Plan Commission passes Sycamore Flats proposal
DISPATCHES
Compiled by Sara Baldwin Schatz • sara@youarecurrent.com Zionsville residents filled the Town Hall council chambers for the April 15 Zionsville Plan Commission meeting, overflowing into the hallway. What happened: The commission gave a 7-0 approval of the Holliday Farms development primary plat proposal, dividing the 88-acre parcel into 165 lots for residential use. What’s next: Holliday Farms lots are being reserved.
What it means: Henke Development Group will move forward with redevelopment of the nearly 600-acre property into a residential development and 18hole golf course, designed by famed Carmel-based golf course designers Pete and Alice Dye.
What happened: Sycamore Flats, a large mixed-use development proposed near Sycamore and 2nd Streets in downtown Zionsville, passed the Plan Commission, 5-2, and a favorable recommendation to the Town Council. What it means: Developer J.C. Hart proposed a rezoning of the 4.3 acres, at 165 and 253 W. Sycamore St. and designated for business, to a mixed-use planned unit development. Plans for the $40 million Sycamore Flats include 184 one- and two-bedroom apartments, 4,350 square feet of commercial and retail space and a 256-space parking structure. The proposal also includes amenities like a pool, green space, exercise area and clubhouse. J.C. Hart representative Matt Price said the development would begin to revitalize Zionsville’s “front door,” referring to the area surrounding Main and Sycamore streets, the southern entrance to Zionsville’s historic brick street. He said it would attract additional daytime and evening clientele for businesses in the village. The Town of Zionsville and J.C. Hart assessed the financial impact of the development. J.C. Hart believes the development would generate $22 million of new revenue to the Town of Zionsville during a 40-year time period. Remonstrators lined up to voice concerns, citing doubts about the true financial impact, inconsistencies with town planning and the current downtown aesthetic, traffic increases and stormwater impact. J.C. Hart representatives said 2010-2018 data from Hamilton County showed home values near similar-scale apartment complexes rose between 12 and 27 percent. Village resident Gary Angstad said the figures were less than the county as a whole and actually showed a decrease in value.

“In the same time period, MIBOR reports that Hamilton County as a whole grew its median income home sale price over 70 percent,” Angstad said. Zionsville resident and CPA Bret Brewer said he worried the town could incur large financial losses if it agreed to pay 20 percent of the infrastructure as proposed. Director of Planning and Economic Development Wayne DeLong said staff was supportive of the proposal and the town is in a position to move forward with traffic improvements and solutions. What’s next: The proposed Sycamore Flats development will be considered by the Zionsville Town Council next month.

Wilcoxson given max sentence for Zionsville murder By Sara Baldwin Schatz • sara@youarecurrent.com At an April 18 sentencing hearing at the Boone County Courthouse, Damoine Wilcoxson received the maximum sentence of 65 years in prison from Judge Matthew Kincaid for the 2016 murder of 82-year-old Zionsville CRIME resident John Clements. The sentence is to be served consecutively with the 37-year sentence Wilcoxson is serving for two Marion County shootings that led to his arrest and forensically connected him to the Zionsville crime. Wilcoxson will serve a total of 102 years in prison, with limited application of good-time served.
Kincaid found Wilcoxson guilty of the murder Feb. 21, following a two-day bench trial. Wilcoxson obtained a new lawyer before the April 18 sentencing. During the hearing, Boone County Deputy Prosecutor T.K. Morris read a letter of impact from the victim’s family. Clements’ children said the murder most negatively impacted their mother, Carol Clements, who has Alzheimer’s disease. At the time of the murder, Jack was caring for Carol at their home of 47 years. After the loss of her husband, she moved to an assisted living facility and is experiencing confusion and distress. “The actions of Mr. Wilcoxson took all the remaining joy from the life of our mother,” the letter read.
Morris asked the judge to consider multiple aggravating factors in the sentencing, including the violent nature of the murder, Wilcoxson’s criminal history and the presence of children near the suburban crime scene. Defense attorney Michael Gross argued that Wilcoxson’s young age of 23 should be considered a mitigating factor, and that he has a close relationship with his family. After deliberating for nearly 30 minutes, Kincaid gave Wilcoxson the 65-year sentence. Kincaid said the sentence will be served consecutively because the crimes were separate and perpetrators of multiple violent crimes should not serve time for only one crime.

Student creates winning ZRun T-shirt design
join us for a
Remodeling Seminar
By Chris Bavender news@currentzionsville.com
When runners take the course for the 17th annual ZRun April 27, they’ll sport T-shirts designed by eighth-grader Aaren LaFlamme as part of his Zionsville CREATIVITY Middle School art class. “It’s very satisfying to know my students are engaged in their art projects,” said Jennifer Gibson, ZMS art teacher. “I get excited when they share a new idea or figure out a solution to their problem.” LaFlamme’s design, which incorporates the pet-friendly nature of the run, was one of 148 submitted. Gibson narrowed those down to the top 25 and then sent the top five designs to the ZRun committee, which blind-selected the winner. “I thought about logos used by different companies/organizations and I took inspiration from them,” LaFlamme said. LaFlamme was excited to learn about the art class project. “I thought that it would be good practice

for graphic design, considering I want to do graphic design when I get older,” he said. Gibson said LaFlamme’s design was the strongest because of his “simple approach to the design.” “I knew that so many people designed so many great logos, I thought that I didn’t have a chance,” he said. “But hearing that I won, and that I’d have my design put on hundreds of T-shirts, I felt overjoyed.”

Lt. Gov. Crouch speaks at chamber breakfast By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At the April 16 Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Business Breakfast at Zionsville Town Hall, Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch spoke on the Next Level ConINDIANA nections program. She opened by saying Indiana is the nation’s leader in advanced manufacturing. She said the state has the second-best infrastructure and is the second-most affordable state in the nation. “These are incredible accomplishments, but they can’t be credited to government alone,” Crouch said. “Government may light a path, but it is the hardworking men and women who are taking the risks and making the sacrifices that has put our state on a path to prosperity. As we embark on Indiana’s third century, let’s focus on perfecting this special state in the heartland of our great country. We have started doing that with our Next Level Connections investment.” The initiative will invest $1 billion in the state’s infrastructure in four areas. “When people think of infrastructure, they automatically think of roads and bridges, and we are going to invest $800

million in our roads and bridges in Indiana because we understand economic development is about infrastructure,” Crouch said. “But infrastructure is more than just roads and bridges.” Crouch said Next Level Connections will invest $100 million in expanding broadband statewide.
“We know access to high-quality, affordable internet affects workforce, health care, education, economic development and quality of life,” she said. “Last year, Purdue University released a study that found almost 500,000 Hoosiers are living in internet darkness. If all those Hoosiers were connected, it would result in an additional $1 billion in the state’s economy every single year.” Other portions of Next Level Connections would invest $90 million in creating a world-class network of trails and $20 million in providing more nonstop international flights. “Our goal is to have a trail within 5 miles of every Hoosier by 2020. We are investing $90 million in creating that world-class network of trails here in Indiana,” Crouch said. “We know ground transportation isn’t the only way people and cargo move, so we are going to continue to invest to ensure our global marketplace. Through our Next Level Connections, we will increase our global connectivity like never before. We are investing $20 million in more nonstop transatlantic flights.” The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce holds its business breakfasts monthly. For more, visit zionsvillechamber.org.

Anybody else think there are at least a gazillion more trucks on the road today than there used to be? PLAIN TALK That’s probably because it’s true, and we grumble about “trucks slowing us down.” I read a report by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation a few years ago predicting that the number of trucks on the road would increase by several hundred percent by the year 2026. A couple years later, another release said that increase had already been surpassed. One of the reasons for increased truck traffic is the growth of e-commerce. In 2018, 1 out of 5 purchases in the U.S. was made online. That means it had to be delivered, and that takes trucks. As more shopping goes online, the intensity of trucks delivering packages will continue to escalate. Where once most freight traveled by rail, today more than 71 percent of it gets where it’s going by truck. According to American Trucking Associations, there were 26 million trucks on the road in 2006. Just nine years later, the number had risen to nearly 34 million. Put endto-end, they would form a line that would circle the globe 15 times. The trucking industry has traveled a highly diverse route since 1910, when the first motorized wagons hit the trail. In 1935, the government decided to regulate the industry, and until 1980, when the Motor Carrier Act was passed, freight rates were set and largely unchanged.
“There was no more predictable business in the world than trucking,” one company owner told me. “There was a form for every conceivable trip. Your entire business was arranged alphabetically in a half-dozen file cabinets.” Deregulation changed that, he said. Before that date, there were approximately 300 trucking companies in the U.S. Today, there are more than 700,000. While e-commerce has driven up the number of trucks on the road, more of them are crowding our commute on any given day because many highways and bridges once used by trucks are restricted from truck travel because of poor repair. Safety is another factor the industry has had to deal with. The demand from many manufacturers for “just-in-time” delivery of parts and components a few years ago created a need for speed that resulted in an alarming number of accidents. This has led most states to crack down on speeding trucks, and the industry, in general, to put the brakes on speed. Speed wasn’t the problem when I was a kid. Back then, U.S. 66 was the main truck route across the nation. It also was just two lanes wide. When a truck broke down, everything came to a standstill. Even then we grumbled about “trucks slowing us down.” Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife.

DISPATCHES Lions to honor school nurses — The Zionsville Lions Club invites interested community members to join attend their meeting at 6:30 p.m. April 23 at the clubhouse, 115 Elm St., to honor the school nurses who partner with area Lions in the school vision screening initiative.

ZMS students take first, second place at NHDI contest — Two Zionsville Middle School students took top honors at the 2019 National History Day in Indiana state contest April 13 at the University of Indianapolis. Both Zionsville winners competed in the Junior Individual Documentary category with Sophia Winters taking first place with her project, “The Perfect Horse,” and Lily Nault taking second place with her project, “Yesterday, Today… Tomorrow?

Low unemployment rate leads to difficulty finding workers in some industries By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At first glance, a low unemployment rate seems like a positive trend. In Zionsville, however, local comCOVER STORY panies and the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce are experiencing hiring challenges as a result of the low employment numbers at 2.5 percent. Denise Pierce, owner of DK Pierce & Associates, a health care reimbursement company based in Zionsville, often recruits from the same employment pool as large pharmaceutical companies. To get an edge, she offers incentives larger companies can’t. “The environment we draw from are people that have had experience in the pharmaceutical industry,” she said. In order to attract employees, Pierce has ramped up her firm’s benefits package, including offering medical, vision, dental and long-term care insurance. “(Long-term care insurance) is sort of unique,” Pierce said. “Some might think that’s just for people who are old, but that’s also people who end up in an accident and have to stay under long-term care rehabilitation, or they’re young and have a heart attack. It helps cover for that catastrophe.” In addition, each employee DK Pierce & Associates employee receives a $2,000 credit for a training program, and the company pays up to $4,000 for certain certification programs. It also pays 100 percent, up to $6,000 a year, for employees pursuing masters degrees as long as they maintain an A grade. If they maintain a B, the company pays 75 percent. Other benefits include work-from-home flexibility, which allows employees a set number of days to work remotely. Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lin Moormann said Zionsville has the lowest unemployment rate in Indiana. The low number creates challenges, Moormann such as an untrained workforce or limited options, and Moormann said Indiana Workforce Development is taking steps to overcome those challenges. “We need more workers in the area,” Moormann said. “The state workforce development, Indiana Workforce Develop-

ment, has done a lot of different things and created a lot of cool programs. They’ve created grants to help train people who might not be eligible and need certificates or something like that, and they’ve created grants companies can apply for to help train these people.” Area businesses are encountering the same challenges as Pierce’s company, competing for employess in the same small workforce. “Zionsville in particular, unfortunately, we are not immune to that,” Moormann said. “We have the same type of problems. There’s a good mix of different businesses, and we are close to Whitestown, which has a lot of development going on, so we are pulling from that same employment pool. We are right in the middle of a real robust area filled with opportunities, so it’s been tough for a lot of folks.” Moormann said in Boone County, the majority of employment positions are in the distribution area, such as truck drivers, store clerks and related occupations. The local health care industry also is growing. In Boone County, jobs increased by 21.2 percent from 2013 to 2018, rising from 8,000 positions to 10,000. “Boone County is really changing a lot,” Moormann said. “There’s just so much opportunity right now, but again, we are all pulling from that same workforce pool.”
POTENTIONAL SOLUTION? Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lin Moormann said a number of companies have asked her about the benefit of job fairs. She said they can be productive. “I think job fairs are definitely an opportunity to get people in the door and tell them a little about what your company offers,” she said. “I do think because of the struggle to find good work, I think people have changed their ideas on how workforce culture should be. Unfortunately, there’s not one solution for all businesses, because what might work for a tech company may not work for a distribution company.” When it comes to benefits employees are searching for, Moormann said flexibility is high on the list. “I think flexibility with time is very important, and not just for millennials but also to people who have families,” she said. “That is really highly coveted. People want that right now. Something is going to be more important to one person than another. It’s about finding just the right mix to hire someone who is loyal to your company. That is essentially what we all want, is to hire good people who will stay with us.”

ESSAY Time passages
LETTER
Green New Deal is impractical
Commentary by Terry Anker Preparations are well under way for the impending high school graduation of our youngest. With the milestone has come the review of countless photographs, each imbued with countless memories. Somewhere along the way, he grew up. And it is good. Still, the years have marched by with such grandeur and fanfare that we barely noticed. Now, there he stands, on the brink of heading off into the world. To be entirely honest, the tempest can leave one breathless. How can he be ready to go? How can we be ready to let him? Just as we indulged in a bit of anxiety-nurturing self-pity, the evening mail arrived and in it was an invitation, cleverly marked with the familiar banner from the newspaper printed in my very own high school decades ago. The class president and a committee of familiar names were summoning me home to recognize the accomplishment of a high school graduation occurring long before cellphones, electric cars or social media. While distracted by the advancing years of our progeny, our own anniversaries were ticking away. How could so much time have passed? There must be some mistake. Unique among most things in the physical world, time moves more slowly the closer one is to it. Were we to stare at our watch, it would take significant commitment to endure as the second hand swept around the face. Yet, we sit comfortably while the years fly by, waiting to take action. Self-improvement, work on broken or damaged family relationships and bucket lists written but never implemented loom as we imagine time to be the lumbering second hand rather than a whipping hurricane. Can it be both? Do we have time to decide? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Fun at a funeral Commentary by Danielle Wilson Funerals. Is it wrong to say that under the right circumstances, they can be a lot of fun? Case in point, I’ve just returned from a weekend to celebrate the life HUMOR of my best friend’s dad. He was 88, had a remarkable career as a trial attorney and was one of the nicest men I have known. As I gathered with her, my twin sister and two of our other close gal pals, we realized that we hadn’t been together since our 20-year high school reunion back in 2010. Sure, there were tears (not from me, of course, at least not publicly because I bottle up emotions until they erupt unexpectedly in a drive-thru). But overall, there was joy and laughter and hysterical memories of teenage antics. Two of us had brought along scrapbooks from the late 1980s, depicting self-organized photo shoots in taffeta gowns and big hair. We giggled at how skinny we all were but how fat we remembered
being. We recalled awkward school dances and scandalous spring break vacations, forgotten boyfriends and girl dramas, stupid wine coolers and even stupider fad diets. We even learned a few new things about each other, like the fact that two of our “Fab Five” secretly went to the Bahamas without any of us knowing! The best part, though, was enjoying the true friendship that can only come after 30 years of knowing someone, of experiencing marriage and motherhood and, now, loss together. So, yeah, funerals are sad, and I am certainly not looking forward to the next, but honestly, I haven’t had as much fun in a long time. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough.”
-Mario Andretti
Editor, I should like to politely disagree with the letter by Dr. Steve Simon about the Green New Deal. I do not have a Ph.D., but I do have some common sense. The whole concept of the Green New Deal is one of the most idiotic schemes ever devised by our politicians. The idea of doing away with all fossil fuels is totally impractical. There is no way we can totally depend on wind power or solar power to supply all our energy needs. The most laughable part of this concept is that of doing away with cows to eliminate their flatulence. I am not totally convinced that climate change is as bad as some scientists lead us to believe. Even if we grant that climate change poses an imminent danger to our planet, there must be better ways of dealing with it than with the Green New Deal. Dr. Stevens does not mention it in his letter, but I would like to add that the thinking that the United States should pay the major part of the bill for climate change in the world is another ridiculous idea. Robert J. Tinsky, Fishers

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I always dread the arrival of the monthly AARP magazine. My wife picks through it and confronts me with ways HUMOR we need to amend our current financial and medical approaches to life in our senior years. “Listen to this, Dick. Men over 50 — that’s you since 1997 — who eat fish just once a month are 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack and will live 10 years longer.” “Wow, now that is amazing! So, what’s for dinner?” “Turkey burgers. I don’t want to stink up the house.” This month’s issue had a list of medical questions, including one that caused some distress in our house. One reader was concerned that after she climbed a flight of stairs, she couldn’t catch her breath. “Is this a symptom of heart disease?” she asked. Apparently, she was just out of shape, but then the article’s author offered this: “Here’s a better test. Can you sit on the ground and get up without using your hands? An inability to do this is linked to mortality in adults over 50.” Mary Ellen and I got down on the floor
in a sitting position, which for me was already way harder than I remembered. We squirmed, rolled around on the rug, grunted, banged into each other and started laughing (which is good for your heart, so we accomplished something). “I’m sorry, Mary Ellen, there’s no way I can get off the ground without using my hands. It’s impossible.” “I saw it in a movie once. This guy sat on his carpet and did it easily.” “You were watching ‘Arabian Nights.’” On YouTube, there were lots of videos of people doing this very exercise. What really unnerved me is that there is a 10-point scale and you lose points for using your arms to get up onto your feet. Loss of four points means your chances of living the next five years are reduced. The next time Mary Ellen and I tried the move, I only lost one point. To get to a standing position, I didn’t require my forearms, my elbows, or my hands. I required my wife.

DISPATCHES Stock of the Week — The Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) is incorrectly seen by many investors as just a brokerage offering lowpriced investments. But that is only part of the story. To get high ongoing returns, companies must possess sustainable advantages.Of the different types, behavioral ones are the most enduring. That is what Schwab has, because it owns a bank in addition to its investment arm. It pays low interest on cash deposits, including ones held by Schwab investors — who, for behavioral reasons, stay with the convenience of easy in-and-out money within the Schwab platform. This low cost of funds boosts Schwab’s whole business. And as a bank, it can lend — at high rates — for everything from margin loans to mortgages. All this is on top of the better-known part of Schwab’s business, in the brokerage field. Even if the U.S. economy slows over the next couple of years, Schwab’s banking strength should help it achieve continued revenue and earnings growth. Revenue was $10.13 billion last year and is likely to be $11.07 billion this year and $11.76 billion in 2020. And Schwab’s dividend of $0.68/share/yr. recently yielded 1.53 percent and appears secure. Source: BottomLineInc.com
Picking the best movie theater seat — Even if you love the film you’re watching, getting stuck with a bad seat in the movie theater is all it takes to ruin your cinema experience. Some seats are obviously not ideal, like seats in the very front row or at the edges of the auditorium. But when it comes to all that room in the middle, picking the perfect place to sit may feel like guesswork. According to Popular Science, you shouldn’t select your movie theater seat at random. To see as much of the action as possible, sit in a chair that lines you up with the center of the screen. Moviegoers in this spot will also enjoy better sound quality: Theaters with surround sound blast audio from speakers around the room, creating a harmony that strikes a perfect balance in the middle of the theater. Sitting in the middle of a row may seem like an obvious tip, but things get a little more complicated when deciding how far away from the screen you should be. Instead of choosing the deadcenter row, Vulture recommends sitting about two-thirds of the way back. This is where audio engineers do the primary tests on a theater’s sound system, so the middle seat of this row ends up giving moviegoers the optimal sound experience. Source: Mentalfloss.com

Three members of the Zionsville Lions Club traveled to Mexico last month, along with other Indiana Lions GIVING BACK Club members. Their mission was to fit and provide glasses for those who cannot afford them. Jennifer Blandford, Susan Blandford and Janai Roberts traveled to the city of Pachuca in the state of Hidalgo. They were there from March 2-9. “The Lions are famous for eyeglass recycling,” Jennifer said. “They collect them all over the country and all over the world. We have for decades. We take them to underprivileged areas. We partner with the Lions in that area, and we will screen as many people as will come out.” The group worked nine to 10 hours per day to help residents see more clearly. Many had never had an eye exam. “My team did over 5,000 screenings and dispensed eyeglasses to people who have never had eyeglasses before,” Jennifer said. “So, they come in with vision impairment and left being able to see. It’s amazing to watch.” Patients ranged in age from 18 to 94. “I think this is something we, as Americans, take for granted,” Jennifer said. “We toss pair after pair of glasses in boxes all

over the state and never think another thing about it.” When glasses are donated, they are sorted and tested for prescription strength. They are then cataloged and shipped. “When the patients get their test, we match the glasses to their prescription as close as we can get,” Jennifer said.

DISPATCHES New lung cancer therapy — Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer in the nation, but a new treatment, called immunotherapy, is giving hope to lung cancer patients because of its recent success. Lung cancer is poorly recognized by the immune system, which delays diagnosis until patients are at stage 3 or 4, when it’s too late. Immunotherapy activates the immune system to help the body recognize the cancer earlier. For more information, visit lung.org. Source: American Lung Association Don’t reach for probiotics just yet — For some people, taking a course of antibiotics may cause digestive upset and diarrhea. That’s why so many people now take probiotic supplements after antibiotics.The probiotics will replenish the “friendly” bacteria that are killed by the antibiotics, restoring the “microbiome” — the balance of gut bacteria that we all need for good health (and good digestion). But surprisingly, proof of the effectiveness of this strategy has been highly
debated. Two large studies have taken a closer look, and the argument for using overthe-counter probiotics after antibiotics does not look strong. In the latest study, researchers treated 21 volunteers with a seven-day course of commonly prescribed wide-spectrum antibiotics. Some volunteers were randomly assigned to take an 11-strain probiotic mixture after the course of antibiotics. Result: The microbiomes of the volunteers who didn’t take probiotics recovered within three weeks of the cessation of antibiotics, while those in the probiotic group did not recover even five months after stopping antibiotics.

One specific problem is that fluid accumulates in the legs during the day. When this fluid moves up into the neck and chest it can cause sleep apnea and heart problems. Source: Naturalon.com

Civic delivers ‘Newsies’ at The Tarkington By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Johnny Miller has a special fondness for “Newsies,” so naturally he is delighted to be part of the cast. THEATER “This is one of my favorite shows of all time with such an amazing cast,” Miller said. “I can’t wait for opening night. I can’t wait for the people to come see it. I can’t find anything I don’t like. I’ve listened to it quite a few times.” Miller, a Park Tudor High School junior and Carmel resident, plays Buttons in “Newsies,” which Civic Theatre presents April 26 to May 11 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The musical is based on the Disney film. Jake Letts, a Carmel High School graduate and a Ball State student, plays the lead role of Jack Kelly. Kelly is the charismatic leader of the newsboys and helps lead a strike when New York World publisher Joseph Pulitzer raises the price the newsboys must pay to buy the newspapers from the distribution centers. It is loosely based on New York City’s newsboys’ strike of 1899. Miller has acted in the Civic’s summer program, but this is his first main stage show with Civic. “I’m a singer who happens to move,” Miller said. “I’m definitely in the ensemble, but I kind of do a little bit of everything. Anne Beck, our choreographer, keeps me busy. I have so much fun, it overshadows any problems.” Miller said he became interested in musical theater a couple of years ago. “It was my sister who first showed me this show,” Miller said. “That was my entry into really getting into the theater world. This show means something special to me, for sure.” In Civic’s Young Artists Program, Miller appeared in “Grease” as Roger, one of the T Birds, in 2017 and played one of the gamblers in “Guys and Dolls.” Carmel High School sophomore Emily Chrzanowski plays Les, a newsboy. “I’ve seen the Disney movie and I’ve watched the Broadway stage version,” Chrzanowski said. “The music is amaz-

ing. I love the music. It so touching and the story is so beautiful. Even though it’s taken place over a century ago, it really resonates with today’s environment.” Chrzanowski also performed in “Guys and Dolls” in 2018. On Civic’s main stage in the 2017-18 season, Chrzanowski played Kate, the orphan, in “Annie” and was in the choir a “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” “I love dancing, singing and acting. I love it all,” she said. Emily Schaab, a Noblesville resident, is performing in her first show with Civic. Schaab previously performed with Footlite Musicals and the old Theatre on the Square, which is now The District Theatre.
Schaab plays several different roles. “My main role is Hannah, a secretary,” she said. “I also play a nun, a bowery beauty and a newsie named Newbie.” Schaab said she enjoys playing the mix of characters. “I love the opportunity to play several different characters,” said Schaab, who is originally from New Palestine. “It’s been really fun for me.” Schaab said she has seen the Broadway version several times on Netflix. “I really wanted to do a Civic show, so it was kismet that it was the right time,” she said. “I auditioned and they put me where they needed me.” For more, visit civictheatre.org.

ATI stages ‘Forbidden Broadway’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Don Farrell and his fellow actors had one problem during the first rehearsal for “Forbidden PARODY Broadway: It’s Back, It’s New and Better than Ever.” “It’s like we all reverted back to high school,” Farrell said. “We were constantly cracking each other up. We Farrell have to get the laughs out of the way now so that we don’t laugh on stage and we allow the audience to laugh.” Actors Theatre of Indiana founders Farrell, Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins, along with Logan Moore, are appearing in the musical parody from April 26 to May 19 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “We’re making it fresh for those who have seen what we’ve done in the past,” Farrell said. “And it’s going to be great for people that have never seen it before. It’s zany. A lot of the shows we are parodying have been done in the area. We’re doing something on ‘Newsies,’ which Civic Theatre will be doing at the same time.”
ATI had staged “Forbidden Broadway” in 2011 and then a version at District Theatre in Indianapolis in July 2018 There are 28 Broadway shows parodied in the performance. Billy Kimmel directed the District Theatre production and is returning to direct again. Kimmel estimated 85 percent of the material has changed since the July show. Some greatest hits Kimmel are staples, Kimmel said. Kimmel has been involved with “Forbidden Broadway” since 2003. “I’ve done national tours and Broadway productions through the years,” Kimmel said. “They finished the last version of ‘Forbidden Broadway’ in 2014. The show has been running more than 30 years. It started at a little club in 1982 and grew and grew.” Gerard Alessandrini, creator of “Forbidden Broadway,” is now focused on “Spamilton: An American Parody.” Kimmel and Collins have known each other since attending Ohio University together. Kimmel has acted and directed with ATI since it began in 2005. For more, visit atistage.org.

Asner stars in ‘Soap Myth’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jeff Cohen had a clear mission in writing “The Soap Myth,” a play set a half century after World War II. THEATER “To say that it is of paramount importance that the history of the Holocaust be kept to the forefront of society, that it not be forgotten, that it be studied, and the lessons of the Holocaust are things we can use to present genocide in the future,” Cohen said. “Holocaust denial is a tactic used by antiSemitic people, who want to eradicate this notion of this attempt to exterminate Jews from history. They will use any tactic they can, including what I call pseudo-history. It’s fake history that the Holocaust didn’t happen, or those things happened or those things didn’t.” The Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis, with support of the National Bank of Indianapolis, will present “The Soap Myth” at 7:30 p.m. at the Palladium at The Center for Performing Arts Center in Carmel. Seven-time Emmy winner Ed Asner, famous for his role as Lou Grant on the “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” plays a Holocaust survivor who said the Nazis experimented with making soap from human body fat of Jewish concentration camp victims. Cohen points out a character who is a Holocaust denier who concedes maybe a

few thousand Jews died but that doesn’t mean millions died. “It’s a tactic to literally eradicate what happened from the history books,” Cohen said. “Unfortunately, that aspect of my play is more timely than when I wrote it because we have people who are very effective at lying, having alternate facts and calling what they don’t like fake news. Just because you don’t like the fact that Nazis were almost successful of exterminating an entire group of people from the face of the earth doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.” The play is presented as a reading, so Asner, 89, doesn’t have to memorize his many lines.

Guests can choose between mild, medium, medium hot, hot, extra hot or Thai hot options. I went with the medium option. If you’re looking for something spicy, I suggest medium hot or hot. I am a big fan of Cashew Nut, a stir-fry
chicken with cashews, carrots, mushrooms, baby corn and bell pepper. Chiang Mai Thai Noodle is right off the main drag in Broad Ripple, so the bustling restaurant is an excellent option if you’re looking for an authentic Thai meal while walking the Monon. During warm weather, I suggest you sit on the patio. Suggesting pairings: I had never sampled Thai iced coffee before, and this was a groundbreaking experience for me. It was refreshing and slightly sweet. Get it for $2.99.

Blueprint for Improvement: Building a better bathroom in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene
THE SOLUTION
After
Before
This bathroom had great space but hadn’t had any updates in several years. The homeowners decided to update the look and layout to create a space they could truly enjoy. 1. The linen closet was removed to allow space for a second master closet, accessed from the bedroom. 2. The cabinetry to the left and right of the sink area features pull-out shelves and an extended depth for ample storage. 3. The bathtub was removed to make way for a larger walk-in shower with two heads. The toilet was relocated to its own room. 4. The quartz countertop and backsplash beautifully complement the black slatetile flooring! To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.
Background: This home was built in 2004 in Carmel’s Valleybrook neighborhood. The owners fell in love with the location and the layout of the home and knew they could make cosmetic updates to suit their style.
THE CHALLENGE The homeowners wanted to update several areas, so the projects were planned in phases. Once the interior was complete (including master bath, kitchen, two bathrooms and basement), the homeowners moved in and the exterior phase began.
Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more beforeand-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

There is no future Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt There is no future. Feel free to go back to bed now. You probably GRAMMAR GUY think I’m referring to the fact that we recently took a picture of a black hole, or maybe that climate change is happening at such a rapid pace it seems as if our planet is a lost cause. Actually, I don’t want to talk about the future today. I’d like to discuss the future tense, which, in English, technically doesn’t exist. According to Bas Aarts, author of “Oxford Modern English Grammar,” “English has no future tense, because it has no future tense inflections, in the way that many other languages do, nor any other grammatical form or combination of forms that can exclusively be called a future tense.” When we learn Latin, Spanish, or French in high school, we learn all the first-, second- and third-person verb conjugations in past-, present- and future-tense inflections. English only has one way to express tense with inflections (word endings), and that’s in the past tense.
When we add -ed to a verb like “punt,” it becomes a past-tense verb. I punted the ball onto my neighbor’s roof. We have no future inflections in English. What about “will?” I knew you’d ask. In a sentence like “I will go to the gym tomorrow,” “will” serves as a modal verb, which is an auxiliary verb that expresses necessity or possibility. Other modal verbs are words like shall, can, may and could. In grammar, there’s an important distinction between tense and time. Tense is a grammatical term that is directly tied to a verb’s inflection. Time is a human construct by which we base our reality. In that construct, we have three times — the past, present and future. When we use “will” with a verb, we are expressing future time, but we are not technically making something future tense. If you ask me, it won’t be the future until our flying cars are powered by trash. Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer.

Main Concourse of Grand Central Terminal. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Visiting Grand Central Station Commentary by Don Knebel New York City’s iconic Grand Central Terminal, usually called Grand Central Station, is famous for the vaulted ceilTRAVEL ing of its Main Concourse. Sky watchers have long noticed curious discrepancies between the ceiling and what it was supposed to mimic. In February 1913, the New York Central Railroad opened the Grand Central Terminal at 42nd Street and Park Avenue in New York City to service the many inter-city passenger trains entering and leaving the city every day. To make sure passengers appreciated the meaning of “grand,” the 48-acre facility included an enormous concourse at the center of its ground level. The 30,000-square-foot hall featured an elliptical barrel ceiling rising 125 feet above the floor. The original idea of covering the ceiling with skylights was scrapped in favor of painting it blue and adding 2,500 stars arranged to depict the constellations visible in New York’s winter sky. Immediately after the public opening, New Yorkers pointed out that the positions of most of the con-
stellations were reversed left to right from their observable positions. No one has adequately explained the mix-up, which was intentionally repeated when the celestial mural was recreated on a wooden ceiling placed beneath the leaky original. Today, Grand Central Station’s 44 underground platforms, the most of any railroad terminal in the world, serve more than 250,000 passengers traveling each day within New York City and to and from nearby cities. An additional 20 million people visit the terminal each year to enjoy its 60 shops, 35 restaurants or just each other, consistently ranking it among the world’s 10-most visited places. Grand Central Station is featured in “Carrying the Banner,” one of the principal songs in Disney’s “Newsies,” the Broadway hit that opens Friday for a three-weekend run at Carmel’s Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre.

DISPATCHES Wood floor repair — Some wood-floor scratches look worse than they really are. If you run your fingers over the scratch and you don’t feel a deep gouge, try this remedy to make it disappear. Dab a bit of white toothpaste onto the minor scratch, and rub it in with a damp sponge. Wipe the scratch area completely clean with a dry cloth, and your scratch should be gone. Source: BottomLineInc.com
Recycle dryer sheets — One good way to use up old dryer sheets is to tuck them into any items that are going to be stored away. Items such as camping gear, boots, linens, storage boxes, etc. are ideal. The dryer sheets can help ward off musty odors that may accumulate in such items over time. Source: FamilyHandyman.com
