To our valued readers: 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.

As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue to 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.

disproportionately accounts for most of the state’s COVID-19 deaths.

As of press time, residents 60 and older account for 92.2 percent of Indiana’s COVID-19 deaths, according to the state’s online coronavirus dashboard, coronavirus.in.gov. Box said nearly 56 percent of COVID-19 deaths have been traced to longterm care facilities.

On Oct. 21, state officials announced that the Indiana National Guard will be trained and sent to all long-term care facilities by the middle of this month to assist with surges. State officials also said clinical staff from the health care reserve workforce will be hired to supplement long-term care resources. Two million N95 masks and other pieces of personal protective equipment were scheduled to be shipped to the facilities.

In September, Indiana began awarding more than $30 million to local health departments to open and operate their own testing sites for two years. To date, the departments have opened 69 testing sites and conducted more than 59,000 tests.

“As we have seen more cases across the state, we are also seeing more testing,” Box said. “In the early days of the pandemic, our capacity for testing was measured in the hundreds each day, not in the tens of thousands we are seeing regularly today.

“Our testing capacity is the highest that it has ever been.”

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

Beaver Materials proposes extraction site

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Beaver Materials has proposed a gravel and sand extraction site on 50 acres northwest of 191st Street DEVELOPMENT and Allisonville Road.

The proposal has raised public concern because it is adjacent to Potter’s Bridge Park. Beaver Materials has a purchase agreement with the property owner contingent on the proposal’s approval. As part of the proposal, Beaver Materials would immediately donate 10 acres of the property to the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept.

The remaining acreage would be used to extract sand and gravel with a digging technique using an excavator and crane. The extraction process would be for 10 years.

Gravel and sand would be transported to the Beaver Material property on River Road for processing.

Beaver Materials owner Chris Beaver said he wanted to donate part of the land after he recognized how overcrowded the park was during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The park was over-crowded and not big

enough for all the demand during COVID, so I decided to see if I can get the purchase to turn it into a beautiful park,” he said.

Beaver said the 10 acres donated immediately could be used to expand the trail system at Potter’s Bridge Park. He also plans to turn some of the farm land at the purchase site into prairie grass help the ecosystem.

Some of the property is woodland, and Beaver said the company wouldn’t remove any trees.

When the extraction is complete, Beaver said 100 percent of the property will be donated to Hamilton County Parks and Receration.

“My dream is that this will be the best park in Hamilton County,” he said.

If the proposal is approved, Beaver Materials must keep the property secured.

Generally, berms are used, but since the property is in the floodway of the White River, Beaver Materials is proposing a type of fencing that would collapse if the river floods so it is not an obstruction to floodwaters. Parts of the property also will include traditional berms.

Noblesville Dept. of Planning and Development senior planner Denise Aschleman said the Noblesville Dept. of Planning and Development has received more than 80 complaints from the public regarding the property. Residents protested the proposal in downtown Noblesville Oct. 19.

Originally, the Noblesville Plan Commission was supposed to hear the proposal during its Oct. 19 meeting, but the proposal was pushed to Nov. 16. After the plan commission provides a positive or negative recommendation for the project, the Noblesville City Council will vote on it.

Versiti Blood Center issues emergency appeal for blood donations Versiti Blood Center of Indiana, a nonprofit organization that relies on Hoosier blood donations, recently issued an emergency appeal for blood donations. Versiti strives for a three-day supply of blood available to its partner hospitals. Schools and businesses are typically Versiti’s largest source of blood donations this time of year. Because of remote work and virtual schooling, many of those drives have been canceled. Compared to an average year, Versiti is down more than 50 percent in donations, or nearly 20,000 units of blood.

O-negative and O-positive blood donors are most needed. Versiti Blood Center of Indiana has donor centers in Indianapolis,

Fishers, Carmel, Greenwood, Terre Haute and Lafayette.

A novel approach

Gal’s Guide to the Galaxy supports writers throughout November

Gal’s Guide to the Galaxy will conduct several group writing sessions during NaNoWriMo. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, is a time when people across the nation are encouraged to write 50,000 words during the month of November. Gal’s Guide to the Galaxy, a mini library on the second level of the Nickel Plate Arts’ Stephenson House, plans to provide writers a place to work during the month, whether in person or virtually.

Executive Director Leah Leach has participated in NaNoWriMo for several years and plans to write.

“I wanted to do write-ins (in-person writing sessions) even with COVID because the space is so welcoming, and if you get stuck, just look around the room. These women will inspire you,” Leach said.

The library only offers books by or about women, but the sessions are open to everyone.

In-person write-ins are scheduled for 7 p.m.

Wednesdays and Fridays at the library and are limited to five people. Zoom write-ins will be

held at 7 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays.

“We have a sign-up sheet, so how that works is, if we get more than five people signed up for a particular day, we are going to pick the five randomly,” Leach said. “We want to be very fair, so if somebody doesn’t make it to the room, their next date choice they get in.”

Leach previously led a writing group and always wanted to host one during NaNoWriMo. “I’m familiar with running a writer’s group, giving critiques and helping writers through writer’s block, that sort of thing,” she said.

However, November is a tricky month for Leach because the Uhura Training Academy at Starbase Indy, a STEM-based education program at a Star Trek convention, also takes place each November and Leach participates in that. The event was canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We take Star Trek fun and focus on women in STEM and do programming for that,” she said. “We have done that three years in a row, and it’s always been tricky, can we do both? But this year we didn’t

have to choose.”

Leach said her objective isn’t to push writers to reach the 50,000-word mark.

“Our goal is to encourage people to write, so if that’s only a couple thousand words, that’s thousands more words than they had last month,” Leach said. “Sometimes, it’s as easy as getting people started. The thing I love about NaNo is, it gets you into a habit of writing, either a lot of writing at once or a little each day. It forms a writing habit, so if it’s not this material and you hate it at the end of it, you’re in a habit.”

Leach also appreciates how NaNoWriMo joins writers in an environment of comradery.

“I’m all about just supporting each other,” she said. “I think writing is hard. It’s a lot of self-doubt, so if you have a good support system, you’re going to feed off of that.”

Leach said the COVID-19 lockdowns possibly gave aspiring writers a time to rekindle their ambitions.

“So, this is a great opportunity to actually do that writing you were almost thinking of doing back then,” she said. “It is really therapeutic. If you write for yourself, if you

A SPECIAL DEDICATION Gal’s Guide to the Galaxy Executive Director Leah Leach said the library’s first NaNoWriMo program will be dedicated to Debra Kemp.

“She has done NaNo since it started,” Leach said. “She passed away before we got this library open, but if Debs was here, she would be running this for the first time, so it’s in her honor.”

Kemp was a Noblesville resident who had written two books about King Arthur’s daughter.

“She would have loved this,” Leach said. “She and I sat in many Barnes & Noble cafes and Starbucks cafes. She was my writing buddy. She was majorly into NaNo, so we are evoking her spirit. She’s a great cheerleader of writers.” write for an escape, if you write to help other people, there’s many different reasons to write, and all of them are completely valid.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Final tally

Climate cycles not caused by CO2

Commentary by Terry Anker Watching the Hoosiers of Indiana University claim an overtime football victory against the Nittany Lions of Penn State not only provided much-needed fun in a world still reeling from lockdowns and countless existential crises, it also provided excitement safely bound by familiar rules and long-standing good sportsmanship. Fans waited for nearly a year to see their favorite teams take the gridiron and were not disappointed.

Athletes gave it their all. Coaches ran the sidelines and hoped the hours of preparation and planning would lead to the desired outcome. Both sides were ready. Still, only one team would walk away as winner. There are no participation trophies in this game.

Naturally, this writer, like the vast majority of this paper’s readers readers, rooted for the home team. Sure, some of us are alumni, but most followed our natural proclivity to back those closest by geography. One can assume that the people of Philadelphia might be more inclined to hope for a Penn State dominion. This game was played in Bloomington. IU had the home field advantage.

Doubtless, fans who’d made the trip to watch and support the opposition would have been heckled some by the locals. It is all in good fun, right?

But for this event, followers were barred. Folks could only chant their well wishes or express their frustrations in front of their living room televisions.

No one could hear the names called to the referees or the jeering of the other team’s star player. Maybe that’s better, and maybe it is not.

Today is another big game day. The elections will end, and someone will win. There is no participation trophy.

Coaches and candidates gave it their all.

Will the fans feel like it was a fair fight?

Will the right team dominate? Will we go into overtime?

Tears for (pranking) fears Commentary by Danielle Wilson Doo and I love a laugh at the expense of our four kids. We like to mess with them with statements like, “We don’t HUMOR do favorites, but you’re third.”

Recently, my youngest sister played a doozy of a parenting prank, outlined below in all its glory.

First, some context. Emily and her husband, Kyle, have two sons, ages 6 and 4. Our mother lives seven doors away, and their old live-in babysitter, Kelsey, lives about a mile away. The other night, they were getting ready for bed and could hear the boys goofing around in the bathroom as they brushed their teeth and donned pajamas.

After repeated warnings of “Hurry up!” from Kyle, the older one yelled, “Go away! We don’t need you!”

Naturally, Kyle and Emily turned off the lights and hid in the guest bedroom. A few minutes later, the boys emerged, silent at first, then with increasingly alarmed cries of “Mom? Dad? Where are you? This isn’t funny!” Yes, it is! Emily was stifling her giggles to the point of tears.

As fears of abandonment escalated, a plan emerged.

Four-year-old: “Let’s go to Kelsey’s.”

Six-year-old: “Yeah, good idea.”

Four-year-old, now crying: “But we (sniffle) don’t know how (gulp) to get there!”

Preschool hysteria ensued, but eventually they checked the last door and unearthed the conspirators.

Upon hearing the story, we first congratulated Emily and Kyle. Well played! Then we recognized the cool-under-fire, problem-solving skills of our nephews, though we wondered why they’d failed to consider their much-closer Mamaw, who’s literally around the corner.

Questionable spatial awareness aside, though, there’s little better than laughter at a child’s expense.

Peace out.

Questionable spatial awareness aside, though, there’s little better than laughter at a child’s expense.

Editor, I am understanding of Mr. Wade’s letter, published July 23. He seems to have learned what he thinks he knows from left wing, one-world globalists. A lot of folks have been fooled by Al Gore’s fraud that made his millions.

I have enjoyed being an environmentalist since working on my science degree in forestry at Purdue 63 years ago. The sources of my statements on climate are from years of peer-reviewed research that is reported to me regularly. Climate cycles are real, but none have been demonstrated to be caused

by CO2. Many times in the past, the earth has been through warming and cooling cycles.

Wade implied that I am not qualified because I “only owned a sporting goods store.” Yes, I owned and built a very successful chain of backpacking/ mountaineering stores.

I want his misinformed type to stop depressing people — especially children whose suicide rate has doubled with the fictitious predictions of 10 years of life remaining.

I feel Mr. Wade should stop telling Current what to publish. Current offers free speech and has been of great service to Hamilton County.

Mic Mead, Westfield

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

An explosion of truth bombs Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Paul Dickson has written 65 books and I’ve read most of them. During his long career, he collected thousands of HUMOR observations — tiny nuggets of truth — that we can all relate to, and all in a book called, “The Official Rules: 5,427 Laws, Principles, and Axioms to Help You Cope with Crises, Deadlines, Bad Luck, Rude Behavior, Red Tape and Attacks

by Inanimate Objects.” Whew! That’s just the title.

I contacted Mr. Dickson last week and asked if I could select a few of my favorite entries to share with my readers. He graciously said, “Be my guest,” so here they are. Enjoy!

Wife winners When a man says a game is silly and childish, it’s probably something his wife beat him at.

More likely to lose The person with the most raffle tickets has the least chance of winning.

Always wrong There is no virtue in being consistent, if you are consistently wrong.

Heart issues Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.

Slow thinker He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

Remain silent If you don’t say anything, you won’t be

called on to repeat it.

Choose left Two wrongs don’t make a right, but three lefts do.

Parking lottery If you get a great parking spot, you’ve shown up on the wrong day.

Cats and dogs If you see a cat and a dog eating out of the same bowl, it was the cat’s food.

Speaking disengagement Once you finally overcome your fear of public speaking, you will never be asked to speak again.

Three options When asking directions, the first three people will either: 1: Not speak English, 2: Be stupid, or 3: Be dead wrong.

Nap first Have a lot to get done? Take your nap first.

Funeral attendance Regardless of how much you achieve in your life, the size of your funeral will depend on the weather.

Boredom If you knew what you were doing, you’d be bored.

DISPATCHES Moving for better health — Sitting for most of the day is terrible for your health, raising your risk for diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. For better health, try to get up and do some light activity several times a day, even if you have a sedentary job. Moving around triggers blood flow, clears glucose from the blood and breaks down triglycerides.

Source: BottomLineHealth.com Prevent bruises — To prevent a bruise after an injury, try this. Wet your fingers and then dip them in sugar. Massage the injured area with your sugary fingers. The massage will promote blood circulation in the area to help prevent bruising.

Source: BottomLineHealth.com Banned artificial flavors you’re still consuming — The good news is, the FDA has banned six artificial flavors that have been linked to cancer. The bad news is, you’re still eating them, and you might be for a long time. As is common with such bans, food manufacturers have two years to remove the banned chemicals from their products. And because manufacturers are still permitted to label all chemicals used to simulate natural flavors as, generically, “artificial flavors,” there’s no way to know which products contain these particular offenders: benzophenone, ethyl acrylate, methyl eugenol, myrcene, pulegone and pyridine.

The ban came in response to a 2016 citizen petition from consumer and environmental groups, including the Center for Food Safety, the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Natural Resources Defense Council, after the six chemicals were linked to cancer in laboratory animals by the National Toxicology Program.

Source: BottomLineInc.com Plasma demand surges in Indiana hospitals — Hospital demand for convalescent plasma throughout Indiana is now far exceeding donations coming in. Demand is 50 percent in recent days compared to what it was just 30 days ago. Convalescent plasma is used by hospitals across Indiana to help treat a surging number of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is appealing to Hoosiers who have recovered from coronavirus to donate their antibody-rich plasma at any one of its donor centers throughout Indiana, in Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Greenwood, Lafayette and Terre Haute. Versiti collects then supplies convalescent plasma, blood and blood products to more than 80 hospitals.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury.

BACKGROUND: Elaina Ededuwa, a former multi-sport athlete at Hamilton Southeastern High School from 2012-2016 and women’s basketball player at Indiana Wesleyan University from 2016-2020, had some unfortunate breaks along the way. Methodist Sports Medicine was there to get her back in the game each time. The daughter of E and Linda Ededuwa of Fishers, Elaina Elaina Ededuwa, former was a volleyball, basketball, and track & field athlete at HSE. In January 2015, she suffered a basketball player at tear of her left anterior cruciate ligament while playing basketball and underwent surgery for an Indiana Wesleyan University.

ACL reconstruction by Dr. Peter Maiers. She worked diligently to rehab and returned to highlevel competition.

On Jul. 5, Elaina returned to the court to play in her first game since her injury in an AAU tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the second half, she went up for a rebound, and when she came down, she was hit in the knee, suffering a contact injury that re-tore her ACL. Elaina worked hard in rehab once again, fully recovered, and amazingly went on to play at the collegiate level with the Indiana Wesleyan University Women’s Basketball team. She was just about to complete a successful collegiate career when injury struck again.

During basketball practice on Dec. 13, Elaina set a screen, rolled to the basket, and took a hit to the side of her knee, bending it in the wrong direction. She immediately knew she tore her ACL; this time, it was her right knee. She visited with Dr. Maiers the next morning. The diagnosis: right ACL tear, partial MCL tear, sprain of the lateral collateral ligament, tear of the lateral meniscus, along with a left knee lateral meniscus tear. Although heartbroken, Elaina cheered her team on that night at IWU and then boarded a flight to Arizona to cheer her team on from the sideline at their holiday tournament. Dr. Maiers performed surgery on both knees on Dec. 27, and she again battled back to a complete recovery. Today, Elaina is an Indiana Wesleyan graduate with three degrees, lives in Florida, and has been offered an opportunity to continue her basketball career in Europe.

WHY MSM: “My family and I chose Methodist Sports Medicine after my first injury because we trusted the sports medicine team at Hamilton Southeastern, and MSM is where HSE sent me. After that, it wasn’t even a question for the second and third injuries to go back to MSM because they felt like family. I knew they cared about me, and I cared about them. We both had the same goal; getting me healthy in the best way possible. Honestly, if I ever need orthopedic care again, I would probably fly home from Florida and see Dr. Maiers and the MSM team because that’s how much I value and appreciate all of the care and treatment I have received.” - Elaina Ededuwa

THE JOURNEY: “We never had to push Elaina to work harder. She gave an all-out effort with each exercise, and rehab session. We had more concern with holding her back and not letting her do too much too soon. Melissa Schnepp PTA, ATC was crucial to her recovery during her first two surgeries. Working closely as a rehab team allows us to problem solve together and pick up on deficits that the other may not see. Being able to communicate efficiently with Dr. Maiers and his clinical staff allowed for proper progression of Elaina’s rehabilitation.”

- Nate Mejeur, PT, DPT - Methodist Sports Medicine

Dr. Peter Maiers

“My career has been far from perfect, but it’s allowed me to put myself in situations to grow both on and off the court, create friendships that will last my entire life, and push my mental and physical toughness to levels I would never have thought I could.”

- Elaina Ededuwa THE MSM TEAM: The MSM team included Dr. Peter Maiers, Sports Fellowship Trained with Hip and Knee Specialty, Nate Mejeur, Physical Therapist, and Melissa Schnepp, dual Certified as an Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapy Assistant.

Carmel resident’s passion for art led to novel on Pompeii priestess

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A nearly three-decade passion of Sandra C. Hurt’s was ignited by a women’s study group.

Hurt attended a lecture by a former AUTHOR Butler University instructor on the topic of women in art through the centuries.

“I was taken away by a fresco of a woman,” Hurt said of paintings displayed on the walls on plaster. “I’ve never been the same since. These frescoes really spoke to me. I had an interesting experience. Her face haunted me. I couldn’t get over it.”

Hurt began researching the history of Pompeii, an ancient city near Naples, Italy, through numerous books and eventually through visits.

Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79. The disaster killed an estimated 16,000 people.

The Carmel resident’s “Priestess of Pompeii, The Intimate Journey” is her first novel. Hurt finished the book in June. It was self-published in August. She is working on a second book in the series.

“She really expressed the attitudes of the women of the day,” Hurt said of the fresco. “They know only her name and they think she owned the villa. The frescoes represent a women’s ritual to the (greek god) Dionysus.”

A couple years after seeing the frescoes, she took an art history course at the Indianapolis Arts Center. The center organized a trip to Pompeii and the Villa of the Mysteries on the outskirts of Pompeii “I got to see the frescoes in person and was dumbstruck, too,” she said. “I had read a lot about it by the time we went but it was an inspiring experience.”

Hurt started the book on Jan. 1, 2000. She presents the priestess, Rufilla Istacidii, as a real person who was adopted by a wealthy family, so Hurt set the story in her historic time of the first century B.C. It was the era of Julius Caesar, who is included in the novel.

“But nothing else is known about her, so that’s perfect for a novel,” she said. “The story evolved, and I’ve been there several times and other places in Italy as well as Greece. In the book, she does a coming-of-age journey when she goes to Greece. The only information that I did find is she really was a priestess of Venus, who was the patron goddess of the City of Pompeii, and she was also a priestess of Dionysus. They think she was the one that conducted the initiation ritual.”

The priestess’ father was written as a military member and equestrian.

Weather shuts down ATI drive-in concert

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sandra C. Hurt pauses with a copy of her book, “Priestess of Pompeii, The Intimate Journey,” in her home library.

Hurt, who had been trained as a nurse, had not taken classes growing up about the classics, so she took courses at Indiana University in Bloomington and IUPUI. The classes also included creative writing.

Hurt had been writing short stories and poetry her entire life.

Hurt and her husband, Stan, who owned a distribution center for heating and air conditioning, which he sold, have lived in Carmel since 2008. Her husband went with her on the first visit to Pompeii, but she has since traveled there several other times with women’s groups and a friend.

“I took tours with travel companies who hired archeologists to guide and give lectures on the Roman and Greek ruins we visited,” she said. “Pompeii is an ancient city that is still revealing her fascinating history.”

For more, visit sandrahurtauthor.com.

Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Don Farrell loves Indiana, but not its unpredictable weather.

“The weather can change on a dime,” he said. “We were watching the weather minute by minute.”

Due to inclement weather on Oct. 23, Carmel-based ATI had to cancel its Drive-In Theatre concert of “Cole With a Side of Hoagy” at the Monon Shopping Center in Carmel.

ATI made a livestream production of the Oct. 29, show, which was a tribute to Indiana composers Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael.

Farrell said ATI officials kept monitoring the bad weather for rain and lightning and had to be careful because they were using rental equipment, including LED lights, and a metal stage.

“We set everything up, and then another system came in and we had to take it back down,” Farrell said. “As we were coming up on (show) time, it just wasn’t the safest thing to do. Normally, we would try to do it the next night, but we had scheduling conflicts with a lot of performers and designers.”

A third ATI Drive-In Concert is set for Nov. 27 at the Monon Shopping Center. The first one was held Sept. 18.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 339 S. Delaware St., Indianapolis What to get: Linguini Nero Price: $22 Anna’s take: Nesso Italian Kitchen recently reopened in downtown Indianapolis, and it’s definitely worth trying. Soft lighting and shadows set the mood for luxurious Italian dining. The food is top notch. I started with the burrata ($13), a mix of cherry tomatoes, candied onions, salsa verde and levain bread with a large ball of cheese in the middle. My main course was Linguini Nero, which is made with squid-ink pasta, which turns the noodles black. It tastes similar to regular pasta, but the color adds

Linguini Nero is made with squid-ink pasta, which is black. (Photo by Anna Skinner) a uniqueness to the dish, which also has shrimp, scallops, octopus, oil-cured tomato, garlic, pepper flakes and herbs. I finished the meal with a delectable budino ($10), which is similar to crème brulee. It has a caramelized brown sugar custard, pistachios and citrus notes. All the items paired amazingly with a dry red wine.

Geist man promotes Indy jazz

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Mark Sheldon has been photographing musicians for 40 years. In particular, the Geist resident is well known for MUSIC photographing jazz musicians.

“I don’t remember a time in my life when music wasn’t important,” Sheldon said. “Even as a little kid I was enthralled with music, period. I got my first camera when I was 18. I understood documenting events around your life, (and) in my case it happens to be music. I shoot for various jazz and blues magazines. In the past 20 years, it’s been primarily photographing jazz and blues.”

Sheldon has taken photos at the Indianapolis Jazz Festival for several years. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival will be virtual with “Celebrate Naptown,” a four-part online concert series beginning Nov. 13. The concerts will be released free with a fundraising goal of $25,000. Donations are requested.

The events are: “Celebrate Naptown All-Star Show,” 8 p.m.

Nov. 13, which was recorded at Garfield Park in September in Indianapolis. The all-star

NOVEMBER 6-14 “Gold Standard" is Nickel Plate Arts’ annual juried exhibition set in our Judge Stone House Gallery in downtown Noblesville. Artists are invited to submit the best of their best, their “gold standard” from their portfolio for review.

Mark Sheldon pauses with photos from the Indianapolis jazz scene. (Submitted photo)

Native Son, a hip-hop trio featuring Richard Floyd (drums) Brandon Meeks (bass) and Bobby Young (MC), will present a hip-hop/ jazz suite titled “Legalize Being Black” at 8 p.m. Nov. 14.

Charlie Ballantine will present his music from his album paying tribute to Indianapolis writer Kurt Vonnegut at 8 p.m. Nov. 20, Jared Thompson & Premium Blend will present a concert at 8 p.m. Nov. 21.

Blueprint for Improvement: Historic Indy fireplace wall Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. In the living room, the expansive stone wall surrounding the fireplace was missing a major focal point — a mantel. A custom, 16-foot poplar wood mantel was designed and installed to complete the room.

2. Avid art collectors, the homeowners wanted to create additional display space for their many treasures. Custom-built shelving in the breakfast nook creates the perfect backdrop.

THE CHALLENGE

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/ Remodeling; email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com.

Visit caseindy.com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.

This 1957 home is in Indianapolis’ historic Crow’s Nest neighborhood. The new owners wanted to modernize several of the rooms while honoring the mid-century style of the home’s interior. This is the final installment of a three-part series.
