Noblesville Schools requires masks for all students, staff news@currentnoblesville.com Noblesville Schools now requires all students and staff to wear masks in district buildings.

PANDEMIC Masks were previously highly recommended for students and staff. Noblesville Schools announced in-person learning and athletics, performing arts and special events were at risk because of rising COVID-19 rates leading to an increase in student quarantines. The district said its COVID-19 rates were already at the peak of what they were in the winter of 2020, and student absenteeism rates are among the highest the district has seen.

Noblesville Schools also stated that students are coming to school even with symptoms of illness, despite the district’s protocol that requires anyone with symptoms of illness to stay home.

A press release from the district stated

that the district has noticed “COVID coming into our buildings from those who are not vaccinated and spreading to both unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals.”

“This week we had three major outbreaks that required us to disrupt learning for hundreds of students by quarantining two teams at Noblesville East Middle School and a classroom at White River,” the press release stated. “This was in addition to many other individual quarantines throughout the district. Our mission is to educate students and we believe in-person learning is the best way to do that.”

The district also strongly encouraged its staff, students and families to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. An immunization clinic will operate from 3 to 7 p.m. Aug. 25 at Noblesville Schools Community Center, 1775 Field Dr. The clinic will offer the Pfizer vaccine for students and adults 12 years and older.

ISDH reports data was ‘improperly accessed’ news@currentnoblesville.com The Indiana State Dept. of Health is notifying nearly 750,000 Hoosiers that data from the state’s COVID-19 PANDEMIC online contact tracing survey was improperly accessed. The data includes names, addresses, emails, dates of birth and gender and ethnicity/race.

The state was notified of the unauthorized access on July 2. Last week, the state and the unnamed company that accessed the data signed a “certificate of destruction” to confirm that the data was not released to any other entity and was destroyed by the company, according to the ISDH. When the state was notified, the Indiana Office of Technology and ISDH immediately corrected a software configuration issue and requested the records that had been accessed. Those records were returned on Aug. 4, according to the ISDH. “We believe the risk to Hoosiers whose

information was accessed is low,” State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box stated in a press release. “We do not collect Social Security information as a part of our contact tracing program, and no medical information was obtained. We will provide appropriate protections for anyone impacted.”

The ISDH will send letters to affected Hoosiers to notify them that the state will provide one year of free credit monitoring and is partnering with Experian to open a call center to answer questions from those impacted. In addition, the Indiana Office of Technology will continue its regular scans to ensure information was not transferred to another party.

“We take the security and integrity of our data very seriously,” said Tracy Barnes, chief information officer for the state. “The company that accessed the data is one that intentionally looks for software vulnerabilities, then reaches out to seek business. We have corrected the software configuration and will aggressively follow up to ensure no records were transferred.”

NHS soccer player aims for special season

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com There is good reason why Noblesville High School’s Palmer Ault was named one of the 60 high school All-Americans by the United Soccer Coaches after the 2020 season.

“Palmer has so many key qualities to his game,” Noblesville boys soccer coach Kenneth Dollaske said. “He is tremendous at keeping possession in tight spaces, has vision to find passing lanes most players wouldn’t even notice, cracks thunderous shots that leave opponent goalkeepers confused, and is deceptively quick, both with and without the ball. As he has grown throughout his time with our program, he has learned to embrace a captain’s role and make his teammates better on and off the pitch.”

A forward, Ault had 20 goals for the Millers last season. Noblesville has 13 seniors and several starters returning from last year’s 151-1 team. The Millers were ranked No. 1 in the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association preseason rankings. The season began Aug. 16.

“So, we’ll have a little bit of a target on

Hobbies: Playing golf and hanging out with friends.

Favorite subject: Science Favorite athlete: Lionel Messi Favorite TV show: “Breaking Bad.” Ideal vacation spot: Snowboarding in Utah our back,” Ault said. “There are a little bit of high expectations for (the) season after a disappointing last fall.”

ern in last year’s sectional semifinals.

“We’ve added two great teams from Ohio that we’ve added to our schedule,” Ault said.

“This is definitely one of the best teams in the state. We have the guys to do (win a state championship). It just comes with hard work each day in practice, pushing

each other to be better players along with better people.”

Ault said he has improved his leadership skills.

“I’m trying to lead by example for some of the younger players,” he said. “From a tactical standpoint, I think I’ve improved upon my speed of play. Playing with some older, stronger guys helped me earlier in my career. Having some success at a younger age motived me.”

As a sophomore, Ault was named first team all-state. He played basketball and soccer through eighth grade.

“I enjoyed playing both and didn’t know which one I wanted to focus on,” he said.

“When I got to high school, I decided to concentrate on soccer and pursue that goal wanting to play in college. If a professional chance happens, that would be awesome.”

Ault played for Indy Premier for several years but will join Indiana Fire Academy after his high school season.

Ault said he hopes to make a college decision in the next two months.

“I’d say Butler is my No. 1 school,” said Ault, who also is considering DePaul, Loyola University and IUPUI.

Cooper House to conduct first in-person fundraiser

By Haley Miller news@currentnoblesville.com The Cooper House, a nonprofit home that provides support for children and families in the foster system, will GIVING BACK host its first in-person fundraising event from 7 to 11 p.m. Sept. 17 at Lucas Estate in Carmel. Tickets are $150.

The Bright as the Noonday Soiree will include a live auction, music, dancing, dinner and drinks. Brooke and Kyle Howe, co-founders of The Cooper House, said they want to raise $90,000 or more.

“We’re completely funded by the community,” Kyle said. “We have no contracts with anyone, so the community literally funds our mission here.”

The nonprofit’s mission formally began in 2019 with the founding of The Cooper House, two years after the Howes first became foster parents and learned about gaps they could help fill in the system.

The Cooper House, 239 S. Eighth St. in

Noblesville, now serves as a free location for parents pursuing reunification to receive ongoing support and have supervised visits with their children.

“Fifty percent of foster children are on track to be reunified with their parents, and so the Cooper House wants to rally around that family as support, so that way those kids are going back to a thriving home when they are reunified,” Brooke said.

The Cooper House also offers mentorship and Bible study for parents as well as emergency removal support.

The emergency removal program allows children who have been removed from their previous home to wait in a comfortable, safe space while their case worker finds a new placement.

“It takes a little bit of the trauma off of the kids when they can come to a home-like environment and have volunteers here focus solely on them,” Brooke said.

Noblesville family takes aim at NYC Marathon

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Welcome, Joshua Tieman, MD Plastic surgery encompasses the restoration, rejuvenation and enhancement of patients through the art of surgery. As an artist, Dr. Tieman knew plastic surgery was his calling because it allows him to combine his love of art and helping others.

At Riverview Health Physicians Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tieman offers a variety of services to patients, including body contouring, Botox® and fillers, breast surgery, cancer reconstruction, facial plastic surgery and trauma reconstruction.

What do you do for fun?

“I love to restore and work on classic cars.”

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Tieman, call 317.214.5795 or visit riverview.org.

Jamie Shinneman wanted his wife, Amy, to feel what he felt when he was running.

Amy had weak ACHIEVEMENT muscles growing up and could never run or jump. It was suspected she had muscular dystrophy, but she wasn’t officially diagnosed until November 2018 when genetic testing showed she had Bethlem myopathy, a form of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy that causes muscle weakness in the limbs.

The Noblesville couple used a duo bicycle to train and compete in the Chicago Marathon in October 2019. Now they have set their sights on the Nov. 7 New York City Marathon.

“I am very much looking forward to running the 50th anniversary of the NYC Marathon with my family,” Jamie said. “To have our oldest son, Luke, running with us is a dream come true and we hope our youngest (Jack) will be able to join us when he is old enough, too.”

Luke, 18, is a Noblesville High School senior who competes on the cross country and track and field teams. Jack, 14, also is competing as a freshman on the NHS cross country team. Jamie and Amy are both NHS graduates.

Jamie has already run the Boston Marathon twice. When he completes the NYC Marathon, he will have completed half of the six Abbott World Marathon Majors since Chicago and Boston are part of it, too.

“Amy and I hope to do Boston together as well as the others overseas (London, Berlin, Tokyo) someday,” Jamie said.

Jamie runs approximately 25 to 30 miles

a week.

“Amy and I only do the long run together on Sundays and I run solo the rest of the week,” Jamie said. “There’s nothing quite like being able to run with someone who is exactly the same pace as you to help keep you company during an endurance event like this. She encourages me, prays for me, keeps me up to date on the people following our story, films our journeys and makes me laugh especially when she acts like she’s pulling us up a giant hill with a rope or fishing pole. I don’t think either one of us ever dreamed that we’d be able to do a sport like this together, but ever since we’ve found it, there’s been no looking back.”

The couple has a fundraising goal of $13,000. As of Aug. 9, the team has raised just under $12,000.

Noblesville family to open social recreational center for young adults with developmental disabilities

By Haley Miller news@currentnoblesville.com Grace Ponto, a 16-year-old Westfield High School student, who is on the autism spectrum, has two years before she ages out of the school system. Her parents tried searching for a day center in the area she could attend after graduation, but there were no nearby options for young adults like Grace.

“There are adult day centers for elderly, but that is not the facility we thought she would thrive best in,” said Maureen Ponto, Grace’s mom. “We got a little frustrated and disappointed, so we decided to just take matters in our own hands and open a center ourselves.”

Maureen and David Ponto plan to open Grace’s Oasis, a social recreational center for young adults with developmental disabilities, in Noblesville by the end of August. It is designed to offer caregivers extra help during the day and provide a safe space for clients. Maureen is the organization’s executive director.

Developmental disabilities encompass a range of conditions that may be physical, mental or behavioral. Grace’s Oasis will offer services to people like Grace on the autism spectrum but also people with cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, learning disorders and more.

Priced at $100 for a full day and $50 for a half day, the center has a person-centered intake process, during which the client can decide what works best for their support plan, Maureen said. Group activities, for example, are voluntary.

“In their individual support plan, we will focus on what people want to do,” Maureen said. “It is all up to them.”

David Ponto, assistant director and Grace’s dad, said the space includes a media room, lounge area, library and gym room, but the activities are subject to change depending on the participants’ interests.

Although Grace’s Oasis is a social recreational center and not a medical center, David said he will provide training for staff on certain health issues because he also works as a registered nurse.

The center cannot offer medical treatment but can assist with daily life skills such as toileting and mobility.

“We’re just looking to be able to provide a safe place that people can be reassured that their loved ones are going to be taken care of,” David said.

Full days at the center will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,

with lunch and snacks included and transportation offered at an additional cost. Maureen said Grace’s Oasis wants to coordinate group outings and start a garden in the spring. She said the mission of Grace’s Oasis is to allow likeminded individuals to build friendships and feel safe, nurtured and loved.

“We want to integrate everybody so it’s inclusive for all,” Maureen said. “We want to make sure that our participants get to have the exact same choices and same good life that anybody else has the right to.”

“WE’RE JUST LOOKING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE THAT PEOPLE CAN BE REASSURED THAT THEIR LOVED ONES ARE GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.”

– DAVID PONTO

GRACE’S INPUT Grace Ponto, 16, for whom Grace’s Oasis is named, helped choose many of the activities at the social recreational center for young adults with developmental disabilities.

“A lot of the activities that we have are things that we know she enjoys,” said David Ponto, Grace’s father. “We discovered at a young age, for some reason, that she loves to play air hockey. So, we have an air hockey table there that she will spend all day at if you let her.”

Grace is on the autism spectrum and nonverbal, so David said they have to learn her likes and dislikes through other cues.

“She loves the swing,” David said. “We have a big, giant swing in the back room. That’s another one of her favorites.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Custom service

No shame in Sin City

Commentary by Terry Anker It is terrific to get exactly what we want, exactly when we want it. Beginning in 1974, the fast-food giant Burger King capitalized on what it considered to be a weakness of its competitors — inflexibility. In what turned out to be one of the company’s, if not the nation’s, most successful campaigns, Burger King promised that its customers didn’t have to conform to the taste of someone else.

“Hold the pickles,” the smiling employee said. “Hold the lettuce,” another enthusiastically offered. “Special orders don’t upset us,” they promised in unison. “All we ask is that you let us serve it your way!” The company offered custom for the same price as off-therack. It worked as consumers loved the flexibility.

Times, as they seem to do, have changed. Burger King struggles to find the right advertising strategy — most recently promoting no preservatives with time-lapse images of rotting burgers. It’s unclear as to how this sells Whoppers. Regardless, others have discovered that customers like custom.

And in a world powered by computers, complex algorithms tailoring each element of nearly anything — from travel to tacos — is now simple enough. But more important, we have come to know that à la carte can be highly à la profitable.

Airlines earned $75.6 billion in fees for checked luggage, early boarding, peanuts and assigned seats. Not wanting to fall behind, hotels and others in the so-called hospitality industry are boarding the gravy train. We can expect charges for use of advertised amenities like pools, beach access and utilities (television/internet). With assurances that our individual costs will go down, most accept the pay-as-you go methodology. But is making less money the objective of the business? And is reduced service in the best interest of the consumer?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.”

— WILLA CATHER

I’ve done it, folks! I’ve successfully secured Worst Mom of the Year for 2021.

Instead of seeing a son off to France for his year abroad and taking last “First Day” pictures of my high school senior, I’ve been gallivanting in Vegas, loving every single minute of it. Shame hath no place on a mother’s vacation!

My husband Doo was attending a weeklong conference in Sin City and I decided to tag along, not realizing I’d be missing some major milestones in our children’s lives. But if I learned anything from my dad’s passing last year, it was to live every moment to its fullest, especially if said moment occurs in and around a desert casino.

So, I played the penny slots for several hours and then watched Doo hit on lucky number 13 in roulette. We sat mesmorized at a Cirque du Soleil show, alternating between “What the heck is happening?” and “Holy cow, these people are bendy!” We explored the Hoover Dam in ridiculously hot temperatures before heading to Red Rock Canyon for a gorgeous scenic drive. Although we never once spotted a stupid burro, tortoise, or rattler (as advertised), or actually left our air-conditioned rental car, for that matter, we imagined ourselves quite the nature enthusiasts.

All the while, I’m waiting for confirmation that Son did in fact catch his flight and arrive safely in Marseilles and texting frantic instructions for Senior to take those start-of-school selfies. But honestly, I never really felt that guilty.

Life is too short for shame, folks, even for mothers. “I’d like to thank the Las Vegas Strip, without whom this award would not have been possible!”

Peace out.

No horsing around with this promotion?

Mary Ellen and I went to IKEA when it first opened, just to look around. I was mostly looking for the exit, HUMOR because the place was so massive, I was afraid we’d get lost.

No problem, since there were tiny bedrooms all over the store where we could have hung out for a nice, relaxing evening. Food would not have been an issue, either, since there is a huge bistro located in the center of the store. No need to ask for directions or follow floor markings; just walk toward the smell of Swedish meatballs.

IKEA spearheaded a new promotional campaign to celebrate its company and its customers, featuring the Huvudroll Meatball scented candle, part of the Swedish furniture company’s “Store-in-a-Box” gift, orchestrated to bring the sights, sounds and smells of its hallowed halls inside a surprise package. The candle is just one item in an assortment of merchandise that will be offered to exactly 986 customers on a lottery basis. Why 986?

No clue, but the number does look the same if you turn it upside down, just like the nightstand I bought at IKEA.

As of this writing, the marketing people have not completely decided what else to include in the box, or even how big the box will be. Said one executive, “We still haven’t put it all together, so we are not sure what it will finally look like.” This sounds vaguely like what I said after I tried completing my first IKEA bookshelf.

I think IKEA’s pulled-pork sandwich is delicious. I’d just like to know where they pulled the pork from.

– DICK WOLFSIE The meatballs haven’t been without controversy. Several years ago, IKEA was required to “withdraw” some of their food from supermarkets in Sweden because traces of horse meat were found in the product.

In racing terminology, horses are not “withdrawn,” they’re scratched. But no shopper wants to hear the phrase, “Effective immediately, we are scratching our Swedish meatballs.”

People tweeted about the horsey issue. Here were my favorites: • Tried both beef tacos and horse tacos.

Horse wins by a nose.

• My friend ate it and was hospitalized.

Condition: Stable.

• Ate too much. Gave me the trots.

• My roommate suggested we eat meatballs for lunch. I said WHOA, not so fast.

So, why was horse meat added to some products? Is it cheaper than beef? Aren’t horses harder to catch? Rabbit should be pricey. They should give turtle soup away.

On cooking websites, hundreds of recipes feature horse meat. A noted food critic says, “Most of the dishes are winners.” Seems like the winners would have a better chance of not being on the menu.

I think IKEA’s pulled-pork sandwich is delicious. I’d just like to know where they pulled the pork from.

Meanwhile, I look forward to learning what else will be put in that IKEA box. If I am one of the winners, I hope whatever is in there does not require assembly.

Saying thank you to Noblesville Schools Editor, I’m a parent of a second grader at Stony Creek Elementary.

As a parent, a person of faith and an active participant in the Noblesville community, I have spent enough time over the past several years with cross-sections of Noblesville’s teachers, administrators, staff and board members to trust their collective integrity, honesty and decision-making skills.

I applaud our district staff, led by Supt. Beth Nei-

dermeyer, for working to keep our kids healthy while maintaining in-person education. I thank them for returning to indoor mask wearing, as well as the ongoing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Social & Emotional Learning efforts.

Last school year went relatively smoothly, despite us being in the middle of a pandemic. This notable feat was the result of ongoing planning and implementation by competent and steady leadership. We continue to live through unprecedented times. Our leadership

has answered the call.

Noblesville Schools is not trying to push an ideological agenda on our kids. To suggest otherwise is inaccurate.

I pray for the health and safety of every student in Noblesville, as well as those who serve as teachers and staff.

To our district teachers, staff and leaders: thank you for your ongoing heroic work this year.

DISPATCHES Stocks that benefit from rising inflation -- The last time the annual inflation rate topped 2.5% was 2011, when it hit 3 percent.

As of November 2020, it was a mere 1.2%. Although many economists expect price rises to remain tame, some predict that steppedup 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, rising costs can eat into profits for some companies and 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. Good candidates can be found in the materials and industrial sectors, especially those businesses that can pass along their rising production costs to customers, such as: • 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.

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Versiti Blood Center of Indiana, with a Carmel location at 726 Adams St., Suite 150, and a Fishers location at 1100 SUPPLY S. Allisonville Rd., is running low on its stored blood supply and is seeking more donations from the community.

“Ever since the pandemic really took off in the United States, blood centers have been challenged to collect volunteer donors,” said Dr. Dan Waxman, vice president of transfusion medicine and senior medical director for Versiti Blood Center of Indiana.

Waxman said that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Versiti collected 70 percent of its blood supply from approximately 550 daily donations through mobile collection sites set up at schools, places of worship and businesses. But Versiti has had limited access to high schools and colleges, which ac-

Grand Opening Celebration

counted for 50 percent of those donations.

“On (Aug. 17) when we started out, we had just over 200 units of O-positive, 32 units of O-negative, and that’s about a day-anda-half supply of each,” Waxman said. “We would like to be at a three-day supply (at all times). I would like to see over 400 units of O-positive in my refrigerators.”

Waxman said donations take about an hour, with only 15 minutes accounting for the actual time that blood is drawn. Donors must be at least 17 and can donate every eight weeks. There is no upper age limit, but the donor needs to be at least 110 pounds.

Waxman said people with diabetes or who are on blood pressure medication can donate if their blood sugar or blood pressure is under control.

“You would make an impact right here in Indiana,” Waxman said.

Importance of breastfeeding Commentary by Dr. Cameual Wright August is recognized as National Breastfeeding Month to help raise awareness about the importance of PARENTHOOD breastfeeding for both mother and infant.

Breastfeeding benefits both mother and baby Breastfeeding can help form an incredible bond between mother and baby, in addition to numerous health benefits, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As the infant grows, breast milk changes to best fit the baby’s nutritional needs and protects both mother and baby from certain illnesses and diseases.

Mothers who choose to breastfeed have a reduced risk of ovarian and breast cancer, Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

Additionally, infants who are breastfed have a lower risk of asthma, Type 1 diabetes and sudden infant death syndrome. Breast milk also carries antibodies from the mother, which helps offer immunity to babies before they are able to receive vaccinations and are still building a strong immune system.

COVID-19’s impact on breastfeeding The COVID-19 pandemic has raised many questions for mothers and expecting mothers. If you test positive for COVID-19, talk to your physician about breastfeeding your baby. Mothers who choose to get vaccinated can pass COVID-19 antibodies to the infant through breast milk.

Ethnic and racial disparities of breastfeeding Despite the CDC recommending breastfeeding, national rates remain low, especially among those in minority groups. There are many reasons for this, including historical trauma, access to care, provider bias and promotion of formula by manufacturers.

Culturally appropriate education, increased breastfeeding support and diverse representation within health care should be encouraged and implemented in order to increase awareness of the importance of breastfeeding and help remove these barriers.

Dr. Cameual Wright is a clinical and business change catalyst.

At CareSource, she is the vice president and market chief medical officer for Indiana.

Welcome, Holly Storm, DO Riverview Health Physicians OB/GYN is pleased to welcome Dr. Holly Storm to the team.

Carmel gears up for Artomobilia Weekend

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com With a mix of fast cars, collector cars, rare cars and classic cars — not to mention a car rally and a unique cuCARS linary experience that combines gourmet food and, well, cars — Artomobilia Weekend has something for virtually all car connoisseurs.

“It’s a great automotive weekend that showcases a great collection of cars against the really exceptional assets of the Carmel community, be that the Carmel Arts & Design District, Midtown or the Lucas residence,” said John Leonard, event coordinator for an attraction that has grown exponentially since its launch in 2008. “If you’re interested in cars, this event is perfect.”

With a laser-focus on exotic, classic and unique cars, Artomobilia Weekend revs up Aug. 27 with the annual SHIFT Road Rally through southern Indiana and the Fuelicious auto/dining event at Lucas Estate in Carmel. It crosses the finish line Aug. 28 in the Carmel Arts & Design District with the Artomobilia and Arto-Palooza automotive showcases.

“We have an impossibly broad and deep set of collector classes, enthusiast corrals and specialty groups that have something for every automotive interest,” Leonard said. “Further, the Carmel Arts & Design District, (with) its shops, merchants and restaurants, make for the perfect environment that is perfect for the whole family.”

Although last year’s event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Artomobilia Weekend has drawn 20,000-plus visitors in recent years, with Artomobilia being the centerpiece.

Presented throughout the Arts & Design District, Artomobilia features several hundred enthusiast and collector cars, ranging from original, period-correct cars, exotic cars, classic cars, sports cars and racecars.

“Artomobilia is an eclectic car show, one of the largest and most diverse that focuses on automotive art and design,” Leonard said. “We’ll have more than 500 vehicles, from a 1908 Buick Model F to a

brand-new Ferrari Roma. We (also) feature rare cars that are not frequently seen in public. This year, our featured marquee is Lotus, and we’ll be showcasing the Lotus Evija, a $2.5 million, 2,000 horsepower all-electric hyper car.

“Gator Motorsport and Lotus Cars are bringing it from the U.K. to appear in Artomobilia.”

Rounding out Artomobilia Weekend are the SHIFT Road Rally, Fuelicious and Arto-Palooza.

SHIFT is a private 190-mile driving event through the backroads of southern Indiana. An annual fundraiser for various causes, this year’s beneficiary is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Another annual fundraiser, Fuelicious is a gourmet dining/auto showcase event at Lucas Estate that includes live entertainment and benefits Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana. More than 500 people typically attend.

A relatively new attraction established in 2019, Arto-Palooza is an “event-withinan event” at Artomobilia that will feature three groups of cars: Lotus, Porsche and BMW. “A big part of (Artomobilia Weekend) is

simply the City of Carmel’s support for the event since 2008 and the investment that has been made in the city (throughout) that period of time,” Leonard said. “Carmel is really quite exceptional in terms of its amenities and access to residents and guests. It also provides another perspective on what constitutes art. We believe cars are art, and in many ways (the event) pays tribute to the beginnings of the automotive industry here in Indiana.”

Rock the Junction set for Aug. 28

Grand Junction Brewing Co. owner Jon Knight said the Rock the Junction beer and music festival was origFUNDRAISER inally an avenue for his business to give back to the community.

“From Day 1, we’ve wanted Grand Junction to be involved heavily in our community,” Knight said. “One of the ways we decided we could do that is by putting together a craft beer and music festival.”

This is the fifth year for the Rock the Junction festival. Traditionally held in the middle of May, it is scheduled for 1 to 5 p.m.

Aug. 28 at the brewery, 1189 E. 181st St., Westfield. The event was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The brewery didn’t host the event in 2020. Knight said he expects the 2022 event to be in May. “We’ve probably generated over $50,000 in charity donations from Rock the Junction,” Knight said. “In fact, despite the COVID pandemic, we still donated for two scholarships at Westfield High School without the event.”

Typically, Rock the Junction funds two $2,000 scholarships. Because the event wasn’t held last year, Grand Junction Brewing Co. granted two $1,000 scholarships.

To apply, students submit an essay on why they feel they’re deserving of the scholarship. The essay is the only criteria for the scholarship, which makes it unique.

“It’s very different than other scholarships,” Knight said. “We provide scholarships in particular to graduating seniors pursuing vocational trades, because if you think about it, all the scholarships that are

out there are typically for four-year students with high GPAs, and (those students are) also getting other scholarship offers.

We recognized a need. We recognized there was a gap and there was a need in the community for scholarship money for those students who may not have the highest GPA and those students pursuing vocational programs.

“For example, if someone wanted to go out and study brewing science or become a diesel mechanic or vocational trade, this filled that void.”

The brewery is expecting 1,000 people for the event. Knight said he expects tickets to sell out. Twenty-five breweries, wineries, distilleries and cideries will provide samples for attendees. The brewery will be closed to the public during the event but will open when it ends. Three bands will perform: The Dead Squirrels, Fast Cadillac and Chasing Katie.

Besides providing scholarships, Grand Junction Brewing Co. also has donated to charities such as the Westfield Youth Assistance Program, Indy Honor Flight and Indiana Suicide Prevention. For more, visit rockthejunction.com.

appointed Ana Hammersley as the new director of individual development to serve both organizations. Hammersley has served previously in key fundraising positions at the Orlando Science Center and the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, both in Orlando. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Rollins College and received training through its Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership.

What to get: Salmon bowl Price: $14.99 Anna’s take: This week’s column takes a bit of a different spin. I recently took a vacation to Michigan and stopped at Saugatuck, the halfway point to my destination, on the way back home. After a friend mentioned how much they loved visiting Saugatuck, I thought it would be a good idea to share one of the quaint town’s restaurants with our readers. Saugatuck has lots of waterfront-dining opportunities and endless restaurant options, but my travel companion (my mother) and I needed something quick and easy so we could beat a fast-approaching storm. We stopped at Fresh Basil Café, a little café with-gluten free and vegan

Saugatuck makes for an excellent weekend getaway, or at three hours away, it could even be a day trip if you’re feeling ambitious.

Visiting Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial Commentary by Don Knebel The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, about 100 miles south of Indianapolis, recognizes the 14 formative TRAVEL years Abraham Lincoln spent in Indiana.

Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 near Hodgenville, Ky., to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. In 1816, after losing three farms in title disputes, Thomas moved his family to Indiana because of its reliable land surveys and slavery ban. He purchased 160 wooded acres from the federal government in what is now Spencer County for $320, payable over time. He built a one-room log cabin and began clearing about 80 acres.

When Nancy Lincoln died of milk sickness in 1818, Thomas buried her on a hilltop 1,500 feet from the cabin, establishing a small private cemetery. In 1827, Thomas Lincoln relinquished his claim to 80 acres and received clear title to the remainder. In 1829, he began building a new log home, but moved his family, including his second wife and stepchildren, to Illinois before completing it.

In 1879, with increased interest in all things Lincoln, Peter Studebaker of South Bend erected a head stone over the probable location of Nancy Lincoln’s grave. In 1917, archeologists discovered hearthstones from the unfinished 1829 house. In 1925, Indiana acquired 60 acres, including the cemetery and cabin site, and opened the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial, with an allée designed

by Frederick Law Olmstead leading to the cemetery. In 1934, a mile-long Trail of Twelve Stones was added, marking significant events in Abraham Lincoln’s life. A bronze monument symbolizing a cabin foundation and fireplace was added. In 1943, Indiana

completed a two-wing limestone memorial building, honoring Abraham and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, at the south end of the allée.

The site, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, now includes a reconstructed 1820s farm, with staff members in period dress answering questions about the time the Lincolns lived there.

Bid adieu to words of ‘wisdom’ Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Have you ever tried to sound smart, and, as a result of doing so, used the wrong word? I’ve noticed this recently when people conGRAMMAR GUY fuse the words “ado” and “adieu.”

The first thing I think of when I hear “ado” is Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” I think Jerry Seinfeld got his idea for a “show about nothing” from Shakespeare’s play. “Ado” means “fuss, turmoil or hubbub.”

When people hear us use words like “ado,” they think we are the type of folks who know stuff about Shakespeare. Just don’t be surprised when you get peppered with a question about Richard III’s Machiavellian rise to power. If that happens, simply jump through the nearest window.

“Adieu” is French for “goodbye.” In the same way the Spanish compound word “adios” literally means “(go) to God,” “adieu” also means “(go) to God.” The original French phrase was “A dieu vous commant,” which translates to “I commend you to God.” In fact, this translation

is identical to the phrase “a dios vos acomiendo,” from which we get the word “adios.”

These fancy foreign language goodbyes began with strong religious overtones.

Similarly, the English word “goodbye” was initially a contraction for “God be with ye.”

Now we just say “bye.” “Bye” is shorter but doesn’t sound nearly as artful as “adieu.”

If you don’t understand all the ado about “ado” and “adieu,” imagine you’re at an exclusive roof party in a secret neighborhood in Brooklyn called NoHoSoBro. At the end of an extravagant night of martinis and overpriced fish eggs, you make your exit by saying, “Thanks for inviting me to your soiree, Beyoncé. Ado!” Because of your fancy phrasal faux pas, you won’t ever again be able to locate the secret neighborhood of NoHoSoBro.
