information out there. We’re here to set the record straight,” Belcher said. “As someone who has treated kids gravely ill with COVID-19, I’m here to assure you that the risks associated with the vaccine far outweigh the Pandian risks associated with contracting the virus.”

The town hall will be virtual only. It will begin at 6 p.m. To participate, download the link at https://bit.ly/36FlwCN.

DISPATCHES Vaccine clinic to open at Sheridan High School — The Hamilton County Health Dept. has opened a new vaccine clinic at Sheridan High School. The clinic is designed to help boost the number of fully vaccinated residents in northern Hamilton County. Hamilton County is the second-most vaccinated county in the state with nearly 69 percent of its residents 12 and older fully vaccinated.

But there is discrepancy between the northern and southern halves of the county. Only 39 percent of residents in the 46031 ZIP code (Atlanta), 45 percent of the residents in the 46069 ZIP code (Sheridan) and 46 percent of residents in the 46030 ZIP code (Arcadia) are fully vaccinated.

There is no registration for this clinic. Walk-ins are welcome and encouraged. The Pfizer vaccine will be administered which requires two doses.

The clinic will be open during the following dates and times. Second doses will be scheduled at Sheridan High School the weeks of Aug. 3 and Aug. 10.: July 20, 4– 8 p.m; July 22, 4-8 p.m; July 24, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

Vaccinations offered at Colts camp — The Hamilton County Health Dept., along with Indiana University Health and the Indiana State Dept. of Health, will offer COVID-19 vaccinations at Colts Training Camp July 28th through Aug. 19th.

The vaccine clinic will be located in Colts City and open during all practice sessions open to fans.

Staff from the Hamilton County Health Dept. and Indiana University Health will provide the Pfizer vaccine, which is available to those 12 and older.

Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The vaccine is free but proof of insurance must be shown. No appointments are necessary. Staff will be on hand to help schedule second vaccine doses for those who are receiving their first at camp. Those who receive their vaccine at Colts Training Camp prior to Aug. 15 will receive two preseason game tickets to the Colts/Panthers game on Aug. 15. They will also be entered to win a Colts Prize Pack which includes game tickets, an autographed item and a jersey.

Indiana among least-safest states during COVID-19 — In order to find out the safest states during the COVID-19 pandemic, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across five key metrics. The data set includes the rates of COVID-19 transmission, positive testing, hospitalizations and death, as well as the share of the eligible population getting vaccinated. Indiana ranked 10th-lowest among the 50 states.

NOBLESVILLE BREAKS GROUND ON WASHINGTON BUSINESS PARK

The City of Noblesville and Patch Development broke ground July 9 on Washington Business Park, a master planned business and innovation park along Ind. 37 north of 146th Street that will transform 75 acres of undeveloped farmland. More than 500 new jobs will come from building the business park, and the first tenant will be Morrell Group. From left, Noblesville Common Council President Darren Peterson, Patch Development’s Keith Hoener, Mayor Chris Jensen, Patch Development Owner Pat Chittenden and Common Councilor Greg O’Connor break ground on Washington Business Park.

DISPATCHES Stocks that benefit from rising inflation — The last time the annual inflation rate topped 2.5 percent was 2011, when it hit 3 percent. As of November 2020, it was a mere 1.2 percent. And although many economists expect price rises to remain tame, some predict that stepped-up inflation may surface as pent-up demand surges among consumers freed by new COVID-19 vaccines … and trillions of dollars in stimulus money bolsters global economies that were hit by the pandemic-induced recession. For investors, that can be a big problem. Rising costs can eat into profits for some companies, and that can push up interest rates, which hurts bond prices and tends to pull investors away from stocks, depressing those prices. Cushion the effects of swelling inflation by investing in companies that benefit from global economic expansion and rising prices, such as the ones that follow: • Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), the world’s largest copper miner, will see stronger profits due to a 60 percent jump since last spring in the price of copper—-essential for home construction and electric-vehicle production. Recent share price: $24.63.

• Caterpillar (CAT) is a global leader in producing heavy machinery. Rising commodity prices will lead Caterpillar’s customers, ranging from industrial metal-mining firms to agricultural companies,

to buy more of Caterpillar’s excavators, backhoes and bulldozers. Recent share price: $180.96.

• Cummins (CMI). This century-old company will see demand rise for diesel engines that power big-rig trucks and trains used to haul commodities and other goods.

Also, investors are underestimating the profit potential of Cummins’s new “clean–energy” engines that use fuel cells and hydrogen technology. Recent share price: $224.31.

Source: BottomLine.com Facility fee is hidden health care charge — Facility fees are one of the biggest ripoffs the hospital industry has ever come up with, according to Charles B. Inlander, a consumer advocate and health-care consultant based in Fogelsville, Pa.. Across the nation, consumers who go to “off-site” urgent-care centers or medical practices are being charged facility fees that in some cases are higher than the cost of care that was provided. Sadly, the fees themselves are perfectly legal despite complaints to federal and state regulators and legislators from consumers and even some doctors.

The hospital industry defends these “gotcha” charges by saying the patient is receiving better care because the facility has all the hospital’s resources behind it.

Noblesville grad to open for Luke Bryan at Ruoff Music Center

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School graduate Dave Elwert began playing drums for the band Runaway June in early 2020 MUSIC — not exactly the best time to start a new job on the eve of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The drummer made the situation work, though. Runaway June is the opening act for county singer Luke Bryan’s tour, which includes an Aug. 20 stop at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville.

“Runaway June is a female country trio and they’ve been a band since 2015,” Elwert said. “They’ve had some pretty good success. I plugged in with them in the beginning of 2020 and played with them up until the world shut down, and then we all sat and waited. Right now, we are just starting to pick back up. The Luke tour starts in mid-August.”

Elwert, 36, is the band’s tour drummer.

He said he already feels welcome with the band.

“They’re all really nice people, and it’s easy to feel at home in this gig,” he said.

“They have that family environment, and you get along with everyone on the road.”

Besides playing, Elwert enjoys the travel aspect of touring.

“With the fall tour, we are out west a lot, so we’ll play Thursday, Friday and Saturday in California and then have a few days before you play another Thursday, Friday, Saturday in Washington or Colorado,” he said. “So those days in between, all the band guys are trying to figure out how to use those days. We might rent a car and explore the national parks and just get away from the bus for a couple days.”

Runaway June has 50 to 60 shows scheduled, but Elwert will continue drumming even when the tour ends.

“This is full time. It’s my main thing,” he said of playing the drums. “When I’m home (in Columbus, Ind.), I have a home studio and produce artists from Indiana or record my own stuff. My family still lives

in Noblesville.”

Other artists Elwert has worked with include Corey Cox, Christine Nicole and Levi Driskell.

Elwert began playing drums when he was 15. He performed in the Noblesville High School Marching Band, the jazz band and participated in various rock bands in high school.

“It was kind of cool because one of the bands I was in never did anything, but we rehearsed in a friend’s garage who lived a few miles down the road from (Ruoff), and when we would practice in the garage between songs, you could hear the thump of

the amphitheater down the street,” Elwert said. “All of us dreamed of one day getting to play there.”

Although comfortable in front of audiences after several years of performing, Elwert said something about coming home ratchets up his nerves just a bit.

“I honestly don’t really get nervous anymore playing music. I’ve just done it for so long, but when you come home, I get nervous playing in front of my family, but I don’t get nervous playing in front of a bunch of strangers,” he said. “It’s kind of weird.”

Burgerhaus

WEDNESDAY 7PM: Trivia in Alley's Alehouse- top 3 teams win gift cards The Cozumel Burger features pineapple and guacamole. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 89 Veterans Way, Carmel What to get: The Cozumel burger Price: $13 Anna’s take: To be honest, I was pretty underwhelmed with Burgerhaus. I may be going into this with a bias because I’m not much of a burger gal to begin with, but I had been wanting to try the restaurant since it moved into the building next to my office in downtown Carmel. The chef was very kind, and the restaurant does have quite a variety of burger options – of which I tried the Cozumel, featuring grilled pine-

apple and guacamole. The burger makes for a beautiful presentation and picture, but I thought the guacamole was layered on too thick, making it difficult to eat and easy to fall apart. If you like a messy burger, or if you’re one of those “pineapple-belongs-on-pizza” people, this might be the burger for you. I really wanted to like Burgerhaus, but the poorly lit interior and the messy food are reasons I likely won’t return. If you’ve had a different experience, I would love to hear from you.

“The whole play is based off Louise’s letters from Patsy,” said Collins, an ATI co-founder along with Fitzgerald and Don Farrell. “We did it in 2013. It was supposed to be back last year but then everything was canceled. So, we’re trying to stick with the season we were going to do.”

The schedule of four plays was announced July 13 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The first three shows were the same ATI planned for the 2020-21 season before it was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Always…Patsy Cline” is set for Sept. 10 to Oct. 3 at the Studio Theater. “Crazy,” “Sweet

Dreams” and “Walking After Midnight” are just a few of the 27 featured songs in the play. Cline died at age 30 in a 1963 plane crash.

The cast on the other three plays, all new productions for ATI, have not yet been determined.

The second show is “Lombardi” from Oct. 29 to Nov. 21. The play follows former Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi through a week in the 1965 NFL season as he attempts to lead the team to the championship.

The 2022 portion of the schedule begins with “The Big Bang,” from Jan. 28 to Feb. 20. “‘The Big Bang’ is crazy. It’s just two men and a piano on stage,” Collins said. “It’s a wild ride. They’re doing a backers’ audition for a new musical on the history of the world. They act out the whole thing. Everything on the stage is used as a prop. Even though it’s a small show with the cast, it’s a big undertaking.”

“Working: The Musical” is set for April 27 to May 22. The play is based on Studs Terkel’s best-selling book of interviews with American workers.

History of New Harmony’s ‘utopias’ Commentary by Don Knebel New Harmony, Ind., is famous for two 19th-century idealists who established communities there and for IndiTRAVEL ana’s first beer.

In 1803, George Rapp and some followers left Germany to escape regious persecution. Expecting Jesus’ imminent return, these Harmonists established Harmony, Penn., holding property communally and advocating piety, industriousness, celibacy and pacifism. In 1814, after selling Harmony, they acquired 20,000 acres along the east bank of the Wabash River 29 miles from Evansville. In 10 years, about 800 Harmonists cleared 2,000 acres and erected 180 buildings in New Harmony, including log and frame family houses; community houses for unmarried adults; mills; factories; two churches, one in the shape of a cross; a granary; and a brewery. They established an orchard near the river and a hedge labyrinth south of town. In 1825, the Harmonists sold New Harmony for $200,000 (about $4.5 million today) to Robert Owen, a wealthy Welsh industrialist, and returned to Pennsylvania.

Although Owen’s plan for a secular utopia

AT&T Mobility, LLC is proposing to construct a 195-foot monopole telecommunications tower facility located approximately 350 feet eastnortheast of the intersection of North 16th Street and North Street in Noblesville, Hamilton County, Indiana 46060.

failed, his ideas and the people he attracted had a lasting impact on New Harmony and the nation (more next week).

In 1965, the New Harmony Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark. The district includes about 25 buildings from the Harmonist era, including several frame houses and one community house in its original configuration. Another surviving Harmonist community house was converted to an opera house and is now an entertainment venue, as is the granary. The district includes the Harmonist Labryrinth, reconstructed near its original site in 1938.

The devil is in the demonyms Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Beelzebub. Mammon. Legion. These are demon names. Today, we’re talking about demonyms, which are different from demon names. The devil is in GRAMMAR GUY the details, I suppose.

Demonyms are the words we use for groups of people from different places. We get the word “demonym” from the Greek words “demos” (people, citizens, tribespeople) and “nym” (name).

Think about the words “democracy” and “demographic.” These words both have to do with people in a certain region or group.

For example, we call people from Greece (referred to as “the birthplace of democracy”) “Greeks.” That’s a demonym.

Let’s start global. By global, I mean planetary. People from Earth are called Earthlings. If sentient life existed on Mars, those beings would be called Martians. I suppose an alien from Neptune would be referred to as a Neptunian.

On a country-by-country basis, some nationalities have predictable demonyms while others are quite surprising. People from Ireland are called “Irish.” Citizens

of Ghana are “Ghanaians.” This all makes perfect sense. On the funky side of nation demonyms, folks in New Zealand are called “Kiwis” (referring to the wingless bird). People in Ivory Coast (or Côte d’Ivoire) are referred to as “Ivorians.” Locals of the Principality of Monaco call themselves “Monegasques.”

When it comes to our 50 United States, we also see a combination of expected and odd demonyms. I’m from Oklahoma, so I consider myself an “Okie.” I live in Indiana, so now I’m a naturalized “Hoosier.”

While these are probably the most unique state demonyms, I really like the “-er” state demonyms, including “Connecticuter,” “Marylander” and “Mainer.”

One of the state demonyms always makes me yawn. Are you ready? “Utahn.”

It’s hard not to read or say “Utahn” without yawning shortly afterward.

Bradford Equities II, LLC (106 Barrington Commons Court, Suite 726, Barrington, IL 60010) is submitting a notice of intent to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management of our intent to comply with all jurisdictional requirements discharge stormwater from construction activities associated with ‘The Learning Experience’, a proposed Child Care Center located at 0 Promenade Shops Boulevard, Noblesville, IN. Site runoff from the project site will discharge east to the existing ‘Promenade Shoppes of Noblesville’ stormwater system, flowing east to the existing above-ground forebay & detention basin as designed by the overall development’s master plan. Receiving waters of the Promenade Shoppes stormwater system is the White River – Vestal Ditch / Michener Ditch. Questions or comments regarding this project should be directed to the project’s civil engineering firm, Stonefield Engineering, LLC.

originally leading to Harmonist churches, now leads to Church Park, featuring a fountain by Don Gummer, a renowned sculptor reared in Indiana. Reflecting the continuing progressive ideals of New Harmony, its visitor’s center is in the award-winning four-story Atheneum, designed by famed architect Richard Meier early in his career.
