Council talks new subdivision, Finch Creek TIF Compiled by Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council met Sept. 10 at City Hall. Councilor Brian Ayer was absent. The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 24 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St., inside the council chambers on the second floor.

What happened: The council introduced an ordinance amending a development plan for the Chick-fil-A restaurant at 14098 Bergen Blvd.

What it means: Petitioner and owner PB&J Prop Exchange, LLC, is requesting additional canopies and additional landscaping for its restaurant in the Saxony Corporate Campus.

Noblesville Development Services Manager Joyceann Yelton presented the ordinance.

“Chick-fil-A has employees that take orders while standing out in the weather, and this is one of the ways they have provided protection to those individuals,” she said.

Because the ordinance was only being introduced to the council, no action was taken. Read more on Page 22.

What happened: The council introduced an ordinance proposing the amendment of city parking procedures.

What it means: Noblesville Police Dept. Chief Kevin Jowitt presented the ordinance.

“This has been a long time coming, but after a great deal of work, after a great deal of people, including some members of the council, the chamber of commerce, many businesses owners and many within city government, we have proposed changes to the parking ordinance, which has been in existence since 1989. We think we’re going to enhance the parking situation considerably.”

The proposal includes a revamped area of two-hour parking on the square and approximately one block beyond in each direction. Metered and free surface lots will remain the same, but perhaps the biggest shift outlined in the ordinance is a change of 19 blocks to free, unrestricted, on-street parking.

Because the ordinance was only being introduced to the council, no action was taken. Read more on this week’s cover story.

What happened: Councilors heard a development presentation for the proposed Evergreen mixed-use project.

What it means: Evergreen is a proposed mixed-use project from Boomerang Development on approximately 269 acres along the north side of Ind. 32/38, east of Presley Drive.

In August, the council approved the project’s development agreement. The project is set to create an industrial business park, commercial development, age-restricted multi-family housing, age-restricted duplex housing and single-family housing.

What happened: Councilors heard introductory information for a proposed residential development, Shafer Park.

What it means: At the southwest corner of 191st Street and Little Chicago Road, plans for the Shafer Park Development propose building 3100 new one- and 1 1/2-story homes, with the incorporation of two existing homes, for a new subdivision aimed at empty nesters.

Proposed amenities include a fire pit The Shafer Park development proposes 31 new homes area, fishing at the southwest corner of 191st Street and Little Chipier, multi-use cago Road. (Submitted photo) trail and a naturalized detention pond. Matt Skelton, an attorney representing landowner Philip Shafer and Shafer Park LLC, presented the information and said the Shafer family has not committed to a specific homebuilder.

All homes are proposed to be a minimum of 1,800 square feet and would range in price from $300,000 to $450,000. Skelton said homes would be built in one phase and be ready for residents in late 2020.

What happened: The council voted in favor of a resolution declaring an economic development plan for the Noblesville Redevelopment Commission, establishing the Finch Creek Fieldhouse economic development area.

What it means: Andrew Murray, assistant director of economic development, presented the resolution.

“This is one of multiple statutory steps to create a new (tax increment financing) district,” Murray said. “This new TIF district will encompass the new Finch Creek Fieldhouse development, which is located on Boden Road, just south of 166th Street. We need to create the district to capture the increment that the project will generate, and then we will have obligated that to make certain incentive payments back to the developer per the 2017 development agreement.”

Councilors approved the resolution, 7-1, with councilor Mark Boice voting against it.

BUILD WITH THE LEADING CUSTOM HOME BUILDER Conner Praire has unveiled twon new Halloween-themed, adults-only events . (File photo)

Conner Prairie ramps up adult programming

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie Director of Public Affairs Christine DeJoy said Conner Prairie is often perceived as a destination for elementaryschool field trips. But THINGS TO DO the interactive history museum is tweaking perceptions by offering new programming for adults.

“It was always for everyone in the family, and I think with just happening through old marketing procedures and things like that, there was a lot of emphasis on little kids, and (Conner Prairie) was always known as a place for fourth-grade field trips,” DeJoy said. “Like, you came in fourth grade but have no idea what else Conner Prairie is.”

For many years, Conner Prairie’s young professional group, the Horizon Council, has conducted beer-tasting event, History on Tap, for visitors 21 and older. There also is the annual Holiday Cheers winter program, but DeJoy said there are many other programs that adults may not be aware of.

“I think, No. 1, it’s so important to remember even if you have graduated from high school or college or grad school, you never stop learning,” Program Director Kim McCann said. “That’s so important as we move into adulthood for yourself to expand your horizons or be aware,” Program director Kim McCann said. “The past is not a thing that is set and done with. History informs the present and it informs the future, so the idea that you sat in a history class in high school and it bored the crap out of you because it was all dates and names and locations.

That’s not the kind of history we present here. All the history we present is to help people bridge those connections between the past and present.”

McCann has several new programs for Conner Prairie this year, including a Chautau-

qua speaker series, a ghost hunt and more.

“For the first time ever, on Halloween night, we are having a public ghost hunt, so one of the questions we always get asked is whether or not the building are haunted,” she said. “They are all historical buildings. Some employees have had experiences that led them to believe there might be something paranormal going on.

We will be taking a small, limited group – a max of 36 people – and bring them to Conner Prairie on Halloween night from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and give them the opportunity to spend some time and do ghost hunting in the reportedly most active (buildings) on the grounds – the Golden Eagle Inn, the Conner House, and then Judge Porter’s house out in the 1863 Civil War journey.”

The Chautauqua series is an interactive speaker experience with specific topics, part of the adult programming Conner Prairie is experimenting with this year.

“This is a new experience for us, creating adults-only programming, so this year we are dipping our toes into the pool and seeing how people react to things, see what they enjoy and what they gravitate toward, and that’s really going to inform what’s happening in 2020,” McCann said.

The Indiana Center for Prevention of Youth Abuse & Suicide FUNDRAISER will play host to the 19th annual Treasure Our Children Gala from 6 to 11 p.m. Sept. 28 at the 502 Event Center, 502 E. Carmel Dr. The theme is “Dancing the Night Away.”

The organization was founded in 2001 to prevent abuse and suicide among the youth of the community.

The gala helps fund programs for adults and children.

“We go into schools and teach body safety because there’s such a high correlation between children who have been abused or neglected and their rate of suicide,” said

Melissa Peregrin, ICPYAS executive director.

“We teach kids how to advocate for themselves to keep themselves safe. We also teach adults how to protect children.”

The evening includes dinner, cocktails, music, dancing and advocacy in addition to live and slient auctions.

“We have some big items like a weeklong stay in a condo in the Caribbean and tickets to Disney,” Peregrin said. “We have things like lunch and a tour of the Carmel Police Dept., tickets to a St. Louis Cardinals game, jewelry, tickets to Conner Prairie and ax throwing for 10 people.”

The band Toy Story will perform throughout the evening.

Tickets are $90 per person or $170 per couple. For more or to purchase tickets, visit indianaprevention.org/events.

Recycling world is changing In my roles with the City of Carmel and Hamilton County, I get asked all the time about recycling. PeoENVIRONMENT ple really care about the environment and want to do the right thing. Unfortunately, there is a lot of incorrect information floating around. I hear from people who move here from other parts of the nation, where the recycling processes are different, confused about what we do. I also know that the recycling industry itself has changed and what was once true is no longer.

China, for example, used to take a large percentage of our recycling. Large barges used to go west across the Pacific Ocean, filled with our recyclables, and then come back east with goods that Americans buy.

It was a system that worked for decades, but that changed recently. Not to get into the commerce and political details, but China has become extremely restrictive in accepting our recycling; frankly, they have enough of their own. We now have to look to American markets to process our recy-

clable waste.

Not to anyone’s surprise, American commodity processors have high standards for incoming material. They require low contamination rates for the commodities they accept. While China used to take our recyclables with virtually no standard, American commodity processors are different.

Regardless of what is going on in the recycling industry, the best practice is to try to reduce the amount of your personal waste. Going back to our great-grandparent’s era of reusing items and wasting as little as possible makes good financial sense. First, we should all “reduce” and “reuse.” Recycling is the last step.

Did you know plastic bags are a no-no?

They should never be placed in recycling bins. In a future column, I will explain more do’s and don’ts about proper recycling.

IT’S FALL. THAT MEANS IT’S TUNE UP TIME. LIC# CO51300008

PARKING OVERHAUL City looking to change rules for drivers in downtown district

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com For three decades, the City of Noblesville has followed the same parking rules. Now, significant changes COVER STORY are being proposed to the downtown district that could change metering, time limits and enforcement.

At its Sept. 10 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council heard a proposal from Noblesville Jowitt Police Chief Kevin Jowitt to amend the existing parking ordinance. He outlined a range of changes for a one-year pilot program that has the support of Mayor John Ditslear.

“The city will use 2020 as a one-year pilot to study the impact of these changes in order to set a permanent strategy after the Levinson parking garage opens,” Ditslear said.

Jowitt said the proposed changes will produce immediate benefits.

“We think we’re going to enhance the parking situation considerably,” Jowitt said.

“When the parking ordinance was originally enacted in 1989, you have to think about how different downtown Noblesville was.

The judicial center was not even there. Noblesville had about one-third of the people that it has now. The county had about onethird of the people it has now. There were about half the number of superior courts, and the nature and occupancy rate of the downtown businesses was considerably different than it is today.

“So, fast-forward to today. We’ve got a very different complexion of the users of downtown parking with really no additional spaces to speak of, so that caused us to review and have a great deal of discussion with business owners and other downtown parking users to try to craft a situation that was going to work for the largest number of people.”

TWO-HOUR AND STREET PARKING

Perhaps the most notable proposed change involves areas where two-hour

parking is enforced.

Approximately 19 blocks of what is now two-hour street parking would be changed to free, unrestricted parking. Two-hour parking areas would only be in place in a “hashtag” or “tic-tac-toe” area of the downtown square and one block beyond.

Enforcement hours would be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

“This will allow for a great deal of more parking for employees of downtown businesses that are away from the square,” Jowitt said. “Other users who are going to tend to stay a little bit longer than two hours are still going to have readily available parking that’s still close, just not on the square proper or radials from the square.”

The rule for two-hour parking downtown – which limits drivers to park in the zones

for only two hours each day, even if they move spots or leave downtown and return – has not and will not change. But in recent months, the city has begun using a vehicle with license plate-reading technology to monitor cars and issue tickets. Prior to that, the practice of chalking tires was used for years.

“Chalking tires was ruled as an impermissible search by a federal district court of appeals just east of us,” Jowitt said. “Although this didn’t directly apply to Indiana, that’s probably the way things are going to go, so we had to change from chalk to LPR technology.”

Jowitt said the amendment, if approved, also would allow the city to establish shortduration parking spaces.

“What we’re proposing is five spaces with 20 minutes duration each,” he said. “The

purpose of these spaces is for someone who wants to run in somewhere and grab a cup of coffee or into the hardware store to buy a bolt. (These spaces) will not fall under the two-hour time restriction window. They are their own zones.”

PARKING LOTS

Nine variations make up the surface lot parking in the downtown district.

Three free lots are located at Federal Hill Commons and just south of Forest park east of White River.

“Then we’ve got the paid parking lots, which (on the map) are the red lots, orange lot and the City Hall east lot (dark gray),” Jowitt said. “The red lot being the lot right Continued on Page 19

Continued from Page 18 next to Courtney’s Kitchen (and) the City Hall lot is just on the east side of the building. The orange lot is the small lot a half block north of Alexander’s.”

The lots are open to the public at all times and are metered between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends and on weeknights between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m., parking is free.

Permit-only lots, which are purple, light gray and beige on the new parking map, include the existing Hamilton County parking lots and the city employees parking lot to the south of City Hall. The lots are open to the public between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. on weeknights and on weekends.

ENFORCEMENT

Jowitt said although the two-hour parking rule has been in place for awhile, the LPR technology is new and that the police department plans to work with drivers in the area to help them understand the parking laws.

“For a first-time offender, which the LPR technology will recognize, instead of getting a ticket, they’re going to get a flier on their windshield that says they’re in violation,” Jowitt said.

Jowitt presented a draft to the council at the Sept. 10 meeting.

“It basically points out to the individual that they’re not parked correctly, here’s the game plan, here are the rules, here’s an

explanation of kiosks and (lets them know) where they can park, and then on the back there’s a parking map,” Jowitt said. “So, rather than dealing with a ticket, they’ll just be confronted with information telling them what they can do next time to be in compliance with the parking ordinance.

“Noblesville has never made money from its parking and fine system. It’s generated enough to pay for the enforcement effort.

It’s not a revenue-producer.”

City officials will conduct a public meeting Oct. 1 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St., to discuss the proposed changes and answer questions. The Noblesville Common Council is set to vote on the amendment at its Oct .15 meeting. If approved, changes will go into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

BUSINESS RESPONSE During the Sept. 10 council meeting, Bob DuBois, president and CEO of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the proposed changes to the city’s parking ordinance. DuBois has served on the city’s parking task force for several years, representing local businesses.

“This isn’t a government solution here,” DuBois said. “This really is a solution that was generated from all of that, listening to the public for the past several years, surveying the public and the things they told us, concerns about the two-hour limit, challenges for employee parking, technology that matched the decade we are in, short-term parking spaces, clarity on where parking exists, ticketing DuBois that comes with education. So, sometimes some of the best solutions come a little organically, a little messy, but today’s pilot plan does all of that.”

DuBois said he looks forward to the data that will come from the changes and what it will mean for future planning.

“We’re going to get a lot more data from the new technology from both the kiosk meters and the license plate reader (so) that we can make really smart decisions going forward,” DuBois said. “A lot of it (so far) has been counting cars, hiring a walker to do some on-the-street studies that were week-specific. We’re now going to have a year of data to be able to look at. Our commercial mix may change three years from now, and we’ll have to re-evaluate it, but we’re also going to have a whole bunch of new parking coming online (in The Levinson).

“For folks that want free parking less than 500 feet from every downtown business, there’s free parking (proposed in this ordinance). That’s not so bad.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Ultimatum warriors

Protect our Second Amendment

Commentary by Terry Anker The world is filled with experts.

Many have trained for years, studied a craft and experienced much through trial and error. We look to them for insight. And then, there are the other authorities. They opine endlessly about all manner and topic. Their wisdom, it seems, is boundless. Alas, the root of this tremendous insight springs from some genetic font. They aren’t trained, or especially experienced, but they are all too willing to claim to be.

It is said that the most dangerous among us are not those who know nothing or have never read a book. Neither are those who know much and have read extensively.

The greatest risk comes from those who know something, have read one thing and have extrapolated this piece into believing they see the entire puzzle. “Name That Tune” pitted contestants on 1970s television to identify a song using as few notes as possible. Suffice it to say, a single note, other than the occasional wild guess, never could prevail – much like trying to guess the word intended here with simply the letter “t.”

Well, know-it-alls are not new to the world. But social media has fueled their intolerance. Expressing a point of view about complex global or interpersonal issues, extolling 25 or 30 words to round-out their epistle, they, like some ultimatum warrior, then lay down the gauntlet. If any reader doesn’t understand and agree summarily, then they are no longer a friend. Really? Lifelong supporters, colleagues and the folks who gave us life are dismissed in an instant. Doesn’t it all seem a little excessive (even needy)?

All hail the hero Commentary by Danielle Wilson What a week I had, friends! I was basically a hero on two separate occasions, thanks to my keen maternal and intuitive superpowers.

My first amazing feat was HUMOR consoling a student actively vomiting in my classroom trash can while simultaneously reviewing how the Declaration of Independence was nearly defeated. I know, right? I have gifts! Oscillating between “You’re OK, get it all up” and “Remember, the South wanted no mention of slavery,” I transfixed students with my dual message: “I care for you all like you were my own kids” and “Pay attention, this is important!” Of course, it might have been the barfing that was riveting their eyes to me, but still. I was a veritable Wonder Woman of the multitask.

My second foray into the world-saving business came a few days later. I stopped to offer help after watching a car drive straight into a metal railing. As I approached the

vehicle, I saw the driver banging his steering wheel, clearly frustrated but seemingly unhurt. Another bystander and I shouted at the same time, “Are you alright?” The driver emerged from the smoking wreck, responded, “Yeah, I’m fine,” and then walked off. Just walked away. Perplexed and trusting my gut that something was wrong, I called 911 to relay the details (I make a terrible witness, BTW. The only thing I was positive about was that the car was red. Or maybe orange.

Light brown?). That afternoon, I learned the red/orange/brown automobile had been stolen! I’d sensed a crime in play and interrupted grand larceny! Ka-pow!

So sleep easy, citizens of Indy Suburbia.

You have a real hero on your side.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.”

— J.D. Salinger

Editor, Currently, our Second Amendment is under fire and being attacked. Our fore fathers had great foresee ability with what could happen in the future after fighting off the British rule. This amendment was so important that it came in second after the First Amendment.

The Second Amendment is a right not a privilege. The average American citizen has the right to protect himself from harm by being allowed to own firearms. So many countries where firearms were allowed previously forced its citizens to disarm and what happened next? There was bloodshed and many citizens died from a tyrannical government takeover.

Today, America is experiencing mass shootings across the country. I ask why is this happening now? Because there is an undercurrent, which is raising its ugly head and slowly trying to disarm the American citizenry, especially law-abiding gun owners who are not involved in any mass shootings. So, who is really behind all of these mass shootings? Someone who wants to disarm the American people, that’s who.

I say stand up and fight back against this faction that is trying to harm us as American citizens who love our country as it was intended in the first place.

Mari Briggs, Sheridan

How the sausage was made Editor, I am writing to inform the voters of Hamilton County “how the sausage was made” for the 2020 county budget of almost $100 million of taxpayer money.

After spending two full days in session planning, negotiating and adjusting our budget, the county council motioned and passed the suspension of its own rules to revisit the budget that was already completed and sent for public review. I’m not sure that’s even possible, but it happened.

Why go through the trouble of two days of intense budget meetings when you turn around shortly thereafter and change it at the public hearing? When you must circumvent your own rules to get something done, doesn’t that, by definition, give you pause for concern over what you are about to do?

If not, it should.

Second, singling out one county employee for their very own “special pay raise” is a big insult to all county employees who were turned down for raises and those who work just as hard but were denied the 14 percent bump that was passed by the council for the coroner. Certainly, some employees could consider the extreme steps taken to be discriminatory because they were not singled out or treated with the same vigor to get their very own special pay increase, too. As a business owner, I see the complete disregard for process and standard employee protocols as setting a risky precedent and creating liability for the county from those employees who feel slighted, as well as future employees who will undoubtedly cite “you did it before for that person, it’s my turn, I work just as hard as he did.”

Further, it’s an insult to the other elected officials who work hard and wanted their

compensation increased but were denied that increase during the actual budget process. Councilman Schwartz pontificated on and on about how he cares deeply for and values all county employees as they are the backbone of the county. Then, in a complete demonstration of hypocrisy, singles out one and makes the motion to give this one employee, his friend, special treatment. The county employees are smart and see his actions.

Third, councilman Schwartz must be held to account. This budget alone, he voted to increase his own pay. He voted for a pay increase for his son. He motioned, lobbied for, spearheaded and voted for a 14 percent pay increase for his friend the coroner (down from the 30 percent pay increase he first insisted on). He voted for the addition of three new, paid county employees at a cost of $200,000 to the taxpayers. In my opinion, Hamilton County District 3 was not represented. Mr. Schwartz, along with his family and friends, came out of the 2020 budget process feeling great with their wallets heavier. The taxpayers he represents in District 3 paid the freight.

If “we the people” don’t pause, pay attention and demand different execution from our elected officials, this gets progressively worse and we will end up with crushing debt. Hamilton County is a wonderful place to live. It took decades of hard work to get us where we are. It takes harder work (fiscal responsibility) to keep our piece of heaven wonderful. We the people must at least pay attention. The responsibility of overseeing 100 million taxpayer dollars comes with accountability.

Chick-fil-A requesting canopies for outdoor-working employees

ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT THE HUMANE SOCIETY FOR HAMILTON COUNTY

At its locations nationwide, Chick-fil-A has been working to protect employees from harsh BUILDING CHANGES weather when working outdoors in the fast-food restaurant’s drive-thru lanes with the installation of permanent canopies.

A proposal has come before Noblesville government to make the change at the restaurant at 14098 Bergen Blvd. in the Saxony Corporate Campus, near Exit 210.

Petitioner and owner PB&J Prop Exchange, LLC, is requesting the construction of two canopies and additional landscaping.

At the Sept. 10 Noblesville Common Council meeting, Noblesville Development Services Manager Joyceann Yelton presented the ordinance.

“Chick-fil-A has employees that take orders while standing out in the weather, and this is one of the ways they have provided protection to those individuals,” she said.

“One (canopy) would be along the drive-thru, along the south side of the building where employees stand outside and take orders.

The other canopy is along the pick-up side of the building. Underneath the canopies there are some recessed lights. There are also heaters and fans that would protrude.

However, those will be powder-coated or ordered in a color that matches the canopy, so you won’t have a silver fan underneath.

It will be dark bronze or black.”

The Noblesville Plan Commission, which discussed the request at its August meeting, passed the request on to the common council with a 9-1 favorable recommendation.

Common Councilor Darren Peterson, who serves as the council’s liaison to the plan commission, cast the lone vote against the request.

“This was designed to be a dine-in and

pick-up window restaurant, and it’s now turned in to an outdoor sales car-hop situation. I think there are some safety concerns of putting employees out in the parking lot,” Peterson said. “The cars are in drive, it’s at the busiest time of the day, and I think we’re setting a precedent for other quickserve restaurants to bring the same visual clutter and safety concerns.”

Steve Hartman, owner-operator of the restaurant, said he hopes the council will approve the addition of the canopies primarily for safety of his employees. He said that having them work inside significantly slows service times.

“I certainly understand concerns about safety. It’s one of the reasons we’re hoping to be able to add the canopy,” Hartman said.

“The recessed lighting will help dramatically around dusk and (the fans will help) with temperature and heat. When we’re not able to have our folks outside, the degree to which lines are slowed is dramatic, 40 to 45 percent in a single hour. We’re hopeful to be able to continue to provide great service to the people of Noblesville and Hamilton County, in general, by adding these canopies.”

Because the ordinance was only introduction to the council, no action was taken. A final vote will be taken at a future meeting.

DISPATCH Stock up on TV stocks — The most likely winner of the 2020 presidential election? The stocks of local TV broadcasters. Their revenues should benefit from a record $3.3 billion in spending on political ads that will be broadcast in 2019 and 2020, nearly double the $1.7 billion spent in 2016, according to Advertising Analytics. That’s thanks in part to a crowded Democratic presidential field and to President Donald Trump, who is ­expected to attract more donations as an incumbent and spend much more on his re-election campaign than he did on the first campaign. And 2022 will see TV-ad spending for 36 governor races, up from 11 in 2020.

DISPATCHES New lung cancer therapy — Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer in the country, but a new treatment, called immunotherapy, is giving hope to lung cancer patients because of its recent success. Lung cancer is poorly recognized by the immune system, which delays diagnosis until patients are at stage 3 or 4, when it’s too late. Immunotherapy activates the immune system to help the body recognize the cancer earlier. For more information, visit lung.org.

Source: American Lung Association New blood cancer treatment — A type of blood-cancer treatment that has shown remarkable success in clinical trials is beginning to receive FDA approvals. In CAR T-cell therapy, blood is drawn from a patient to isolate T-cells, the powerhouses of the body’s immune system. The T-cells are reprogrammed to kill tumor cells and then infused back into the patient. This appears to be most effective with certain types of blood cancers.

Christian musician Duncan to perform at First Presbyterian Church

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Bryan Duncan’s first instrument was an accordion.

“My mom gave me lessons. Thank God that didn’t stick,” said DunCONCERT can, the son of a pastor.

“My mom played the piano, too, and my dad played guitar. He taught me bass parts for church songs. That’s what I grew up in, church music mostly.

I’ve got to admit, I used to listen to James Brown late at night. As a kid I had a lot of different instruments around the church.

I had an empty church stage that I could use during the week and pretend I had an audience.

“The best thing I found from singing and writing my own songs was a therapy I found in singing through my troubles and finding ways to make sense of my purpose for being here.”

The contemporary Christian musician will perform at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at First Presbyterian Church, 1207 Conner St., Noblesville.

“You can expect an easy affability from me,” Duncan said. “I don’t take myself too seriously. I usually interject humor throughout the set. I also oftentimes speak of my faith from a personal level.

As far as songs go, I try to pepper it with songs you would know from my olden days as well as songs that haven’t been recorded. I also try to cover songs you might not expect from me, doing a cover of a song my folks used to do when they were doing duets.

“For the most part, I’ll be doing songs from the new project called ‘Shine.’ One of my favorite new songs is ‘I Will Shine Through Every Shadow.’”

“Shine” was released in 2019. Duncan said he has two other songs he wants audiences to hear.

“I’ve been doing them almost every concert,” he said. “One of them is called ‘I Will Shine,’ and the other is called, ‘Remember My Mother.’ Both of them will likely have a significant impact on you.’”

The 66-year-old Riverside, Calif. resident has been in the business for more than 40 years, releasing his first album in 1977 as the lead singer of the Sweet Comfort Band. He released his first solo project, “Have Yourself Committed,” in 1985. Overall, he has released 27 records and sold more than 1 million albums. His industry awards include a Grammy and four Dove Awards, which are presented for Christian and gospel music.

“Well, I’ve recorded a lot of songs over my career,” he said. “There are favorites everyone wants to hear, songs like ‘I Love You With My Life’ and ‘Blessed Are The Tears,’ (and) sometimes ‘A Heart Like Mine.’

I’ll even take a request once in a while at concerts just to make sure we are touching base with people’s favorite songs. The ballads are pretty popular. I also like to do some favorite, uptempo things because that is the mood I’m normally in. ‘Blue Skies’ and ‘Love Takes Time,’ I play that

quite a bit.”

As a recovering addict, Duncan creates podcasts for those struggling with addiction at radiorehab.com. He said they are encouragement for people in recovery.

“It’s mostly music. I don’t do too many sermons,” he said.

Duncan has no plans to retire.

“I imagine I will continue to write and sing in the future as long as I breathe. At least, that’s my goal,” he said. “I hope my music will be a soundtrack for people like me to continue in farther, regardless of circumstances or mistakes and celebrating the best moments and joyful experiences along the way.”

Tickets may be purchased for $20 online at eventbrite.com/e/bryan-duncan-live-inconcert-tickets-68661168403 or by calling First Presbyterian Church at 317-773-2383 from 9 a.m. to noon weekdays. For more, visit bryanduncan.com/.

Youth to appear in ‘Ragtime’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Annabelle Pfeiffer, there are a few challenges to her role in “Ragtime The Musical.”

MUSICAL “Sometimes I have to sing some really high notes, and she is a Latvian immigrant,” Pfeiffer said.

The Westfield Intermediate School fifthgrader portrays Little Girl in “Ragtime,” which runs Sept. 27 to Oct 13 at Footlite Musicals, 1847 N. Alabama St, Indianapolis.

The musical is based on the novel about three families in pursuit of the American dream in the early 20th century.

Pfeiffer, who turns 11 the day before the show begins, said she likes that her character “is constantly moving and dancing.”

Dancing is what she said she looks forward to most about the production.

Indianapolis resident Lincoln Everitt, 11, plays Little Boy. “I wanted to play this role because I’ve already played the same role at Carmel Community Players,” the St. Richard’s Episcopal fifth-grader said. “I know Paula (Phelan) the director, and she directed another show I

Westfield Playhouse takes aim at ‘Liberty Valance’

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Veronique Duprey has directed several productions at Westfield Playhouse. But her latest project, “The Man Who THEATER Shot Liberty Valance,” is notable, if not exceptional, for several reasons.

For example, the play is adapted from Dorothy M. Johnson’s original 1953 short story, not the 1962 John Ford movie starring John Wayne and James Stewart. And, it’s Duprey’s first time directing adult actors.

And, the show is making its Indiana premiere.

“It’s a story of hope and love and how people react to change, all the universal themes,” said Duprey, a Fishers resident who has directed several children’s productions at Westfield Playhouse. “I am excited to bring it to the area.”

A Main Street Productions presentation, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” begins an eight-show run Sept. 27 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. St. Rd. 32, Westfield. The final show is Oct. 13.

Set in a small Western town in 1890, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” is a classic tale of good versus evil, with themes of love, hope and revenge. The story centers on Ransome Foster, a young scholar from New York City who refuses to back down from outlaw Liberty Valance, setting the stage for a deadly showdown with the notorious gunman who terrorizes the town.

“It is a Western, which I like, but since it cannot rely on horses and landscapes, it relies on its thoughtful dialogue to convey all its drama,” Duprey said. “The script offers fantastic opportunities for actors to really show off their skills.”

Lawrence resident Sabrina Duprey, an award-winning actor who has performed in more than 35 productions across Indiana, plays Hallie Jackson, the young proprietor of the town’s Prairie Belle saloon, the center of activity and much of the ensuing friction.

Sabrina Duprey enjoys the challenges of playing the complex character.

“Throughout the play, you see Hallie become softer and more ladylike,” said Sabrina Duprey, the director’s daughter. “Portraying those changes in a realistic way has been a challenging balance, but it’s very rewarding to see where she started and where she ends up.”

Sabrina Duprey also is a fan of the story.

“Westerns are not genre that is done often, so it was really fun being able to go to that time period,” she said. “But unlike some of the old Western films, this show isn’t cliche or cheesy. It’s extremely well-written and is definitely an ‘actor’s show.’

“The dialogue is exquisite. and the characters and their feelings are very realistic.”

Joining Sabrina Duprey in the eightperson main cast are Matt Hartzburg (Indianapolis) as Ransome Foster; R.C. Thorne (Fishers) as Bert Barricune; Xavier Jones (Indianapolis) as Jim “The Reverend” Mosten; Adam Davis (Elwood) as Liberty Valance; Kevin Shadle (Fishers) as Marshal Johnson; Cody Holloway (Noblesville) as Jake Dowitt/ Deputy; and narrator Tom Smith (Westfield).

The play, written by Jethro Compton based on Johnson’s short story, contains loud gunshots and strong language.

“My first goal is for the audience to enjoy the play,” Veronique Duprey said. “But I also hope they can find in this piece important messages about acceptance and the honor that lies in self-sacrifice.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville mid-century basement Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. Gorgeous teal blue cabinetry provides storage at the entertainment center and bar.

2. The throwback color is accentuated by a complimentary retro-red paint above the bar. The stairs (not shown) are carpeted in red.

3. A custom, bar-height table separates the seating area from the pool table and bar.

4. The wood-panelled ceiling above the pool table wraps around the window to provide warmth and style.

5. Vintage lighting above the pool table makes a perfect period statement.

6. Luxury vinyl flooring offers the look of wood with the benefit of being waterand scratch-resistant.

To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: Water damage from flooding prompted the remodeling of this Zionsville basement, built in 1988 in Coventry Ridge subdivision.

THE INSPIRATION The design was inspired by the homeowner’s treasured family photos, which showed grandparents and extended family members enjoying parties in their 1950s basement.

Who are you calling an idiom?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Obliterated image of Hatshepsut at Karnak Temple. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Destroying Hatshepsut’s soul Commentary by Don Knebel Hatshepsut was a female ruler of Egypt.

Her successors set out to destroy not only memories of her but her very existence.

Hatshepsut was born in 1508 TRAVEL B.C., the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I. Upon the death of Thutmose I, his son, Thutmose II, became pharaoh. When Thutmose II died in 1479 B.C., his 2-year-old son, Thutmose III, became pharaoh, with his aunt Hatshepsut as his regent. After a few years, Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh, dressing as a man, wearing a false beard strapped around her head and engaging in a massive building program unmatched for centuries.

Hatshepsut erected four huge obelisks at Karnak, the enormous temple complex near modern Luxor, two of which were 97 feet tall, each carved from a single block of granite. She built the Red Chapel of red quartzite to hold the barque (boat) priests used to transport the statue of the god Amun around the complex. She built the Palace of Ma’at, the Egyptian goddess of truth, justice and order, one wall of which included an image of Hatshepsut being anointed pharaoh

by the gods.

When Hatshepsut died in about 1458 B.C., Thutmose III again became pharaoh.

He destroyed the Red Chapel, replacing it with one honoring him. Believing that Hatshepsut’s soul, or ka, could survive in the afterlife in her images, Thurmose III (or perhaps his successors) destroyed or obliterated images and statues of Hatshepsut, including her image in the Palace of Ma’at.

Successors removed Hatshepsut’s name from lists of pharaohs. As a result, Hatshepsut’s extraordinary reign was unknown until the 20th century, when archaeologists reconstructed it from images overlooked for destruction. The Red Chapel at Karnak has been reconstructed from its original materials. The obliterated image in Karnak’s Palace of Ma’at provides evidence of the still unknown motives of her successors to destroy her afterlife existence.

Some people take things literally. Kleptomaniacs take things, literally.

Literalists aren’t GRAMMAR GUY fans of idioms.

Idioms are phrases with figurative meanings; they aren’t intended to be taken literally. Believe it or not, my friend, Byron, tends to take things literally; so, when I suggest we “paint the town red” on Friday night, he goes to his garage to get his paint rollers.

Idioms are designed to express a sentiment, feeling or an idea. If I said, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” I’m not claiming to be a chicken or egg farmer; instead, I’m suggesting that you shouldn’t count on something before it has come into reality. In the same way, when I say, “Curiosity killed the cat,” I’m certainly not suggesting that NASA’s Mars rover murdered a cat; I’m suggesting that it’s dangerous to be too curious.

An idiom is a type of figurative language. The point of figurative language is to make your speech or writing more impactful or effective. Other types of figurative language include euphemisms, meta-

phors, similes, hyperbole, personification and my favorite puns. In fact, idioms exist in most languages. This isn’t just another tricky English construction that makes our language hard to learn.

One of my favorite idioms is, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” While I don’t agree literally with this statement, its figurative truth holds up to scrutiny. We shouldn’t judge people at face value; instead, we should look “under the hood,” so to speak, and get to know them better before we draw any conclusions.

The only literal thing that costs an arm and a leg is going swimming with hungry sharks. As an idiom, however, something that costs “an arm and a leg” is merely incredibly expensive. The same idea goes for “robbing the cradle.” You’re not stealing a baby, but instead, when someone says this she means that you are marrying someone significantly younger than you.
