Donation helps ICAN expand reach in Indiana

By Zach Swaim zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Canine Assistance Network was recently presented a gift of $1.5 million from Carmel residents Mike DONATION and Judy Harrington for the expansion of the organization’s ability to place service dogs within Indiana.

Mike Harrington was the senior vice president of Eli Lilly before he retired in 2020.

The ICAN facility, 5100 Charles Ct., Suite 100, is a nonprofit in Zionsville that trains and places service dogs with children and adults with disabilities.

“We’ve been witness to ICAN’s mission for several years now and believe in what they are doing to create possibilities for people,” Judy Harrington said. “We desire to see the organization get to the next level, and this gift is to help transition their programming so they can serve more people.”

According to its website, ICAN’s service dog training and placement program enriches the lives of children and adults with disabilities by helping them discover a more independent, productive lifestyle. The nonprofit also partners with incarcerated individuals during the training process to help provide inmate handlers with a “new sense

of hope and worth.”

“Since 2002, we’ve seen so many lives transformed by our service dogs,” ICAN President Jilian Ashton said. “However, the training process is extensive and takes an army of staff, volunteers, community partnerships and donors to make each placement possible.”

The ICAN training process, from birth to placement, takes about two years. The organization trains and places approximately 25 service dogs per year. Currently, 54 people in Indiana are approved for a service dog with an average wait time of 2 1/2 to three years.

“The significance of this gift will give us the opportunity to take ICAN to the next level, to expand services, hire some key positions, and ultimately, build the necessary infrastructure to reduce the wait time for clients to receive their service dog,” Ashton said.

Harrington is a longtime volunteer with ICAN and firmly believes in its mission.

“ICAN has transformed my life since becoming a volunteer nine years ago,” Harrington said. “I began volunteering for ICAN so I could pet and love on a puppy, but my eyes were quickly opened to a huge number of other and bigger assets this program provides.”

Initiative designed to protect school bus riders news@currentzionsville.com The Boone County Traffic Safety Partnership is rolling out a new initiative this spring to ensure students SAFETY remain safe when traveling to and from school.

During the next couple of weeks, officers from the Boone County Sheriff’s Office will be positioned along bus routes and in school zones where they will be on alert for stop-arm violations, speeding and other forms of reckless driving.

The overtime patrols are part of the state’s Stop Arm Violation Enforcement program and are funded with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration grants administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, according to a press release from the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.

“Every time you see a bus, slow down, be ready to stop and watch for children,” Boone County Sheriff Michael Nielsen stated in a press release. “If the overhead lights flash red and the stop arm extends, you are

required by law to stop. Under no circumstances, should you speed up in an attempt to beat the bus. That’s beyond reckless and puts every child boarding or exiting the bus in danger.”

The BCSO joins more than 200 police agencies for the spring enforcement campaign as part of an ongoing effort to prevent reckless driving in school zones and around buses. Last year, more than 2,700 drivers were cited for stop-arm violations

by Indiana law enforcement, according to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.

Officers will be conducting high-visibility patrols in the morning and afternoon hours along routes identified in cooperation with local bus drivers and school transportation officials.

“School buses have several highly visible indicators to let drivers know when to stop,” Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Executive Director Devon McDonald stated. “The only way you’re going to miss those — the activated stop arm and flashing lights — is if you’re on your phone or not paying attention to the

road. That choice can be deadly.”

As part of the campaign, the department is urging motorists to slow down, pay attention to the road and never pass a bus that has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. This applies to all roads with one exception. On highways divided by a physical barrier, such as a concrete wall or grassy median, only vehicles traveling in the same direction as the school bus are required to stop.

“You’ll never regret playing it safe, but you will regret driving past a stopped bus and injuring someone’s child,” Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Traffic Safety Director Robert Duckworth stated. “These are people who have their whole lives ahead of them.

No hurry is worth the possibility of robbing someone of their future or a family of their child.”

Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a Class A Infraction. Violators could pay a fine of up to $10,000 and have their license suspended for up to 90 days for the first offense or up to one year for the second.

Carmel guard Clarke earns All-Star spot despite short season

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School senior basketball player Kate Clarke made the best of a shortened senior season.

Clarke suffered a back injury at the end of last summer and began the rehabbing process. She returned to play in 13 games, averaging 11.7 points on 50 percent shooting from the field. The 6-foot-1 guard scored 18 points or more in six of her last seven games for Carmel (15-8).

“Kate came back and found herself fitting into our offense and the flow of the game very effectively,” Greyhounds coach Erin Trimpe said. “She has a natural skill set that puts her in a good position to make a difference in the game. She gave herself some time and with limited minutes (and found) her comfort and groove to finish out the season.”

Clarke said it was a struggle to get back in playing form.

“With all the girls surrounding me, it was easy to get back on the court,” Clarke said. “By the end, I was able to get back in the groove and we just came up short in

Clarke, who will play for the University of Michigan in the 2022-23 season, was named to the Indiana Girls All-Star team, which will play against Kentucky June 10-11.

“It was disappointing to only play half my senior season, but I’m lucky to have (had) a

really good career at Carmel,” Clarke said. “I was lucky to finish it out. It’s hard sitting out, but it was fun to see all the girls I’ve been playing with come together without the missing puzzle piece. It was nice to see

them mature over the season.”

Clarke averaged 18.1 points as a junior and 16.9 points as a sophomore.

“Kate is a phenomenal shooter on the offensive end,” Trimpe said. “She shot 37 percent from 3-point (range) throughout her career and became the seventh Greyhound to score 1,000 points. Kate spends a lot of time in the gym working on her individual skills and working to improve her game.”

Clarke said she is training and staying in shape to get ready for the All-Star games and then Michigan.

“During the season, I was thinking about getting my back healthy and to be careful,” Clarke said. “Ultimately, my goal is to get to Michigan healthy.”

Clarke will be joined by Westfield senior and fellow Michigan recruit Alyssa Crockett on the Indiana Girls All-Stars.

“Michigan has kind of a home feel,” Clarke said. “I kind of sensed that when I got there for my official and unofficial visit. It’s important for me to stay closer to home so my mom can go to games. The girls are great, that’s the main thing that attracted me to Michigan. It’s obviously a great school, so I couldn’t pass that opportunity up.”

OK, so it is kind of a big deal Commentary by Ward Degler I don’t want to make a big deal out of this, but I’ve been diagnosed with cancer.

Through the years, I’ve PLAIN TALK had various forms of skin cancer from my years of sailing and sun worshiping. But now I have bladder cancer. A tumor has been removed, and what’s left will get treated with doses of chemo and zaps of radiation. Hopefully, that will restore me to reasonable octogenarian health.

For the skin cancer, I simply showed up at my dermatologist’s office for some mild torture with liquid nitrogen or a scalpel and a few stitches. The bladder thing is more complicated.

First, removing the tumor involved real bright lights and masks-and-gowns surgery. I don’t know how big the tumor was, but they had to cut it into small pieces to remove it. A month later, I’m only now relatively free of pain during bathroom visits.

The chemo isn’t a one-and-done deal, either. Another surgery implanted a port under the skin in my chest. I’m told that’s where they will plug in the medicine. That

will be a 24/7 deal for five days, a week off, and then a second session. The doctor hopes that will do the trick. A follow-up scan will let us know.

The second part involves daily sessions of pinpoint radiation. They’ve already made a mold to keep my legs in position and have marked me with Xs. I’m told this will happen five days a week for up to six weeks.

I might even start glowing in the dark at some point during the treatment. Or maybe I’ll have to wear one of those ‘Danger Radiation’ signs around my neck. I’ll ask the doctors.

I am trying to put a good face on this.

I’m not the first cancer patient the doctors have seen. And although they are not saying so outright, I sense they are optimistic.

But, like I said, I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. Even though it is a big deal.

Local teens achieve Eagle Scout status

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Boy Scout Troop 69 members Sam Bhatt and William Stuart wanted to share their big moment together.

ACHIEVEMENT The two recently had their Eagle Scout Award ceremony at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center. Eagle is the highest rank for Boy Scouts of America. Troop 69 is based out of Traders Point Christian Church in Whitestown.

“I thought it would be nice to have the Eagle ceremony with him since we spent so much time with him the past few years in Scouts,” Bhatt said.

Bhatt, a Zionsville Community High School senior, led the construction of 21 bluebird nesting boxes for the Boone County Bluebird Society and Zionsville Parks Dept.

“I helped install six of them in West Park in Carmel,” Bhatt said. “I started the project in May 2021, but we finished construction in early August. I was awarded the rank of Eagle in October.”

Bhatt said he got help from several volunteers on the project.

“I mentioned I was looking for an Eagle project and my math teacher suggested I build bird boxes for the Zionsville Parks Dept.,” Bhatt said.

Being an Eagle was always a goal because his father, Jay Bhatt, was also an Eagle Scout.

Continued from Page 4 “It’s always been my dream,” he said.

His brother, Nick, a ZCHS sophomore, also plans to become an Eagle Scout.

Stuart, a Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School senior, completed his project Nov. 29, 2021. His project was putting together three mobile garment racks and 10 wooden donation boxes for The Holy Family Shelter, a homeless shelter in central Indianapolis.

“I decided to do my project for the Holy Family Shelter because it is a place that my family and I have volunteered at for a while now and I thought it would be a good community to touch with my project,” Stuart said. “After talking with a representative from there about their needs, I decided on the garment racks and the boxes to help them take in, store and display clothing items. I spent about 100 hours planning, preparing for and executing my project.”

Stuart said Eagle Scout was a long-term goal.

“I’m not sure exactly when I really decided I wanted to become an Eagle, but I remember people asking me if I was going for Eagle Scout and I would always say yes, thinking to myself, ‘Why else would I be in Boy Scouts?’” Stuart said. “It never was really a second thought to me that Eagle Scout was the ultimate goal.”

Extending Hoosier hospitality Commentary by Gov. Eric J. Holcomb As the world watches Vladimir Putin relentlessly attack Ukraine, killing children and civilians, bombing a maternity ward, firing on a nuclear energy plant COLUMN and bombarding Mariupol, among other cities, Hoosiers are sending prayers. Those include mine.

But our Hoosier humanitarian efforts will extend far beyond the ongoing prayers and community vigils.

I recently traveled to Slovakia and part of my mission was to visit a refugee camp with Adjutant Gen. Maj. Gen. R. Dale Lyles to learn firsthand what Hoosiers can do to help. In the meantime, I met with Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova, and she requested: • Federal assistance to secure more military equipment • Humanitarian aid and supplies, such as gas and oil and first aid kits • A statement of support of Ukraine and condemnation of Russia • Ceasing of Indiana investments in Russian stocks or bonds • Indiana businesses to halt operations with Russian entities I shared with her that Indiana is unequivocally standing with, by and for a free Ukraine and would address each of her requests. We have already taken these steps: • Proceeded with divesting of more than $147 million in state government investments that have Russian interest.

• Verified no public universities offer Russian-funded programs.

• Supported the Indiana Gaming Commission in its suspension of leagues with Russian and Belarussian ties from the approved events for sports wagering.

• Offered to temporarily or permanently house screened and processed Ukrainian refugees should the U.S government need a safe haven for them.

• Offered to house and train the Ukrainian Summer Olympic Team.

• Asked all Hoosiers doing business in Russia to consider the moral ramifications during such a volatile time.

Indiana companies have stepped up. Eli Lilly has moved a million doses of insulin into Poland, ready to make its way into

Ukraine and halted exports of nonessential medicines to Russia. Franciscan Health hospitals have collected The good people of and sent Russia must know more than 100,000 that we don’t seek war pounds of but demand peace. medical – GOV. ERIC HOLCOMB supplies and Cummins indefinitely suspended the company’s commercial operations in Russia.

Our efforts alone won’t be enough, but we will contribute. Indeed, the world must be clear in words and even more so in actions. America must be a full partner in the EU mission to impose economic and individual sanctions against Putin’s killing machine. In my opinion, Russia’s “most favored nation” status was forfeited when it invaded Ukraine and threatened nuclear and chemical war. Only four nations occupy official state-sponsored terrorism status — North Korea, Syria, Iran and Cuba. After weeks of targeting civilians, Russia should make it five.

In Putin’s last days, he must know the free world will continue to answer Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for more humanitarian and political support. The free world must do whatever it takes for however long it takes.

And Putin must know that for many of the same reasons the Soviet empire collapsed before, it will again, and this time on his greedy watch. He must know, this time, the world will not nod “yes” to his engulf and devour mentality but applaud those courageous souls in Moscow who have taken to the streets in protest.

The good people of Russia must know that we don’t seek war but demand peace.

The world must know that this is a time of choosing. Stand for the free democratic nation of Ukraine or stand against those of us who do.

If they don’t, Eastern European maps will be redrawn once again. Gone will be the days that allowed the trip like the one my grandfather took nearly 50 years ago when he visited Moscow on business and believed the Russian government loved their children, too.

Zionsville residents raise money, awareness for pancreatic cancer

By Chris Bavender news@currentzionsville.com Larry Nicolet clearly remembers the day his wife, Joan, turned to him while they were attending an event at Butler University’s Hinkle Fieldhouse and asked if he was OK. It was a Sunday in February 2011.

“I was turning jaundiced, and my eyes were yellow. (My wife) said, ‘You don’t look right.’ I figured it must be the lighting in the fieldhouse,” Nicolet said.

But the next day, co-workers and his barber also told the Zionsville resident the same thing and that he should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Less than a week later, Nicolet, who was 62 at the time, learned he had pancreatic cancer. He underwent a successful surgery, known as a Whipple Procedure.

“My family was so supportive the whole way. All of my kids showed up at the hospital when I had the surgery,” Nicolet said. “I just trusted in God that I was going to get through this.”

Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers, with a survival rate of 11 percent, according to the Mayo Clinic. In 2011, the survival rate was only 5 percent.

The disease hit home for another member of the Zionsville community when Jenny Bivans’ sister, Vicki Winkler, was diagnosed in 2016, and after a few years of battling, succumbed to the cancer in 2020.

“It was a devastating blow to all of us,” said Bivans, a retired Zionsville Community Schools elementary principal. “When she called to tell me she had pancreatic cancer, it was only natural to go see her the very next day and help her figure out what to do next.”

The survival rate for pancreatic cancer at that time had increased, but only to 8 percent.

Bivans attended her sister’s appointments and took notes for her, kept her treatment schedule straight and researched symptoms and treatments, among other tasks.

“I started a Facebook page for Vicki and kept family and friends up to date,” Bivans said. “Vicki had over 50 chemo treatments and an extensive surgery, but through it all

so much time with her during her four-year battle with pancreatic cancer and I missed her terribly,” Bivans said. “Accepting this volunteer role seemed like something she would want me to do and a way for me to honor her life.”

For Nicolet, leading Team Nicolet for the past 11 years has been a way to lift others with a simple message — never give up.

“There is a lot more awareness now and more recognition by (the) media, and I just feel I am part of that group to give people some hope,” Nicolet said. “In 2011, when Joan and I first walked in PurpleStride Indianapolis, I had little hope that I would be here in 2022, but here I am.”

This year’s PurpleStride is April 30 at White River State Park. To join a team or donate, visit pancan.org/.

she kept her positive outlook.”

Today, Nicolet and Bivans work to spread awareness of pancreatic cancer and raise funds for research through the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Indianapolis PurpleStride walk. The event is the main fundraising event for PanCan. Proceeds go to scientific research and provide resources for patients, caregivers and medical professionals.

Bivans has led a team in honor of her sister since 2016. She became the affiliate chair for the Indianapolis affiliate of PanCan in March 2021. It is one of 59 affiliates across the U.S. “The timing was right. Vicki had passed away the year before at the beginning of the pandemic. I felt lost since I had spent

More than 60,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year and nearly 50,000 will die, including 1,070 Hoosiers, making it the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Symptoms include: • Back or stomach pain • Bloating • Change in stool • Jaundice • Nausea • Recent onset diabetes • Trouble digesting food/loss of appetite • Weight loss If you or anyone you know is diagnosed, call Patient Central at 877-2-PANCAN for free personalized resources.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Teaching moments?

Giving kids ‘the talk’

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The cliché goes, “Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.” Like most aphorisms, it is true on its face with little consideration. We get cut off on the highway as someone realizes too late that their exit is upon them. We get displaced from our chosen airplane or event seat because a late arriver wants to sit next to a relative or friend. We miss the start of the movie because the customer ahead of us in line seems to have overlooked that their wallet would be needed to complete the transaction. And we come to a dead stop in the roundabout as the driver in front has to stop and consider which way they intend to go — in fact, some good fellow citizens stop and back up to get to their chosen venue, apparently not aware of the no-beginning and noend nature of these traffic circles.

Still, we live in a civil society. And many of us take great steps to show deference and respect for our fellow humans. We are unlikely to wear profane graphic T-shirts in public and we still can be found holding the door for those, regardless of gender, entering behind us. Does our attempt to do unto others inadvertently lead to a dependence by them upon our good nature?

Do they become intentionally atrophied at showing up on time, expecting dispensation because they truly have come to believe in their own superiority? One might imagine so, given the abject look of horror to possess the countenance of the poor planner when we don’t freely offer to share our wine with them at the concert. It seems they forgot to bring any, again. When, if ever, is it right to push back, to teach a lesson, or to hold our ground?

For the past couple years, my teacher neighbor (also a Mrs. Wilson) and I have given a spring break lecture to our students about making good choices. When faced with a tough decision, they’re to consider the question, “What would Wilson say?” We have PowerPoints, a spot on the weekly news roundup, even “WWWS?” bracelets. We’re basically legends.

Our advice is practical: wear sunscreen, use the buddy system, avoid incarceration, etc. But I personally like to add a bit about vacation romance.

“Beware the SB fling,” I caution. “It will most likely end in heartbreak.” On the other hand, I tell them they might just find their soulmate and eventually wind up with four children, a mortgage and a bald spouse.

The kids find this hilarious, especially when I explain that I’m speaking from personal experience. Yes! This is a true story of love at first sight. I met my husband, Doo, when I was a senior in high school during spring break. We were in a tiny Bahamian town, Doo with his family, and I with my wealthy bestie.

Miraculously, he called the week after we returned, and the rest is history.

So, yeah, we stress the importance of agency in our annual talk. Students have to make their own decisions, hopefully after weighing all the pros and cons. If they opt to forgo Coppertone SPF 50, they need to be prepared for a nasty sunburn. Decide to swim alone? Shark bait. And if they choose to flirt with the cute guy at the pool, they should be ready for a short-lived relationship. Or, perhaps, a marriage proposal.

“WWWS?” Make good choices!

Peace out.

Florists’ art skills in full bloom

By Zach Swaim zach.swaim@youarecurrent.com Zionsville florist Blooms by Dragonfly was chosen to participate in the second Art in Bloom event at Newfield’s IndianapART olis Museum of Art, where it won the award for Best in Show. The event ran March 31 to April 3.

Showcasing 27 floral displays of different works of art in the museum, 4000 N Michigan Rd., the event pairs pieces of art with floral pieces created by local designers or floral shops.

Blooms by Dragonfly, 176 South Main St., Zionsville, was chosen to make a floral representation of American painter George Hitchcock’s painting, “Calypso.”

Wendi Louks, owner of Blooms by Dragonfly, embraced the opportunity and was delighted to work with the assigned art piece.

“We were very excited when we saw our piece, even ecstatic, because it has so much color to it that it was easy to imagine what we could do with the florals to complement it,” Louks said. “We were super lucky to get such a great piece to work with.”

The “Calypso” floral arrangement was

designed by Blooms by Dragonfly employees Jessica Bohrer, Tish Cronin and Kate Shay.

“They did such a terrific job,” Louks said.

“I knew they would, but I was still impressed when I saw the end result.”

Louks hopes Blooms by Dragonfly is invited to participate again next year.

“They have two different types of pieces.

They have the showstoppers, which are bigger, more complicated pieces and then the pedestal pieces that complement a smaller piece of art,” Louks said. “Next year, we want to take on a showstopper.”

Avoid carpal tunnel syndrome Commentary by Dr. Mark Dillon Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness and tingling in the hand and arm.

WELLNESS The condition happens when the median nerve in the hand is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist.

THERE ARE CLEAR SIGNS TO LOOK FOR One symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome is tingling and numbness in the fingers or hand. The patient may feel a shock-like sensation in their fingers, experience weakness in their hand or begin unintentionally dropping objects.

SEVERAL FACTORS COULD CAUSE THE CONDITION A number of factors are associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Wrist fracture, dislocation or arthritis can alter the space within the carpal tunnel and put pressure on the median nerve. Some chronic illnesses like diabetes increase the risk of nerve damage. Obesity, menopause, thyroid disorders, kidney failure and lymphedema may increase the risk as well. Working with

vibrating tools or in positions that require repetitive flexing of the wrist can create harmful pressure on the median nerve.

SIMPLE CHANGES CAN MINIMIZE STRESS ON HANDS AND WRISTS If your work involves pressing buttons or working with a keyboard, hit them softly.

When writing, use a big pen with an oversized, soft grip adapter and free-flowing ink. Take short, frequent breaks to gently stretch the hands and wrists. Avoid bending the wrists all the way up or down. Make sure the computer mouse is comfortable and does not strain the wrist. Posture can also play an important role in prevention.

If you exhibit symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, contact your doctor. In most cases, this condition worsens over time, and if left untreated, could lead to permanent nerve damage.

Dr. Mark Dillon is an orthopedic surgeon at IU Health Saxony Hospital.

Five-time Grammy winner to perform in concert

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director Janna Hymes has long wanted to perform with double bassist MUSIC Edgar Meyer.

“Edgar Meyer has won multiple Grammys and he is someone I have admired for years,” Hymes said. “We were students at the Aspen Music Festival many years ago and his experience as a versatile and virtuosic musician is legendary.”

Meyer, who has won five Grammy Awards, was set to perform with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra March 14, 2020, but the performance was canceled because of the pandemic lockdowns.

Meyer will finally appear with the CSO at 7:30 p.m. April 23 in the Masterworks 5 concert at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“We have been performing regularly and have our fingers crossed that the pandemic is behind us, yet we are optimistically cautious,” Hymes said. “This concert means a lot because of the music on the program and the quality of the playing the orchestra has been delivering lately.

We have been performing in various ways throughout the past two years and now that our schedules have aligned, we can finally present this concert with Edgar Meyer.”

Meyer will perform during “Bottesini Concerto No 2 in B minor” and “Edgar Meyer Concerto in Double Bass in D.” “Several years ago, Edgar released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba and double bass — simply a remarkable demonstration of musical mastery,” Hymes said.

Meyer said he doesn’t have a favorite piece in the Masterworks concert.

“I’m just glad to be playing,” he said.

Meyer said he has never been busier than he has been the past six to eight months as more concert venues return to normal scheduling.

“I am ready for a breather,” he said.

‘IMAGINATION STATION’

Meyer has had several memorable collaborations with singer-songwriter Chris Thile, a duo with Béla Fleck; a quartet with Joshua Bell, Sam Bush and Mike Marshall; a trio with Fleck and Marshall; and a trio with Yo-Yo Ma and Mark O’Connor.

“Collaboration is fundamental to my musical life,” Meyer said. “I could give a hundred examples, but I will stick to a couple. If a person is trying to improve their rhythm, it can help to do basic things like recording practice and working with a metronome. However, there will come a point where it seems like everything is ‘in time,’ yet it doesn’t feel right. All people have blind spots of this nature, and the most effective remedy for this is to play with people who have a better feel than you do. The blind spots will come to the surface in this situation, and one is

obliged to correct the things that are not comfortable “Also, music has been a 61-year educational process for me, and the most important teachers have been the amazing musicians that I have worked with.”

Meyer, a Tulsa, Okla., native, graduated from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music.

“I loved going to school in Bloomington,” Meyer said. “I had a great time and simultaneously learned a tremendous amount.”

Selections scheduled for Masterworks 5 include familiar pieces “The Entertainer” by Scott Joplin; “Lullaby for Strings” and “An American in Paris” by George Gershwin; and “Pirates of the Caribbean” by Hans Zimmer.

Play addresses opioid addiction

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com React children’s theater director Justin Wade understands how devastating opioid addiction can be bePERFORMANCE cause he lived it.

“I ended up being a homeless heroin addict on the streets when I was younger,” Wade said. “I’ve been over a decade clean from heroin. I’ve always wanted to use my business to give back to all the people who helped me get clean and helped me.”

React, which was formerly known as Young Actors Theatre, will present “Love Over Dose” April 14-15 at Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre, 705 N. Illinois St., Indianapolis. The hour-long shows are at 6 and 8 p.m. each evening. There are 18 rotating cast members in the four performances.

Wade, 47, is React’s executive director, and his wife, Georgeanna Smith Wade, is the artistic director. They live in Lawrence.

Smith Wade was the play’s lead writer.

Shortly before the pandemic shut down performances in March 2020, “Love Over Dose” was presented at Fishers High School.

Wade said Young Actors Theater helped him get through his rehab stints and getting clean.

“If there was any grounding in my life, it was coming from this and (Kaufman) believing in my talent,” Wade said. “I always say I probably wouldn’t have hired myself now, but for some reason she stuck with me through it all.”

Commentary by Don Knebel Today, we visit Henry County, where two facilities celebrate “Hoosier Hysteria.”

Hoosier Gym in Knightstown, TRAVEL built in 1921 and expanded in 1936, was originally used by Knightstown High School basketball teams.

When a new school opened in 1966, the facility sat idle until 1985, when it became the home gym of the fictional “Hickory Huskers” in “Hoosiers,” inspired by tiny Milan’s 1954 victory in the IHSAA state championship game against much larger Muncie Central.

One-third of the scenes were filmed in the gym and its basement locker room. The gym was saved from demolition in 1988 and is operated as a nonprofit museum, looking almost as it did in the movie, with an autographed photograph of the fictional team hanging beside the “GO HICKORY” banner. Hoosier Gym, open to the public at no charge, hosts about 80 basketball games each year, with team jerseys hung in the locker room.

The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame is in New Castle, about 15 miles north of Knightstown. The 14,000-square-foot facility, opened in 1990, honors Hoosier men, women and teams that have distinguished themselves on or around the basketball court. Visitors can search by name, school or year for Hall of Fame inductees, all of whom are pictured in the “Enshrinement Hall.” Special exhibits honor John Wooden, Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird and the 1954 Milan Indians.

teams are displayed along a ramp based on the one in Butler’s Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Scoreboards from various eras hang on the walls. Exhibits allow visitors to try to sink the winning shot or block shots by Oscar Robertson and Stephanie White. One exhibit shows the many schools (including mine) that once played Indiana basketball but are now closed.

For anyone with interest in Indiana basketball, a visit to Hoosier Gym and the Hall of Fame is a must.
