Braden Smith named Mr. Basketball

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As an undersized freshman, Braden Smith didn’t appear to have the potential to be a future Indiana Mr. ACHIEVEMENT Basketball.

But the Westfield High School senior made the transformation.

“It’s unbelievable that someone like me can win something like that, coming from being 5-foot-7 and 130 (pounds) my freshman year,” Smith said. “I’ve come a long way to where I am now.”

Smith was announced April 2 as the winner of the voting of media and coaches.

As Mr. Basketball, the 6-foot senior guard also became the first Indiana Boys All-Star from WHS. Smith finished with 128 Mr. Basketball votes, topping Homestead senior Fletcher Loyer, who had 109 votes. Smith and Loyer will play for Purdue University next season.

“I was nervous but I felt like I deserved to be up there,” Smith said. “I felt like I completed a lot of things that are needed to win an award like that.”

Smith said making the Indiana All-Stars has always been a goal.

“Not a lot of people can make the Indiana All-Star team, not only that but win Mr. Basketball, just being able to have that opportunity is unbelievable,” Smith said.

Smith had already left for Orlando for spring break when the announcement was set to be made by the Indianapolis Star.

Westfield High School coach Shane Sumpter was going fly to Tampa for spring break but moved his flight a day earlier to Orlando to surprise Smith with the news April 1.

“It was deserved, obviously,” Sumpter said. “I haven’t stopped smiling for four or five days.”

Smith had surgery on his left foot after the season and is unlikely to play in the June 10-11 All-Star games against Kentucky.

But whether he plays or not, Smith said he will be there for the All-Star games and activities.

Smith injured his foot Jan. 21, missed several games but returned to play in two games late in the season and in the sectional and regional. He averaged 24 points and eight assists while leading Westfield to its first sectional title in school history. He made 28 of 40 shots, including 13 of 21 from 3-point range, in the three victories in the Class 4A sectional.

Smith averaged 18.3 points, six assists and six rebounds per game for the Shamrocks (22-7), who lost in the regional final to Kokomo Smith averaged 17.9 points for his fouryear varsity career, finishing as the Shamrocks’ all-time leader with 1,629 points and 453 assists.

Westfield council considers establishing historic preservation commission

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Several Westfield residents spoke against the proposal of a local historic preservation commission during the GOVERNMENT March 28 Westfield City Council meeting.

Indiana Landmarks Association Vice President of Preservation Services Mark Dollase presented the proposal, calling it an avenue to protect historic buildings or districts in the future.

“State Road 32 is going through a community road-widening project, and it is going to have what is called an adverse effect as designed on the south side of State Road 32, particularly as it goes through the downtown historic district,” Dollase said.

The downtown historic district is on the National Register of Historic Places. Although the register doesn’t provide protection from construction projects, a section

in the document states any time federal or state funds are involved in projects affecting a place on the register, a review must be completed on how the project affects historic resources.

“Four buildings on the south side of State Road 32 are going to be adversely impacted by the project, so as a result, the city and (the Indiana Dept. of Transportation) and the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources came up with a document called a memorandum of agreement between them that they have heard from the public about the concerns and loss of historic buildings,” Dollase said.

“They made the decision for the project to move forward but develop these mitigations that would lessen the effect of the impact on the overall historic district.”

If approved, the commission would look at future designs of structures in the historic district to preserve a low-scale design appearance. It also would examine other areas or properties within the community

with historic significance that should be recognized and protected. The commission reviews projects under construction “These areas are ever-evolving, ever-changing. and it’s nice to have a process around them to protect the things that have real value,” Dollase said.

Many residents, however, voiced concern that a historic commission might result in government overreach. The commission could define historic districts, receive funds to purchase or hold real and personal property and have power to sell, lease or rent those properties. Residents’ concerns included what would be the funding source for the commission and how much power it would have to approve or decline aesthetic changes to homes within the historic district.

The council was scheduled to vote on the ordinance at its April 11 meeting. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

Prayer breakfast returns after hiatus

By Jillian Kurtz news@currentinwestfield.com OnSite International, Inc., a local Christian-based prayer organization, is hosting its third Westfield Community EVENT Prayer Breakfast April 20.

After a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic, OnSite International founders Rob and Ruth Griepentrog expect a large turnout.

“In the past, we’ve had about 175 people attend,” Rob said. “We’d really love Griepentrog to see 300 to 400, or even more. Our heart is to encourage the schools and the community.”

The breakfast event will be from 6:30 to 7:45 a.m. at the IMMI Conference Center, 18880 N. East St. Admission is free, but RSVPs are required. Breakfast is provided by the event’s sponors.

Rob Griepentrog, 47, is the executive director of OnSite International, Inc., founded in 2011.

“We have five areas that we will be praying for: our educators, the administration, our students, families here in Westfield and supporting staff such as bus drivers,” Rob said. “In those sessions, if people are comfortable doing so, we will have people pray around folks that are in those categories.”

The event is “designed to bring increased unity and encouragement to those in our schools and throughout the Westfield community,” according to OnSite International’s website. Westfield High School’s varsity football coach and Dean of Wellness Jake Gilbert will be the keynote speaker.

“I’ve even had teachers follow up with me a week or two later saying they’re still riding that wave of encouragement that long after the event,” Rob Griepentrog said.

“We want many people in the community to experience that.”

Carmel guard Clarke earns All-Star spot despite short season

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School senior basketball player Kate Clarke made the best of a shortened senior season.

Clarke suffered a back injury at the end of last summer and began the rehabbing process. She returned to play in 13 games, averaging 11.7 points on 50 percent shooting from the field. The 6-foot-1 guard scored 18 points or more in six of her last seven games for Carmel (15-8).

“Kate came back and found herself fitting into our offense and the flow of the game very effectively,” Greyhounds coach Erin Trimpe said. “She has a natural skill set that puts her in a good position to make a difference in the game. She gave herself some time and with limited minutes (and found) her comfort and groove to finish out the season.”

Clarke said it was a struggle to get back in playing form.

“With all the girls surrounding me, it was easy to get back on the court,” Clarke said. “By the end, I was able to get back in the groove and we just came up short in

Clarke, who will play for the University of Michigan in the 2022-23 season, was named to the Indiana Girls All-Star team, which will play against Kentucky June 10-11.

really good career at Carmel,” Clarke said. “I was lucky to finish it out. It’s hard sitting out, but it was fun to see all the girls I’ve been playing with come together without the missing puzzle piece. It was nice to see

them mature over the season.”

Clarke averaged 18.1 points as a junior and 16.9 points as a sophomore.

“Kate is a phenomenal shooter on the offensive end,” Trimpe said. “She shot 37 percent from 3-point (range) throughout her career and became the seventh Greyhound to score 1,000 points. Kate spends a lot of time in the gym working on her individual skills and working to improve her game.”

Clarke said she is training and staying in shape to get ready for the All-Star games and then Michigan.

“During the season, I was thinking about getting my back healthy and to be careful,” Clarke said. “Ultimately, my goal is to get to Michigan healthy.”

Clarke will be joined by Westfield senior and fellow Michigan recruit Alyssa Crockett on the Indiana Girls All-Stars.

“Michigan has kind of a home feel,” Clarke said. “I kind of sensed that when I got there for my official and unofficial visit. It’s important for me to stay closer to home so my mom can go to games. The girls are great, that’s the main thing that attracted me to Michigan. It’s obviously a great school, so I couldn’t pass that opportunity up.”

Today, cybersecurity is more important than ever.

Cybersecurity crimTECHNOLOGY inals are increasingly active, and the risk of your business being compromised by a malicious attack is quite high. Bad actors will typically gain access to your network using a few basic techniques. Let’s look at the most common security attacks.

PHISHING Phishing attacks can vary, but they almost always involve one’s email inbox.

These phishing emails contain malicious attachments or links that typically trigger the download of a script that assists hackers in gaining access to your environment.

It can cause security breaches in your network, which can be easily exploited by malicious actors when they use it to steal valuable information such as employee’s personal information, customer’s information, credit card information, etc.

Do not download attachments or follow links from someone you don’t know or from whom you aren’t expecting anything.

STOLEN CREDENTIALS Many applications and services require authentication through the submission of a pair of credentials. The most common form is an email address and password.

How can one avoid having their credentials stolen? One important way to protect credentials is to never use your work credentials or work email to log in to any nonwork-related services. Also, try not to use similar or exact passwords elsewhere.

WEBSITE SPOOFING Website Spoofing is the act of creating a fake website or URL address that strongly resembles a real website. This fake website can be used to capture financial information, steal credentials, or simply infect your computer with malware. Fake websites are especially dangerous because scammers excel at making their fake websites look exactly like the websites you trust and visit every day.

We hope that this information can help you and your organization be more secure! If you are considering outsourcing your cybersecurity or would like to understand more how that works, Swan Software Solutions in Carmel can help.

Wine, Wags and Whiskers returns

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As the second-largest fundraiser for the Humane Society for Hamilton County, Megan Davis has high hopes for FUNDRAISER Wine, Wags & Whiskers.

Davis, director of training and communications for the Fishers-based nonprofit, said the fundraising goal is $100,000.

The 14th annual fundraiser will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. May 5 at the Embassy Suites in Noblesville. The 2020 event was canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Last year, Wine, Wags & Whiskers was an in-person event with record attendance (of 550),” Davis said of the July event at Embassy Suites. “We hope to set another record this year.”

This year, the bourbon pull, silent auction and tastings from Four Day Ray and Tito’s Handmade Vodka will return. There will be wine tastings from Vine & Table. Davis said new this year is Mexican- and American-themed hors d’oeuvres, because the event falls on Cinco de Mayo, along with additional liquor tastings from Brown-Forman.

UNLOCK THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME

The event also is tagged as Cinco de Meow because it falls on May 5. “Meowmaritas” will be served with Tito’s vodka.

There also will be “bundtinis” from Nothing Bundt Cakes, adoptable pets and coffee from Noble Coffee.

The silent auction features jewelry from Hupp Jewelers in Fishers and a pet photography package from Furtography Studio.

There also will be a raffle.

The largest fundraiser is Tinsel & Tails, set for Nov. 17 at 502 East Event Centre in Carmel.

2 Democrats run for 5th District Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Two Democrats are vying to represent Indiana’s 5th District in Congress and will face off in the May 3 primary election. The winner will challenge incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz in November. Read the full Q&As at youarecurrent.com.

JEANNINE LEE LAKE Age: 52 Education: Bachelor’s degree in journalism from Ball State University and ABT (all but thesis) completed toward a master’s degree in journalism.

Occupation: Journalist Lake of 30-plus years.

City: Muncie Immediate family: I am recently single after a 25-plus year marriage. I have four adult children and three grandchildren.

Website: Jeannineleelakeforcongress.com Why do you want to run for office? I am a great leader and will be an effective U.S. congresswoman! I love serving people and

enjoy finding solutions.

What are your qualifications for this office? I’m an American patriot who loves her country. I will do whatever I can to fight for every American so that we all have equal opportunities and protection under the banner of the Constitution.

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

1) Helping address issues related to the pandemic and finding solutions for those problems. Particularly, economic concerns for small business owners like myself.

2) Healthcare disparities, from high prescription costs to lack of access to affordable healthcare.

3) Reviewing and creating common-sense legislation that targets Red Flag laws and national networking system, but doing so in a way that it does not violate laws that truly respect the Constitutional rights of Hoosier gun-owners.

What sets you apart from other candidates for this office? I’m a fighter who stays in the game because I have “skin in the game.” Some people have little to lose if our Continued on Page 15

Continued from Page 14 nation goes the way that Spartz envisions, whether that’s her acceptance of QAnon conspiracy theories to denying the existence of the January 6 insurrection on our most precious U.S. Capitol. I envision an America that is bright and optimistic and that nation is staunchly built on truth and reality.

Something you want people to know about you? I’m a fiscally conservative, socially liberal Christian Democrat. One supporter told me I’m for “God, guns, gays and grandkids!” I liked that!

I feel that congressional representatives too often forget to represent regular folks in Washington D.C. What are your qualifications for this office? 28 years of military service and leadership. I have set up nonprofits and programs that are designed to serve others.

What are the top three issues that your campaign will focus on? Mental and behavioral health — It’s the foundation to almost all issues. Crime reduction, financial health, career improvement, etc. Economy and infrastructure — making your dollar worth more and ensuring that you can move safely and effectively around the country. And Main Street America — supporting small businesses, police and fire departments and people.

What sets you apart from other candidates for this office? My life has been about service for others. I have zero designs on improving my financial means. I didn’t join the military or start nonprofits to make money. I truly aspire to help as many people as I can.

Something you want people to know about you? I’m a regular guy. No frills. People are tired of divisive politics and ready for us to take on tough issues.

2 vie to be new court’s judge

mittees set up during my career to improve the administration of justice and serving as judge pro tem when requested by the current elected judges.

Website: DarrenMurphyForJudge.com.

Why do you want to run for office? My ultimate career goal has always been to become a judge. The new Hamilton Superior Court 7 will be assigned to the courtroom where I currently preside and already have well-established relationships. It feels like the most natural possible progression to an elected judicial position.

What are your qualifications for this office? As magistrate judge, I currently handle every case type which will be assigned to Superior Court 7. There is nothing that will be assigned to the new court that I haven’t already handled as magistrate judge, in the same courtroom, with the same staff. I am the only candidate that has the requisite judicial training and acquired experience, which will allow me to have the new court up and running on day one.

What sets you apart from other candidates for this office? I am the only candidate with judicial experience. At the time the new Superior Court 7 becomes operational, I will have a five-year history of running the very courtroom where it will be assigned and with the same staff. I am also the only candidate that has been endorsed by the county’s law enforcement fraternal order of police.

I have run the day-to-day operations of a small business, including budgeting and human resources, while running a busy law practice.

Westfield girls hockey players share passion for sport in national TV spot

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Girls hockey players from Westfield got to share their love of the sport on national television.

An Indianapolis production company contacted program director and Indy Junior Fuel’s 19U head coach Kris May, who then chose the girls who she wanted to participate in the national promotion spot that ran during the Winter Olympics.

Six girls from Westfield on the Indiana Youth Hockey Association’s Junior Fuel teams were featured in the promotion, which showed why girls are attracted to hockey.

The U.S. women’s hockey team earned a silver medal at the Olympics in Beijing in February.

The girls featured included two sets of sisters: Evelyn and Clara Kurek and Lily and Rose Henderson. Evelyn is a Westfield Intermediate sixth-grader and Clara is a Westfield High School sophomore. Lily is a Westfield Middle School eighth-grader and Rose is a Westfield Intermediate School sixth-grader.

The other girls featured in the promotion were Westfield Middle School eighth-grader Tori Bluto and Oak Trace Elementary third-grader Caroline Evans.

“I love the environment and the people within the game,” Clara said. “It’s a very fast sport, so I guess you don’t get

bored ever. You get a lot of new experiences with it and it’s also very competitive.”

Clara played goalie on the 19U team and on the Westfield High School team, which includes four girls, last season.

“The goal is to play in college, but we’ll see,” Clara said.

Clara and Evelyn started playing hockey at the same time.

“We got involved in a ‘girls play hockey’ for free,” Evelyn said. “It was pretty much a public skate, but it was for girls who were starting to play hockey.”

Like her sister, Evelyn immediately took to the sport.

Preparing for the TV spot took some practice.

“There was a script and there were a bunch of lines, and they were all color coordinated,” Clara said. “Different people would get a different set of lines. They would just say, ‘Read the orange line.’ Most of it was over and over again to get it perfect. The person who filmed it got to choose which line sounded best.”

Lily said it was cool to see herself in the promotion. She said some people are surprised when they learn she plays hockey.

“They usually have a lot of questions,” Lily said. “I love that it’s a fast game. I play lacrosse, too, but hockey is my favorite. My goal is to play in college.”

Rose started playing when she was 6 years old, the same

time her older sister started.

“I like being athletic and doing (activities) after school,” said Rose, who is on a summer swim team. “When I started, I wasn’t very good at skating because I only ice skated twice. I eventually learned how.”

Rose said she was nervous at first filming the promotion.

“Saying the lines in front of the camera made me nervous,” Rose said.

Rose said she was amazed when she saw the finished product.

“It was so cool,” she said. “It made us look really good.”

Bluto enjoyed being part of the TV promotion, too.

“It was fun seeing yourself on television and getting all the support from friends and family,” she said. “Just being in something like that was cool. I saw it on USA Hockey Instagram and its Facebook (page).”

Bluto started skating when she was 3 years old.

“I’ve been playing since I was 5,” she said. “I think it’s a unique sport. You don’t hear everyone playing it, and I like the team, too. I feel like the program has grown a lot and a lot more girls have joined.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Teaching moments?

Giving kids ‘the talk’

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The cliché goes, “Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.” Like most aphorisms, it is true on its face with little consideration. We get cut off on the highway as someone realizes too late that their exit is upon them. We get displaced from our chosen airplane or event seat because a late arriver wants to sit next to a relative or friend. We miss the start of the movie because the customer ahead of us in line seems to have overlooked that their wallet would be needed to complete the transaction. And we come to a dead stop in the roundabout as the driver in front has to stop and consider which way they intend to go — in fact, some good fellow citizens stop and back up to get to their chosen venue, apparently not aware of the no-beginning and noend nature of these traffic circles.

Still, we live in a civil society. And many of us take great steps to show deference and respect for our fellow humans. We are unlikely to wear profane graphic T-shirts in public and we still can be found holding the door for those, regardless of gender, entering behind us. Does our attempt to do unto others inadvertently lead to a dependence by them upon our good nature?

Do they become intentionally atrophied at showing up on time, expecting dispensation because they truly have come to believe in their own superiority? One might imagine so, given the abject look of horror to possess the countenance of the poor planner when we don’t freely offer to share our wine with them at the concert. It seems they forgot to bring any, again. When, if ever, is it right to push back, to teach a lesson, or to hold our ground?

For the past couple years, my teacher neighbor (also a Mrs. Wilson) and I have given a spring break lecture to our students about making good choices. When faced with a tough decision, they’re to consider the question, “What would Wilson say?” We have PowerPoints, a spot on the weekly news roundup, even “WWWS?” bracelets. We’re basically legends.

Our advice is practical: wear sunscreen, use the buddy system, avoid incarceration, etc. But I personally like to add a bit about vacation romance.

“Beware the SB fling,” I caution. “It will most likely end in heartbreak.” On the other hand, I tell them they might just find their soulmate and eventually wind up with four children, a mortgage and a bald spouse.

The kids find this hilarious, especially when I explain that I’m speaking from personal experience. Yes! This is a true story of love at first sight. I met my husband, Doo, when I was a senior in high school during spring break. We were in a tiny Bahamian town, Doo with his family, and I with my wealthy bestie.

Miraculously, he called the week after we returned, and the rest is history.

So, yeah, we stress the importance of agency in our annual talk. Students have to make their own decisions, hopefully after weighing all the pros and cons. If they opt to forgo Coppertone SPF 50, they need to be prepared for a nasty sunburn. Decide to swim alone? Shark bait. And if they choose to flirt with the cute guy at the pool, they should be ready for a short-lived relationship. Or, perhaps, a marriage proposal.

“WWWS?” Make good choices!

Peace out.

Motion 4 Life Fitness: An oasis of health and fitness Commentary by Bruce Dean I first met Tom in the early ’90s. A young idealist helping inner-city youth achieve their potential. I owned a graphic EXERCISE design firm at the time and helped Tom create a logo and branding image for his youth development venture, Creative Leadership Group. Flash forward about 20 years, and I got a call from my old friend about a new concept to help an entirely different group of people.

This idea was the dream of his sister, Carol Weesner, an emergency physician. You may recognize the family name Weesner.

Their father, Dr. Gary Weesner, was superintendent of Washington Township Schools and later started the Ruth Lilly Center for Health Education. Their mom, Doris, was actively involved in PEO and Tri Kappa. It is little wonder where their devotion to service came from.

Through her daily work, Dr. Weesner saw firsthand the impact of not exercising.

Patients came to the ER and didn’t return home to independent living. Her research showed older adults want to prevent something bad from happening and to gain control of their bodies and health. Equally important, folks want to participate in life in a meaningful way but are intimidated by gyms and don’t know what to do. The result? Carol’s passion to create a clean, inviting place where older adults feel welcome and safe with highly qualified trainers was forged.

I was fortunate to be asked to help with the branding of this cool project. Tom and

Carol had been improving people’s lives for years, and this new concept was another exciting opportunity to make a difference.

After a fun search for the right name, Motion 4 Life Fitness was born. In January of 2018, M4L opened its doors and started changing lives.

People join to feel better — to be able to bike on vacation, garden without pain or just keep up with the grandkids. I believe many want to get healthy not just for themselves, but also for their spouses, kids and grandkids. More important, these 40- to 90-plus year-olds feel safe with a doctor at the helm and specialized trainers who truly understand the aches and pains of older bodies and the mental and emotional challenges of the fitness journey.

One last thing. I heard a new member asking if staff know every member’s name.

Absolutely. Whether it is a handshake, a handwritten note or a greeting by name, this staff understands that treating people with respect and a smile is as important as a good workout. It truly feels like a family.

I’ve enjoyed being part of M4L’s journey.

It truly is ahead of its time. Doing something good and positive for others is contagious and oh, so rare! I believe that the best is yet to come for Carol and Motion 4 Life Fitness!

DISPATCHES Walking for arthritis — Walking is so beneficial in fighting arthritis pain that it’s considered a natural medicine. Painful, stiff joints make it hard to get moving but moving is exactly what is needed for pain relief. For maximum benefits, you should try to walk at a moderate pace for at least 30 minutes every day. If 30 minutes is too much, start with less time and work up gradually.

Healthcare Innovations

Healthcare for ALL

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 unacceptable (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 FreedomDocSM 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.

This plan is accessible to everyone. Insurance companies created the notion of pre-existing conditions. To a FreedomDoc, those are just speed bumps on the road

to getting you healthy. This reinforces the idea that people need more high quality, high access, low barrier options to make the best decision 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.

Five-time Grammy winner to perform in concert

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director Janna Hymes has long wanted to perform with double bassist MUSIC Edgar Meyer.

“Edgar Meyer has won multiple Grammys and he is someone I have admired for years,” Hymes said. “We were students at the Aspen Music Festival many years ago and his experience as a versatile and virtuosic musician is legendary.”

Meyer, who has won five Grammy Awards, was set to perform with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra March 14, 2020, but the performance was canceled because of the pandemic lockdowns.

Meyer will finally appear with the CSO at 7:30 p.m. April 23 in the Masterworks 5 concert at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“We have been performing regularly and have our fingers crossed that the pandemic is behind us, yet we are optimistically cautious,” Hymes said. “This concert means a lot because of the music on the program and the quality of the playing the orchestra has been delivering lately.

We have been performing in various ways throughout the past two years and now that our schedules have aligned, we can finally present this concert with Edgar Meyer.”

Meyer will perform during “Bottesini Concerto No 2 in B minor” and “Edgar Meyer Concerto in Double Bass in D.” “Several years ago, Edgar released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba and double bass — simply a remarkable demonstration of musical mastery,” Hymes said.

Meyer said he doesn’t have a favorite piece in the Masterworks concert.

“I’m just glad to be playing,” he said.

Meyer said he has never been busier than he has been the past six to eight months as more concert venues return to normal scheduling.

“I am ready for a breather,” he said.

‘IMAGINATION STATION’

Meyer has had several memorable collaborations with singer-songwriter Chris Thile, a duo with Béla Fleck; a quartet with Joshua Bell, Sam Bush and Mike Marshall; a trio with Fleck and Marshall; and a trio with Yo-Yo Ma and Mark O’Connor.

“Collaboration is fundamental to my musical life,” Meyer said. “I could give a hundred examples, but I will stick to a couple. If a person is trying to improve their rhythm, it can help to do basic things like recording practice and working with a metronome. However, there will come a point where it seems like everything is ‘in time,’ yet it doesn’t feel right. All people have blind spots of this nature, and the most effective remedy for this is to play with people who have a better feel than you do. The blind spots will come to the surface in this situation, and one is

obliged to correct the things that are not comfortable “Also, music has been a 61-year educational process for me, and the most important teachers have been the amazing musicians that I have worked with.”

Meyer, a Tulsa, Okla., native, graduated from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music.

“I loved going to school in Bloomington,” Meyer said. “I had a great time and simultaneously learned a tremendous amount.”

Selections scheduled for Masterworks 5 include familiar pieces “The Entertainer” by Scott Joplin; “Lullaby for Strings” and “An American in Paris” by George Gershwin; and “Pirates of the Caribbean” by Hans Zimmer.

Anna’s take: With three locations in the college town, Soma Coffeehouse and Juice Bar is tough to miss when visiting Bloomington. The shops are incredibly cozy, especially the 3rd Street location. There are lots of plants and an aquarium made to look like an old TV. One of my favorite items at Soma is Swamp Thing, an iced Americano with mint and soy milk. The mint is subtle, making the beverage an excellent energizing treat for the warm summer days ahead. Also, the majority of Soma’s pastries are made in-house, so be sure to try something sweet when you visit.

A splintering of language Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Interior of Hoosier Gym in Knightstown. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Experiencing Hoosier Hysteria in Henry County Commentary by Don Knebel Today, we visit Henry County, where two facilities celebrate “Hoosier Hysteria.”

Hoosier Gym in Knightstown, TRAVEL built in 1921 and expanded in 1936, was originally used by Knightstown High School basketball teams.

When a new school opened in 1966, the facility sat idle until 1985, when it became the home gym of the fictional “Hickory Huskers” in “Hoosiers,” inspired by tiny Milan’s 1954 victory in the IHSAA state championship game against much larger Muncie Central.

One-third of the scenes were filmed in the gym and its basement locker room. The gym was saved from demolition in 1988 and is operated as a nonprofit museum, looking almost as it did in the movie, with an autographed photograph of the fictional team hanging beside the “GO HICKORY” banner. Hoosier Gym, open to the public at no charge, hosts about 80 basketball games each year, with team jerseys hung in the locker room.

The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame is in New Castle, about 15 miles north of Knightstown. The 14,000-square-foot facility, opened in 1990, honors Hoosier men, women and teams that have distinguished themselves on or around the basketball court. Visitors can search by name, school or year for Hall of Fame inductees, all of whom are pictured in the “Enshrinement Hall.” Special exhibits honor John Wooden, Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird and the 1954 Milan Indians. Memorabilia of championship

I have already gotten a splinter or two while gardening during this brief season, but have you ever come across a splinter word? No, a splinter GRAMMAR GUY word isn’t any word involving wood; in fact, a splinter is part of a larger word used in forming a new “splinter” word.

Take -holic, for example. An alcoholic suffers from an addiction to alcohol.

For the sake of the example, let’s take the splinter -holic. It doesn’t stand alone as its own word, but when someone talks about being a “shopaholic” or “pizzaholic,” we know what the other person means.

The “-holic” splinter denotes a dependence on something.

Here’s another splinter: -tainment. We know that “entertainment” is something created or performed for the amusement of others. However, on its own, -tainment isn’t a word. It’s a splinter. So, when we see words like “edutainment,” “eatertainment,” and “shoppertainment,” we know that those words relate to things that are created for your amusement.

Along those lines, would “intertainment” be entertainment designed specifically for the internet?

Note that splinters are not suffixes. In the previous example, “-tainment” isn’t a suffix, although “-ment” is a suffix having to do with an action or the result of an action.

Many splinter words begin as slang and then creep into text messages, conversations and even the seventh hour of the “Today Show.” If you’ve heard the word “mansplain,” that happens when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way. A “mockumentary” is a documentary that is purposefully poking fun at the traditional documentary film style. We see how these splinters form new words.

What other splinters can you think of?

I’d hate to grammarsplain this topic into the ground.
