Referendum for safety, educational staff moves forward to November election

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

On the cover

Two years ago, Noblesville Schools passed a referendum to maintain the status quo of its daily operations.

SCHOOL FUNDING Now, the district is looking to pass a new referendum to replace it and make district-wide changes.

The operating referendum, which will be voted on by the public Nov. 6, would provide additional funds to the district to pay for safety enhancements at all schools and to retain and recruit Niedermeyer teachers with competitive salaries. The Noblesville Schools Board of Trustees voted July 17 to put the referendum question on the ballot.

The rate set by the referendum is applied to every $100 of a home’s assessed value and is paid through a resident’s annual property taxes. The current rate is 18.9 cents. The pro-

posed rate is 37 cents.

“We’re looking to increase all of our safety enhancements, and this would primarily be around staffing,” Noblesville Schools Supt.

Beth Niedermeyer said. “Some examples include additional (school resource) officers in every building, at-risk coordinators in every building and a full-time safety director.”

Since the 2016 referendum, Niedermeyer said other area districts have increased teacher salaries significantly.

“We’ve faced some challenges related to that,” she said. “We’ve lost some folks to other surrounding schools Phelps because we couldn’t compete. The national teacher shortage has really impacted all schools. So, it really has become a lot more competitive in terms of salary, and we’re all vying for the same top candidates.

What we want to do is make sure we are able to recruit and retain them by offering salaries that are competitive with other Hamilton

County schools.”

The new operating referendum would provide funding primarily for safety staff and general teachers through 2026 but also for other safety enhancements like security cameras.

“There are very strict rules (on how operating referendum monies can be used),” said Robin Phelps, executive director of business at Noblesville Schools. “But we can pay for some equipment out of it.”

As of July 11, Noblesville Schools employs 674 teachers.

“In some cases, our teacher salaries can be up to $10,000 less than neighboring districts,” said Marnie Cooke, director of marketing and communications at Noblesville Schools.

“Teachers who are leaving for neighboring districts have cited salary as the reason for leaving. Our political action committee will have a website (milleryes.org) again, like we did in 2016, that will have a calculator on there. It also will have a bunch of frequently asked questions, voting information, etc.”

July 27 will mark the fifth Back to School BASH for Noblesville Schools.

Each year before the first EVENT day of school, the district partners with local organizations to present a community event, particularly for Noblesville Schools students and their families.

This year, the district is partnering with Noblesville Parks and Recreation to move the Back to School BASH to Federal Hill Commons, 175 Logan St., Noblesville. In the past, the event has been held around the downtown courthouse square.

From 5 to 7:30 p.m., attendees can enjoy games, food, art, local vendors and more.

“This event is a celebration for Noblesville Schools students returning to school after

summer break, but it also highlights the special connection between the district and the Noblesville community,” said Marnie Cooke, director of marketing and communications for Noblesville Schools. “We invite all community members to join in the fun and learn more about Noblesville Schools.”

“We’re pleased to partner with Noblesville Schools on this celebration and believe that it will become another exciting offering at Federal Hill Commons,” said Mike Hoffmeister, assistant director for Noblesville Parks.

“The BASH also will be followed that evening by a Shakespeare in the Park performance at Federal Hill, so we encourage families to stay for a great theater production and for Shakespeare fans to come early and take part in BASH activities.”

Typically, the event draws approximately 5,000 guests.

Golf outing to benefit local recovery center

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

A golf outing in memory of Trevor Vautaw will benefit Transformations Center for Healing Aug. 5.

FUNDRAISER “It is a memorial golf outing that actually a local family out of Noblesville started,” said Beth Bishop, fundraising and development director at Transformations Center for Healing. “The Vautaw family began it in memory of their son who died from a drug overdose.

They initially started the golf outing and then a couple years ago partnered with Transformation Center for Healing to donate all the proceeds to us.”

Transformation Center for Healing is a year-long recovery program for women. The faith-based organization is based in Noblesville. Funds raised at the golf outing assist in payment for treatment for some of the women. In past years, the fundraiser has raised more than $30,000. This year, Bishop said the goal is to break $40,000.

“Change and overcoming addiction is not just a short-term process but a lifelong journey so we feel having a long resident program is a huge asset to getting over some of the initial hurdles in developing

behaviors and patterns to help women be successful in their journey,” Bishop said.

“We offer scholarships for women to go through the program because a majority of the women we work with cannot afford to pay out of pocket.”

The golf outing is $125 per person and includes a box lunch, a dinner, a silent auction and golf. The event takes place at Fox Prairie Golf Course, 8465 E. 196th St. Registration begins at 10 a.m. and golf begins at 11:30 a.m. Sponsorship opportunities also are available.

HAND hears from residents on city’s housing needs

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Housing and Neighborhood Development, Inc. recently held six public input sessions to update its housing PUBLIC FORUM strategy for Hamilton County.

The Noblesville session took place July 13, and residents discussed what affordability means and access to affordable housing in the city.

One of the topics discussed was how Hamilton County is heavy in hospitality industry jobs, but those jobs don’t always provide workers with high enough wages to afford housing in Noblesville and elsewhere in the county.

“The hospitality industry is not a highpaying industry, but it is a growing industry in Hamilton County, and we struggle with finding people who can afford to live here and work in our hotels and our restaurants,” said Sarah Buckner, destination development manager for Hamilton County Tourism. “So, there’s a lot of turnover, especially in our hotels.”

Many of the residents who attended the input session described a starter home as costing less than $100,000, but Noblesville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director

Bob DuBois said houses at that price typically aren’t available in the city.

“In this community, starter homes are $170,000, and those are the lowest price points,” he said. “Those are very difficult to find.”

HAND Executive Director Jennifer Miller said even when a lower-priced home is placed on the market, it is often purchased by buyers looking to flip the house to make a profit. She also said between 2000 and 2015, household incomes only increased 21 percent but rents increased 51 percent.

“Affordability is defined as paying 30 percent of your income towards housing and utility costs,” Miller said. “If the community has become less affordable over time, prices have risen faster than wages and people’s incomes.”

HAND hosted a series of similar public input sessions around Hamilton County to learn more about local housing affordability and to prepare and send an updated housing assessment to the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, which is required every five years.

HAND’s 2018 Housing Conference is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Cambria Hotel in Westfield. The conference is $65 to attend. For more, visit handincorporated.org.

More online safety, 1:1 iPads coming to schools

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com When Noblesville Schools students return Aug. 1, they’ll all have an iPad at their disposal.

TECHNOLOGY Beginning this school year, the district is completely 1:1, meaning each student from kindergarten through 12th grade will be issued an iPad. Students in kindergarten through third grade who are receiving an iPad for the first time will not be able to take it home. Students in grades four through 12 will still use iPads as they have in the past.

With the influx of devices, Noblesville Schools’ technology department also is working to increase students’ online safety.

“Online safety is a big topic, and obviously it has to be a partnership between our parents and schools and teachers,” said Andrew Swickheimer, Swickheimer directory of technology at Noblesville Schools. “On the school side, we do a lot of work educating our teachers with their curriculum because obviously we want digital citizenship, online privacy, safety, security and all those topics to be naturally embedded into the classroom.”

Elementary students in the district rotate through a technology class, just like music, art and physical education classes. Swickheimer said the class is an added dose of digital citizenship and safety.

“Students are learning about it with their general education teacher and in their technology class,” he said.

For teachers, in addition to becoming educated themselves, monitoring tools are important in making sure students are safe online and using the iPad only as a classroom tool.

A new monitoring tool, Bark for Schools,

which keeps an eye on Google applications like Gmail, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google Drive, also will be introduced this year. “(It) will monitor our G Suite environment,” Swickheimer said. “G Suite is the primary office productivity environment we use, and so all of our administrators are now going to be able to monitor all of that.”

Additional work also is being done to enhance filtering through YouTube SmartPlay, which helps prevent inappropriate YouTube content from reaching the devices.

The district always has monitored what students search on school-issued devices.

“If a student is searching something that would be a red flag, like suicide or anything threatening or bullying, it alerts our administrators,” Swickheimer said.

“With 1:1 iPads, there’s a tool called Apple Classroom where our teachers can monitor what each student is doing,” Swickheimer said. “They can see their screens, lock them into a screen, distribute content to a student’s device, or, if a student is off task, they can disable their device for a period of time.”

The district also is compliant with the Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000,

Sixth-grade teacher Sarah Cocks works with a student using an iPad. (Submitted photo)

meaning through its technology department, inappropriate content is filtered out on student devices at home and at school.

“We have Apple Classroom, Bark for Schools, safe search queries, CIPA-compliant filters and YouTube SmartPlay, and when

you pair that up with the education and training that we do with our teachers and students, we have a lot going on,” Swickheimer said.

Swickheimer said parent involvement also plays a vital role in keeping students safe online.

“We always try to do parent outreach,” he said. “We have a Parenting in the Digital Age online course and a whole section of our website with resources for parents. We have a newsletter parents can subscribe to where we send out bi-monthly tips and tricks on how to make sure they’re keeping kids safe at home. We’ve had a lot of events at our schools, too, which we do every year.

Last year, we hosted a viewing of the documentary ‘Screenagers,” and we also hosted a social media night in the spring with our parents and secondary administrators.

We’ve also had parent safety meetings at all of our elementary schools.”

Online safety seminars and events have not yet been scheduled for the 2018-19 school year, but updates can be found at noblesvilleschools.org and will be communicated to parents when they are set. To learn more about online safety in the schools, visit noblesvilleschools.org/technology.

Kaleidoscope Krossing makes cards for students

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com One local business owner is doing her part to make sure sixth-grade students entering Noblesville GIVING BACK West Middle School for the first time feel welcome in the wake of the May 25 shooting at the school.

Beth Wood, owner of Kaleidoscope Krossing at 185 S. Eighth St., Noblesville, held a three-day open-house event where students and families could come into the art center and create handmade cards to be distributed to the students during an orientation night at the end of this month.

“We’re trying to make just over 500 cards, because there are ballpark 500 sixth-grade students coming into Noblesville West Middle School,” Wood said.

“These are the first kids coming into a new environment after going through the May 25 shooting. They haven’t been in Noblesville West, and this is a way of welcoming them into the school and trying to ease anxieties, which you would already have coming into a middle school, let alone after what we just went through.”

Compiled by Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

Wood has a child at NWMS, and she said learning of the shooting was the worst phone call she ever received.

Kaleidoscope Krossing has four offerings: creative arts workshops, faith-based programming, community outreach and private events. Wood said the card-making is an example of how her business fulfills its community outreach mission.

Noblesville Schools enhancing safety protocols, security staff

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools administrators have worked tirelessly to implement district-wide safety changes after the May 25 shooting at West Middle School that left COVER STORY one student and one teacher injured.

“School safety has always been important to Noblesville Schools, but after May 25, we have been working nonstop,” Noblesville Schools Supt. Beth Niedermeyer said. “It has changed our landscape forever. We will always look through a May 25 lens now.”

Two weeks following the shooting, the Neidermeyer district’s safety committee presented a list of immediate and potential safety changes to the school board at its June 12 meeting.

“If you look at the timeline, from May 25 to June 12, when we had our school board meeting, we had all of the recommendations and proposals from our safety committee, and then we added some,” Niedermeyer said. “So, from June 12 to today, we have spent that time seeking vendors, working with them, having them come out to all our schools, learning what the needs are for the items we’re requesting and getting quotes.

It’s been a Herculean effort to get all of that done.”

Changes and enhancements include services offered to staff and students; additional staff and increased security and counseling presence at each school; and physical, tangible changes to how all buildings operate. Administrators said many of the proposed changes are contingent on the passing of a new operating referendum.

“Some of these are things that we’re doing already, and some of these are things that we’d like to pursue if we have the funding from the (operating) referendum,” said Marnie Cooke, director of marketing and communications at Noblesville Schools.

Right now, Cooke said the district is adhering to 90 percent of the school safety guidelines set by the Dept. of Homeland Security, a figure she says she hopes will continue to increase as changes and enhancements are made.

COUNSELING CHANGES

Counseling teams at Noblesville Schools were quick to respond to the needs of staff and students after the May 25 shooting at West Middle School.

Within an hour after the incident, the district gathered staff counselors and outside counselors which it partners with to provide services.

Students will return to school Aug. 1 with an enhanced police presence. (File photo)

“We started offering counseling on May 25 over that entire weekend for all students and all staff,” said Laura Dennis, director of student services at Noblesville Schools. “We primarily focused in on students who were directly in the classroom (of the shooting). They had individual group sessions that were tailored towards them, and the when we brought everybody back to school (May 29) they came back in two-hour increments, and with that, we Dennis had more than 50 counselors available as well as therapy dogs and art therapists.”

Dennis said those efforts continued through the rest of the week until the last day of school, June 1. Throughout the summer, the district offers counseling at the Educational Services Center at 18025 River Rd. each Friday to any parents, students and staff who request it.

With school about to resume, administrators say increased counseling will remain available.

“We’re going to have additional support at all the back-toschool events for West, including the days when teachers come back and the first few days when students come back,” Dennis said.

Another service offered to students is the SpeakUp app, a platform in which students can confidentially report dangerous or destructive behavior.

“We’re going to do more to promote the use of the app as well as educate students on when to use it, how to use it, and we’re also expanding to add fifth grade into that, where before it was just grades six through 12,” Dennis said

STAFF AND VOLUNTEER CHANGES

SAFETY DIRECTOR — Mark Booth serves as both the director of special education and director of safety. Niedermeyer said the district’s goal is to hire a full-time safety director.

“This person’s total focus would be safety, which is huge,” Booth said.

AT-RISK COORDINATORS — Noblesville Schools has one at-risk coordinator at the high school, Deanna Cummins, who is Booth responsible for supporting and monitoring at-risk students. However, another of the district’s goals is to have an at-risk coordinator at each of its 10 schools.

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS — During the safety update

at the June 12 school board meeting, Booth announced the district’s plan to have a school resource officer in each school.

“The Noblesville Police Dept. has told us that as of Aug. 1, they will be doubling the police officers in our schools and increasing police patrols,” Cooke said. “They have also told us that they are beginning to hire and train new police officers to increase their school staffing to triple the number of original officers, including officers in all elementary schools later this school year.”

TANGIBLE CHANGES

PORTABLE CLASSROOMS GONE — One of the first things Noblesville Schools changed was eliminating all of its portable classrooms -- small structures that housed classrooms outside of the school building to accommodate space needs.

METAL DETECTOR WANDS — Earlier this month, Gov. Eric Holcomb’s office announced a program through the Indiana State Police and the Indiana Dept. of Administration for schools to apply for metal detector wands.

The program will provide one handheld wand for every 250 students in any public or private school.

“We have applied for these tools, and they will be used in cases where reasonable suspicion exists and for random screens,” Cooke said.

CAMERAS AND ACCESS — Another change will increase the monitoring of security cameras at each school. In addition, the way parents, visitors and the general public enter buildings could change. In the past, guests have been able to enter through the first set of doors into the vestibule of a school building to ring into the central office through a camera and intercom system. A proposed change would move the same system outside before a guest could enter any part of the building.

“More changes are coming regarding student and visitor procedures,” Cooke said.

“I think the important part of this is that it’s a combination of things,” Booth said. “All of these factors are just one piece of the puzzle. Even with all of this, we will not be putting out every safety measure that we practice. There won’t be a time where we say, ‘This is our whole emergency procedure plan.’”

Information regarding further safety changes will be reported by Current in Noblesville as decisions are made public.

She holds a master’s degree in educational leadership from Indiana University.

Angie Gingerich will be stepping into VanDermark’s assistant principal position at North Elementary. Gingerich brings 18 years of experience in education to the role, having served as a Noblesville Schools teacher,

instructional coach and coordinator of the Miller Explorers before- and after-school care program. She ha a master’s degree from Ball State University and a principal licensure from Purdue University.

Andrea Lee is the new assistant principal at East Middle School. She joins the school from Center Grove Community School Corp., where she served as an assistant principal for the past five years.

Our selection team feels confident they’ll be great additions for our district.”

3 tips for a smooth back-to-school transition — It’s time to get back into your school routine, which can be cause both relief and stress at the same time for parents and students alike. Here are three tips for a smooth transition: 1) Set a family schedule. This means gradually tapering off later bedtimes and enforcing an earlier wake up call. If meal times have gotten lax, it’s also a good idea to start working back toward your school-time schedule.

2) Stay organized. From weekly meetings to extracurricular activities and weekend sports, try using lists and charts to stay organized. Especially as kids grow older and their activities lists and school deadlines expand, keeping track of everyone can become a real chore. Find a place in the house where you can post calendars and lists that everyone can see. Try colorcoding by child or type of activity (school, work, sports, etc.) for extra organization.

3) Buy supplies ahead of time. Don’t wait until the last minute to search for school supplies. Buying necessary items ahead of time can alleviate the stress of not being able to find what you need, and spreading out purchases over time can eliminate a major one-time hit to the family budget.

New vaccine requirements for students — There are new vaccine requirements for incoming sixth and 12th grade students beginning Aug. 7 of this year. The Hepatitis A vaccine is now required for all sixth and 12th grade students. The vaccine requires two doses given at least six months apart.

Read with animals — From 11 to 1 p.m.

July 28, Hamilton East Public Library will host the next event in its Love On A Leash series, where children can read to animals to practice reading out loud and to build self-esteem and confidence. No registration is required. For more, visit hepl.lib. in.us.

Golf outing benefits Indy BackPack Attack — Indiana Members Foundation, the charitable arm of Indiana Members Credit Union, hosted its 10th Annual Golf Outing June 27, where 112 golfers raised more than $31,000 to benefit the Joan Wolfe Legacy Grant Program, Indy BackPack Attack School Supply Drive and local nonprofits that serve youth in the communities in which Indiana Members Credit Union Serves.

District launches online store news@currentnoblesville.com

Noblesville Schools recently launched an online store for spirit wear and other items.

From T-shirts, hoodies and SCHOOLS baby onesies to ties, bags, coffee mugs and more, the district is working with Noblesville-based T&T Sales and Promotions, a shop that specializes in promotional items, to bring Miller Mall to the community.

The name Miller Mall was chosen by the district through a social media poll.

“We’ve heard the demand from the community for greater selection and access to Noblesville Cooke Schools spirit items and are excited to be able to offer this service,” said Marnie Cooke, director of marketing and communications for Noblesville Schools.

“The offerings will be updated seasonally and will be a wider selection of Miller and school-specific goods than what has been available in the past. Most importantly, a significant portion of proceeds from these sales will be returned directly to Noblesville Schools to help fund our education needs, so customers can know their purchase from our store is making a difference.”

Cooke also said items will be added to the store as seasons change, and special gift items will be available during the holiday season.

T&T will manage the online store, which can be found on Noblesville Schools’ website (noblesvilleschools.org) or accessed at millermall.itemorder.com. T&T also will be responsible for product fulfillment and delivery.

“We’re honored to have been selected to partner with Noblesville Schools on this project,” said Laurie Dyer, co-owner of T&T. “As a Noblesville Schools graduate and parent, Noblesville Schools Education Foundation board member and lifelong Noblesville resident, I am a proud supporter of our schools.

Helping others express their enthusiasm for Noblesville Schools through promotional items is one of the best parts of my job.”

Items ordered through the store will be available for home delivery or for pick up at T&T at 15320 Herriman Blvd. For more, visit noblesvilleschools.org or millermall. itemorder.com.

Personal insecurities Commentary by Terry Anker

Long lines and minor indignities have become a part of the national ethos in the wake of countless incidences of terrorism here and abroad. We queue for sporting events, airplanes and government buildings. For the most part, the transaction is handled comfortably with as little inconvenience as possible. Still, some express frustration at the bureaucracy and expense required to administer. It seems the only thing more troubling than airport security may be airport insecurity. Our fear leads us to invest tremendously in our protection.

In some primordial fashion, it has kept us alive. We, the successful progenitors of humanity, have learned to approach risk with utmost caution. Still, if possessed by anxiety of the perils of the world around us, do we give up too much? If we fear growth, we are protected from its jeopardies but stunted in our development. Do our personal insecurities secretly holding us back?

Secure or insecure, no one succeeds lifelong without continuing maturity and improvement. Does framing our challenges as a matter of security or insecurity distract us from the important objectives at hand?

At this point, is how we feel about our insecurities as important as meeting our best capacity? Is it like our complaining about how insecure we are in our snug, skinny suit rather than spending the energy counting calories and planning the next day’s meals? Sure, we have come to rely on natural tendencies toward insecurity to keep us safe. But, do we hide behind them?

READER’S VIEW Farm bill is a win for Hoosiers

Editor,

Agriculture is an essential part of the fabric that defines Indiana.

Right now, Hoosier farmers and our communities are navigating significant challenges dealing with turmoil on the international marketplace, uncertainty in federal policies like the RFS and low commodity prices that in many cases are below the cost of production.

Importantly, the Senate recently passed a farm bill that I helped write, which would provide Hoosier farmers with some desperately needed stability. I’m proud of the Hoosier input and bipartisan work that went into getting it passed.

Combatting the opioid epidemic in rural communities remains a priority for me, and this bill includes three of my bipartisan provisions that would combat the opioid epidemic by targeting telemedicine and community facility investments for substance abuse treatment and by investing in prevention and education programs.

This bill would eliminate potential disincentives for voluntary conservation practices like cover crops and would support soil health improvement programs.

As Hoosier farmers work to sell their

products around the world, the bill would increase export opportunities for Hoosier farmers through two export promotion programs: the Foreign Market Development Program and the Market Assistance Program.

I also have worked to ensure full planting flexibility for farmers who want to plant fruits and vegetables, which ensures farmers can diversify their farms without worrying about losing access to commodity-support programs in the future.

As we work to fight hunger, this farm bill would strengthen the oversight of the SNAP, while preserving the ability to fight food insecurity.

Now that the Senate has passed this bipartisan farm bill, I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House of Representatives to reconcile differences so that we can quickly get this to President Trump’s desk. Farmers and rural communities across our state deserve the certainty of a bipartisan, five-year farm bill, and I am confident that, working together, we can get it done.

For the full letter, visit youarecurrent. com.

U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly, Indianapolis

Can you solve this problem?

Six family members need to be at 27 places throughout the day. There are only three cars, one of which has a broHUMOR ken fuel gauge and no AC. The youngest, who cannot legally drive, and the second son are scheduled to work at noon. The older daughter, who’s had her license for all five days and is highly questionable in even a smidgeon of traffic, has color guard at 10 a.m. but will need lunch at 1:30 p.m. The first born, owner of the aforementioned janky car and part-time salesman for Cutco, has two appointments with potential knife-buying customers and “thinks” he’s out of gas. The father, whose office is the farthest away, prefers to retain transportation. The mother’s schedule is flexible, but if she’s required to negotiate too many roundabouts in high heat she’ll experience acute nausea (the struggle is real!).

The question is, how does this family survive the summer while staying fully employed and out of therapy?

Such is my daily logistical nightmare.

Every morning I consult my calendar and try to determine the best strategy for using our limited vehicular resources. Sometimes, we can rely on grandparents or friends to help, but usually it’s me orchestrating some major mommy magic to get everyone to and from work/practice on time and without sibling infighting.

My younger son assures me that within the month he’ll have enough cash to buy his own ride, but that still leaves the rest of the summer for my role as miracle maker.

So, if you can solve this problem, contact me immediately. And seriously consider law school. You’d crush the LSAT. Peace out.

Frustrated after watching numerous clients do push-ups with incorrect form, fitness trainer Matt Shade FITNESS was inspired to create a new workout device. The Push Up Machine promotes a nocheat, full range of movement push-up using sliding handles that isolate the chest, shoulders, triceps and core.

“I wanted to create Shade something whether you are a younger athlete or a beginner, something that would enable you to get into proper form and teach proper mechanics of the push-up,” Shade said.

Shade graduated from Carmel High School in 1991 and studied recreation management at Indiana Wesleyan University until 1995.

He also played on the IWU basketball team all four years.

After college, he obtained his personal training certificate in 1996.

Shade owns Fit Livin’ training in Noblesville and created PUM LLC in 2015 for the Push Up Machine, which received patent protection in 2017.

Through testing, Shade said PUM resulted

in less shoulder injuries, increased strength and performance and a stronger core.

“The patented technology behind it (provides) the ability to use the power and the movement and gravity, (which) combines in a whole new functional strength that I have not seen by any other exercise,” Shade said.

Shade launched an Indiegogo campaign to create brand awareness and raise funds to manufacture the first 2,000 devices. It reached $18,966 of the $20,000 goal as of July 16. The Push Up Machine is available for $99 with an estimated delivery in October.

This would allow pharmacists to print customized doses of various meds printed onto a single tablet.

CHS graduate Park’s movie to make debut in Indy Shorts Festival

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Justin Park is hoping his success will inspire other high school filmmakers.

The 2018 Carmel High School FILM graduate has directed a narrative short film, “You’ve Been On My Mind,” that will be screened during the Indy Shorts International Film Festival, set for July 26 to 29 at the Newfields at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The event is presented by the Heartland Film Festival.

“It’s sort of in that style of musical from the 1960s,” Park said. “One of the most unique things about the film is not only is the cast and crew from the high school, we also had the music composed and produced by high school students.”

The movie is just under 8 minutes.

Emma Hedrick, another 2018 CHS graduate, composed the title track, “You’ve Been On My Mind.”

“The film itself has been a longer project. It’s been over a year,” Hedrick said.

“Originally, when Justin asked me to compose for the film, I wrote something and that didn’t take very long. I worked on it for an hour or so in study hall time. Then I worked with it in a small jazz band time arrangement. We recorded it and I forgot about it. Justin was filming additional scenes, so I sent him a voice memo with lyrics I wrote to go along with it, and he really liked the lyrics. So, we had to rerecord with the lyrics and did a smaller combo. The original one was mostly horns playing the melody.”

Hedrick is headed to the University of Miami to study vocal jazz performance.

Park, whose film “Kara Deady: The Pole Vaulter” was the Indiana Documentary winner in the High School Film Competition at Heartland in 2017, is going to study film at New York University this fall.

“This is the first time we’re showing it to the general public, and we hope they enjoy watching it and they can appreciate all of our hard work,” Park said. “I hope our film can inspire other high school filmmakers that they can do bigger projects.

From left, “You’ve Been On My Mind” members Madeline Hatfield (actor), Ayden Stewart (actor), Michael Doman (cinematographer), Justin Park (director), Luke Belcher (musician) and Emma Hedrick (composer). (Submitted photo)

Just because they are a high school student doesn’t mean we have to do smaller shows. We put together a team of people of different backgrounds and interests and we’re all excelling in our fields. We’ve managed to come together as a team and complete this project.”

The film will be shown at 4:45 p.m. July 27 and 12 p.m. July 28 at DeBoest Lecture Hall.

‘Grateful’ set for film festival Park was director of photography for another film, “Grateful.”

“It wasn’t easy to balance both things together,” Park said.

“Grateful” is a 17-minute documentary, which chronicles the story of Jenni Berebitsky, who is battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Berebitsky, 42, was diagnosed nine years ago in March of 2009. At the time, she was told by a doctor she had 18 to 24 months to live.

Amy Pauszek, whose Where’s Amy column appears in Current editions, is one of

the executive producers and co-producer for the 17-minute documentary.

“Her story will warm your heart while teaching us to live an engaging, productive and meaningful life,” Pauszek said.

Pauszek met filmmaker and co-producer Paul Nethercott last year at the Heartland Film Festival, where they both had films.

“We had connected as filmmakers and shared a common interest of making films that will make a difference,” Pauszek said.

Nethercott contacted Pauszek after the festival in late November 2017 and told her he was planning on directing a new documentary short on Berebitsky.

“After we met a few times and having known Jenni through the Heartland Truly Moving Jury Committee, I knew this was the next short I had to produce,” Pauszek said.

The film will be shown at 5 p.m. July 26 and 7:45 p.m. July 29 at the Toby Theater at Newfields For more, visit indyshorts.org.

Wray appears in ‘The Secret Garden’ editorial@youarecurrent.com Amelia Wray is ready for the challenge.

Wray, a 13-year-old Carmel resident, will appear in a lead role as Mary Lennox in Summer Stock Stage’s “The Secret Garden” from July 25 to 29 at Park Tudor High School.

“I’m very excited to take on this role,” Wray said. “This is my first summer doing Summer Stock Stage as well as my first role having a British accent.”

She is taking lessons to learn the accent via FaceTime from Jennifer White in Australia.

Also appearing in the show from Carmel are Michael Krauter as Fakir, Herron High School, and Olivia Wise, ensemble, The Orchard School.

Cast clicks in ‘Guys and Dolls’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Emma Smiler has found preparing for “Guys and Dolls” to be a blast.

“I love the show. What I THEATER specifically love about our cast is that it doesn’t matter what part we are, what school we come from, what our personality is, we’ve already connected strongly, which is really helpful for the characters in our show to connect for the story to come to life,” Smiler said.

Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Program will present the classic musical from July 26 to 29 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The performances will be 7 p.m. July 26, 27, 28 and 2 p.m. July 29.

Smiler, who will be a Carmel High School sophomore in August, portrays Martha in the mission band. Melody Barrows, who will be a Westfield High School senior, performs as mission band member Agatha.

“It is challenging to keep from being boring because the mission band has to be very stern and proper most of the time,” Barrows said. “I like playing this character because it allows me to stretch my acting abilities.”

Smiler

Barrows

The show is Barrows’ fourth with YAP. “I enjoy coming back every summer to pursue my passion and spend time and work with the wonderful YAP community, directors, designers, costumers and cast,” she said.

Jacob Schilling, who will be a Fishers High School junior, is in his second YAP production, having appeared in “Grease” in 2017.

Schilling plays gambler Bennie Southstreet in “Guys and Dolls.”

Schilling is quite familiar with the musical because he worked on the tech crew for Fishers Junior High School’s “Guys and Dolls” production.

“I know the plot, the characters and the music,” Schilling said. “I was really excited to actually be in the show for the first time.”

ATI seeks to increase fan base

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Actors Theatre of Indiana started in 2005, its productions were held all across the Indianapolis area.

AUDIENCE When the Center for the Performing Arts opened in Carmel in 2011, the Studio Theater became ATI’s permanent home.

However, ATI agreed to present a show in Indianapolis when operators of the District Theatre asked ATI to present the first show at the newly renovated Indianapolis theater on 627 Massachusetts Ave., formerly Theatre on the Square.

“We are big on this regionalization of the arts,” ATI Executive Director Jim Reilly said.

“We’re are trying to take down the barrier at 96th Street. About 10 percent of our subscribers come from Marion County.”

ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald, Don Farrell and Cynthia Collins appear along with Logan Moore in “Forbidden Broadway,” which opened July 5. The musical comedy has five more performances before its run concludes July 29.

“In a way, we’re re-introducing ourselves to Indianapolis,” Farrell said. “We want to

continue to build our audience base and let people know there is theater going on above the 96th Street border. There is sometimes negativity with Indianapolis versus Carmel. I love all the people at IRT, Phoenix Theater and Beef & Boards.”

ATI will conclude its 2018-19 season with an updated version of “Forbidden Broadway” April 26 to May 19, 2019.

Billy Kimmel, who has acted in “Forbidden Broadway” through the years, is directing and choreographing the District Theatre version as well as the updated one.

Commentary by Mark Johnson Where to go: Michaelangelo’s Italian Bistro Where it is: 550 Westfield Rd., Noblesville When it’s open: Monday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Mark’s take: Perhaps the best part of entering Michaelangelo’s Italian Bistro is the enchanting aroma of Italian cuisine that greets diners. Add to that an elegantly casual vibe and you have all the ingredients of a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

Of course, the aroma is only the beginning.

A menu loaded with the best of Italy awaits: appetizers, salads, soups, pastas and pizza.

You’ll enjoy it all with family, friends or someone special in an unforgettable dining excursion.

Lasagna Classico. (Submitted photo)

What to get: Yes, I do eat more than just lasagna, but not on this trip. The Lasagna Classico is undeniably enticing. Coupled with a side of the Italian Wedding Soup, the lasagna is quite filling but not excessively so. A Yuengling completes the beverage portion of the meal.

What’s the cost: Entrees run $10 to $18.

‘Soul Sisters’ features dance blend

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dance Kaleidoscope’s “Soul Sisters” features a unique blend of dances to the music of Ella Fitzgerald, JaPERFORMANCE nis Joplin and Aretha Franklin.

“This is the first time these three pieces have been performed together and they really complement each other,” Dance Kaleidoscope Marketing Director Paul Hansen said.

The performances are set for 8 p.m. Aug. 4 and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 5 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

David Hochoy choreographed the piece.

Jillian Godwin performs to the music of Janis Joplin.

“David captures the power and pain in Janis Joplin’s voice through fast, syncopated movements that go with her more upbeat songs; and slow, sensual gestures to compliment her ballads,” said Godwin, an Indianapolis resident.

Godwin said Joplin’s songs provide the inspiration with the rawness in her voice.

“I try to channel her pain in a solo I get to perform to ‘Me and Bobby McGee,’” Godwin

said. “We’ve all experienced people who ebb and flow in and out of our lives, leaving us feeling empty, longing for their touch or yearning to hear their voice one last time.

I draw on my own experiences as well to depict a story of love, loss and acceptance.”

Courting moot points Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

American automobiles from around Cuba. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Cuba’s classic cars

Commentary by Don Knebel Many visitors to Cuba take at least one ride in the island’s time-defying vintage automobiles. Appearances can TRAVEL be deceiving.

During the 1950s, wealthy Cubans and American expatriates imported thousands of automobiles made by Chrysler, Ford and General Motors. Reflecting the styles and tastes of the time, most of them featured lots of chrome and brightly colored, often two-tone, paint jobs. When Fidel Castro took control of Cuba in 1959, he barred importation of automobiles from the United States and other non-communist countries as symbols of capitalist excess.

The American embargo then precluded the sale of spare parts to Cuba.

As the miles piled up on the now irreplaceable vehicles, necessity gave birth to hundreds of Cuban inventors. Mechanics kept cars running hundreds of thousands of miles beyond their expected lifespans by substituting engines from wrecked and abandoned Russian cars for the Detroit-made V-8s and fabricating parts in their garages. In the meantime, some of the automobiles, such as

the 1955 to 1957 Chevrolet Bel Airs, had become classics in the United States.

When Americans began visiting Cuba in larger numbers during the Obama administration, they found automobiles on the streets they could see only in car shows back home. When the Cuban government began allowing its citizens to operate independently in the tourist economy, owners of 60-year-old American cars, passed down from their parents and grandparents, found visitors willing to pay $30 an hour just to ride in them, a sum more than the daily wage of the average Cuban. Once inside, passengers often realize that new paint can make old automobiles appear showroom new from the outside, but paint can’t cover ripped upholstery and replace headliners. For most visitors, such concerns are quibbles. More important is that they have ridden and been photographed in icons of mid-20th-century America.

DISPATCHES Home security tips — When traveling, resist the urge to post vacation photos until after you return home. Otherwise, you announce to the social media world that your home is unattended. Also, don’t check in to places via apps such as Facebook. Finally, set your email autoreply to unavailable, rather than on vacation.

Mark polarized plugs — Whether it’s poor eyesight or furniture obstructing the view, sometimes it’s hard to tell which prong of a polarized plug is the larger one. To make it easier, use a sharpie to make a dot on the top of each plug. Then, if something gets unplugged, it will be easier to get it plugged back in the right way.

Joey: All right, Rach. The big question is, “Does he like you?” All right? Because if he doesn’t like GRAMMAR GUY you, this is all a moo point.

Rachel: Huh. A moo point?

Joey: Yeah, it’s like a cow’s opinion. It just doesn’t matter. It’s moo.

Many of you remember the “Friends” episode entitled, “The One Where Chandler Doesn’t Like Dogs,” in which Joey Tribiani further confuses an already confusing phrase. Many people get “moot point” confused with “mute point,” but Mr. Tribiani adds another (and hilarious) phrasal faux pas to the list.

The correct phrase, of course, is “moot point,” which is an inconsequential or irrelevant point. “Mute” here certainly makes sense. I think the idea is if you mute something, you can’t hear it anymore. But “moot” came first. So, what exactly is “moot”?

Moot is something that is open for debate. It comes from the Old English word gemot, which was any legislative or judicial court where people would meet to

discuss a matter. A moot point was something that hadn’t yet been decided. It’s where we get the word “meet” from.

How did something that meant “up for debate” become known as something trivial and irrelevant? Welcome to Moot Court.

A moot court is where law students competitively hone their arguing skills. It involves a simulated appellate court case, where students focus on the application of the law to a standard set of evidentiary suppositions, facts and clarifications to which the competitors are introduced. In other words, moot court is made up. The debates held at moot courts are purely academic. Other than a nerdy way for law students to get better at lawyering, the outcomes and arguments make absolutely no real-world difference. They’re moot points.

Moot can, therefore, either mean “debatable” or “irrelevant.” In the U.S., it will almost always mean “irrelevant.”
