Mayoral candidates talk on traffic, Sycamore Flats and more

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Village residents heard from Zionsville mayoral candidates Emily Styron, a Democrat, and Republican incumbent Tim ELECTION Haak during an Aug. 21 town hall forum conducted by the Village Resident Association.

Styron and Haak answered questions from moderator and Village resident Scott Lusk, who asked about traffic, the Sycamore Flats proposal, the importance of the town’s comprehensive plan and other topics.

“Traffic is an easy conversation to have. Just south of here (SullivanMunce), Zionsville Road is being reconstructed and is going from its original narrow two lanes to three lanes with proper width and a bike pathway on the west side,” Haak said. “Next year, we are starting a north-south connector that goes from Cooper Road up to (I-865) and connects Oak Street with the high school sports campus and is book-ended by two roundabouts. After that, we are replacing the stoplight at Oak and Kissel with another roundabout.”

Haak said the town is working with Boone County on a corridor study that will connect 146th Street from the Boone-Hamilton County line to Whitestown town limits.

Styron said although she doesn’t have the advantage of listing all the town’s projects because she’s not in office, she still has ideas.

“I don’t have the same benefit of being the mayor today and running through what our future plans look like, but I can tell you as a resident who’s been paying attention to traffic congestion for years and wondering when we will make a move for implementing the plans in the 2012 economic development plan, I just wonder why it’s taking quite so long to move some of these projects forward,” she said.

Both candidates also addressed the Syca-

more Flats proposal, a mixed-use development for the Village that has raised concerns from residents and business owners.

“Sycamore Flats was the wrong-sized facility in the wrong place,” Styron said. “It’s not a bad project.”

Styron said the project, which the town council rejected, could have benefits for Zionsville if placed in a better location.

Haak also voiced concerns about the proposal.

“My stance on Sycamore Flat is that (planned unit development) is the right classification. I would have been supportive of that, but the TIF agreement that was proposed, I would have voted no,” he said. “It was not beneficial to Zionsville. It too heavily favored the developer, and I would not have approved the development plan that was going to be proposed where the majority of remonstrance was and the developer being inflexible with dealing with members of the public on the plan. I would not have been able to support that.”

Another question addressed the town’s comprehensive plan and giving the town’s boards and commissions the ability to approve projects outside of the plan.

“The comprehensive plan is a plan, but it’s fluid and it’s meant to be changed. It matures as Zionsville matures,” Haak said. “Everything (that) goes into it is meant to be changed and morphed, and how we deal with various bodies (boards and commissions) and proposed developments is key.”

Styron had a different opinion.

“I think if you have to make changes to the comprehensive plan because things change, then you change the comprehensive plan. You go through the process, open and transparent,” she said. “If we don’t follow those plans, if we consistently deviate from it or provide some sort of exception, it loses its power. It becomes effectively null and void because you have had more exceptions than you’ve followed that rule.”

“There were scientists that thought that the lunar module With the 50th anniversary commemoration of the Apollo after landing would just sink into the dust of the surface of 11 moon landing July 20, Greg McCauley has been in hot dethe moon,” he said. “They thought there were crevicmand this summer.

He was making 22 Apollo 15 and 16 and was a member of the Lunar Launch Team for Apollo 17 McCauley noted why it took 20 minutes for Buzz Aldrin to become the second man to step on the moon after Neil Armstrong became the first man.

“Buzz was in the cockpit of the lunar module ready to come down for the mission,” McCauley said. “The first thing Armstrong was to do was pick up lunar regolith, which is dirt and rocks, and stuff them in thigh pockets of his space suit, so if anything would happen, they could get out of

“Mike had trained for months to fly the command module from the moon to the Earth, re-enter and splash down alone. All the systems were made to be used by one man. If the other two guys were there, that was a real plus. This is dangerous stuff. Who signs up for stuff like that?”

Before they left, all three astronauts signed 300 postcards emblazoned with their pictures.

“They gave 100 of those postcards to each of the wives of the three astronauts,” McCauley said. “The day they landed on the moon, a friend of the family would have those postmarked at the office in Houston and bring back and give them to the wives. The reason is, if they didn’t make it back from the moon, those postcards would have some material value. The wives could auction those off for money to help support the family. The insurance offered to NASA employees did not cover astronauts in flight. It was called risky and experimental, and the life insurance policy was canceled during the flight. That’s a true story. They changed it after the end of the Apollo program.”

“The reason is, if they didn’t make it back from the moon, those postcards would have some material value. The wives could auction those off for money to help support the family.”

Here’s a fluffly topic Commentary by Ward Degler When I first heard the term, disposable fluff, I thought it was a euphemism for “political rhetoric.” Turns out, PLAIN TALK it’s a paper product.

In everyday parlance, it’s the stuff used to make Kleenex, toilet tissue, paper towels, personal hygiene products and disposable diapers. The fluff is made from wood chips that have been reduced to cellulose fiber.

To be clear, virtually all commercially made paper is made from soft wood. Years ago, the Weyerhaeuser Paper Co. developed a genetically designed pine tree that grows exceptionally fast and is worthless for any purpose other than making paper. The fiber in these trees is so soft it must be processed into paper pulp within 24 hours of being cut or it turns into useless mush.

As it turns out, we aren’t destroying our forests to make paper, after all. Paper-pulp trees are a crop, not unlike soybeans or corn.

One more point: There are two types of fluff pulp – kraft pulp and dissolvable pulp.

While both processes start by breaking down the cellulose in wood chips, kraft pulp is reduced to microscopic fibers that are treated with an aeration process called defiberation that separates the fibers to produce a bulky, fluffy material.

Dissolvable pulp is reduced to a syrup which can be hardened into tough plastics

used in making computer chips and disposable picnic knives and forks, or spun into the textile yarn rayon.

Rayon was the first-ever synthetic fiber.

It was invented in 1903 but gained fame as a substitute for silk to make women’s stockings during World War II and to subsidize cotton production, which was unable to keep up with escalating demand. And until nylon came along, it was the foundation for making automobile tires.

The kraft pulping process uses chemicals that, unfortunately, gave the paper industry a black eye from water and air pollution years ago. Few smells can rival those from a paper mill in full flower. As a result, much of today’s fluff production has shifted to mills in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

An estimated 4 million tons of disposable fluff is produced annually, and 80 percent of that is used for disposable diapers, a product first brought to the market in 1956 by Proctor & Gamble as a sanitary way to deal with an unpleasant but unavoidable human process.

So, maybe, it’s not so far removed from political rhetoric, after all.

A LOOK BACK Lions’ elders reflect on 66 years of Fall Festival

Ralph Stacy reflects on the Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival. Stacy has a photo album with several photos and newspaper clippings from the Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival through the past 66 years.

(Photo by Anna Skinner)

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Ralph Stacy remembers attending the Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival for the first time when he was 9 years old in 1954.

Stacy, a long-time club member, said the COVER STORY Lions’ Fall Festival was created in 1952 to celebrate the Town of Zionsville’s centennial. The festival was organized by several different groups in town.

“It was a 100-year celebration in August, a three-day event, and it had a huge parade,” Stacy said. “The governor was here and a lot of other notables. I was a postman on the Zionsville U.S. Post Office float. I was just like 9. It was a big parade. The Lions Club was very instrumental in getting that centennial celebration together as well as a lot of other individuals and organizations. It was not until 1954, two years later, that the Fall Festival started.

“It still had a lot of organizations involved in it, but it was down in (Lions Park), and there was a parade.”

Sixty-six years later, Stacy volunteers during the annual Fall Festival. The first festival in 1954 netted a $700 profit, which went into the improvement fund for Memorial Park, which is now Lions Park.

“That kind of hasn’t changed,” Stacy said. “Our revenue from the

Fall Festival goes to improvement of the park. That’s the beginning of what we know as our Fall Festival today. One of the big things were the children’s games, the things such as they put sawdust down and you could dive for half dollars, or they had running contests with three-legged sack races. There was a lot of good food and fun.”

Club member George Tikijian has a different story. He moved to Zionsville in the 1980s and joined the Zionsville Kiwanis Club in the early 1990s. The Zionsville Lions Club approached the Kiwanis Club for help with the annual Fall Festival parade.

“It was such a big event and it took so many Lions to put it on, they asked if the Kiwanis would take over the parade for them,” Tikijian said. “The Kiwanis started organizing the Fall Festival Parade. I was involved every year and in ’97, I became the Kiwanis chairman for the Fall Festival Parade, which I continued to do for a number of years.”

In 2013, the Zionsville Lions Club resumed control of the parade and the Kiwanis Club slowly lost members and disbanded.

“At that point, I put together information so the Lions could take over the parade and then figured, what the hell, I might as well join the Lions,” Tikijian said.

For more on the festival, visit zionsvillelions.com.

WHAT THE FALL FESTIVAL MEANS TO ZIONSVILLE Zionsville Lions Club member Ralph Stacy said as new members join, it is important to get them involved in the planning and operation of the Fall Festival.

“I’ve seen that over the decades. We get new members and it’s very important we get them involved and it gives the current membership a little break, too,” he said. “That’s important in any service organization.”

Club member George Tikijian said the festival embodies the spirit of Zionsville.

“I mean, it’s true, small-town America,” he said. “The festival itself is classic to me.

That’s what the Fall Festival is, the classic definition of a middle-America, small-town festival.”

In 1989, the festival’s theme was “Smalltown America.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Nuanced ‘truth’

Anker column ‘thought-provoking’ Editor, Throughout our family’s nearly five years in Noblesville, I had read Current rather infrequently until the past year or so. Just busy with other priorities. However, I wanted to tip my hat to (essayist Terry Anker) for writing the “Giving thanks” column April 16. It was thought-provoking and poignant for our times. I also appreciate that he offers some type of faith in his articles, and it is welcoming to see in print media.

Craig Marolf, Noblesville

Commentary by Terry Anker Checkout lines at the grocery store are the same the world over.

Rows of candy, eye-height for a 9-year-old, mark the corridor to the cash register. They share the space with numerous tabloids whose headlines grab the attention of even the most harried and distracted passerby.

As children, we come to know that just the right bit of nudging could get mom to buy us the Snickers while she is emptying our overflowing cart onto the conveyor belt. As we first master letters and then reading, the colorful headlines capture our imagination.

We promise to forego the candy if mom will throw one of the magazines into the cart with the Hamburger Helper and mac and cheese.

Soon in the car, we open the pages, eager to learn about the secret government plot to put growth hormones into our milk and make us giants equipped to fight the Russian menace. Alas, like many disappointments of our youth, we quickly learn that the headlines often don’t match the content. The “stunning” discoveries are not discoveries at all. Instead, they are carefully worded deceptions intended to tell a lie without really telling one.

Has it changed much through the decades? Media still uses the ploy to get us to look. Seemingly every restaurant and public space is festooned with countless video monitors tirelessly looped with CNN or other outlets. The screen crawls with horrific headlines, unabashedly misleading and provocative.

What a front page calls fact, the full article ultimately surrenders to be more nuanced.

Thank you, Current

My cup runneth empty — cheers!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m luxuriating in a silent, clean, mostly empty house right now and am thrilled to report that barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is pretty much HUMOR what my domestic life will look like for the next four months.

Blessed be the fruit!

In this case, the delicious fruit is college.

That’s right, friends, three of our four heirs have left the building, hopefully not returning until the holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I love them. But teenagers and 20-year-olds are messy, loud, expensive, meat-eating machines who are only nice to their moms when they want food or money. They bake cookies at midnight, totally unconcerned with the noise they are making while a certain mother attempts to sleep above them.

They invite their posses over for all-you-caneat buffets featuring the Wilson pantry and refrigerator/freezer. And they hoard clothes and tchotchkes like nobody’s business.

Our youngest is still around, but she is so busy with school and dance and socializing that we rarely see her. Praise be, my husband, Doo, and I are basically empty nesters.

I come home after work to a sink that holds no dishes. I go to bed enjoying an Xbox-free silence. I shop at Meijer maybe once a week.

Talk about your miracles! I can even bingewatch “The Handmaid’s Tale” in the actual living room, on the TV. People told me I’d feel sad and lonely without the general bustle of kids underfoot, that I’d miss the energy that comes from a big family coexisting under one roof.

They were liars. I love it, almost as much as I love my children. In college. Under someone else’s eye.

Peace out.

Olivia Broadwater treasures Miss Fall Festival reign

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Olivia Broadwater’s reign as Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen is coming to an end.

PROFILE Giving up the title won’t be easy.

“If it was possible, I would redo this year in a heartbeat because of everything I have gained out of my year of service, such as confidence, perseverance, scholarship money, performing opportunities, connections and friends,” Broadwater said. “I am constantly talking about the benefits of the Miss America program and how it truly has helped mold me into the young woman I aspire to be.”

Broadwater will take part in the parade at 10 a.m. Sept. 7 and then help crown the new Miss Fall Festival Outstanding Teen Sept.

14. The pageant, for Boone County residents ages 13 to 17, begins at 3 p.m. at Zionsville United Methodist Church. Broadwater also will sing the national anthem during the opening ceremony.

Broadwater, a Zionsville Community High School senior, was the Miss Indiana Outstanding Teen first runner-up in June at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center.

“Especially being from Zionsville, having the opportunity to serve as Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen has been such a heartwarming, humbling experience,” she said. “The amount of support the community has given me throughout this year has been mind-boggling. I can’t tell you how many times people have stopped me and asked if I was ‘the girl wearing a crown in the newspaper.’ It puts the biggest smile on my face when people say things like this, and gives me the perfect opportunity to share more about my platform and this program with them.”

Broadwater said the best part of the year of service was the impact she made with her platform, “Singing for Smiles.”

“I used my passion for music and for finding a cure for Alzheimer’s to make a difference in the lives of those with the disease, and tried to put smiles on as many faces as possible,” she said. “This title has aided me in obtaining so many opportunities such as singing at nursing homes, singing the national anthem at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s walk in downtown Indy and getting to compete at Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen

pageant.”

Broadwater said she absolutely recommends it to other teens.

Broadwater said so many girls think they are not the pageant type and that holds them back from participating. She was reluctant at first, too.

“Your year of service is so individualized because it is your platform, your talent, your responses, simply it is you,” she said.

“I would recommend this organization to anyone who is looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the world, a way to make scholarship money, to make new friends, to perform a talent and simply to have a chance to be you. If you just be yourself, you will always come out a winner, crown or not.”

The Lions Club Fall Festival’s auction is again expected to provide a large windfall to the organization.

FUNDRAISER Auction co-organizer Jennifer Blandford said past auctions have brought in more than $20,000 for the club. She expects a similar total this year.

“We are going to have it open in the shelterhouse during Saturday in the park, from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m.,” Blandford said.

This year, the bidding also will be conducted online at qtego.net/qlink/zlc. People can text “Lions” to 79230 to have a text link sent. Bidding will be open in-person and online until 6 p.m. Sept. 7.

A variety of items is up for bid.

“We have a trip from Wyndham (and) all kinds of gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses,” Blandford said. “We will have autographed memorabilia and all kinds of wine. Wine is a huge seller. We also will have our famous safari trip to South Africa.”

Blandford said auction proceeds will be reinvested in the park.

“We do upgrades to different things all the time,” she said. “From the playground to the electrical system to the bathrooms, this money has done everything. The very

first year that we did it was for playground equipment. It all goes right back to the park.”

Blandford said the auction is the biggest component of the festival, which is the club’s largest annual fundraiser.

The club will accept donations for the auction until Sept. 6.

“We never have too much of anything. I’d love some jewelry,” Blandford said. “I love handcrafts. Handmade quilts and birdhouses, that kind of stuff is really popular.”

Donations can be dropped at Blandford’s office, Carpenter Realtors at 5 N. Main St. in Zionsville.

Kids’ corner to entertain with family focus

The kids’ corner is a hands-on area with bounce houses other activities. It will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 7 and 8.

Amazing Amusements and Entertainment, Inc., a full-service entertainment company, will provide hands-on play-with-sand art and face painting, among other activities.

to buy food items for their children.

Balta said a taekwondo studio also will have a presence in the kids’ corner for the first time.

Business officials, such as those from Thomas Jefferson Roofing & Remodeling, will be in the kids’ corner to provide families with activities like a duck pond for children while they explain their services.

“When we do this, it gives parents an opportunity to see sort of easy, fun activities that they can do at home,” Balta said.

Pet Pavilion, safety day designed to entertain children at festival

By Jarred Meeks news@currentzionsville.com At the Sept. 6-8 Lions Club Fall Festival, children and families can visit a pet pavilion and safety zone. The annual festival is the largest fundraiser for THINGS TO DO the Zionsville Lions Club and Lions Park.

Mike Heffner, festival coordinator of the pet pavilion and the safety zone, said the pet pavilion will play host to the Humane Society for Boone County’s no-kill animal shelter. The Humane Society will have several pets available for adoption.

Lions and Leader Dogs for the Blind, an organization that trains dogs to help people with disabilities, will have staff on-site and put the dogs through an obstacle course to showcase their skills.

The pet pavilion also will have animal grooming services, veterinary services and pet treats provided by Community Pet Healthcare and the Zionsville Country Veterinary Clinic.

An expo tent dedicated to local police and fire departments, such as the Zionsville Police Dept., Zionsville Fire Dept., Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana State Police and the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources, will be open during the weekend.

On Sept. 8, Silly Safaris, an exhibit displaying small exotic animals, will present shows at 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m.

On Sept. 7, the expo tent will be filled with police and fire vehicles and have

Demonstrations in the expo tent will begin at 1 p.m. with K-9 demonstrations. There also will be demonstrations on how to stay safe during a house fire.

“All of the heads of the departments are there,” Heffner said. “They cannot only engage with the kids, they talk to the parents about things they are working on, things they are seeing, things parents should be aware of.”

Heffner said even though Zionsville residents live in one of the safest communities in the nation, the festival gives law enforcement the opportunity to speak with parents about trends they are seeing to keep families informed about the state of their community. Heffner also said the event gives children a chance to form positive bonds with law enforcement.

Laces knot for me Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’ve been doing it wrong for about 65 years, making the same mistake more than 24,000 times. You’ve probably HUMOR been doing it wrong, too. A TED Talk by Terry Moore demonstrates the correct way to tie your shoes.

He proves that the worldwide epidemic of laces becoming untied can be solved by a simple adjustment to how we loop our knots. It took me a few tries to do it correctly, but he’s right on the money. By the way, a frozen mummy from 3300 B.C. was found wearing the first recorded shoelaces.

They were untied. He tripped and fell off a glacier.

People are always saying, “Dick, do you know your shoe is untied?” I usually do. But after I turned 70, I decided I wasn’t reaching all the way down there unless both shoes required my attention.

I came across this TED Talk after Googling “shoelaces,” hoping to find some replacements for a pair of casual shoes I owned.

Instead of the traditional kind, these shoes came with Lock Laces, which are loops of elastic woven through the eyelets that never need to be tied. Just pull the shoe on

What’s the Difference?

and it tightens automatically.

These new thingamajigs drove me crazy. I cut them off the shoes, planning to replace them with traditional laces. Since most stores don’t carry a good selection, I logged onto Amazon Prime and found a dizzying assortment of colors and styles.

Amazon allows previous buyers to write reviews about their purchases. I could see taking the time to give your opinion if you bought a TV, but shoelaces? There were hundreds of comments by people who must have nothing better to do than sit around looking at their feet. These are actual postings: “The shoelaces are thicker than I thought they’d be. What a waste of $2.”

“The laces were 36 inches, not 34. What should I do?”

While shopping online, I bought some new dress shoes. To avoid the lacing hassle, I opted for slip-ons. Am I lazy? Yes, I’m a loafer.

Zionsville’s Top Selling Team Of All Time!

Some of the Prettiest Backyards We’ve Sold This Year!

DISPATCHES Tiny stocks that deliver big — If you’re willing to take considerable risk in the stock market, you can find big winners among tiny publicly ­traded companies, so-called microcaps. That is the one area where small investors have an advantage over large institutional investors and mutual funds, which typically consider the stocks too small to research, monitor or invest in. Microcaps have market capitalizations ranging from $50 million to $300 million. You should focus on those that have fast revenue growth (20 percent annually or more), are currently profitable or will be in the near futur, and, most important, offer a unique product or service in fast-changing industries such as medical equipment or software. Attractive microcap stocks now are: • Airgain (AIRG) makes embedded antennas for more than 45 million household products, including digital smart TVs, Wi-Fi routers and ­automobiles.

• Sensus Healthcare (SRTS) is a medicaldevice manufacturer specializing in radiotherapy systems to remove basal cell skin cancer, which occurs in more than four million people annually in the US. It also makes laser equipment for skin rejuvenation and hair and tattoo removal.

• USA Technologies (USAT) provides software for the new generation of millions

of self-serve cashless vending machines that use wireless technology in unattended locations such as car washes, laundromats and arcades. The software not only enables electronic payments but also transmits ongoing data feedback on machine malfunctions, usage patterns and more to the vending machine companies.

ATI newcomers eager for roles in ATI musical

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tony Carter fell in love with “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” instantly.

“I was actually in high COMEDY school and saw the show on Broadway,” Carter said.

“Brian d’Arcy James was playing the role of Freddy Benson. I love the music and I grew up with the movie with Steve Martin.

It’s a fantastically challenging role. I was playing a con artist who plays a lot of different characters.

“It’s an incredibly funny role and I’m excited to bring my own personal flavor to it.”

Carter, a Chicago resident who is originally from Las Vegas, plays grifter Benson in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” Sept. 6 to 29 at the Studio Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel Carter said he attended ATI auditions in Chicago and came down for call-backs to audition for all the shows in the 2019-20 season, which kicks off with “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”

“This was my favorite and I was really gunning for it,” he said. “The songs are funny. There is a lot of quick-witted dialogue.”

Carter is acting in the Indianapolis area for the first time. Like Carter, Deborah Hill is making her ATI debut. Hill, who grew up in Lafayette and attended Anderson University, lives in Dayton, Ohio. She will play Christine Colgate.

“I was looking for theaters in the area where I could work,” she said. “I researched the show and role. It’s a great role for any actress.”

Hill said she enjoys comedic roles but doesn’t get to do them a lot.

“I usually do the serious, more ingenue roles,” Hill said. “She seems like a onedimensional character, but it takes a plot twist and I really get to delve into her. The songs are amazing. It’s a great vocal challenge for me.”

TJ Lancaster, from Kansas City, has not seen or heard the musical version of the show, which was a 1988 movie with Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

Bourbon trail launches editorial@youarecurrent.com September is National Bourbon Heritage Month. So Greg Kissinger, a Fishers resident who works for Republic National Distributing Co., figured a Carmel Bourbon Trail would be a good fit.

“It’s a cool, conceptional thing,” Kissinger said.

There are 22 restaurants and bars, ranging from Anthony’s Chophouse to Old Town Tavern, taking part in the trail.

Visitors can ask if there is a Bourbon Trail special at participating spots. Brands featured are Jim Beam Black, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden’s, Maker’s Mark, Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare.

Other participants include 3 UP (above Anthony’s Chophouse), Charleston’s, The Pint Room, Convivo, Prime 47, Bar Louie, Divvy, Prodigy Burger & Bar, Brockway Public House, Donatello’s, Renaissance Hotel, The Broken Barrel, Fork & Ale House, Sahm’s Ale House, Bru Burger Bar, Matt The Miller’s Tavern, Texas Roadhouse, Burgerhaus, Nippers Grill & Tap and Woody’s Library Restaurant.

“It was a great surprise to get a chance to work on it,” said Lancaster, who is performing as suave con man Lawrence Jamieson. “I loved the movie back in the day. I love the ‘Odd Couple’ quality of highclass con man and a street con man. It’s laugh after laugh. It’s high-class comedy and goofy, vulgar comedy together. That’s what makes it so great.”

Lancaster was previously in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” at ATI in 2018.

Michael Blatt, who attended North Central High School with ATI co-founder Judy Fitzgerald, is returning to direct with ATI. Blatt, based in New York, directed “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” in 2018.

“I loved it. The show was great. It was so good to be back in Indianapolis,” Blatt said of the 2018 show. “My roots are here. I did Jr. Civic and Footlite Musicals. It was a full-circle moment to come back and work professionally here.”

Blatt has never been with a production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” but has plenty

of exposure to it.

“I was lucky enough when I was in New York, my best friend and roommate was the assistant choreographer of the Broadway show, so I got to see it a lot,” Blatt said. “I got to know all the cast members.

I got to know about the process. I’m also a personal trainer and I got to train the book writer for the show because he was one of my clients. It was interesting to be on the edges of the production.”

The cast was originally designed for 30.

“We’re doing a streamlined version of the show, but still (presenting) the whole show with a cast of 10,” Blatt said. “There are five ensemble members who rotate to play different roles. This is one of the first times they’ve done a streamline before, so we’re going to make our own version of ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.’”

Carol Worcel is the choreographer.

Fitzgerald and fellow ATI co-founder Don Farrell are part of the cast.

“We quickly discovered college kids were not interested in pirate music, but my library degree with a specialization in children’s services reminded me that little kids loved pirate picture books,” MacDowell said.

“So, we booked ourselves in the Border’s bookstore’s children’s department to share these songs and included some out-loud reading from their children’s collection.”

Kids can enjoy high energy, family friendly rock ‘n’ roll when Kid Kazooey & the BallRoom Roustabouts hit the MUSIC stage Sept. 14 at the Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Peanut Butter & Jam series. It’s the second time the Bloomington-based group will perform at the center.

“The BallRoom Roustabouts play rock ‘n’ roll/pop music not unlike They Might Be Giants or NRBQ or the Violent Femmes, but at low volumes and with thematic material that matches our mission statement and is always all-ages appropriate,” said Kevin MacDowell, aka Kid Kazooey. “We play mostly original music, with a few choice cover tunes thrown in. Like the golden years of Sesame Street, we play first for children’s enjoyment and then aim strategically just over their heads to let their parents know we haven’t forgotten about them.”

The BallRoom Roustabouts formed when MacDowell, who had recently graduated from Indiana University and was waiting tables at restaurants in Bloomington while trying to get a foot in the door as a librarian, met a “creative and talented” musician who cooked at one of the restaurants. They had a vision to create a dance band and

Marty skydives for Civic Theatre

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brent Marty decided to tackle his fear of heights for a good cause.

Marty, Booth TarkingFUNDRAISER ton Civic Theatre’s director of music and education, agreed to skydive if a bid of $1,000 could be reached. Jr. Civic parent and Civic Guild member Angela Wagner had bought the skydive gift certificate and offered a starting bid of $1,000 at a fundraiser to see Marty do the jump.

“We initially raised $2,000 at our fundraiser in June, and our Facebook initiative related to the jump itself is getting close to $1,000,” Marty said. “We hope to exceed that.

The video is getting a lot of attention from my friends and family who can’t believe I did it.”

The Carmel resident jumped out of the plane Aug. 24 at 13,000 feet on a tandem dive with a Skydive Indy instructor.

“The experienced instructors and staff at Skydive Indianapolis (based in Frankfort) were top-notch and made everything smooth and easy to understand,” Marty said. “The experience itself was, for me,

exhilarating. It did help to be doing a tandem dive with an instructor strapped on my back and in control. I’m not sure I would have taken that last step out of the plane on my own.”

Marty said he is fine inside tall buildings and isn’t afraid of being on airplanes.

“But if I’m outdoors, like on a roof of a skyscraper or the edge of a canyon, etc., I get very weak in the knees,” he said.

Marty doesn’t foresee doing it again in the near future but would consider another dive for a good cause.

DISPATCHES

Commentary by Don Knebel Many people are aware that the “Lord of the Rings” series was filmed in New Zealand. Fewer know that one TRAVEL of its locations has become a popular tourist attraction.

In 1998, director Peter Jackson, a New Zealand resident, engaged a helicopter crew to find a site with topography matching his vision of Hobbiton, a village in the mythical Shire of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books. He selected a 1,200-acre sheep and cattle farm, with rolling grassy hills and a small lake, in the Waikato region in the upper North Island, about 100 miles south of Auckland. Workers transformed 14 acres of the farm into Hobbiton, building the exteriors of about 40 Hobbit homes of various sizes and colors from plywood and polystyrene and planting gardens and hedges. Workers constructed a huge artificial tree atop one of the hills and created the façade of the doublearched bridge and mill near the lake. When filming ended in early 2000, about half of the Hobbit home exteriors remained and visitors started coming to the farm to get a look at Hobbiton. In 2002, the family owning the farm began offering guided tours of the

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.

area.

Jackson and his team returned to the site in 2009 to film “The Hobbit” trilogy. This time, crews constructed the exteriors of 44 Hobbit homes from more permanent materials and added details that would withstand closer inspection. Because the interior scenes of the Hobbit homes were filmed in a studio, the interiors of the homes are not finished.

In 2012, a replica of the Green Dragon Inn, serving refreshments, was added at the end

of the 2-hour tour route. For Tolkien fans, a visit to the Hobbiton Movie Set is a necessity on a trip to New Zealand. For everyone else, it is a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Mix up your batter and pour some into the hot grill pan. Cook for a few minutes on each side and serve as you would normally serve regular waffles.

Correct grammar, Yoda’s speech is Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’ll have to admit, I don’t know much about “Star Wars.” Somehow, I missed the window to watch the GRAMMAR GUY movies during my formative years. Although I have glasses, write about grammar and prefer staying inside, my lack of “Star Wars” appreciation makes others seriously second-guess my nerd street cred.

Yoda is an awesome green Muppet who could go toe-to-toe with Chuck Norris in a head-to-head matchup.

But is Yoda’s grammar correct? His sentence structure is certainly odd. He says things like, “When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.”

Odd, that sounds. Talking like this, I don’t know why I am.

For the most part, English syntax (how we arrange our words) follows the same pattern. In order for a sentence to be complete, it needs a subject and a predicate.

The predicate always includes a verb and often includes an object.

Most English sentences follow the subject-verb-object order. In one of these popular laser sword space movies, according to Google, Darth Vader says, “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” In this sentence, “I” is the subject, “find” is the verb and “lack of faith” is the object. Many other “Star Wars” quotes follow this subject-verb-object pattern. “I am your father.” “I think I just blasted it.” “Women always figure out the truth. Always.”

Yoda’s syntax follows a distinctly different pattern. For the most part, his sentences follow the object-subject-verb pattern. Let’s take this quote from Yoda: “Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.” In this sentence, “wonderful” appears first, serving as the object. This is followed by “mind,” the sentence’s subject. Finally, we get the verb, “is.” Object-subject-verb. Here’s a double: “Powerful (object) you (subject) have (verb) become; the dark side (object) I (subject) sense (verb) in you.” All of these sentences contain a subject and a predicate.

Therefore, the answer to the question is: Yes, Yoda’s speech pattern is grammatically correct; strange to our ears, it just sounds.
