Ahead of Christmas, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office announced a new program, Hope for the LAW ENFORCEMENT Holidays, that allows inmates who meet certain criteria to spend an hour with their children and watch them open presents.

The program was created by BCSO Corrections Sgt. Sam Thompson, who wanted to help families of children whose mothers or fathers are incarcerated in the Boone County Jail.

“I am extremely grateful for how my life has been and everything I have been able to accomplish with the absence of a father figure,” Thompson stated. “Not every child gets that opportunity. Some children are left with pieces left behind by their parents due to the decisions and mistakes they’ve made.”

The Meijer store in Whitestown partnered with the BCSO to purchase gifts for the children. In December 2021, two inmates were selected and were able to watch their children open the presents Dec. 22.

Every inmate in the facility was given an

application for the program. After receiving the completed applications, Thompson and other members of a committee went through each inmate’s background before selecting them for the program.

According to the BCSO, inmates selected for the program are trying to “better themselves and have a positive outlook on their future.” For the full story, visit youarecurrent.com.

Town council approves Zionsville Gateway Area design concept

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com In a 4-2 vote on Dec. 20, the Zionsville Town Council approved a resolution amending the town’s master DEVELOPMENT plan to include a design concept for the Zionsville Gateway Area, a move Town Council President Josh Garrett said was needed because the market hasn’t inspired development in the area for several years.

“For me, in voting in favor of it, I certainly believe in the power of the free market, and I think the free market has spoken in the sense that that area has remained undeveloped ever since the Citgo station closed down,” Garrett said. “If the zoning that existed, if the economics of it was what the market was going to do, something was going to be built on it a long time ago.

Something had to be done.”

Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron has said she envisions the proposed Zionsville Gateway Area as a reimagined entryway into town. The resolution allows for a design concept to be created based on a recent study, outlining what the town would like to see in the area toward the south end of Main Street, near the intersection with Sycamore Street. In 2020, the town gathered public feedback while conducting a ZGA study, which proposed suggestions for the area based on residents’ input. The study’s findings can be viewed at zionsvillegatewayarea.com.

Garrett said the amendment to the master plan provides a “blueprint” for developers who want to propose development in the area. However, the design concept was described as “suggestions” by multiple town officials, meaning other developments can be proposed for the area.

According to the study, major design elements in the concept include “the continuation of 1st Street south past Sycamore Street — connecting to a rerouted South Main Street bent to the west as it crosses Eagle Creek,” creating a pedestrian boulevard in the original location of South Main Street south of Sycamore Street. Also included are designs for an open public area, two- and three-story mixed-use parcels containing retail, office and residential components, a residential parcel with two-story townhomes to the west to act as a transi-

tesy of the Town of Zionsville)

tion to the existing nearby neighborhood in addition to multiple greenspace buffers and trails.

Cara Weber of DELV Design, who was part of the consultant team for the ZGA study, said the ZGA study and development suggestion is “an incredible asset to have an authorship over what happens (in the area) as a whole, as a holistic vision.”

During the Zionsville Town Council’s Dec. 6 meeting, the council voted 4-0 to continue the matter to a future meeting, citing a desire to learn more about the project before

voting. The Town of Zionsville Area Plan Commission unanimously gave a favorable recommendation that the council vote to amend the town’s master plan to include plans for the ZGA. Joining Garrett in voting in favor of the resolution on Dec. 20 were council members Joe Culp, Craig Melton and Brad Burk.

Zionsville Town Council Vice President Josh Plunkett and council member Alexander Choi voted against the resolution. Bryan Traylor, the council’s seventh member, was absent from the meeting.

Missing man found in ‘Christmas miracle’ news@currentinzionsville.com On Christmas day, Boone County Sheriff’s Office bloodhound Chase helped local law enforcement agencies find a POLICE man reported missing in what Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen said was a “Christmas miracle.”

At approximately 8:35 a.m. Dec. 25, public safety agencies from across Indiana received a Silver Alert regarding Allen Jefferis, 84, of Union City. Jefferis’ family reported he had gone missing sometime between 8 and 10 p.m. Dec. 24. Police searched for him from 10 p.m. Dec. 24 to 9 a.m. Dec. 25, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

To help track Jefferis, a member from the Union City command enlisted the help of Boone County Sheriff’s Office’s bloodhound Chase, and his handler, Sgt. Ryan Musgrave.

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Neal Hoard and his bloodhound, Maudie, also assisted. The K-9 teams got a good scent in the backyard of Jefferis’ residence when they arrived and tracked the smell

approximately a quarter mile to the area of an old barn. A search party found Jefferis on the ground in a wooded area, near a creek, thanks to the bloodhounds. He was wet but alive.

Jefferis was taken by medics to a nearby medical facility for treatment.

“Christmas is a time that we spend with families celebrating together and remembering the real meaning of Christmas,” Nielsen stated. “There is no better way to celebrate Christmas than by coming together as a community with Law Enforcement to do a good deed. In this case, the grateful acts of so many saved the life of Mr. Jefferis. My understanding is that there were over 300-400 searchers over the course of the time Mr. Jefferis went missing, this clearly shows how people still care in this sometimes hateful world we live in today.

This K-9 bloodhound program is exactly why we began the program in 2018, to save lives.

God surely blessed this Christmas miracle.

We wish him the best of luck on his recovery and wish him a very Happy New Year.”

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PURCHASE NEW WINDOWS? Assuming you actually NEED new windows (we can help determine that!) the short answer is NOW! Although you would expect that answer from an owner of an Andersen Window and Door Dealer, I do mean it, and here’s why: 1) ALL window companies in my experience, take a price increase in the first quarter of the year. This year many companies took TWICE the increase in the spring, and then a second or even a THIRD increase later in the year. Andersen took two increases that were overall lower than any of our major competitors, but still twice what we were used to. There is not anything on the horizon that I see not to expect another increase in early 2022.

2) Window companies are experiencing the perfect storm in terms of needing to increase prices: record demand; lack of enough labor; supply chain issues with materials needed; cost of labor and materials. When you’re running at peak capacity for instance, there is no reason to lower costs or offer pricing incentives to Dealers like us. Therefore, price inflation in our industry is real and I only see it getting worse, in the short term.

3) Lead times are LONG. If you want your windows installed in early 2022 for instance, NOW would be the time to order, to insure we have the product ready.

4) If you NEED new windows, putting off the replacement can only make matters worse. Since we do a FULL-FRAME REPLACEMENT in most cases, we see what is behind the walls, due to leaky windows…and in many cases, it is not pretty. Due to the general age of wood windows in our market, every year seems to get worse, with the bad stuff we see behind the walls. Wood rot is not something to ignore in your home!

As people worked from home more over the last two years, companies like ours have been blessed with much new business from people who are looking at their old leaky windows a little more closely. Should you be one of them?

Twins double the production for Fishers girls basketball team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hailey and Olivia Smith have always pushed each other to get better on the basketball court.

Sometimes, those pushes came to shoves playing outside at their home.

“There was always a fight,” Hailey said.

“My parents had to come outside because it was coming to a fistfight, or someone is getting yelled at. It’s not as much as it used to be because we know how to control it now.”

The 17-year-old identical twins are junior standouts on the Fishers High School girls basketball team. Prior to the scheduled Dec. 30 game at Frankton, Hailey averaged teamhighs of 11.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game for Fishers (11-3). Olivia was second on the team with averages of 9.7 points and 5.2 rebounds.

“It helps knowing what we’re best at and what we’re not best at,” Olivia said. “We’re competing in practice every day and always pushing each other to do our best in practice and on the court. I focus on attacking.

That’s my strength. One thing I want to (im-

season.

“Hailey does a really great job defensively,” Fishers coach Lauren Votaw said. “A lot of time we charge her with defending the other team’s Hailey best player. She is a good leader through her energy and effort. Olivia is very passionate. Olivia is a little more of a physical player. She does a nice job of defending post players when we need that.

“They both bring a competitiveness and passion for the game that I can’t teach.”

Votaw said both players finish well around the rim.

“Their experience this year has helped because they are really the only players that have played a complete varsity season,” Votaw said. “We’ve relied on them a lot in close games and practice to make sure we’re on the same page.”

Votaw said Olivia is the more vocal player in practice.

“Hailey is often the one that will take over (vocally) on the court in games,” Votaw said. “Their personalities are pretty similar

off the court, but they do have their differences.

They are two unique individuals. Obviously, they have the twin bond. They play very well together.

When they are both on the Olivia court, we are better.”

Hailey missed three games with a concussion.

“My first game was the Noblesville game, so I had a lot of excitement going into that game,” Hailey said.

Fishers upset then-Class 4A No. 1 Noblesville 57-43 Dec. 10.

Olivia said each day the team is getting better.

“We’re sticking together on and off the court and creating bonds and connections,” Olivia said. “January is going to set where we can be in February (postseason) as a team.”

Hailey and Olivia each have offers from Western Michigan. They said they hope to play together in college.

Recalling white Christmases Commentary by Ward Degler Thanks to Bing Crosby, the whole world dreams of a white Christmas. But unless you live in a place like JuPLAIN TALK neau, Alaska, there are no guarantees.

This year, our Christmas was a balmy 65 degrees. Last year, we had snow. Seattle, where two of my daughters live, had 3 inches on the ground Christmas Day, and it was still coming down. My son-in-law claims it was the first white Christmas there in 100 years.

When I lived in Minnesota, we were pretty much assured of snow on the ground for Yuletide. In the winter of ’78; however, the snow started falling on Thanksgiving and didn’t stop until it was 5 feet deep in my driveway.

And since I lived on a farm, my driveway was long. It took an hour for me to plow the whole thing out with my old Massey-Harris tractor.

It wasn’t until the next morning that I realized I had made a huge mistake. When I plowed, I piled the snow on the windward side of the drive. When I looked out over my coffee cup the next morning, the drive was full again.

Not only did I have to plow my drive every morning after that, I also had to plow a half-mile of the county road in order to get to the highway. By the time February rolled around that year, I had decided to strap a snow shovel to the hood of my car and head south. I figured when I reached a place where someone asked what that thing was, that’s where I would settle.

I didn’t go far enough south, it turns out.

The next winter in Indiana, we had heavy snows, and we got drifted in more than once.

When I was a kid growing up in Missouri, everybody hoped for a white Christmas — none more than the kids who got sleds for Christmas. When it was warm and balmy, you could drive down the street and see kids looking wistfully at the sky while holding their new sleds at the ready.

I guess a white Christmas is something we will always look forward to. For me, I’ll just turn on the TV and listen to Bing Crosby.

Project: C.R. 300 S. corridor project CONSTRUCTION Location: The town has partnered with the Boone County Highway Dept. to conduct a corridor study along C.R. 300 S. from C.R. 800 E. to the Boone/Hamilton County line.

The purpose of this study is to identify a preliminary scope and a potential design of future road widening and intersection improvements considering feasibility, costs, impacts to properties, environmental concerns and bridge needs.

Estimated completion: While there is one known bridge replacement project planned within the next four years, there are no identified intersection or road projects at this time. The information learned from this study will initially guide bridge design as these structures are maintained and replaced as needed.

Project: Templin Road Bridge reconstruction Location: The shoulder of this bridge is closed. The Templin Road bridge over Eagle Creek was inspected and an engineering firm has been hired by the Boone County Highway Department to work on design of a complete bridge replacement.

Estimated completion: Construction will start in 2022.

CARMEL Project: Range Line Road reconstruction Location: 116th Street to Carmel Drive. The initial phase affects the right southbound lane of Range Line Road as crews replace a water main. Work will stop for the winter and resume in mid-March 2022 with construction of a roundabout at Medical Drive followed by construction of a roundabout at 116th Street.

Expected completion: Summer 2022 Project: Transmission and water utility work Location: Veterans Way between The Cat Theatre and 1st Street SW. Partial closures will occur but access to all addresses will be maintained.

Expected completion: The four-phase project, which will later impact other areas, is expected to be complete by May 2022.

WESTFIELD Project: Jersey Street Location: Jersey Street between Union Street and Mill Street Expected completion: With the opening of Grand Junction Plaza, the road is now open.

Former professional player assists with ZCHS’s growing club team

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com After playing rugby professionally for a United Kingdom club and coaching the Zambia national team, Jean-Jacques Oelofse’s passion for the sport has led him to Zionsville, where he now is an assistant coach for Zionsville Community High School’s rugby team.

Oelofse, 46, was born in South Africa and attended an all-boys school, Westville Boys High. He went on to play rugby professionally for the United Kingdom’s Leicester Tigers. The Oelofse Tigers were the defending Heineken Champions Cup champions when he joined the club.

For Oelofse, the experience was a chance to play with and against the world’s top players.

“Rugby is one of the most popular sports in South Africa,” Oelofse said. “Every young guy starts playing rugby as soon as he can walk, so the first gift you get is a rugby ball.

It’s played a huge part in my life. My father and my family have a strong history in rugby. I always had aspirations to play as high as I could. Then I had the opportunity to go across the U.K. to play for Leicester.”

Oelofse stopped playing professionally when he was 27, but he found other ways to stay involved in the sport.

After Oelofse’s playing days ended, he moved to Zambia and began coaching a local rugby team. It started playing against professional teams in Zambia and enjoyed some success. The rugby union in Zambia took notice and asked him to coach the country’s national team, which he did for one year before returning to South Africa.

For the past 10 years, Oelosfe has worked for Wood-Mizer, and two years ago he was tapped to be the company’s corporate director of emerging markets. The new position required him to work out of Indianapolis, so he and his family moved to Zionsville.

“I have a big passion for rugby and working with young men and women trying to (make sure) they have a safe environment to learn about rugby,” Oelosfe said. “So, I started to look around for a local club, and I reached out to Jeffrey Russell, who is the president of the (ZCHS) club, and he invited me over to come and see what is going on,

and I started getting involved last year.

Halfway through the season, I got involved with the rugby club, and we started having some success toward the end of last season against some of the bigger clubs, like Westfield.”

Russell, the team’s head coach, said Oelosfe was a “godsend.”

“J.J. has coached and managed rugby at a much higher level than I have ever been a part of, so when he reached out, I was defi-

nitely happy to bring him on board,” Russell said. “He does have a kind of mentality that is just so charismatic, and he is completely magnetic. These kids love him to death because he has so much energy and he (coaches) in a positive way, without yelling or berating them.”

Since joining the team and working with the students at ZCHS, Oelosfe’s love for the sport has been rekindled. Because of the players’ enthusiasm, he is confident the

GROWING NUMBERS The Zionsville Community High School’s rugby team started small in 2003 under then-coach Larry Scheller, but it has since grown and aims to continue doing so, ZCHS rugby head coach Jeff Russell said.

The high school team has started preseason training for the 2022 spring season and is actively recruiting new players to join the approximately 40 students currently on the roster.

Russell, who took over as the team’s head coach in 2020, started raising awareness for the club on social media, and prospective players and coaches began to reach out. Russell said JeanJacques Oelofse was one of those people.

“People have come out of the wood-

work in the last 18 months and have offered to help,” Russell said. “And I’ve accepted that help gladly because running this program with just the three (coaches) we started out with is really hard to do.”

Russell and Oelofse are confident the team is positioned for success and say it will be inclusive, offering opportunities for all ZCHS students who’d like to play.

“Unlike in other sports, there is a position for any person — doesn’t matter how tall they are, how short they are (or) how fast they are,” Oelofse said. “There are multiple different positions within rugby, and everybody actually gets to play ball.”

program will be competitive against the best teams in the state in the coming years.

“I’m really happy with the players and the coaches,” Oelosfe said. “There is a lot of energy and commitment from the people who are a part of the club.”

Oelosfe said rugby is like life in that “the more you put in, the more you’ll get out.”

And being able to instill the same values he learned as a young man in a younger generation has brought him joy.

“We have a mantra at the club, which is ‘Embrace the (hard work),’” Oelosfe said.

“And why we say that is because nothing comes easy. The harder you work, the better you will be. I think the thing that rugby teaches you is that hard work pays off. It teaches teamwork and endurance. These are all great attributes to learn through sport that will help you in life.”

Oelosfe credits rugby with teaching him some of the most important lessons he’s learned in life.

“I think a lot of my success comes down to the lessons I’ve learned from rugby — about respect, about working in a team and working hard, and recognizing you fail sometimes, but it’s about how you get up again,” he said.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Legacies of the living

For crying out loud

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The holidays bring with them a raft of nostalgia. We watch old movies and eat meals concocted from long-lost recipes.

There is something in all of us — well most of us, anyway — that holds on dearly to our remembered past. Some cultures have built significant religious theology upon this remembrance, some might argue, like worship of ancestors.

Closer to home, our landscape abounds with prominent bits of real estate filled with stone monuments, many of which bear the names of long-forgotten members of our community. In all cases, the granite carvings will extend many decades longer than the lifespan of even the oldest human whose passing was memorialized by the tombstone. Why do we long for permanence still knowing that none exists?

We commemorate government buildings, streets and rock formations with names of our dead. Ostensibly, the deceased did something special, extra-contributory, or even great. Good. There are exemplars among us. Still, as we tear down statues and rename creeks traversing campuses, one is led to wonder if our pride in these many actions also will someday be judged as misplaced. Do we control the narrative of what others may think? Should we attempt it? Could we imagine a future generation looking at the effects of our contribution and determining it to have been harmful? Does it matter, or is it the challenge of each generation to reshape the works of those past into their own storyline?

Must we act to save the world, or are we just seeking change for its own sake? Is it better to have the creek named after us? Perhaps knowing the difference, if there is one, is the trick. If there is a legacy that matters, isn’t it in the people and ideas that we care about while living? Cheers to 2022!

Friends, the end of an era is nigh.

This month marks the beginning of my last season as a dance mom, as my daughter will be graduating in May and heading off to college without her jazz shoes. “I’m not crying, you are!”

And you should be. For almost 10 years now, I have drawn on my substantial powers of observation to report on the often hilarious and always tawdry world of competitive youth dance. From the dressing-room drama to tales of tarted-up toddlers, I’ve entertained hundreds, perhaps millions, of readers through my all-access pass as a Dance Mom. What will I write about now? There’s simply no other arena that will give me reason to publically shame the costume choices of clearly terrible parents and make catty remarks on stupid judges who award stupid scores and who can’t possibly know more than me, earner of a B in freshman ballet. Where else will I utilize my admittedly small cache of survival skills to emerge sane after 48 hours of 96 identical contemporary routines at a local high school performing arts center with nothing but stale popcorn, online sudoku and an ibuprofen-Aleve cocktail to keep me going?

The answer is “nowhere.” Being a dance mom has allowed me entrance into an unbelievable world of humanity, where relationships and questionable choices and an ungodly amount of hairspray intermingle to create a literary treasure trove of topics. Unless my husband Doo suddenly decides to train for the maniac sport of Olympic curling, I can’t imagine I’ll ever have the kind of column fodder I’ve enjoyed as a dance mom.

Maybe I’m crying, too.

Peace out.

As I reported when I turned 50, AARP slipped my membership kit under my front door at the stroke of midnight. I hadn’t thought much about getting old until I bent over to pick up the brochure from the floor and couldn’t get my spine to straighten back up.

I turn 75 in March. I remember at my 30th birthday party someone gave me a wooden cane with a horn on it. Yes, that was very funny at the time. Ha ha. I wish I hadn’t thrown it away. It would come in very handy now.

I went into a gift store the other day to look for birthday cards specifically for people of my vintage. I have several friends from college and high school who will be turning 75 in 2022. Sadly, there were more turning 70 five years ago, if you get my drift.

to grab onto moving bars. Businesses used to offer discounts for those 65 and over, then it was 60. Then 55, and 50. Instead of lowering the age of eligibility, they should institute a super-senior discount for folks over 75. I’d get in line for that — once I find another cane with a horn.

Resolutions for your feet Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan The New Year is here, and many are ready to follow through with resolutions to exercise. Starting a new PODIATRY sport or fitness program is a great way to drop weight or to improve your cardiovascular health.

But when you try a new exercise or start exercising more, you put lots of pressure on your feet. Follow these four important tips to avoid injuries.

WEAR SHOES DESIGNED FOR THE EXERCISE OR SPORT Athletic shoes that support your arch and cushion the heel are best to wear. To avoid twists and sprains, select shoes that offer ankle support. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that one shoe works for all activities. While shoe shopping, ask for advice based on your new activity. Orthotics may also help provide extra support. Have your feet measured and wear the proper size for the best comfort and fit.

START NEW WORKOUTS GRADUALLY Stretch or warm up for your workout and start new exercise routines gradually. We

recommend increasing your exercise intensity by only 10 percent each week. If your feet do get sore, use rest, ice, compression and elevation (R.I.C.E.).

PROTECT YOUR FEET FROM BACTERIA Public showers at the gym are breeding grounds for bacteria, including resistant strains like MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Never go barefoot in public areas and cover cuts and cracks in the skin or ingrown toenails. If you have a cut or scrape that gets infected and it’s not healing in a timely manner, contact our office to have it checked out.

Klush will be a featured performer in Elvis tribute show at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Shawn Klush admired the singing style of Elvis Presley at an early age.

“Every kid when they are MUSIC young grabs a broomstick or a bat and stands in front of the mirror,” Klush said. “It’s either to (mimc) Elvis Presley, Tom Jones or The Beatles and Kiss. I didn’t realize there was a life around that. I love it and I still love it.”

Klush will be one of the featured performers in the “Elvis Tribute: Artist Spectacular” at 7 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The concert celebrates what would have been Presley’s 86th birthday Jan. 8. Presley died in 1977 at age 42.

“It’s a high-energy show that takes you through Elvis’ life musically,” Klush said.

“We go up from Sun Records to ‘Suspicious Minds,’ ‘Burning Love’ and ‘My Way.’ Come out and leave the inhibitions behind.”

Cody Ray Slaughter will perform as Presley in black leather from the 1968 TV comeback special. Ryan Pelton will perform Presley’s songs from the movie years and when he was in the military. A surprise guest will perform songs when Presley first started.

Special guests include the Blackwood Quartet, members of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. All performers are backed up by The Fabulous Ambassadors and The Nashville Dreams, the female backup singers.

Klush, 52, has been performing as Elvis for 28 years.

“I’m more prone to the jumpsuit stuff because that’s what I remember as a child,” he said. “The quality of Elvis tones, to this day, it’s fresh.”

Klush’s favorite song is “If I Can Dream,” adding that he doesn’t even sing in this show.

Klush is Elvis Presley Enterprises’ first Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist and was the winner of BBC television’s “World’s Greatest Elvis.”

“We usually hit Australia and the U.K.

and across the U.S.,” Klush said. “We just got home from the U.K. We did 11 sold-out shows over there. It’s nice to go over there because it’s Beatles land, and to see the uprising of Elvis fans — even The Beatles were Elvis fans — that’s what is cool.”

Klush performed as Presley in “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” in a CBS miniseries and in the HBO series “Vinyl.” He is now doing an FX show, “What We Do in the Shadows,” a mockumentary comedy horror series where he plays Presley as a vampire.

Klush, who lives outside Scranton, Pa.,

has worked for “Legends in Concert” for Myrtle Beach, S.C., Branson, Mo., Las Vegas and Atlantic City showrooms. He mostly performed in Myrtle Beach.

“When you do the same seven songs for 10 years, you kind of get (to where) when you do your own shows, (it’s) I’m not doing any of those songs,” Kush said of the “Legends in Concerts.”

Marking the midpoint in a season of surprises Commentary by Jeffrey C. McDermott For our people at the Center for the Performing Arts, the holidays are a brief respite at the midpoint of the arts VIEWPOINT season, a time to reflect on the first half and look forward to coming events. We needed it (I hope you enjoyed yours).

After our year-plus pivot to online programming while touring entertainment was on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we announced our 2021-22 season last spring with great enthusiasm and a full calendar of Center Presents performances. The audience demand was clear — subscription sales took off at record pace.

As summer turned to fall, we all learned about the “delta variant.” Artists were eager to get back on the road but concerned for their touring teams, and they understandably began adding pandemic protocols to their contracts. In the fall, like most live entertainment presenters across the country, the Center announced masking and vaccine/testing requirements for employees and patrons. It was not only the right thing to do for the community, but also the only way to continue presenting top national and international artists for full-capacity audiences.

The vast majority of our patrons have taken the protocols in stride, happy to get back to live gatherings with an all-in-thistogether attitude. Many told us they were relieved and felt safer returning to the venues with those protections in place. We’ve also heard some colorful feedback that our staff has handled with professionalism and grace.

Nonetheless, the season’s first half

John Legend performed in front of full Palladium Oct. 20. (Photo courtesy of Center for the Performing Arts)

has been a great success in terms of the Center’s mission: To engage and inspire the central Indiana community through enriching arts experiences. People of all ages have been enjoying our educational and experiential programs, not to mention soldout shows for the likes of John Legend, Ben Folds, Postmodern Jukebox, Dave Koz and David Sedaris.

Now, we look ahead to the second half — and the 2022-23 season we’ll be announcing in the spring. Yes, uncertainties remain, and now there’s something called “omicron.”

Let’s hope we don’t have to work through the entire Greek alphabet, but please know that the Center will stay on mission. We hope you will join us.

Examining the definition of art Commentary by Randy Sorrell What’s your definition of art? The world’s expert on everything, Google, claims that art is “the expression VIEWPOINT or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture.”

NFT? Google’s art definition makes sense, and I value the cave-dwellers narrative. But how does an NFT suddenly occupy this space called art? NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, are pieces of digital content linked to the blockchain, the digital database supporting cryptocurrencies. Fungible means the item can be replaced by another identical item.

So, NFT is a piece of digital art that can’t be reproduced.

A visit to Mexico’s stunning Cabo San Lucas Commentary by Don Knebel Today, we will visit Cabo San Lucas, which, together with nearby San José del Cabo, defines the municipal TRAVEL region known as Los Cabos, Mexico.

In 1974, the Mexican government began promoting international tourism throughout the Los Cabos area, including building a coastal highway between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Today, the coast between those cities is lined with hotels, condominiums and timeshare units. Los Cabos attracts about 2 million visitors a year, most from the United States and Canada.

Cabo Wabo, a private nightclub famous for its own brand of handmade tequila, was founded in 1990 by Sammy Hagar, a member of the rock group Van Halen, who named the club after the band’s 1988 hit. Cruise ships routinely stop for the day in Cabo, which is now among Mexico’s five most popular destinations.

er Pacific Ocean on the other side. Boat tours from the marina take visitors close to the arch, where they can often see resting sea lions and sunbathers.

Unlike the tranquil and even quaint San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas is famous for its shopping, dining opportunities and nightlife. The three-story Puerto Paraiso Mall, adjacent to the marina, encompasses more than 12 acres of floor space, featuring
