Former Hoosier governors stress need for respectful dialogue to move forward
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
Three former Indiana governors — including one former U.S. vice president — sat down for a discussion about public service and leadership in front of a packed OneZone Chamber luncheon June 12 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton conference center in Noblesville.
POLITICS
Gov. Mitch Daniels, governor from 2004 to 2012; Vice President Mike Pence, elected governor in 2012 and vice president in 2016; and Gov. Eric Holcomb, elected governor in 2016 and 2020, spoke with OneZone President and CEO Jack Russell to an audience of about 600.
During the discussion, Pence said he was proud of the Trump-Pence administration, even if it didn’t end the way he wanted it to.
After President Trump lost his bid for reelection in 2020, Pence defied Trump’s call to not certify the results of that election. Trump supporters then stormed the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, 2021, where that certification was taking place.
Pence said at the June 12 forum that it was a privilege to serve as vice president. Without referencing current events, he added that he believes that the future of democracy depends on civility, character and respect.
Daniels agreed, stating that there are many examples of people in public office who treat their jobs with dignity and respect — even when they vigorously disagree with each other — and that he didn’t think those attributes would remain permanently out of fashion.
“It’s not that long since I left elected office in such a different world (than) today,” he said. “I hope that we’ll have people who, once again, embrace the idea that — yeah, having the right answers, the right policies, that’s important. But character is, too.”
Daniels said Pence displayed “remark-
able character” during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and the audience applauded in agreement.
Holcomb, who was recovering from losing his voice during an Indiana Pacers game the night before, agreed that civility will come back — but only if people work to make it happen.
Russell asked his three guests to name the most important issue facing Indiana. Holcomb said there are many issues, but if forced to pick one it would be workforce readiness — making sure Hoosier students are ready for the future. He added that Hamilton County is doing a good job with that.
Pence said the top current issue was the Pacers winning the NBA Finals, eliciting another round of applause from the audience. He noted that the two teams — Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder — are a metaphor for what’s happening in the country, with a stronger focus on the heartland.
Daniels agreed that Indiana is in a good position with a growing population and more college graduates choosing to stay. He said the challenge is to maintain that momentum in the face of what he said will be tough economic times ahead.
When asked to recall moments that made them proud to be Hoosiers, Daniels noted times when he traveled the state following floods or tornadoes and was inspired by the people who showed up to help.
Pence said balanced budgets and strong
policies are important, but agreed with Daniels that the most memorable times were when state residents showed what Hoosier hospitality means.
“If you run (toward) the sound of guns, you actually get to see people in their worst settings at their best — and those are Hoosiers,” he said, adding that his hope for the future is rooted in his faith in God and in the goodness, decency and character of the American people.
Holcomb agreed with his colleagues, adding that one of his proudest moments was hosting guests at the annual Indy 500 race, which he called a crown jewel of the state.
Closing out the forum, Russell said his three guests had made important contributions that shaped the course of the state.
“But more than policies or headlines, what they share is this — a deep belief in Indiana’s potential, a willingness to make hard decisions and a legacy rooted not in politics but purpose,” he said. “They didn’t just occupy the office of governor — they used (the role) to lead and to move Indiana forward. These three men showed us true leadership. Now it’s our turn to learn from these three great leaders, because the next chapter in Indiana’s story won’t be written by one person in one office. It will be written by the people in this room.”
Russell encouraged audience members not to wait for a title or for conditions to be perfect before they become a leader, and to help create solutions to the challenges Indiana faces in the future.

A new way to assess performance
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Noblesville Schools is implementing a new program to assess the performance of district administrators and encourage them to pursue professional growth.
EDUCATION
At the June 17 school board meeting, Noblesville Schools Assistant Superintendent of Learning Ryan Rich and Executive Director of Learning Jen Wheat Townsend shared details regarding the Administrator Professional Growth and Evaluation Program that Noblesville Schools will implement during the 2025-26 school year.
Rich said a team of administrators from across the district developed the program, which reflects recent research regarding effective school leadership.
The idea for the program came from a school leader paradigm concept introduced to Rich and Townsend a couple of years ago through the Indiana Association of School Principals. Rich said the program aims to develop leadership skills and assess annual performance; empower administrators to lead with purpose, drive meaningful change and cultivate a culture of sustained learning and growth
over time; and promote a commitment to growing administrators who are learning leaders successfully leading learning organizations.
“The concept of learning leaders is that if you are a Noblesville Schools educational leader, you should be constantly learning and growing,” Rich said. “If we are not learning and growing, then our schools are not growing and improving.”
Townsend said the timeline for the program is split into three phases:
• Phase 1 (May-July): Complete self-assessments and review/analyze data, identify possible problems of practice and create the first draft of a cycle of inquiry plan.
• Phase 2 (August-March): Meet with the evaluator to review and finalize the cycle of inquiry plan, implement the plan and have the evaluator conduct formal and informal observations, providing targeted feedback.
• Phase 3 (March-June): The administrator and evaluator will review the cycle of inquiry plan and will issue the final summative evaluation.

American Legion honors deputy
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Frank Huntzinger Noblesville American Legion Post 45 recently named Jacob Browning, 26, as the Hamilton County Deputy of the Year.
AWARD
American Legion posts annually recognize local heroes by reaching out to local police departments and taking nominations.
Browning graduated from the Indiana University Police Academy in 2020 and joined the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office the same year.
He primarily works night shift patrol from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
“My responsibilities include responding to calls for service across the county, conducting patrols in my designated area and proactively searching for illicit substances and firearms on the highways within Hamilton County,” Browning said. “Additionally, I serve as a field training officer and am a member of the Emergency Response Unit.”
Browning said his job as a deputy is rewarding but also challenging.
“The most rewarding moments come

from being able to genuinely make a difference in someone’s life during a difficult time, as well as playing a role in stopping criminal activity and keeping our community safe,” Browning said.
Browning said he is humbled by the Deputy of the Year honor.
“I am deeply honored to receive this award from a group of American veterans whose sacrifices, along with those of their families, have made it possible for all of us to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities we hold dear,” Browning said.
NHS announces new principal
news@currentnoblesville.com
Noblesville Schools announced June 13 that Noblesville High School Assistant Principal Janae Mobley will be the new principal of NHS, replacing previous principal Craig McCaffrey.
EDUCATION
Mobley, who has a doctorate in education leadership from the University of Kentucky, has been the assistant principal at NHS since 2019. She previously served as a dean of students at NHS, an assistant principal at Yorktown High School and a teacher in Carmel Clay Schools.
She was recently named Assistant Principal of the Year for the North Central Indiana Region 5 by the Indiana Association of School Principals.
“I am deeply honored and truly humbled to step into the role of principal at Noblesville High School, a school that means so much to me,” Mobley stated. “Being part of this community has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. I’m ready to continue serving in this new capacity — working side by side with students, staff and families to build on our successes and opportunities for every student to grow in themselves, their learning and their community.”
Noblesville Schools Executive Director of Marketing and Communications Marnie Cooke said in addition to overseeing graduation, Mobley has been responsible for collaborative teacher and leadership academic teams at the high school and spearheaded the adoption of the new Indiana high school diploma.
Superintendent of Noblesville Schools Dan Hile said he is confident Mobley will lead NHS with a vision for the future.
“The high school principal position is one of the most demanding and visible leadership roles in a school district,” Hile stated. “We were fortunate to have many candidates apply for this opening and held a competitive and comprehensive selection process with dozens of different voices offering input. Janae rose to the top thanks to her strong communication and interpersonal skills, deep care for Noblesville students, staff and families and enduring focus on academic excellence.”

Siblings promote summer camp
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
For youth with blood disorders, it can be challenging to find others their age who can empathize.
ADVOCACY
Noblesville siblings
Owen Bergman, 16, Andrew Bergman, 9, and Elizabeth Bergman, 7, all have Hemophilia B, a rare inherited bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of factor IX, a clotting protein essential for proper blood clotting.
The siblings recently attended Camp Brave Eagle in North Webster, a summer camp sponsored by the Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center and Hemophilia of Indiana, where youth ages 7-16 with bleeding disorders and their siblings can participate in a traditional summer camp experience. The family is now raising awareness about the camp for other children in the area.
The siblings’ mom, Sarah Bergman, said it’s hard for her children, or any child with a blood disorder, to attend a traditional summer camp because of the high potential for spontaneous bleeding that can cause lengthy bleeding episodes.
“If they have an injury, it can cause bleeding into the joints specifically, but then also if they hit their head, they would need to be treated with their IV factor to prevent them from bleeding into their brain,” Sarah said.
Bergman said she and her children want to raise awareness about the camp because it is the only one she knows of in Indiana specifically for kids with blood disorders.
“They get to meet kids that have the same disorder that they do from all over the state,” Bergman said.

Millers pay tribute to late coach
The loss of assistant coach Craig Lutz hit the Noblesville High School softball team hard.
SPORTS By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Lutz, who had been an assistant for more than a decade, died in January at age 53 from an aortic aneurysm.
“He was in good shape,” Millers’ head coach Deke Bullard said. “He ran all the time. It was sudden, tragic and totally unexpected. It was definitely emotional for the girls, especially my seniors who had four years under him.”
The team decided to dedicate the season to Lutz, a 1990 Noblesville High School graduate.
“It was a good way for us to honor him and show how much we cared for him and respected him,” Bullard said.
Bullard said the team’s practice shirts and wristbands were emblazoned with, “Do it for Lutz.”
“At the sectional and regional tournament this year, the girls all wrote his name on (their) forearms,” said Bullard, whose team finished 19-8, losing to West Lafayette Harrison in a Class 4A regional. “I didn’t know they did it until the game.”
Bullard said Lutz was his friend for 20 years. This was Bullard’s 10th season as coach. Lutz was on Bullard’s staff the entire time and served as an assistant one year before Bullard took over.
Millers senior second baseman Addi Emmerson said it was tough not to have Lutz.
“The seniors had learned from him the
last three years and it was an adjustment no one was really ready for,” Emmerson said. “It was really important we had him on the field with us in some fashion, so we did that in a multitude of ways.”
In addition to wristbands, practice shirts and the forearm tribute, Emmerson said they had stickers for the back of their batting helmets with the slogan, “Deuces get ‘em hot.”
“When there are two outs, two strikes and two balls, he would say, ‘Deuces get ‘em hot,’ and that would go around our dugout,” Emmerson said. “That was led by him and we made sure we honored him in that way.”
Emmerson said the seniors got to design the practice shirts with “Do it for Lutz” on the front and “It’s more than just a game” on the back.
“He always emphasized our team was a family and we were all in it together,” she said. “It was more than just softball. It was a community he built with us. We thought that showed his character in a way. We had something to play for beyond a win — we were trying to play for him and prove all he taught came to mean something.”
Emmerson said Lutz told the team to remember how much losing to Hamilton Southeastern in the 2024 sectional championship hurt.
“He said, ‘Next season, you are going to come back, you’re going to win it and it’s going to taste so much sweeter,’” Emmerson said. “When we did end up winning the sectional, it was a nod back to him, ‘You were right, coach, per usual.’”

NEW CITYSCAPE
Noblesville to install traffic-safety components downtown
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The City of Noblesville is considering options for Embrace Downtown, a multiphase project for critical infrastructure upgrades to the downtown area.
Phase 1A designs are set to be completed by the end of the year, and construction is scheduled to begin in 2026.
Noblesville Communications Director Lexie Rock said the city plans to create a traffic-calmed environment with streetscapes designed to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety for all road users, particularly pedestrians and cyclists.
“In addition to the safety benefits, traffic-calmed environments with curbless streets increase economic vitality and create equity for mobility impaired people by promoting freedom of movement,” Rock said.
Rock said enhancing safety and mobility in Noblesville is the goal of the Embrace Downtown project.
“There are multiple ways to create traffic-calmed environments, including narrowing the roadway, adding decorative finishes and increasing safety measures for pedestrians,” Rock said.
Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said as vehicle traffic increases in the downtown square, now is the time to begin the project.
“Our small businesses rely on foot traffic,” Jensen said. “They’re the backbone of our economy, so transitioning to slow traffic down and focusing more on the pedestrians will be a great segue to Noblesville’s next chapter.”
City of Noblesville Engineer Ali Krupski said project planners and city officials are studying the roadways for Phase 1A, which will focus on Logan Street between 8th and 10th streets, 9th Street between Clinton and Connor Streets and 8th Street between Logan and Clinton streets.
“The county will be expanding the judicial center at the same time as our construction, and the last thing we want to do is build this brand new, beautiful roadway, and then they are carrying construction equipment all over it,” Krupski said. “So, while we will be doing construction work
for Phase 1A, and it’ll open by the end of next year, we won’t be putting the finishing touches on it at that time.”
On Logan Street, the city will install curbless sidewalks to increase sidewalk space, improve accessibility and create amenity areas for businesses.
“The curbless design makes sidewalks more accessible for all types of people, especially those who have mobility challenges,” Krupski said. “Also, when the city has a big event on the square, it allows for more usability. We have an events committee that we’re meeting with now to discuss how they’re currently utilizing downtown
and what their vision would be for using downtown for events.”
On the inside of Logan Street near the historic courthouse, angled parking won’t change. On the other side of the street, near business fronts, the city plans to replace angled parking with parallel parking spaces, resulting in narrower road lanes.
“One of the main elements of Phase 1A is going from 15-foot lanes on Logan Street to 11-foot travel lanes,” Krupski said. “The lanes will feel and be tighter, which in turn makes drivers naturally not want to speed as much.”
There also will be a strip with lights,
WHAT’S NEXT?
As City of Noblesville officials and Embrace Downtown project planners continue to study the areas for the infrastructure project, City of Noblesville Engineer Ali Krupski said they want to begin bidding for Phase 1A by the end of the year.
“We want to start construction by March 2026 and have that construction be complete by Nov. 1, 2026,” Krupski said. “That would include the area between 8th and 9th on Logan Street, including the 9th Street intersection.”
Noblesville Communications Director Lexie Rock said the number of future phases depends on funding. The pri-
mary funding source for the Embrace Downtown project is the Downtown Development Fund, which the city created in 2016 to support downtown enhancements. Future construction phases will be programmed based on balancing city priorities, available funding and an economic impact analysis.
“The Downtown Development Fund is funded through food and beverage tax revenue which helps to spread the funding lift to include visitors to our city,” Rock said. “The current plan to finance the Embrace Downtown project is to bond against an annual unrestricted $425,000 appropriation in the Downtown
tree plantings and bollards on the side of the street near businesses, as well as the sidewalk and amenity space, which will be dedicated to business users.
“The sidewalk will be 10 feet wide,” Krupski said. “Businesses have tried to create their own amenity space, and that takes up usable sidewalk space for pedestrians. It’s hard enough for someone without mobility issues, so wider sidewalks are a significant positive aspect of the project. I think giving the restaurants and merchants space to promote their business without obstructing pedestrian walking will be so beneficial.”
Krupski said the traffic design also aims to draw more people downtown.
“With the widened sidewalks for amenity space and accessibility, there will naturally be more pedestrians downtown, which makes it feel like more of a pedestrian corridor,” Krupski said. “As our downtown becomes more vibrant, we want people to feel comfortable parking and walking downtown. I look forward to fixing the aging infrastructure and increasing accessibility.”

Development Fund, which could generate between $6 to $7 million in project proceeds depending on interest rates and repayment term.”
The city anticipates having construction cost estimates this fall, and Krupski said project planners are starting work on designs for future phases.
“I would assume that construction on 9th Street would be next in 2027 or 2028, but it’s funding dependent,” Krupski said. “Once Phase 1A is under construction, we’ll start looking further out.”
A Phase 1A update open house is planned for this fall.

Health system leaders discuss access to care in Indiana
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
More than 200 people attended a June 5 panel discussion at Prairie Waters Event Center in Westfield on the state of health care in Indiana, hosted by the Westfield Chamber of Commerce.
WELLNESS
President and CEO of Riverview Health Dave Hyatt, Community Health Network Vice President and Hospital Administrator Derek McMichael, IU Health President and CEO Dennis Murphy and Ascension St. Vincent Carmel President Chad Dilley spent more than an hour answering questions about access to care; preventative care; controlling costs; collaborating with other health care providers; health care solutions for employers; Medicare and Medicaid; telehealth; legislation that affects health care; and workforce shortages in health care.
Murphy said IU Health provides 50 percent more trauma care than any other system in the state and treats 80 percent of children with pediatric cancers.
“Our goal at IU Health is to make Indiana one of the healthiest states,” he said. “We’re really making sure that for these very specialized things, you don’t have to leave Indiana to get your care.”
The leaders said a key component for best health outcomes is access to care.
“If we have six month wait times when you can’t get into your primary care doctor, that’s unfortunately when you’re going to end up in the emergency department, and that is going to lead to higher costs,” Hyatt said, adding that Riverview has worked in the past two years to advance its primary
care and gastroenterology specialties.
In terms of workforce, panelists said they often focus on people within their own systems to retain talent.
“We’re all competing for the same workers and the same resources, and it’s hard because there aren’t enough in the state,” said McMichael, adding that Community Health has started a pipeline for nurses, imaging professionals and behavioral health specialists, among others, to grow within the system.
Dilley said technology, like telehealth, is key to access for all.
“I don’t think about it from a convenience standpoint, I think of it from an access standpoint,” he said. “There are significant challenges with getting care to rural (communities) and I think telehealth is a way to navigate that. (Most of us) are optimistic, and as leaders we are charged to figure these solutions out.”
The overarching message was that health care needs to reach all Hoosiers in order to have a healthy Indiana.’
“There’s a component we all do related to public health, whether that’s advocating for smoking cessation programs and increasing the cigarette tax or how we think about infant and maternal mortality and having programs that are out in the community (for) prenatal and post-natal care,” Murphy said. “I think there’s a huge portion of what we do that is public health related, largely because there is not a huge infrastructure for that in the state and it falls to (health care providers) to really think about those things that are not directly related to receiving care but are critically important to the health of everybody in the community.”

MJ Cuisine now open
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
A new restaurant, MJ Cuisine, opened for business June 1 at 20817 Hague Rd. in Noblesville.
RESTAURANT
MJ Cuisine, owned by Noblesville resident Mohsin Musallam, serves carry-out only. The menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes, including butter chicken, shish kabobs, fried rice and breakfast croissants. It also sells a variety of beverages, including smoothies, milkshakes and boba tea.
“I’m trying to specialize in fusion cuisine, which is a mixture of Indian, Mediterranean, Chinese and American cuisine,” Musallam said. “The menu caters to people wanting to explore unique flavors. It’s a one-stop shop for people who are into experiencing something different and something flavorful.”
Musallam, who has a background preparing food in convenience stores, is delighted for the opportunity to open his own restaurant.
“I’ve been living in Noblesville since 2020, and I was looking for an opportunity for a restaurant close to home because I love the community,” Musallam said. “Once I found this space, I grabbed the opportunity.”
Musallam discovered his passion for food while working in convenience stores.
“Before I started making fusion cuisine, I was always making traditional convenience-store food like fried chicken,” Musallam said. “I realized that if people want Indian food, they go to an Indian restaurant. Same for Chinese, American and Mediterranean. I wanted to raise the bar and create a place where people could get it all and have the best of both worlds.”
Musallam plans to open more restaurants.
“Since I can only serve takeout at this location, I would love to find a space in the future to create a dine-in experience,” Musallam said. “I want to get MJ Cuisine out there for people who are not afraid to try something different and make people excited about trying something new.”

Flower stand to open downtown
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Noblesville resident Roxana Snedeker plans to open The Chestnut Flower Stand next month. She will sell fresh, homegrown specialty cut flowers at the stand, which will be at 578 Chestnut St. in Noblesville.
COMING SOON
Snedeker began gardening during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
“I have a room in my house where I started a bunch of plants from seeds, and cut flowers was one of the main things that I started growing in the beginning,” Snedeker said. “Everything is grown at my home in downtown Noblesville, and I’m almost to the point where mowing the lawn takes five minutes because there’s hardly any grass left.”
Because her garden has taken over her yard, she decided to sell some of the flowers, including tulips, sunflowers, snapdragons and dahlias.
“A lot of the flowers that I’m growing, you cannot just go out to the local nursery and buy them. You either have to order

them through a supplier or start them from seed. I liked the idea of growing them from seed and selling them fresh from my backyard,” Snedeker said.
The flower stand, which will be open a couple of times each week, also will have flower bouquets.
“I just want the community to research any flowers they get and learn where they’re coming from,” Snedeker said. “I am doing this to give the community local, fresh-cut flowers right in town.”

Kickstarrt, at 14560 River Rd., opened in May after more than a year of construction and preparation. Founded by Syed Ali and his wife, Dr. Farheen Pasha — a Noblesville dentist and owner of SkyView Dental — the concept was born out of a shared commitment to community and accessibility.
While Pasha continues to lead the dental venture, Ali has brought a passion for service into the restaurant space.
“When I moved to Indiana, I felt there weren’t many great places to just sit, work or relax with your family,” Ali said. “I wanted to offer a clean, comfortable space — somewhere moms could bring their kids but still have their own me time.”
Kickstarrt offers an espresso bar and a food menu featuring burgers, fries, salads and milkshakes. The food program, Ali said, was three months in the making.

As a board member of the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank, Ali said affordability was a key motivator.
“Food insecurity is a real concern here,” he said. “We wanted to create something that was accessible but still high quality.”
The restaurant also offers halal meat options and aims to serve as a gathering spot for people of all backgrounds.
“We want to think like a community, be like a community,” Ali said. “This isn’t just about profit — it’s about creating a space that welcomes everyone.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Noblesville kitchen gets bold new look
Commentary by Larry Greene
This Noblesville kitchen evolved from a dark, cramped galley into a bright, pattern-rich space that celebrates both color and character.
THE BLUEPRINT
• The dramatic renovation replaced dark cabinets and plain counters with sage green cabinetry and crisp white quartz surfaces.
• Eye-catching geometric floor tiles create visual interest, while a classic subway tile backsplash adds timeless appeal.
• The arched doorway was preserved as a charming architectural feature.
• Warm wood window trim and vintageinspired lighting, including a stunning stained- glass pendant, infuse the space with personality and warmth.
• The result is a kitchen that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Before After
Urban set to perform ‘High and Alive’ tour at Ruoff
By Alan Sculley editorial@youarecurrent.com
Keith Urban has always been an artist willing to take chances musically, to leave room in the recording studio for creative spontaneity that allows songs to go in unexpected directions and take on dimensions he didn’t anticipate.
Urban will perform his “High and Alive” tour at 7 p.m. June 28 at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville.
As such, Urban’s albums have generally included at least a song or two that ventured beyond his signature rock-and-popinflected country sound or incorporated production approaches that veered from the norm of mainstream country music.
But as Urban turned his attention to making his follow-up to “The Speed Of Now Part 1,” he wondered if he should rein in his tendency to go off script in the studio. So, he purposely sought to create a more structured environment with the recording sessions.
Urban followed his plan and recorded all the songs for the album, which he planned to name “615” after the area code for Nashville where the album was recorded. That’s when something happened that Urban had never experienced before. With all the songs finished and ready for sequencing, Urban didn’t like what he heard and he scrapped the album.
“I think subconsciously I was wondering if sometimes my albums feel a bit scattershot and hard to define what they are,” Urban said. “And I thought, well, maybe I need to have more focus and definition for a specific kind of sound and a certain kind of song, and so I started recording those kinds of sounds and songs and I didn’t really, it didn’t allow for as much spontaneity as I’ve done on every other record — and exploration. The result was something a little bit too linear for me.”
Urban reluctantly set aside the album, but he now realizes he had been doing the right thing all along by allowing for spontaneity in the studio. And he set about making an album that felt right.
“The very first song we wrote after
that was ‘Chuck Taylors,’” Urban said. “It’s probably not coincidental why that song is so buoyant and high energy because I felt liberated after the ‘615’ experience. I’m like, ‘OK, well, I’ve confirmed how I don’t want to make records and I’d rather do it this way.’”
Urban named his new album “High” to represent the joy he felt during the project. And the music feels worthy of the enthusiasm the 57-year-old guitarist-singer-songwriter expresses about the album.
“High,” which was released in the fall of 2024, opens on an especially upbeat note with “Straight Line,” a rootsy tune with an irresistible groove, perky acoustic instrumentation and plenty of hooks that will feel instantly familiar to Urban’s fans. The same can be said of hefty ballads like “Daytona” and “Messed Up As Me,” two songs brought over from the “615” album that feel like prototypical Urban tunes. But Urban stretches out with other songs. The aforementioned “Chuck Taylors” combines the organic tones of acoustic guitar and a peppy synthetic beat to create a fresh and catchy sound, while “Laughin’ All The
Way To The Drank” punches up the beat and goes even more high octane when it hits an instrumental segment with banjo, violin and guitar solos. Taken together, “High” is a diverse, well-rounded effort that offers both musical comfort food and adventure.
Urban was happy with his latest album. But as he started planning for his tour in support of “High,” he sensed it was time for another change. He parted ways with three members of his touring band — Grammy nominated drummer Terence F. Clark, guitarist/keyboardist Nathan Barlowe, and most notably, guitarist and band leader Jerry Flowers, who had worked side by side with Urban since 1997.
“It was really born of the fact that I wanted to be literally out of a comfort zone of familiarity,” Urban said, adding that he and Flowers will always remain close friends. “I kind of have to just keep creating new things and creating with new people creates new things. It just does. And I was wanting to do that at some point when it just was the strongest sort of voice, and this year felt like the voice was speaking the strongest. It was like get out of your comfort zone. Throw yourself into a completely unfamiliar musical environment and see what happens.”
Known as one of country’s best live performers, Urban promises fans who see his “High and Alive” shows this summer will come away happy with the experience.
“We’ve got obviously new songs to put in there from the new record,” said Urban, who has 24 No. 1 singles on his resume, “(We’re) looking back into the catalog and finding some things we haven’t done in a long time or maybe ever, finding acoustic moments to do spontaneous things each night.
“I want it to be a high-energy night, so we come out of the gate swinging with the first couple of songs. I just want everybody to release. I just want everybody to forget about their lives for a couple of hours and just have a great time and leave feeling better than they came. That’s my mission.”

‘The Cottage’ is set for Red Barn Theatre
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Red Barn Summer Theatre Artistic Director Michael Taylor and Associate Artistic Director Luke McLaughlin took an immediate liking to “The Cottage” after seeing it on Broadway.
PLAY
“’The Cottage’ is fresh off Broadway, and the Red Barn is fortunate to be one of the first theaters in the Midwest to have the privilege of producing this play,” McLaughlin said. “As soon as the rights became available, I mentioned that Michael (Taylor) should try to scoop it up because it would be a hot property for theaters nationwide. We both cannot wait to share this hysterical, unique theatrical experience with our audiences.”
Red Barn presents “The Cottage” June 25-29 and July 2-6 at the Frankfort venue. McLaughlin, who will direct, said Taylor also attended a regional production in Chicago to determine if it would be feasible to present the show in a theater of Red
Barn’s size.

“‘The Cottage’ is a farce with a style entirely of its own,” McLaughlin said. “It will be a great challenge for our company this year.”
McLaughlin said the play is fast paced.
“(The play is) filled to the gills with wit and keeps the audience on their toes from the moment the dialogue begins,” he said. “It’s been a long, long time since I’ve laughed as hard as I did during my first viewing.”
Taylor, a Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate who is a Frankfort High School theater teacher, portrays Beau in the production.
“Timing is the true challenge,’ McLaughlin said. “British wit demands a cadence that requires time and practice to perfect. With only 10 days to put the show together, the company knows it will take additional time and effort to polish the dialogue for our audiences. “
The cast consists of three men and three women.

Many remote possibilites
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
HUMOR
My birthday is coming up — in about 9 months — but don’t give it any thought. I have already bought myself the perfect gift from the Brookstone website: the Brookstone Pillow Universal TV Remote Control.
Yes, someone finally had the brains to sew a TV remote inside a throw pillow. Brilliant! The people who wasted valuable time thinking up Windows 11 or the new iPhone must be kicking themselves. Really, what man hasn’t spent 15 minutes looking for his clicker, then wondered why he couldn’t change channels with something he never misplaces — like his can of beer. Hey, there’s another place to put a remote.
Never again will you ask, “Where’s the remote?” Instead, your wife will ask why there is mustard on her pillow. One fan commented, “It looks like the regular pillow I cuddle with.” OK, that is a little creepy, but I was still intrigued.
There are some safety warnings — like a minor possibility of being electrocuted if you drool on the thing. It shuts off after two hours of inactivity. This is not going to happen because most men are persistent channel surfers. However, falling asleep on the pillow is a pressing problem, so to speak. A few customers complained that one minute they were watching a documentary about FDR on the History Channel and minutes later woke up to “The Simpsons.”
As I mentioned, the significant benefit is that you will never lose the remote again. I’m not optimistic that this is a surefire solution for me. Most people when they play golf occasionally lose a golf ball. The last time I played, I lost three clubs. At Kroger, I typically spend 20 minutes shopping and another 20 looking for my car. The designers of this pillow state that the gadget is idiot-proof. But when I paid 40

bucks for this contraption, I think I proved them wrong.
My wife Mary Ellen wondered if she could start the dishwasher with the pillow, but I had to put my foot down. This kind of laziness is ruining our country, although it would be awesome to get Orville Redenbacher popping in the microwave by just leaning back in bed right before the movie starts. But I’d be afraid that in the morning, when I turned over for a final few zzzs, it would tun on the car in the garage. Cause of death: exhaustion.
Mary Ellen and I decided not to wait for Christmas and ordered the pillow remote online. We don’t have the same taste in television shows, so we often have a little spat about what we should watch on our big-screen TV. Now that we have this new cushy gadget, it has added some spice and excitement to our marriage.
Never underestimate the value of a good pillow fight.
