Ascension St. Vincent has expanded its capability to treat burn victims and pediatric trauma patients.

GROWTH The flagship campus at 86th Street in Indianapolis opened a new Adult and Pediatric Burn Center Sept. 20. On the same day, Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent celebrated the opening of its Pediatric Trauma Center.

Dr. Jeffrey Gibbs and registered nurse Jeanie Leggett will lead the burn center.

Gibbs said the advantage of having a burn center at St. Vincent’s Hospital Gibbs is that the hospital also is an adult and pediatric trauma center.

“Therefore, the full spectrum of traumatic injuries can be cared for under one roof,” Gibbs said.

In addition, Gibbs said there is an eightbed ICU for burn patients. It will provide access to same-day care with a seven-room clinic that can accommodate various wound care procedures and dressing changes.

“We have two hydrotherapy rooms in the burn unit as well as a designated physical therapy room,” Gibbs said. “This allows the burn patient’s care to be centralized in one space rather than having to travel throughout the hospital. This way a dedicated team of clinicians, nurses and therapists come to them.”

Gibbs said prior to the opening of St. Vincent’s Burn Center, adult burn patients were sent to the Eskenazi Burn Center and pediatric patients were sent to the Riley Burn Center.

“In the unfortunate event that a family is involved in a house fire, the entire family can be treated together in the Ascension St. Vincent Burn Center,” Gibbs said. “Mom and dad can be placed next to their children in the burn unit. We believe this will allow families to heal quicker both physically and emotionally when their loved ones are close to them.”

The Pediatric Trauma Center is led by Dr. Brett Engbrecht, a pediatric surgeon who is serving as the medical director of the center, and registered nurse Abby Adkins, a program manager.

F.C. Tucker statistics — Noblesville’s residential real estate market was dynamic in October, with sale prices increasing and homes leaving the market quickly.

According to F.C. Tucker Company, the average sale price for a Noblesville home was $383,170, a 25.5 percent increase compared to October 2020. Compared to this time last year, Noblesville homes

sold 45.5 percent faster, leaving the market in just 12 days. The average price per square foot for a home in Noblesville also increased, up 20.1 percent to $167.39.

Host families needed — ASSE International Student Exchange Programs is looking for local families to host students age 15 to 18 for the next academic year.

“For over 10 years, St. Vincent has had an Adult Trauma Center,” Engbrecht said. “In the trauma world, adult is 15 years and older.

That would include any kind of injury, including Engbrecht the most serious injuries.

Now, the Pediatric Trauma Center will take care of anyone 14 years and younger. We did get minor trauma before like broken bones and injuries for pediatric patients, but what this does is open us up to receive patients in car accidents with severe, life-threatening injuries. The advantage if you have a car accident with parents and children injured (is), all the family can come to one hospital system. They don’t have to be spread to different buildings and different campuses. If a family comes to visit, they can visit everybody under one roof.”

There are two resuscitation bays to take care of trauma patients. There are 17 rooms in the emergency department.

In the past, Engbrecht said patients under 14 with serious injuries would have to be transferred to another hospital with a pediatric trauma center.

Engbrecht said the most common pediatric trauma is caused by falling.

“Whether that’s little kids falling down stairs or falling out of windows or shopping carts,” Engbrecht said. “Car accidents are also quite frequent. It would also include assaults, gunshot wounds, sports injuries.

There are things like dog bites. It’s pretty much any trauma mechanism.”

Hamilton County career center receives $20,000 grant

By Chris Bavender news@currentnoblesville.com The Duke Energy Foundation recently awarded the Hamilton County Center for Career DONATION Achievement a $20,000 grant. The money will be used to support the development and expansion of educational programming for students in Labarr the Hamilton County public school systems.

The HCCCA was established in June to coordinate and expand course offerings for students in all six public school systems in Hamilton County. Its mission is to provide students an understanding of high-wage, high-demand jobs available in their communities while giving them the education, credentials and college credits to pursue those occupations after leaving high school.

“The idea is to expand career and tech offerings. When you think of careers and tech, there is a stigma that it is only things such as construction and cosmetology. But the goal of every high school student is to have a career at some point,” said Carrie Lively, the career center’s executive director. “The funding is helping identify curriculum that needs to be adjusted and adapted for the career force and to recruit students and to really grow and retrain our own talent pipeline in Hamilton County.”

Community Relations Manager for Duke Energy Mark Labarr said the company wants to help every student realize their full potential.

“We are fully supportive of this work.

When folks are skilled up for the changing economy and workforce needs, when our communities thrive, that is when Duke is thriving as well,” he said. “When the economy is going well and growing and expand-

ing well, Duke is, too.”

Labarr pointed to careers at Duke as an example of what is available to students after high school that they might not be aware of.

“Certainly, college is appropriate for a number of students, but we have jobs — good-paying jobs available with a high school diploma, such as line work with a four-year apprenticeship paid for by Lively Duke,” he said. “And after four years, they can be earning six figures without going to college, and I think that would be attractive to folks.”

“These are the conversations we have to have to destigmatize these opportunities,” Lively said. “We have told students there is one pathway, and that is to graduate high school and go to college and find a job. But there are a lot of jobs that can provide for your family and provide great futures for a child that does not meet the college-for-all rhetoric. A big focus of HCCCA is educating the community on occupations that are available.”

HCCCA plans to pilot multiple programs in fall 2022 to offer opportunities not previously available to students.

“We are looking at building a program in key economic sectors — ag, health care, manufacturing, construction trade and cybersecurity,” Lively said. “In talking with schools and the community and employers in and around Hamilton County, we want to really focus on key sectors that are underserved right now.”

The funding will run through September 2022. The HCCCA is managed by Invest Hamilton County, the county’s local economic development organization, in direct coordination with representatives from the six Hamilton County school corporations.

“The idea is to expand career and tech offerings. When you think of careers and tech, there is a stigma that it is only things such as construction and cosmetology. But the goal of every high school student is to have a career at some point” — CARRIE LIVELY, HAMILTON COUNTY CENTER FOR CAREER ACHIEVEMENT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Shade shows her versatility for NHS girls basketball team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School guard Ashlynn Shade’s list of final eight college choices reads like a who’s who of women’s college basketball.

Shade, one of the most highly sought juniors in the nation, has narrowed her list to Connecticut, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tennessee, Louisville, Indiana University, Vanderbilt and North Carolina.

“The thing I am looking for most in a college is a family culture,” Shade said. “I know wherever I go I am going to be surrounded by so much talent, so the biggest thing for me is culture, looking for my home away from home.”

The 5-foot-9 Shade is ranked No. 5 in ESPN’s Class of 2023 recruiting rankings.

Shade averaged 23.9 points on 47 percent shooting and 8.1 rebounds last season to help the Millers to a 21-5 record and their first sectional crown since 2015.

“Ash is a hard worker,” Millers coach Donna Buckley said. “She is a straight-A student who excels on and off the floor. In addition to being a great student/athlete, she is also

a joy to coach.”

Shade helped her father, Matt Shade, coach a third-grade team from IGB to an AAU national title last summer.

“They’re like my little sisters,” said Shade,

who played for the Lady Gym Rats last summer but plans to play for IGB next summer.

Shade, who averaged 20.5 points as a freshman, was averaging 19.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and five assists in the Millers’ (50) first five games this season.

“The most improvements I have made from last season is being a better leader for my team and making everyone around me better,” Shade said. “My goals are very team oriented this year, so being a better leader will help our team accomplish those goals.”

Shade said there are always parts of her overall game she is seeking to improve.

Shade said she and the team are very motivated after reaching regionals last season.

“Because it proved to ourselves what we were capable of, and with our team returning so many players, it makes us even hungrier to go even farther in the tournament,” she said.

At a young age, Shade played multiple sports because she liked to stay active.

“But basketball has always been my love.

When I would play other sports, all I could think about was dribbling a ball,” she said.

“It wasn’t until middle school when I solely focused on basketball.”

City of Noblesville restores downtown brick alley

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville reopened a rehabilitated brick alley Nov. 19 in downtown Noblesville. The project CONSTRUCTION was a collaboration between the city and the Noblesville Preservation Alliance.

The north/south alley between Ninth and 10th streets and north of Maple Street in downtown Noblesville was the city’s last remaining brick alley. Earlier in the year, the engineering department determined the alley needed rehabilitation. As a result of the collaboration, 70 percent of the bricks were salvaged, cleaned and reused.

The bricks were laid into a concrete bed structure. The cost of the bricks preservation was $50,000. Replacing the alley with asphalt would have cost about $10,000.

“The condition of the bricks was OK, it was just the ground had shifted and moved so much over time since it had been last fortified,” Noblesville Common Council member Aaron Smith said. “To take the bricks out and put them back is such a tedious and expensive process.”

The downtown district committee paid for the project.

“This is a good example of collaboration between the city and the preservation alliance,” Smith said. “The city and the preservation alliance have really forged a good relationship together, and I think this is a great example of how everybody can win while still accomplishing different things.”

A plaque was installed near the alley

The north/south brick alley between Ninth and 10th streets is the last remaining brick alley in downtown Noblesville.

depicting a historic photo of residents watching the paving of the first brick street in Noblesville in 1892. The last paragraph of the plaque reads: “Recognizing that the last brick alley was of historic merit, members of the administration of Mayor Chris Jensen requested input from the Noblesville Preservation Alliance (NPA) rather than following the established practice of paving over brick roadways in disrepair. All recognized the value of preserving this last important vestige of our City’s past. Members of the city council, engineering department, and NPA devised a plan to preserve as much as possible of the original brick while allowing for essential repairs and correction of drainage issues.

This alley is now safe and functional, but still a beautiful remnant of Noblesville’s bygone horse and buggy days, preserved for present and future lovers of history.”

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville First United Methodist Church’s Christmas Festival of Music and Art puts a spotlight EVENT on the artwork of Janus Development Services clients.

Janus provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to participate and contribute within the Rairdon community.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 12 with the Janus Art Sale, followed by prelude music at 6:40 p.m. and a 7 p.m. concert.

“Janus loves this event not just because of the around $3,000 typically raised for their work, but because it is also great for their clients to be connected to the community of Noblesville,” Noblesville First UMC Lead Pastor Jerry Rairdon said. “It makes them feel a part of the community and welcomed by the community. I know it does our congregation good to see the contribution people with special needs make to our

community. I believe it makes us all a little more human and adds to the quality of our compassion.”

Jeff Wright, the church’s director of music ministry, said there is an offering during the performance, and all donations go to Janus Developmental Services.

Two choirs are featured.

The Chancel Choir of First UMC is featured singing with an orchestra. In addition, the Janus Choir Wright also will perform seasonal songs during the show.

“I think a favorite moment in the evening is when the audience sings along with the Chancel Choir and orchestra on a medley of Christmas carols,” Wright said. “It’s truly a magical experience to hear all those voices singing the songs of the season, accompanied by an orchestra.”

Wright said the collaboration with Janus started four years ago, but the performance was canceled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The project used both the Duke Energy Mid-Stream HVAC program and their prescriptive lighting program to capture rebates for the high efficiency lighting and occupancy sensors. The 40,000-square-foot facility uses 42 percent of the energy used per square foot compared to their previous Noblesville location.

Noblesville teen receives national award A Noblesville teen recently received a national award for her volunteer service.

Madeline Reiff received ACHIEVEMENT the Gold Spiritual of Prudential Community Service Award for her contributions to the White River Christian Church Food Pantry.

The award recognizes middle and high school youth who make meaningful and impactful volunteer contributions to their community.

“It’s a big honor and it makes me feel pretty great,” said Reiff, a freshman at Options Charter School of Noblesville. “It brings recognition to food pantries.”

Reiff started volunteering with her family when she was 8.

“I like helping and meeting the guests.

Anyone can have a hard time,” the 15-yearold said. “It means a lot to serve others with joy and passion.”

Reiff’s mother, Sarah, said volunteering was a big part of her life growing up, and she wanted to instill that same spirit of service in her children.

“It’s a great honor to see your children serve others because it’s a lifelong skill and compassion they developed and can use the rest of their lives,” Sarah said. “I think it’s important for kids to see the value in serving their community.”

Reiff volunteers about 10 hours a week at the food pantry depending on her school schedule. She also does other volunteer work, such as picking up diapers or food for

the pantry. She has completed more than 500 volunteer and service hours.

“I get joy from helping people,” she said.

But volunteering isn’t the only way Reiff has given back. She also designed, illustrated and wrote a book called “What Everyone Needs to Know,” which is about the death of George Floyd. She provided a copy to the Noblesville Diversity Library at City Hall, to her school and to the Floyd family’s attorney, Benjamin Crump, who presented it to the family.

“I tell people that it’s not OK, (Floyd’s death) should not have happened, it was wrong,” Reiff said. “To know his family got the book is just, wow. I didn’t think they would actually receive it.”

Reiff believes anyone, no matter their age, can make a difference and encourages other youth to do what they can in their communities.

“They should help out because it’s a really good way to interact with people and help them get stuff they need,” she said. “Sometimes people have lost their jobs and are trying to keep things stable and it can be hard for them.”

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We’re honored you continue to put your trust in our team.

Pilot program equips female inmates to become business owners upon release

By Anna Skinner and Rachel Greenberg anna@youarecurrent.com When inmate Jennifer Bellah leaves the Hamilton County Jail, she has a detailed business plan to follow to create her own baking business. She will soon be a graduate of the new Launch HOPE Foundation, which equips female inmates with skills such as sewing or entrepreneurship to prepare them for life outside of jail so they’re less likely to return behind bars.

The Launch HOPE Foundation started in the Hamilton County Jail earlier this year. It is only available to female inmates. The program is led by Butler professor Kristi Mitchell, who teaches the women entrepreneurial skills. A portion of the program teaches tangible skills, like sewing.

Bellah, who is serving time for theft, is grateful for the Launch HOPE Foundation experience. She said with a criminal history, it’s hard to get a good job, but now she plans to be self-employed.

“It’s like a merry-go-round,” she said.

“I don’t want to steal. I don’t want to use drugs. But I can’t wait three weeks to get a paycheck because I was living in a hotel.

I have to go out and do this (steal). You’ve never had a hand to get off (the merry-goround), and now I have that hand to get off. That’s what they do. God put me here for a reason because I was not going to be stopped on my own.”

Bellah previously worked for Cake Bake in Broad Ripple and is skilled in cake decorating. As she navigated her business creation plan with the Launch HOPE Foundation, she wanted to start a wedding cake and cupcake business but realized she needed more name recognition in that industry before launching that dream.

Upon release, Bellah will live at The Hope Center for a year, which also has a commercial kitchen she plans to work out of.

“I’m still doing cupcakes and cakes, but to get started, I’ll be doing business-to-business. To start as a decorator, you have to have a (well-known) name,” Bellah said. “So, to establish myself for the first few years, I’ll be doing cupcakes, cookies, gourmet English muffins and scones for businesses,

Mitchell said.

Mitchell said much of the course has to do with changing the inmates’ mindsets.

“When we are inside the jail facilities, we do a lot of work with the entrepreneurial growth mindsets,” Mitchell said. “Just having the mindset of a growth mindset helps when they get out. If you change the way you think, the things you think about change. It’s a key factor in terms of, ‘I can do this. I don’t have to do whatever I was doing before.’ It gives them hope that there’s more than just a menial job for them.”

Nine women are enrolled in the program in the Hamilton County Jail. An additional 10 women are on a waitlist.

The Launch HOPE Foundation also has an entrepreneurship center at the Phalen Leadership Academy on the east side of Indianapolis. Three new entrepreneurship centers are planned.

so I won’t have a storefront.”

Bellah’s baked goods will be sold at businesses, offices, coffee shops, cafeterias and hospitals.

Bellah is scheduled to be released by Dec. 28 or earlier, and she’s eager to get started.

She said her dream feels real.

“I have always thought about doing a business on my own, but I didn’t know how to get there,” Bellah said. “I had no idea. I never would’ve had the confidence to do it, either. So now, I literally have a whole business plan set up. All we are waiting for is me to get out. It feels wonderful. “(Mitchell) has taught us a lot how to get from Point A to Point B.”

Mitchell, an Indianapolis resident, teaches a business accelerator program to the women while they’re in jail and after their release.

“I vet business concepts, and when they get released, they have the option to go into the business accelerator where they bring their company to market,” Mitchell said.

College interns help the new entrepreneurs with launching a proof-of-concept plan, marketing, website design and sourcing suppliers.

“Whatever their unique business needs, they work with the entrepreneur – not just doing it for them, but doing it with them so the entrepreneur learns simultaneously,”

Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush said the Launch HOPE Foundation’s goal is to show female inmates that the county is invested in their success.

“We are trying to invest in them and hopefully give them a skill to help them be more confident in themselves and successful when they leave here,” Quakenbush said.

Although most inmates at the Hamilton County Jail are incarcerated an average of 60 days, Quakenbush said it’s still important to teach them entrepreneurial skills.

“Obviously, they’ve hit a low point and we are trying to intervene so they don’t come back,” Quakenbush said. “How do we help them be more successful and more productive in society? That’s really what we’re focused on.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Polite lies

A social engineering triumph

Commentary by Terry Anker Although there are countless ways to do it, there are none that don’t hurt, at least a little. When it is time for the breakup, somebody always feels the sting. Sure, Hollywood types talk about the “conscious uncoupling” from their fourth marriage. And occasionally, the relationship is not particularly beneficial to either party – it is just that neither side wants to call it quits. In business, and also family, not everything lasts forever. It may have been the best contract ever when it was signed, or so it seemed. Still, we rarely benefit in exactly the same way all the time.

So the conversation, whether in person, by email, phone, video call, post-it note or sky writing, usually starts with some attempt to make the soon-to-be injured party think that the person delivering the bad news is still a good person. “It is not anybody’s fault. It’s not you, it is me. We’re going to try another direction but don’t want for us to end with any negative feelings.” OK. If there is so much love, why is the relationship ending?

What they probably are avoiding saying is more like, “This relationship does not work and cannot end fast enough to suit me – it is your fault and there is no way to make it go with an idiot like you.” Well, maybe it is not quite that mean-spirited. But when we hold back, are we doing so to protect the feelings of others or to assuage our own guilt for our part in the failure? If we are entirely correct in the decision, would it be more helpful to the other person to say why, or would it be pointlessly cruel to explain our understanding of the problem? If we learn from our mistakes, what can we learn from a polite lie?

Folks, I recently made real progress in my 70/30 commitment to be more social.

I am not fully dedicated to this goal because I recognize my limits both as an introvert and an early-to-bed hater of evenings. But my husband Doo doesn’t want me to become an agoraphobic cat lady when he passes, which will almost certainly be before me, so he’s been pushing me to make friends and “get out there” on a more regular basis. And though I absolutely loathe the idea, I recognize he probably has a point about me becoming a curmudgeonly hermit.

Read on for the details of my small personal triumph.

The school where I teach organized a series of trivia nights to encourage faculty to get to know each other better.

I chose one where the venue and date played into my well-orchestrated workday routine: It was close to my house and would be over by 9 p.m. But as the big moment approached, I could feel my anxiety kick in and looked for excuses to bail. “I’m too tired!” “This lady who also signed up is in a different department.” “I don’t wanna! Wah!” Doo and my daughter did little to hide their disgust and eventually shamed me into going.

And I’m so glad they did. We discovered a new place, enjoyed time together and took home third place (we headed into the final question in first, but mixed up the number of Elvis’ Grammys with Shaq’s NBA career 3-pointers. Stupid!).

My colleague never showed, so I didn’t technically socialize, but I did spend two hours at a bar on a Thursday! Yay, me!

Peace out.

DISPATCH Stocks for the Biden presidency — Renewable energy is sector in which the president and the Democrats, who control the White House and both chambers of Congress, could have the strongest influence. The president plans to make U.S. climate policy an engine for employment and economic growth. Biden’s “New Green Deal” calls for a nationwide emissions-free electricity grid in just 15 years through energy legislation, executive orders, incentives and subsidies that will benefit solar, wind and hydroelectric companies. Stocks to watch include: • Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP) owns a portfolio of more than 5,000 renewable power–generating properties including wind, solar and hydroelectric facilities across four continents. The company has projects in development that should nearly double its power-generating capacity. Recent share price: $45.22.

• NextEra Energy (NEE) provides electricity for 5.5 million customers in Florida. But it is best known as the world’s largest producer of wind and solar energy. NextEra, which has increased its annual dividend for 26 consecutive years, is so far ahead of its peers in converting fossil fuel–powered plants to cleaner energy sources that it should continue to deliver a double-digit compound annual growth rate in a sector known for low single-digit growth. Recent share price: $81.19.

• Invesco Solar ETF (TAN). Many solar stocks have exhibited huge volatility in the past year, so it’s better to use an exchange-traded fund (ETF) to diversify and bet on a wide swath of them — all of which could benefit from renewable-energy legislation and wider consumer adoption of solar energy. Invesco Solar, launched in 2008, is the largest and oldest solar-focused ETF with more than $5.1 billion in assets. It holds 30 of the top companies including First Solar, the leading US solar-panel manufacturer, and Enphase Energy, which provides solar-energy software and systems for homeowners. Recent share price: $118.45.

Carmel father/daughter duo get opportunity to act together in ‘Elf The Musical’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jack Tanselle has a special reason for returning to the stage to act for the first time in 23 years; he gets to THEATER perform with his daughter.

The last time he performed was in a graduate school follies show in 1998 at Northwestern University.

“My daughter has been in a number of shows at Civic Theatre over the years,” the Carmel resident said.

A senior at Park Tudor High School, Mary Kate Tanselle was trying out for her first main stage show as an adult when she auditioned.

“She and others encouraged me to go through a show with her and go through the process of preparing for a show with her, realizing there may not be another moment when that can actually happen,” Jack said. “I was pretty excited when I got the role.”

Jack and Mary Kate will appear together in Civic Theatre’s production of “Elf The Musical” from Dec. 3 to 24 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Jack plays Walter Hobbs, Buddy the Elf’s father. Mary Kate is in the ensemble.

“Prior to her getting her driver’s license, the most involved we were was chauffeuring her to rehearsals,” Jack said. “We were living vicariously through her on what the whole process was like. But it’s been a whole other experience to be here every night with rehearsals. One funny thing is, we are not in a scene together until the finale by the role I play and all the different roles she plays. When I’m not in a scene, I’m able to watch her and vice versa.

“She’s had an awesome experience with the staff at Civic over the last eight to 10 years, and she has turned around and been quite a helpful coach to me.”

Jack said he had to learn the process of memorizing lines and getting comfortable reacting.

Mary Kate said she has watched videos

of her father performing at Lebanon High School.

“It’s been fun to see him perform again.

It’s been especially fun to see him do it at Civic, a place I’ve grown up and done so many performances here,” she said. “He’s always been in the audience, and it’s fun to have him on the stage at this time. We had a lot of friends and family pushing him to do it. I helped him prep for the audition and gave him the best tricks and tips I know. That was fun, too.”

Mary Kate said the dancing for her role is intense.

“It’s really hard to not laugh at Matt Bays, who plays Buddy,” Mary Kate said.

“Your character has to keep a straight face, and sometimes he’s so darn funny, you can’t keep a straight face.”

Bays, a former Westfield resident who moved to Cincinnati, is returning in the role he played in Civic’s 2019 production of “Elf The Musical.”

Indianapolis resident Carrie Neal returns in the role of Emily Hobbs, Walter’s wife.

“I never had any doubt about that,” Neal said of wanting to reprise the role. “I sing five or six songs by myself or with someone. We get to be part of the action, which is really fun. I’ve been doing (theater) as a volunteer and professional for more than 20 years, and I would put this in the top three shows (I’ve) ever done.

“The audiences love it so much. There is something special about bringing the holiday to someone.”

Noblesville resident Emily Bohannon returns in the role of Jovie.

“The way you play a character has so much to do with the people who share a stage with you,” Bohannon she said. “I’m reacting to their energy. There are changes I’ve made, and changes Matt has made. In 2019, I just wanted to do a good job (and) I was so tense. This time, I’m more relaxed and having more fun.”

Actor switches gears in show

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Duane Leatherman admitted it was time to step out of his comfort zone.

After playing PLAY guardian angel Clarence in three previous productions, Leatherman will play Mr. Potter in Carmel Community Players’ presentation of “It’s a WonLeatherman derful Life: A Live Radio Show” Dec. 2 to 5 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel “Three times seemed like enough to play Clarence, but I had always thought Potter seemed like a fun role to play,” Leatherman said. “Often, who do many people remember? The creepy and/or nasty villain.

Besides, without Potter, the story would never have happened or been as dramatic.

Quintessential good versus evil, with the good winning.”

For professional and COVID-19 reasons, Leatherman lives on the Butler campus as a faculty-in-residence, and his wife, Linnea,

lives in their Westfield home. Linnea plays three roles. She is the angel superintendent, who supervises Clarence, and portrays George’s mother, Rose, and a bank employee, Matilda.

Besides Potter, Leatherman also plays Gower, the pharmacist.

Sydney Loomis portrays George Bailey.

“First of all, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is my favorite movie ever made,” Loomis Loomis said. “I love the George Bailey character because I can identify with him so easily, and we both have a lot in common, including pulling my little brother out of a pond when he was about 4 years old. I was about 10 years old when I pulled my brother Jon out of our neighbor’s fish pond.”

Loomis, a 1978 Noblesville High School graduate, was in a Carmel Theatre Co. production of “It’s a Wonderful Life” (radio play) in 2017, playing George Bailey. A Cicero resident, he is the branch manager of The Farmers Bank, 16940 Clover Rd., in Noblesville.

Dancer lands ‘Plum’ role

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This is the role Rebecca Zigmond has longed wanted to perform.

The Guerin Catholic High DANCE School junior and Carmel resident will perform the role of Sugar Plum in Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s student production of “The Nutcracker” at 3 and 7 p.m. Dec. 4 at Pike Performing Arts Center, 6701 Zionsville Rd., Indianapolis.

“Growing up performing annually in ‘The Nutcracker,’ I always loved watching the Sugar Plum and, of course, dreamed of dancing that role one day,” Zigmond said.

“So many other dancers that I have looked up to over the years have performed this role in the past, and I am so excited to be a part of it. I hope that I can inspire the younger dancers in the same way and that they can aspire to achieve their dreams.”

Zigmond has been dancing since age 3.

She started in GHDT’s ‘The Nutcracker’ in 2012 and became a student at The Academy of GHDT in 2013. She has been a member of G2, the pre-professional company of GHDT,

for six years.

“I have never done partnering before, so it has been a great experience learning to do that,” Zigmond said. “My teachers have been really helpful in making me feel more confident with it.”

GHDT company dancer Adrian Dominguez will dance the role of The Nutcracker Prince.

The production portrays Klara as a homeless orphan who discovers the true meaning of the season through the gift and giving spirit of a homeless person.

Klara is performed by dancer Leighton Metcalfe, 9, from Peru, Ind.

Anderson returns to Palladium

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com For professional singer Jessamyn Anderson, performing with the Indiana Wind Symphony each December CONCERT is something more than an annual stop on a busy tour schedule.

It’s how she ushers in the holidays.

“I am thrilled to sing with the Indiana Wind Symphony for 10 years in a row,” said Anderson, a Carmel native who resides in Columbia, Tenn. “It has become a bit of a holiday tradition to start the season on the Palladium stage, and I am grateful that the trend continues.”

A 2011 Carmel High School graduate, Anderson will perform twice with the IWS during its Dec. 5 presentations of “Santa and Mrs. Claus Visit the Palladium” and “A Most Glorious Season.” Both shows are at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Geared for younger audiences, “Santa and Mrs. Claus” is a 50-minute show that starts at 2 p.m. “A Most Glorious Season” is a full concert that starts at 7 p.m.

Anderson, a soprano whose first professional singing opportunity was with the IWS during her freshman year in college, looks forward to what has become a holiday and a homecoming tradition.

“This will be my 10th season performing with the ensemble, and it’s honestly more fun every year,” she said. “In a way, I’ve grown up professionally alongside this group of musicians, and it’s a joy to come

back each year.”

Among other holiday and winter favorites, Anderson will sing “White Christmas,” “O Holy Night,” “Merry Christmas Darling” and “Let it Go.” “We always look forward to this day because it is such a wonderful time for the audience,” IWS founder/Music Director Charles Conrad said. “(The show) reminds us all of holidays with our family and friends.”

Anderson agrees.

“Live music is essential to a culture in desperate need of hope and unity, particularly during the holidays, which can be a hard time for those grieving loved ones or experiencing the weight of loneliness,” she said. “I am honored to bring the Christmas spirit into the hearts of all who attend this concert or tune into the livestream.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel cosmetic kitchen upgrade Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1999, this home is in Carmel’s Emerald Estates neighborhood. The owners wanted to update the kitchen without replacing the cabinets.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The existing cabinets were in excellent shape, so they were freshened up with new paint. The countertop was replaced with quartz.

• One new base cabinet was added to the island to provide additional storage. The doors feature wire mesh for visibility and added style.

• Wine racking was installed in the niche above the oven for more functionality.

• The flooring is luxury vinyl plank in a beautiful, weathered finish.

‘Tis the season to get it right Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Butler University’s Hinkle Fieldhouse. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Tour of Hinkle Fieldhouse Commentary by Don Knebel In 1921, 22-year-old Paul D. “Tony” Hinkle, a two-time basketball All-American at the University of Chicago, became TRAVEL assistant basketball coach at Butler University, then in Irvington. In 1924, Butler won the AAU national tournament as Butler was planning a move to its current location. Butler hired Indianapolis architect Fermor Spencer Cannon to design a facility worthy of a national champion. Hinkle became head basketball coach in 1926, and construction of the brick and stone arena at the corner of Boulevard Place and 49th Street began in 1927.

When completed a year later, Butler Fieldhouse, engineered so all 15,000 fans had an unobstructed court view, was the largest basketball arena in the United States, a rank it maintained until 1950. In the inaugural game on March 7, 1928, the Hinkle-led Bulldogs defeated top-ranked Notre Dame in overtime. In 1929, Butler again defeated Notre Dame and won its second national basketball championship. During World War II, the fieldhouse was a barracks. In 1966, with Hinkle serving as both head basketball and head football coach, Butler’s trustees renamed the building “Hinkle Fieldhouse.”

Until 1972, Hinkle Fieldhouse hosted the IHSAA boys basketball finals, the oldest such tournament in the U.S., including the 1954 game in which Milan defeated Muncie Central. The state championship scenes in the movie “Hoosiers,” inspired by that famous game, were filmed in the fieldhouse.

In the 1935 Butler Relays, Jesse Owens set an indoor record in the 60-yard dash in the fieldhouse, which has hosted six presidents

and several religious leaders, including Billy Graham.

Hinkle Fieldhouse, named a National Historic Landmark in 1987, inspired the exterior of what is now Gainbridge Fieldhouse. A $36.2 million renovation completed in 2014 added 4,500 chair seats and a new scoreboard. It is open for self-guided tours on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Put that turkey leg down and listen up!

Today we have to discuss your family’s upcoming holiday card. In addition to the fact that we do not GRAMMAR GUY need to see your pets in your cards, we also don’t need to see any glaring grammar mistakes. Stick to the following tips and you’ll turn a bah, humbug card into a very merry message.

To keep your headings holly and jolly, write “Season’s greetings.” “Seasons greetings” isn’t right because the “greetings” belong to the “season.” Therefore, we need the apostrophe.

Continuing on the theme of that grinch of a punctuation mark called the apostrophe, let’s look at the phrase: ‘tis the season. Never write “tis” with no apostrophe before it. ‘Tis is a conjunction of “it” and “is.”

OK, so it appears that all our holiday card woes stem from the pesky apostrophe.

We see it again in the phrase “Happy New Year.” Don’t write “Happy New Year’s” or “Happy New Years.” However, “New Year’s

Day” and “New Year’s Eve” are correct.”

You only need to capitalize the “m” in “Merry Christmas” if “Merry” begins a sentence or if “Merry Christmas” is the heading at the top of your card. For instance, you would correctly write, “We hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.”

How do you write your family’s last name on a card? Suppose your greeting says, “Merry Christmas from the (your last name here).” Should the last name read “Kringle’s” or “Kringles”? This is by far the most common holiday card faux pas. Never use an apostrophe here; instead, pluralize your last name by adding an “s.” Your family name isn’t possessing anything.

If your family name ends in -s, -ch, -sh, -z or -x (as long as the -x is not silent), add -es to make your last name plural: Happy Holidays from the Joneses.
