Westfield council hears introductions to library bond request Compiled by Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

A character exhibit of the recently approved IMI concrete batch plant.

(Photo courtesy of westfield. in.gov)

The Westfield City Council met Aug. 9. Included in the meeting were several council introductions and updates for the HAWK system and the citywide audit. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

What happened: Mayor Andy Cook gave an update on the HAWK system, or high-intensity-activated crosswalk, at the Monon Trail Crossing at 161st Street.

What it means: Cook said the equipment will be solar powered, which allows the city to use some of the same equipment already at the crosswalk because of the simplicity of the new system. Cook said the system should be up and running by the end of this month.

What happened: Cook gave a brief update on the Baker/Tilly Taft audit of all city departments.

What it means: Cook said the reports are being merged between the three firms and will be presented to the council and administration by Sept. 15. Council President Mike Johns said the council hasn’t seen an invoice since March, and he has asked the clerk’s office and the council’s finance committee to look into the issue.

What happened: The council approved a planned unit development ordinance for IMI to construct a concrete batch plant at Ind. 32 and Mule Barn Road.

What it means: The council approved the project knowing the Indiana Dept. of Transportation doesn’t plan to make improvements to the Ind. 32 and Mule Barn Road intersection near the project until 2026. Because the project will add more truck traffic to the intersection, the city council is working with INDOT on an interlocal agreement whereby the city would improve the intersection as early as 2022 and be reimbursed

by INDOT in 2026. An agreement hasn’t been approved.

What happened: Westfield Washington Public Library Executive Director Cheryl Sollars requested the council to approve the library moving forward to obtain $16.725 million in bonds to construct a new library.

What it means: Because it was an introduction, a vote was not taken. If approved, the maximum repayment time would be 20 years, but WWPL officials want to pay off the bonds in 16 years. Sollars said the library is finishing the schematic design for the new building. If approved, the bonds would be paid solely by the library and not the city.

What happened: A public hearing was held for an annexation ordinance for the Bonterra subdivision.

What it means: The 100 percent voluntary annexation is just under 29 acres on the southwest quadrant of Ind. 32 and Gray Road.

What happened: Parks and Recreation Supt. Chris McConnell requested an amendment to the Westfield Parks and Trails Rules and Procedures.

What it means: McConnell said the rules and procedures were last updated in 2014. Some of the new rules and procedures encompass pickleball courts use, Grand Junction Plaza operations, Grand Junction Plaza ice rink operations and adds an entire section about trail use and establishes a speed limit on trails and updates the rules and procedures for non-city special events.

Because it was an introduction, the council did not vote.

Westfield Washington Schools requires masks in all buildings

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield Washington Schools is the most recent school district in Hamilton County to require students, staff and PANDEMIC guests to wear face masks inside district buildings.

WWS announced that with updated contact tracing guidelines, students who are 3 feet or further from a person with COVID-19 do not have to quarantine, as long as both parties were wearing masks.

The district also urged students to stay at home if they have COVID-19 symptoms.

Supt. Paul Kaiser provided an update on

the mask policy in a video sent to WWS families.

“Over the last two to three weeks, I’ve received many emails and telephone calls in regard to masks,” Kaiser said. “Now, we can debate the research on masks, depending on which side of the fence you sit on. What we can’t debate is that we want our kids in school. The best way to keep our kids in school is they have every opportunity to be safe and in the best condition for learning, so based on that, we are going to change our direction and our policy on masks based on the updated CDC guidelines.”

NHS soccer player aims for special season

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com There is good reason why Noblesville High School’s Palmer Ault was named one of the 60 high school All-Americans by the United Soccer Coaches after the 2020 season.

“Palmer has so many key qualities to his game,” Noblesville boys soccer coach Kenneth Dollaske said. “He is tremendous at keeping possession in tight spaces, has vision to find passing lanes most players wouldn’t even notice, cracks thunderous shots that leave opponent goalkeepers confused, and is deceptively quick, both with and without the ball. As he has grown throughout his time with our program, he has learned to embrace a captain’s role and make his teammates better on and off the pitch.”

A forward, Ault had 20 goals for the Millers last season. Noblesville has 13 seniors and several starters returning from last year’s 151-1 team. The Millers were ranked No. 1 in the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association preseason rankings. The season began Aug. 16.

“So, we’ll have a little bit of a target on

MEET PALMER AULT

College plans: Plans to play soccer and major in business.

Hobbies: Playing golf and hanging out with friends.

Favorite subject: Science Favorite athlete: Lionel Messi Favorite TV show: “Breaking Bad.” Ideal vacation spot: Snowboarding in Utah our back,” Ault said. “There are a little bit of high expectations for (the) season after a disappointing last fall.”

The Millers lost 1-0 to Hamilton Southeast-

ern in last year’s sectional semifinals.

“We’ve added two great teams from Ohio that we’ve added to our schedule,” Ault said.

“This is definitely one of the best teams in the state. We have the guys to do (win a state championship). It just comes with hard work each day in practice, pushing

each other to be better players along with better people.”

Ault said he has improved his leadership skills.

“I’m trying to lead by example for some of the younger players,” he said. “From a tactical standpoint, I think I’ve improved upon my speed of play. Playing with some older, stronger guys helped me earlier in my career. Having some success at a younger age motived me.”

As a sophomore, Ault was named first team all-state. He played basketball and soccer through eighth grade.

“I enjoyed playing both and didn’t know which one I wanted to focus on,” he said.

“When I got to high school, I decided to concentrate on soccer and pursue that goal wanting to play in college. If a professional chance happens, that would be awesome.”

Ault played for Indy Premier for several years but will join Indiana Fire Academy after his high school season.

Ault said he hopes to make a college decision in the next two months.

“I’d say Butler is my No. 1 school,” said Ault, who also is considering DePaul, Loyola University and IUPUI.

County launches portal for local businesses, nonprofits to apply

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County has launched a portal for local businesses, nonprofits and governmental units to apply PANDEMIC for American Rescue Plan Act funds to recover from losses sustained because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The county has already received roughly $32 million in ARPA funds from the federal government and is set to receive an additional $33.5 million in June 2022. The county has until 2026 to invest the funds.

The county’s ARPA committee, which includes county commissioners, county councilors, the county auditor, county attorney and others, recently identified five key areas of investment: revenue reduction recovery, water/sewer infrastructure, broadband deployment, economic development/relief and reserve for contingencies.

The Hamilton County Commission ap-

proved the investment plan at its Aug. 9 meeting, paving the way for the application portal to launch.

“I have seen organizations do some amazing things to adapt and survive under unprecedented circumstances, but so many are just getting by as the pandemic drags on,” County Commissioner Christine Altman stated in a press release. “This grant program provides much needed assistance that will help organizations throughout our community overcome the next phase of the crisis.”

The county will give funding priority to organizations that are minority-, woman- or veteran-owned and service organizations that work to provide direct, life-sustaining assistance with a focus on recovery and sustainability.

To apply for a grant, visit hamiltoncounty. in.gov/1683/American-Rescue-Plan-Act-ARPA-Planning-C. Questions may be directed to ARPAINFO@hamiltoncounty.in.gov.

ISDH reports data was ‘improperly accessed’ news@currentinwestfield.com The Indiana State Dept. of Health is notifying nearly 750,000 Hoosiers that data from the state’s COVID-19 PANDEMIC online contact tracing survey was improperly accessed. The data includes names, addresses, emails, dates of birth and gender and ethnicity/race.

The state was notified of the unauthorized access on July 2. Last week, the state and the unnamed company that accessed the data signed a “certificate of destruction” to confirm that the data was not released to any other entity and was destroyed by the company, according to the ISDH. When the state was notified, the Indiana Office of Technology and ISDH immediately corrected a software configuration issue and requested the records that had been accessed. Those records were returned on Aug. 4, according to the ISDH. “We believe the risk to Hoosiers whose information was accessed is low,” State

Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box stated in a press release. “We do not collect Social Security information as a part of our contact tracing program, and no medical information was obtained. We will provide appropriate protections for anyone impacted.”

The ISDH will send letters to affected Hoosiers to notify them that the state will provide one year of free credit monitoring and is partnering with Experian to open a call center to answer questions from those impacted. In addition, the Indiana Office of Technology will continue its regular scans to ensure information was not transferred to another party.

“We take the security and integrity of our data very seriously,” said Tracy Barnes, chief information officer for the state.

“The company that accessed the data is one that intentionally looks for software vulnerabilities, then reaches out to seek business. We have corrected the software configuration and will aggressively follow up to ensure no records were transferred.”

With redevelopment under way at Clay Terrace, General Manager Jennifer Jones and her team have sought CLAY TERRACE ways to beautify the shopping center during the process.

Clay Terrace, in partnership with GANGGANG, a cultural development startup, has created Art Walk, a community art installation on the sides of an empty building set to be redeveloped. Clay Terrace will have the grand opening of Art Walk, a community art installation, at 4 p.m. Aug. 18. From 5 to 6 p.m., there will be a meet and greet with the artists by the individual murals.

GANGGANG is backed in part by the Central Indiana Community Foundation. Clay Terrace worked with GANGGANG, whose mission is to develop cultural entrepreneurs with a strong focus on racial equity, to commission 11 area artists to create a series of 12 large-scale murals at the town center.

Each piece will reflect the unique style of its artist and the installation.

The murals will remain up through August

COVER STORY

Westfield resident still getting a jump on career

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com David Fisher had some doubters when he made the decision to be a professional jump roper.

“I like to say my family was very lovingly discouraging in the beginning,” Fisher said.

Fisher, 57, the oldest of three brothers, often jokes that his parents had trouble explaining what he did for a living. His youngest brother is a University of Illinois professor, and his other brother has been named one of the top 75 intellectual property attorneys in California.

His father, Leland Fisher, admitted his oldest son’s quip was true initially.

“When he started jumping rope, we thought it was a crazy idea,” Leland Fisher said. “He’s been jumping rope for 30-plus years. He’s been on the ‘The Today Show.’

My wife and I have been on ‘NBC Nightly News’ with Tom Brokaw. It’s an amazing story that someone can do this for a living and stay healthy enough to do it. He loves to teach, and he loves to teach kids how to be active and jump rope.”

Fisher, who goes by the nickname The Rope Warrior, loves what he does.

“It’s been a passion of mine for an awfully long time. It would be a hard thing just to go get a normal job until I’m physically unable to perform anymore. I used to say the only suit I want to wear to work is a warmup suit,” said Fisher, who moved to Westfield from the Chicago suburbs nearly seven years ago.”

Fisher set the Guinness World Record for most “rump jumps,” 56, in one minute. A rump jump consists of jumping while sitting and lying on the floor.

His story drew the attention of filmmakers, who recently released a documentary about Fisher called “The Rope Warrior.”

Fisher began jumping rope when he was 25 to train for volleyball. He had previously played club volleyball at Emory University in Atlanta.

“I fell in love with (jumping rope) because there are so many fun things you can do,” he said. “I started volunteer work with the American Heart Association with their Jump Rope for Heart program.”

From there, he found out about

While on “Live With Regis and Kathie Lee,” he shared the green room with several other celebrities.

“Michael Caine was really nice to talk to and he stuck around and watched my performance, which I thought was pretty cool,” he said.

Fisher competed in Season 10 of “America’s Got Talent.” He performed his routine where he inflates a 6-foot balloon, squeezes his entire body into the balloon and jumps rope in the balloon.

Fisher’s home support system includes his wife, Renee, and sons, Felix, 16, and Max, 13.

“For the most part, they think it’s cool,” Fisher said of his career. “My sons used to perform with me when they were little, but they have their own activities and passion.”

Felix is a junior in Westfield High School’s marching band, and Max, an eighth grader, plays travel soccer.

Showcase, which Fisher describes as a trade show for people who book school assemblies.

“I went to my first one in 1993 and it kind of exploded from there,” he said.

Fisher said 2009 was his best year financially because schools and businesses were still working off budgets from the previous year. Then things slowed for a couple of years because of the Great Recession. The demand increased again before the COVID-19 pandemic hit in mid-March 2020.

“COVID brought things to a screeching halt,” Fisher said.

Fisher developed a virtual show that he marketed when in-person visits weren’t possible. So now, schools have a choice

between virtual and in-person shows.

“I get the kids’ attention because I have been on a lot of national TV shows,” Fisher said. “I’m always asking the audience for input. It’s almost like jump rope improv where I’m taking suggestions from the audience and working it out with the people I have on stage. It keeps everyone really engaged.”

Fisher also performs at corporate events, college shows and halftime shows, including a few WNBA and NBA games. He was the featured soloist for opening ceremonies of the 1994 Goodwill Games in St. Petersburg, Russia. He also performed at President Bill Clinton’s second inauguration in 1996 and President George W. Bush’s first inauguration in 2000.

David Fisher has been able to continue his routine despite having two hip replacements. He had his first hip surgery in November 2018 and his second in November 2020.

“I could jump better than I could walk,” Fisher said before the surgeries. “When I put both feet together and pushed off both legs, I could jump. But if people saw me before or after the show, they would see me limping.”

Fisher said he doesn’t know if the jumping necessitated his hip replacements, adding it might be hereditary.

“The jumping doesn’t help, but I don’t know that it caused it,” he said.

Fisher said he is careful.

“Getting new hips is like getting new tires on a car. Depending how you drive the car, it will determine how long the tires are going to last,” Fisher said. “I can’t do crazy training regimens that are going to put wear and tear on my hip.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Custom service

No shame in Sin City

Commentary by Terry Anker It is terrific to get exactly what we want, exactly when we want it. Beginning in 1974, the fast-food giant Burger King capitalized on what it considered to be a weakness of its competitors — inflexibility. In what turned out to be one of the company’s, if not the nation’s, most successful campaigns, Burger King promised that its customers didn’t have to conform to the taste of someone else.

“Hold the pickles,” the smiling employee said. “Hold the lettuce,” another enthusiastically offered. “Special orders don’t upset us,” they promised in unison. “All we ask is that you let us serve it your way!” The company offered custom for the same price as off-therack. It worked as consumers loved the flexibility.

Times, as they seem to do, have changed. Burger King struggles to find the right advertising strategy — most recently promoting no preservatives with time-lapse images of rotting burgers. It’s unclear as to how this sells Whoppers. Regardless, others have discovered that customers like custom.

And in a world powered by computers, complex algorithms tailoring each element of nearly anything — from travel to tacos — is now simple enough. But more important, we have come to know that à la carte can be highly à la profitable.

Airlines earned $75.6 billion in fees for checked luggage, early boarding, peanuts and assigned seats. Not wanting to fall behind, hotels and others in the so-called hospitality industry are boarding the gravy train. We can expect charges for use of advertised amenities like pools, beach access and utilities (television/internet). With assurances that our individual costs will go down, most accept the pay-as-you go methodology. But is making less money the objective of the business? And is reduced service in the best interest of the consumer?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.”

— WILLA CATHER

I’ve done it, folks! I’ve successfully secured Worst Mom of the Year for 2021.

Instead of seeing a son off to France for his year abroad and taking last “First Day” pictures of my high school senior, I’ve been gallivanting in Vegas, loving every single minute of it. Shame hath no place on a mother’s vacation!

My husband Doo was attending a weeklong conference in Sin City and I decided to tag along, not realizing I’d be missing some major milestones in our children’s lives. But if I learned anything from my dad’s passing last year, it was to live every moment to its fullest, especially if said moment occurs in and around a desert casino.

So, I played the penny slots for several hours and then watched Doo hit on lucky number 13 in roulette. We sat mesmorized at a Cirque du Soleil show, alternating between “What the heck is happening?” and “Holy cow, these people are bendy!” We explored the Hoover Dam in ridiculously hot temperatures before heading to Red Rock Canyon for a gorgeous scenic drive. Although we never once spotted a stupid burro, tortoise, or rattler (as advertised), or actually left our air-conditioned rental car, for that matter, we imagined ourselves quite the nature enthusiasts.

All the while, I’m waiting for confirmation that Son did in fact catch his flight and arrive safely in Marseilles and texting frantic instructions for Senior to take those start-of-school selfies. But honestly, I never really felt that guilty.

Life is too short for shame, folks, even for mothers. “I’d like to thank the Las Vegas Strip, without whom this award would not have been possible!”

Peace out.

Clerk-Treasurer Gossard should resign Editor, Westfield City Clerk-Treasurer Cindy Gossard has lost all credibility and should resign her position for allowing an “unnamed third-party IT investigator” to do unknown searches and downloads of city data. Gossard admitted being unaware of what information was unearthed by her investigator.

An Aug. 10 Current in Westfield article “IT investigator found at City Hall after hours, unsupervised” raised myriad questions, for which there should be a follow-up story.

What was this person investigating and why wasn’t it done during traditional work-

ing hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.? What kind of covert chicanery is occurring in the dark of night with our city government? So much for transparency within the city treasury.

And why wasn’t Gossard present during these investigations?

Further, why is Gossard’s personal attorney, Will Webster, involved in this matter? Why are they unwilling to name this investigator and company to the city council? An open, transparent investigation is imperative to protect the integrity of the clerk-treasurer’s office.

No horsing around with this promotion?

Mary Ellen and I went to IKEA when it first opened, just to look around. I was mostly looking for the exit, HUMOR because the place was so massive, I was afraid we’d get lost.

No problem, since there were tiny bedrooms all over the store where we could have hung out for a nice, relaxing evening. Food would not have been an issue, either, since there is a huge bistro located in the center of the store. No need to ask for directions or follow floor markings; just walk toward the smell of Swedish meatballs.

IKEA spearheaded a new promotional campaign to celebrate its company and its customers, featuring the Huvudroll Meatball scented candle, part of the Swedish furniture company’s “Store-in-a-Box” gift, orchestrated to bring the sights, sounds and smells of its hallowed halls inside a surprise package. The candle is just one item in an assortment of merchandise that will be offered to exactly 986 customers on a lottery basis. Why 986?

No clue, but the number does look the same if you turn it upside down, just like the nightstand I bought at IKEA.

As of this writing, the marketing people have not completely decided what else to include in the box, or even how big the box will be. Said one executive, “We still haven’t put it all together, so we are not sure what it will finally look like.” This sounds vaguely like what I said after I tried completing my first IKEA bookshelf.

I think IKEA’s pulled-pork sandwich is delicious. I’d just like to know where they pulled the pork from.

– DICK WOLFSIE The meatballs haven’t been without controversy. Several years ago, IKEA was required to “withdraw” some of their food from supermarkets in Sweden because traces of horse meat were found in the product.

In racing terminology, horses are not “withdrawn,” they’re scratched. But no shopper wants to hear the phrase, “Effective immediately, we are scratching our Swedish meatballs.”

People tweeted about the horsey issue. Here were my favorites: • Tried both beef tacos and horse tacos.

Horse wins by a nose.

• My friend ate it and was hospitalized.

Condition: Stable.

• Ate too much. Gave me the trots.

• My roommate suggested we eat meatballs for lunch. I said WHOA, not so fast.

So, why was horse meat added to some products? Is it cheaper than beef? Aren’t horses harder to catch? Rabbit should be pricey. They should give turtle soup away.

On cooking websites, hundreds of recipes feature horse meat. A noted food critic says, “Most of the dishes are winners.” Seems like the winners would have a better chance of not being on the menu.

I think IKEA’s pulled-pork sandwich is delicious. I’d just like to know where they pulled the pork from.

Meanwhile, I look forward to learning what else will be put in that IKEA box. If I am one of the winners, I hope whatever is in there does not require assembly.

DISPATCH Stocks that benefit from rising inflation -- For investors, rising costs can eat into profits for some companies and push up interest rates, which hurts bond prices and tends to pull investors away from stocks, depressing those prices. Cushion the effects of swelling inflation by investing in companies that benefit from global economic expansion and rising prices, such as: • Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), the world’s largest copper miner, will see stronger profits due to a 60 percent jump since last spring in the price of copper — essential for home construction and electric-vehicle production. Recent share price: $24.63.

• Caterpillar (CAT) is a global leader in

producing heavy machinery. Rising commodity prices will lead Caterpillar’s customers, ranging from industrial metal-mining firms to agricultural companies, to buy more of Caterpillar’s excavators, backhoes and bulldozers. Recent share price: $180.96.

• Cummins (CMI). This century-old company will see demand rise for diesel engines that power big-rig trucks and trains used to haul commodities and other goods. Also, investors are underestimating the profit potential of Cummins’s new “clean–energy” engines that use fuel cells and hydrogen technology. Recent share price: $224.31.

Caring for the disabled during the pandemic and beyond Commentary by Gay Murry The pandemic did so much to shine a light on the tough jobs of frontline workers.

Yes, my work caring for GIVING BACK individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a New Hope of Indiana home was difficult. It was even scary at times.

We had to mask up, social distance and take many other precautions. We couldn’t go on our usual outings with clients to help them feel part of the community, and their social isolation was devastating to watch.

But there were some amazing things, too.

Life-changing things. I hope others across the state will learn from my story and consider joining me as a Direct Support Professional, or DSP. The pandemic definitely changed my life – in a wonderful manner. I found creative ways to build meaningful connections with my clients and learned to get even closer to my co-workers. Pulling together, working together, praying, being a mother and a friend brought us through – stronger than ever.

I’ve been at New Hope for more than eight years and I truly enjoy taking care of my clients – cooking breakfast, keeping them strong and healthy, helping them with everyday tasks. The best part is joking and watching my clients smile, nod or laugh.

That kept me going through the months of isolation during the pandemic.

The past year has really strengthened my faith. I felt incredibly supported by my employer, New Hope of Indiana, and colleagues. New Hope is an awesome place to work and to make a career if you love taking care of people. If you’re compassionate and caring like me, well, then, you’ve come to the right place to work. From our CEO to

our management team to our caregivers like me, our organization values inclusivity and service and it shows in all that we do.

I’m glad the pandemic shone a light on the work we do and the need for more people to do it. I’m thankful the Indiana General Assembly passed legislation last session to increase the average wages of DSPs like me. I’m hoping that encourages others to choose this as a career and stay in the field.

The vulnerable people we serve deserve it. Having this pay raise has changed my life for the better. I am truly grateful and thankful.

As in many other fields, New Hope and other disability services agencies are facing a significant staffing shortage, particularly for DSPs. I hope that Hoosiers looking for meaning and purpose in a career will consider serving others as a DSP. It is the hardest and most rewarding work I’ve ever done, and it means more to me than any other job. The individuals I serve bring me so much happiness and they teach me more than I could ever hope to teach them.

New Hope is implementing pay increases thanks to additional funding from the state and federal governments, as well as providing numerous other benefits in hopes of hiring 50 new DSPs this year. While that is really great news, the best benefit of my job is getting to know our incredible clients and making a difference in their lives.

There’s nothing else like it.

Gay Murry is a Direct Support Professional at New Hope of Indiana, which has supported individuals with disabilities and their families for more than 40 years. New Hope of Indiana is actively recruiting DSPs for group homes in Hamilton County. For more, visit newhopeofindiana.org.

DISPATCHES Wake up faster — If you have trouble waking up in the morning, try using your shower as a stimulant. Switch the water temperature from hot to cold several times, holding each temperature for about 10 seconds.

Source: BottomLineHouseholdMagic.com Curb nighttime snacking — Late-night munchies can sabotage your efforts to lose weight, or even to remain healthy. To help prevent the evening snack urges, try eating a high-protein dinner. Avoid high-carb foods

like pasta and potatoes late in the day. They stimulate insulin production and can make you feel hungry two hours later.

Improve your focus — Studies show that our attention spans are declining, largely due to the use of technology. We feel we have to respond to every text, alert and call immediately. Instead, try putting the phone on “do not disturb” mode for a few minutes when you need to focus on something else.

Rock the Junction set for Aug. 28

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Grand Junction Brewing Co. owner Jon Knight said the Rock the Junction beer and music festival was FESTIVAL originally an avenue for his business to give back to the community.

“From Day 1, we’ve wanted Grand Junction to be involved heavily in our community,” Knight said. “One of the ways we decided we could do that is by putting together a craft beer and music festival.”

This is the fifth year for the Rock the Junction festival. Traditionally held in the middle of May, it is scheduled for 1 to 5 p.m. Aug. 28 at the brewery, 1189 E. 181st St., Westfield. The event was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The brewery didn’t host the event in 2020.

Knight said he expects the 2022 event to be in May. “We’ve probably generated over $50,000

in charity donations from Rock the Junction,” Knight said. “In fact, despite the COVID pandemic, we still donated for two scholarships at Westfield High School without the event.”

Typically, Rock the Junction funds two $2,000 scholarships each year. Because the event wasn’t held last year, Grand Junction Brewing Co. granted two $1,000 scholarships.

To apply, students submit an essay on why they feel they’re deserving of the scholarship. The essay is the only criteria for the scholarship, which makes it unique.

“It’s very different than other scholarships,” Knight said. “We provide scholarships in particular to graduating seniors pursuing vocational trades, because if you think about it, all the scholarships that are out there are typically for four-year students with high GPAs, and (those students are) also getting other scholarship offers.

We recognized a need. We recognized

there was a gap and there was a need in the community for scholarship money for those students who may not have the highest GPA and those students pursuing vocational programs.

“For example, if someone wanted to go out and study brewing science or become a diesel mechanic or vocational trade, this filled that void.”

The brewery is expecting 1,000 people for the event. Knight said he expects tickets to sell out. Twenty-five breweries, wineries, distilleries and cideries will provide samples for attendees. The brewery will be closed to the public during the event but will open when it ends. Three bands will perform: The Dead Squirrels, Fast Cadillac and Chasing Katie.

Besides providing scholarships, Grand Junction Brewing Co. also has donated to charities such as the Westfield Youth Assistance Program, Indy Honor Flight and Indiana Suicide Prevention. For more, visit rockthejunction.com.

‘Mayberry Man’ premiere set editorial@youarecurrent.com Labor Day weekend marks one year since production began on the family friendly comedy “Mayberry Man,’ inspired by ‘“The Andy Griffith Show.” Filmed largely in Danville and starring Danville native Brett Varvel, the Historic Royal Theater in downtown Danville will be the site of its world premiere.

The event includes live music and watching the stars arrive in classic automobiles and Mayberry squad cars that were featured in the movie beginning at 7 p.m. Sept.

4. A Mayberry Fest car show will take place earlier in the day from 1 to 5 p.m.

The film was written and directed by Stark Howell and produced by Carmel resident Cort Howell. The filmmakers have a personal connection to “The Andy Griffith Show.”

Stark and Cort Howell are the sons of actor Hoke Howell, who played “Dud Wash” on the original series. Dixie Griffith, daughter of Andy Griffith, is an executive producer. Karen Knotts, daughter of Don Knotts, makes a cameo appearance in the film.

Carmel gears up for Artomobilia Weekend

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com

A presentation of Carmel Symphony Orchestra and Hamilton County Parks and Recreation, proudly Title Sponsored by The City of Carmel.

A tribute to the Fab Four backed by the sensational symphonic sounds of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra led by Artistic Director Janna Hymes.

Sunday, September 5, 2021 7:00pm Coxhall Gardens For details and tickets: carmelsymphony.org | 317.844.9717

With a mix of fast cars, collector cars, rare cars and classic cars — not to mention a car rally and a unique culinary CARS experience that combines gourmet food and, well, cars — Artomobilia Weekend has something for virtually all car connoisseurs.

“It’s a great automotive weekend that showcases a great collection of cars against the really exceptional assets of the Carmel community, be that the Carmel Arts & Design District, Midtown or the Lucas residence,” said John Leonard, event coordinator for an attraction that has grown exponentially since its launch in 2008. “If you’re interested in cars, this event is perfect.”

With a laser-focus on exotic, classic and unique cars, Artomobilia Weekend revs up Aug. 27 with the annual SHIFT Road Rally through southern Indiana and the Fuelicious auto/dining event at Lucas Estate in Carmel. It crosses the finish line Aug. 28 in the Carmel Arts & Design District with the Artomobilia and Arto-Palooza automotive showcases.

“We have an impossibly broad and deep set of collector classes, enthusiast corrals and specialty groups that have something for every automotive interest,” Leonard said.

“Further, the Carmel Arts & Design District, (with) its shops, merchants and restaurants, make for the perfect environment that is perfect for the whole family.”

Although last year’s event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Artomobilia Weekend has drawn 20,000-plus visitors in recent years, with Artomobilia being the centerpiece.

Presented throughout the Arts & Design District, Artomobilia features several hundred enthusiast and collector cars, ranging from original, period-correct cars, exotic cars, classic cars, sports cars and racecars.

“Artomobilia is an eclectic car show, one of the largest and most diverse that focuses on automotive art and design,” Leonard said. “We’ll have more than 500 vehicles, from a 1908 Buick Model F to a brand-new Ferrari Roma. We (also) feature rare cars that are not frequently seen in public. This year, our featured marquee is Lotus, and we’ll be showcasing the Lotus Evija, a $2.5 million, 2,000 horsepower all-electric hyper car.

Launched in 2008, Artomobilia is an eclectic car show presented throughout the Carmel Arts & Design District. (Photo courtesy Artomobilia)

“Gator Motorsport and Lotus Cars are bringing it from the U.K. to appear in Artomobilia.”

Rounding out Artomobilia Weekend are the SHIFT Road Rally, Fuelicious and Arto-Palooza.

SHIFT is a private 190-mile driving event through the backroads of southern Indiana.

An annual fundraiser for various causes, this year’s beneficiary is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Another annual fundraiser, Fuelicious is a gourmet dining/auto showcase event at Lucas Estate that includes live entertainment and benefits Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana. More than 500 people typically attend.

A relatively new attraction established in 2019, Arto-Palooza is an “event-within-an event” at Artomobilia that will feature three groups of cars: Lotus, Porsche and BMW. For more, visit artomobilia.org.

Riverview Health Auxiliary invites you and your friends to attend the Autumn Elegance Style Show & Luncheon featuring the latest fashions by The Secret Ingredient, Bash Boutique and Riverview Health Gift Shop.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 313 Water St., Saugatuck, Mich.

What to get: Salmon bowl Price: $14.99 Anna’s take: This week’s column takes a bit of a different spin. I recently took a vacation to Michigan and stopped at Saugatuck, the halfway point to my destination, on the way back home. After a friend mentioned how much they loved visiting Saugatuck, I thought it would be a good idea to share one of the quaint town’s restaurants with our readers. Saugatuck has lots of waterfront-dining opportunities and endless restaurant options, but my travel companion (my mother) and I needed something quick and easy so we could beat a fast-approaching storm. We stopped at Fresh Basil Café, a little café with-gluten free and vegan

options. I ordered the salmon bowl, a delicious, fresh bowl of baby spinach topped with almonds, cucumbers, green onions, tomatoes, quinoa and, of course, salmon. It was drizzled with a tasty poppy seed dressing. My mother ordered the lobster roll and also was happy with her meal.

Saugatuck makes for an excellent weekend getaway, or at three hours away, it could even be a day trip if you’re feeling ambitious.

Behind bars: Gin Fizz Get it at Monterey Coastal Cuisine, Carmel Ingredients: 2 oz.

Blueprint for Improvement: A modern master bath in Indy Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1998, this home is on Indianapolis’ north side. The new owners wanted to update the outdated master bath with sleek, modern finishes.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • Floating vanities in a warm maple finish replaced the floor-based cabinetry. LED lighting was added below for additional ambiance.

• Dark gray granite was used for the vanity countertops and the shower bench.

• The walk-in shower was updated with ceramic tile and a frameless door. Oilrubbed bronze fixtures add style to the space.

• A sculptural freestanding tub replaced the jet-style tub.

• The cathedral ceiling is accentuated with an artistic crystal chandelier.

Visiting Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial Commentary by Don Knebel The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, about 100 miles south of Indianapolis, recognizes the 14 formative TRAVEL years Abraham Lincoln spent in Indiana.

Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 near Hodgenville, Ky., to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. In 1816, after losing three farms in title disputes, Thomas moved his family to Indiana because of its reliable land surveys and slavery ban. He purchased 160 wooded acres from the federal government in what is now Spencer County for $320, payable over time. He built a one-room log cabin and began clearing about 80 acres.

When Nancy Lincoln died of milk sickness in 1818, Thomas buried her on a hilltop 1,500 feet from the cabin, establishing a small private cemetery. In 1827, Thomas Lincoln relinquished his claim to 80 acres and received clear title to the remainder. In 1829, he began building a new log home, but moved his family, including his second wife and stepchildren, to Illinois before completing it.

In 1879, with increased interest in all things Lincoln, Peter Studebaker of South Bend erected a head stone over the probable location of Nancy Lincoln’s grave. In 1917, archeologists discovered hearthstones from the unfinished 1829 house. In 1925, Indiana acquired 60 acres, including the cemetery and cabin site, and opened the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial, with an allée designed

by Frederick Law Olmstead leading to the cemetery. In 1934, a mile-long Trail of Twelve Stones was added, marking significant events in Abraham Lincoln’s life. A bronze monument symbolizing a cabin foundation and fireplace was added. In 1943, Indiana

completed a two-wing limestone memorial building, honoring Abraham and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, at the south end of the allée.

The site, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, now includes a reconstructed 1820s farm, with staff members in period dress answering questions about the time the Lincolns lived there.

Bid adieu to words of ‘wisdom’ Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Have you ever tried to sound smart, and, as a result of doing so, used the wrong word? I’ve noticed this recently when people conGRAMMAR GUY fuse the words “ado” and “adieu.”

The first thing I think of when I hear “ado” is Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” I think Jerry Seinfeld got his idea for a “show about nothing” from Shakespeare’s play. “Ado” means “fuss, turmoil or hubbub.”

When people hear us use words like “ado,” they think we are the type of folks who know stuff about Shakespeare. Just don’t be surprised when you get peppered with a question about Richard III’s Machiavellian rise to power. If that happens, simply jump through the nearest window.

“Adieu” is French for “goodbye.” In the same way the Spanish compound word “adios” literally means “(go) to God,” “adieu” also means “(go) to God.” The original French phrase was “A dieu vous commant,” which translates to “I commend you to God.” In fact, this translation

is identical to the phrase “a dios vos acomiendo,” from which we get the word “adios.”

These fancy foreign language goodbyes began with strong religious overtones.

Similarly, the English word “goodbye” was initially a contraction for “God be with ye.”

Now we just say “bye.” “Bye” is shorter but doesn’t sound nearly as artful as “adieu.”

If you don’t understand all the ado about “ado” and “adieu,” imagine you’re at an exclusive roof party in a secret neighborhood in Brooklyn called NoHoSoBro. At the end of an extravagant night of martinis and overpriced fish eggs, you make your exit by saying, “Thanks for inviting me to your soiree, Beyoncé. Ado!” Because of your fancy phrasal faux pas, you won’t ever again be able to locate the secret neighborhood of NoHoSoBro.
