Hamilton County, City of Fishers agree to split $42 million in cost overruns for Ind. 37

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.

Current in Noblesville remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the

levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

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

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

will be presented to both councils.

Beaver said the county council and the City of Fishers made an agreement at the beginning of the project to share cost overruns, but that was before the county realized overruns would be more than $40 million. At this month’s county council meeting, members debated the meaning of the word “share.”

“There were several council members who were unhappy and wanted to argue the point that our agreement was we would share, and that share was a word and not a percentage and that we shouldn’t be covering half of it, only a portion of it,” Beaver said.

However, the county agreed to cover half of the cost overruns, with Fishers covering the other half. Beaver said he expects more overruns.

Taylor, however, said he doesn’t expect more cost overruns, and that costs might actually decrease.

Despite several county councilors voting against funding for the county’s share of the cost overruns, the motion passed, but not without a lesson for county council members.

“In the end, we might gripe and complain, but in the end the county is going to pay our half,” Beaver said. “We make a deal, we honor our deal. We’ve never stiffed anybody yet, but I will say to you, projects in the future with any municipality will get a second look.”

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

Indiana officials welcome federal COVID assistance

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb lauded the federal COVID-19 stimulus package that was awaiting President Donald PANDEMIC Trump’s signature as of press time.

Congress approved a $900 billion stimulus package Dec. 20. The bill is crafted to provide qualified recipients with $600 stimulus checks and unemployed Americans with Holcomb weekly $300 payments.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said individual payments could begin as soon as this week.

The nearly 6,000-page bill is the result of months of partisan debate and compromises in Washington, D.C., Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) said during a Dec. 22 virtual press briefing.

“In terms of the household ($600) payment, the number was just the right number in order to get a bill passed,” Young said. “Hoosiers sent me to Washington in order to get an outcome, and outcome often involves principled compromise, and Hoosiers couldn’t wait any longer.

“This should have passed months ago, and it’s unfortunate that it did not and that the gears of Washington took so long to finally get moving and come together.”

At the federal level, the package includes $325 billion for small business relief, including $284 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program second-draw loans. It also includes $25 billion for rental assistance and a onemonth extension of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s eviction moratorium, and $82 billion for education, including $54.3 billion for K-12 schools, and $22.7 billion for higher education. Another $10 billion is allotted for child care, $29 billion for vaccine development and distribution and $22 billion for COVID-19 testing and related state-level efforts.

“Obviously, Indiana went into this pandemic in a strong position, sure footing beneath us, but some unprecedented things washed upon our shores just as they have with Hoosier families,” Holcomb said during the virtual briefing. “And what was passed is going to tremendously help us get through this, and then in turn accelerate away from this pandemic.”

Vaccine update Indiana health officials said they expected for more than 40,000 front-line health care workers in the state to have received their first doses of Pfizer and BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine by the end of Dec. 23.

Phase 1a of the state’s plan calls for front-line health care workers and residents and staff to be vaccinated first. The next groups are other health care workers and essential workers, according to the CDC. State officials expect another 50,000 health care workers to receive first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine by Jan. 4, including 8,800 that were scheduled to receive a vaccine Dec. 22.

On Dec. 18, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of a COVID-19 vaccine produced by Moderna, an American biotechnology company. Shipments of the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines will continue to be sent to Indiana.

State health officials said Indiana received approximately 55,000 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine Dec. 18 and another 39,000 Dec. 22. The vaccine requires two doses administered at least 21 days apart.

Indiana has more than 400,000 health care workers, most of whom are expected to request being vaccinated.

Data collection error On Dec. 22, state health officials acknowledged a previously undetected reporting error.

Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said an error in a computer algorithm used to determine weekly positivity rates was discovered and that fixing the error would change the state’s cumulative positivity rate and individual counties’ positivity rates.

The state initially tracked a seven-day positivity rate by averaging the daily rate during a reporting week, but Box said the formula failed to account for variances in the number of tests conducted each day.

The state will now calculate seven-day positivity rates by assessing the number of positive tests compared to the number of total tests conducted.

Box said the change, which would affect data dating back to the start of the pandemic, would likely increase the state’s cumulative positivity rate. The change would have a less certain affect on individual counties, possibly lowering some rates while raising others and leaving others relatively unchanged.

Law enforcement agencies using new tool for impaired driving — The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute recently provided 52 Indiana law enforcement agencies with a new roadside tool to identify drug-impaired drivers. The device is called SoToxa Mobile Test System. It is a handheld analyzer that uses an oral fluid swab to detect the presence of six kinds of drugs: cocaine, methamphetamine, opiates, cannabis, amphetamine and benzodiazepines. Officers began using the devices in the field this month in response to the emergence of drugged driving taking place in the state and nationwide. According to a 2018 Governors Highway Safety Association report, 44 percent of fatally injured drivers with known results tested positive for drugs in 2016, up from 28 percent a decade ago. Of those drivers, 38 percent tested positive for some form of marijuana, 16 percent tested positive for opioids and 4 percent tested positive for both marijuana and opioids.

Westfield man adopts HSHC’s longest resident pet The Humane Society for Hamilton County’s longest pet resident has a home for the holidays – ANIMALS and beyond.

Taylor, a dog who has been at the HSHC since January 2019, was adopted by Westfield resident Sean Barr on Nov. 30. Barr fostered Taylor for a month before deciding to adopt her.

“She’s been here since January of 2019, so almost two years,” HSHC Director of Marketing Max Williams said. “She’s only 2, so that’s pretty much her entire life.”

One of the reasons Taylor had difficulty being adopted is because she has a genetic defect that led to chronic pulmonary disease, which is similar to cystic fibrosis in people.

“She has the equivalent of between asthma and cystic fibrosis in humans, which causes her lungs to fill with fluid,” Williams said.

Taylor requires breathing treatments twice a day and other methods to break up mucus in her lungs. Prior to adopting

Taylor, Barr’s 17-year-old Shiba Inu had recently died.

“He wasn’t sure if he was ready for another dog, but one day he was at work and thought it was time, so he started looking around on the internet and came across Taylor on our website,” Williams said. “He read her story and he felt like she was the right dog for him, so he reached out.”

Taylor required a thorough vetting process due to her medical condition.

“We had to make sure it was the right fit and someone who was going to provide care for her and her needs,” Williams said. “(Barr) was ready for it. He fell in love with her.”

Taylor is the HSHC’s longest pet resident ever. When she went home with Barr, volunteers and staff lined up outside to say goodbye.

“She was a shelter favorite, and we just celebrated her second birthday,” Williams said. “Two years is a really long time, and it was just hard because people were scared of her disease.”

The Levinson, Lofts on Tenth to be complete next year; mental health coalition to launch

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

DOWNTOWN

Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said 2020 has been a year of ideas and announcements, and he expects 2021 to be the year of implementaJensen tion.

Jensen has outlined several construction projects that will begin in 2021.

Jensen said one thing he and the city learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is that downtown Noblesville needs more walkability.

“We have been working with the downtown streetscape master plan done several years ago and are now more into the implementation phase of how to design downtown to be more pedestrian-friendly, more COVID-friendly, if you will,” Jensen said. “We want to allow for that outdoor space and expansion of sidewalks with an emphasis on aesthetics and quality-of-life issues downtown on the square.”

PANACEA

Panacea will build its North American headquarters in Noblesville. (Submitted rendering)

Panacea announced in February that it planned to build its North American headquarters in Noblesville at 141st Street and Olio Road. Panacea is a medical-tech and life science company in India. It wants to expand operations in the United States for research and development and engineering and manufacturing modern radiotherapy machines to diagnose and treat cancer. Panacea will build a new 20,000-square-foot facility along the I-69 corridor at 141st Street and Olio Road. Construction will begin in 2021.

Jensen said major infrastructure improvements will be made in that area of town, such as the widening of Olio Road between 141st and 146th streets and the widening of 146th Street from Bergen Boulevard to Olio Road with a roundabout at 146th Street and Olio Road.

“That’s going to make (improvements to) our eastern edge as we focus infrastructure dollars out east, and that’s an exciting time for us out there,” Jensen said.

THE LEVINSON AND LOFTS ON TENTH

Construction of The Lofts on Tenth will be complete in the second quarter of 2021.

Jensen said The Levinson project and the Lofts on Tenth project will be complete by the second quarter of 2021.

The Levinson consists of apartments, parking and retail space at the northwest quadrant of Ninth and Maple streets in downtown Noblesville. It has below-ground parking with 300 spaces, 200 of which will be full-time public spaces. There will be 5,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor for one to three new businesses. The third floor will have amenities such as a coworking space and a fitness room. The fourth and fifth floors will have 85 apartments.

The Lofts on Tenth is a $7.7 million project that will add 31,700 square feet of mixed-use development on 10th Street between Clinton and Wayne streets.

Construction soon will begin at the Village at Federal Hill, a residential living and high-end commercial space in the downtown area on the west side of the White River near Federal Hill Commons.

OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

OTHER PROJECTS

Although the 146th Street and Ind. 37 interchange is a project conducted jointly by the City of Fishers and Hamilton County, Noblesville stands to benefit.

“The State Road 37 Project is well under way, and the 146th Street interchange is being completed next year, which is very impactful for Noblesville,” Jensen said.

Other projects include a roundabout at Ind. 32 and Ind. 38 by Riverview Hospital.

“That is an exciting time for a major connective artery where those two roads meet on the west side of the (White) river,” Jensen said.

The city also will focus resources on the Pleasant Street project and funding. Land acquisition for the project will begin next year, and construction will begin in late 2022 and continue throughout 2023.

Jensen campaigned on four pillars when he ran for mayor: infrastructure, downtown, economic development and public safety. In relation to the public safety piece, Jensen said 2021 will be a year to focus on mental health and a citywide mental health coalition.

LETTER

Level of care

Current should do better

Commentary by Terry Anker Here we sit at the precipice of another year as 2020 wanes. Some might say good riddance. Others, probably quietly, took great advantage of the previous months and are unhappy to let them pass. For the introverts, a little less water cooler talk is welcomed. For the extroverts, the daily performance art that is the protracted Zoom meeting is a joy.

There are those who love the time at home — day drinking is harder to pull off when “officially” on the job. Household chores are attended, and commuting is a thing of the past.

But also, there are those who suffered their partner’s “harmless” afternoon “just to make it through that last Zoom” beer that led to six more and a drunken night of abuse. Too many face being evicted because carry-out doesn’t replace the lost shifts and tip income. A few mourn the death of family or friends, from COVID-19 or from other causes, and will long regret that they were unable to hug one last time and say goodbye.

Regardless of the perspective, time marches on and this rotation of our planet around the sun is about to culminate for all. Yet even as 2020 spins off, its reality marches on. Dec. 31 is only a made-up day on a made up-calendar (the Romans fought over who were the namesakes for the longest and most coveted periods of the year). With each day bringing more light, are the darkest days now behind?

Can we feel empathy for those near us most suffering while still celebrating our own improved condition? Will we be amongst those who survive (and even flourish) during winter? If so, can we reconcile the disproportional effect of it? Or is it more likely that we don’t really care as long as we come out on top?

The (dead) beat goes on Commentary by Danielle Wilson Wouldn’t you know it, to close out 2020, I got sent to collections! How’s that for a fitting end to this awful year?

HUMOR Not surprisingly, the alleged incident involves a February ER run and mishandled insurance claims.

Admittedly, as the point person for this particular bill, I dropped the ball. I confused the physician statement with the hospital one, assuming they were the same, as they were both outrageously expensive and within $50 of each other. And because I was preoccupied with my dad dying from cancer and the intensifying COVID-19 pandemic, I pretty much ignored the perpetual flood of statements for most of the summer, thinking insurance would ultimately take care of it. If only it had been filed correctly!

When the first “pink slip” arrived in August, I immediately sought to remedy the situation. I spoke with insurance directly, set up a payment plan, and even signed up for auto draft so I wouldn’t forget to pay. But for

whatever reason, none of this was communicated to one of the health care providers, which obviously proceeded with collections.

The kicker is, we only discovered the debacle because the interest rate on yet another student loan I was co-signing (so our oldest could return to an exorbitantly priced in-state school, mind you) came back at 13 percent! Thirteen! My husband, Doo, applied and was offered 6 percent. What the what!

Now, I’ve been financially blackballed.

Fiscally shamed. Deemed unworthy of a respectable credit score. Seems about right, given the apocalypse. Thank goodness I only have to survive a few more days before I can legitimately say, “Farewell, 2020, you stupid awful year!”

Peace out.

Fiscally shamed. Deemed unworthy of a respectable credit score. Seems about right, given the apocalypse.

Editor, Although I have many issues with the Mari Briggs’ letter (Election Handed to Biden) in your Dec. 1 issue, my bigger concern is that you actually published it. Below the letter, Current’s policies for publishing state, “Current retains the right to reject or return any letter it deems to carry unsubstantiated content.”

The first two sentences of the letter in question state that Biden did not win the election and then repeats the wornout conspiracy theories about cheating, vote flipping and fraud. All “unsubstantiated content.”

While I do not begrudge the writer her right to state opinions, I am disappointed that Current would print the statements that are known to be false.

Or as you say, unsubstantiated. Publishing these conspiracy theories perpetuates the attempts to erode our democracy. Biden won a free and legitimate election, which has been substantiated by numerous courts across the country.

I expect better out of Current.

Something actually funny about 2020 Commentary by Dick Wolfsie According to the cover of the Dec. 14 edition of Time magazine, the year 2020 was “The Worst Year Ever.”

HUMOR Sad to say, there is a lot of truth in that for many of us, but I have sought for the last 50 weeks to find humor in a world that desperately needs some laughs. So, as I do every year at this time, here is a quick look back at a few of my most comment-generating columns of the past year. In this case, hindsight really is 2020. So, thanks to…

• My wife, who refused to characterize my daily exercise routine as running, or jogging, or even fast walking. I Googled the difference and showed Mary Ellen the mph rundown for each definition.

“Look up running in place,” she said.

• An article in Consumer Digest that warned we are all unknowingly eating too much plastic. Apparently, the average person eats the equivalent of a credit card each week. You can imagine how deadly it would be to swallow your entire Mastercard. You don’t want

to expire before the card does.

• Our local HOA that organized a cornhole tournament this summer. Mary Ellen was very concerned about COVID-19, so I had to constantly rub my hands with antibacterial gel. I also wasn’t allowed to eat off the pitch-in buffet table because, to quote my wife, “You’ve touched everyone’s equipment in the neighborhood.”

• The PlantSnap app claims that with a click of your smartphone camera it can name any plant you might want to identify. One night, I was messing with the app and accidentally snapped a photo of my toes. I was surprised to find that I do not have a foot at the end of my leg but rather a fine example of a pleurotus cystidiosus — or for those unschooled in the world of fungi, my toes are actually mushrooms.

• My wife (again), who apparently has major crushes on two men seen on TV. First, Idris Elba. The 6-foot-3 talented actor is a major hunk with a British accent. She also has a thing for Dr. Anthony Fauci. Standing 5-7, he’s a brilliant

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

• To my insurance company that gave me a gadget to insert in the car dashboard. It monitors my driving habits to demonstrate I am a safe driver and therefore less likely to have an accident. I had a perfect driving record.

Maybe that’s because I haven’t gone anywhere in 10 months, unless you count backing out of the driveway to get to the mailbox.

• Finally, to WISH-TV. The day I retired after 30 years, I said to my boss it seemed like just yesterday that I had no idea what camera to look into, and that I felt nervous and unprepared for my segment on the air.

“That was yesterday,” he said.

Have a great 2021, everybody!

Pain-free!

"Excruciating pain from the little toe on my left foot is what brought me in to see Dr. Sullivan. I was in such constant pain that I couldn't walk. After Dr. Sullivan performed a minor in-office procedure, I could walk again pain-free and help take my care of my grandson. Dr. Sullivan is a miracle worker!"

Five Hamilton County high school students have dubbed themselves The Action Five.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE The group started a chapter of VOICE Indiana, which is a statewide initiative to engage, educate and empower teens on maintaining a tobacco-free lifestyle.

“The most important thing to me about being a core team member of VOICE Indiana is that I have the ability to educate my peers about vaping and help them learn that what they are doing to their bodies today can affect their futures,” said Guerin Catholic senior Lucy Schenk, a Westfield resident and Action Five member. “We created a QR code with a link to a Google survey asking students from Hamilton County to share with us their story about how tobacco has affected them, whether that be directly or through family/friends.

“We posted this QR code around our schools, on our social media and handed out flyers to have participants take the survey.”

Schenk participated, along with her four other core team members from Hamilton County, in the Rotary Club’s Dec. 1 meeting.

“We will be presenting our ‘sweet deceptions’ program there,” Schenk said.

“Our project for the Nov. 19 Great American

Smokeout was that we took those responses from our Google survey and creating a banner mural to display all the stories. With the use of symbols and images, we have a group from Noblesville High School who will be designing our mural for us.

“After the mural is created, we will make copies and ask to hang the murals in most of the high schools in Hamilton County.”

Westfield High School sophomore Alana Halsted is another Action Five and core member.

“What is important to me is helping those who use tobacco know the dangers and get help with quitting,” she said.

Halsted participated in Red Ribbon Week, which began Oct. 26.

“I participated by telling my friends and other students about what we were doing and how they could participate (and) I shared my story as an example on a video so others could feel more welcome to join and share their stories,” Halsted said.

Other Action Five members are Nicole Liu, Noblesville High School; Isabel Jenson, Carmel High School; and Gabe Anderson, Westfield High School.

Other Action Squad members are Alison Beckwith, Hamilton Southeastern High School and Isabella Miller, Noblesville High School.

DISPATCHES Hiring a tax professional — In most states, including Indiana, tax preparers do not have to meet any licensing standards, so you need to do your homework if you plan to hire a professional to do your taxes. Ask about any professional certifications, such as a CPA or Enrolled Agent. Find out what your recourse against the preparer is if you get audited and penalties are assessed.

Finally, ask for references and check them out.

Indiana is 8th-most federally dependent state — A recent study by WalletHub, a personal finance website, shows that Indiana is the eighth-most federally dependent state in the U.S. WalletHub compared the 50 states across three key metrics: Return on taxes paid to the federal government; federal funding as a share of state revenue; and share of federal jobs.

mation websites. INDOT has 19 sites in the Trucks Park Here system along Interstates 65, 69 and 70. The routes are among some of the most important corridors in the U.S. with truck volumes already exceeding 25,000 trucks per day and expected to grow.

Discounts that actually cost you money — Retailers have latched onto a way to offer giant percentages off that are mesmerizing to shoppers but are not what they seem.

The pitch: You get a gigantic discount, typically up to 70 percent off, but the fine print notes that you get that discount only on a second or third of multiple similar items. Signs in store windows and on store shelves (and online) shout out the percentage and shoppers often don’t do the math to see just how unimpressive these offers typically are. For example, based on an offer of “buy two, get the third 50 percent off,” you take three items to checkout, where you then receive a total discount of 17 percent because you pay full price for the first two items.

HSE graduates Ahlwardt, Luginbill produce holiday album

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Ryan Ahlwardt and Mike Luginbill are making music together again.

The 1999 Hamilton SouthMUSIC eastern High School graduates released a holiday album, a five-song EP, “This Year,” under the duo’s name of Small Town City. It is their first album of original music together in 17 years.

The two met in junior high and became close friends while performing together in choir at HSE. The friends then went on to sing together at Indiana University for the a cappella group Straight No Chaser.

Ahlwardt said when Straight No Chaser’s video of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” from 1998 went viral on YouTube in 2007, Atlantic Records soon after offered the group a recording contract, “Mike and I joined SNC again and performed around the world together,” Ahlwardt said. “I was part of the professional group with Mike from 2008 to 2012. He remains a current member and recently sang on ‘The Today Show’ with the group.”

Ahlwardt lives in Fishers and Luginbill is based in Nashville, Tenn.

“Mike and I formed our songwriting duo Small Town City in 2003 during our senior year at IU,” he said. “We chose the name Small Town City in our early 20s from a lyric we liked in a James Taylor song, ‘Her Town Too,’ and recorded ‘Round In Circles,’ our first album of original songs, a handful of years before our adventure performing around the world with Straight No Chaser began.”

Ahlwardt said after several years of recording holiday and pop cover albums together with Straight No Chaser on Atlantic Records, two of which have each sold more than 1 million copies, they decided in 2019 that it was time to return to thir roots of writing original music together. “(The EP) was written and recorded virtually during the pandemic,” Ahlwardt said.

“We plan on writing a new full-length Small

Town City album in 2021 and performing live shows together as soon as we can.”

The duo had two writing sessions in person in January in Nashville and March in Indianapolis before COVID-19 restrictions were implemented.

“The virtual writing process included sending home demos and voice notes on our phones to each other,” Ahlwardt said.

“We recorded our vocals individually from our home studios and sent the files to our producer, Matt Mellinger, who assembled all the parts from the musicians on each song. The pandemic not only inspired many of the lyrical themes on the album, but also forced us to get creative on how we were going to complete the recording process and release the album on time.”

Ahlwardt said Luginbill wrote four new original songs on ‘This Year,’ including the title track that features Brian Newman of Lady Gaga’s band on horns.

“Very Merry Christmas” is their favorite song, Ahlwardt said.

“It’s an upbeat, catchy song with a sound that is reminiscent of The Beatles and The Beach Boys,” Ahlwardt said. “Mike arranged and sang lead vocals on the fifth and final song on the album, a beautiful and modern cover of Joni Mitchell’s song ‘River’ from 1971.”

The EP is streaming on digital platforms, Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon and is available on CD at RyanSongs.com. The duo can be found on social media at @ SmallTownCityMusic.

Latin jazz, Celtic rock, funky jams and more are on tap as the Center for the Performing Arts has announced MUSIC seven 2021 dates in its new livestream concert series featuring Indiana artists.

Farrell: ‘Alabama Story’ is the show we need right now Commentary by Don Farrell I truly believe the theater has the ability to change people’s hearts and minds. That is why I’m drawn to this VIEWPOINT art form because it brings together people to not only to be entertained, but touched.

Great plays and musicals stick with people long beyond those two hours in the darkened theater where priceless memories are created and experiences occur that not only heighten our understanding and enjoyment of theater, but also teach us who we have been, who we are and who we can become.

A year ago, I was part of a powerful production that I believed sparked conversations for audiences. Actors Theatre of Indiana produced the Indiana premiere of Kenneth Jones’ play “Alabama Story.” It is about a librarian who was persecuted by politicians for protecting a children’s book in the Jim Crow South.

It’s a true story about Indiana’s own Emily Wheelock Reed, who, as the Alabama state librarian in 1959, defended a book called “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” which depicts a blackfurred rabbit marrying a white-furred rabbit.

Politicians wanted to censor the story because of its themes of interracial marriage.

I enjoy speaking with theater patrons as they exit one of our shows, but it was quite different during our 2019 run of “Alabama Story.” Normally, patrons and actors would express their appreciation for each other.

Post-show conversations would be pleasant yet brief. But with “Alabama Story,” I noticed that patron after patron wanted to stay longer and share their thoughts on the play. Some, with tears in their eyes, asked if they could give an embrace after expressing

REMODELERS

personal stories about their own lives and experiences.

In the year since we presented this production, the United States has intensely dealt with issues relating to race. Whether it is the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis or a rise in hate groups gathering online, the themes of civil rights and prejudice are prevalent in 2020. This story from 1959 feels even more relevant today.

The events of 2020 have opened my eyes in a new way. I spoke with my colleagues at Actors Theatre of Indiana and we knew we wanted to do something.

So, the idea came to bring back our production of “Alabama Story.” ATI will be offering the chance to watch our recorded production in your own home using an on-demand online streaming option. The video also will include a conversation with playwright Kenneth Jones, our director Jane Unger and the cast of “Alabama Story.” The cost is $35.

More information can be found at atistage. org. It will be available to purchase through the Center for the Performing Arts box office at 317-843-3800 or by visiting our website to view in a pay-per-view format between Jan. 18, 2021 through Feb. 14, 2021.

It’s my hope that families will watch this show together, especially with their children, in order to spark discussions about civil rights. I am happy Actors Theatre of Indiana has the chance to be a small part of positive change for our community.

has an exposed brick-backed bar showcasing dozens of Taxman beers, all Belgian. The menu also is much better than your typical pub fare, and my favorite item was the fried chicken and waffle, a Miller’s Amish chicken atop braised greens and a liege waffle.

Other excellent items are the signature waffle dessert ($8), with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of house-made whipped cream and Belgian chocolate.

Blueprint for Improvement: A dream kitchen at Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE SOLUTION

After

1. The rounded end of the island — while popular in the ’80s — was replaced with an island that provides more storage, workspace and seating.

2. The existing tiled floor was in good condition; the new components and finishes were chosen to complement the flooring, which helped keep costs down.

3. The window over the sink was enlarged; the trim color remained the same to blend with the other windows in the space.

4. The kitchen gained significant storage space in the form of a wall of cabinetry with pull-out shelves.

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 home in the Windemere Pointe neighborhood was built in 1988. The 32-year-old kitchen was due for some updates!

Most verbal time of the year Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt We’re due a season of merriment. After all, we’ve all lived through the first 11 months of 2020, so, pass the eggnog, and let’s break some GRAMMAR GUY grammar rules!

There’s something about the holiday season that makes us want to “verbify” nouns. Take Volvo’s 2020 holiday ad campaign, in which we are encouraged to “Holiday safely.” The word “holiday” itself is a word created by combining “holy” and “day.” I can’t begin to explain to you how much advertising phrases like “holiday safely” are the linguistic equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me, but this is not a new phenomenon.

Let’s look at the popular holiday song, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”

Songwriting duo Eddie Pola and George Wyle (Wyle also penned the “Gilligan’s Island” theme) wrote the song for Andy Williams’ Christmas album in 1963.

I love this song, but the writers played fast and loose with some nouns that found themselves playing the roles of

verbs. For instance, “with the kids jingle belling” rhymes well with the next line “and everyone telling you ‘be of good cheer,’” but that doesn’t make “jingle belling” a verb. Later in the song, Pola and Wyle employed the same tactic when they wrote, “There’ll be much mistletoeing and hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near.” I appreciate the rhyme, but I always thought “mistletoeing” is what happened when my great uncle clipped his overgrown toenails at the kitchen table.

You know what? Since it’s the holiday season, as Andy Williams reminds us in yet another Yuletide tune, I’m going to look deeply into my heart, wish it to grow three sizes, and give this lyrical limbo technique a pass this year. If it takes a bit of verbal gymnastics to put a smile on our long faces this season, then I’m all for it.
