we had in place at Grand Park,” Willis said.

“There were a lot of handshake agreements and things not locked down contractually, so the RDC went in there and did an RFP for maintenance services at Grand Park. From that RFP, we started getting quotes back from people asking about much larger and broader contracts than the RFP, to include interested buyers and buying the park.”

Willis said because there wasn’t a dollar amount attached to the questions, he said it made Cook revisit what his vision for Grand Park was.

“They’re going back and trying to get a more formalized RFP process of selling the park altogether or contracting out the operation of Grand Park, and the city retains ownership,” Willis said.

Willis said despite what the proposals show, Cook would have to get approval from the RDC if he chooses to move forward with a proposal. The RDC is the legal owner of the park.

“I don’t think the city is set on a vision for selling Grand Park, but I think if the price is right, we would be silly not to take a look at it,” Willis said.

Willis said he assumes other council members have had similar conversations with Cook, but council member Cindy Spoljaric said the RFP came as a surprise.

“Over the years and between the old council and the mayor, there was always discussion at some point in the future there could be an entertaining of offers,” Spoljaric said. “I didn’t think we were in a position to be sending out an RFP or anything.”

Spoljaric said she and the other council members were notified of the RFP on March 2. Spoljaric’s request to view the RFP in advance of its public posting March 3 was denied.

Primary challenge for prosecutor Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney D. Lee Buckingham, 56, is facing a challenge in the May 3 Republican primary in his bid for reelection from Greg Garrison, 74, a retired attorney famous for successfully prosecuting

a rape case against boxer Mike Tyson in 1992 and hosting a talk radio show for 20 years.

Both candidates are Fishers residents who have not sought elected office outside of this position before. Buckingham became Hamilton County’s prosecuting attorney in 2011.

Education: IU Bloomington, Social Studies BS ed, 1970. IU School of Law, J.D. 1973.

Occupation: Lawyer Website: garrisonforprosecutor.com Why do you want Garrison to run for office? The prosecutor of Hamilton County must be focused at all times on the protection of the citizens. Currently, there are violent crimes within the county that are going unprosecuted. As we are seeing more and more crime coming from Marion County, the priorities of the prosecutor’s office need to change now. It starts with putting the victim first. The prosecutor should work hand in hand with law enforcement to build the case. Finally, the prosecutor should train and trust his deputy prosecutors to find the appropriate resolution, whether plea or trial, for each case.

What are your qualifications for this of-

fice? Approximately 50 years of experience in the prosecution of felonies across Indiana. I have tried high-profile death penalty murder cases as well as successfully prosecuted Mike Tyson for rape in Marion County.

I am not afraid of the hard work involved in such cases and therefore, I will not limit myself to only pursuing “perfect cases.”

What are the top 3 issues that your campaign will focus on?

1. Protecting citizens from violent crimes 2. Build a rapport with law enforcement to prepare stronger cases for prosecution 3. Train the next generation of deputy prosecutors to leave a legacy for the next generation.

Something most people don’t know about you? I spent 20 years as a radio talk show host at WIBC Indianapolis, three hours per day, five days per week. Now, I spend time with my grandchildren and avidly take care of my three horses. I have loved horses since preschool and I cannot imagine my life without them.

Emergency Rental Assistance announces year-end highlights news@currentinwestfield.com The Hamilton County Township Association recently released its 2021 annual report on the HamHOUSING ilton County Emergency Rental Assistance Program. The report outlines how the program helped stabilize the rental market during 2021. More than Heirbrandt $7.7 million was awarded in rental and utility assistance to Hamilton County residents. Specifically, $7.2 million was awarded in rental assistance and $505,701 in utility assistance, helping 1,380 unique households from being homeless due to the effects of COVID-19.

Hamilton County ERAP is included in two stimulus packages from the U.S. Dept. of Treasury. Six Indiana counties, including Hamilton County, were allocated funds in terms of grant dollars for COVID-19 relief assistance for rent and utilities, with the purpose of stemming homelessness and helping the economy.

“The median combined household income of applicants receiving assistance is $17,297.

So clearly, we are assisting county residents really struggling to make ends meet,” stated Danielle Carey Tolan, HCTA president and Westfield Washington Township trustee. “As the winter months continue to bring spikes in COVID-19 along with inclement weather and dangerous temperatures, this program is more important than ever and vital to many of our renters and landlords.”

Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said the program helps landlords as well.

“Not only is this helping our struggling residents, but it’s also helping our landlords, who have invested in our county, get paid the money they are owed,” Heirbrandt stated. “This program served 97 veteran

households and 337 households with disabilities. It also helped households where the primary worker needed to be at home to care for children out of school, or family members ill with COVID. Forty-three percent of applications were in these three categories so we had a real need. Taking advantage of federal funding to help our residents is something we should all be Carey Tolan proud of.”

Carey Tolan said there has been some concern among residents that programs like ERAP contribute to the labor shortage.

“We know businesses are hurting, and in an economy operating at full employment a top priority is for us to keep a roof over someone’s head so they can stay in our community and retain or identify employment,” Carey Tolan said. “Evidence shows that when that housing stability falters the ability to effectively work or participate in education or training goes with it.”

Fifty-seven percent of the households served by ERAP had at least one resident working.

Out of the 3,618 total applications received in 2021, 511 were denied assistance because of either fraud or not meeting eligibility. To be eligible for financial assistance from HC ERAP, applicants must be a renter in Hamilton County, at least one adult in the household must have experienced a loss of income due to COVID-19 and household income is at or below 80 percent of the area’s median income.

The online application can be found at HCTAIndiana.com. A call center, 317-6183125, is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to assist renters and landlords. The website also provides a list of local partners, throughout the county, available to help residents with the application process.

“The median combined household income of applicants receiving assistance is $17,297.

So clearly, we are assisting county residents really struggling to make ends meet.”

Junior sparks University High School’s basketball success

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com University High School junior guard Payton Seay’s improvement has been on a steady climb.

Seay, a Noblesville resident, averaged 15 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game for the Trailblazers (23-5), who reached the Class 2A semistate before losing to eventual state champion Forest Park. It was the second consecutive season the Trailblazers reached the semistate.

“Payton has been a vital part of our program for the past three seasons,” University coach Justin Blanding said. “She continues to improve every year. Her development over the past three seasons has been a tribute to her hard work. After every season, I challenge her to improve multiple areas of her game and she comes back better. She has been, and will continue to be, one of the most important pieces to our program.”

Seay said she has improved in multiple areas.

“I really worked on getting my shot bet-

season. Once our starting five get going, it’s really hard to stop us.”

Seay will be one of four starters returning, including junior Kelsey DuBois, also from Noblesville. Seay’s sister, Taylor, a freshman, will return as well.

“She was our seventh man,” Seay said.

“She really brought a lot of energy on defense.”

Seay said her decision to attend University was mainly for academics. Academics were also part of DuBois’ decision to attend University. DuBois averaged 12.8 points and 7.7 rebounds during the season..

The two had played together growing up. The two also grew up playing with Noblesville High School junior Ashlynn Shade, a University of Connecticut commit who helped lead the Millers to a Class 4A state title Feb. 26.

“Getting that work in with other elite players like them benefited me to be as good as I am today,” Seay said.

Seay attended Noblesville West Middle School, playing with DuBois and Shade.

“We went 36-0 through our two years there,” Seay said. “That’s where I really found what kind of player I am. Those two years really helped me with my confidence.”

Seay, who wants to play college basketball, plans to major in sports medicine or something in a STEM field because she enjoys math.

Parents, city councilor advocate for advisory council on disabilities

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com As a parent of a child with special needs, Westfield resident Joanne Tedesco felt the city could provide more resources for families in similar situations. That’s why she reached out to Westfield City Council member Scott Willis, seeking his help in establishing an advisory council on disabilities for the City of Westfield.

She also sought the help of Tasha Cleaver, a Fishers resident who worked with Carter’s Play Place and saw the benefits of positive impact of the City of Fishers’ Advisory Committee on Disability, which was established several years ago.

“I was working at Carter’s Play Place, which is a play place for all kids, and felt that Westfield could use some help with its growing population for an organization similar to the Fishers Advisory (Committee),” Cleaver said. “I was connected with (Fishers City Council member) Cecilia Coble, and she helped us connect with Scott.”

Willis is sponsoring an ordinance that would establish the advisory council. The Westfield City Council is expected to vote on the proposal at its March 14 meeting.

If approved, the advisory council would represent the needs and interests of people with disabilities in Westfield and provide a platform for the disabled community to raise awareness for challenges and issues in Westfield. The advisory council also would partner with Westfield in establishing priorities and strategies to address the various challenges people with disabilities in the community face and provide input on the development and assessment of future city projects and services that impact people with disabilities.

“I have a child with a disability but that pales in comparison with what many people in Westfield struggle with,” Willis said.

“They brought to me what they thought the issues were, and I was overwhelmed with where to begin and how to get it off the ground. I walked away passionate about the cause.”

Willis said Fishers’ advisory committee on disabilities is the blueprint for what Westfield’s could be.

“They’re light-years ahead of us,” he said.

“This is kind of becoming a countywide ini-

tiative, and all the cities are lining up to get on board. We hope through partnerships it can become a county program with municipalities taking the ball and running with it.”

Willis said if the advisory council is approved, it will immediately form a committee and shape its goals. It would consist of the city’s ADA coordinator, two community members appointed by the mayor, two community members appointed by the Westfield City Council, one Westfield City Council member, the Westfield Washington Schools’ director of student services and a member of the city’s human resources department.

“We fully expect to crawl before we run,” Willis said. “We want to define our mission and how we function as a committee. We can’t do it all at once. Fishers has had their program for six or seven years. It has evolved into an amazing program. We aren’t ready for that yet. We have to at least put some shape to it.”

Willis wants to create a more accessible city. Although Westfield is ADA compliant, people with disabilities still face challenges, such as crossing Ind. 32 in a wheelchair.

“Some of the crosswalks aren’t appropriate,” Willis said. “There are many infrastructure projects the city deals with and we are ADA compliant, but being ADA complaint and understanding what that really means for people with disabilities are oftentimes two different things.”

Willis wants the committee to be a voice to guide infrastructure and increase job opportunities for people with disabilities.

“Many people in the disability community are sitting on the sidelines because they can’t get into the workforce,” Willis said.

Lack of transportation and appropriate training are often job hurdles for people with disabilities.

March is Disability Awareness Month.

Fishers resident and Carter’s Play Place employee Tasha Cleaver has a child on the autism spectrum. She said it can be overwhelming without support.

“You have to have a place to turn to, not only for resources but to find connections,” Cleaver said.

Cleaver said if the Westfield City Council votes to establish an advisory council on disabilities, she is confident it will help combat feelings of isolation within the disability community.

“We want to help friends find friends and families stay families,” Cleaver said.

Westfield resident Joanne Tedesco also is the parent of a child with a disability and supports a council.

“A disability is not a cause and it’s not a charity, it’s a human condition,” Tedesco said. “It runs from birth to death. Anyone can become disabled as they mature. This (advisory council) could bring to light some really great opportunities and partnerships that can happen down the road.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Moral choices

Money can’t buy happiness?

Commentary by Terry Anker Considering it his more important work, Scottish philosopher Adam Smith penned “The Theory of Moral Sentiments” in 1759, some 17 years before authoring the often cited and more often misunderstood “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.” Although the flourish of his style is antiquated, his insight remains keen.

In expressing a singular characteristic of humans, he points to a story where the earth opened by earthquake and all the inhabitants of China were consumed. Naturally, good folk decried the calamity. Some sent well wishes, coins or prayers. Others lamented the human condition and imagined the causes behind their misfortune.

But few, if any, dug in the rubble.

Smith went on to point out, “And when all this fine philosophy was over, when all these humane sentiments had been once fairly expressed, he would pursue his business or his pleasure, take his repose or his diversion, with the same ease and tranquility, as if no such accident had happened.” But if the person he suggests were to lose a finger, he would likely find his life disrupted by pain and insomnia. Wouldn’t we all? In fact, few would sacrifice our own digit to have prevented the catastrophe to the Chinese. Would we feel the personal obligation?

Yet, this icon of capitalism Smith goes on to extol the hidden virtue of humans in his query, “When we are always so much more deeply affected by whatever concerns ourselves, than by whatever concerns other men; what is it which prompts the generous, upon all occasions, and the mean upon many, to sacrifice their own interests to the greater interests of others?” Even as the Russian bear mauls the children of Ukraine, what is our sacrifice? If self-interest propels the world of commerce, does sympathy drive our moral one?

I’m conflicted, friends. My need for alone time is currently duking it out with my frugal nature, and I’m not sure which side will emerge victorious.

Here’s the skinny: My husband, Doo, has had a boys ski trip on the books for awhile, which means I’ve also had plans. Specifically, a beautiful, lazy weekend of single living, with no demands, no sleep interruptions and no empty milk cartons left inexplicably on the kitchen counter right above the actual trash can. I’ve been looking forward to this for months.

All began well. Doo left the house early for his flight, and though he woke me in the process, I easily fell back to sleep dreaming of the quiet morning that lie ahead. I eventually got up, made coffee and began an intriguing expert-level sudoku puzzle. Alas, those would be the only precious moments I’d enjoy. Doo called to say he’d been bumped and was heading home, but that he’d been compensated almost $1,000. So, just as my heart sank into disappointment, my forever-concerned-with-money brain was like, “Yeah, baby! Make it rain!”

Hence, my internal conflict. I really wanted some space. I love Doo, but as most of you with longtime partners know, periodic separations are tremendously important. And now, he’s sitting across from me on the couch talking loudly amid the various detritus of his life. On the other hand, his ski trip was expensive, and with his new travel vouchers, we’ll be able to cover the cost of an already-committed-to family wedding this summer.

So, yeah, I’m conflicted. A surprise temporary perdition versus an unexpected cash boon. Might be a draw.

Peace out.

Healthcare Innovations

Healthcare and coverage for $300/month

By Christopher Habig

T

hink outside the box. The average American family of 4 pays over $20,000/year for a family. While an employer covers almost $12,000 of that, it is still egregious.

While billed as a saving grace, the high deductible health plan (HDHP) is usually the worst plan for major medical needs. The majority of Americans don’t have enough savings to meet the deductible. Why even have insurance in the first place?

The pandemic revealed expensive, traditional health insurance no longer guarantees access to high-quality medical care. It’s unaccept-

able (on this side of the Canadian border) to wait 3 weeks for a doctor’s appointment when you’re sick.

There’s a better solution and by bypassing insurance completely, you can reassemble the components to create better value: 1. For $100/month, subscribe to a FreedomDoc direct care practice, get care on demand from a personal physician.

2. For $150/month, get catastrophic healthshare coverage with a $1,000 IUA (similar to a deductible) to guard against major medical expenses.

3. For $50/month, add memberships to a direct pay dentist (including 2 annual cleanings) and an optometrist (includes annual vision exam) Total bill: $300.00.

Simple, straightforward, transparent, and affordable.

Naturally, this won’t be the best fit for every American – but neither is Netflix. The idea is to provide attractive, high SM

value options that allow people to decide what’s best for themselves.

It is no secret that health insurance doesn’t equal healthcare. Healthcare is cheaper when insurance isn’t involved.

Doctors prefer it and it is so much easier to pay with dollars, not a health plan. Healthcare is affordable again if you’re willing to embrace innovation outside the traditional insurance box.

Carmel Realtor featured in ‘House Hunters’ episode

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Realtor Dan O’Brien is a longtime fan of “House Hunters.”

O’Brien, who works in TELEVISION the Trueblood Real Estate office in Carmel, is one of the four founding brokers of the company, whose first office was in Fishers.

“My clients and I had mutual friends that were on (‘House Hunters’) about a decade ago, and while we were looking for their house, we said that it would be fun to apply, so we went through the casting process and got on the show,” O’Brien said.

The Westfield resident enjoyed the experience but said some of the days were really long.

“It was great to work with the ‘House Hunters’ team and experience the magic of making TV, but at the end of each day of filming, I was exhausted,” he said.

The episode was filmed in September 2021 and aired Feb. 10.

Dan O’Brien is filmed for an episode of “House Hunters.” (Photo courtesy of Dan O’Brien)

“We did a few days of filming to make the 30-minute show, which I think is only 22 minutes of content,” he said. “The three (Indianapolis) houses featured on the show were in Garfield Park, Fountain Square and SoBro (South Broad Ripple).”

“House Hunters” debuted in 1999 “I’ve watched ‘House Hunters’ for years and always thought it would be awesome to be on the show, so it was a bit surreal to watch the episode when it aired on HGTV,” O’Brien said.

DISPATCHES Finding at-home jobs — For job seekers wanting to work from home, the internet is full of scams. There are so many spam postings that it’s tiring to sort through them for legitimate opportunities. Two websites do a pretty good job of screening their postings.

Flexjobs.com does charge a small fee, about $50 per year to access its database of listings. RatRaceRebellion.com is free to but is fairly legitimate.

Source: BottomLineInc.com Look for dividend-paying stocks — Dividend-paying stocks tend to hold up better than the overall market during volatile times and economic slowdowns. But many largecap, blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains the past year, so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better defensive strategy is to invest in dividend-paying medium-sized companies — those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10 billion. Their businesses are mature enough to pay reliable dividends but still have the ability to grow much faster than large companies. Also, their stocks are bigger bargains. To find attractive dividend-paying,

mid-cap stocks, look for companies with steady recurring revenues, little or no debt, leading market positions in their niches and strong enough cash flow to increase dividends at least 10 percent annually for the next five years.

A.J. Croce pays tribute to his father’s legacy with ‘Croce Plays Croce’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A.J. Croce wasn’t quite 2 years old when his father, singer/songwriter Jim Croce, died in a 1973 plane crash.

CONCERTS For several years, the younger Croce stuck to playing his own music and songs he loved.

He toured with B.B. King and Ray Charles before he was 21.

But in recent years, he has embraced his father’s legacy.

“The concert is about connections between my father’s music, my music and the music that influenced both of us,” Croce said. “It’s really about the connection we all have to our parents, to our children, to the ones we love, to our friends.

That being said, It’s a really energetic show.”

“Croce Plays Croce” is set for two performances at 5 and 8 p.m. March 19 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Both shows are nearly sold out.

Some of his father’s biggest hits include “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” “Operator (That’s the Not the Way it Feels),” “I Got a Name” and “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim.” Croce said he has several favorites, but “Time in a Bottle” is personal because his father wrote the song when he learned his wife, Ingrid, was pregnant with A.J. “We play the big hits, but it changes from night to night,” Croce said. “My father’s catalog is really three albums. I’ve had 30 years of recording to switch in and out of the show as well as thousands of songs we have in common.”

Croce, 50, said he began playing his father’s songs in concert five years ago.

“I got to the place where I had a bunch of chart success with 15 or 16 songs,” Croce said. “I played with all my heroes and done these different things and I feel like I had some integrity. I had offers to play my father’s music since I was 16, but it was not an inspiring thing for me.”

Croce said about 20 years ago he was

transferring much of his father’s home recordings to digital.

“At that time, I found a tape that had all these covers. Obviously, he didn’t get to play his own music when he was playing little clubs around Philly,” Croce said. “This particular tape had 12 or 13 songs. About 10 of them were songs that I had been playing since I was a kid. They were obscure jazz and blues artists and some country stuff. But not only was it the artists we had in common, but the actual songs.”

Croce said the tapes included a Fats Waller song, “You’re Not the Only Oyster in the Stew,” which he also had on his first Columbia Records demo.

There were deep cuts by Mississippi John Hurt, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and Bessie Smith.

“I’m a piano player, first and foremost.

Around this time I had been gifted a guitar by my mother that was one he gave to her and he had written his first two albums on,” Croce said. “I felt an obligation to

learn the instrument. It’s special to me and it’s also an amazing ‘30s Gibson.”

On what would have been his father’s 70th birthday in 2013, Croce said the family had a party to celebrate.

“I played a bunch of his songs, a few of mine and songs from that tape,” Croce said. “That was the catalyst for how ‘Croce Plays Croce’ began. I didn’t play another show like that for five years. Once I realized I’m not doing an impersonation of my father, this is a tribute to his music and his legacy, it’s something that I felt not just happy to do but I felt sort of an obligation of sorts to share his music.

“It’s not something I do every night, but when I do, it’s really enjoyable. I see how it affects the people in the audience.”

Croce has a setlist for the band but does deviate from it for each concert.

“The more into it the audience is, the more I can curate the set,” he said.

Sphinx Virtuosi to feature cellist

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Andrea Casarrubios’ “Seven” is striking a chord with concert audiences.

The Sphinx Virtuosi conCONCERT cert program features a cello solo performance by Cuban American cellist Thomas Mesa of “Seven.”

The piece was commissioned by Mesa.

Casarrubios made it a tribute to essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to those who died or are still suffering from the crisis.

Sphinx Virtuosi, a professional chamber orchestra comprised of 18 of the nation’s top Black and Latinx classical soloists, will perform at 8 p.m. March 19 at The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The piece is one of three Mesa commissioned to three different composers.

“It was about their experience during the pandemic. I gave them free rein to what they wanted to do,” Mesa said. “Each wrote something fairly different. The title ‘Seven’ comes from the time that people would go to the windows and clap for the essential workers.

It has been an absolute hit. There are cellists all over the country playing this piece due to her music is so incredible. People are really taking to it. Andrea is a cellist herself. It’s a very touching and emotional piece.”

The piece ends with seven bell-like sounds, alluding to New York City’s daily tribute during the lockdown.

“Carlos Simon’s piece was tied into not just the situation with the pandemic but the situation with all of the social issues, with the Black Lives Matter protests,” Mesa said.

Mesa said Stephanie Ann Boyd’s piece is similar to Casarrubios in that it was inspired by Boyd’s experiences during the lockdown in New York City. Mesa plans to debut the other two pieces in May. Mesa has been a member of Sphinx Virtuosi since 2016 after being the first-place winner in the renowned Sphinx Competition.

“Ever since then, I’ve had a lot of good solo opportunities with them,” he said. “My relationship with Sphinx is wonderful. We’re kind of like a family.”

Mesa has curated a concert program that will be performed by the Indianapolis Symphony on March 26. He will be the soloist.

Series features more duos, trios

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Concerts for a Cause co-founder Bruce Kidd figures the 2022 lineup is the series’ best as it enters its FUNDRAISER sixth year.

“We have the best group of local and national artists we have had to date,” Kidd said. “We specifically wanted to have more duos and trios this year since we have mainly had solo acts in the past. It will create different and cool concert experiences for our guests with two or more voices and lots of harmonies.

“All of our artists are supremely talented, but most of them have not had songs on commercial radio stations around the U.S.” The Carmel resident said he wants to attract new people to the concerts. The proceeds benefit a nonprofit, “I like storytellers, solo or band, where you can understand the lyrics when they play live and the songs move you in some way,” Kidd said. “Those are the kinds of artists, both local and national, we have this year.”

CSO’s 2022-23 season to provide diverse mix

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s 202223 season will feature a rousing tribute to the Queen of Soul, the best CONCERTS of the master of the movie score and a fiery Latin celebration, among other special concerts.

The CSO announced its 47th season March 14 featuring a diverse mix of classical and pops performances.

After three seasons interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director Janna Hymes said she is confident of being able to present a full season for musicians and audiences.

“Every season, I like to program a mix of repertoire and guest artists for our Carmel audience,” she said. “Our 2022-23 season is packed with all genres of music and exciting programs. Audiences of all ages and backgrounds will enjoy what we are offering. Programming with optimism and a renewed sense of hope has been incredibly rewarding. I hope our community likes the overall makeup of the season and will come hear their amazing orchestra.”

The majority of the CSO’s concerts are performed at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. But there will be a 7 p.m. concert July 3 at Daniel’s Vineyard in McCordsville and an 8 p.m. July 4 show at CarmelFest’s Gazebo Stage.

An education program exclusive to students from area schools will be presented on Sept. 27, when the CSO performs “Beethoven Lives Upstairs: A Classical Kids Live!” at the Palladium The orchestra’s 2022-23 season includes: • Masterworks 1: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Palladium. Guest artists: Brazilian pianist, vocalist and composer Clarice Assad along with central Indiana favorites, Pavel & Direct Contact • Masterworks 2: 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12 at the Palladium. Guest artist: violinist Alexi Kenney.

• CSO Holiday Pops: 3 and 7 p.m. Dec. 4, 2022, at the Palladium. Guest artists: vocalists Josh Kaufman, Leah Crane and additional performers.

interactive introduction for children to some of the world’s greatest orchestral classics • Masterworks 3: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 11, 2023, at the Palladium. Guest artists: Harlem Quartet • Masterworks 4: 7:30 p.m. March 11, 2023; 3 p.m. March 12, 2023, at the Palladium. “The Best of John Williams — a Tribute Concert” Music performed by the CSO will be accompanied by clips from multiple films scored by John Williams.

• Masterworks 5: 7:30 p.m. April 22, 2023, at the Palladium. Guest artist: cellist Sterling Elliott • CSO Pops Concert: 7:30 p.m. May 6, 2023, at the Palladium. Aretha: A Tribute with guest artist Capathia Jenkins.

“We decided to program the (John Williams) concert as a Masterworks because the music is quite difficult and we wanted to put in the time for preparation as we always do for these programs,” Hymes said. “Because of the nature of this music and the fact we will be projecting film clips, we decided to add a concert for families and others who may prefer an afternoon concert.”

Hymes looks forward to the season.

“Without a doubt, it’s the most diverse, ambitious season we’ve ever brought to the Palladium,” she said.

Tickets for the upcoming season will be available soon at CarmelSymphony.org, and at the Palladium Fifth Third Bank Box Office, 317-843-3800. The 2022-23 season is supported by the City of Carmel, the Center for the Performing Arts, the Palladium and Pedcor.

Commentary by Jeffrey C. McDermott Mother’s Day, May 8, will be extra special this year for more than 1,500 patrons who will join us at the PalladiVIEWPOINT um to see 17-time Grammy-winner Sting and his band. The Center for the Performing Arts is proud to attract high-caliber performers like Sting, John Legend, Steve Martin and Martin Short, Harry Connick Jr., Ben Folds, Sheryl Crow, Tony Bennett and many more.

Many have wondered (and bemoaned) how tickets for this concert sold so quickly.

The short answer is huge demand, as this rock icon typically plays much larger venues. His current tour includes the 12,000seat Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Mich., and six shows at the 2,300-seat London Palladium — the other Palladium, as we call it.

Sting’s concert at our Palladium, one of the smallest rooms on the tour, will be uniquely intimate. Had he been available for 10 shows here, we might have sold out 10 times.

Some have wondered about third-party ticket brokers grabbing up blocks of seats.

Although ticket reselling is legal in Indiana, we did take steps to limit that practice.

A panoramic view of Fes, Morocco. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A visit to historic Fes, Morocco Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in the last column for now about where to go during Indiana winters, we visit Fes (or Fez), Morocco, where TRAVEL the average high temperature in March is about 68 degrees.

In A.D. 789, Idris I, progenitor of the Idrisid Dyasty, established Fes el Bali (Old Fes) and made it the capital of an Islamic empire controlling most of what is now Morocco and a portion of western Algeria. In 859, the Idrisids founded in Fes el Bali what is now the University of Al-Karaouine, the world’s oldest continuously operating institution of higher education. Al-Karaouine helped establish Fes el Bali as an international center of Islamic learning and culture. By the 12th century, Fes el Bali, with about 200,000 residents, was the largest city in the world. In 1244, the Marinids gained control of the area and established nearby Fes el Jdid (New Fes), where they erected a palace.

When the French gained control of Morocco in 1912, they intentionally preserved the walled cities of Fes el Bali and Fes el Jdid as “medinas” as they existed at the time and built a gate at their entrance. As a result, for current residents of the medinas, life is not much different from what it was hundreds of years ago, although electricity makes some tasks easier. Merchants in small shops along narrow streets still sell everything from fresh camel meat on hooks to fruit and fish stacked high on tables to pottery and clothing made by hand.

Major construction projects are changing the face of Morocco. The medinas of Fes el Bali and Fes el Jdid, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are protected from the rush of the 21st century and provide the closest approximation we have to a time machine to

A street in Fes el Bali, Morocco.

We need seasonal drivers to operate our Isuzu small delivery trucks during our busy spring days to deliver mulch, soil, and aggregates.

Delivery / Truck operation experience preferred but not necessary and training provided. No CDL required, but applicants must be able to pass a CDL physical exam. This job is full-time through the spring months with the option to stay on board with us later into the year.
