Boone County Council holds special meeting for discussion following justice commission report

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Council and Boone County Commissioners met in a joint session June 2 to discuss DEVELOPMENT findings of a May 6 report published by the Boone County Justice Commission. The Boone County Council established the commission late last year to enhance oversight and transparency for a proposed $60 million Boone County Justice Center project, which would expand jail and administrative space.

The Boone County Council is scheduled to meet at 8:30 a.m. June 14 in the Boone County Annex, 116 W. Washington St., Lebanon.

There will be a public hearing for a proposed 0.2 percent Jail Local Income Tax to fund the $60 million project.

The justice commission report recommended denying the project as presented, stating some expansions where not necessary or feasible. The report also recommended further investigation.

Prior to the June 2 meeting, the Boone County Commissioners issued a statement that the report was inaccurate, and no support was provided to substantiate its conclusions. The councilors and commissioners debated several findings, including the need for more jail beds, a juvenile holding facility, increased space for the coroner’s and prosecutor’s offices and community corrections department.

Boone County Council member Elise Nieshalla said ideally, taxes wouldn’t be raised to fund the justice center project.

“Boone County citizens are already feeling the Nieshalla hardship of inflation, and my goal is to see our public safety needs met without a tax increase,” she said. “To that end, we are investigating funding opportunities through the significant new economic development occurring in Boone

County, calculating growing revenues and paying attention to the emerging criminal justice reform initiatives happening at the state level that could help meet our public safety needs going forward.”

JAIL BEDS The Boone County Commissioners are requesting an initial additional 102 jail beds to its current total of 184.

The justice commission report claimed a need existed but not to the extent requested. The commission recommended a more detailed investigation for the need.

State statute requires jails operate below 80 percent capacity. As of June 2, the Boone County Jail was at 93 percent capacity.

Sheriff Mike Nielsen said the county’s population growth could lead to more crime and more inmates. Boone County Council member and justice commission cochair Aaron Williams asked if population growth correlated directly with more Nielsen crime. He said only 40 percent of Boone County Jail inmates reside in the county. Nielsen said even if lawbreakers don’t reside in Boone County, as the county grows and business development opportunities arise, crime would likely increase.

Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood said major felonies in Boone County were up by 50 percent this year.

“We had five people arrested in a three-week period in Whitestown for armed robbery, and they were all from out of town,” Eastwood said. “We had a person arrested in WhitesEastwood town for a bomb threat who also was from out of town.”

Eastwood said misdemeanors related to drunk driving and drug possession have decreased, which he attributes to a police shortage. He said Zionsville and Whites-

town plan to add 10 to 12 patrol officers in the coming year, and an increase in criminal cases would likely follow.

The justice center project proposes an expanded community corrections program.

Eastwood said community corrections beds operate at 65 percent of the cost of jail beds. Community corrections is the supervision of offenders through probation or work-release programs, as opposed to confining offenders in correctional facilities.

JUVENILE HOLDING FACILITY Another proposal is for a new juvenile segregation unit with six beds in order for the justice center to be in compliance with new sight or sound laws, which state that offenders cannot be housed next to adult cells, share dining halls, recreation areas or any other common spaces with adults.

Juveniles would be held in the segregation unit for 48 to 72 hours, such as while awaiting sentencing or between court hearings.

Attorney/client meeting rooms, a school services area and juvenile-specific beds are also proposed for the facility.

CORONER, PROSECUTOR AND CORRECTIONS SPACE Boone County Coroner Justin Sparks, Community Corrections Executive Director Michael Nance and Eastwood spoke on the need for expanded space in their respective departments. Although the justice commission report stated additional space might be warranted, it said moving to the new justice center might not be necessary or fiscally responsible.

Sparks said the Boone County Coroner’s Office is required to use an Indiana Dept. of Health fatality trailer if/when the Witham Hospital morgue reaches capacity.

New morgue space in the proposed justice center is estimated to cost $1 million.

Williams suggested Sparks research what it would cost if Witham Hospital were to CONTINUED on Page 3

expand its morgue as an alternative. Sparks said he hadn’t discussed potential costs with hospital CEO Kelly Braverman, but Braverman supports building a new morgue in the justice center project, saying it is what the county deserves.

“If (residents) pass away, I have to treat them with dignity,” Sparks said. “I have to look their family in the face and tell them I’m going to treat their loved ones like they’re my family member. I have to put people in an outside portable trailer when I do that, and I don’t feel like I’m meeting my obligation when I do that.”

Sparks said he expects residents would be willing to pay a nominal tax increase if it meant their deceased family members were treated with dignity.

Nance spoke on the community corrections department’s need for more space as well. Nance said the department recently split a closet into space for two offices and fit four offices into a conference room.

“We literally can’t build anymore offices in our current space,” he said. “We are now taking drug screens and paperwork and everything in the hallway, which we shouldn’t be doing.”

Council approves Promontory project by Henke Development

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A development consisting of mostly single-family homes with 2- to 3-acre lots was unanimously approved TOWN NEWS at the June 6 Zionsville Town Council meeting.

The council approved a rezone request

by Henke Development for 321 acres east of Michigan Road and south of County Road 200. The development, called Promontory, will include 80 single-family lots, an area for equestrian uses and a 35-acre lake in the center of the development.

Matt Price spoke on behalf of Henke Development prior to the council’s vote.

“What is really the defining characteristic of the property is a central lake, which improves the property,” he said. “It’s a beautiful body of water. Today, it just has a single-family residence on the entire property. The idea is to create a rural residential setting.”

Price said the amenity area was divided into sub areas that include an equestrian area, lakefront area, a meeting space area and an open space area. Price said the lake was the largest body of water in Boone County.

The Promontory planned use development ordinance describes the development as “picturesque.” “(Promontory is) a property so beautiful — but hardly visible from the very road that lies below — with rolling fields, mature trees and in the heart of this enclave, an expansive 35-

acre lake. Within moments of arriving, you’ll hear the waves rippling or see the sun casting its farewell to the day across the water,” the ordinance stated. “This kind of living invites you outdoors, to explore and linger in nature’s community — and quite possibly, providing the ideal balance for those seeking privacy and space. Promontory allows one to enjoy the conveniences of Zionsville, its schools and more, but also allows one to savor nature’s beauty in large, 2-plus acre homesites, expansive settings and unobstructed views both on the water and off, as well as Equestrian fields for horses to roam (and their owners, too.) Here moments might be spent kayaking around the lake, cycling the country roads, greeting an equestrian sunrise or simply enjoying fireside family time by the water. Either way, it will feel special because it is special.”

Henke Development also has developed other custom-home neighborhoods, such as The Bridgewater and Chatham Hills in Westfield.

Town council establishes public safety task force

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council recently formed a public safety task force after councilor Josh Garrett raised concerns about the community GOVERNMENT in the wake of the deadly Uvalde, Texas, school shooting.

After a brief discussion at the June 6 town council meeting, the task force was established June 8. The task force will examine issues related to community and school safety. It will be led by council members Alex Choi, Brad Burk and Josh Garrett.

According to a press release from the council, the task force will engage Mayor Emily Styron, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Zionsville Police Dept., Zionsville Fire Dept., teachers and administrators from Zionsville schools, mental health experts and others to create a comprehensive plan Burk to address safety concerns. The task force

will focus on prevention and responses to mass shootings.

At the council meeting, Garrett said gun control measures are determined at the federal and state level. A new law allowing Indiana residents to conceal-carry handguns without a permit will go into effect in July. In light of the growing national discussion about gun control, Garrett said the council can use its budget to help fund public safety needs.

“Whatever happens, the pragmatic reality of we as a community of Zionsville is, folks are operating with the legal framework created at a state and a federal level, so what is it we can do?” Garret Garrett said at the June 6 meeting. “We can give speeches, we can do proclamations, but pragmatically, we as a council have a budget that is our tool. How do we talk to those leaders about prevention? How do you prevent a mass shooting?”

Council President Jason Plunkett said local options are available to protect the community.

Choi “This is not a partisan issue, but some-

“By ensuring public safety departments have the resources and staff needed to prevent and respond appropriately to public safety threats, we can be better prepared to protect against these events and become a safer community.”

– ALEX CHOI

thing we should all care about. Making this a priority ensures we are doing everything in our power to keep Zionsville safe,” Plunkett stated in a press release.

Garrett said he wanted to establish a council task force to coordinate conversations with mental health and public safety organizations in Zionsville and Boone County.

“Is there something we can help fund more of? I want to hear what do (schools) need. Do they need more officers, do they need less officers?” Garrett said. “I want to hear all these things to understand what it is maybe we should do. Let’s not wait until the next budget. If (Zionsville Police Dept.) Chief (Michael) Spears says, ‘I need two more officers,’ then let’s fund it. I want to hear from public safety first.”

Garrett said the council has been approached with funding requests for other projects, but he wants to fund public safety requests first.

“I want to find out what they need. I want to fund it.

Then, once I feel satisfied that they have everything they need, then I’m OK with funding other things,” he said.

The task force will immediately begin engaging stakeholders and assessing preparation levels and resources.

“We must find pragmatic solutions to prevent gun violence right here in our community using every means possible at the local level,” council member Alex Choi stated.

“By ensuring public safety departments have the resources and staff needed to prevent and respond appropriately to public safety threats, we can be better prepared to protect against these events and become a safer community.”

Polo at Sunset benefits Boys & Girls Club, zWORKS

By Chris Bavender news@currentzionsville.com For the fourth year, the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County and zWORKS will host Polo at Sunset June 17 at the Hickory EVENT Hall Polo Club, 7551 East 100 North, Whitestown. The event is a fundraiser for the two nonprofits that serve Boone County youth, families and business owners.

“For over 20 years, the Hickory Hall Polo Club has been servicing Indiana with a unique family centered social and sporting venue that helps raise money and awareness to the charities it serves,” said Amy Hartwig, the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County events and marketing manager.

All funds raised will be used to make a direct impact in Boone County through programs at both organizations. In 2021, the Polo at Sunset event raised $17,500.

“A few (programs) include summer camps, day camps, programming, Thanksgiving Day race,” Hartwig said. “And for zWORKS, our goal is to expand our economic development engine to continue to provide a startup/entrepreneurial community and co-working space for those in Boone County. The zWORKS community gives entrepreneurs a place to grow their business.”

Picnics and tailgating are encouraged at Polo at Sunset, Hartwig said. Gates open at 5 p.m., with the matches beginning at 6 p.m. For the best tailgate locations, Hartwig advises to arrive early. The Friday night admission is $40 cash per carload.

Reserved tailgate spots with seating for six and a table are available for $500. The tailgate spots include a charcuterie board and a bottle of wine.

Tailgate spots and general admission tickets can be purchased in advance on the Boys & Girls Club of Boone County’s website at bgcboone.org.

If the weather postpones the event, it will be rescheduled for a later date. All pre-purchased tickets will be honored.

Parks to feature butterfly art pieces

By Taylor Dixon news@currentzionsville.com

SEASON SUBSCRIPTIONS AVAILABLE JUNE 20th!

Call 317.843.3800 to reserve your tickets.

Zionsville parks are spreading their wings to visitors next month.

The butterfly trail includes eight ART butterfly wings stretching across Zionville’s 500 acres of parks that have been part of their recent conservation efforts. The 4-by-4-foot wings are made of durable plywood and have been painted by artists ages 15 to 54.

“The Zionville community, they like things that are a little bit unique to them.

They like to see that kind of mix of art and culture,” said Mindy Murdock, director of recreation services Murdock at Zionville Parks and Recreation. “And then, of course, (there is) our close tie with our parks, and that’s a big part of being in Zionsville.”

Another thing Murdock hopes will draw people in the wings is the opportunity to take pictures with them to create their own art. She also said she hopes people will download the butterfly trail guide at zionsville-in.gov/668/Zionsville-Butterfly-Trail that leads visitors through the wings and gives a brief summary of the inspiration behind each pair.

Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron thanked the parks department in a statement for its pledge to helping the environment.

“I am grateful to our Parks Department for creating the Butterfly Trail and reaffirming our commitment to restoring habitats for the monarch butterfly,” Styron stated. “I am also excited to walk around town and see people of all ages taking selfies by the butterfly wings.”

The trail will be available until July 31 at parks across Zionsville as well as the library, Town Hall plaza and SullivanMunce Cultural Center.

“The Zionville community, they like things that are a little bit unique to them. They like to see that kind of mix of art and culture.”

Gardens of Zionsville tour set

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Gardens of Zionsville will make a much-needed return this year.

The SullivanMunce FUNDRAISER Cultural Center fundraiser hasn’t been held since 2019 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“All our events and programming are especially important, now more than ever before,” SullivanMunce Cultural Center Executive Director Cynthia Young said. “(COVID-19) put a damper on in-person events and programming since 2020.”

The Gardens of Zionsville tour, which has been held for more than 20 years, is set for 10 a.m to 4 p.m. June 25. There are seven gardens on the tour. Visitors also can bid on potted planters donated by local nurseries and gardens.

“The gardens are throughout Zionsville,” Young said. “We have gardens in the Village, Sugarbush, Fox Hollow and Stonegate (neighborhoods) this year. There are also surprise vegetable gardens as a bonus this year.”

The event will start with a kick-off party from 6 to 8 p.m. June 24. Tickets are $45 or $250 for patron tickets, which includes two admissions to the party and gardens tour and recognition at the event.

“It is a nice way to start the event and to thank the homeowners/gardeners, volunteers and sponsors,” Young said.

“Flora & Fauna” is new this year as the juried art exhibit.

The cost of advance reservations for Gardens of Zionsville is $15 and are available until June 25. The cost the day of the event is $20. Admission for children 10 and under is $5.

Zionsville resident tracks down Sherlock Holmes books, memorabilia

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Steven Doyle had a life-changing experience in 1974.

“I fell under the spell of Sherlock Holmes at age 14 when there was a book published called ‘The Seven-Per-Cent Solution’ by Nicholas Meyer,” Doyle said. “It just kicked off this Sherlock Holmes craze. That transformed the hobby of Sherlock Holmes into a worldwide phenomenon.”

That led the 61-year-old Zionsville resident to collect more than 2,000 books and numerous pieces of Sherlock Holmes memorabilia from movies and TV shows.

Doyle, a video producer for Purdue University’s College of Agriculture, is a member of the Baker Street Irregulars, which meets once a year in New York City. Doyle, who said the group has about 250 living members, became a member in 1996 and then became the publisher of its quarterly publication, The Baker Street Journal, in 2010.

The Baker Street Irregulars include actors and authors and even NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Doyle also heads a group called The Illustrious Clients of Indianapolis, which meets every six weeks, with meetings often centered on a Holmes story. The annual Sherlock Holmes film festival will be held noon to 5 p.m. June 25 at the American Legion in Zionsville and will feature the film “A Study in Terror,” among others. To register for the free films or learn more, email sdoyle221@ aol.com.

“It’s a delightful group of a lot of great friends,” said Marc Lehmann, who has been an Illustrious Clients member for 13 years.

“Steve is the president, and he is so knowledgeable. I learn so much.”

Doyle, who has lived in Zionsville with his wife, Pam, since 1991, founded and edited a quarterly journal called The Sherlock Holmes Review in 1987, which lasted 10 years.

Doyle co-wrote “Sherlock Holmes for Dummies” with David Crowder in 2010.

Although he has much more valuable items, Doyle said his most precious books were a Christmas gift from his parents when he first became a fan. Doyle had requested the books “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” and “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” after seeing them at a mall in

liam Gillette, who played Sherlock Holmes on stage and in a silent film, and other actors from stage shows. In addition, Doyle has an autographed book of Basil Rathbone’s autobiography. Rathbone portrayed Holmes in 14 movies from 1939 to 1946.

Doyle’s memorabilia includes movie posters and clothes and deerstalker hats worn by actors in the films and TV shows.

“I’ve bought things that are not very expensive but to me are valuable, and vice versa,” Doyle said. “I’ve overpaid for things.”

Doyle’s other interests include classic horror and science fiction films. He also plays bass guitar in a classic rock band, The AgTones, that used to perform live but now only plays in Doyle’s basement.

South Bend.

“They are intrinsically worthless, but if there was a fire in my house, those are the two books I would grab first,” he said.

“That goes to the heart of my idea of book collecting.”

Doyle shared his passion for book collecting as the first speaker May 21 in Black Dog Books’ speaker series in Zionsville.

“It’s cool to have first editions, signed volumes, but my thing as a book collector is, what is the book to you?” he said. “These books are priceless to me because of that Christmas morning when I got them.”

The first Sherlock Holmes story, “A Study in Scarlet,” was written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887.

“One of the first places he sent, he got a response saying, ‘We can’t possibly take this. The market is flooded with cheap fiction,’” said Doyle, who called having the same last name as the legendary author a fortuitous coincidence.

Arthur Conan Doyle eventually sold the story for 25 pounds, and it was published in Beeton’s Christmas Annual. Today, a copy of that Beeton’s Christmas Annual would be worth approximately $200,000. Doyle does have a facsimile of that issue that the Baker Street Irregulars produced.

Arthur Conan Doyle eventually began writing short stories on Holmes and sending them to The Strand Magazine.

“The editor ran up to the owner and told him, ‘This is the greatest short story writer since (Edgar Allen) Poe,’ and I think he’s right,” Doyle said. “That’s when Sherlock Holmes became Sherlock Holmes in the public consciousness. People would line up at the book stalls when the magazine was going to be released.”

For years, Doyle would hunt for Sherlock Holmes treasures in used bookstores. Once while living in Bloomington, a book store owner knew he was a Holmes fan and asked if he would be interested in a complete run of The Strand Magazine.

“I was stunned,” Doyle said. “I said I would, and she said they are in that box. I remember slowly walking toward them like I’m walking toward my destiny. The issues were bound together. This is like finding the Holy Grail.”

However, the store owner said she would have to ask her husband about the price.

Doyle said the husband wasn’t as generous as his wife.

“He said $250, and I knew that was the bargain of a lifetime, but that was a lot of money for us at that time,” said Doyle, who put $20 to hold and went home to convince his wife it was worth emptying the bank account to buy it.

Doyle said another special find was a “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” book, published in 1892, and signed by actor Wil-

SPECIAL INTERVIEW Sherlock Holmes memorabila collector Steven Doyle talks about sharing an in-person interview with the late British actor Jeremy Brett, who played Sherlock Holmes in 41 episodes for the Granada Television series from 1984 to 1994.

“I had already done a telephone interview with Jeremy Brett in 1987,” Doyle said. “He was super generous with his time.”

In 1992, Brett was touring America to record promotions for PBS stations. So, Doyle called to get an interview with Brett for The Sherlock Holmes Review.

Doyle said he played every card to get the interview in Chicago. Doyle said Brett gave him and his publishing partner, Mark Gagen, much more than the allotted 10-minute time window and clearly enjoyed his more in-depth questions than the other interviewers.

“A woman came in to cut us off and he said, ‘Oh, go away, I’m meeting with my friends. We’re not done yet,’” Doyle said. “We got this 40-minute interview.”

HUMOR

Critic or creative?

‘Top Gun’ sequel misses mark Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Is it really important to know what the various Kardashian sisters had for lunch? Does our great uncle have much insight into the COVID-19 vaccine protocols that might be best for us? Even as we share copious amounts of personal information, the anonymity proffered by social media drives us to rest confident in our safety, assured that none will fully know our intention or thoughts.

There we can say, and do as we wish, or so we believe, because our tirade after a few glasses of wine will not likely bring much attention to our irresponsibility.

Instead, we tell ourselves that few who mattered bothered to read our posts.

In personal interaction, it is more difficult to distance ourselves from our biases. As such, many of us come to be adroit at concealing our perspectives. We withhold knowing there to be advantage in possessing knowledge that the others in our lives do not. We manipulate them hoping to gain insight about their views without expressing the vulnerability of our own. Playing the game masterfully, we might claim that we know an answer but want to see if others do. If they respond to the question correctly, we promise to tell them.

Unfortunately, we often have no idea and only hope to get our friend, associate or loved one to share their view first. We then react to them as if we had an opinion all along.

We shift the responsibility of considered thought to our counterpart. We place ourselves into the role of critic, not creative. Surely, we should show restraint in always leading with our own point of view. But is holding back intentionally to pump information out of others just as flawed? If withholding is an effective tactic to achieve advantage, is up-front transparency an indication of moral action?

Friends, I’ve recently returned from a trip down Memory Lane, specifically the magical summer of 1986. I was 14 then, had hair that resembled the lead singer from A Flock of Seagulls and was well on my way to an unremarkable freshman year in high school. I didn’t have a boyfriend but was confident my mile-high bangs and cobalt-blue eyeliner would have their desired effect momentarily. Basically, I was living my best life while waiting for real life to begin.

What prompted this nostalgic journey? My husband Doo and I went to see “Top Gun: Maverick” the other night, and as soon as that iconic synthetic tolling began, I was immediately transported to Louisville’s Showcase Cinemas, watching the original for the fifth time.

Yes, five. And I would end up owning the cassette tape, vowing to become a naval aviator, and obviously buying a pair of Ray-Ban aviators that I would wear religiously for the next three years (everyone else did, too, so stop judging me!).

Despite rave reviews, though, I was disappointed in this sequel. Sure, Tom Cruise still has that undeniable onscreen charisma, and, of course, the producers checked all the boxes that made the first one iconic, including a shirtless beach scene and breathtaking dogfights. But throughout the movie, I couldn’t help thinking, “This isn’t as good!” and “Where in the Kenny Loggins minute are your motorcycle helmets?”

Safety first, people!

I don’t know. Maybe the original wasn’t that spectacular, and it was just the time in my life that was amazing.

Regardless, fist pumping to the “Danger Zone” reprise was a fun moonwalk down ‘80s Memory Lane.

Peace out.

Older Hoosiers can save lives Commentary by Kellie Tremain

Anderson Office: (765) 639-0671 | Carmel Office: (317) 848-0201

Did you know the oldest Hoosier to give the gift of life was 103 years old? You are never too old to register to be an organ and tissue donor.

ORGAN DONATION May was Older Americans Month, a time to reflect and celebrate the contributions of Indiana’s older residents and increase awareness about aging and its related issues. Hoosiers 50 and older enrich the lives of their family, friends, loved ones and communities. Many have saved lives as organ, tissue and eye donors while many others in this age group have been given a second chance at a healthy life through organ or tissue transplant.

There is a myth out there: Many Indiana residents over 50 mistakenly think they are too old or not healthy enough to be an organ and tissue donor. That is often not the case. Here are the facts.

More than one-third of all deceased organ donors in the U.S. are over 50. In 2021, of the 13,863 donors in the country, 5,254 – or nearly 38 percent – were people 50 and older.

There are no restrictions for registering

to be an organ and tissue donor, and that includes one’s age and medical history.

The priority of a physician is to save your life. Your donation status does not affect your medical care. A separate team of medical professionals determines your donation status, not the team of physicians and medical staff responsible for your immediate medical care. This separate team determines if you are a viable organ donor and if you can be a donor.

You should not rule yourself out from becoming an organ and tissue donor simply because of your age. You are never too old to choose to help save and heal lives.

When you decide to sign up, you can do so immediately at donatelifeindiana.org or you can register to become a donor the next time you are at your local Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch.

Kellie Tremain has served as president and CEO of Indiana Donor Network since December 2012. She is the third CEO of Indiana Donor Network since it was formed in 1987. As CEO, Tremain champions the organization’s mission to save and enhance as many lives as possible through organ, tissue and eye donation.

Alternatives for eye glasses abound Commentary by Dr. Hannah Wilson There are many situations where you may seek an alternative to glasses. Perhaps you don’t like how they affect your appearance, or maybe you’re tired of them VISION sliding down while you exercise. You may think there is no other option, but that is a common misconception. Even if you have a complicated glasses prescription, you may be a candidate for contact lenses.

Thanks to continual innovation, contact lenses are now available in a wide variety of parameters, making them a viable choice for the majority of patients.

Presbyopia, a normal aging process where our eyes gradually lose the ability to see up close, typically arises around the age of 40. In the past, when you developed presbyopia, you either exclusively wore glasses or wore reading glasses over the top of your distance contact lenses. Today, multifocal contact lenses provide functional vision at distance, intermediate and near. Another contact lens option for correcting presbyopia is monovison, where a distance contact lens is worn in one eye and a near contact lens is worn in the other, enabling you to see at multiple distances.

Astigmatism, where the curvature of the eye causes light to focus improperly, resulting in distorted vision, also

previously prevented patients from successfully wearing contact lenses. Now, even significant levels of astigmatism can be corrected with toric contact lenses, and for patients who have both presbyopia and astigmatism, multifocal toric contact lenses exist.

Dr. Hannah Wilson is an optometrist at RevolutionEYES and Little Eyes Pediatric Eye Care in Carmel. She is happy to answer any questions regarding family vision needs and can be reached at DrWilson@RevolutionEYES.com.

You deserve compassionate care.

Personalized healthcare when you need it most When you walk through our doors, you deserve to be seen and heard. Your questions matter. That’s why Ascension St. Vincent and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital care teams are here to empower you by listening to you, respecting your experiences and creating a care plan that works for you and your family.

CHS graduate enjoying Broadway role alongside famous couple

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Eric Wiegand’s first Broadway show has certainly been memorable.

The 2014 CarPERFORMANCE mel High School graduate has been appearing with Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick in Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite” at New York’s Hudson Theatre.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever be lucky enough to work with this nice a group of people again, so I couldn’t be happier to be back,” Wiegand said.

Parker and Broderick, who are married in real life, play three different characters each in three different stories.

“I get to play a Plaza Hotel bellhop at the top of the first act, and a very late1960s-era groom at the end of the third act,” Wiegand said. “There’s certainly some butterflies going out on the stage, but the overwhelming feeling is how fun it is. Since none of the supporting cast is onstage for very long at a time, we have a great environment backstage, lots and lots of board games.”

Wiegand had his first audition for the show in December 2019 with the director, John Benjamin Hickey.

“The callback was a few days later, where I had a kind of surprise introduction to both Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick who read the scenes with me,” Wiegand said. “So, it had already been a pretty thrilling experience just auditioning, and then later that same week, I got a call that I had been cast. So, from the audition through the entire rest of my time with the show, it’s been absolutely surreal in the best way.”

In February 2020, Wiegand said the production went on the road to the Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston.

“We performed there for about a month, which turned out to be a huge blessing, because we were able to get the show on its feet before the pandemic shut everything down,” Wiegand said. “After the Bos-

ton run, we came back to New York and moved into the Hudson Theatre. We were in the middle of a rehearsal day, one night away from our first preview, when the governor announced that Broadway would be shutting down. Our producers kind of raced over to the theater to talk with us.

Rehearsal was canceled for the day, and we all went home thinking we’d be back in a couple weeks, maybe a month, at most. And, of course, that timeline just got pushed and pushed and pushed. Overall, though, I consider us to be extraordinarily lucky.

“Our producers were in constant communication over the next two years, sending us cookies and assuring us that, at the earliest possible chance, the show would be back.”

Finally, this February, the show was set again.

“They never tore the set down in the Hudson Theatre. It just sat there gathering dust throughout the pandemic, and anything we left in the dressing rooms was

still there,” Wiegand said.

The play opened in March and is set to run through July 10.

Wiegand, a 2018 Carnegie Mellon University graduate, appeared in a “Law and Order SVU” episode that debuted in March.

“I’ve been lucky enough to work on smaller theater projects in New York, often with folks I knew in college,” Wiegand said. “It’s such a fun situation to be living in a city with so many other theater artists I moved here with. That’s certainly been a huge highlight of my past few years here.

“Working on this show has been a very fun peek into the Broadway world though.

It feels incredible just to be along for the ride.”

Wiegand earned a role in the TV series “Outsiders” the summer after his freshman year at Carnegie Mellon.

“They were shooting in Pittsburgh, so a local casting director reached out to Carnegie Mellon looking for folks in the acting program to audition,” he said. “I got hired along with one of my closest friends and classmates (Carson McCalley), who I got to fake punch on camera.”

Wiegand said his favorite theater experience at CHS was playing Enjolras in “Les Miserables” in 2012.

“My brother Ryan played Jean Valjean, and just about all my friends were also in the production, which is an experience you probably only get once, even if you’re lucky, so I really cherish that memory,” he said.

Wiegand was in the Ambassadors, the mixed show choir, at one point with his brother, Ryan, a 2012 CHS graduate.

“From middle school shows with June McCarty Clair and Sylvia Hyde, to getting directed in high school by Jim Peterson, Maggie Cassidy, and Lamonte Kuskye, I feel unbelievably fortunate to have had such incredible mentors,” Wiegand said.

“I know I’m not alone, either. There are so many Carmel alumni in New York and elsewhere who feel wildly blessed to have grown up with these teachers.”

Carmel siblings Sadie and Evan Cohen appear in “The Little Mermaid.” (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

Siblings share stage in Jr. Civic’s ‘Little Mermaid’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel siblings Sadie and Evan Cohen have only performed together one other time.

MUSICAL The siblings acted together in “Fun Home,” a coming-ofage musical with more of an adult theme, at Footlite Musicals, which ended in March 2020.

This time will be much different as they appear in Jr. Civic Theatre’s production of “The Little Mermaid” June 24-29 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“It’s cool to show him around and see how everyone interacts with him,” Sadie said. “It’s also a fun experience because Civic is always a fun experience. It’s also fun to do it with my brother because we haven’t gotten to do many shows together.

It’s fun to hang out with him.”

Sadie, 13, plays Ursula, and Evan, 10, plays Flounder.

“I haven’t exactly played a villain, but it’s real cool to know the villain side of things,” Sadie said. “It’s been really fun. This is one of my favorite roles. There are a lot of cool effects that I get to do. I get to fly on the stage, and I haven’t done that before. That will probably take the role up a couple of notches.”

Evan said Flounder might already be his

favorite character.

“I get to ride a skateboard,” Evan said.

“It’s cool to interact with my sister and her friends because I hadn’t done any shows at Civic before. I’m meeting a lot of new people.”

Sadie and Evan are fans of the Disney animated show. Sadie has seen productions of it three times. She saw her friend Izzy Ellis, who attends Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate Junior High, play Ariel at her school.

Ellis is playing Ariel in Jr. Civic’s production.

Sadie will be a Creekside Middle School eighth-grader in August and Evan will be a fifth-grader at Clay Center Elementary School.

Sadie played Veruca Salt in “Willy Wonka Jr.” at Creekside in November 2021.

“I don’t consider Veruca a villain. She is just more of a brat,” Sadie said.

Sadie also performed in “It’s a Wonderful Life” at Actors Theatre of Indiana in 2018 and was in “A Christmas Carol” at Indiana Repertory Theatre in 2019. She also appeared in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s “Annie” in 2018.

Evan played young Charlie in “Kinky Boots” at Beef & Boards earlier this year.

Evan most recently appeared in Carmel High School’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” in May. “My parents both did musical theater in high school, so I guess it got passed down to us,” Sadie said.

Noblesville actress in dream role

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Kate Boice, it doesn’t get any better than this.

“It has been a dream MUSICAL to play Jane Banks in this show,” said Boice, who recently completed eighth grade at Noblesville West Middle School. “I absolutely love playing Jane Banks. She is curious, protective, smart and engaging.”

Boice is appearing in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of “Mary Poppins,” which runs through July 10. The performances began May 19.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience I’ll cherish forever,” Boice said.

Boice said her favorite songs are “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and “Perfect Nanny” because she gets to sing and dance.

“They are fun and entertaining songs,” Boice said.

Boice has performed in 17 productions, but this one is special.

“I’ve grown up with the music and the

show, so it holds a special place in my heart,” she said. “I always wanted to be in this show because I grew up watching the movie and loving it.”

Boice said her main challenge is maintaining a dialect throughout the show. She said each show challenges her to grow her skills.

“I really enjoy the whole experience, from rehearsals to bringing the characters to life and connecting with other characters and seeing the audience’s experience of it,” Boice said.

Boice’s first appearance on the Beef & Boards stage was in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” in 2017. She said it was special because she shared the stage with her older sister, Ali. Besides theater, Boice has participated in show choir, been a member of her school’s speech team and is a certified scuba instructor. She also is a volunteer youth interpreter at Conner Prairie.

Blueprint for Improvement: Spa-like retreat in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1999 in the Sandstone neighborhood of Fishers, this home’s owners were ready for an upgrade to transform their builder-basic bathroom into a luxurious retreat.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The floor plan was optimized to connect the tub and shower, creating a single wet room that maximizes space and provides a true spa-like experience.

• Lowering the vanity put cosmetic drawers within easy reach and custom cabinetry is designed to better utilize the space.

• Vanity wall wallpaper adds a subtle contrast to the room’s soothing natural color palette.

• A sleek and narrow single-pane window replaces a wide double window over the tub, providing privacy without sacrificing natural light.

Okay is sometimes OK Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Trajan’s column in Rome. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A history of Rome’s twin towers Commentary by Don Knebel Today, in the continuing series about Rome, we look at two very similar columns, honoring both Roman and TRAVEL Christian heroes.

In A.D. 106, Roman Emperor Trajan defeated the Dacians, capturing territory north of the Danube River in what are now parts of Romania and Serbia.

The Roman Senate ordered construction of a victory column just north of the Roman Forum. When completed in 113, the column, constructed from 20 hollow marble drums, each weighing 65,000 pounds, was 115 feet tall. A unique spiral staircase inside led to a viewing deck below a bronze statue of Trajan. A 620-foot-long frieze winding 23 times around the exterior related the story of Trajan’s victory, which could be studied from libraries flanking the column.

Early in the later reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Germanic tribes invaded areas controlled by Rome, including areas conquered

by Trajan. Between 166 and his death of unknown causes in 180, Marcus Aurelius and his troops repelled the invaders. In recognition of his victories, the Roman Senate ordered a 130-foot-tall column, largely mimicking Trajan’s column, to be built in what is now Piazza Colona. The most important differences from Trajan’s column were the use of larger and more visible forms on the encircling frieze describing the military exploits, enabling its interpretation from ground level, and a bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius at the top.

At some point during the Middle Ages, the statue of Trajan disappeared from his

Column of Marcus Aurelius.

column. In 1587, Pope Sixtus V ordered Trajan’s column be topped by a bronze statue of St. Peter, one of Rome’s two patron saints. The following year, he ordered that the column of Marcus Aurelius be topped by a corresponding statue of St. Paul, Rome’s other patron saint. Amazingly, Rome’s ancient twin columns still stand tall and erect, although their internal staircases are no longer useable.

Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com. You may contact him at editorial@youarecurrent.com.

I’m from Oklahoma, the state which had the best state song until Ray Charles’ “Georgia” became the Peach State’s official song in 1979. As GRAMMAR GUY a native Okie, I’m proud to say that I’ve written “OK” more times than I can count — even if that was mostly in addressing mail to fellow Oklahomans.

When it comes to the word “OK,” how do you write it? Is it OK to write “okay”?

Let’s dive in.

First, and not that you were wondering, OKeh Records (yes, that is the correct way to spell it) is a record label that came into being back in 1918. The spelling comes from founder Otto Karl Erich Heinemann’s initials. Among other great artists, OKeh recorded albums by Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. As of today, the label is a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.

Now, it’s back to OK, OK? We get the word OK from an intentional spelling of “all correct,” spelled “oll korrect.” In the 1830s, “oll korrect” (or “orl korrect”) was a slang term and intentional misspelling of

“all correct.” This soon got abbreviated to “O.K.” When Martin Van Buren ran for reelection in 1840, his nickname “Old Kinderhook” got abbreviated to “OK.” Van Buren’s campaign didn’t coin “OK”; it merely capitalized on its popularity in the widespread jargon of its time.

The “OK” craze caught on during Van Buren’s failed reelection campaign, and offshoot spellings took root. This is where we get the spelling “okay.” So, the million-dollar question is: which spelling is “oll korrect” in 2022?

Maybe you write “okay.” Perhaps you prefer “OK.” In fact, both are OK. While the AP Style Guide (which newspapers use) prescribes “OK,” the Chicago Manual of Style states that both OK and okay are OK. For the purposes of this newspaper column, I have defaulted to OK so my editor stays off my case.
