Kitchel doubles her fun at state finals

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School sophomore Devon Kitchel couldn’t stop smiling, for STATE CHAMP good reason.

Kitchel was the only swimmer to win two individual events at the Feb. 15 IHSAA Girls Swimming & Diving State Finals at the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI. Kitchel won the 200-yard individual medley in 1:59.47 and the 100 butterfly in 54.04.

“I had so much fun at this meet,” Kitchel said. “I really wasn’t too worried about placing. Whatever was going to happen was going to happen.

I was proud of our team. In general, we all got behind each other and did our best.”

Kitchel was seeded No. 1 in both events from the Feb. 14 preliminaries.

“In swimming, it’s easy to get caught up in the pressure,” Kitchel said. “But I talked to my teammates and coaches about enjoying the mo-

ment, staying loose and doing the best that I can.”

Kitchel was pleased with her showing in both races.

“I think in the IM I felt a bit more in control throughout the race,” Kitchel said.

As a freshman, Kitchel finished 10th in the 200 IM and 11th in the 100 but-

terfly at the state finals.

“Freshman year I really got caught up with the pressure of the seedings and what my time was going to be,” she said. “This year, I just wanted to have fun and see how fast I could go. I don’t think (winning) has sunk in yet.”

Kitchel was on Zionsville’s thirdplace 400 freestyle relay and sixthplace 200 medley relay.

“Individual events are great, but swimming with three of your best friends, going fast all together, is awesome,” she said.

Zionsville coach Scott Kubly said Kitchel is the team’s first girls swimmer to win two individual titles in the state finals.

“She had a great weekend,” said Kubly, whose team placed seventh.

“She’s a great leader, works hard in the pool and we’re lucky to have her for two more years.”

Eagles junior Elyse Heiser placed fourth in the 100 backstroke and fifth in the 200 freestyle and joined Kitchel on both relays.

A shocking overseas travel experience Commentary by Ward Degler Those of you who have traveled abroad know that much of the world uses 220-volt electricity. To use your American hair dryer, PLAIN TALK you need one of those handy-dandy converter things that reduces 220 to 110. An easy fix.

On the other hand, some places beyond our borders have good old American-style 110-volt electricity. But this often comes in 50-hertz current instead of good old American-style 60-hertz current.

For your hair dryer, that just means it will hum along at a medium whir instead of a high-pitched whir. For other devices, however, it’s complicated.

When I was in the Army – back in the dark ages of my youth – I was stationed in Germany at the big American hospital in Landstuhl. To keep some flavor of civilian life, I rented a small apartment in a nearby village.

That part of Germany had 110-volt, 50-hertz electricity. That meant I could plug in my American record player and my American alarm clock without that converter thing.

While I did notice playing Peggy Lee at 50 hertz made her sound like Vic Damone, it never dawned on me that my American alarm clock also would slog along at Vic Damone-speed.

The first night I spent in my new apartment, I dutifully set my alarm for 6 a.m. so that I could get to the

base by 8 a.m. Easy peasy. But when I wandered into work an hour late, I realized something was amiss. At 50 hertz, my clock traveled only 50 minutes every hour instead of 60.

I was never very good at math, but I was able to figure out that if I went to bed at midnight, I would have to set my clock ahead exactly one hour if I expected it to wake me up on time.

For the next two years, I dutifully advanced my clock every night and got used to the Andrews Sisters sounding like the Ames Brothers. But when I got back home, I was amazed to discover that Stan Kenton didn’t actually sound like a slow-motion train wreck.

Later on, I used my experience in the Battle of the Hertzes to wire the new addition to my house. Of course, by then I also was dealing with amperes and ohms in addition to volts and hertzes.

I’m not sure what those other things do, and to explain them, I’d also have to get into things like hysteresis losses and eddy current losses, and I don’t know what they are, either. The good news is, I don’t have to set my clock ahead every night.

Zionsville woman selected for leadership program

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Presidential Leadership Scholars program recently announced that Indiana Youth Institute President and CEO SCHOLAR Tami Silverman has been selected as one of 60 scholars chosen for the program’s sixth annual class.

PLS brings together a network of leaders to collaborate and encourage them to make a difference Silverman in their communities as they learn about leadership through the lens of the presidential experiences of George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Lyndon B. Johnson.

A Zionsville resident, Silverman saw an advertisement for the program on LinkedIn and was intrigued. She completed the application process with the goal of becoming a better leader.

“I think the idea of having a nonpartisan civic engagement leadership program is appealing to a lot of folks,” Silverman said. “How do we engage on a leadership level to benefit everyone in our communities? It’s a wildly unique experience.”

Since taking her position in 2016, Silverman has

worked with IYI’s board of directors to determine the institute’s direction while also serving as it’s spokesperson. IYI, for the last three decades, has supported youth services with trainings, data and services.

Silverman has spearheaded efforts to update its’s response to the field of youth service with a strategic plan that was introduced in 2017, in addition to overseeing an organizational redesign, an update of internal technology and a revamp of the organization’s approach to outreach and engagement.

“It’s a wildly unique experience.”

— Indiana Youth Institute President and CEO Tami Silverman This year’s class of scholars was selected based on their leadership growth potential and individual leadership initiatives aimed at improving things such as civic engagement and social good in their community.

During the next six months, the scholars will travel to participating presidential centers to learn from former presidents, key former administration officials, business and civic leaders and leading academics. The program aims to instill scholars by the end of the six months with the ability to implement varying approaches to leadership to help them positively impact their communities.

The program started in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 28. The class joins an active network of 298 scholars who are implementing the lessons learned through the program in their communities.

Some examples of the scholar-led efforts include providing employment and mentorship to veterans; helping adjudicated youth improve their job skills and attain a positive self-image; empowering clinicians to speak with patients about safe storage of firearms; and deploying needed resources in the wake of natural disasters.

Since the program began in 2015, 91 percent of participants reported their sense of confidence or purpose as a leader changed since beginning PLS, and 96 percent indicated their exposure to and appreciation of a wider variety of perspectives increased, according to PLS. “I think it is challenging to just think bigger and to think in an innovative way and to consider great ideas and practices from all different sectors, not just the nonprofit sector, because there are things we can learn from the education sector and from business and from government,” Silverman said.

“And making all those connections and continuing to remind ourselves that there is a lot of good work going on out there, it’s just a matter of us opening our eyes, learning a little more and connecting.”

County Road project estimated to cost $50 million

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Initial estimates for a Boone County construction project were set at just more COMMISSIONERS than $50 million at a recent Boone County Commissioners meeting.

The commissioners heard preliminary plans for improvements to C.R.

300 S. from John Beery, project manager at Beam, Longest and Neff, LLC. Based on his previous work with other municipalities on similar projects, Beery said he expected the project to take at least 15 to 20 years to reach substantial completion.

The project will widen C.R. 300 S. to four lanes between C.R. 800 E. to C.R. 1200 E. The project also will include the addition of a multi-use trail on one side of the road and calls for

construction on three Boone County bridges and four culverts.

Beery said cost estimates includes a base-cost contingency of 20 percent.

The project will be split into several phases, the first of which, 146th Street in Hamilton County, will be ready for bids sometime after summer. County officials expect improvements to the corridor will create better traffic flow and opportunities for economic development

ahead of multiple upcoming housing developments.

“The pressure is going to be on,” commissioner Tom Santelli said. “You are looking at a 15- to 20-year time frame to get this done. But then, going over to the new development – the 2,000-acre development south of Lebanon, where you are looking at as many as 8,000 homes – we have to get out ahead of the traffic needs in our area.”

Company names Zionsville safest community in nation

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com A neighborhood analysis company has named Zionsville the safest community in America.

The company, NeighSTATS borhoodScout, used crime information reported by the FBI and community residential numbers to compile a list of the 100 safest communities in the United States with populations of at least 25,000.

The figures came from the 2018 calendar year data because the FBI releases its yearly data analysis in their final, nonpreliminary form almost a full year after the end of a calendar year.

Violent crimes calculated in the analysis included burglary, larceny/ theft, motor vehicle theft, homicide, rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault.

Zionsville, with 27,153 residents, registered only 2.2 violent crimes per 1,000 residents, according to the site. The site also listed a resident’s chance of being a victim of a violent crime as 1 in 439. According to 2018 FBI data, no violent crime incidents were reported to Zionsville law enforcement.

Zionsville Police Dept. Division Commander Capt. Robert Musgrave attributes Zionsville’s low violent crime to proactive policing.

“The guys on the streets are not just out there driving around in circles,” Musgrave said. “We had over 1,000 traffic stops in just the month of January this year already. You can

see they’re out there doing something, whether it’s traffic warnings, whether it’s a traffic citation, they are out there. They are busy. When people come into Zionsville, they see a police car, and they see a police car with its lights on.

“I think that contributes a lot to our low crime rate. It’s a deterrent when you come to Zionsville.”

The majority of crime reported in Zionsville in 2018 was nonviolent theft, such as burglary, motor vehicle theft and theft/larceny, according to FBI data. Property crime and larceny were the most common crimes, with 60 and 52 incidents reported by law enforcement, respectively. Carmel, while having a larger population – just more than 94,000 residents – reported more than 600 incidents of property crime and larceny each. It also had 43 violent crimes reported to law enforcement in 2018, according to FBI data.

“We have a very active community.

Our community is very involved with our police department,” Musgrave said. “If they see something, they are very prone to say something. They will call us and give us information so that when we go to the area to respond, we have something to look for. And that certainly increases our contacts and our results in arrests when we get to the area.

“I think we are very blessed, very privileged to live in Zionsville and live in the community that we do, that supports our police department, and we, in turn, support them. We work for them.”

Oh, deer! Shoppers get a wildlife shock

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com A deer ran into the Kroger store in Boone Village Feb. 16, startling customers.

Von Dan, who also goes STATS

by Brigitte, said she was shopping that evening for popsicles and salmon with her two children, Mia, 4, and Connor, 9, and her mother, Nicole Vu, when Dan saw a large animal gallop through the store.

At first, Dan thought it was a German shepherd. She shielded her children when it came near them. That’s when she realized the animal was a deer.

Dan said the deer was panicked and searching for a way out of the store. Kroger employees tried to herd the deer into a corner of the store, Dan said, but the deer escaped.

Police responded and tried to corral the deer as customers, including Dan, took video and pictures of it dashing from aisle to aisle. Dan told Vu to keep her children behind a shopping cart

while she tracked the deer.

Dan said the deer then moved toward her mother and children, but then leaped over the meat counter, hitting its face on a scale. Dan said she could see the deer was bleeding from what looked like its nose after hitting the scale.

“We were just so sad thinking about her bleeding nose,” Dan said. “I felt the fear. She was very scared.”

A police officer tried to restrain the deer, Dan said, but it was too strong, broke free and ran out of the store.

Camp Invention, a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, provides a unique experience for children to make discoveries about the importance of intellectual property while exploring, creating and designing, Torisky said.

“Each year, the program features a new curriculum inspired by some of our nation’s greatest inventors — the NIHF Inductees,” Torisky said. “For 2020, the Elevate curriculum features video challenges from these Inductees encouraging children to be confident in their ideas and explore their ability to innovate.”

What follows are descriptions of the hands-on modules: • Camp Invention Flight Lab: Imaginations soar as children learn about flight with gliders, rockets, heliballs and hand-copters. They build a cityscape from upcycled materials, navigate

planes through a storm and take apart a robot.

• Design Thinking Project: Campers learn the value of their creativity as they bring their biggest ideas to life. To become successful innovators, they create sketches, build prototypes, design logos and learn how to pitch their inventions.

• Rescue Squad: Using teamwork and problem-solving skills, children protect Earth’s ecosystems. Inspiring activities include creating pods to compete in zip line races, exploring energy conservation, eliminating pollution and more.

• Camp Invention Champions: As they discover the unseen inventors behind their favorite sports, campers apply their own ingenuity. They trade inventor playing cards, create and play their own high-energy hover ball games and design and build the ultimate sports complex.

Campers learn to sail at the Indianapolis Sailing Club’s summer camp.

(Submitted photo)

Students set sail at ISC summer camp

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Indianapolis Sailing Club, 11325 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis, once again is offering summer GEIST camps teaching beginners, intermediate and advanced sailors how to sail or improve their skills.

The club is offering 6 1/2 weeks of camps, with the first half-week set aside exclusively for advanced sailors.

The remaining six weeks are for beginners, intermediate and advanced sailors.

“The nice thing about our camp is we break them up to beginner, intermediate and advanced groups and by age, so they can build on each other,” office manager Michelle Sarber said.

“We have beginners in every week, so you don’t have to know how to sail to come and hang out and learn.”

The camps are designed for ages 8 to 17. The club also offers a program with the sailing ranking system.

“You start as a senior recruit. Kids can choose to do this and they don’t have to, but as you learn, it builds

on itself and they get a ribbon and a certificate,” Sarber said. “That’s one of the reason kids come back year after year is to participate in that, too. There are seven rankings, and the end goal is to be a regatta skipper, and that is expert sailing skills. They can race and manage a boat on their own.”

Camps are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each weekday. Weeklong camps begin June 8 and run through July 24.

Cost for a weeklong camp is $400 for nonmembers and $250 for members.

Discounts for multiple weeks or multiple kids are available. Kids bring their own lunch, lifejacket and towel. The sailing club provides boats and safety gear.

“We also have safety boats on the water all the time. There is a 1-to-3 ratio of staff to campers,” Sarber said.

“We sail with them if they need to, but a lot of them sail by themselves.

That’s how they learn best, but we are always on the water on safety boats.”

To register, visit indianapolissailing. org and print the camper form and return it to the club with a check.

Westfield Washington Township will open registration for its summer camps at 9 a.m. April 13. TownSUMMER ship Education Director Kristy White said many of the camps fill up on the first day.

Camps range in themes and are offered for preschool ages and ages 6 to 8 and 9 to 11.

“This is my 13th summer for camps,” White said. “When we started, we started just for preschool age because I found there was a need in the community for that. We started with Wild and Wacky and cooking, and I tried to do good, old, wholesome camp fun – tie-dying and being outside as much as possible.”

White eventually began offering camps for older children at the request of parents.

University camps feature arts, culture, sports and STEM

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Each year, University High School welcomes any student from any elementary, middle or high school to take part in Summer U, the school’s SUMMER annual camp series that spans two summer sessions and eight weeks.

With a focus on sports, STEM and skill-building, the 27 different camps vary widely.

“New this year, we have a French culture and language camp that is offered for two age ranges,” said Nila Nealy, summer programs coordinator at University High School. “And we are offering a board games camp as a low-tech partner to some of our returning hightech camps.”

In Summer Session 1, kids and parents can choose from 19 different camps. Sports camps include “Square 1” and “Multi-Sport” through a partnership with Indiana Primetime Sports.

A food science camp will blend STEM and skill-building. For students in grades 5 through 8, the weeklong camp will explore the science behind cooking.

“This camp is a version of our popular high school for-credit course that was offered during January term and includes hands-on food preparation to illustrate the science principles,” Nealy said.

University High School’s annual Summer U camp is open to all students, grades 1 through 12 in June and July.

(Submitted photo)

Other camp options focused on creativity in Summer Session 1 include “Write Better in One Week,” “Film Production” and “Creative Writing,” among others.

In Summer U’s second summer session, “Square 1” and “Multi-Sport” will be offered each week from July 6 to July 24.

Summer Session 2 also will offer camps on strategy and STEM, including “Board Games,” “Thinking Mathematically,” “Game Design” and “Minecraft Coding & 3-D Printing,” among others.

Camp Purple returns

Our Gym is a Lot Like Summer Camp…

Fond memories, new friendships, guided fun, learning in a safe environment and movement toward a lifetime of activity.

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Since 2011, Guerin Catholic High School in Noblesville has been home to Camp Purple.

Each summer, PROGRAMS the program offers a variety of athletic and enrichment camps open to any child entering kindergarten through eighth grade at the start of the 2020-21 school year.

“Since we’re a high school, we’re opening up our school in the summer,” Camp Purple Director Jill Folstrom said. “Our current students who are part of the Camp Purple Club are our counselors.”

Folstrom said when Camp Purple began, school administrators perceived a lack of faith-based summer camp offerings for families.

“Last year, we had 715 campers registered, but in terms of total campers, there were 936 throughout the whole summer,” Folstrom said. “It’s all on the Guerin Catholic campus, so parents can pick up and drop off there.

Ninety percent of our camps are halfday camps, but there are a couple of camps that are full day.”

Folstrom said Guerin’s most popular camps are its STEM camps, which are full day, and six Minecraft camps.

“A new camp that’s exciting is our farming camp. It’s called Farming Vegetables and Working for Justice,” she said. “One of our high school teachers will be teaching it, and we just got that approved to be a class for next year’s curriculum.”

CAMPS AT A GLANCE • Registration: Opens March 1 at guerincatholic.org/ summer-camps.

• Schedule: Weekly camps between June 8 and July 20 • Cost: $90 for athletic camps and $125 for enrichment camps

Camp Crosser, Club Daybreak return

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville will bring back two of its popular summer activities, BOYS AND Club Daybreak and GIRLS CLUB Camp Crosser. Both are open to club members.

Camp Daybreak is from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, from June 8 to July 31. It has three daily sessions – 7:30 to 11 a.m., 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. The early and late sessions are $9 and the middle session is free for club members.

Club Daybreak, for ages 6 to 12, is offered at the Boys & Girls Club, 1700 Conner St. “Registration spots are not limited for that, and that consists of all sorts of different educational activities, open space where they can explore our computer lab and art room and gym activities,” Director of Development Nathan Helm said. “There’s a wide range of different things and op-

portunities for field trips and cooking classes, different things like that.”

The highly attended Camp Crosser offers weeklong sessions from June 8 to July 31 for ages 6 to 12. Each session is $115 for members. At 8:30 a.m., campers are transported to the Camp Crosser site, approximately 10 minutes northeast of Noblesville. They return to the Boys & Girls Club at 4 p.m.

Camp Crosser activities include zip lining across the White River, arts and crafts, outdoors ports, archery, a pool day, campfire cooking and environmental education. There’s also an overnight stay on Thursdays. Campers should pack lunch.

“Camp Crosser sessions typically do always fill up,” Helm said.

Camp Crosser registration begins in early May, but a date hasn’t been set. When a date is set, it will be announced on the Boys & Girls Club’s Facebook page.

The club’s teen center also will be open during the summer. A Boys & Girls Club membership is $55 annually. For more, visit bgcni.org.

Bach to Rock features musical variety

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jennifer Flickner views Bach to Rock camps as offering something for everyone.

BANDS Bach to Rock, 2480 E. 146th St., Carmel, is owned by Flickner and her husband, Andy. It opened in the summer of 2018 and is the first franchise in Indiana.

“We have a variety of camps we offer, and we tailor them differently, depending on what age students are enrolled,” Flickner said. “We have a Rock Band camp and that will vary whether they are younger or older or whether they’ve played before or not.

We tweak it to the individual.”

During the Rock Band camp, students learn about different instruments.

“Then, they will do a performance for all of their fans,” Flickner said.

Rock Band, Glee Club and Intro to DJ are weeklong camps for ages 7 and older. Rock City World Tour is a weeklong camp for ages 4 to 7, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“It’s half-day but it’s a lot of musical introduction, so they are exposed to many instrumental and musical terms,” Flickner said.

Flickner said students can attend the morning camp, the afternoon or

combine both.

“They can take just what is interesting to them,” Flickner said.

Flickner said if interest is high, she and her husband have the ability to use more teachers for a particular camp.

“Last year, we would have one of the camps do something early in the summer and the kids would come back and repeat Rock Band because it’s going to be different kids in the band and different songs,” Flickner said. “Then, they might want to learn different instruments.”

Flickner is a former first-grade teacher in the Pike school system and worked in admissions and event planning at University High School.

“My husband, who has always had a love for music, was in the field of engineering,” she said.

Andy teaches guitar, drums and piano approximately 15 hours each week at the school.

The Flickners’ three older children are graduates of University High School. Stephen works full-time at Bach to Rock. David and Lauren are on staff during summer break from college to help with the camps and work the front desk. Youngest son Matthew, a Zionsville Community High School freshman, studies jazz piano at the school.

When physics teacher Matt Mulholland established Indy STEM Camps seven years ago in MINECRAFT Zionsville, he did so with a purpose of combining learning with fun.

It was, after all, what his own kids wanted.

“What began in 2012 with one Minecraft camp, a camp created at the request of my own children, has grown into an organization that has conducted over 150 camps and served more than 3,000 children in the Indianapolis metropolitan area,” said Mulholland, founder and director of Indy STEM Camps.

Beginning June 1, Indy STEM Camps is offering a series of nine, five-day Minecraft camps – with optional morning and afternoon sessions – for elementary and middle school-age children. Camps are available at five area locations and are structured around the popular Minecraft video

game, which challenges players to complete tasks — such as building structures or extracting raw materials — with special tools.

Mulholland, a longtime physics teacher at Zionsville Community High School, is a lead counselor for several of the camps, which are staffed by a mix of experienced teachers and STEM-focused college students.

Besides ZCHS, camps are offered at University High School, Cathedral High School, Guerin Catholic High School and Fishers Riverside Intermediate School.

CYT camps at new site

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Christian Youth Theater’s summer camps will have a new site.

“The thing we’re THEATER most excited about is we have a camp in Zionsville for the first time this year,” CYT Executive Director Laura Baltz said. “A lot of families were traveling from Zionsville to other locations.”

This is the 11th season for the camps.

“We have many kids that come almost every week,” Baltz said. “We teach them all the theater basics, so it’s singing, dancing and acting. It’s working to get a show pulled off in a short period of time.”

Baltz said there are two weeks each for Under the Sea camp with a “The Little Mermaid” theme and Camp Hakuna Matata, which is themed “The Lion King.”

The weeklong day camps for ages 4 to 12 are Monday through Friday, with ages 4 to 7 staying half-days. Each

camp concludes with a performance for family and friends.

“With ‘Seussical Jr.,’ the teenagers put on a Broadway show in one week,” Baltz said.

The teens will audition, learn lines, music and choreography in five days and perform the entire musical on the final day.

“The teen camp is limited, so everyone who signs up for the teen camp will have a role in the musical,” Baltz said.

science in a hands-on, play-based curriculum,” Mager said. “It’s great because it offers them an opportunity to play and to meet other children, to socialize but to still work on a few academic areas and give them a little bit of an ongoing schedule throughout the summer. It gives the parents a great break.”

The weekly fee is $90 per child. For more or to register, visit geistwdm. org/camps-and-clubs.

School of Rock keeps expanding its summer camp program.

“This year is unique GROWTH in that it’s the first summer we are having a camp pretty much every week,” said Nicole Roach, general manager for School of Rock Carmel Roach said there are weekly camps at the Carmel and Fishers sites. There are 11 different camps. Camps run 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

At 3 p.m. on the Friday of camp, the students give a performance. The performances are usually in back of the SoHo Cafe in Carmel and in a Kroger parking lot in Fishers.

“Our youngest age range is 6 to 7, and we’re doing all the way up to age 18,” Roach said. “This summer we are covering all the bases.”

The camps for ages 6 to 7, called Rookies, gives the students exposure to all the rock band instruments,

Roach said.

“They’ll get exposure to guitar, bass, drums and then the microphone if they like to sing,” Roach said. “They’ll learn basic concepts of rhythm and play along to rock band songs, which is really cool.”

A new camp this year is 21st Century Modern Rock, including bands such as Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Imagine Dragons.

TINKERING Makerspace opens in Boone County

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Brian Hull said he knows he can’t make all the things he imagines in his mind, but he said it doesn’t deter him, and he hopes it won’t deter others, either. That’s why he COVER STORY opened Maker Factory, what he jokingly calls his “Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory” for tinkering.

Nestled in the outskirts of Lebanon, Maker Factory is at 437 W. 150 S. It opened in January in a building filled with tools and machinery used for 3-D printing, welding, woodworking, robotics, coding and electronics – essentially, everything needed to make something.

At Maker Factory, Hull works as a contractor, producing all manner of objects and items for Boone County residents, large and small, from furniture to the occasional 3-D-printed Baby Yoda figure. He also offers memberships to customers who want to use the space to make items of their own. And if a customer doesn’t know how to use specific equipment, such as a 3-D printer, he offers instructional classes.

Hull created the business because of his personal love for tinkering. From an early age, he tore apart trucks with his father. He didn’t enjoy it at first, but he eventually learned to love the art of building as a form of creative expression.

“As I got older, I’ve always loved science – anything NASA, rockets, making rockets, making green energy,” Hull said. “I never get bored when I’m making different types of things.”

The same passion for science manifested itself in the form of artistry at a young age. As a child, Hull won awards for drawings and created sculptures.

He said he never viewed science and art as separate entities. He said liberal arts were the birthplaces of science, citing philosophy, art and primitive sciences in Ancient Greece as examples.

Hull said other people share his belief that science and art aren’t mutually exclusive.

“It’s the Holy Grail. It (is) a community,” Hull said.

“That’s one of the main things for makerspaces, is to build a community of people who are interested in different things – sewing, electronics, metal, wood.

And you see a lot of innovations coming from that.”

Hull did a nationwide search last summer for a location to house his business idea. A former

engineer, he wanted a site with office space and a workshop. With that in mind, Hull met Stephen O’Hara late in 2019. The building Maker Factory operates in is owned by O’Hara, who runs his business, TABS Technologies LLC, out of the same space.

When starting a previous business, O’Hara renovated the Lebanon location – what was previously a vacant 84 Lumber building – adding office space, laboratories and rebuilding the exterior. O’Hara said he started his entrepreneurial journey in a way similar to Hull, searching for a space large enough to meet his requirements.

“He does spend a good deal of time in the shop,” O’Hara said of Hull. “It’s exactly the type of thing that I would have loved when I was starting out.”

Hull settled on the Boone County space after spending several months talking to other entrepreneurs who have opened makerspace across the United States. He even visited San Francisco, the birthplace of the maker movement, to seek advice and scout possible locations.

The maker movement has gained momentum

since originating and spreading out of Silicon Valley, but Hull hopes his makerspace, in particular, can serve as a place for people to consider new possibilities. He wants to find ways for young children to learn from older experts, and for young people on the forefront of new industries to be able to teach veterans in their field.

“You hear things about how there aren’t enough electricians, welders, construction workers, trade jobs because everyone is going into the four-year degrees or a technology field,” Hull said. “But we still need people who can fix and build things.”

For more and a calendar of classes, visit makerfactoryindy.com.

TEACHING CHILDREN In addition to his maker business, Brian Hull volunteers at the Zionsville CoderDojo, where students age 7 to 17 learn how to code, run programs and build robots.

He also teaches makerspace classes at Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library.

Hull said it is hard to get his own two children interested in anything other than video games, but he believes the classes he offers can pique the curiosity of children.

“What I’ve noticed is kids are very into electronics and playing games, and I think more so, they are getting into coding,” Hull said. “I think that’s our message here. ‘Hey, you want to build a robot? You want to build an electric car or a skateboard or whatever you can imagine?’ That’s what we’re trying to build, an environment where everyone can safely do that.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Suffering seasons

Nation better

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor’s note: Letter is a response to a letter by Nancy Kohn published in Current in Zionsville Feb. 4.

Editor, There is no reason to be “distressed” over the statement of Sen. Mike Braun. Most of us know that the House of Representatives had the only responsibility to produce the witnesses (in President Trump’s impeachment) yet did that in secret.

They never allowed due process, never identified a crime (let alone a “high crime”). Their opinion witnesses added no pertinent evidence to the impeachment case. The House cheated by denying due process as required by British Common Law and the U.S. Constitution.

It is clear that the phony impeachment was pure politics. No, Nancy Kohn, Braun is again on the right side.

Your lies about (Trump) only improve his ratings.

Mic Mead, Westfield

An elderly aunt used to hang on the notion that bad news came in “threes.” She’d learn of the death of a friend or relative, then wait, almost breathlessly, for the remaining two calamities. “Who would suffer next? Could it be me?” Often, it would seem, she would be right.

As often, she would manufacture the final of the triumvirate to confirm her belief.

Today, writers are more likely to opine about a so-called “season” of pain to be followed by a time of ease. This is an understandable human reaction to suffering – if we hold on for one more moment, then the promised land is on the horizon. But, is such a perspective accurate?

One can assume that spring follows winter, and then summer is next. Ostensibly, spring will alleviate the risk of freeze and starvation. And, such a hope is certain to occur. Still, there is not a guarantee of ease. Each season brings with it risks. Summer may have fewer than winter but there can be no assumption of lax. As such, life continues to challenge us. We can hope for respite but cannot assume that “ease” is the likely outcome.

Does hardship have a season? Does bad news come in threes? Perhaps. Yet, the utmost certainty is that we are only changed if we embrace those things that befall us toward an end of improvement rather than one simply of endurance.

with Trump

Not party to this

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I got a text the other morning from my soon-to-be-16-year-old that read, “Can I have 40 people HUMOR over for my party?” Umm, no, I responded immediately. She fired back, “But why not?” with several crying emoji faces.

Why not, my darling? Let me explain. Because by 40 people, you mean 50 hormonally challenged, angst-filled girls and boys. Because by party you mean five hours of said high schoolers eating and dancing and yelling and probably breaking stuff. Because we have a walk-out basement. Because even though I’m often an honest-to-God supermom, I don’t function well after 8 p.m. on a Friday of a long work week in February. And most significantly, because your dad will be out of town that night. So, no, you may not have 40 people over for your party.

That did not sit well with her, and for the last week, my husband, Doo, and I have been bombarded with increasingly desperate attempts to get

me to fold. To her credit, she’s been quite creative. For every one of our reasons against her proposed underage rave, she’s offered thoughtfully considered counterpoints, the most compelling being, “It’s my sweet 16; it’s a big deal!” I have almost caved twice on that one.

Unfortunately for our birthday girl, Doo is always quick with his mantra of “liability” to keep me strong. And since she is unwilling to change the date of said soiree, as that would solve the biggest issue of all (me having to chaperone this shindig all by my lonesome), it looks like we may be in the clear.

Then again, why not? My baby is turning 16! What could possibly go wrong?

Peace out.

Watt a waste of energy Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I hate going shopping for my wife. I don’t mean searching for a gift; I’m talking about running CELEBRATION OF LIFE EVENT: HUMOR an errand. I never find

exactly what she wants, AN EVENING OF JOY and I can’t even get milk right.

BENEFITTING PREGNANT, HOMELESS WOMEN AND BABIES “Dick, you know I drink almond

milk, unsweetened and organic,� she

said. “You got dairy, not almond, and

I’m color blind, this looks like

unless

chocolate milk to me.�

If you see a guy in Kroger speaking

with his wife on his cell, it’s because

he has no idea where the tahini is —

or what it is.

Last week, Mary Ellen wanted me

to go to the hardware store to get

some light bulbs for our kitchen. I

said, “I’m not going back to the store

four times. Tell me exactly what kind

of bulbs you want.� “OK, I’ll text it to you.�

Here’s the message I got:

Diameter: 1.88 inches Base type: Medium Voltage: 130 Lumens: 700 Wattage: 60 Life Hours: 3,500 Bulb Type: LED Color: Frosted “Mary Ellen, you have to be kidding me,� I texted back. “I have no chance to get this right.� “Look, those specs are exactly what we need for our new kitchen lighting.

And make sure the clerk knows that all the fixtures are recessed.�

There must have been 100 different

kinds of bulbs, stacked to the ceiling. I put my glasses on and tried to read the small print on the sides of the boxes. Incredibly, the lighting in that part of the store was lousy.

One brand boasted that the bulbs in the box would last 25 years. This was not good enough for me. I’m only 73, and when I spend that kind of money on bulbs, I want a lifetime guarantee. The model number for another type of bulbs was 1003024303, which sounded like I had one chance in about 100 billion to end up with the right ones.

I never found exactly what she wanted, so there was some tension between us when we talked on the phone. That’s when I decided to inject a little humor. Later, I walked in the house with a bulb in my mouth. “Having a light snack?� Mary Ellen asked. Darn! She beat me to the punch line, which always ticks me off.

We agreed that having me shop for her was never a good idea. It was getting late and we were hungry. “Why don’t you go get a carry-out pizza for us?� Mary Ellen asked. “OK, can you tell me what toppings you want? I don’t want to make any more mistakes.� “Whatever you want,� she said. “I’m not particular.�

County monitors residents for coronavirus symptons

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Boone County Health Dept. Administrator Cindy Murphy recently briefed county officials on OUTBREAK the department’s efforts to protect residents from the coronavirus, or CORVID-19.

In 2019, an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The virus continues to spread.

So far, there have been more than a dozen confirmed cases in the U.S in different states, but as of press time, no cases have been reported in Indiana. One U.S. citizen died in China from the virus, as of press time, and more than 2,200 have died from the virus worldwide.

“We do have cases in Illinois, near Chicago, and everything is just a plane ride away,” Murphy said.

In an effort to protect public health in the county, the department is monitoring Boone County residents who have returned from China. The department is assisted by federal and

state agencies.

The Center for Disease Control identifies any citizen who might have been exposed to the virus. The CDC then contacts the Indiana State Dept. of Health to inform it of potential residents to monitor. Through weekly calls with the State Dept. of Health, the Boone County Health Dept. is able to stay informed of developments.

Should a resident need monitoring, a “person under investigation,” the county department would stay in contact with the person every day for 14 days to see if the resident contracts the virus.

The county department has monitored multiple residents this month, Murphy said. Their identities cannot be revealed. They are considered “low risk and are not symptomatic,” Murphy said. Should a Boone County resident become symptomatic, the county department would coordinate care for the person.

In addition, the county department has coordinated plans with local emergency preparedness partners in case of an emergency.

“We don’t know how many more to anticipate,” Murphy said.

Studio Series gives performers, audience more intimate experience than many

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeff McDermott had two main missions in launching the Studio Series at his CarMUSIC mel venue.

“The genesis of this is two-fold: To provide a more intimate Studio Series to our patrons and also give an opportunity to some local and regional artists who might otherwise be playing in a variety of restaurants and bars to have a more sit-down patron experience where they can not only play their music but have a dialogue with the audience,” McDermott said.

McDermott said the goal is to attract a younger audience to more casual events at its black-box Studio Theater, which can be set up in various configurations from standing space to 200-person seating.

“We have cocktail tables set up inside the theater, but the focus is the music and the artists,” McDermott said. “A goal is to offer something that is at a real modest price level, too. We’re restricting the pricing so a lot of people can come to it and enjoy it.”

The series kicked off Dec. 6, 2019 with a co-headlined bill of singer/ songwriter Brett Wiscons and indie folk band Sarah Grain & the Billions of Stars. The series returns with Allison Victoria and her band at 8 p.m. Feb. 29.

Victoria, a singer/songwriter, has built a strong fan base since she began playing Indianapolis open-mic events in 2016. She was a featured artist at the Arts Council of Indianapolis’ 2019 Art & Soul festival. Her music is described as a blend of soul, hip-hop, R&B, folk and gospel sounds.

Grain, an Indianapolis resident, said the Studio Theater performance was no question her favorite performance of the year.

“Sometimes, it can be nice to set up and play at a bar where your goal is to simply provide ambience for guests to enjoy the company they came with,” Grain said. “However, playing for a listening-room audience like what was provided to us through our Studio Theater performance is incredibly rare and special. Instead of playing one song after the other, I was able to engage in storytelling, share background about each song’s meaning and engage with the audience on a personal level. The attendees who had seen me previously in a variety of different venues said our Studio Theater performance was the best they’d ever seen our band.

“They said they could hear every note, every word, and it allowed them to drop into the stories we were telling and the musical land-

scape we laid out for them.”

Grain said more Indianapolis venues are stepping up to provide music to customers and are willing to pay and provide a good atmosphere to the musicians.

Other Studio Series concerts set so far are 800 lb. Gorilla, April 4, and Veseria, May 30.

“I would absolutely love the chance to play the Studio Theater again, but in the meantime, I look forward to seeing other great Indianapolis artists there,” Grain said.

“There are so many worthy local artists that deserve to be heard in the intimacy of the Studio Theater.”

Broadway leading ladies stop at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Maureen McGovern, there is one thing that really stands out about participating in a 4 CONCERT Girls 4 concert.

“What I love about the show, when we are backstage or on the stage, it’s a laughing fest for us,” she said. “We have such a good time and it’s the most laughter I have in 24 hours than I can ask for. We all love each other’s talent as well.”

The “4 Girls 4: Broadway’s Leading Ladies in Concert” is set for an 8 p.m.

Feb. 29 performance at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts.

McGovern, 70, is joined by Andrea McArdle, Donna McKechnie and Faith Prince.

“It’s the icing on the cake every year we get together,” McGovern said.

“It was sisterhood at first sight.”

The group’s first concert was in March 2014. McGovern didn’t know any of the other women well before performing together but remembers seeing McKechnie in “A Chorus Line.”

“That changed my life seeing the show,” McGovern said. “When she sang ‘The Music and the Mirror,’ I just wept and wept. I met them all in passing before getting together.”

McArdle was the original in the title role of “Annie” on Broadway.

McGovern said she knew Kaye Ballard, who was part of the original 4 Girls 4 tour with Rosemary Clooney

and Helen O’Connell, from appearing together in “The Pirates of Penzance.”

“I remember seeing a TV version of it,” McGovern said.

So, when she was approached about performing in a new version, she quickly agreed. They have been performing together since 2014.

McGovern said the women sing together and then each has a 20-minute solo set of five to six songs.

McGovern first came to prominence for “The Morning After,” an Academy Award-winning song from the disaster film “The Poseidon Adventure.”

The song is always a staple of her performances.

IWS to celebrate composer

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com John Williams’ film compositions are well-known by music and movie fans alike.

CONCERT The Indiana Wind Symphony will present “John Williams Film Fantasia” at 3 p.m. March 1 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“We’ll be doing the real well-known ones like ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Jaws’ and ‘ET,’ IWS Music Director Charlie Conrad said. “Probably the only one that is not well-known, but I think is one of his best, is ‘War Horse.’”

The concerts will start with the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” theme.

“My personal favorite is ‘E.T.’ but the whole saga of ‘Star Wars’ nine movies tied together with all the music is almost a version (Richard) Wagner did with the ring cycle with the four operas,” Conrad said. “It’s an amazing achievement.”

“2020 is the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, so we’re going to celebrate that for a whole year, with each concert having a piece by Beethoven or a piece inspired by Beethoven,” Conrad said.

Actor relishes ‘Cat’ role

Commentary by Jeff McDermott

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jonathan Studdard gets his workout while performing in the title role of “The Cat in the Hat.” MUSICAL The Indianapolis resident is performing in the Civic Theatre production of the musical based on Dr. Seuss’ book for the third consecutive year.

“It is very active and never stops moving, so it is always nice to get the cardio in,” Studdard said.

Civic presents “The Cat in the Hat” from Feb. 25 to March 5 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“With the show there are so many fun parts to it. However, one of my favorite parts of the show would be when Thing 1 and Thing 2 enter the scene,” Studdard said. “It is a lot of mischief that happens.”

This is the second consecutive year the entire cast returns.

in her fifth year of the show, plays Sally.

“I feel like it can be very challenging playing a child. They have such different mannerisms and what they find funny can vary,” Norton said.

“Not to mention the sheer amount of energy most kids have, it is insane, which is why I’m exhausted after every show. But it is definitely worth it.

I have so much fun doing it.”

For more, visit civictheare.org.

The state’s holistic approach to these issues should dovetail nicely with the ongoing collaborations we enjoy here in our area, where the Hamilton County Tourism office partners with the Center, Grand Park, Conner Prairie and many other organizations and attractions to create a unified picture of a vibrant community that attracts tourism dollars and corporate investment to our local economy.

Looking more broadly to central Indiana, one factor we could improve upon is collaborating, funding and sharing information across city and county lines.

The Center for the Performing Arts recently hosted our annual Sponsor Summit, a TOURISM gathering for local business leaders who generously support our mission to discuss issues of the day and hear from other local and state leaders about topics of interest.

Our guest speaker for this year’s event at the Palladium was financial consultant Elaine Bedel, secretary and CEO of the Indiana Destination Development Corp. The mission of this newly formed public/private agency is to “brand, promote, and tell Indiana’s authentic story to both attract and retain businesses, talent, students, and visitors.”

Without a unified statewide message and a collaborative effort to tell our story, it’s easy for us to be dismissed as flyover country.

Address: 9709 E. 116th St., Fishers What to get: Lobster-cargot Price: $24 Anna’s take: I’m always one to try something new. I first sampled escargot a few years ago while vacationing in the Caribbean. Since then, it has become one of my favorite dishes, so when I visited The HC Tavern + Kitchen in The Yard at Fishers District, I was thrilled to see escargot and lobster-cargot on the menu. The buttery morsels have a hint of garlic and are topped with a rich Havarti cheese.

A side of Tuscan bread is served for dipping. The escargot is $14. The lobster-cargot is a bit pricier but worth the splurge. Other excellent starters include bourbon maple candied bacon ($16), locally sourced from Smoking Goose, and steamed shrimp dumplings ($14), served with a ponzu sauce.

Suggested pairings: Try the Apothecary ($12), an infusion of New Amsterdam Grapefruit Vodka, Pamplemousse Rose Liqueur, Aperol, pineapple, lemon and fresh beet juice. It has a vibrant color and taste.

Visiting Lisbon’s Monumental Square Commentary by Don Knebel Lisbon’s Praça do Comércio (Commerce Square) is one of Europe’s most monumental public TRAVEL squares. It owes its existence to a monumental catastrophe.

By 1500, Portuguese seafarers had explored the western coast of Africa and sailed around the Cape of Good Hope to India, bringing enormous prosperity to Portugal. Reflecting this prosperity, King Manuel I built the magnificent Ribeira Palace along the Tagus River, the site of Lisbon’s busy port. Dignitaries visiting Lisbon from around the world entered the palace by way of a grand marble staircase rising from the river’s edge. On Nov. 1, 1755, during the reign of King José I, a powerful earthquake, followed by fires and a tsunami, destroyed most of Lisbon, including the Ribeira Palace and the 200,000 books in its library.

Almost immediately, King José

Portuguese heroes, including Vasco de Gama, the first European to reach India by sea.

In 1908, Republican assassins killed King Carlos I and his son in the Praça do Comércio, leading to the downfall of the monarchy. For a time, the square was used as a parking lot, but today it has been restored to its original grandeur.

ordered a massive rebuilding project along the river to demonstrate the resilience of the Portuguese people.

The site of the destroyed palace became the location of a huge public square, with a symmetrical building at its southern end, accessible from the river by the same steps that once led to the palace. In 1775, a statue was dedicated in the square, showing a mounted King José crushing snakes, symbolizing the forces that had destroyed the city. At the center of the building, leading to the river, is the

If someone told you that you had a bad case of conjunctive adverbs, you’d probably go to the doctor to get it checked; however, that’s not their purpose at all.

I just illustrated my point. In the last sentence of the previous paragraph, the word “however” is a conjunctive adverb. Other examples

include “moreover,” “hence,” “consequently,” “likewise,” “therefore” and “nonetheless.” Whenever a conjunctive adverb connects two complete ideas, the modifier requires a semicolon before it.

Here’s another telltale sign of a conjunctive adverb: commas. Conjunctive adverbs pair well with punctuation.

Conjunctive adverbs introduce, interrupt or conclude a main clause. Here are some examples: “I should have been sleeping. Instead, our 2-year-old was kicking my back.”

Finally, if a conjunctive adverb injects a rather weak break or interruption, don’t add a comma: “Byron couldn’t find any nacho cheese at the store. He will therefore eat dry tortilla chips tonight.”
