Letters to the editor/ guest columns:

Noblesville Schools made slight increases this year in the percentage of third- through EDUCATION eighth-grade students passing the English and math portions of the state’s standardized ILEARN test.

According to the Indiana Dept. of Education, 43.2 percent of Noblesville students were found to be proficient in English and math.

Noblesville Schools students scored well above state averages.

Statewide, 2022 ILEARN results show 41.2 percent of students are proficient in English/language arts, and 39.4 percent meet that standard in math. In Noblesville, those totals are 55.2 percent and 53.7 percent, respectively.

“Our ILEARN data reflects our students’ performance on this test from the previous year and like all districts, Noblesville students have been challenged with ongoing changes to state standardized testing and recent pandemic constraints,” stated Ryan Rich, Noblesville Schools assistant Superintendent of learning. “Overall, student pass rates have improved in both math and language arts. As always, we carefully evaluate ILEARN data to capture any insights we can from it, and remain confident our students are being well prepared for future educational and career pursuits.”

In 2021, 39.7 percent of Noblesville students passed the English and math tests. Schools did not administer the test in 2020 because of the COVID-19 outbreak. In 2019, 53.2 percent of Noblesville students were found to be proficient in English and math.

“Noblesville students performed better on this test than 90 percent of all students in grades 3-8 across Indiana, and Noblesville Schools remains an A-rated district by the state,” Rich stated. “Having said that, ILEARN is just one of several indicators we use to measure academic performance. Some districts place great emphasis on ILEARN scores, but our focus is on overall academic growth and preparation for real life.”

Council OKs funds for crosswalks

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council on July 26 approved additional appropriations for crosswalk enhancements and a zoning district change for the American EDUCATION Legion Post at 1094 Conner St.. The next council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Aug. 9 at Noblesville City Hall, 16 S. 10th St. What happened: The council passed an ordinance approving up to $85,000 in additional appropriations for the city’s downtown development fund for crosswalk enhancements. No one from the public spoke during a public hearing regarding the matter.

What it means: The crosswalk enhancements are slated to take place at the intersections of South 8th Street and Maple Avenue and South 9th Street and Maple Avenue in downtown Noblesville. City Clerk Evelyn Lees said the city expects to begin work on the project in September.

What happened: Council members passed an ordinance changing the zoning for the American Legion Post at 1094 Conner St. What it means: The zoning will change from residential to downtown for approximately .6 acres, according to the city.

What happened: The council took no action regarding an ordinance that would authorize the city to spend up to $30,000 for a gateway arch with footers in the East Alley within downtown Noblesville.

What it means: The matter will be considered during the council’s Aug. 9 meeting. Lees said the city is obtaining quotes from contractors for the gateway arch project, adding that the authorized spending amount within the ordinance as written may change.

What happened: The council passed a resolution regarding property disposal related to the city’s Pleasant Street project, which is intended to improve east-west connectivity by extending Pleasant Street in three phases.

What it means: City Engineer Alison Krupski told council members in a memorandum that the city must acquire .118 acres from 385 Division St. (Parcel 85). In lieu of purchasing the acquisition area, the property owner and the city have agreed to enter into an exchange/land swap agreement, Krupski said. The city’s property is directly east of Parcel 85 along Division Street, she added. Property owners Charles and Rebecca Morris will be paid $600 to compensate for the gap in valuation.

Noblesville Schools students, staff and parents toured the new Beaver Stadium July 29 during district’s annual ATHLETICS Back to School BASH. The BASH also served as the stadium’s grand opening.

The public explored the stadium while enjoying food, games, sports, giveaways, music and access to community organizations.

Beaver Stadium, 1779 Field Dr., is 21 acres and was built on the former site of Noblesville Schools transportation and district administrative offices. It has 130,000 square feet of concrete paving that links a continuous pathway from White River Elementary to the district’s new tennis facility. The stadium is home to the district’s football, track and marching band programs. It is 50 percent bigger than the previous facility, which was built in 1969. The stadium can accommodate more fans. There are 4,507 seats in the home bleachers and 1,465 seats in the visitor bleachers. Other amenities include large plazas, a Tailgate Town parking lot and direct access to the 7,500-square-foot

The old field will remain a district facility and can now accommodate lacrosse, rugby, band competitions and other uses.

“Our student-athletes feel such an added sense of pride to have the opportunity to play in this facility,” Noblesville High School Athletic Director Leah Wooldridge said.

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville is looking to annex 34 acres of land tied to a $72 million mixeduse development set DEVELOPMENT to include commercial, retail and residential space.

The project, known as Midland Pointe, was unveiled earlier this year and is being proposed at the southeast quadrant of Westfield and Hazel Dell roads. The project is being developed by Old Town Companies, which is also developing a separate mixeduse project in Noblesville known as The Village at Federal Hill located near Federal Hill Commons.

Noblesville Common Council members heard details during the July 26 council meeting regarding the annexation of land necessary for the Midland Pointe mixeduse development project. The project being proposed includes 40,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, in addition to residential space consisting of stacked flats and townhomes.

A portion of the property is zoned commercial, while the remainder is zoned single-family residential, said Joyceann Yelton,

development services manager for the city.

However, rezonings are likely to occur for the project that will go before the council at some point in the future for approval, Yelton said.

She added that the developer is seeking to change the zoning to R-5 (Moderate to High Density Multi-Family Residential District) and to PB (Planned Business) Commercial District.

“Your acreage that will be toward State Road 32 will be the commercial (area) with the remaining acreage approximately 21 acres to the south all being R-5 residential,” Yelton said.

Mayor Chris Jensen, who said earlier this year that the proposed project fits in with the city’s comprehensive plan, anticipates construction to begin next year.

“Now is the time to get investment projects under way on different gateways to add some amenities all over our city,” Jensen said in June. “Our focus obviously is to look at unique options for Noblesville.”

Members of the public will have an opportunity to provide comments as part of a public hearing regarding the annexation during a 7 p.m. council meeting Aug. 9 at Noblesville City Hall.

New Noblesville Schools superintendent has musical background

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com New Noblesville Schools Supt. Daniel Hile has a unique teaching background compared to most in his position.

Hile, 43, started his career as a choir teacher and show choir director before moving up in the administration ranks.

“My family moved several times while I was growing up, and so I lived in a few different states and attended several different schools,” Hile said. “I even lived in France for a year thanks to an exciting opportunity we had as a family. I became very involved with music in high school and enjoyed performing as a member of any music group I could get involved with, including show choir.”

During his time as a student at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, he performed as a member of the Singing Hoosiers and Varsity Singers and participated in the Marching Hundred and basketball pep band.

Hile said Noblesville Schools has an outstanding reputation for music education.

“Performing arts are an important part of the school and community experience and I’m excited to be involved in all that’s happening here,” he said. “Every student activity, whether it be music, athletics, arts or clubs, provides its own unique opportunity for students to find success and a sense of belonging.”

Hile was hired in June to replace outgoing superintendent Beth Niedermeyer, who retired June 30. Hile previously was superintendent of Smith-Green Community Schools, a district of approximately 1,200 students in Churubusco. He was an assistant principal and principal before becoming superintendent in 2017.

Hile, who started July 1, said he is eager to learn more about the Noblesville community by listening and learning.

“Noblesville is one of the best districts in the state, and it is critical that I take time to learn about and understand the history, traditions and norms of the Noblesville community,” he said. ‘Having said that, there are always enhancements to be made, new goals to set, new challenges to address, and higher achievements to reach for.”

Aug. 1.

“He puts a strong focus on relationships and has been busy these past few weeks meeting our staff and community members,” Forgey said. “We’re eager to see how his leadership will continue to grow the district’s success in the future.”

Jeremy Hart, Smith-Green Community Schools board president, said he is confident Hile will achieve the same level of success in Noblesville as he enjoyed in Churubusco, “His commitment to and success at Smith-Green Community Schools as a teacher, building administrator and superintendent is beyond measure and he will be difficult to replace,” Hart stated.

Hile said Noblesville Schools will continue to be focused on building academic growth for each individual student.

“This is something we focus on all year and ILEARN is one of several tools we use to collectively measure academic achievement,” he said. “We expect continuous academic improvement and regularly engage our educators in professional planning, analysis and development toward this goal.”

Noblesville Schools’ 2022 ILEARN scores improved slightly over the 2021 scores, from 39.7 percent proficiency in English and math tests to 43.2 percent this year.

Hile said his management style centers on forging strong relationships.

“I place high value on interaction and

collaboration and believe strongly in the results that can be realized when individuals work together towards a common goal,” he said. “I certainly do not have all of the answers, and I enjoy listening and learning from others so that together we can achieve powerful outcomes.”

Joe Forgey, Noblesville Schools board president, said the community wanted an approachable school leader with strong communication and problem-solving skills.

Forgey said Hile had those strengths and also brings skills in planning, engagement and financial management.

Forgey said Hile was off to a strong start as Noblesville Schools prepared for the start of the school year, which was set to begin

EMPHASIS ON LIFE SKILLS New Noblesville Schools Supt. Daniel Hile said it is the job of parents to teach their family’s personal, political, spiritual and social values and it’s not the role of schools to influence those values.

“However, it is, and always has been, the role of schools to teach life skills,” he said. “I support skills like sharing, kindness, initiative, cooperation, treating others with respect, bullying prevention, drug prevention and managing stress.

Students must have this foundation to be successful in school and, most importantly, in life.”

As far as the hot button issue of Critical Race Theory, Hile is clear it will not be taught in the schools.

“CRT promotes that racism is embedded in our nation’s systems and policies,” he said. “It’s an advanced social concept that should not be part of K-12 education.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Redefining ‘ghost’

Wouldn’t it be nice?

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Ask any person under the age of 30 about Urban Dictionary and you are likely to get a smile before the answer.

Like its Noah Webster predecessor, the “dictionary” teaches us the definition of those words we encounter of which we don’t have an immediate or complete understanding. Unlike these earlier editions (the word “dictionary” is reputed to have been first coined in 1220 in England), this contemporary, online-only version tasks itself largely with explaining the subculture slag of the American variety of the language. Sometimes offensive and often amusing, the crowdsourced definitions help to make sense of the overused jargon of the hip and trendy among us.

Although the now-outdated vernacular seems quaint to us today, the need to understand what someone else is attempting to communicate hasn’t changed much. As we move further through this summer season, we are alltoo familiar with certain headlines, such as historic inflation, unprecedented employment and rising interest rates that do not require explanation. But things like “The Great Resignation” and human “ghosting” are not so familiar. The latter is the case of friends or colleagues of long or short tenure disappearing without notice. The most mature of the lot might send an email or stick a Post-it Note to their monitor: “I’m outta here.”

What? Why? Are they OK? Suicide rates have remained highly elevated, some presume as a residual of the pandemic. When we are ghosted unexpectedly, do we have any obligation to check on the newly self-identified apparition? In a world before virtual relationships, it was harder for the unfriendly “ghost” to disappear without responsibility. Now, the burden is left to others to figure it out.

You may recall that I’ve been doing some therapy to help me like people again, everyone from stupid idiot drivers to my beloved immediate family. For a host of reasons, I’ve been experiencing an unusual amount of anxiety and anger that is not only unhealthy but also kind of a drag. I don’t want to constantly snipe at my kids. I don’t want to shout f-bombs at passing truckers. I don’t want to lie awake plotting my husband Doo’s demise while suffering his godforsaken snoring.

Anyhoo, one The technique of the tools doesn’t always work, I’m learning to but I have noticed use is a relaan uptick in my tively simple happiness level. but powerful – DANIELLE WILSON phrase that essentially forces me into a less fear-based mindset.

When I start to feel irritated or panicked, I say, “It would be nice if …” Something about reframing my thoughts through this particular lens allows me to let go of the negativity, sort of a “Jesus take the wheel” or “inshallah” mantra.

For example, when an 18-wheeler decides to block both lanes in a zipper merge, preventing me from rightfully driving until the actual merge site, 2 fricking miles down the road, I whisper, “It would be nice if this idiot stayed to the left, but I’ll be OK if he doesn’t.” Or when Doo’s nasal antics have my blood pressure soaring for the third consecutive night, I repeat, “It would be nice if Doo could breathe properly so I could sleep, but I’ll push through tomorrow, regardless.”

The technique doesn’t always work, but I have noticed an uptick in my happiness level, and more important, I’m beginning to like people again. It would be nice if this continues!

Peace out.

You’re not the boss of me, OK? Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My men’s group had a discussion about who was the boss in our homes. Many attendees had never thought HUMOR about it and didn’t know how to respond. I told them I was sure I was the boss, but I would check with my wife to see if she agreed.

I do something that may reveal I’m not the boss. Whenever I share with my wife what my plans are, I follow with, “OK?” “Mary Ellen, I’m going to take a shower, OK?” Why have I formed this as a question? Am I asking for permission?

When I was single, I took a shower anytime I wanted; I didn’t need to inform anyone. I could just do it … unless I hadn’t paid the water bill. Why do I need consent now?

In all fairness, my wife has never said, “No, I don’t want you to take a shower,” but occasionally she’ll say, “Don’t use all the hot water.” One morning, she remarked, “It’s about time,” which really got my attention.

Last Tuesday, I said, “I’m going to the drug store, OK?” “Sure. While you’re there, get a bottle of my shampoo and pick up my prescription refill. I also need a L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara, black/brown color.” Any man who can find that earns an A-OK. Yesterday I announced, “I’m going for a walk, OK?” I knew Mary Ellen would have no objection but phrasing it as a question gave her the option to add, “That’s fine, but be sure to bring your water bottle, don’t

track in any mud when you get back, and don’t walk in the middle of the street. The neighbors are complaining about having to swerve around you.”

Is ending with “OK?” a subconscious need for approval in whatever I do? I wish I had just said, “Mary Ellen, I’m going for a walk.”

I tried that this afternoon. Here’s what she said: “That’s fine, but be sure to bring your water bottle, don’t track in any mud when you get back, and don’t walk in the middle of the street. The neighbors are complaining about having to swerve around you.”

So much for that theory.

Mary Ellen may be the boss, after all. She handles all our investments, medical policies, landscaping choices, barbequing, our automatic sprinkler – DICK WOLFSIE system and home security issues, just to name a few of her responsibilities.

Oil changes for both of our cars are my department. That, along with doing the dishes, pretty much sums up my obligations in the Wolfsie household. As you can tell, I don’t do very much. But in all fairness, Mary Ellen won’t let me do more.

After admitting to all of this, starting now I am going to be more assertive in all my conversations and more confident in my decisions, OK?

Is ending with “OK?” a subconscious need for approval in whatever I do? I wish I had just said, “Mary Ellen, I’m going for a walk.”

“We are thrilled to be honored with this award and proud of our hardworking team that truly set the bar high when it comes to high-quality care and customer service,” stated Seth Warren, president and CEO of Riverview Health. “When we opened up our free-standing ER and urgent care locations, our vision was not only to provide patients with a single convenient access point close to home but to also introduce a new way of healthcare that evolved with the medical needs of our community.”

Cracked heels — If you suffer from cracked heels and no amount of cream or lotion seems to help, it might not be dry skin. Instead, it might be because of a Vitamin A deficiency. Eat more foods with beta-carotene including carrots, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes and squash. You may also want to take a supplement of 50,000 IUs daily.

And the whey had a strong and protective impact — insulin levels nearly doubled in whey drinkers

within the first half-hour after eating and remained high. The test subjects were given 50 grams of whey isolate protein dissolved in water.

Source: Diabetologia Cinnamon and blood pressure — Cinnamon has many great health benefits.

Perhaps one of the most significant benefits is its effect on blood sugar. In recent studies, people who ingested 3 grams (about two-thirds of a teaspoon) of cinnamon daily had a significant drop in blood pressure after four months, from averages of 136/88 to 122/80.

Instead, they had weakened muscles that led to falls, causing bones to break. That’s why it’s important for seniors to maintain muscle strength as well as bone strength.

Indiana ranks fourth in unemployment recovery news@currentnoblesville.com WalletHub, a personal finance website, recently released a study titled “States Whose Unemployment WORKFORCE Rates Are Bouncing Back Most.” Indiana ranked fourth in unemployment recovery.

To identify the states whose unemployment rates are bouncing back most, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia based on six key metrics

that compare unemployment rate statistics from May 2022 to key dates in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Indiana had 73,911 unemployed people in May 2022 versus 107,558 in May 2019, 113,785 in January 2020, 405,272 in May 2020 and 133,641 in May 2021. Indiana has the fifth-lowest unemployment rate in the U.S. For more or to view the methodology, visit wallethub.com/edu/ states-unemployment-rates/74907.

DISPATCHES Stocks benefit from cancer test breakthroughs — Amid the race to develop coronavirus tests, vaccines and treatments, many investors might overlook another realm of impressive medical breakthroughs. Molecular diagnostic firms are developing innovative blood tests that can detect many forms of cancer, some even at the earliest stages before cancerous cells mass together. In the past five years, genomic blood testing has become a $6 billion-a-year market, mostly driven by tests such as “liquid biopsies” that allow patients with potentially cancerous tumors to avoid expensive and invasive surgery to remove sample tissue. Over the next decade, the diagnostics market is expected to soar to more than $50 billion annually as companies develop early-detection tests to screen asymptomatic patients for cancers. Three promising companies are: • Exact Sciences (EXAS) had nearly $900 million in total revenues last year, mostly from two products — Cologuard, an alternative to colonoscopies that screens stool samples for colon cancer, and Oncotype Dx, a genomic test that can predict which women with early-stage breast cancer will not benefit from chemotherapy.

• Guardant Health (GH) makes liquid biopsy kits that test for mutations in the tumors of advanced cancer patients to enable proper therapy selection.

• Natera (NTRA) tests monitor for relapses in breast and lung cancer and can identify recurrent tumors months before traditional methods such as CT scans.

The company also is expanding its bloodtest technology to predict whether organ-transplant recipients are likely to reject a new organ.

Recent ads offering full replacement cost are very common. They don’t, however, tell the whole story. Full replacement cost coverage will increase your premium by at least 15 percent and is only good for a limited time period, or specific number of miles.

It might not be worth the extra premiums given the chance of totaling your car is less than 1 percent in a year.

Carmel Community Players’ show depicts explorer’s unbelievable journey

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com “Shipwrecked! An Entertainment, the Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont,” will likely THEATER leave audiences guessing.

The show follows the reported exploits of a Swiss explorer, whose real name was Henri Louis Grin. He began writing about the adventures in Australia in a British periodical in 1898. Earl Campbell plays Louis de Rougemont in Carmel Community Players’ “Shipwrecked! An Entertainment” in the Aug. 12 to 21 presentation at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

“It’s based on the true story of a man, who was an imposter,” Campbell said. “He created a story where he had gone to all these fantastical adventures. He became a Victorian sensation, and his story was then debunked, but then in turn was supported by people who said an octopus can be this big and you can ride a sea turtle.”

Carmel resident Vickie Phipps, who plays several roles, said the play raises some questions.

“It gets you thinking how we idolize our actors or famous people, and we love to tear them down,” Phipps said. “You walk away wondering, did it happen to him, or did he make it up? Are we fools for believing him? Or do we just appreciate a fun story?”

Campbell said it’s a physical role with a lot of movement, so he has had to work on his stamina. Campbell said he started memorizing lines in early June.

“I’ve been in productions where I’ve been on stage the whole time,” he said.

“I’ve never had the demands of this kind of role.”

Campbell, a Noblesville resident, has been waiting two years to portray the character. The show was originally set for the summer of 2020 but was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The play is directed by CCP board president Lori Raffel.

“I’ve worked with Lori several times,”

Campbell said. “Lori asked if I would be interested in auditioning. I looked at (the role) and it scared me because it was so big. The reason I took it is for the challenge of it. When you put yourself out there, it makes you feel more alive.”

The play has long been one of Raffel’s favorites.

“Even though it’s a Donald Marguiles piece, many people haven’t heard of the show, but we did it at the Phoenix (Theatre) when I was there about 10 years ago and it holds a place in my heart,” she said. “Bryan Fonseca directed, and Chuck Goade starred. I did sound. I volunteered to be house manager for the entire run (four weekends, 20 shows), so that I could watch every single performance.”

Carmel resident Phipps was added to the show when a cast member had to drop out when rehearsals began.

“I’m trying to catch up,” said Phipps, who plays eight different roles. “It’s a lot because there are so many different

characters and accents. This is the first time I’ve done multiple roles like this. I’ve probably played two characters but nothing like this. I thought this would be a fun challenge for me. I’ve been studying them per person, not per scene.”

Among the characters she plays are Louis’ mother and a drunken male ship captain. This is her 37th show with CCP. Her husband, Rich, is vice president of the CCP board.

Joe Aiello, who also was slated to be in the show in 2020, plays several characters, including Bruno, the dog, for half the show, and Queen Victoria and a magazine publisher.

“It hurts,” Aiello said of being on his knees playing the dog. “But I have kneepads, so that’s a big help.”

The ensemble includes Hannah Janowicz, Noblesville; Tom Smith, Westfield; Margot Everitt, Indianapolis; and Jayda Glynn, Carmel.

How to avoid ‘udder’ confusion Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I live in a house built around the year 1890. My neighborhood is called “Old Town,” for obvious reasons. The other day an area Realtor GRAMMAR GUY posted a photo of a house from the early 1900s side-by-side with a photo of the same house in 2022. One of the big differences (other than the house isn’t in black-and-white anymore) was the presence of shutters in the earlier photo contrasted with the unadorned windows today. I involuntarily shuddered.

This got me thinking about words we utter versus words we “udder.” You see, it’s easy to confuse -utter words with -udder words, as well as -atter and -adder words, but the difference between these words’ definitions is considerable.

Starting with my first example, a “shutter” is a movable cover for a window or camera. “Shudder,” on the other hand, is a tremble or convulsive movement caused by fear, horror or cold.

When it comes to “matter” and “madder,” getting the right spelling really does

matter. “Matter,” used as a verb, means to have significance. As a noun, “matter” is the physical stuff from which everything in the universe is made. “Madder” is a comparative form of the word “mad,” meaning “angry,” or in the slang sense, “mentally unstable.”

What about “latter” and “ladder”?

Starting with the “latter” (in this case it’s also the former), this word refers to the second item mentioned in a list of two things. Latter can also refer to something later in time. A “ladder” is an object with evenly spaced rungs that you climb.

Yes, spelling matters. When the cold air causes you to shudder, it’s time to close the shutters. Make sure to pay attention to -utter, -udder, -atter and -adder words so you don’t come across as utterly unintelligent.

The flight path of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Penn. (Photos by Don Knebel)

A visit to Flight 93 Memorial: An inspiring tribute Commentary by Don Knebel Today, as we continue our road trip to and from Cape Cod, Mass., we visit the Flight 93 Memorial, an inspirTRAVEL ing tribute to the extraordinary heroism of 40 ordinary Americans.

At 8:42 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93 left Newark, N.J., for San Francisco, carrying seven crewmembers and 37 passengers, including four al-Qaeda terrorists. At about 9:30 a.m., the terrorists killed or disabled the cockpit crew, took control of the aircraft and redirected it toward Washington, D.C., intending to attack the White House or the Capitol. The other passengers learned from cellphone calls that hijackers had crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Just before 10 a.m., the passengers voted to retake control of Flight 93 in any way they could. A struggle ensued between the passengers and the armed hijackers. During the struggle, the plane, going 580 mph, crashed into an empty field near Shanksville, Penn., about 20 minutes flying time from Washington, D.C. The fuel-laden plane exploded on impact, disintegrating everyone onboard.

In 2002, Congress authorized a permanent memorial at the crash site. The first phase, dedicated on Sept. 10, 2011, features the Wall of Names, 40 8-foot-tall white marble panels, each containing the name of a hero of Flight 93. Visitors approach the Wall of Names on a long path that marks one end of the crash site, which includes a grove of hemlock trees damaged by the ex-

Visitor center at the Flight 93 Memorial.

plosion. The Wall of Names adjoins a black granite walkway aligned with the flight path. A ceremonial hemlock gate separates the walkway from a 17.5-ton boulder marking the point of impact. A visitor center, aligned with the flight path, opened on Sept.

10, 2015. A visit to the Flight 93 Memorial evokes powerful emotions, from sorrow to pride. If you are in the area, don’t miss it.
