To our valued readers: We hope you are well and are enjoying the summer!

It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Noblesville, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose.

Current in Noblesville remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state

we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail.

Our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change.

expect the remaining sites to open by early October.

Fourteen of the 95 sites are expected to open in central Indiana, including in Hamilton County; however, no new sites are planned in Boone County, which has one testing site at the CVS in Zionsville.

Box said the expansion sites are expected to process between 100 and 200 tests per day, depending on population density and demand. Testing will be free at all expansion sites, Box said.

Preparations for vaccine candidates The CDC released guidance to health officials in all states earlier this month outlining preliminary plans for phased rollout of immunizations if a vaccine becomes available.

According to the guidance, limited quantities of a vaccine might be available as early as November. Of the vaccine candidates under consideration, most will require a second immunization at least 21 or 28 days after an initial immunization.

Initial COVID-19 immunizations will likely be made available to staff and residents at long-term care facilities and the critical workforce “that provides health care and maintains essential functions of society,” according to the guidance.

“We understand that there will probably be somewhere between 10 to 15 million doses to begin with out of 330 million individuals in the U.S., so that amounts to just under 5 percent,” Box said. “As we are looking at it, Indiana is using a team of experts to ethically look at and medically look at those individuals who should receive these immunizations first in the state of Indiana.”

A meeting was scheduled for Sept. 11 for states to learn more about how they will receive vaccines. Box said that the state is waiting for more specific guidance before submitting a vaccination plan.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual.

Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

some of those pieces, that will be an opportunity to get authentic pieces.”

After conducting a survey, board President Sandy Stewart said the board made the decision to cancel the Home Tour in July.

“It just wasn’t a time when most people felt comfortable opening their homes,” Stewart said.

Stewart said before the organization begins the renovation, it’s seeking to raise $25,000 to match the City of Noblesville Façade Grant. The hall was originally a church that was built in Ohio and moved to 1274 Logan St. in the 1930s.

“Of course, we won’t raise it all with this event, but we are trying to peck away at it,” Stewart said. “We have great plans. We’re going to put a new covered porch (in). The house has been modernized. We have to restore it to the age of the building.”

Stewart’s husband, Mike, and John Gilmore and friends will provide music on the Preservation Hall porch.

“The goal is to have music going most of the day,” Stewart said.

Donations of items to sell at Preservation Hall drop-off times can be arranged by contacting info@noblesvillepreservation.org, or by calling 317-426-1672.

Jeanette Craw had an idea to replace the popular Noblesville Preservation Alliance’s 2020 Historic Home Tour.

EVENT Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Historic Home Tour, traditionally held the third Saturday in September, had to be canceled.

“It just wasn’t going to be safe,” said Craw, the NPA board vice president. “I’ve always attended when Woodruff Place has its neighborhood flea market in Indianapolis. I’ve talked with other members and we thought this would be a good time to try something like this.”

Thus, the NPA Flea Market will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 19 at Preservation Hall, 1274 Logan St. The hall, which was purchased in October 2019, will be the focal point for the flea market. Other homes along Logan and Clinton streets and side streets will have flea market sales. Craw expects approximately 20 homeowners to participate.

The Preservation Hall sale includes architectural salvage, household items and collectibles.

The homeowners make $20 donations to be part of the flea market sales at their homes.

“Some have been very generous and donated quite a bit more than that,” Craw said. “People are donating items to Preservation Hall for us to sell.”

She said the other homes will feature antiques, arts and crafts.

“One homeowner does sculptures, so there will be some art, and another homeowner repurposes furniture,” Craw said.

“There is going to be a wide variety of stuff.

We captured some of the salvage items from homes recently demolished. People remodeling their historic home and want

Now is the time for surgery to help relieve joint pain Total knee replacement puts former nurse back on her feet

R

ight now, there are many questions surrounding elective surgeries. Is it safe? When can I schedule? Are the risks greater than the reality of continuing to live in pain with less mobility? Those are questions patients should discuss with their doctors.

And now is the time to talk with a doctor and schedule the surgery needed to address joint pain.

Find out what one patient is thinking about as she looks back on her orthopedic surgery and the positive impact on her life.

Meet Brenda ...

Brenda spent her life caring for others as a nurse, and hoped to spend her retirement being an active grandmother and senior. Her knees had different plans for her.

“I was having trouble even walking through the grocery store,” Brenda said. “I like to

bike but, starting about six months ago, the chronic pain had just become unbearable.”

When Brenda came to an Ascension hospital for care, she was not sure what to expect.

“Being a retired nurse who had worked at several hospitals, I know things are not always perfect,” she said.

“But the care at the Ascension hospital sure seemed perfect to me — because they were working together.

“The caring of all the staff was really phenomenal.”

Brenda made the choice to solve her health issues with a total knee replacement surgery, and now she looks forward to living a more active life.

“I got serious about finding care — and the rest, as they say, is history.”

Hip and knee arthritis are common sources of pain and disability, and they worsen over time.

“Early and moderate arthritis is usually well

managed with over-thecounter medicines, light exercise and physical therapy,” said David Graybill, MD, orthopedic surgeon.

“When these measures are not adequate and quality of life is significantly affected, total joint replacement can help many patients achieve improved function with less pain. A discussion between a patient and their doctor can help patients determine their options.”

Brenda took the first step to feeling better.

Other patients are doing the same.

Ascension St. Vincent is fully prepared to provide the back and joint care patients need. The care team’s ongoing commitment is to help keep patients safe while in their care, just as they have always done.

Ascension St. Vincent is

currently scheduling surgery, including joint replacement and spine surgeries. They have strict precautions in place in hospitals, ERs, clinics, and facilities for the safety of patients in their care: • Virtual waiting rooms to keep loved ones connected and updated during surgery.

• Providing medical-grade masks to all who enter hospitals and ERs. • Screening patients, visitors and staff.

• Rigorously and continuously cleaning and disinfecting all areas.

• Designating separate care areas for patients with symptoms of COVID-19.

• Staggering appointments and maintaining proper social distancing in waiting rooms.

• Continuing to wear

appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Ascension St. Vincent also continues to monitor guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and adjust its safety practices accordingly.

Whatever is holding people back from enjoying their lives and passions to the fullest, scheduling now to get the right joint care can help.

Together, patients and their doctors can create a personalized care plan to get on the path to less pain. The first step is to schedule an appointment and learn how to move care forward. Ask if a virtual visit is an option.

Help fallen heroes’ survivors Commentary by Jason Peek Defund the police, huh? Yep, that’s really cute and in the top three — if not No. 1 — on the list of stupidest things PLAIN TALK I’ve ever heard. Keep in mind, I’m a barber of more than 19 years, and I have heard it all.

Here in Hamilton County, we love our police and first responders more than ever, and we will not even entertain the idea of not having them around.

In fact, when Carmel had protests, it was our police department whose officers were present to make sure participants didn’t get in harm’s way with traffic or people while they marched.

We’ve all seen what happens in other cities when they don’t let the police do their jobs. Crime skyrockets quickly. People die, and what happens to women is unmentionable in this space. Not on my watch!

My business, Main Street Barber Shop, is taking donations of checks and cash in our First Responders Bucket, which will be donated to the Indiana Fallen Heroes Foundation to help Hoosier families with costs related to a hero who has died in the line of duty. The funds will help families with unforeseen costs in the wake of their losses.

We welcome all citizens and businesses to donate to this wonderful organization by swinging by the shop, 41 W. Main St., Carmel, and filling the bucket. We have, in fact, already started this effort and will continue this through the end of this month. I encourage everyone who reads this to spread the word to help raise awareness for this cause.

Hamilton County will show support for our public servants that put their lives on the line when called to duty, and we will not defund or bash our heroes. Instead, we will watch out for them. And never hesitate to say thank you to a first responder and give him or her a smile, for they do not ask for much when putting their lives on the line on our behalf.

Thank you for your support!

Noblesville Boys & Girls Club forges ahead with smaller numbers

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Although the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville has reopened, it had to do so with smaller numbers.

The club was able to offer its outdoor camp at Camp Crosser and a day camp program at its facility in June and July. Then, it took a couple of weeks’ break to prepare and open the after-school program Aug. 17.

The program is limited to kindergarten through fifth-graders in three elementary schools — White River, North and Stony Creek — to attend. North Elementary students are dropped off by the school’s bus.

The club picks up students at the other two elementary schools.

“That was basically so we could ensure there was transportation available,” BGCN Executive Director Becky Terry said. “We’re maxing out at 120 kids. That’s the most we’ll take for the time being to make sure we are taking all the safety precautions. We’re able to social distance within the program spaces that we have and (on) the buses as well.”

Terry said the club is still accepting registrations because it is not at capacity. She said the children remain in small groups.

“We’re keeping them with kids from their own school to be able to contact trace if there was ever a case (of COVID-19),” she said. “Staff and kids all have to wear masks while they are in the facility. We’re trying to still have the fun that the club is known for but still keeping safety as the No. 1 priority for our kids and our staff.”

Terry said one of the hardest decisions was limiting capacity to the three elementary schools.

“Based on school proximity and need, we focused on elementary students because if there are middle and high school students that need to go home, it’s a little easier (for them) to take care of themselves,” Terry said. “We typically have a teen program.”

The program is open until 6 p.m., with dinner served two nights a week and a free snack every day.

“We are usually free-flow where the kids can pick and choose what program they want to go to, but now they are in pods,” Terry said. “We’re providing programming in one space at a time so we can clean and

in his office and in court. He learned so much and loved every minute. Braden is hoping they can still do this program, despite COVID-19, this spring.”

Funds needed due to revenue loss

disinfect the spaces between the groups.”

Terry said the club provides homework help, arts and crafts, science, technology, engineering and math programs and computer activities.

“They are getting outside a lot, making sure we’re in gym time,” Terry said. “We’re promoting a healthy lifestyle. We really are providing everything we usually provide in some fashion. It just might look a little different right now.”

While the club was closed in April and May, it held a virtual clubhouse to help with eLearning.

“If we end up seeing the schools close again, we would definitely put that back into place,” Terry said.

McCordsville Elementary music teacher Mandy Greenlee said all three of her children, Trevor, 15, Braden, 12, and Emily, 10, have been actively involved in the club in the past.

“Because of COVID-19, only my youngest is able to attend at this time, but we are grateful for that,” she said. “With elementary school releasing earlier than the high school, she doesn’t have to return regularly to an empty house and the cost is more

budget-friendly than other after-school programs and much more flexible.”

Trevor works at the club, answering phones along with other duties.

“Our favorite program with the club is the election and the follow up job shadow,” Greenlee said. “Every year, members get to run for local office and the whole club gets to practice using the rights to vote to elect each person to fill the job shadow. Trevor was elected to job shadow the Hamilton County prosecutor where he spent the day

Development Director Nathan Helm said the pandemic has created an opportunity for the club to receive more funding.

“The four main ones we received some additional grant funding from are the Hamilton County Community Foundation, United Way of Central Indiana, Crosser Family Foundation and the City of Noblesville,” he said. “It’s kind of an emergency-response funding to that virtual experience ranging all the way up to our fixed everyday expenses. Those groups have been major assets to us as well as we have a lot of individual donors that have stepped up their own support.”

Helm said some fundraisers were delayed or canceled. The annual golf outing, originally scheduled for June, was held Aug. 25 at Harbour Trees Golf Club.

The Ladies Auxiliary Auction, which was scheduled in March, was held outdoors July 24 at the Harbour Trees Beach Club. It raised an event-record $155,000, Helm said.

Terry said a 5K race this month was canceled because the other events — the golf outing and auction — were postponed and put too many events too close together.

The Darlington Bed Race, scheduled for June and then moved to Sept. 18, was canceled because Helm said the race draws a large crowd and it would have been impossible to social distance.

“A lot of donors have been very generous to us throughout this process as we’ve incurred more expenses than normal, also without receiving as much income through our programs and rentals,” Helm said.

That has helped bridge the gap because Terry said there was a $215,000 loss of revenue because the club was closed for 12 weeks, followed by a drop in numbers because of restrictions. There is a scholarship program for families in need.

“We never turn a child away,” Terry said.

“We’ll always work with a family to find that middle ground and make sure we can bring that kiddo into the program.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Strike force

Experts should inform on climate change

Commentary by Terry Anker In the East, the idea was championed

by Sun Tzu, the Chinese general born about 550 years before Christ and best remembered as the author of the classic book of military strategy, “The Art of War.” In the West, the idea was championed by Niccolò Machiavelli, the Italian Renaissance diplomat born about 1,500 years after Christ and best remembered as the author of the classic book of governing strategy, “The Prince.” American President George Washington often used a variation of the concept, as did Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong.

In essence, “the best defense is a good offense.” In politics, law, business, and even board games, a winning strategy is often based on the notion of drawing first blood. Before allowing a would-be opponent to consider her own moves, the aggressor makes hers. By striking first, one gains the advantage of framing the battleground, of reducing the position of the opponent to defend themselves, and by gaining the element of surprise. And once in power, one would be in constant pursuit of out-maneuvering those governed. Each anticipated move by adversaries, or one’s own citizens, should be anticipated and preemptively repressed. Suppressed by fear, most come to live in constant expectation of the unannounced hostility.

But even more, those antagonists have defended themselves from fighting the battle on their own homeland. Stated another way, their own failures and biases are routinely not exposed, expressed or assessed.

The defensively offensive end up reducing vulnerability while the defensively defensive are pushed back against the wall. In an all-out war, maybe all is fair. But what if someone doesn’t intend to go to war? What if the aggressor is just an aggressor and not defending?

Can we coexist with someone bent on a preemptive assault? Or do we have to strike them to survive ourselves?

Let the fantasy games begin!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Heads up, people. Football season is finally here, and this dance mom actually remembered to log in to a HUMOR Sunday night draft in my allguys-except-for-me fantasy league. Do I know what I’m doing yet? No. I think this is my fifth year and I still only recognize players who have retired (so long, Brady!). Do I understand when to start a WR over a RB? Not exactly, though I’ve been advised to have a total of five entered on my roster. Am I going to let any of this stop me from dominating a bunch of beer-guzzling man-children? Bells to the no! I recognize the incredible responsibility I hold to women everywhere. I promise, I will not fail.

Well, I might. My record has been subpar, at best. Usually, I lose a quarterback in the first month or realize too late that all my good players have the same bye week.

And I truly have minimal knowledge of the

strength and weaknesses of the 30-odd teams in the NFL (but at least I didn’t write NHL!).

I do have an awesome name, though — A Girl Has No Name (“Game of Thrones” fans, you’re welcome!), which is half the battle, along with the help of my stats-fanatic son, who dutifully scans my lineup every Thursday to make sure I didn’t start a defense that’s pitted against my premier offensive minions. I also hold some key advantages: I finished in the bottom half last year and I am female. There are literally no expectations of me winning anything. I can only impress!

So, here’s to a victorious football season.

For me, and women everywhere! Peace out.

I also hold some key advantages: I finished in the bottom half last year and I am female. There are literally no expectations of me winning anything. I can only impress!

Editor, This summer, I participated in Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s student advocacy training program. We were asked to write a letter to the editor concerning a climate-related article from any local publication. I wanted to choose Current Publishing, but there was no recent content to comment on.

The lack of environmental articles from Current is alarming. But far more discouraging is the realization that there are more letters to the editor from the community about climate change than there are articles. We leave it up to the community to create a dialogue around climate change. This is problematic because it should be our newspapers seeking to inform the community through experts and facts so that we may make correct conclusions about pertinent issues.

Community members who write to Current and deny climate change on the grounds of opinion are empowered through your publication. Several community members have diligently responded to this misinformation, which is promising. But this back-and-forth conversation over months of publications is ineffective at combating these false narratives.

Current should feel a sense of obligation to dismantle the controversy and misinformation through increased coverage on environmental topics.

Mind over blather Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Here are a few observations about life in my house during the last five months.

1. When my wife asks me what I want for dinner, I’m torn between saying: A. I don’t care B. I don’t know C. Whatever!

2. I love watching golf on TV. If Arnold Palmer is leading the tournament, I’m thinking it may be a repeat.

3. When Mary Ellen and I sit outside in the mornings and talk, after about an hour and a half she’ll say, “That’s interesting. I’ve never heard you say that before.” It’s then I realize that for more than 90 minutes, I hadn’t said anything new.

4. When I see couples walking around our neighborhood, sometimes I’ll see a man in shorts and a T-shirt and his wife is bundled up in a winter coat.

Why would a man marry a woman who is always that cold? OK, that sounds sexist. Why would a woman marry a man who is that hot? I’m only making this worse. Never mind.

5. I have no idea what day it is. My brother, Peter, has the best way to keep track. He looks at his weekly pill divider.

6. My wife has a crush on two TV stars. First, Idris Elba. This 6-foot-3, talented actor is a major hunk with a British accent. She also has a thing for Dr. Anthony Fauci. Standing 5-7, he’s a

Hello. My daughter has pink eye and it’s making her blue.

brilliant immunologist. He is articulate and measured. What do I have in common with either of these men? I was once 5-7.

7. We use Zoom for our church services.

We have several older members in the congregation. When I commented that it felt like “Hollywood Squares,” I was glad a lot of people knew what I was talking about.

8. Health care workers are my No. 1 heroes. Anyone who delivers beer is a close second.

9. I’ve been exercising in the basement. I keep careful track of everything. It’s exactly 53 steps from the furnace room to the couch, another 27 around the treadmill. That takes me 32.6 seconds and it’s precisely .07 miles. Why am I running around my basement when I have a treadmill? Because the machine is covered in winter clothing.

10. My to-do list has nothing on it these days. Now, I have a not-to-do list (don’t go to the movies; don’t get a haircut; don’t go to the YMCA …). The list is long. I’m worried I’ll never get it all not done.

As you can see from that last one, I may be losing my mind.

BUSINESS LOCAL DISPATCHES Video game stock growth — The video game industry is booming. The global video game market is likely to double to $300 billion in revenue by 2025, according to tech research firm GlobalData, driven by the expansion of mobile-phone and online gaming. Also, there has been tremendous growth in games played by multiple players over the Internet, such as Fortnite, in which 100 players fight against one another for survival. And rather than buying individual games in stores such as GameStop, players are paying fees for monthly subscriptions to online services that allow them to stream or download games. Two subscription services, Apple Arcade and Google Stadia, were launched last year, but they’ve had lukewarm results, partly because of competition from free online video game providers such as Epic Games, the privately. Epic made more than a billion dollars in 2019 by selling optional virtual accessories such as character outfits. Investors should focus on third-party video game publishers with a history of churning out blockbuster games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Their stocks can benefit no matter what platform gamers choose to play on or what business model prevails. Two attractive video game publishers now are: • Activision Blizzard (ATVI) hits include World of Warcraft, which has had $9 billion in revenue since 2004. It partners with YouTube to stream live broadcasts of tournaments for games such as Overwatch and Call of Duty.

• Electronic Arts (EA) makes best-selling games such as the FIFA soccer series, Madden NFL and Battlefield Source: BottomLineInc.com Price checking app — To save some money during the holidays, try the free app ShopSavvy.

The Hamilton County Health Dept. has partnered with area school districts to launch an educational PANDEMIC campaign designed to keep kids in school. Called “Show Some C.L.A.S.S Keep Kids in School,” the campaign outlines five basic rules families should follow to help keep children healthy and in the classroom: C – Check your child’s temperature every morning before sending them to school.

L – Lead by example. Let your child see you wearing a mask and modeling good social distancing.

A – Avoid large gatherings. Slumber par-

ties, carpools and birthday parties are discouraged.

S – Schedule a test if you or someone in your family exhibits signs of COVID-19.

S – Stay home until you receive your test results or if you are not feeling well.

The health department has been tracking a significant spike in COVID-19 cases among children — especially teens — since July 4. According to the Indiana State Dept. of Health, children ages 0-19 accounted for just 5 percent of the positive cases on July 4. That percentage has more than tripled to 18.5 percent of new cases the week of Aug. 31. The surge is believed to be due in large part to social gatherings like graduations, weddings and family reunions.

Husband/wife team take on challenge of Ibsen’s ‘Hedda Gabler’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brandi Davis is still trying to grasp the essence of her character.

Davis plays the title role THEATER in the production of Henrik Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” at Westfield Playhouse Sept. 24 to Oct. 4.

“Everything about the role is challenging,” said Davis, an Elwood resident. “Hedda is a very complex character, so trying to peel away all the layers and figure out who Hedda is, is extremely difficult. We’re about three weeks into rehearsal and I’ve played the character different every single night and still haven’t settled on anything.”

Gabler is the daughter of an aristocrat who married an aspiring professor even though she doesn’t love him. The play is directed by Davis’ husband, Adam Davis, who is directing at Westfield Playhouse for the first time.

“This has been a show I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Adam Davis said. “It came across my plate 15 years ago to read this. I was just hooked immediately by the characters and how real they are. Ibsen doesn’t write characters. He writes people into situations. Every time I read it, and I’ve probably read it 100 times in the last 15 years, I find something new or a connection between the characters. The cast is super talented. I was really fortunate with who I was able to cast in the show.”

Westfield resident Alex Dantin plays George Tesman, who is Hedda’s husband.

“It’s a very challenging role because it’s a translated play from (Danish),” Dantin said. “It’s from the late 1880s, so it has a very different tone to it, which makes it difficult to learn all the lines correctly and the way they are meant to be said. I’ve been working on trying to get the lines down and the pattern down.”

Dantin, 43, returned to acting after a 20year absence when he performed in “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” at Westfield Playhouse in September 2019.

“I missed (acting),” Dantin said. “I was looking for something to do during the colder months. I saw Westfield had a thriving community for action and decided to jump back in.”

Steven Marsh, a Carmel resident who has dual roles of producer and cast member (he plays Judge Brack), said the character study and interaction are fascinating.

“It seems like you think you know where the show is going and then it swerves and becomes this character piece where people start ping-ponging off each other,” Marsh said. “I love it when you are surprised by something, even if in hindsight it all makes sense.”

Noblesville High School senior Rosie Allenson is the assistant director.

“This is my assistant directorial debut,” Allenson said. “It is a bit daunting to do it with an adult play, but it makes it that much more exciting. I’ve worked with a couple of these actors before and they are all stunning on stage.”

Allenson read the script before the cast was finalized.

“I read it three times before the start of rehearsals,” Allenson said. “I fell in love with the author’s style of writing. Adam warned me the first time you’ll get the plot and nothing else. The second time you’ll make connections and the third time it will click. It was exactly like that. He has a particular style of writing where you have to dissect to understand certain connections.

Once you understand them, it’s a completely different story. I enjoyed reading it and seeing it on stage.”

Allenson said her role is mostly technical.

“I make sure the blocking doesn’t look awkward on stage and I help with the characterization as well, which I really enjoy,” she said.

Audience capacity will be limited to 25 percent, or approximately 40 people, for each of the eight performances. For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

Child and adult music class set editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel-based Center for the Performing Arts is continuing its popular child and adult music class this fall with two, five-week programs for toddlers and their caregivers.

“Protection YOU Can Trust, From the Family That Cares.”

CHS graduate Horton directs groundbreaking short film

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sydne Horton was sold on film directing when she heard about the plot for “META.” “META” highlights the internalFILM ized battle of trans/nonbinary people when battling dysphoria.

Set during a 1980s-themed prom, the story follows Artie Talbot, a transboy on his senior prom night when he unexpectedly gets his period, which causes a monstrous transformation that challenges Artie’s perceptions of himself. The script was written

by Horton’s friend Savannah Ward.

“The moment Savannah pitched their idea for ‘META’ to me, I immediately knew this was a story that had to be shared,” said Horton, a 2013 Carmel High School graduate.

“I can’t emphasize enough how important and influential it is for people to see a part of themself on screen, and with this film I hope that we are able to connect to those that are searching for their identity or struggling to accept who they are. This film is really about identity as a whole no matter who you choose to love or how you identify.”

“META,” which the writer uses as short for metamorphosis, had its world premiere Aug. 23 at the Outfest Los Angeles Film Festival. Other invites have followed, including the Cannes Short Film Festival, which started Sept. 13. It is slated to be included at the Out on Film Atlanta’s LGBTQ Film Festival, which starts Sept. 24, followed by the Out for Blood at Cambridge UK’s Queer Horror Film Festival in late October.

“I am incredibly humbled and grateful to say that the reaction to ‘META’ so far has been nothing short of welcoming,

Sydne Horton, using a speaker, directs on the set of “META.” (Submitted photo)

supportive and warm,” Horton said. “It’s a genre-bending piece that takes what would be a coming-of-age story and twists it by turning it into an introspective psychological thriller.”

Horton said she hopes one day “META” can be a full-length film. It is just under 10 minutes now. The three lead actors were Jordan Gonzalez, Tess Speranza and Tameka Cruel.

Horton is directing a feature-length documentary that provides a hands-on look into a family separated and weighed down by the societal stigmas of mental illness.

She also is set to direct a music video and a short horror film in the coming months.

Aside from directing, Horton is working with the props team on FX’s “American Crime Story Impeachment,” which explores President Bill Clinton’s impeachment and the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

A history of Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair

DISPATCHES Herb inhibits sugar cravings — A woody climbing shrub that comes from the forests of India and Southeast Asia called gymnema — dubbed the “destroyer of sugar” — is finally making its way to the U.S. New York City-based startup Sweet Defeat is the first company to develop and market the herb to American consumers. The plant has a long history of use in India’s Ayurvedic medicine practices to help patients with diabetes and weight loss. The mint could potentially help the more than 30 million adults that have diabetes in the U.S., according to the American Diabetes Association.

Commentary by Don Knebel One of the most popular destinations for visitors to Sydney, Australia, is named for the wife of a British army offiTRAVEL cer who started the country on the path to what it is today.

In 1788, with the American colonies no longer available as dumping grounds for its convicts, England established a penal colony known as New South Wales on what is now eastern Australia and New Zealand.

The colony was initially governed by military officers, one of whom was William Bligh, the captain of the HMS Bounty at the time of the mutiny. After Bligh was deposed as governor of New South Wales in 1808, he was replaced by Col. Lachlan Macquarie, who was charged with bringing order to the colony, which by then included freed prisoners.

By the time Macquarie returned to England in 1822, he had begun the transformation of New South Wales from a prison colony to a free settlement that included almost 40,000 nonindigenous people.

Macquarie brought with him to New South Wales Elizabeth, a cousin he married after his first wife died. At least according to a local legend, Mrs. Macquarie enjoyed spending time on the tip of a peninsula on

Macquarie built a 3-mile-long road from the Government House to what is now known as Mrs. Macquarie’s Point. Convicts carved the sandstone into the shape of a bench.

Variety is unhealthy — “Eat a variety of foods.” Since the early 20th century, it’s been bedrock advice. The rationale: The more different kinds of foods you eat, the more likely you are to get all the nutrients you need. It’s still the official advice of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Unfortunately, this advice is likely to lead to less healthy diets. People who eat more “varied” diets tend to consume more white flour, sugar-sweetened soda, processed meats and salty snacks.
