Town council passes ARPA spending ordinance for public safety empolyees

By Zach Swaim zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com At its March 21 meeting, the Zionsville Town Council passed an amended ordinance to establish a plan for TOWN NEWS how to spend the town’s initial allotment of American Rescue Plan Act funds.

Zionsville was allocated $6,402,231 in ARPA funds and has received $3,201,115 as of March 7.

Of that $3,201,115, the council unanimously voted in favor of an amendment to spend up to $700,000 to provide premium pay stipends to the town’s public safety employees. The council had originally approved figure of $623,162.

The rest of the funds will go into a Lost Income Recovery fund. The fund will have spending flexibility and will allow the council to work with the public and mayor’s administration to prioritize programs and projects, such as modernization of cybersecurity and addressing critical infrastructure, according to Zionsville Town Council Attorney Heather Harris.

“This is the first use of ARPA funds for the

Town of Zionsville,” Town Council President Jason Plunkett said. “During the early onset of the global pandemic, our first responders endured unparalleled challenges. The town council agreed that it was important to thank them and show our support. We also know that this is only the first step for using the ARPA funds. The council Plunkett has always believed that all town employees are essential to the operations and functions of our town government in serving the citizens of Zionsville. As we have stated on numerous occasions, we intend to provide a similar stipend to other employees who are eligible.

“Beyond this first step, we have a great opportunity to work with the administration on how we can best use the remaining funds to serve our community. We look forward to that open and transparent dialogue.”

The ordinance included three amendments: • Raised premium pay stipends for public safety employees from $623,162 to

Town hires new CFO news@currentzionsville.com On March 21, the Town of Zionsville announced the hiring of Kellie Adams as its new chief financial officer. Her start date is April 11.

TOWN NEWS Adams was previously the controller for Indiana Dept. of Administration.

In that role, she reduced all three state agencies’ budgets by 15 percent without layoffs, according to a press release. She previously served as CFO for the Indiana Archives and Records Administration and was a public access counselor. She previously worked for the state legislature Adams on budget committee matters.

“After an extensive search, we are thrilled to welcome Kellie to the team,” Mayor Emily Styron stated. “With over 15 years of finance experience, Kellie is a highly accomplished finance executive with leadership experience in similar organizations in the state.”

Adams graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs degree with a concentration in management. She attended the IU Robert H McKinney School of Law. Adams resides in Zionsville with her husband and daughter.

$700,000.

• Raised the maximum premium payment from $1,500 to up to $3,000 for parttime firefighters.

• Added Zionsville Fire Dept. public educators and EMS managers as eligible employees for stipends, with payments allowed up to $5,000.

“With the American Rescue Plan Act dollars provided by President Biden and Congress, the town council and administration staff agreed on using the funds for compensation for public safety,” Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron stated in an Styron email. “We have a lot of other employees who meet the guidelines set forth by the federal government. Our administration wants to recognize their work and contributions throughout the pandemic.

I am advocating for another round of ARPA funding for these team members and hope to have continued discussions on these allocations.”

Plunkett said eligible employees should receive stipends April 22.

Three Zionsville Community High School juniors organized a walkout during school March 11 to protest bills being SCHOOLS passed across the U.S. that they believe delegitimize the LGBTQ community.

Nearly 200 students participated.

After reading about protests at other high schools to support opposition to Florida’s HB 1557, commonly referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, and similar legislation in other states, Nixe Negrin organized the same type of protest at ZCHS to show solidarity with the LGBTQ community.

The text in HB 1557 that is under scrutiny reads, “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur.”

Negrin, 16, recruited two of her friends, Mitchell Greeson and Grace Noble, both 17, and organized the walkout.

“Me and Grace mostly handled everything with the school, like contacting the principal and making sure everything would happen in a safe manner. And Mitchell handled crowd control and made sure a good amount of people would show up,” Negrin said. “It all came together really well.”

ZCHS Principal Tim East informed Noble and Negrin that he appreciated that they sought permission and input from the school, but offered alternative activities the students could consider to make their voices heard that would not disrupt the school day.

“A group of students reached out to me to gain a better understanding of the school’s position on acts of civil disobedience,” East said. “I met with the student leaders and provided them a summary of the pertinent handbook language and law guiding the actions the school could take. We communicated with student leaders of the demonstration that participation in an act of civil disobedience presents some conflicts of purpose in the school setting, specifically drawing the line between supporting student voice when expressed with an act of civil disobedience and the responsibility to maintain a safe and orderly school environment free of disruption.”

When East realized the students had made up their mind, he let them know that they could not post materials in the school to promote an activity that would constitute interference with classroom instruction and would be considered “out

of bounds,” according to the student handbook. East reinforced that no faculty could endorse or participate in an “overtly political demonstration.”

Being “out of bounds” is defined in the ZCHS student handbook as “not in assigned location, failure to follow procedure.”

“The parents of the students involved were all notified, and each student received an out-of-bounds mark,” East said.

“First-time offenses result in parents being notified and a discussion with faculty. The second time, you get an attendance mark.

Each offense increases in severity, and can eventually reach expulsion.”

With the support of the Zionsville Police Dept., the school’s administrative team created a “safety zone” around the area where students gathered to express their views. No Zionsville Community Schools staff participated in the protest, according to East East said an estimated 189 students left class and attended the walkout, which lasted from 1 to 1:20 p.m.

Negrin, Noble and Greeson, along with several other students, took turns speaking on the bills for 19 minutes. During the last minute of the walkout, the students held a moment of silence before returning to class.

“We held the walkout to bring attention to the fact that these bills are being passed, that they are wrong and that we will continue to speak up about them because they are affecting the lives of many LGBTQ individuals,” Negrin said.

Negrin is a leader of the Intersection Club at ZCHS. She defined the club as a group that welcomes people of all backgrounds, including gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity.

“It’s a place where you’re free to be yourself,” Negrin said.

Book examines county’s history Uncover forgotten gems of local history

A

t the center of Indiana lies Boone County, a seemingly quiet place with a colorful past. The stagecoach along the Michigan Road helped to start the county, and then the railroad transformed it as new towns were created along the routes. Some of these towns are now gone, leaving behind a few buildings and a sign marking where they once existed. Local vagabond Thorntown Cyrus entertained area residents with his accordion, one couple touted “his” and “hers” tractors and the Cragun twins met a tragic demise. Mysteries surround true stories such as a rogue monkey seen wandering a community and why a butcher attacked a prominent citizen. Author Heather Phillips Lusk brings these stories and more to life to reveal what makes Boone County unique. $21.99

Heather Phillips Lusk

Robert Tanzilo lusk

Heather Phillips Lusk calls this book her baby.

Fittingly, the process LITERATURE of writing and researching “Hidden History of Boone County Indiana” took nine months. The book will be released April 11 by The History Press.

“I learned so many things about Boone County history that were really Lusk fascinating and interesting,” said Lusk, a Zionsville resident and freelance writer.

Lusk said some of the things she knew about from organizing the Ghost Walk for SullivanMunce Cultural Center for five years.

“But I was able to dive into them even more and find more information,” Lusk said.

“Then other stories that aren’t really scary or spooky are really interesting.”

Lusk said she learned that Boone County used to be a large swamp.

“No one ever thought it could be turned into farmland or any place anyone would want to live,” Lusk said.

Lusk also learned how pioneers turned the county into what it is today. She also learned that a quarter of the county was a Native American reservation.

“There also is a story about what I believe is Boone County’s only dog to serve in World War II,” Lusk said. “There is a tragic tale of twin girls who died within a few years of each other in the late 1800s.”’

Lusk said she relied heavily on local newspapers from the past 150 years for information.

“It’s a different style of writing that I don’t do on a daily basis,” Lusk said.

Lusk said The History Press publishes books about local communities, culture and

specific events. The publisher reached out to SullivanMunce about ghost stories in Zionsville.

“After talking to the editor, they were looking for true ghost stories and haunted stories,” Lusk said. “Those aren’t really well known in Zionsville and definitely aren’t part of the Ghost Walk. In talking to the editor, he mentioned they got this separate hidden history line of books and the stories we do for Ghost Walk would fit well in there.”

Lusk said the Ghost Walk, held every October, retells haunted ghost stories that explain local history in a fun and interesting way.

Although Joan Lyons wrote a book “Remembering Zionsville” in 2009, Lusk hadn’t come across a recent book about Boone County as a whole.

“No one had written anything about Boone County,” Lusk said. “The only books that are in existence are very old or they don’t provide information on the county in general. My hope was to let people know more about the county because a lot of people may know about their own little area but not the county overall.”

The 156-page book will be available at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center and on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Purdue-bound guard caps stellar WHS career with regional run

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School boys basketball coach Shane Sumpter has always known what a special talent he has had in Braden Smith.

“In my opinion, in the sectional he showed he was the best player in Indiana,” Sumpter said. “It’s the toughest sectional in the state, and we had to go through Fishers, Hamilton Southeastern and Carmel. We played Carmel three years in a row in the sectional final and finally got over the hump. To do what Braden did, and all on a broken foot, was simply amazing.”

The 6-foot senior point guard, who will play for Purdue University next season, contributed 22 points, seven assists and seven rebounds March 5 in the Shamrocks’ 59-54 victory over defending Class 4A state champion Carmel in the sectional final. The sectional championship was the first ever for Westfield’s boys basketball team.

“It was awesome to be a part of that,” said Smith, whose team beat Homestead in the regional opener before losing to Kokomo

Favorite athlete: Steph Curry Favorite subject: English Favorite TV show: “Peaky Blinders” Favorite vacation spot: Florida in the final. “It never happened before, so that makes it even crazier.”

Smith said many WHS graduates came out to support the team and said how much it meant to them to see the team go so far.

“It’s always been our goal to win the sectional,” Smith said. “It was not just the sectional, even though it’s the first one ever. It was to go farther and farther. That was the

mindset.”

Smith missed several games with a bro-

ken left foot suffered Jan. 21. Smith, who had surgery on that same foot in July 2021, returned to play just before the sectional. In the three sectional games, he made 28 of 40 shots from the field.

Westfield, which finished 22-7, had lost to Fishers by 25 points when Smith was sidelined during the regular season. Smith had 28 points and 10 assists as the Shamrocks turned the table with a 62-44 sectional victory. He then had 22 points in a 77-50 rout of HSE, avenging an early season loss. The 22 victories broke the previous school record of 18, which Westfield had tied in 2021.

Smith said his leadership, along with the other seven seniors, was crucial to winning the title.

Smith, an Indiana Mr. Basketball candidate, is resting his foot so it can heal. He doesn’t plan to play again until he reports to Purdue this summer.

“My main goal is to be 100 percent healthy when I go to Purdue,” said Smith, who doesn’t yet know if he’ll play for the Indiana All-Stars against Kentucky.

Smith, the school’s all-time leading scorer, averaged 18.3 points and six assists per game. He averaged 22 points as a junior.

Now, that’s taking care of customers Commentary by Ward Degler When it comes to taking care of customers, my vote goes to the Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative headPLAIN TALK quartered in Jordan, Minn.

Forty-two years ago, I moved to Indiana and left behind my Minnesota farm in the Valley of the Jolly Green Giant. All my neighbors grew corn, beans and peas for the food company. I raised a few cows, ducks, geese and chickens.

We were all members of the electric coop. When I moved to the farm, I paid a fee to the co-op to become an active member.

That’s the way co-ops work. At the end of each year, a co-op pays its bills and then divides what’s left among its members. It’s called patronage.

The years I lived there I got small checks, usually 20 to 30 bucks at the end of each year. When I sold the farm and moved to Indiana, I assumed my membership in the co-op transferred to the new owner.

I was wrong, and for the next few years I continued to get patronage checks. Then one year the checks stopped, so I figured the coop had finally straightened out its records.

Fast forward to last week. I got a letter from the Minnesota Valley Electric Co-op. It pointed out again that co-ops are nonprofits, and all extra money is allocated to its members. However, they called it a capital credit allocation instead of patronage.

The letter made it clear that payments go to current and former members of the coop. I’d not seen this disclaimer in previous letters.

Apparently, the co-op had a good year because the letter stated disbursements to members totaled $1.6 million. Since the coop was established in 1956, it has paid back to its members a whopping $26.6 million.

Attached to the bottom of my letter was a check for 42 cents — my share of the $1.6 million. So, when it comes to customer service, never let it be said the Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative falls short.

Community Foundation of Boone County awards grants to Big-4 Rail Trail, Isaiah 117 House

By Zach Swaim zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com The Community Foundation of Boone County, a nonprofit granting organization that serves more than 150 nonprofits in the county, recently presented large “surprise” grants to two Zionsville-area entities. One of the grants went to Isaiah 117 House of Boone County, and the other was awarded to the Big-4 Rail Trail project.

Community Foundation of Boone County President/CEO Jodi Gietl said that the foundation annually spreads an average of $1.2 million from its donation fund into the community to various nonprofits in Boone County. Gietl said the foundation sometimes prefers to “come in with a broad stroke” and inject a lot of money into a single program.

Gietl said the last time the foundation awarded a similar “surpise” grant was in 2020, when it awarded $50,000 in unrestricted, immediate funds to Zionsville Community Schools, and did the same for two other school corporations in Boone County.

“We are passionate about our competitive granting cycles, which is the heart of any granting organization, but every now and then the board and the granting committee likes to come in and make an impact and surprise folks, like we did with the schools back in 2020 and with the two more recent grants,” said Gietl, who has lived in Zionsville for 22 years.

This year’s grants were awarded in March. The first was presented to Isaiah 117 House of Boone County, a nonprofit that houses displaced children awaiting foster home placement located in Whitestown on the Zionsville and Whitestown border.

On March 10, local members and volunteers of Isaiah 117 House of Boone County were told to meet at the New Hope Christian Church in Whitestown, where they were surprised with a $75,000 impact grant.

Earlier, the church had donated three-quarters of an acre of land where Isaiah 117 House is being built.

The $75,000 grant was the single-largest ever gifted by the Community Foundation of Boone County in the organization’s 31-year history.

“We are full of appreciation and thankful for the Community Foundation of Boone County and the rest of the community for

Zionsville Parks and Recreation Supt. Jarod Logsdon said portions of the grant will be used to create a mural on the trail and looks forward to the project bringing more visitors to the trail system.

“We are grateful and beyond excited to partner with the Boone County Community Foundation to bring public art to our park system,” Logsdon said. “Once complete, the mural walk will utilize the blank canvas of the Rail Trail tunnels to showcase a series of art installations that are uniquely Zionsville. We look forward to inviting new visitors on their journey across the Boone County Big-4 Rail Trail.”

‘WE CALL THEM INVESTMENTS’

Friends of Boone County Trails member Dan Warkentien speaks at the Boone County Courthouse regarding a project grant for the Big-4 Rail Trail totaling $150,000.

continually surrounding our project and supporting our needs,” said Laura Wiggs, program coordinator for Isaiah 117 House of Boone County. “This gift will make such a huge impact in serving these children.

“Every donation and gift reaffirms why we are here, to help youth in their time of need.”

Gietl said the foundation committee enjoys awarding surprise grants to “special organizations” like Isaiah 117 House.

“We wanted to come in and help build the foundation of Isaiah 117 House in Boone

County and really get in at the ground level of assisting this nonprofit for the work they do with foster children,” Gietl said. “We wanted nothing more than to help care for vulnerable children in the county.”

The following week, the Boone County Community Foundation gathered at the Boone County Courthouse with community partners, officials and supporters to award a combined $150,000 in multiple grants to provide gifts of public art to the north and south sections of the Big-4 Rail Trail and mile marker signage along the entire trail.

President/CEO of the Community Foundation of Boone County Jodi Gietl said that the donations it receives are referred to as investments because the return on donations go right back into the community.

“Donors aren’t just donating money, they are investing it with us,” Gietl said. “They’re investing in Boone County.”

Funds can be donated to the nonprofit foundation for designated purposes, such as youth interests or the arts, or they can be generalized.

“Our obligation is to always make sure that we are gifting and granting the money out based on the donor’s desires,” Gietl said. “But some donors give to the community impact fund, which is a general fund, which is like them saying, ‘We trust you to know the needs of the community,’ and we are allowed to grant out of that as needs in the county change.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Judging priorities

Becoming socially acceptable

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

In accounting parlance, LIFO is a methodology of selling the most recently produced goods first – last in, first out. The reasons why, or why not, and what it might do for the business employing the method are varied but generally works in an inflationary period.

One can figure out without much consideration that its opposite, FIFO, first in, first out, demands that adherents sell whatever came into inventory first before selling anything else.

In some cases, the approach required seems clear. Bananas, for example, should be rotated such that those brought in yesterday are offered for sale before any that were brought in today, FIFO. The smart grocer rotates produce to ensure the longest shelf life possible for each item. But the choice isn’t always quite so obvious.

Each day, emails, voicemails, texts, calls, U.S. mail and countless other medium pour in around the clock. From the deluge, a pile is formed. FIFO makes sense to ensure that needs are addressed in a fair and attentive way. Still, LIFO also intuitively jibes as it requires that any important matters that have arisen are not overlooked.

With neither a standout winner, we work to triage from both ends, grading each incoming encounter through filters.

Some become first pass, top priority. Others are second pass, top priority. Rounds continue until the stack is depleted.

So, what happens to those that never become a top priority on any pass? And what happens to those senders offended that they are seemingly important one day but not another? An empty inbox makes everything first pass. A full box requires discretion. Could someone who seems highly attentive to us simply be bored and someone apparently disinterested is more committed but overwhelmed?

Fans, I’ve accomplished the impossible. I attended two social events in a row, on the same day. Voluntarily. I know! Me! The introvert who can’t wait for her last kid to fly the coop and lives for boring, quiet Saturdays. The gal whose dream vacation is a solo trip to a B-grade Caribbean all-inclusive for Eastern Europeans who don’t speak English. Truly unbelievable! Here’s what happened.

The first get-together wasn’t technically a big deal for me. I met up with two women whom I’ve known for almost 30 years, introduced by our now spouses, a trio of former high school besties. Over quesadillas and margaritas, we laughed, reminisced and compared the latest in our aging bodies’ ailments, with wrinkly neck skin and pre-cancerous “freckles” topping the list. I don’t go out often (see first paragraph), but when I do, lazy lunches with friends are usually enjoyable.

The second, however, surprised even me. My husband, Doo, and I were invited last minute to a local Irish pub to hang with our old neighbors and celebrate bagpiping firemen (or something like that). Initially, I was a hard pass, knowing that a crazy bar with loud humans was exactly the opposite of what I’d want after my ladies’ date, but after leaving the restaurant, I figured, why not? Everyone cheered when I arrived, including Doo, though he lost a bet because I actually showed. I only stayed an hour and fake-sipped a shot of Jameson, but I did it! I survived a boisterous crowd on a rainy afternoon with strange men walking around in kilts and only one working toilet.

Look at me being social! Twice in one day.

Peace out.

Fond farewell to a dear friend Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I lost a friend and colleague this week.

I visited Carl Finchum the day before he passed. The bond between a HUMOR photographer and a reporter is like a marriage, with some ups and downs as well as zooms and pans.

Our working relationship lasted a decade, and much of the success I had during those years was because of Carl’s expertise at his job, his flexibility with my method of reporting and my erratic style. He was a true professional.

At his funeral, the eulogies included remembrances about Carl’s faith, his passion for cars and his love of Laurel and Hardy. I had no idea about that last part. I wanted to share some favorite memories, but time ran out and the service ended. Here’s my fondest recollection: We were doing a remote shoot on Meridian Street near WISH-TV at the old advertising agency Caldwell Van Riper (CVR). They were promoting upcoming Pacers games.

CVR was next door to WRTV (Channel 6), a fierce competitor with my station (Channel 8). My beagle companion, Barney, accompa-

nied me on every shoot, and he was always escaping and running away while I did my segments.

That morning we taped on the front lawn of CVR, so I tied Barney’s leash to a flagpole.

As always, he managed to get loose. Carl was in position, pointing the camera at me, ready to go live. He never knew what I was going to do. And neither did I.

Carl was in position, pointing the camera at me, ready to go live. He never knew what I was going to do. And neither did I. – DICK WOLFSIE Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Barney had wandered over to the Channel 6 front lawn and was sniffing the signage.

Carl saw Barney as well and realized that the sign was just too easy a target for a beagle. I motioned to Carl to pan his camera over to Barney, who I knew was about

to leave his mark on the WRTV logo. Carl thought this was an unwise thing to do, No. 1, because it would showcase a competitor, and No. 2…well, let’s just leave it at No. 1 for now, although I was pretty sure Barney would leave No. 2, as well. Carl shook his head “no,” fearing that both of us would get in serious trouble if the boss saw this.

Finally, live on camera, I said, “I’m asking Carl to show what Barney is doing and I want our general manager to know I take total blame for this.” Carl shrugged his shoulders, flashed a huge grin and panned over just in time to catch Barney in the act.

No, both of the acts.

Back at the studio, I said to Carl, “I think we are in deep doo-doo.” Carl burst out laughing: “Yeah,” he said, “just like the Channel 6 sign.”

Later, a note from the boss. “Funniest thing I have ever seen. You guys are a great team.” Yes, we were. Like Laurel and Hardy.

Several students in Zionsville Community High School’s business classes and clubs are being mentored by a NONPROFIT leadership team from Indianapolis-based Ideal Food Group, a regional food distributor, to form and operate a nonprofit business called Eagle Entrepreneurs, Inc. Eagle Entrepreneurs held its first organizational meeting the week of March 14.

Speaking on behalf of the student leadership committee, Claire Shank said during the meeting that the nonprofit’s mission is ​​ “to develop and operate a food distribution company. The proceeds from the company will be used to support scholarships for ZCHS students and needs-based scholarships for students from other schools.”

Four students serve on the organization’s student leadership committee. They are Ellie Hutz, Kailey Wallenius, Claire Shank and Steven Schonlau. The student leadership team has been preparing its business plan and anticipates bringing its first food-related product to the market within the year.

Escape to Bloomington for a weekend getaway Commentary by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

‘HELLO, DOLLY!’ “Hello, Dolly!” is set to run March 31 to May 15 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

Thousands of Indiana University alum live in Hamilton County, but Bloomington is more than simply a “college TRAVEL town.” It’s also a weekend vacation destination. Activities can include visiting Oliver Winery, seeing live music at The Bluebird, exploring myriad dining options and browsing shops around downtown square.

VANESSA WILLIAMS Singer/actress Vanessa Williams’ concert is set for 8 p.m. April 1 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

LIVE AT THE CENTER The Live at the Center series will feature Native World at 7:30 p.m. March 31 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Admission is $5 and there is a free livestream. To register for the livestream, visit thecenterpresents.org.

WHERE TO GO: Visitors would be remiss to skip a visit to Oliver Winery, 200 East Winery Rd. Oliver Winery was established in 1972 by William Oliver Sr. He was a tax law professor at IU Bloomington who played a key role in changing state laws regarding wine sales. His efforts led to the passing of the Indiana Small Winery Act in 1971, which allows people to taste wine on-site where it’s made. That was not permitted prior to the legislation.

Oliver Winery features a vineyard, a winery and a storefront. It is the 28th-largest winery in the nation and is the oldest and largest in Indiana. It also is the largest winery in the U.S. that isn’t on the West Coast.

Tastings are available at the bar, but I suggest reserving a guided tasting in the wine cellar for $21.60 per person. Upgrade the experience with a wine flight tasting plate with cheeses and other delicacies for $6.98 per person.

During the wine tasting, a staff member will walk you through a guided tasting of a pre-selected variety of either Oliver’s dry or sweet wines. It’s a fun, hour-long wine boot camp, and you learn the five “S’s” of tasting wine — sight, swirl, smell, sip and savor.

In the evening, especially if visiting on a weekend, be sure to swing by The Bluebird, 216 N. Walnut St. The Bluebird is a rock club the features cover bands and sometimes karaoke. Hairbangers Ball, an ’80s cover band, was performing when I visited, and the music was rocking loud enough to make my bones vibrate. There is plenty of bar space and dancing space,

is a used bookstore with everything from traditional used books to antique and rare selections.

and the exposed brick archways throughout the building add a cozy touch.

WHERE TO SHOP: There are countless adorable boutiques and shops on Bloomington’s downtown square. There’s a store for any style, whether you’re looking for a plant shop, a clothing boutique or something a little more retro like a record store or a used book shop. I stopped by Landlocked Music, a record store at 115 S. Walnut St. Thousands of records are for sale throughout the store, ranging in genres.

Before COVID-19, the store presented live shows once a month, but they haven’t yet returned. For lovers of all things old and literary, I suggest stopping by Caveat Emptor, 112 N. Walnut St. Caveat Emptor

Bloomington offers all sorts of dining options spanning culture and diet requirements. At the Table with Anna columns will follow this story with details on a few spots, so keep an eye out for those. They run the gamut from a nice dinner out to a cozy breakfast at a local favorite.

WHERE TO STAY: IU alum might have fond memories of dormitory rooms or other college housing, but when visiting Bloomington for the weekend, there’s no better place than the Graduate Hotel at 210 E. Kirkwood Ave. The Graduate Hotel has rich wood tones throughout the lobby and plenty of odes to IU basketball history. Its hotel key cards feature characters from the “Stranger Things” science fiction TV show, the setting of which is in Indiana. There’s even a “Stranger Things”-themed room available for reservation, equipped with furniture and decoration similar to that of the show’s set and Eggo waffle boxes, a staple snack of one of the main characters. For more or to reserve a room, visit graduatehotels.com/Bloomington/.

Dancer takes on challenging role

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Olivia Payton has always had her sights set on the role of the Moses character in “EXODUS.” PRODUCTION “I wanted it because it is so challenging and the opportunity to push myself,” Payton said. “I like that it is challenging physically from a stamina standpoint and also emotionally. It’s a lot of dancing but I feel the whole ensemble does a lot of dancing as well.”

Payton performs in the lead role of The Chosen in Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s production of “EXODUS,” which is set for 7 p.m. shows April 7-9 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“The story is a test for all of us emotionally,” Payton said.

The story is inspired by the Old Testament book of Exodus but adapted to the modern world.

“It’s a contemporary retelling of the story,” said GHDT Executive Artistic Director Gregory Hancock, who created the show.

Hanckock said “EXODUS” is a cautionary tale of hatred and ignorance. Instead of frogs and locust, the 10 modern plagues are desecration of the Earth, gun violence, racism, war, poverty, crime, social media, government, selfishness and death of the first born.

A visit to historic downtown Louisville Commentary by Don Knebel In my ongoing series about places within driving distance of central Indiana, we visit Louisville, Ky., about 113 miles TRAVEL from Indianapolis.

Louisville (locals say “LOO uh vul”) is on the south bank of the Ohio River, where rapids of the Falls of the Ohio once presented the only barrier to river travel between Pittsburgh and the Gulf of Mexico.

In 1778, during the American Revolution, Col. George Rogers Clark established a settlement on Corn Island, just east of the falls.

Two years later, the Virginia General Assembly granted a charter for a town around Corn Island, named “Louisville” in honor of French King Louis XVI, whose troops were supporting the Americans against the British. The town grew rapidly as a portage site, where boats were unloaded and their contents carried beyond the rapids. Louisville also became an important port for Ohio River travel. By 1840, Louisville, incorporated as a city in 1828, had a population of 21,000, about five times the size of Chicago at the time.

Today, Louisville, with a population of

complex that opened in 1875 with the first Kentucky Derby, which is now the nation’s longest continually held annual sporting event. The nonprofit Kentucky Derby Museum provides information about the history of the Derby and offers behind-the-scene tours of the famous racetrack. Downtown Louisville is home to the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, featuring the world’s largest baseball bat. A few blocks away is a 30-foot-tall gold-painted foam replica of Michelangelo’s “David,” twice the size of the original. The downtown area also includes the Bourbon District, where several distilleries offer tours and tasting rooms. Waterfront Park offers a wonderful view of the Ohio River. The nearby six-story Muhammed Ali Center, established in 2005, honors Louisville native Ali’s life and principles.
