Zionsville Plan Commission approves $23M development plan for Hoosier Village expansion

By Natalie Gargiulo Natalie@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Plan Commission approved a proposed $23 million expansion for Hoosier Village, a 300-acre DEVELOPMENT senior living community in Zionsville, during its May 15 meeting. The commission approved the project in a 7-0 vote.

The 26.8-acre expansion proposed in the southwestern section of the Hoosier Village campus will include 89 attached two- and three-story townhomes, a dog park and a community garden.

The expansion will add nearly 32 buildings to the existing development.

Price ranges for the townhomes have not been determined but buyers will be on an entry fee product with a continuing care agreement, much like the rest of the community.

“Hoosier Village has expanded significantly over the years,” Hoosier Village President of Public Relations Nancy Nelson said. “We pay a great deal of attention to what our potential residents and customers are looking for in a retirement community.”

The townhomes will have a light, medium or dark exterior color palette, seen throughout the neighborhood, with a sidewalk leading to a private entrance on the front of each unit. Also included will be a two-car garage at the rear of each building.

The floor plan includes two or three bedrooms with an interior elevator to service each unit.

Preservation of existing trees will be part of the landscaping.

“This represents the last significant area on the traditional Hoosier Village campus that has not been developed,” said Tim Oakes, an attorney representing Baptist Homes of Indiana Senior Living. “BHI currently has a wait list of over 400 people that would like to move into Hoosier Village but they simply can’t do so.”

the entrance is part of the proposal as a new entry monument will be constructed within an existing island on Hoosier Village Drive near 96th Street.

“This will be a new style of product for BHI, and we think it will be well received,” Oakes said.

The new dog park and community garden will be next to the southeast area of the site and will be open to the entire community of Hoosier Village.

The expansion will be done in phases, starting with the development of the infrastructure and units along Hoosier Village Road as Phase 1. There will be a total of four phases.

Hoosier Village expects to break ground this summer.

What’s next: The proposal will be presented to the Zionsville Town Council at a future meeting. The meeting date has not yet been established.

What happened: The plan commission voted 4-2 for a favorable recommendation to go to the Zionsville Town Council for a proposed petition for the rezoning of a development in Zionsville.

What it means: Old Town Land Development, LLC petitioned for the rezoning of 260 acres from the rural R-2 classification to a planned unit development for the Wild Air development at 8700 E. Ind. 334 and 5990 S. 900 E. in Zionsville. The PUD classification would provide for a mixed-use development including single-family residential (consisting of estate lots, traditional neighborhood designs, ranches and cottages), townhomes, apartments, retail, a senior living facility, a civic use and preserved woodlands.

What’s next: The Wild Air proposal will go before the Zionsville Town Council at a future meeting.

The plan commission voted 7-0 in favor of a proposed amendment to subdivide a site in Zionsville, with conditional approval subject to a resolution of items of design-speed standards, design standards for typical residential cross sections and design standards for driveway space.

What it means: Henke Development Group, LLC petitioned for approval of an amendment to subdivide the 17.123 acres into 37 single-family lots and a block for future single-family lots for the Holiday Farms development at 3595 Marketplace Ct. in Zionsville. The site is undeveloped and was originally approved as a single lot in Holliday Farms.

The site is on the northeast corner of Holliday Farms.

What’s next: The proposal will be presented to the Zionsville Town Council at a future meeting.

Daly gears up for another Indy 500 run

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Conor Daly spent his youth preoccupied with the Indianapolis 500.

It’s not hard to understand as his father, RACING Derek Daly, was a six-time Indy 500 starter in the 1980s. The younger Daly was born and raised in Noblesville and graduated from Heritage Christian School.

“Every day I could get out of school early and go to Indy 500 practice, I would do it,” Daly said. “This event more than any other means more to me because it’s just something I felt connected to.”

Daly Daly’s ties to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway run even deeper as his stepfather, Doug Boles, is the IMS president. Boles and Daly’s mother, Beth, live in Zionsville.

Daly, 31, is expected to make his 10th start May 28 in the Indy 500. Daly said he was never certain he would have this many 500 starts.

“You just want to do as many races as you can,” he said.

“Now, I want to get to 25 Indy 500s, because every year I feel like I learn something new. Every year it never gets old showing up here every day. It’s just the best feeling ever, and it’s just so cool to be part of.”

Daly is coming off his best 500 finish, placing sixth last

year. His previous best finish was 10th in 2019. Daly led 40 laps in 2021 but finished 13th after his car suffered damage from a flying tire on the 118th lap.

“In 2021, it really felt like we had a car to win the race and that was like the first time that I really felt that before,” said Daly, who lives in downtown Indianapolis. “Then last year, I wouldn’t say we felt the same speed, but we were confident enough to be at the front. The Ganassi (Racing) cars were the fastest cars, but we were right there with them. So, it feels good every time I get here.

I feel like I have enough experience to take advantage of the situation, no matter where we start, no matter where we’re at in the race. I feel like I’ve gained enough patience

to be there at the end.”

Daly, who finished 19th in the May 13 Grand Prix, said the Carpenter Racing team does better at IMS than anywhere else on the IndyCar schedule.

“We’ve found what works, and thankfully for us, we haven’t had to stray away from that too much, so that’s good,” said Daly, who is in his fourth season with Carpenter’s team. “Everyone here for Ed Carpenter Racing has been quick the last few years here, so that’s been fun to be a part of.”

In February, Daly had the opportunity to compete in the Daytona 500 for Hall of Fame boxer Floyd Mayweather’s part-time NASCAR team. After needing some luck to make the field, Daly finished 29th.

“To be able to do the Daytona 500 and Indy 500 in the same year is a pretty cool group to be a part of, and the number of drivers that have done both in the same year is even smaller,” Daly said. “I’ve been very lucky to drive so many different cars that every time I get into something else, I think it does add to my package as a driver.”

Daly was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 14. The hard work to monitor his condition never goes away.

“I don’t want to ruin it for any other diabetics that are growing up trying to be racecar drivers by having some sort of bad experience out on the track,” Daly said. “I definitely find myself capable of doing whatever I need to do in my life while living with it.”

Teacher firearms bill OK’d

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com Gov. Eric Holcomb has signed a bill allowing teachers to apply for state funding for firearms training.

LEGISLATION House Bill 1177 authored by State Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, was signed into law by Holcomb earlier this month. Under the legislation, which takes effect July 1, it creates a 40-hour firearms safety, education and training curriculum for teachers, school staff and employees.

In an interview with Current earlier this year, State Sen. Andrea Hunley, D-Indianapolis, commented on guns and arming teachers with them.

“We talk a lot about parental rights in the legislature. Parents should have the right to be informed of their school district’s policy on arming teachers,” Hunley said.

“Parents should have the right to determine whether or not their child is in a classroom with a loaded weapon.”

She added: “I understand the argument that since the state allows teachers to carry guns, the state should support ensuring

that the teachers are trained. What I don’t understand is why we aren’t addressing the root causes that got us to this point in the first place. Instead of addressing a symptom of lax gun regulations, let’s address the regulations we could put in place to make our entire state safer.”

Under the law, employees can apply for grant funding for gun training through the state’s school secured fund, which would require schools to ensure that individuals comply with certain requirements. Under Indiana law, school districts can permit teachers to be armed, but no training is mandated, according to The Associated Press.

A message seeking comment from Indiana State Teachers Association spokeswoman Kim Clements-Johnson on the organization’s position regarding the legislation was not immediately returned by the deadline.

Attempts to reach Zionsville Community Schools for comment were unreturned by press deadline.

Editor Natalie Gargiulo contributed to this story.

We nurture ingenuity.

Aspiring innovators rarely go from zero to life-changing on their own. They start early, in an environment that rewards their drive to create better ways to do things. They model themselves after teachers and visionaries who show them what changing the world looks like, one invention at a time.

Teacher of the year named for Zionsville Schools district

By Natalie Gargiulo Natalie@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community Schools named Courtney Stein Teacher of the Year at the May 7 Zionsville ComRECOGNITION munity Schools Board of Trustees meeting.

“Being a teacher and getting to spend my days with my students is the most rewarding part,” Stein said. “I teach because I love kids and I love being able to inspire them.

To be able to do it in the community where I grew up just makes the experience more amazing. I love being able to touch the little lives of the students and make as much of a difference as I can.”

Stein, 27, is a third-grade teacher at Trailside Elementary School in Zionsville.

She graduated from IUPUI in 2019 and has taught ever since.

The Teacher of the Year is selected through a committee of former school board members, community members and retired teachers.

“Some of my favorite memories are the special days I have with my students,” Stein said. “I transform my classroom once a month into an interactive learning experience for the students. I hang tarps, jellyfish and inflatables to make the classroom look like Jurassic Park, an ocean or a carnival and it builds great memories for me and my students,” she said.

Stein will now advance to the state level competition for an opportunity to be named Indiana’s Teacher of the Year for the 2022-23 academic year.

Remembering Smitty mufflers Commentary by Ward Degler Let’s face it, boys like noise. That includes adult boys. When they are young, they devote themselves to drums, PLAIN TALK horns and clackety-clack push toys.

When they grow older, they discover cars.

More importantly, they discover that cars can make noise, and lots of it. The champion noisemaker for cars has long been the Smitty muffler. A couple of guys who drive down my street apparently have made that discovery. I can hear them coming from blocks away.

Back in the day, Smitty mufflers were a religion. There was no other sound quite like it.

In the early 1950s, American cars came from the factory with a single exhaust pipe.

The mufflers were filled with baffles designed to eliminate engine sound. This was highly frustrating for the average American boy who cut his teeth on motor noise.

“Vroom, vroom!” were probably the first words most of us learned.

Finally, some guy invented a different kind of muffler, a straight pipe filled with fiberglass. The Glasspack, as it became known, muffled the sound, too, but a magical thing happened after you drove the car for a while. The fiberglass began to burn out and the muffler developed a throaty rumble. The more you drove it, the deeper the rumble.

Overnight, every boy in America was ripping off his old mufflers and installing Smittys. And since one good thing is never enough, they also split the exhaust manifold into two pipes, installed double Smittys and entered into the ethereal aura of muffler heaven.

Suddenly, up and down the streets of small town America the harmonious roar of Smitty mufflers filled the air. Muffler shops became churches and backyard mechanics were turned into gods.

Times have changed, and the song of the Smitty muffler has receded. Except for a couple of guys on my street who apparently can’t get “vroom vroom” out of their heads.

Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife. He is the author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”

University High School senior draws MLB attention

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It’s easy for University High School senior pitcher Jake Hooker to pinpoint the biggest improvement of his career.

Fastball velocity, he said.

Trailblazers coach Chris Estep said Hooker’s fastball has been clocked as high as 95 Hooker mph this season.

“Every year, his velocity has climbed and climbed,” Estep said. “He has a really good slider and a nice changeup.”

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-hander also plays shortstop for University. Although his college future is as a pitcher, Hooker was recruited as a two-way player by Xavier University.

“I’ve put on 15 to 20 pounds since junior season,” said the Zionsville resident, who also credits work in the weight room for his added strength.

As of May 15, Hooker had a 3-3 record with a 2.77 earned run average. He was hit-

Favorite athlete: Tiger Woods Favorite subject: English Favorite movie: “Whiplash” ting .270 with four homers.

“I started off slow (hitting) this year,” Hooker said. “I’ve been able to turn it on recently and heat up at the plate.”

Hooker struck out 12 and gave up only one earned run in six innings in a 4-0 loss to Cathedral.

“He was outstanding in that game,” Estep said. “He’s had a tremendous career for us.”

Last season, Hooker had a 3-2 record

with a 1.82 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings. He hit .405 with three homers.

“You couldn’t ask for a better player and better kid,” Estep said.

Hooker, who plans to major in finance at Xavier, also is drawing strong interest from Major League Baseball scouts. He chose Xavier over the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan. The MLB Draft is set for July 9-11. Prior to the season, Hooker was No. 224 on Prospects Live’s list of top 2023 MLB Draft prospects.

Hooker said his goal is to play professional baseball, whether that happens next season or after attending Xavier.

“It’s tricky, but it has to happen before you really think about it,” Hooker said of what his draft position would need to be for him to forego his scholarship. “It just depends on the dollar amount and those things.”

Hooker said the Trailblazers can make a run at the IHSAA Class 2A state title.

“Our bats need to come alive a little bit, but me and the other senior (Seth Hogg) are pretty dominant on the mound and we feel we can pretty much pitch to anybody,” Hooker said. “If we can score some runs, we’ll be fine and be able to make a long run, hopefully.”

Zionsville Little League offers inclusive baseball team

By Edward Redd edward@youarecurrent.com Baseball is widely regarded as a sport that allows children to have fun with their peers while developing and learning important skills. The Zionsville Little League understands the importance of inclusivity and accessibility for children interested in playing the game.

The Zionsville Little League offers the Challenger League for children and adults up to 25 who have special needs. The league has only one team that splits into smaller teams that play against each other.

On Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., games take place at Lions Park in Zionsville. The program is open to players ages 7 to 25.

According to the team’s coach, Andy Small, the team was organized approximately 16 years ago. It serves as a space for children who would otherwise be left behind in sports.

“These kids don’t have opportunities,” Small said. “Some of these kids have tried to play tee ball and it just doesn’t work because of their special needs. This is an opportunity for them, and they have an absolute blast.”

Laura Nolan, a pediatric occupational therapist and one of the team’s volunteers, said the team has more than 30 children who live in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Zionsville. On game day, the team is divided into smaller teams that scrimmage one another.

“Teams are based on how big the children are and where they are developmentally as opposed to age,” Nolan said. “At 9.a.m, we have about 15 of our younger kids. We split it down the middle. About seven and seven. They play (against) each other. Then at 10 a.m., we have our bigger kids. We have a 9-year-old on the big kid group up until probably 24 or 25.”

Nolan said the games are more informal as they are adapted to accommodate children with learning and physical disabilities.

During games, volunteers help children whenever they may need it, as with catching, batting and running. Pitching is done in a safe and relaxed manner.

Since joining the team, Eli Reid has made new friends. Micah Reid said the team has made a positive impact on his son and the other players.

“I have noticed over the years the communication level has increased,” Micah Reid said. “They have friends, and they have that community. It’s definitely good for the kids and their social skills.”

The Challenger League plays every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Anyone looking to volunteer is welcome to come on game days. Nolan said the team always welcomes volunteers. Registration for the spring season is closed but fall registration opens in July.

Anyone interested in more information on the Challenger League can contact Small at asmall60614@hotmail.com.

HISTORY OF THE CHALLENGER LEAGUE

Coach, volunteers and players gather before a Saturday morning game.

During her 12 years of volunteering for the team, Nolan has watched some of the kids grow up on the team. She said watching them improve their skills and social relationships has been a special experience.

“Especially when you come back and maybe haven’t seen them for basically a year,” Nolan said. “They have grown so much.”

Laura and Micah Reid’s son, Eli Reid, has been on the team for five years. The Zionsville residents have seen the positive

impact the team has made on their son and the other players.

Laura Reid has witnessed the team improve through the years as the players have developed a strong grasp of the fundamentals, being able to catch, throw and hit the ball.

Laura Reid said children with physical challenges have progressed as well.

“There’s a couple of kids out here who started off in braces or in wheelchairs who don’t use them anymore,” she said.

The Challenger League started 16 years ago with only 15 players.

Through the years, the league – which consists of a single team -- has doubled. It welcomes residents from Zionsville and surrounding communities who want to play or volunteer.

Laura Nolan has been volunteering since she was in high school. She believes it is important for the community to provide programs like the Challenger League to promote opportunities and inclusion.

“It’s really not that inspirational, in a sense,” Nolan said. “It’s just a bunch of kids living their normal lives playing baseball in a way that just looks a little different from other kids.”

Heaven can wait?

Commentary by Terry Anker We learn from the earliest stages of our corporal existence that we are born obligated with choice. The ESSAY youngest among us evaluates with discerning palate between creamed carrot and pureed meat. Even as the tiny jars appear identical and Mom’s encouraging airplane-spoon-trick urges the tyke to eat, they decide, with some indignity, what to ingest.

As we mature, the thought experiments begin, and by elementary school we might deliberate if we’d rather eat a bug or have a pop quiz in math. By high school, we ponder skipping the prom or going with our best friend’s sister, who pities our date-lessness. Today, we ruminate on sitting in cheap seats versus staying home to watch on television. Mostly, they are imagined alternatives. The teacher is unlikely to cancel the test even if the insect consumed is of considerable heft. Yet the questions help us define our own limits. They bound what we might do for opportunity, for options, for hope.

In a group of first-generation Americans recently talking about their origin story to join Team USA, one Central African told of the question often asked of youngsters in his hometown, now some 8,000 miles away: “Would you rather go to heaven or America?” As if his sitting in the room didn’t make the response self-evident, someone asked how he responded. “Well,” he said, “heaven can wait.”

A wise person once proclaimed America “the world’s migration to freedom.” The very prospect of gaining command of English, securing passage and bringing all that he had in himself to contribute to this place was enough to propel and imbed a young African here in the Hoosier heartland. This would be a better place, and for living here, he would be a better person. It may not be the story for all, but it is his story.

Recipe for a savory Mother’s Day Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, after nearly 25 years of being a mom, I think I’ve finally honed HUMOR my Mother’s Day recipe to perfection. Please enjoy!

1. Preheat Sunday by letting your partner know that you’ll be AWOL for most of the day. If your kitchen does not include a Sunday or if, like me, your Sunday is generally broken because of anxiety ahead of the looming school week, you can always reposition the rack to Saturday.

2. The night before, be sure to place the entire package of Restful Sleep in a cool, dark space. Personally, I prefer the larger 10-hour bag, but the eight will work, too. Chef’s choice!

3. Begin by mixing the chilled Restful Sleep with one cup of coffee and six tablespoons of social media scrolling.

Add your favorite flavor of Breakfast 4. On a nonstick cookie sheet, carefully toss together Amanda’s Exchange, Macy’s and a broccoli-cheddar bread bowl from Panera. Bake at 350 for 180 minutes or until you’ve found a miracle one-piece that both slims and lifts.

“If your kitchen does not include a Sunday or if, like me, your Sunday is generally broken because of anxiety ahead of the looming school week, you can always reposition the rack to Saturday.”

– DANIELLE WILSON 5. Now, combine ingredients from Steps 3 and 4 in a medium saucepan. Stir in several cans of sisters-in-law, along with a jar of family tea. Simmer for two hours at Java House.

6. Remove from heat; let stand until cool.

Serve with a side of buttered popcorn and a solo viewing of “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.” Add parenting affirmations to taste.

There you have it, folks. My recipe for a perfect Mother’s Day. Peace out.

Center for the Performing Arts 2023-24 schedule features diverse offerings

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Center for the Performing Arts 202324 schedule is slated to be a diverse presentation of musical genres MUSIC with a mix of newcomers and old favorites.

“We’ve managed to curate what I think is going to be a really diverse set of performances throughout the entire season starting earlier than we have in the past with shows in August,” said Jeff McDermott, president and chief executive officer of the Center for the Performing Arts. “We have a great mix of everything from jazz, pop, rock, comedy, country, classical, songbook, international family, you know, all in the past with bringing back some favorites or bringing a lot of new stuff.

I would say that the programming isn’t done. We know as we have done in the past that we’ll continue to add significant shows throughout the season. There’s lots of different types of artists who work on shorter windows and time.

“You have three and four months out rather than nine to 12 months out, and so we’ll be bringing in those opportunities as we go as well.”

In particular, McDermott said comedians tend to be booked three to four months out.

McDermott said he is eager to have Katharine McPhee and her husband David Foster perform Nov. 4. The couple were on the schedule twice but were postponed because of the pandemic, and then the third scheduled appearance in 2021 was canceled.

“We’re glad to get them back on our schedule,” McDermott said.

On Oct. 20, Harry Chapin at 80 features members of the Chapin family singing the late singer’s classics.

“I’m a big Harry Chapin fan, so I’m excited for that,” McDermott said.

The action kicks off early with August solo performances by rockers Chris Daughtry (Aug. 9) and Ben Harper (Aug. 15), both making their debut appearances at

‘BEAUTY & THE BEAST’ “Beauty & the Beast” runs through July 9 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

LIVE AT THE CENTER The Live at the Center series presents Public Universal Friend at 7:30 p.m. May 31 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Tickets are $5 for in-person or register for the free livestream at thecenterpresents.org.

the Center for the Performing Arts.

Spyro Gyra will be the headliner at the Carmel Jazz Festival Aug. 12.

Other first-timers on the 2023-2024 schedule include The Police drummer Stewart Copeland (Oct. 19), Bruce Cockburn (Nov. 1), singer-songwriters Meshell Ndegeocello (Nov. 18), New Orleans sax great Branford Marsalis (Jan. 26, 2024) and Indiana singer Carrie Newcomer (March 9) in The Tarkington.

Copeland’s Police Deranged for Orchestra features a 28-piece orchestra, three vocalists and a rock trio with Copeland on drums. It is packed with Police hits such as “Roxanne,” “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” and “Message in a Bottle.”

McDermott said returning to the Palladium are favorites from seasons past, including the Righteous Brothers (Oct. 6), jazz guitarist Bill Frisell (Oct. 21) and singer-songwriter Bruce Hornsby (March 9, 2024).

The Little Mermen: The Ultimate Disney Tribute Band will have two performances Nov. 5.

Tribute acts performing will include Wish You Were Here: The Sight and Sound of Pink Floyd (Oct. 14) and Rumours: A Fleetwood Mac Tribute (April 20, 2024) “We really like bringing in tribute bands if they are high quality,” McDermott said.

A.J. Croce, son of the late singer Jim Croce, will perform “Croce Plays Croce” March 30, 2024, at the Palladium.

“We had A.J. Croce in at The Tarkington (in March 2022) and thought we would get 500 people and we doubled that and added a second show,” McDermott said. “We are looking forward to bringing him to the Palladium for one big show.”

McDermott said the Holiday Series is always special.

“Dave Koz has become a perennial favorite,” McDermott said. “We’ll bring him back here every year as long as he wants to keep coming back.”

Koz & Friends Christmas Tour will stop Dec. 5. Some other holiday concerts include Jim Brickman: A Joyful Christmas, Nov. 30; The Midtown Men: Holiday Hits, Dec. 1; and Jon McLaughlin & Friends: Home for the Holidays, Dec. 8 The season will close with Michael Feinstein performing with a yet-to-be-announced special guest May 17, 2024.

The season presents live education events free for area students and school groups in matinees. Shows include Animaniacs (Oct. 5), Mad River: Keep Marching (Jan. 18, 2024) and Sammy Miller and the Congregation (April 19, 2024).

GHDT presents ‘Director’s Cut’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s 25th anniversary season has been a celebration of its many works.

DANCE “Throughout the entire season, GHDT has been showcasing repertoire pieces from the company’s distant and recent past,” said Gregory Hancock, GHDT’s executive artistic director.

“Part of the 25th-season celebration was to demonstrate how the company’s past has shaped where the company is today.

Audience members have been able to see repertoire never seen before or not seen for several years. Dancers have also been able to experience many new works throughout the season.”

The season will conclude with “Director’s Choice,” which is set for 7 p.m. June 9-10 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“As a director and choreographer, it has been wonderful to look back at many vintage pieces,” Hancock said. “One beautiful aspect of a repertoire program is that I can see all the past dancers who have per-

formed in these pieces, as well as shape new dancers into the dances. So, while it is exciting to see new dancers in roles, it is also sentimental to think of the past performers or where my life was at the creation of each dance.”

“Director’s Choice” features seven repertoire pieces.

“Every dance piece is not always a fulllength piece, but often shorter repertoire pieces, which allows the audience to experience a variety of emotions and styles of dance unique to each piece,” Hancock said.

“Soir Blue”

by Edward Hopper in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Portrait of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.

A visit to the Whitney Museum of American Art Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in the continuing series about often-overlooked New York City TRAVEL destinations, we visit the Whitney Museum of American Art at its new location in the Meatpacking District.

Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the great-granddaughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt, became a well-regarded sculptor after visiting Paris in the early 1900s. Living in New York, she learned that American artists were having difficulty selling art incorporating new ideas. She began purchasing pieces from living American artists, usually within a year of their creation. In 1931, after the Metropolitan Museum of Art declined her offer of 500 pieces from a collection of about 7,000, she opened the Whitney Museum of American Art, popularly called the “Whitney,” in Greenwich Village. In 1954, after Whitney’s death, the museum moved to 54th Street, and then in 1966, to a new building at Madison Avenue and 75th Street.

In 2015, the Whitney moved to a new building in the Meatpacking District, between the Hudson River and the High Line, now an above-ground urban park. The eight-story building, designed by architect Renzo Piano,

includes about 50,000 square feet of indoor gallery space and 18,000 square feet of outdoor exhibition space.

Today, the Whitney, including more than 26,000 works by American artists from the 20th and 21st centuries, is considered the most comprehensive museum in the world displaying such art. The 3,800 artists represented include some of the best-known American artists from that period, including Ansel Adams, Thomas Hart Benton, Stuart Davis, Jasper Johns, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko and Andy Warhol.

The collection also includes sculptures by Whitney herself and more than 3,000 works

by Edward Hopper, including 133 oil paintings and 2,500 drawings, including sketches for his most famous works, including “Nighthawks.” When you visit the Whitney, stop at the vibrant Chelsea Market nearby, where Nabisco’s Oreo cookies were once made.

Praising librocubicularianism Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’m a proud librocubicularist. As much as you probably want this to mean I’m starting a new political party of which I will be its presidenGRAMMAR GUY tial candidate, alas, this isn’t the case.

The Word Nerd party would be a better name, although “librocubicularist” is my current favorite sesquipedalian word.

To be a librocubicularist is to be someone who reads in bed. I love reading in bed. After kids are asleep and I’m winding down for the day, I read for about 20 to 30 minutes. And, for me, it has to be fiction.

You see, I used to read nonfiction books about ways to help right the wrongs of the world, or about problems of injustice.

While these books are definitely important, reading them before bed would get my mind ramped back up, leading to trouble sleeping.

When I’m lost in a good work of fiction (or even a so-so one), my brain can escape to a make-believe world where the outcome has no real-world ramifications.

Right now, I’m about to finish Stephen

King’s seven-book “Dark Tower” series for the fourth time. Each time I read it, I find new details. While King’s magnum opus may not be for everyone, I highly suggest you give Book 1, “The Gunslinger,” a try.

Reading for 20 minutes a day has incredibly positive effects on kids. For instance, if you read to your child for 20 minutes per day, they’ll be exposed to 1.8 million words per year. Spending screenfree time with your children gives you great bonding time and allows you to enter into literature as a team.

I encourage you to become a librocubicularist. Whether you read physical or digital books, I recommend winding down your day in bed with a good book. It will allow your mind to forget the troubles of today as well as the challenges you’ll face tomorrow. After all, each day holds enough trouble of its own.
