Westfield attracts thousands for total eclipse

By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com

The eclipse has come and gone, but those special viewing glasses still have plenty of life left in them.

ECLIPSE

The City of Westfield is collecting used eclipse glasses, which will be donated to school children in Latin America to view the annular eclipse in October 2024. Glasses can be dropped off in the vestibule of Westfield City Services, 2728 E. 171st. St. The vestibule is open 24 hours a day.

The April 8 eclipse marked the culmination of countless hours of work and planning that brought more than 5,600 people to Grand Park to see the celestial event.

“The event was a huge success,” Westfield’s Communications Director Kayla Arnold said. “We started working on the event nearly two years ago with Hamilton County Tourism. We’ve had dozens of meetings with the county organizing committee, public safety and internal planning meetings. It’s hard to add up all of those hours but I do know there were several employees on-site for 15 hours (April 8).”

While the event was an unusual one, the City of Westfield was well prepared for the large-scale coordination effort needed to host thousands of visitors, particularly at Grand Park. In addition to the millions of visitors Grand Park sees for sporting events, the city also hosts Westfield Rocks the 4th at Grand Park each summer. Arnold said the set up for the eclipse was similar, with a stage, inflatables, food trucks and activities for kids.

Arnold added that there were no significant traffic delays or other adverse events April 8.

“Whether they attended our event or chose to celebrate elsewhere, we hope that everyone took a moment to enjoy the

stillness and beauty of the eclipse,” Arnold said. “It was an incredible experience to see the skies change and feel the temperature drop — it’s something we may not witness again in our lifetime, unless we choose to travel to the next one.”

Arnold said Kristen Mix, community events coordinator with Westfield Welcome, provided organizers for the event with the saying “the universe chose us” for April 8.

“We hope that we made it a memorable experience for those that attended,” Arnold said.

In addition to local viewers, Arnold said Westfield’s event also attracted visitors from Germany, Australia and Northern Ireland.

While the next total eclipse is Aug. 12, 2026, over Russia, Greenland, Iceland and Spain, the next total eclipse in the United States takes place Aug. 22, 2044, and will be visible in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. A total eclipse will also cross the U.S. Aug. 12, 2045.

Used bike sale and donation day – Recycled Cycles will host a used bicycle sale and donation day from 10 a.m. until noon May 18 at their repair shop, 810 E. Main St. in Westfield north of Big Hoffa’s Barbecue. Several bicycles in good condition will be offered for sale at reduced prices. Proceeds from the sale will go toward the purchase of parts to repair additional bicycles. In 2023, Recycled Cycles repaired and gave away more than 375 bicycles to deserving families in Hamilton County. The group repairs both youth and adult bicycles year round under the sponsorship of Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County. Donations of any used bicycle no matter the condition will be accepted, as parts of unrepairable bikes are salvaged to make whole bikes. Payment by check is preferred.

NEW CUSTOM COMMUNITY COMING TO WESTFIELD

Valet parking now on Park Street

By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com

As the days warm up, city officials in Westfield hope residents will be enticed to spend more time at popular downtown destinations like Grand Junction Plaza and the restaurants and businesses on Park and Jersey streets.

CITY NEWS

To add a layer of convenience to the trip, the city is now offering valet parking six nights a week on Park Street.

The city has teamed up with Tier 1 Valet to provide the service, available from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 5 p.m. until 11 p.m. on Friday and 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday. Valet parking is $10 per vehicle, and cars will be parked across from the new library location at Park and Maple Streets. The service is for people visiting any business in the area during those hours, not specific establishments.

“We spoke with a number of valet companies, and given Tier 1’s reputation and referrals from other businesses and restaurants, they were the ones best suited for our needs,” Deputy Mayor Danielle Carey Tolan stated, regarding how the city chose a company to provide the service.

The service is expected to alleviate parking concerns during peak hours, particularly on weekends when the downtown and Park Street areas experience increased traffic.

“We are thrilled to introduce the option of valet parking services on Park Street.” Mayor Scott Willis stated. “This initiative aligns with our commitment to enhancing the overall experience for residents and visitors to our downtown area. We know parking has always been a challenge, and this is a great alternative as we work to

bring more parking online downtown.” Free parking is also available in the lot at the southwest corner of Poplar Street and Park Street and in designated onstreet spots along Jersey, Mill and Union streets.

Signs have been installed to designate the valet parking areas and times, as well as for six designated 20-minute parking spots on Park Street.

Central Indiana awarded $45M through state READI program

news@currentinfishers.com

About $500 million will be awarded to 15 regions representing all 92 counties in Indiana to support quality-of-place and quality-of-life initiatives statewide.

DEVELOPMENT

Central Indiana, including Boone, Hamilton and Marion counties, will receive about $45 million.

The funding comes from the expansion of the Indiana Regional Acceleration and Development Initiative and was approved by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation board of directors during a special session April 11.

According to a news release, READI 2.0 is a continuation of a state-led investment in cultivating vibrant, modern and sustainable communities that attract and retain top talent.

The 15 regional proposals covered projects to improve quality of life and quality of place, according to the announcement. In

central Indiana, the proposals were led by the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority, covering Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Morgan and Putnam counties.

According to the announcement, the proposals “promote the development of walkable and connected living, innovation and recreational districts that serve as magnets for talent attraction and innovation, and provide links to arts, culture and recreation.”

Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) stated that the READI program is part of an overall vision for growth in Indiana.

“Our state’s strong fiscal position, made possible by years of responsible budgeting, has allowed us to make this significant investment while also cutting taxes for Hoosiers,” he said. “I’m looking forward to seeing this new round of projects in Hamilton County move forward.”

Westfield roads to undergo 3D scanning process

By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com

Westfield roads will undergo a digital assessment for public works to rank and prioritize future needs and projects.

PUBLIC WORKS

In March, the Board of Public Works and Safety approved a proposal from StreetScan for an asset management program in the amount of $54,958.

The program utilizes a specialty vehicle that travels through the city’s streets and provides 3D imagery of those roads.

“It gives us a rating condition on all of our roads,” said city engineer Michael Pearce. “It shows locations of potholes, block cracking and all the different deficiencies we have in there. Previously we had always done that in house, but due to resources we felt like it was a good move to have a third party come in and reevaluate things. We try to do this every

two years so we have a good updated condition rating on our roads. It helps us drive decision making, as far as asset management, resurfacing, crack fill, that sort of thing.”

Pearce said previously, the work was conducted by a public works employee who drove all the city streets then cre-

ated a spreadsheet of those road conditions. The StreetScan system will not only provide scanning of all roads, but also asset management software that public works can use to create maps and analyze data to plan road repairs, sidewalk projects, traffic signs and right-of-way budgeting decisions.

“This is much more palatable from a research standpoint,” Pearce said. “The interface is very useful for us because not only does it provide all the condition ratings, but it also has some budget management plans in there. So, long range I can give advice to the board of public works or to council as far as what we should be spending from a pavement maintenance standpoint.”

Board members noted that the StreetScan program makes management of roads a scientific effort, versus just looking at the roads and making guesses on which streets need work at any given time.

Officials said the city also intends to have a road management portal available to the public on its website soon so residents can check street conditions.

Scanning is expected to begin in May.

StreetScan will provide the mapping of Westfield’s roads via a specially equipped vehicle.

Program narrows gender gap

By Mary Farucci news@youarecurrent.com

According to a 2020 study conducted by the U.S. International Trade Commission, women represent only 24 percent of the automotive manufacturing workforce. Jiffy Lube of Indiana is working to bridge the gender gap in a typically male-dominated industry through its “Growing People Through Work” program.

AUTOMOBILES

One employee participating in the program is Monica “Mo” Jewell, who joined Jiffy Lube in 2016 as a courtesy technician and is now general manager of the location along U.S. 31 Street near the Westfield and Carmel border.

Jewell, a Kokomo resident, has long had an interest in auto maintenance and repair.

“Cars were kind of a thing for us growing up,” Jewell said. “My dad’s dad was a mechanic in town and all of his kids, except for my dad actually, were a part

of his business there. It wasn’t always something the granddaughters got invited out to, we wanted to, but we just weren’t there. But I always tinkered around cars growing up, and my mom made sure that me and my sister – before we had our (driver’s) licenses – knew the basics about a vehicle.”

Through the company’s “Growing People Through Work” program, Jewell has had the opportunity to grow and reach professional goals.

“Today and over the last 10 years or so, it’s just been a real influx of women in the workplace for us and it’s been great,” Jiffy Lube Director of Operations Rodney Brown said. “We have a number of female technicians, female assistant managers and a number of female managers in the company.”

Jewell has a message for any young woman who sees a future working in the automotive industry.

“Don’t let anything limit you,” she said. “No matter what the world tells you, if you put your mind to it then you can do anything you want to do. You don’t have to limit yourself to anything.”

Barriers to health care aren’t always apparent. Depression and other mental illnesses can impact every aspect of an individual’s life and the lives of those around them. Fortunately, this young woman found the courage to challenge the stigma around mental health that many face, and her journey is now inspiring others.

Happy mushroom hunting: The morel of the story

Commentary by Mark LaFay

Spring season is finally upon us. But let’s be honest, while the vernal equinox may have come and gone, the threat of snow never ends until May and the sound of racecars can be heard faintly in the distance. Indiana’s tormenting weather patterns aside, the warmer average temperatures do mean that we are officially at the beginning of morel season. I am an avid outdoorsman and, in addition to spring turkey hunting, you will find me and my boys walking the woods in search of the ever-elusive morel.

Morel mushrooms are very finicky and very hard to cultivate commercially. They appear only in the spring and once the temps get warm enough, they stop fruiting and lay dormant until another trip around the sun has been completed.

If you’ve never been mushroom hunting, morels are a great mushroom to get started on. They are very easy to identify accurately, they taste amazing and when you find where they are growing, they will almost always continue growing there as long as you harvest responsibly.

Here are some tips for morel hunting:

• Morels will start to pop up when average soil temps are between 45 and 50 degrees and air temps are above 60 degrees. You can check soil temps online. There are several websites that track this.

• Look for elm trees. You can identify an elm tree by its bark. Morels will grow in the ground, not on wood, around elm trees where their bark, sticks, leaves, etc., fall and decay.

• Harvest responsibly. Pinch the morel off at the base, leaving the root in the

ground. Mushrooms are organisms that live and grow under the surface, so they can grow back. The mushroom that you pick is the fruit and is responsible for spreading spores, which grow more mushrooms. That means you should carry your mushrooms in a netted bag so that spores can be spread as you move through the woods. A word about safety. There is only one mushroom that remotely resembles the morel, and it is called a false morel. They are similar but very different in appearance. If you have any doubt in your mind,

false morels are solid. Real morels are hollow. Cut it open and look.

Lastly, morel honey holes are top secret. If you know other people who hunt morels, don’t ask them where they go. They will, at best, lie to you and, at worst, get angry with you for asking. That means you must find the spots yourself. When you head out around Boone or Hamilton counties looking for these delectable fungi, try public parks, like Cool Creek. It is legal to take mushrooms from Indiana DNR-managed property. Dormant spores could come back to life after construction and other agitation of the soil, so walking the wooded edges of a cornfield conversion is another good option. When you stumble upon one morel, don’t move, look around to see where there may be more and pick carefully. Then promptly email me your GPS coordinates. Happy hunting!

Tri Kappa bourbon raffle returns

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Carmel Tri Kappa President Nanette

Foster is optimistic the rare bourbon craze will turn into a major fundraising success.

FUNDRAISER

This year, winners of the fourth annual Carmel Tri Kappa Bourbon Raffle will receive a grand prize of a flight of Weller bottles, Special Reserve, Antique 107, Full Proof and 12 Year.

“On top of that, we have some hard to find rare and allocated bourbons,” Foster said.

The other seven winners will receive bourbon bottle prizes. Ticket sales end May 2. The sales are cut off at 300 and the winners will be drawn May 3.

The bourbon raffle, the nonprofit’s main fundraiser, raised $15,000 in 2023 but Foster said she hopes all 300 tickets will sell out this year.

“The funds help support scholarships for high school seniors,” said Foster, a Westfield resident. “It aids in donating to local community not-for-profit organizations. It supports our middle school and high

school backpack programs that are directly assisting our local families in need.”

Foster said all the money raised through the raffle is donated. There are no administrative costs.

“Last year from our bourbon sales, we gave three high school seniors first-year scholarships for college,” Foster said. “All the money stays with Hamilton County.”

Guerin Catholic senior basketball player follows dad’s D-I path

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Guerin Catholic High School senior Dylan Murans knows where he got his drive to succeed.

“Mostly (from) my dad.

Knowing that he has played basketball at the Division I level really pushes me to be the best that I can, and obviously the love for the sport that’s never ending,” Murans said. Murans’ father, Paul, played under coach Steve Alford at Missouri State University, which was then Southwest Missouri State University. Murans will achieve his dream to play at the Division I level for Army next season.

“West Point will be a great fit for him because he is very willing to put in the work and he responds very well to instruction and practice,” Guerin Catholic coach Bobby Allen said. “He wants to learn and improve every day, and I think that is what makes him so special. Obviously, he loves basketball and he is a great talent on the court,

but he is also a great person and he has an incredible future ahead of him.”

The 6-foot-7 Murans transferred to Guerin from Carmel High School before his junior season. He averaged eight points per game as a junior. He then averaged 10.1 points while making 50 percent of his shots this past season. He raised his rebounding average from 2.7 per game to 3.0 as a senior.

“He was an immediate starter for us and

he learned on the fly,” Allen said. “He is an incredible athlete that has the ability to make plays around the rim that many high school kids are not capable of doing. Every game, he seemed to get more aggressive, especially on the offensive glass. The first time we played Brebeuf, he had two put-

back dunks that I think put everyone on notice.”

Allen said Murans leads with his action and emotion.

“He is a big-time playmaker and has the ability to get the entire team going by his playmaking ability,” Allen said. “His ability to play above the rim but also knock down perimeter shots make him a complete player, and as he develops more, I think he is going to have a huge impact on his team at West Point.”

Murans made 33 percent of his 3-point shots as a senior.

“I’d say most of my improvement throughout the years has been staying under control, and defense,” Murans said.

The Carmel resident said he chose Army because of the coaching staff.

“I had not met a single coach during recruitment that had wanted me as much as Coach (Kevin) Kuwik,” he said. “I had received a letter from him every single day since the beginning of his interest in me. This made our family decide to go out and give it a shot during my visit, and it completely blew me away. That exact point had sold me on just about everything.”

Downsizing vs. Rightsizing:

Picture this: you’re standing in the center of the home where you raised your kids, surrounded by decades of memories and closets full of life’s accumulated treasures. The kids have flown the nest, and hopefully, they are successfully adulting. Your once busting at-the-seams space suddenly feels empty and cavernous. This is the classic scenario for downsizing. It’s about trimming the excess, shedding the unnecessary, and embracing a simpler lifestyle. Downsizing is like Marie Kondo-ing your living situation – it’s about keeping the things that make you happy and getting rid of the surplus accumulated over the years.

Are you craving simplicity and minimalism? Do you want to split time between a smaller home here and another home someplace else, then an over-55 community might be a good option. These are typically no-maintenance communities that have a vibrant clubhouse at their hub. There are organized activities, a fitness center, swimming pools, and tennis and pickleball courts. These communities provide plenty of opportunities for leisure and socializing.

But hold on, maybe downsizing isn’t what you want or need. Rightsizing might be a better alternative. Unlike downsizing, rightsizing is about finding the perfect balance. It’s about creating a living space that fits your future needs and lifestyle. Rightsizing isn’t about giving up space. Instead, it’s a smarter layout with better form and function. Maybe that means trading your two-story home for a single-level home and designing spaces that accommodate an expanding family, like a bunkroom for future grandkids. Rightsizing isn’t about sacrifice and making do with less; it’s about making room for how you envision your next chapter.

How do you know which option is right for you? You might need to do some soul-searching and take some time to reflect on what you truly want out of your next home.

If less space, less maintenance, and budget aren’t deciding factors, then rightsizing might be the answer. You can create a space that is more balanced and functional that better fits your lifestyle and needs.

Once you have a clear vision in mind, it’s time to enlist the help of a trusted realtor (hint: that’s where we come in!) to discuss options and help guide you in the right direction. Whether moving to an over 55 community, redesigning your existing home, or finding a piece of property to build your rightsized home, you have options.

CREATIVE VISION

Westfield High School students explore the world of visual arts

By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com

When it comes to showing off their artistic sides, students at Westfield High School have an advantage.

Students enrolled in visual arts pathways are able to capitalize on their creativity while learning skills that translate into the real world. Visual arts are part of Westfield High School’s fine arts program. While fine arts might bring to mind theater or choir, the offerings are far more diversified.

“This is visual arts, but within that is not just drawing and painting,” said visual arts instructor John Sterling. “It’s photojournalism, photography, graphic design, digital art, and, of course, still drawing and painting and ceramics.”

The high school has two full digital labs for students, where they learn skills that can benefit them as they transition from high school to college or careers.

“It’s really the foundational things needed, from the basics of design but then also we have the opportunity to offer them the same equipment and processes that they would be doing in college and career pathways,” Sterling said. “For visual communications or graphic design, they’re designing logos for mock clients, or in some cases, actual clients, like clubs that are at the high school.”

Senior Ruby Swartz, 18, said their passion for visual arts began as a sophomore in an introductory digital arts class, where they learned the art of storytelling through stylized graphic design. Swartz said they plan to use the skills learned at WHS in college and beyond.

“The teachers here really pushed me toward education,” Swartz said. “I’m going to major in art education, and I’d really like to teach digital art because I feel like it will be more prominent in the future… I did a presentation (where) I made a character and I got to make a slideshow and teach people how to make characters. I feel like digital art and traditional art are equal: They should both be appreciated.”

Digital art is exactly how it sounds — creating art on a digital platform, allowing the user to make artwork that they might not otherwise be able to create

traditionally.

But traditional art is still a substantial part of the program.

Ava Gallego, a 17-year-old junior at WHS, has developed a passion for pictures as an

AP photography student. Gallego said her family has traveled extensively, and those travels inspired her to capture moments through photography.

“I’ve always had a feeling for it, I don’t

DESIGNING THE FUTURE

Visual arts educator John Sterling said students practice the technical skills of design for digital art, which he said is a growing medium for careers.

“I see in the next five, 10, 20 years digital art eclipsing much of the rest of the industry,” Sterling said.

The students are already using those skills to develop their own personal portfolios that will ultimately translate into the real world.

“I have a camera at home, so wherever I go, whenever I travel away from home, I bring the camera,” said junior

Nathan McDaniel. “I love taking pictures. I took pictures of the eclipse, and through the yearbook I was able to edit those photos and create a composite. I was able to use… all the skills that I’ve learned throughout high school and middle school in order to edit photos.”

Students’ work was highlighted April 20 at the annual district wide arts show, Rock the Arts. Some of that artwork will be showcased at Rivet Coffee Bar and Roastery, 337 Jersey St. in Westfield throughout the month of May.

know how to explain it,” Gallego said. “If I see it, I get butterflies. So, this was just an extracurricular, but I knew that I was interested in the art area.”

Gallego said her favorite part of having photography accessible as a class, versus having it only as a hobby, is the opportunity to be creative. She said her favorite subject is landscapes, but she also enjoys portraits and editing.

“There are a lot of resources,” she said. “It’s kind of a break from school, too. The environment is really fun. For people, I like dark (photos). I feel like it’s easier to show emotion that way, just a lot of dramatic shadow. It just creates more mood and persuades people to feel what you want them to feel with your photos.”

For students who participate in yearbook, visual arts classes provide a true perspective into future careers in publishing and design.

“For yearbook, there is no gap between what we’re doing and what you’d be doing as a journalist or as a photojournalist, because that is what we’re doing is making a publication,” Sterling said.

Junior Nathan McDaniel, 16, is the photo editor for yearbook. He said the process of photo selection, layout and publishing the yearbook is as much a job as a class. He’s been involved with yearbook since seventh grade, and said he’s developed a passion for photojournalism.

“For college I’m thinking about going into media and communications programs, so I think this is really helpful to get into that,” McDaniel said. “I like the people and the access to all the programs (at WHS). I’m able to use Photoshop and all the Adobe suites. It’s just really fun to do.”

The students also said they can apply the lessons learned in school to their everyday lives.

“I find myself, even things I learned freshman year, I’m still using,” Swartz said. “Every single time I’m drawing, I take something that I learned here and I’m using it there, and I’m probably going to use that my whole life.”

Future becomes past

Commentary

by Terry Anker

Someone once said that regret is the desire for a better past. They may be right. Still, what is accomplished in pining for a time that never was, a life that wasn’t lived? As we move on in this world, time strips us of our future. One moment we peer at life in the far distance and in the very next instant, the present blasts by us in a blur, leaving only miles of past behind us. For some, we are grasping the wheel, busy keeping our lives in our own lane enroute to our hoped-for destinations. We are seeking a family, career, adventure or fame. Perhaps we hope for them all.

ESSAY

Others see very little on the road ahead and only desire a route back to that which came before. But on this boulevard, there is no offramp. We drive until the route’s end. If all goes well, we will see the sights, have a bit of fun and share the trip along the way. There is no do-over. It could be

that regret is acknowledgement of the irreversibility of the past. What is done cannot be undone. Still, if there are miles ahead of us, why can’t we use the time that we have to build a new past? If our decisions today become our past tomorrow, what choices would we make if we truly desired one filled with as much joy as imagined possible?

Isn’t it remorse that adds a bitter taste to the flavor of regret, and if so, why do we dwell on what we did yesterday instead of what we can do today? If it’s unrepentant remorse that spawns regret, can we atone and set a course that delivers a personal history not so regrettable? The only constant is change. Future becomes past.

Is it the weekend yet?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Friends, this week has been a chore. And not a fulfilling chore like mowing the lawn or scrubbing a disgusting bathroom ‘til it shines pretty. Work was boring, my commute to work doubled and the realization that there are still six more weeks until summer hit hard. Blech.

HUMOR

Occasionally, we schedule movies in our history classes to give teachers time to grade papers. We’ve been studying Vietnam and are heading into the Nixon administration, so we showed “The Post.” Normally, I can crank out essays and tests while keeping one eye on the film. But this year, for four periods in a row, I was consistently drawn into the political drama. Curse you, Meryl Streep, for being so compelling! Anyhoo, I accomplished nothing, which really made the week drag.

And since moving into our oldest’s new house in Indy, my commute went from 12 minutes to 30. I don’t know the roads yet, and every morning Google Maps sends me a different route. I also was forced to drive our youngest’s piece of poo Civic, with no adjustable mirrors or radio and a driver’s side door that won’t stay open. Getting to school, especially when it monsooned, was not the peaceful experience I’ve come to

appreciate.

Finally, my last complaint about inane problems that aren’t actually problems is that our school year doesn’t end until June 3. Meaning I have to come back after Memorial Day and then again after the following weekend. Of course, I’ve known this for a while, but it dawned on me recently that I’m still a good way from summer nirvana. Double blech.

So, yeah, the week was a chore. Peace out.

A brew ha-ha with the car dealer

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I was wrapping up my visit to my local car dealership, but I was having a great deal of trouble deciding. There were so many choices available. What to do?

“I need help making a final decision,” I told the general manager. “This is much harder than it used to be.”

He rattled off a list of his recommended models.

“Wait, I’m not buying a new car,” I said. “I’m waiting for an oil change. I’m talking about your new coffee machine. I’ve never seen anything so complicated in my entire life.”

Years ago, while waiting for a $19.95 oil change, I could treat myself to a newly brewed hot cup of coffee that I poured out of a Pyrex coffee pot. There were no options, no add-ons, no goofy ingredients. If I wanted cream and sugar, there it was. How much I wanted of each was my choice. Life was sweet, like how I wanted my coffee to be.

This new machine baffled me. Despite its relatively small size, it provided a sultan’s harem of choices. But first, it offered a few introductory remarks rolling across the high-tech screen: “Whoever tastes this coffee will be happy every time and everywhere.”

I doubt that would be true for someone who came in for an oil change and then was told they needed a new $6,000 transmission. A good cup of java can only do so much to cheer you up.

Here is another of their screen testimonials: “Perfecting who we are is a never-ending story.”

But I do want the story to end because now I have too many choices — 32 to be exact. Here are some of the options they offer:

Espresso Long: But there was no espresso short or medium offered. This is

“Wait, I’m not buying a new car. I’m waiting for an oil change. I’m talking about your new coffee machine. I’ve never seen anything so complicated in my entire life.”

– DICK WOLFSIE

what happens to me when I buy pants.

Flat White: I hesitated to try something I had just used to paint my living room.

Dirty Chai: I would never call anyone that, not even coffee. There was also Filthy Chai, which seems even more rude.

Premium Instant: Isn’t all coffee pretty instant at a machine? That’s why I’m not waiting in line at Starbucks.

Another option was “hot water.” Like every other selection, it was complimentary. So, the hot water at this dealership is four bucks cheaper than plain hot water at Starbucks.

There were also nitros, listos, lattes and cappuccinos, but I could not find “coffee.” Regular, plain, boring COFFEE. It was still early morning, and I was getting a bit drowsy, so I probably missed seeing it. I simply pressed something called cortado, having no idea what it was. When the brew cooled a bit, I chugged it and headed home. But halfway there, I started to get sleepy and had to pull over.

I need to find another auto dealership. One offering coffee that gets better mileage.

Actors Theatre of Indiana brings Broadway musical parody

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

For Billy Kimmel, the best description of “Forbidden Broadway” is, it’s the musical version of “Saturday Night Live.”

Kimmel will act and direct Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “Forbidden Broadway,” which runs April 26 to May 12 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The show is a revue with a parody of different Broadway musicals.

Kimmel was on the “Forbidden Broadway” tour for approximately 11 years — through five different versions of it.

Kimmel is joined in the four-person cast by ATI Artistic Director Judy Fitzgerald, ATI co-founder Cynthia Collins and Kieran Danaan. Brent Marty will provide the musical accompaniment.

“The show always has four actors, who are singers and dancers,” Kimmel said.

More than 20 shows are represented in 90 minutes.

“So, it’s pretty brisk,” said Kimmel, who is based in New York City.

The biggest challenges are the 10-second costume changes.

“It’s an aerobic workout, too, because it’s like being shot out of a cannon,” Kimmel said.

This is the seventh time Kimmel has directed with ATI, including previous versions of “Forbidden Broadway.”

The last time he directed “Forbidden Broadway” with ATI was in 2019.

“This show has been going on for 40 years off-Broadway and it’s become sort of an institution to the Broadway community and theater lovers,” Kimmel said. “People come to see shows in New York and make room to see if there is an edition playing to see it. Now, it’s a rite of passage for people that become Broadway stars. If you’re lampooned (in the show), then you’ve made it, so to speak.”

Kimmel said every few years, American playwright Gerald Alessandrini would do

an edition and it would run for a year or two. Then Alessandrini took a break to write “Spamilton: An American Parody” in 2014. Kimmel said Alessandrini wrote a new edition in 2019, but it wasn’t out long because of the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down theater shows in March 2020.

“The show is going to make its Broadway debut this summer, which is a huge deal because it’s always been off-Broadway,” Kimmel said. “He’s writing a whole new show for it, and they are going to have past stars in it. They’re going to come in and do cameos.”

Kimmel said there are numbers that are always in the show, such as “The Lion King” and “Les Misérables.”

“We keep them because they are crowd pleasers and they’re sort of the pillars of the show,” Kimmel said. “In between, we’ve changed things out and freshened it up if there is something new on Broadway and it’s more relevant. It’s hard to do Carol Channing anymore because people under 50 don’t really know her anymore.”

One spoof is on “Annie,” which opened on Broadway in 1977.

“The spoof is ‘Annie is now a granny,’”

Kimmel said. “One of the newer ones is ‘Mary Poppins.’ There is a Mary Martin and Ethel Merman bit that we’ve never done.”

Although the show is a parody with some biting jokes, Kimmel said it’s lighthearted fun.

“(Alessandrini) never wanted people to think we hated Broadway. We’re lampooning it because we adore Broadway,” Kimmel said. “He’s a brilliant parody lyricist.” Danaan, a 29-year-old New York City resident, has never performed in “Forbidden Broadway” but he recalled hearing the numbers for the first time when he was around 10 years old. He said the costume changes are difficult, but the hardest part for him is learning all the words.

“It’s costumes on top of costumes,” Danaan said. “It’s all songs we know the Broadway lyrics to, but it’s relearning the songs with the ‘Forbidden Broadway’ lyrics. You only have time to think about what you are doing and then you move on to the next thing. It’s exhausting but it’s so much fun.”

His favorite number is his solo spoofing “Memories” from “Cats.”

NIGHT & DAY ATI season features legends, laughter and love

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Actors Theatre of Indiana will rely on a tried-and-true formula for its 202425 season.

SCHEDULE

“When we were designing the season, it was important to us to do what we do best and what our audiences love most — and that is fun, funny, uplifting musicals,” Associate Artistic Director Darrin Murrell said.

Murrell said. A third is a smaller, newer musical with a mystery.

The last type of show is the large-scale Broadway show that has been scaled down to uniquely fit in the Studio Theater space, Murrell said.

Murrell said the season is dubbed legends, laughter and love.

“We also honed in on four types of shows that ATI has historically done incredibly successfully and has gotten a lot of audience feedback,” Murrell said. “One of those is the jukebox musical, sort of the soundtrack of our lives, so there is one of those in the mix.”

Another type is the Broadway classics reinvented for the Studio Theater stage,

The 2024-25 season begins with “Ring of Fire” from Sept 13-29, featuring the music of the legendary Johnny Cash. That will be followed by “She Loves Me” Nov. 1-17. The 2025 portion includes “Whodunit” Jan. 31 to Feb. 16, 2025, and “9 to 5: The Musical” April 25 to May 11.

“Ring of Fire” will include different actors portraying Cash at different times in his life.

“She Loves Me” started on Broadway in 1963 and was revived in 2016.

“Whodunit” is a murder mystery by longtime Broadway actor and playwright Ed Dixon.

Dolly Parton composed the music for “9 to 5: The Musical,” based on the 1980 movie. For more, visit atistage.org.

CCP to host ‘The Dinner Party’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Tonya Rave has a personal attachment to “The Dinner Party.” The Lawrence resident acted in the production at Center Stage in Lebanon approximately 10 years ago under the direction of Will Pullins, who died in 2018.

PLAY

“I enjoyed this Neil Simon play because it’s not as wellknown as others that are typically done in community theater, and also to honor that director,” Rave said.

Rave is the co-director of Carmel Community Players’ production of “The Dinner Party ‘’ with her friend Matt Trgovac. The performances run from April 26 to May 5 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel. The story involves three divorced couples at the same dinner party.

Rave said. “It’s got some things that border on farce.”

Rave said she worked with Trgovac on another CCP production and decided they wanted to direct together because they have complementary styles.

“It (has) good comedic and dramatic elements to it, so I like a blend of the two,”

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the Center’s Fifth Third Bank Box Office at the Palladium, call 317.843.3800 or visit atistage.org.

“I label it as a poignant comedy,” Trgovac said.

“I prefer to do plays that have a certain message.” Carmel resident Jason Creighton plays Andre.

“It’s a character I don’t get cast in much,” Creighton said. “He’s never comical, even though this is a comedy. He’s a womanizer and business owner, very upper crust. Most of his comedy is sarcasm at the expense of others, so just carrying myself that way and having that air about me is fun to do.”

Indianapolis resident Grant Bowen, plays an aspiring writer named Claude.

“What I love about this show is it’s such a beautiful yet sad story,” Bowen said. For more, visit carmelplayers.org.

IWS celebrates spring

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

As Charles Conrad conducts his penultimate concert as the Indiana Wind Symphony music director, it’s fitting that a new piece of music pays homage to his legacy.

“There is a piece in honor of the fact that I founded the Wind Symphony 27 years ago and the composer David Sartor is going to be conducting,” Conrad said. “We’ve played several of his works and we got a chance to premiere a couple of them.”

Purdue University All-American Marching Band. Conrad is retiring after this season and Gephart will inherit Conrad’s role.

Conrad said composer Mark Wolfram will be in the audience for his piece “Vertical Planes,” which will feature solos by Larry Purdue, French horn; Brian Hoover, trumpet; Mike Villano, trombone; and Bill Schmidt, tuba.

The IWS concert opens with Frank Panella’s “The Polar Sun” from 1908. It also plays a German march, “The Sun Eagle.”

The piece called “Vision” by Sartor, from Nashville, Tenn., will premiere in “Springtime Celebration” at 6:30 p.m. April 28 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“It’s got a mixture of different styles and different textures,” Conrad said of the program.

Conrad is conducting eight pieces while Jay Gephart, who takes over as music director for the 2024-25 season, will conduct three pieces. Gephart is the director of the

Conrad said the pieces were played by IWS April 8 during the City of Carmel Solar Eclipse program.

Two 1924 marches by John Philip Sousa are in the first half of the concert. They are “Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company” and “Marquette University March.”

Other pieces include “Rain Softly on Me” by Julie Giroux and one by French composer Lili Boulanger.

The IWS will close its season May 19 with “Finales and Fanfare.”

Visiting Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple

Commentary by Don

Knebel

In our ongoing tour of Egypt, we continue our stay in and around Luxor, visiting the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, Egypt’s female pharaoh. Hatshepsut was born in 1508 B.C., the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I. After a brief stint as regent for a young male pharaoh, Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh in 1479 B.C. During her reign, she dressed as a man, sometimes wearing a false beard strapped around her head. One of the most successful rulers of her era, Hatshepsut expanded Egyptian trade and engaged in a massive building program that remained unmatched for centuries. Among the many buildings constructed during Hatshepsut’s reign was her mortuary temple, dedicated upon her death in 1458 B.C. The temple, on the west bank of the Nile across from Luxor, is nestled against a limestone cliff and is considered one of the greatest architectural achievements of antiquity because of how well it blended with its surroundings. The 97-foot-tall temple, where Egyptians could worship the deceased Hatshepsut and her father as gods, includes three colonnaded terraces

rising above the desert floor. The upper terrace features statues of Hatshepsut, shown with a false beard. The walls of the temple are adorned with scenes of Hatshepsut and Thutmose with the gods, one showing Hatshepsut’s divine birth. The temple complex also includes shrines to the Egyptian god Anubis and goddess Hathor.

Shortly after Hatshepsut’s death, her successors sought to remove any evidence of her existence, which included defacing her temple images, where her soul was thought to reside. Statues of her at the mortuary temple were damaged and some were destroyed. Twentieth-century archaeologists reconstructed Hatshepsut’s lost reign from images overlooked for destruction. After Christianity came to Egypt, Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple was used as a monastery, which gave rise to its current name, Deir el-Bahari, Arabic for “Monastery of the North.”
